Chapter 32: The Cave
The "Ice Heart Tears" exuded an icy cold air, Ling Yifeng put it into the container that had been prepared in the ring, this container can also isolate the temperature of the outside world, I heard that the "Ice Heart Tears" is very afraid of high temperatures, and a little heat can make it wither quickly, so Ling Yifeng prepared this container early, but I didn't expect it to come in handy!
"I know it's all your credit!" Ling Yifeng smiled and touched the head of Huo Aya on his shoulder, if it weren't for it, this bargain would have really been missed!
However, Ling Yifeng felt a little entangled, the time limit of the "Ice Heart Tears" task is half a year, and if he submits the task beyond the time, it will not be judged to be completed, let alone get a bounty. With less than three months left before the deadline to submit his assignment, he doesn't want to leave here so early!
Let's take a look as we go, maybe someone has already found other "Ice Heart Tears", and maybe they've already submitted the task.
"Are you hungry? Let's go find something to eat now!" Seeing Huo Aya get into his arms from his shoulder, and then his eyes narrowed and he was about to fall asleep, Ling Yifeng couldn't help but shake his head slightly and smile bitterly.
This guy hasn't moved much since he's been lying on his shoulder, so how can he act more tired than himself?
Ling Yifeng quickly shuttled between the trees, and at the same time spread his spiritual mind to pay attention to these invisible locations in the grass and under the bushes, not only to guard against the attack of demonic beasts, but also to find prey that could be captured.
Suddenly, there seemed to be movement in the grass in front of him, Ling Yifeng slowed down and looked over there, only to see a few hares playing and playing.
Today's dinner has come to an end, the corners of Ling Yifeng's mouth rose slightly, and he was about to sneak over quietly. Suddenly, Huo Aya in his arms suddenly opened his eyes, and Ling Yifeng only saw a red shadow flickering in front of him, and the four rabbits all fell to the ground before they could react.
"Heh, this guy is really fast!" Ling Yifeng couldn't help but secretly admire, Huo Aya's current spiritual power strength was comparable to that of an eighth-layer spiritual power human being, but its speed was indeed beyond Ling Yifeng's reach!
Each of the four hares had a bite mark on their necks, and they fell to the ground almost at the same time, which means that Aya killed all four hares at the same time in a very short instant!
In Ling Yifeng's stunned kung fu, Huo Aya slowly dragged Ling Yifeng with the ears of the four hares, it looked up at Ling Yifeng with its big eyes open, and its big fluffy tail kept shaking at him, as if it was asking for credit!
Ling Yifeng picked up the four hares and put them all into the ring, he looked at Huo Aya and smiled: "Let's find a place to roast rabbits for you to eat!"
Huo Aya shook her head in satisfaction, jumped into Ling Yifeng's arms and fell asleep again.
Looking up at the sky, it was already dusk, the sun was about to set, Ling Yifeng quickened his pace and rushed forward, he had to find a safe shelter before dark, now there were many more demonic beasts in this place, if he didn't find a suitable hiding place before dark, there would be a high chance of being attacked by demonic beasts.
A mountain wall appeared in front of him, and Ling Yifeng was overjoyed, it was easiest to find a suitable cave on a mountain wall like this, and this kind of cave was the preferred safe shelter in this forest.
Approaching the mountain wall, Ling Yifeng glanced up and saw that the entire mountain wall was bare, and there were large black spots on the rocks above, as if they had been burned. The walls of the mountain were surrounded by lush trees, and the fire seemed to have only burned this part of the mountain.
But why didn't the fire spread to the surrounding areas? Ling Yifeng couldn't understand that this mountain wall should have been lush and green before, but after a fire, it became a single grass.
Suddenly, Ling Yifeng thought of a possibility, he recalled the scene where the fireball that Huo Aya spewed out in the cave after devouring the demon core, burning the rock on the roof of the cave to pitch black! Could it be that this was also caused by this?
Looking at this mountain wall with a length and width of more than 100 zhang, Ling Yifeng couldn't help but shudder slightly, how powerful spiritual power can this be to cause such a wide range of high temperatures to burn the mountain wall to the ground!
Finally, a black cave was found halfway up the mountain, but Ling Yifeng hesitated slightly, he didn't know if it was a wise move to choose to spend the night here. But he turned his head to look into the distance, the afterglow of the setting sun had already plated the mountain peaks with a layer of gold, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of bitterness, it seems that he can only be here tonight!
The mountain wall is not steep, and Ling Yifeng climbed it very easily. The entrance to the cave is narrow and deep, the inside of the cave is the same as the outside of the cave, there is no half of life, it seems that the fire has burned the inside of the cave cleanly, you can see from the dark marks on the inner wall of the cave!
Lighting a torch and throwing it into the hole, the firelight reflected the entire cave, except that the long passage at the entrance of the cave was slightly narrower, which could only accommodate Ling Yifeng alone, but there was a hole in the cave, and the torches on the ground could not illuminate the entire cave.
There are great traces of artificial excavation at this glance, and the narrow entrance of the cave is to prevent huge monsters from easily breaking in, and the spacious space in the cave is also for living comfortably!
Sure enough, when Ling Yifeng walked into the cave, he saw a stone table in the middle of the cave, and there were only two stone benches sitting opposite each other next to the stone table, and there was actually a stone bed on the side of the mountain wall!
All this indicates that someone has lived here for a long time, but the owner has been driving for a long time, because Ling Yifeng found that on the inner wall of the cave, there are several small crystal stones hanging on each side, which should be moonstones that can emit light on their own. Ling Yifeng took a piece and rubbed it gently in his hand, it was already dim, there was no trace of light, it should have been extinguished for a long time.
This kind of moonstone is not cheap in the market, and generally only very wealthy nobles can afford it, and the life of this kind of moonstone is generally very long, and there is no problem with it for more than ten years or even decades.
After inspecting the cave, Ling Yifeng sat on the stone bench, and there were criss-crossing lines on the table with a knife, nineteen vertically and horizontally, Ling Yifeng recognized that this was a black and white chessboard, and it seemed that the previous owner was a game enthusiast. It's just that the time is too long, the notches on the chessboard have been very light, and not a single chess piece has been seen.
put the fire down and Ling Yifeng went out to prepare firewood for the barbecue.
It was dark outside the cave, and the fire inside the cave was bright, and after eating and drinking, Huo Aya found a corner and fell asleep with satisfaction. Ling Yifeng glanced at it, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, this guy seems to have become very lethargic recently, he hasn't moved twice a day, but his sleep time is getting longer and longer. But the most annoying thing is that just by sleeping, its spiritual power will increase. Ling Yifeng cultivated tirelessly every day, watching it improve its spiritual power as long as he slept and devoured the demon core, and he was very envious.
After a day of running, Ling Yifeng's tiredness came up, and he lay on the stone table and soon fell asleep.
