"Well, I see. Lu Ping'an nodded lightly, then turned his head and asked, "What's the matter, Master, do you want to cultivate in the cave?"

The old beggar was tickling with a branch that had just been broken, and was asked by Lu Ping'an, probably because of his weak heart, and suddenly became excited.

"Uh...... Just, exactly!"

The old beggar raised his hand and stroked his messy and sparse beard, pretending to be serious, and said, "The master has hidden a treasure in that cave, and you must take it before noon, remember, you must be careful." ”

"Huh, baby?"

As soon as he heard the word "baby", Lu Ping'an's eyes suddenly lit up.

Listening to the meaning of the old beggar's words, this should be a test of his own strength.

Once he has obtained the treasure, how can the old beggar, as the master, be embarrassed to take it back again?

Although the Moyang Sword that the old beggar gave him before was of a very high grade, he couldn't use it at all, just like holding a mountain of gold and having nowhere to spend it.

This time, I hope the old beggar will give himself a practical one.

With these in mind, Lu Ping'an summoned the Wind Thunder Sword and cautiously walked towards the cave.

Since it is a test, then don't think about it, there must be a hidden crisis in the cave, and it is very likely that there is a certain spirit beast with strong combat power living here.

"Tsk, throw this away as soon as possible, a sword is a sword, and all the bells and whistles are simply an insult to the sword. ”

The old beggar's eyesight was profound, and he immediately saw the magic spell hidden in the Wind Thunder Sword in Lu Ping'an's hand, and said in a slightly stern tone.

His disciples actually used the "magic sword" for tricks, rather than the "war sword" that purely relied on swordsmanship and sword qi to kill.

If this is preached, will it not be ridiculed?

On the other side, seeing the old beggar so solemn, the seriousness in Lu Ping'an's eyes was even worse.

But even so, he didn't put away the Wind Thunder Sword, because he hadn't systematically learned swordsmanship at all.

Putting away the Wind Thunder Sword now, it doesn't make any sense except for self-surrendering strength.

"Hehe, you bastard. ”

Seeing that Lu Ping'an also held the Wind and Thunder Sword in his hand, the old beggar couldn't help but shake his head and scolded with a smile.

If it were someone else, seeing the disciple so stubborn and not listening to the teachings, he would definitely have been angry a long time ago.

But he's different.

As the saying goes: "The master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual." ”

In the old beggar's view, blindly obeying the teacher and denying his own personality and opinions is no different from self-destructing the path of cultivation.

At this time, Lu Ping'an had already come to the vicinity of the entrance of the cave.

He didn't rush into the cave, but turned on the devouring system in advance to probe.

"The phagocytosis system activated, and multiple sources of bloodline from the red-backed macaque were detected.

Bloodline grade: Yellow rank medium grade.

Spirit Beast Core Grade: Yellow Rank Lower Grade.

Anabolic side effects: general

System suggestion: Acquire by devouring as appropriate. ”

With the broadcast of the system's human voice, Lu Ping'an's mind gradually appeared a topographic sand table map outlined by black and white lines, with small light spots on it.

Different from the phagocytosis system in the second stage, the phagocytosis system in the third stage not only expands the range, but also greatly increases the sensitivity.

In addition, in addition to broadcasting the location and distance of the bloodline, the system can also form a more intuitive sand table map in his brain, which is very convenient.

"Five, ten, fifteen......"

Lu Ping'an made a rough estimate, and after getting the result, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

On the sand table diagram formed by the system, there were more than sixty red-backed apes with bloodline reactions!

Even if the old, weak, sick and disabled are removed, at least half of them are still combat-effective.

Moreover, this is only the outer part of the cave, and the actual number of monkeys in the cave must be more than sixty.

Gregarious apes like the red-backed macaque are spirit animals that are very good at cooperating with each other and fighting in teams.

If they cooperate properly, they can even surround and kill large spirit beasts of the Xuan Rank.

Therefore, for Lu Ping'an, the difficulty of fighting this group of bareback macaques is not low.

But fortunately, the old beggar's task was only to get things, not to exterminate the group of bareback macaques.

"Wraith Gauntlet, open!"

Lu Ping'an's mind turned, turned on the additional organ "Phantom Gauntlet", quickly concealed himself, and quietly slipped into the cave.

"I'm going, it's a good thing. ”

After drilling through the hay used to shelter from the wind and rain near the entrance of the cave, the vision suddenly opened up, Lu Ping'an looked around and was surprised to find that this cave was actually arranged like a small palace by this group of bareback macaques.

With the sunlight pouring in from a few cracks in the roof of the cave, when I looked up, I saw that the ground was paved with uniform gravel, with flowers and complex colors.

Above the walls of the cave are rows of closets hewn out with rudimentary tools.

There are all kinds of strange stones, animal bones, as well as pots and pans, vases and porcelain used by humans, etc., which dazzle Lu Ping'an.

It was early in the morning, the sun had not yet set up, and the monkeys were almost still sleeping, and there was constant snoring around them.

As expected, in addition to the more than 60 on the outer side of the cave, there are more than 30 red-backed macaques on the inside side of the cave, total, nearly 100!

Such a large group of monkeys is really rare.

Lu Ping'an stood on tiptoe to avoid too loud footsteps, and then began to search along the cave wall.

Although the old beggar did not tell him what the treasure was, since it was called a "treasure", it must be a magic weapon, and it was not difficult for him to find.

However, when he circled the cave along the cave wall, the devouring system still did not react.

"Strange, how could it not be...... Wait a minute, he's not going to be kidding me, is he?"

At this moment, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but suspect the old beggar.

But when he thought about it, he felt that this was unlikely.

Playing tricks also requires basic routines.

If the old beggar really dares to play with himself as a fool, then he will dare to turn his face and strike, and let the old man earn his own money for drinking.

Lu Ping'an was thinking in his heart, and he was attracted by the high platform in the center of the cave.

If the space inside the cave is larger than 300 feet in radius, then the area around the central platform is the only place that has not been detected.

The high platform in the center of the cave is the throne of the Monkey King, which is made of blue bricks.

As a rough estimate, the height is about three zhang.

On the throne, the bareback macaque was huge, almost twice the size of an ordinary adult of his kind, wearing a crown made of vines and a cloak of red cloth of good fabric, which was quite imposing.

However, according to the detection of the devouring system, in addition to being a little larger, this monkey king is still a mid-grade yellow rank, and its combat effectiveness will not be particularly high.

"Damn, this thing is what he said he was baby?"

This time, Lu Ping'an made a discovery.

The system shows that on the throne, a magic weapon is pressed under the body of the Monkey King.

However, the grade of this magic weapon is only a mere yellow grade.

If this can be considered a treasure, then isn't he rich and rivals the country?

Or is it the old beggar who has a different understanding of the word than him?

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not, anyway, let's take a look at it first.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping'an held his breath, stretched out his hand to hold the surface of the blue brick, fixed his body with a trace amount of spiritual energy, and climbed to the throne.

In the past month, he has refined all the spirit stones he won from the Golden Hook Table.

Coupled with the old farmer's tree planting skills and continuous adoption of aura into his body, his cultivation has now reached the double level of the True Martial Realm.

True martial arts are double, and the strength and flexibility of the meridians of the cultivator's whole body have greatly improved, and the invocation and transformation of spiritual energy are more handy.

And only when most cultivators reach this stage can they have the conditions to practice advanced Five Elements Techniques.

In this way, through the proper control of the output of spiritual energy, Lu Ping'an did not make any sound, and came to the throne in a blink of an eye.

"Oh, it's ......."

Lu Ping'an grabbed the armrest of the throne and flexibly flipped to it.

He looked down and found that the magic weapon detected by the system was inexplicably familiar.

I saw that it was an iron rod the thickness of a rolling pin, about a man's height, with two bright gold ends and a jet-black part in the middle.

Could this be Sun Wukong's wishful golden hoop stick?

"Hehe, it's probably a coincidence. ”

Lu Ping'an was amused by the idea that suddenly came to him, and shook his head with a chuckle.

Call...... Call...... Call......

At this time, the monkey king on the throne was still asleep, and he was making bursts of even breathing.

Lu Ping'an reached out with one hand, ready to perform the method of "controlling things with qi", and lifted the big monkey up so that he could take away the iron rod that was pressed by it.

But at this moment, it seemed that he had a premonition that his treasure was going to be stolen, and the monkey king, who was still asleep a moment ago, suddenly kicked the monkey's leg and opened his eyes in a trance.

Lu Ping'an cursed in his heart, and quickly jumped onto the handrail next to him, while holding his breath, waiting for the Monkey King to fall asleep again.

"Huh, what is it going to do?"

Seeing that the Monkey King picked up the iron rod, and then moved his gaze to where he was, Lu Ping'an suddenly felt a burst of doubt.

No, this time it's just me, and there won't be a situation like last time, where the stealth effect doesn't work.

Lu Ping'an was very sure that the stealth effect of the phantom glove was still there, and it was impossible for this monkey king to see himself!

It's a pity that he overlooked one point, that is, the ability of the Phantom Gauntlet can only affect the vision of the surrounding animals and people.

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean that the other senses can't perceive it.

And in terms of smell, the red-backed macaque is one of the most capable spirit animals in this area.

Therefore, although the intruder could not be seen, the Monkey King had already determined the general location of Lu Ping'an at this time.

Chirp!

With the eager scream of the monkey king, the sleeping bareback macaques in the cave were all woken up in an instant.

For a while, the sound of monkeys screaming around was continuous, and the cave suddenly became a pot of porridge.

And while waking up the monkeys under his command, the Monkey King also played a leading role, and the iron rod in his hand was whirring and windy, impartial, and smashed head-on towards Lu Ping'an.

"Damn, toast and don't eat and drink!"

Lu Ping'an could sense the Monkey King's killing intent towards him, and suddenly his heart was also ruthless, and the five fingers of his left hand quickly became grasped, and he directly took the blow.

"Get out of here for Grandpa!"

Lu Ping'an grabbed the iron rod on the spot, leaned forward, and kicked the Monkey King's torso with a kick.

With his current cultivation, although this leg did not exert all his strength, it was enough to abolish the half-life of this monkey king.

But just when Lu Ping'an was about to kick, the Monkey King also burst out of his potential under the crisis.

I saw that it borrowed an iron rod, and according to the judgment of the direction of the leg wind, it flexibly dodged this leg, and also gave Lu Ping'an a "counterattack"!
