Chapter 3: The Mysterious Cave

The three of them ran in the woods, although Zhu Shan and the two were still young, but because they were born in this mountain village surrounded by lofty mountains, they would receive various physical training since they were young, and adapt to the rules of survival here in advance. So, even though they are not cultivators, they can move quickly through the woods.

After about an hour, the speed of the thin monkey gradually slowed down, and said to Lin Feng behind him: "Brother Lin, the cave should be not far ahead, let's pay more attention to the surroundings!"

"Okay, Zhu Shan, you also pay attention to the surroundings, and if you find the cave, say it, and the movement is smaller, in case there are wild beasts in the cave, so as not to startle the snakes. Lin Feng said after hearing this.

"Leather monkey, you have to look carefully, whether it is here or not, don't even get the general direction wrong. Zhu Shan said with a little suspicion.

"Don't worry, I've lived in the mountains for more than ten years, and I still have this recognition of the mountains and forests. The thin monkey replied to Zhu Shan in an affirmative tone.

The three of them searched carefully in the woods, and it didn't take long for the thin monkey to whisper: "Brother Lin, I wish you fat, I found it." ”

Hearing this, the two quickly walked to the thin monkey, only to see that in front of the thin monkey was a small bush, completely blocking the view in front of them, and the thin monkey opened a corner gap in the middle of the bushes, and saw the scene behind the bushes through this corner gap.

"Ouch" Zhu Shan was big, and after he passed, he directly pulled the thin monkey aside, wanting to see the cave in his mouth. The thin monkey was unguarded, and fell to the ground with a small cry of pain.

"Ouch" This time it was Zhu Shan's turn to call, Lin Feng slapped Zhu Shan on the back of the head, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Tell you to be careful, don't make a move." ”

"Oh!" Zhu Shan replied aggrievedly, covering the back of his head.

Although Zhu Shan was naughty and mischievous and dominated among the children in the village, he did not dare to provoke Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng is older than him, and he bullied people in the family when he was a child.

Zhu Shan stepped aside, Lin Feng stepped forward to watch, through the gap in the corner of the bushes, Lin Feng did see a cave.

It was an ordinary-looking cave, both the entrance to the cave and the trees and grass around the cave were ordinary, nothing special, it felt like it was naturally formed, and there were no traces of artificial excavation or wild animal excavation.

However, this alone does not guarantee that there is no danger in the cave, after all, even if it is naturally formed, there may be wild beasts inhabiting it.

"You wait for me here, I'll go first and check if there's any danger. Lin Feng turned around and ordered the two.

Saying that, he did not stop, took the iron sword, went around to the other side of the bushes, and walked cautiously towards the mouth of the cave. During this process, Lin Feng had been paying attention to his surroundings and found that there was nothing special, just like an ordinary cave. Moreover, when he looked at the cave from the gap in the bushes just now, Lin Feng did not find the bright light inside the cave that the thin monkey said.

At that time, Lin Feng only thought that the sun's rays were too strong, covering up other bright lights, but at present, it seems that there is indeed nothing surprising about this cave, and that glimmer of light may also be the illusion of a thin monkey.

At this time, Zhu Shan also reacted, immediately grabbed the collar of the thin monkey's clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Leather monkey, you dare to lie to me, where is the light in the cave?"

Because Lin Feng was here just now, he hadn't had time to see the cave yet, and now that Lin Feng left, Zhu Shan took advantage of this time to take a closer look at the cave, and like Lin Feng, he didn't find any light inside.

"I kid you not, I really saw it last time. The thin monkey said hurriedly.

Although the thin monkey and Zhu Shan are both "little bullies" in Lan Village, because of their size, the thin monkey is not Zhu Shan's opponent, so they are also a little afraid of Zhu Shan in ordinary times.

"Tell me, then, where is the light? What light can I see now but the sun. If you can't give me a reason, I'll make your head glow!"

"Maybe it's a matter of angle, let's look at it in another place. Skinny Monkey said with some uncertainty. He was also suspicious, the last time he clearly saw a glimmer of light in the cave, although it was a quick glance, but he really saw it.

At this time, Lin Feng had already reached the entrance of the cave, he pressed his body against the mud wall outside the cave, and stretched out his head to look inside. At this look, Lin Feng immediately found that there was indeed a bright light in the cave, but it was relatively faint and not conspicuous, and he didn't see it just now because of the angle.

"Look, I didn't lie to you! there's really light in there. At this time, the thin monkey and Zhu Shan also changed places and saw the light in the cave.

"Haha, good boy, I knew you wouldn't lie to me, I was joking with you just now!" Zhu Shan patted the thin monkey on the shoulder, changed his previous fierce face, and immediately said with a smile.

The thin monkey pouted, and he had already scolded Zhu Shan several times in his heart.

Although Zhu Shan was talking and laughing here, Lin Feng was not so leisurely, because he didn't know what the bright light was, and he didn't know if there was danger in the cave.

Now, not only the skinny monkey was curious about it, but even Lin Feng had become interested in the light, eager to see what illuminated the dark cave.

After looking around to see that there was no danger, Lin Feng began to slowly move inside, because the light outside was strong, and there were glowing objects inside, plus Lin Feng was a monk, and his eyes were originally better than ordinary humans, so he could see the scene inside the cave more clearly.

After taking a few steps forward, Lin Feng found that the birthplace of the bright light was not far away, just a dozen zhang away in front of him. In addition, there are no traces of the life of wild beasts such as animal hair or animal footprints, and of course, no traces of human life have been found.

He was a little relieved and began to continue to explore inward, but at the same time he did not let his guard down, continued to remain vigilant, and moved forward cautiously.

The whole process was thrilling, and in less than half an hour, Lin Feng came to the birthplace of bright light. It was something that looked like a stone, small in size, but more blazing than the light of the Night Pearl.

"Could this be..."

From the moment he saw the stone, Lin Feng knew what it was, he had seen it in the family's treasure house, it was a spirit stone that was regarded as a treasure by the monks.

When a monk breaks through the Forging Body Realm and steps into the Qi Gathering Realm, he must begin to rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. In some places, when the aura is rich enough to a certain extent, it will liquefy, which is called spiritual fluid.

The value of the Ichor is far greater than that of the Reiki as it is the essence of the Reiki. And when the spiritual liquid is rich again to a certain extent, it will form a solid and turn into a spirit stone.

It can be said that the spirit stone is something that every monk dreams of, and cultivating with the spirit stone can save too much time.

The Lin family where Lin Feng is located is a big family in Falling Moon City, but, according to Lin Feng's understanding, the Lin family has not been able to get many spirit stones in a year.

In this kind of heaven and earth environment where the aura is getting thinner and thinner, there are very few places where spirit stones can still be produced, and most of the spirit stones are left over from ancient times.

However, there is always a day when the resources run out, and after years of consumption, the current spirit stone is really a rare item.

Lin Feng picked up the spirit stone and rubbed it with his hand, the surface of the stone was very slippery, warm as jade, and there was no roughness of the stone at all. The spirit stone was the size of an adult's fist, much larger than the spirit stone that Lin Feng had seen in the family before.

"Why are there spirit stones here?" After a brief surprise, Lin Feng thought of this question.

"Could it be that this is a spiritual stone mine that has been preserved from ancient times? No, it is because the spiritual energy here is very thin, so there are few monks here, if there is a spiritual stone mine nearby, the spiritual energy here should not be so small. ”

Lin Feng was muttering to himself, guessing the origin of the spirit stone: "Or, was it really guessed correctly by the thin monkeys, this is a place where a senior buried his treasure?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng found that there was no point in continuing to think like a headless fly, there was still a way behind the spirit stone, and if he continued to go deeper, he should be closer to the answer.

However, before that, Lin Feng had to return to the outside of the cave first, since there should be no danger inside, then bring Zhu Shan and the others with him, if he left them outside and ignored them, it might be even more dangerous.

So, Lin Feng took the spirit stone and walked quickly outside. Because he didn't have to be as careful as coming in when he went out, Lin Feng returned to the entrance of the cave after only a few moments.

"Brother Lin, you are out, how is it inside, is there any treasure!" Seeing Lin Feng come out, Zhu Shan and the others rushed over with anticipation.

Lin Feng spread out his hand, took the spirit stone and said, "You guessed it, there really is." ”

"This is that glowing thing, is it the Night Pearl?" the two of them stared at the spirit stone in Lin Feng's hand motionlessly, and asked inexplicably.

"It's not the Night Pearl, it's the Spirit Stone. Lin Feng explained.

"What is a spirit stone, and can you eat it?" asked Zhu Shan.

Lin Feng slapped Zhu Shan's head and scolded: "You melon baby, you know how to eat, and you say you can eat the stone." ”

"Oh!" Zhu Shan hugged his head and responded with grievances, and the thin monkey laughed on the side.

Zhu Shan's biggest characteristic is that he is thick-skinned, and he instantly forgot the embarrassment just now, and asked again: "What is the spirit stone?"

"Spirit stones, to put it simply, are things that monks use to cultivate. Lin Feng knew that they wouldn't understand it if it was complicated to tell them, so he explained it simply.

"Monk! This is actually something for monks!" Zhu Shan and the thin monkey were shocked.

Because Zhu Shan and his ancestors have lived in Lan Village for generations, it is difficult for Lan Village to produce monks, so their concept of monks is very vague. In their minds, everything about the monks has nothing to do with them.

"Yes, it's for the monks, this cave is very deep, I am afraid that it will be dangerous for you to stay outside, so I came out and asked you to go in together, if it is not what I expected, there should be something in the depths of the cave. Lin Feng said.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go, I didn't expect that I, Zhu Shan, would have the honor to explore the cave related to monks, it's really exciting to think about! Maybe I'll soar into the sky and step into the ranks of monks!" Zhu Shan urged excitedly.

Not only Zhu Shan, but also the thin monkey was very excited, although they had never seen the monk, they had heard rumors about the monk since they were children. In their eyes, a monk is a being who can go to heaven and earth and can do anything.

"Well, let's go, but be careful, although I didn't find any danger inside, I didn't reach the end either, and I'm not sure it's absolutely safe inside. Lin Feng reminded.

With that, Lin Feng took the two of them and walked towards the cave.
