Chapter 4: Cave Adventures
I don't know how much time has passed, maybe a day has passed, or maybe it's just a few hours.
In the distance, a babbling stream crashed against the rocks, making a crackling sound and splashing waves.
The setting is beautiful.
And Ye Yu lay down on a pile of grass not far away, and his sanity gradually regained his clarity.
"Where am I?" Ye Yu coughed a few times in a muffled voice, and then sprayed a few mouthfuls of bright red blood on the ground together.
Then he sat up slowly with his chest clutched, wiped all the blood from the corners of his mouth with the sleeve of his clothes, and waited until his eyes could adjust to the surrounding light, only to realize that he had fallen into a bush.
Was this a dream? He looked up at the sky.
Looking through the dense gaps in the canopy, a few ancient trees grow proudly on the steep mountain wall, and the exposed black roots are tightly entangled in the rocks, and through the infinite white mist, the vague outline of the canyon can be faintly seen.
Ye Yu endured the severe pain and stood up cautiously, and reached out to press every part of his body.
Although there was great pain in every part of the body, especially in the chest, it was no big deal.
He clearly remembered in his mind that he had met Ye Wu's gang, and in order to protect his dignity, he could only jump off the cliff.
"I didn't even die?" Ye Yu couldn't help muttering in his heart, and there were still dried blood stains left by the previous fierce fight on the placket of his clothes, proving that all this was not an illusion, it had all happened.
Looking around again, he suddenly realized that the forests here were extremely dense, forming a natural green bed to catch him steadily.
Looking at the brittle branches falling all over the ground, Ye Yu felt a sense of pleasure in his heart for the rest of his life. I didn't fall to my death from the top of such a high cliff, and my life was hard enough.
"Ye Wu, you wait for me! I will make you pay for your blood debt!" Ye Yu's eyes were cold in vain, and he looked up to the sky and roared.
This time he and Ye Wu's Liangzi are completely knotted, and he will definitely not be like this before, but will only choose to be indifferent and hold it in his heart, but after experiencing the moment of life and death before, Ye Yu knew in his heart that blind tolerance is just a manifestation of weakness and incompetence, so from now on, if someone offends me, I will be a hundred times guilty!
Ye Yu sat cross-legged in place, his eyes slightly closed, and his breathing gradually became smoother. There was still some residual medicinal power of yesterday's Jade Spirit Frost in his body, which helped him to continuously recover his strength.
A stick of incense time passes.
He let out a deep breath of turbidity, his body almost recovering, and then he looked up to take a closer look at the terrain around him.
"Forget it, take one step at a time, find the way and talk about it. There were trees everywhere in the vicinity, and there was nothing to be seen, so Ye Yu decisively decided to explore the way forward......
After walking for more than ten minutes, the surroundings were still wrapped in rich greenery.
"There seems to be a cave in front of it. Ye Yu finally made a discovery, and a valley appeared not far from him.
The entrance to the valley is extremely hidden, and the branches and vines that hide it are difficult to find unless you go out of your way to search for them.
Ye Yu walked into the cave without hesitation, the dark passage was extremely narrow, and a few protruding earth and stones would often reach Ye Yu's right arm or knee.
"What's that?" At the end of the passage in the distance, a few rays of fire attracted Ye Yu's attention. The eerie silence made him shiver, and after a little hesitation, he quickened his pace and continued on his way.
In such a dead and silent environment, Ye Yu felt that the temperature around him was starting to get colder.
Suddenly, he stopped, and a huge empty stone chamber in front of him was completely exposed, two luminous stones of different shapes and shining stones hung high on the dome of the stone chamber, and under the light of the faint halo, the complex lines engraved on the surrounding stone walls could be seen clearly, and finally converged to form a pattern.
In the center of the stone chamber, a simple and smooth boulder sank deep into the earth, and a terrifying skeleton sat on it, with no flesh and blood all over its body, and a few white bones on its shoulders and neck had rotted and weathered because of too much time.
On the stone, there are a few lines of deep letters:
"I have left the clan for twenty years, and I have been all over the world for sixty years, and I am lucky not to die under the pursuit of the enemy, and I have obtained the Supreme Treasure Divine Ring in the secret realm, and I have broken through the war king in a hundred years. ”
"Unexpectedly, this matter was known to several of my fellow disciples, and they united with my enemies to put me to death, although they escaped from danger, but their life was exhausted, and they only wanted to get this thing from those who were destined to get it, and not let such strange things fall into the hands of the wicked......"
On the three remaining finger bones of the corpse's right hand, a delicate silver-white ring was placed on it.
After Ye Yu finished reading it, his mouth was as big as a fist, and his heart kept rising and falling.
This turned out to be a treasure left by a hidden master, and it was also a powerhouse who was at least at the level of a war king, which was really lucky.
The entire continent is built on the basis of the True Yuan.
True Yuan is hidden in every corner of heaven and earth, although it cannot be seen with the naked eye, but every cultivator knows that True Yuan exists all the time, running through their bloodline and every cell. After breaking through the pinnacle of the nine-stage training body, each cultivator can begin to control the use of the True Yuan, and continue to continuously enhance their level by improving their understanding of the True Yuan, and the initial realm of cultivation is a warrior.
After the warriors, there are also war masters, war spirits, war spirits, war clans, war kings, war emperors, war honors, and war emperors.
Except for the Battle Emperor, each realm, like the training body, was divided into nine small realms.
Over the past tens of millions of years, Zhenyuan has evolved to the pinnacle with the efforts of countless generations of people on this continent, and if he wants to become a strong man on this continent, the only way to become stronger is to keep getting stronger, and there is no other shortcut to replace it.
Unexpectedly, a top powerhouse who was as strong as a war king finally died at the hands of his senior brothers, and Ye Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for this senior.
"Senior's great grace, Ye Yu is toothless and unforgettable, I will accept this [God Ring] unceremoniously. Ye Yu knelt down in front of the dead corpse and gave him three big salutes.
Immediately, Ye Yu stepped forward and took off the ring left on the white bones of the dead corpse.
"Come to think of it, it's the Avatar Ring mentioned by this senior. He played with it, and it was natural that a small ring could be said to be a treasure.
When he looked closely, he found that the workmanship of the ring was extremely exquisite, and although the years had left a lot of dull colors on it, several small stones of irregular shapes were attached to it, shining and looking extraordinarily luxurious.
"After so many years, the old man finally waited for someone to come in. A voice suddenly echoed in the stone room, and with the dead corpse in front of him, this strange feeling instantly made every hair on Ye Yu's back stand upside down.
"Who is it?" Ye Yu immediately took a step back, his eyes sweeping to every corner of the stone room.
"You took my things and had the audacity to ask who I am?"
Ye Yu's whole body shook wildly, and his body fell to the ground.
What are you kidding, there is only one dead body left here except for himself, could it be that he has encountered a ghost?
"Little baby, are you scared like this?" The Avatar Ring in his hand suddenly flashed with essence, and a pale, translucent image of an old man suddenly burst out of the ring and was suspended in mid-air.
The old man looked at Ye Yu in front of him, whose eyes were about to fall, and there was an idle smile on both sides of his cheeks, but with a cunning that people couldn't see through.
"Are you a human or a ghost, why can you float in the air?"
"You stinky boy, you took my things, and you dare to question me in front of me, you are the first. ”
Ye Yu looked at the old man, and his face was full of astonishment.
"This Avatar Ring is yours?"
"That's right, I'm just a soul body that my original owner placed on this ring. The old man pouted, looking very old. , as if a gust of wind can blow it away.
A remnant of the soul before death?
Ye Yu's expression gradually changed from the original shock to ecstasy, how strong must this person be to immortalize his soul after death and continue to live forever in the world.
"The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" Without saying a word, Ye Yu immediately bowed down and bowed respectfully to the old man.
It is his opportunity to meet this peerless powerhouse, and he must not miss it.
The old man stroked his white beard, and his words were obviously softened a lot, "You baby is very clever, since you have done the apprenticeship ceremony, I will also accept your apprentice."
"It's the master," Ye Yu straightened up, his face full of excitement, "Is what is written on the stone true?
The old man narrowed his eyes, and after a while, he sighed deeply, "It's been too long, and I can't remember a lot of things, but that line should have been written by me, and at that time, I was chased and killed by several enemies, and I was forced to use a secret technique to place a part of my soul on this ring......"
Ye Yu was speechless for a while, and he also knew that he was talking too much, and there must be many things behind him that he didn't want to mention.
"However, how come you only have the realm of the third stage of physical training, seeing that you are at least fifteen or sixteen years old at this age, this stage is the easiest time to improve your level. ”
Hearing this, Ye Yu couldn't help but blush his cheeks.
"I just broke through last month," Ye Yu smiled bitterly, Xuan Lao's words just hit his sore spot, "Since I was a child, I have only been bullied by other peers, because I can't beat others...... In this way, I fell into the valley and my life hung by a thread, but I discovered this cave. ”
"That sounds like this, you're not the same as an ordinary teenager," the old man groaned after listening to Ye Yu's series of growth stories. After a while, he raised his head again, his expression seemed to be reluctant, but there was a bit of a conspiracy to succeed, "I didn't expect that in the end, this strange thing was cheaply given to a little ghost." ”
"What strange thing?"
"It's the one you have in your hand - the Ring of Avatars!"
