Little Tom couldn't open his mouth with something in his mouth, and he whimpered in his throat with triumph.

Tang Chen's face was different, he squatted down and took out the things in the kitten's mouth, took them to the front to observe, and only after a while did he ask the things to be put down, and whispered: "I thought I was wrong, it turned out to be a jade slip." ”

It was a rectangular jade artifact, about half a foot long, with a few broken spots on the top, but Tang Chen could immediately tell that it was a jade slip. Jade slips are widely used in the cultivation world, mainly used for recording, texts, pictures, and images can be stored in jade slips, and the capacity and reading convenience of jade slips are not accessible in an unusual way, a small jade slip can store a lot of content.

The reading of the jade slip relies on the divine sense, and there are very few monks who have outstanding divine sense talents, but the little divine sense required to read the jade slip is something that all monks can do. This jade slip has a simple shape and is very well polished, but unfortunately because it has been broken, even if there is a record in it, it cannot be read.

There is a jade slip, which means that there are people in this cave, at least there used to be!

"Where did it come from?"

The kitten stretched out one of its front legs and pointed to the depths of the tunnel.

"How did you find out?"

Without waiting for the kitten to answer, Tang Chen had come back to his senses, and said with a dumb smile: "Look at my memory, you are the eye of the night." ”

After the kitten brought back the jade slip, Tang Chen's desire to explore the cave became even more urgent. Telling the kitten not to go deep for the time being, Tang Chen slid directly down from the rattan rope more than thirty meters long, rushed back to the camp, made a few simple torches with wooden sticks and dry branches, and hurried back to the cave. Light a torch with the fireball technique, and the darkness at the corner of the corridor is dispelled by the firelight, and the deep corridor leads to no one.

"Tom. ”

"Meow!"

"Get out ahead!"

"Meow!"

The kitten happily obeyed, and ran leisurely past Tang Chen's feet with small broken steps, and took the lead in entering the road.

Tang Chen followed closely with a torch.

The road is deep, and there is still no end in sight after walking for ten minutes, and there are many turns.

Fortunately, there is no fork in the road, so there is no need to worry about the danger of getting lost for the time being, and the ventilation in the cave is good, and there is no feeling of stuffiness when walking inside.

Maybe it's been in the valley for too long, and suddenly comes to a new environment, and the kitten seems very excited. Its eyes were wide open, and it ran wildly in the corridor with its super night vision. It's just that Tang Chen has been walking unhurriedly, the kitten is quite impatient, lurking in the dark in front of him from time to time, as soon as Tang Chen comes over, he jumps up like a cheetah to launch a surprise attack, pounces on Tang Chen's feet with teeth and claws, pretends to grab a few times, and immediately flees to the front, looking for the next suitable ambush point.

Although the torches were lit, Tang Chen's eyesight was greatly reduced in the dim corridor, and Tang Chen had been paying attention to the four walls of the corridor and the ground, so he had no idea what the kitten was doing. The kitten's speed was excessively strong, so he ambushed Tang Chen one by one, even if Tang Chen released his divine sense, it would be useless, and he was powerless to stop the kitten's teasing behavior. However, when the kitten died, it was accidentally stepped on by Tang Chen, although Tang Chen immediately retracted his strength after discovering it, the kitten still couldn't help but scream.

After stepping on it, Tang Chen thought that the kitten would stop a little, but this guy has a good scar and forgot the pain attribute, the kitten is very fond of this game, or after a while, he will rush out again to show off his might.

The road looks like it has never reached the end, and along the way, nothing has been discovered.

Of course, it is not that there is no gain, Tang Chen can feel that although Yongdao has been going around and around, it is generally on a downward trend. In addition, the tunnel is relatively humid, and the dampness of the cave entrance can also be understood as the original vegetation locks in the water, and now that it has been deep into the tunnel for so long, it is naturally inappropriate to use vegetation to explain the water vapor, Tang Chen speculated that there is likely to be a water source in the depths of the tunnel. This also confirms the conclusion that it is going deep into the belly of the mountain, because the only water source in the valley is the Wang Qingtan.

"Meow!"

Tang Chen's spirits perked up, and the kitten had made a discovery!

Tang Chen walked a few steps quickly, and the kitten was squatting in the middle of the road, and a black thing was in front of it.

Lower the torch and keep your eyes on it.

On the ground is a bronze mirror, the oval mirror lines are simple and bright, the mirror body can see a small amount of bronze, but more black, everywhere is dense black patches, by the air water vapor oxidation is very serious. Tang Chen picked up the bronze mirror from the ground, his divine sense swept by, and he couldn't find a spiritual reaction on the bronze mirror.

Tang Chen didn't need the bronze mirror, and casually threw the bronze mirror back to the ground.

The bronze mirror was also of no use to him, but it was certain whether there had ever been a human presence in the cave.

Patting the kitten's head, Tang Chen got up and continued on the road.

The corridor is still moving forward, the downward trend has slowed down significantly, and the moisture in the air is getting heavier. Tang Chen changed a torch and continued to move forward unhurriedly. He secretly calculated that the distance he had walked should be close to a kilometer, but he still didn't see the end, and the depth of the corridor was amazing.

"Meow!" Tom had another catch.

Tang Chen immediately quickened his pace, and when he turned another corner, he suddenly found that it was no longer pitch black in front of him, and some light was coming. The light was soft and gentle, not like sunlight and firelight, and in Tang Chen's eyes, the faint glow was as bright as a lighthouse, allowing the lost sailors in the sea to find their way.

Tang Chen's face was overjoyed, he had been walking for so long, and he was finally here!

The further you go, the more visible the light becomes.

When Tang Chen saw the light source clearly, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

A copper lamp is obliquely inserted into the stone wall of Yongdao, and in the disc at the top of the copper lamp, it is not a wick and lamp oil, but a night pearl with a dragon's eye. The bright light I saw in the distance earlier was the night pearl.

Night pearls usually do not contain spiritual powers, and their greatest value is mainly used for decoration. In the eyes of the monks, things that have nothing to do with cultivation are basically no different from garbage, and except for the female monks who love beauty, few monks will deliberately accept them.

Of course, Tang Chen was an exception.

Although he has been diligent in cultivation for a period of time recently, he was only forced by the environment, and he had to desperately improve his strength in order to get out of trouble as soon as possible, but he has not changed in his bones, and he is still the foodie who loves life. Judging from the eyes he has cultivated in two trade fairs, this night pearl is impeccable in size and condition, and it can be sold for a good price, and if he finds a good buyer, it should be easy to solve a year's supply.

Tang Chen suppressed the urge to put the Night Pearl into the Qiankun bag, and beckoned the kitten to continue walking forward.

Trapped in the Jedi for so long, Tang Chen's mentality has calmed down a lot, the most urgent thing in front of him is to find a way out, if he can't find a way out, he can only wait for death in this valley, no matter how valuable things are, they will rot in his hands. The ladder project was difficult, and he hoped that the cave would surprise him.

The appearance of the Night Pearl Lighting indicates that he is close to the core area, and he decides to take a look first.

The pearls of the night guided the direction, and Tang Chen simply extinguished the torches.

He soon came to the end of the corridor, which was a half-hidden stone door.

Pushing open the stone door, the eyes suddenly opened up.
