Chapter 9: Long Yuan
Lin Feng looked around, pulling the vines on the edge of the rocks, and then throwing some gravel down, trying to estimate the height of this place. During this time, the Nether Cat has been staring at the cliff wall, pacing back and forth there.
"What are you doing?" Affected by it, Lin Feng also ran to the wall, wanting to see what the Nether Cat was observing.
The cliffs here are the same as the surroundings, covered with vines, all of which hang down from above, and there are many vines that cover the cliff walls completely.
"Bang bang!"
Just as Lin Feng was in a daze at the vines that spread all over the cliff, the Nether Cat suddenly pulled at the vines in front of him and pulled them apart. After the ghost cat did this, the vines that had completely covered the cliff wall began to become sparse, and through the cracks in the vines, Lin Feng saw that behind the vines was not a cliff, but a black one.
"It's a cave!" Lin Feng exclaimed, in the middle of this cliff, there was actually a cave, and in an instant, Lin Feng thought of a lot.
Obviously, this cave should not be naturally formed, it is difficult to form a cave in such an environment, and similarly, this cave does not look like a nest carved out by birds, because the entrance to the cave has been completely covered by vines, and it is covered with a thick layer, if it is a nest of birds, then at least one exit should be left.
The moment he saw this cave, Lin Feng directly thought of the cave before, the distance between the two caves was not far, it was only about a few dozen miles. Such a distance is nothing to a monk, and some high-ranking monks may have walked more than dozens of miles in the blink of an eye.
In the previous cave, Lin Feng deduced from the hidden poem on the wall that the cave was not the whole place where the treasure was hidden. It's just that the clue has been interrupted, and when he sees the Nether Cat coming out of the cave, he thinks that the place behind him has been found by the Nether Cat.
However, when Lin Feng followed the Nether Cat to the top of the mountain, he knew that his previous guess was wrong. The Nether Cat should not have found the treasure behind it yet, and moved the spirit stone out, just to promote the ripening of the purple vermilion fruit.
Moreover, if this cave is the follow-up to the previous cave, then some doubts in Lin Feng's heart will be solved. Since it is a treasure left by the monk, there must be items with aura inside, and because of these items, this place with thin aura can grow the miraculous medicine of purple vermilion fruit. Even, the Nether Cat can appear in this remote barren mountain, maybe because of the things in this cave.
"I'll help you. ”
Lin Feng stepped forward and began to pick up the vines at the entrance of the cave, the Nether Cat did not refuse, it was now also eager to enter the cave. Lin Feng swung the iron sword, the iron sword was a medium-grade combat weapon, and the iron was like mud, with its help, in the blink of an eye, they cleaned up all the vines gathered at the entrance of the cave.
"Let's go. ”
"Meow!"
The man and the beast looked at each other, and then walked towards the cave, knowing that there might be danger inside, but they both felt that it was worth visiting.
After walking a distance, there was no light in the cave, and it became pitch black. Lin Feng could no longer observe the environment inside the cave, he only knew that it was a road that winded downward, and it was very deep. He leaned against the stone wall, very careful with every step, and the Nether Cat was the same, leaning against the stone wall, walking cautiously.
"This cave goes all the way down, and maybe it leads directly to the bottom of the mountain. Lin Feng guessed in his heart.
Later, they walked for a long time, and Lin Feng couldn't remember how long they had been walking, only that they had been going down. But Lin Feng estimated that they had already passed the foot of the mountain by now, that is, they were already underground.
When Lin Feng was almost numb, he finally saw hope, because in front of him, a ray of light appeared. The Nether Cat was also overjoyed, although it was a spirit animal, it was still excited by the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.
They all picked up their pace, but they were still careful. Finally, they walked out of the cave, and the strong light made Lin Feng close his eyes. After closing his eyes briefly, Lin Feng opened his eyes, but what he saw was not the scenery on the earth, and these bright lights did not come from the sky.
The first thing that caught Lin Feng's eyes was a huge stone stele, and the surface of the stele was engraved with two big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing - Long Yuan.
This stele is very large, more than ten zhang high, and about five zhang wide. The word "Longyuan" engraved on the stele reveals the atmosphere of antiquity and vicissitudes, and exudes a dazzling light, anyone who sees this stele will know that this stele is absolutely extraordinary.
And this place resembles a huge karst cave, and the entire karst cave is illuminated by the light emitted by the word "Longyuan". The cave that Lin Feng and the Nether Cat walked in front of was similar to a passage, and the stone monument stood at the exit of the passage.
"Bluff!"
When the ghost cat saw the stone tablet, the cold hair on its body immediately stood on end, and it howled, and in that cry, it seemed to reveal fear.
"Are you afraid of that stone tablet?" Lin Feng asked.
"Bluff!"
The Nether Cat ignored him, staring at the stele motionless with its dark eyes, and let out another howl, as if to embolden herself.
"It can make the Nether Cat with the bloodline of a third-order spirit beast afraid, this stone tablet is absolutely extraordinary. Lin Feng touched his chin and secretly estimated the value of the stone tablet in his heart. Then he said with some heartache: "It's a pity that it's too big to take away." ”
This stele made the ghost cat extremely frightened, but Lin Feng was not affected in the slightest, he slowly walked towards the stele, stood in front of the stele, and gently touched the surface of the stele with his hand.
The surface of the stele is very rough and unpretentious, no different from the stones of the outside world, but a fool will know that this stele is definitely not as simple as it seems.
"It's nothing special!" Lin Feng spread his hands, glanced at the Nether Cat, and said flatly.
He spoke like this, of course, on purpose, and Lin Feng still held a grudge against the things that the Nether Cat had beaten him up and dragged him off the cliff before. Now it is rare to see the frightened appearance of the ghost cat, and he naturally wants to show his superiority.
The Nether Cat glared at Lin Feng fiercely, but it didn't refute, it was a spirit beast, it was quite sensitive to bloodlines, and on the stone tablet, it felt a kind of suppression between bloodlines. In front of this bloodline, its body couldn't help but want to tremble.
Seeing Lin Feng caressing the stele casually, the Nether Cat knew that although the stele was special, it should not have the ability to attack. So, overcoming its inner fear, it walked slowly towards the stone monument.
"Cut!"
Lin Feng saw that the Nether Cat was no longer afraid, and the sense of superiority in his heart was naturally gone, he pursed his lips and walked around behind the stone tablet, no longer paying attention to this place.
Just now, all his vision was obscured by the stone tablet, and now he passed the stone tablet and saw the whole picture of this cave. The entire cave is relatively empty, except for the stone tablet at the entrance of the cave, in the middle of it, there is a sword suspended in mid-air.
The whole body of this sword is as crystal as jade, the sword light is awe-inspiring and brilliant, the blade is flashing with cold light, and the tip of the sword is sharp, with an unrivaled posture.
On the top of the sword, there is also a ring, composed of gold and silver, which is very beautiful, as if it is made of a small golden snake and a small silver snake intertwined with each other, beautiful!
The ring has been hovering above the sword in a graceful arc, as if to protect the sword and to set it off.
"This must be a treasure!" Lin Feng exclaimed in his heart, he looked at the iron sword in his hand again, the comparison between the two, not to mention anything else, just in terms of appearance, that sword is more than a hundred times better than the iron sword.
"Meow!"
Suddenly, the Nether Cat let out a terrible cat meow, and Lin Feng turned his head to look, only to see the Nether Cat's whole body with cold hair, its back towering, and its eyes staring at the sword. This posture, this demeanor, is the same as the stone tablet I saw just now.
"There's something wrong with you, I'm surprised. Lin Feng glanced at the Nether Cat, he felt that the Nether Cat must have been evil, and since he arrived in this cave, he has been shocked.
Then he said: "I'll tell you, it's a sword, it's a weapon of our humans, and it won't be of much use if you get it, just rely on your own body." Don't rob me, no matter how fierce you scream, it's useless, I won't give you the sword, this matter is not negotiable. ”
Lin Feng had a tough attitude, and when he saw that sword for the first time, he was determined to get it. However, Lin Feng thought again, this Nether Cat is not alone, his parents have not shown up yet, it can compete with the little Nether Cat, but in front of the big Nether Cat, he is a dish.
So, in order not to push the Nether Cat too hard, he relaxed his tone again, and said in a consultative tone: "If you really want it, I'll give you this." Anyway, it's all swords, and mine is not bad, you see, you still have the wound on your back. ”
Lin Feng is really a bit immoral when he speaks like this, and he is completely revealing people's scars. In normal times, the Nether Cat would have pounced on him, but now it is not in the mood. Because on the sword in the middle of the cave, the Nether Cat once again felt the powerful power of the bloodline.
And this time it was different from the stone tablet just now, this time what it felt was lifelike, with the power of a vibrant bloodline. In other words, when it saw that sword now, it was like seeing a living high-level spirit beast.
Seeing that the Nether Cat didn't reply, Lin Feng thought that he was not satisfied with such a result. So he said: "Otherwise, I don't want the purple vermilion fruit on the top of the mountain, and I will take it as compensation for you." If you still don't think it's enough, you can take six layers of spirit stones in the cave before. ”
Lin Feng thought that the conditions he had offered were already very good, but the Nether Cat still didn't reply, still staring at the sword.
Lin Feng thought that the Nether Cat still disagreed, and couldn't bear it anymore, so he pointed at the Nether Cat and roared at it: "Nether Cat, don't go too far, I'm already so sincere, you don't know what to do, don't think that you can do whatever you want with a third-order spirit beast."
Who hasn't ordered a master yet, if I call all the masters in my family, it's not a matter of minutes to clean you up, I'm here for your good, you don't have to make an inch. ”
Lin Feng didn't know that the Nether Cat didn't care about him, just because he was afraid, in his opinion, the Nether Cat was still coveting the sword. So, he was there and wits with the air for a long time.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to tell you more, whoever gets it is whoever's own. Seeing that the Nether Cat was still indifferent, Lin Feng took a brisk step and quickly rushed to the position of the sword, he wanted to get the sword in his hands first.
Lin Feng moved quickly, for fear of being preempted by the Nether Cat, but when he inadvertently turned around, he saw that the Nether Cat was still stunned in place, and he was secretly happy in his heart: "Hey, I'm afraid this cat is stupid!"
When Lin Feng ran to a distance of about three zhang from the sword, and was about to stretch out his hand, the sword suddenly shone brightly, and was illuminated by this light, before he could say a word, nor did he have time to make any movements, Lin Feng stood directly in place, as if he had lost his soul, and his eyes gradually became dazed and empty.
