Chapter 196: An Amazing Discovery!
"Helian, what treasure do you say is in that treasure! If there is really a treasure, can we get it smoothly?", beside a small bonfire, Lan Youruo stared blankly at the constantly beating flames, and the wooden stick in his hand was drawn at will, looking absent-minded.
About five or six meters away from this fire, a huge bonfire several times larger was burning, and the fiery angry ape with saliva constantly dripping from the corners of his mouth shook the fine wood in his huge palm with great interest, and an unknown soul beast was wearing on the fine wood, and the sound of sizzling was accompanied by a pungent aroma, which made people have an appetite when they smelled it.
"Who knows, but looking at the reaction of the Nine Treasure Turtle, it seems that the treasure has an inexplicable connection with it, although I don't know what this connection is, but since we have come here, we have no reason to turn around and go back! No matter what, we have to persevere to the end!", Helianor frowned tightly, for some reason, the closer he got to the area where the cross sign was, the more uneasy he became.
Although he coveted the unknown treasure very much, Helian Nuo was still self-aware, he knew that with his own humble strength, it was a bit too risky to walk in the center of this crisis-ridden Demon Moon Forest, not to mention Lan Youruo, until today he has not reached the soul guard level, and the Furious Ape is not weak, although it is nominally a seventh-order, but when angry, his strength can almost compete with the first-order soul beast, but the crux of the problem is that once this big guy is angry, he is not a friend or foe.
If it weren't for the fact that Jiubao showed an extremely strong interest in that treasure, Helianor really had plans to turn around and return!
You must know that this place is not comparable to where Helianor has lived for nine years, because of the existence of the holy beast Heavenly Wolf, there are very few high-level soul beasts within a radius of a hundred miles, Helianno is there to play there without any danger, but this is a completely strange place, according to the law of soul beast life, the closer to the center of the forest, the more likely it is to appear powerful soul beasts, which undoubtedly adds a lot of risks to the treasure hunting situation that is not very optimistic.
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time, it's really not okay to let the big guy take us back, anyway, we are not determined to get that treasure!", Lan Youruo obviously didn't notice that his indifferent words attracted a burst of eyes from the Nine Treasure Turtle.
Helianor nodded when he heard this, indeed, although Jiubao was extremely interested in that treasure, due to the limitation of strength, he was not optimistic about the outcome of this trip, and when necessary, for the sake of his own life and Lan Youruo's life, Helianor would choose to leave, but when he became stronger, he would definitely come again!
Seeing that Helenor's attitude was a little shaken, Jiubao was obviously a little disappointed, and it actually crawled up on its own regardless of it, and hurried in the direction where the cross mark was.
"Alas, Jiubao, let's hurry when it dawns tomorrow!", Helianor was in a hurry when he saw this, and hurriedly took a few steps to catch Jiubao back, the night of the Demon Moon Forest is definitely more terrifying than the day.
Who knew that Jiubao, who had always been obedient, stubbornly rejected Helenor's suggestion this time, and it gently bit Helenor's hand, and then took the opportunity to break free and crawl towards the place where the cross mark was located again.
"It seems that this guy is determined to get the treasure!Forget it, put out the bonfire, and we'll leave immediately!", looking at a small tooth mark bitten out by Jiubao in his hand, Helianno was ruthless, kicked up the dust to extinguish the bonfire, and then pulled Lan Youruo to chase after Jiubao.
"Huh...... Ho ho!", seeing a few people set off one after another, the fiery furious ape was in a hurry, its food had not yet been baked, so it naturally didn't want to rush away hungry immediately, but looking at Jiubao's resolute appearance, things didn't seem to have any room to turn around, looked down and thought about it, it simply put the thin wood that was still smoking and the half-cooked soul beast roasted on it on its shoulder, and took a few steps with a bang, put Heliannuo, Lan Youruo and Jiubao on the other shoulder, and ran in stride.
Helianor could feel that Jiubao was obviously a little dissatisfied with himself, as if he was complaining about his delay, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, Helianor grabbed Jiubao in his hand, and gently touched its little black head, which was regarded as a compromise for himself.
The speed of the fiery angry ape was already very fast, this time it took three or four hours to rush to finish the previous plan to take half a day to complete the journey, in front of a huge cave five or six meters high, the angry ape stopped, according to the record of the map, this is the place recorded by the cross sign!
"What should we do?Shall we go in now?I'm afraid that the big man can't get in?", standing in front of the huge hole, Lan Youruo looked at the fiery furious ape that was nearly ten meters tall.
"Huh...... Ho!", the angry ape patted his chest vigorously, and then put his two forelimbs on the ground, not to mention, after switching to four-legged walking, its height could barely enter the cave!
"Let's go, Youruo, you have to follow me firmly, don't get lost! Big man, you are at the back, I'll open the way in front!", Helianor simply made a torch and placed the Nine Treasure Turtle on his shoulder.
After entering the cave according to the formation arranged by Helenor, the burning torches illuminated the dark cave extremely brightly, for some reason, there was an unpleasant ** smell in the cave, although it was not very strong, but it was also smoked Lan Youruo kept retching, Helenno couldn't bear it when he saw this, and hurriedly took out a fragrant medicinal herb from the heaven-given space, and asked Lan Youruo to put it under his nose.
Although the entrance of this cave is small, the space inside is extremely spacious, even the fire ape can stand completely, the cave does not seem to be made of stones, there are no traces of weeds and dirt, it looks very neat, but there is no sign of human activity.
"What the hell is this place?", Helenor stomped hard, and a dull echo echoed through the cavern, making the already mysterious cave seem a little eerie.
"Helian ...... Why don't we wait until dawn to come back, here...... It's a little scary here!", Lan Youruo's voice trembled a little, she has been pampered since she was a child, if it weren't for the appearance of Helianor, she might never leave the small Meteorite City in this life, although she has shown a strong side these days, but the nature of women is still weak, and in the face of such a gloomy environment, she has long been frightened.
"Look at the airtight appearance of this cave, I'm afraid it won't be very bright during the day, let's just have the courage to explore it to the end, no matter what, we can't enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed!", Helianno's courage is not small, when he was in the depths of the demon moon, he saw all kinds of strange places, this small dark cave is really nothing in his opinion.
Lan Youruo nodded, and pressed her body tightly against Helenor's back.
Feeling the slight tremor of the woman behind him, Heliano's heart moved, and he involuntarily stretched out a hand and gently held Lan Youruo's small hand, Lan Youruo was obviously shocked, but he didn't withdraw his hand.
In such an eerie and unknown environment, a generous palm with temperature can give Lan Youruo not only heat, but also a sense of security.
With the echo of footsteps, Helianor pulled Lan Youruo slowly, strangely enough, there was no dirt, no grass, no gravel, not even the fallen leaves and stagnant water that could be seen everywhere in the forest, everything seemed so abnormal, and there was a strange aura everywhere.
After slowly going deeper into the cave, the unpleasant smell is getting stronger and stronger, even the fragrance of the medicinal herbs can't stop the invasion of the ** smell, Lan Youruo blocked her nostrils with a strip of cloth, and breathed hard with her mouth open, perhaps because she adapted to the atmosphere in the cave, and now her expression has become much more comfortable.
To Helenor's surprise, Jiubao, who was clamoring to come here, was very quiet at the moment, and even had a strange look of sadness, as if he was suffering some great pain, and seemed to be mourning something.
"Nine Treasures, this is the place recorded in the cross mark on the map, where is the thing you want?", seeing that this huge cave seemed to never end, Helianor reluctantly put Nine Treasures on the ground and let it find its own way.
After Jiubao was put on the ground, he did not walk immediately, but pressed his head tightly to the ground, closed his eyes slightly and was silent for a long time, looking at its pious expression, Helianor and Lan Youruo even felt a faint sadness slowly rise in their hearts.
"Why...... Why do I feel uncomfortable when I see Jiubao like this?", Lan Youruo's eyes flashed with tears, and she was almost about to cry.
"I also feel this way, the Nine Treasure Turtle has been called the Venerable of Soul Beasts, and it really has enough truth to be able to affect the emotions of everyone around it, this ability is really terrifying!", Helianno was surprised to find that the sturdy Flame Fury Ape had already sat cross-legged on the ground at some point, his huge head was firmly tied to the ground, and his two big eyes fluttered and fell huge teardrops, obviously sad to the extreme.
"I think, I know what this cave is!", Helenor touched the cave walls with both hands, his face full of complicated expressions.
"What, what kind of place is this cave?", Lan Youruo looked blankly at the angry ape crying bitterly, and her heart was empty.
"This cave is a dead Nine Treasure Turtle!"
