Chapter 10: The Underground Stone Chamber
After the white-eyed wolf stopped moving completely, Jin Quan did not immediately lean out, he still cautiously hid behind the big tree and did not move. It wasn't until he waited for another pillar of incense that his physical strength had almost recovered, and then the golden spring slowly came out from behind the tree.
The former overlord of the mountainous area outside Tiannan Mountain was lying on the spot like this, and even his fur seemed to have lost its former luster. Jin Quan carefully retrieved his long sword, slowly circled the white-eyed wolf twice, and then suddenly burst out from behind and slashed at the white-eyed wolf's neck.
After a "snort", a big wolf head flew up, and blood splattered everywhere.
It wasn't until this moment that Jin Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alas!"
Jin Quan sighed lightly and silently stepped forward to withdraw the amethyst jade. After shaking his hand, the three-inch sharp blade that was originally stained with blood and brains instantly returned to its previous dazzling purple color, and when it looked in the sunlight, this sharp blade forged out of nowhere exuded a charming luster like a peerless amethyst.
"It seems that the reason why this purple flute is called amethyst jade is probably because of this amethyst-like three-inch sharp blade. After carefully examining the amethyst jade, Jin Quan suddenly thought of such a question. This was the first time he had used amethyst jade since he got it. The feeling is much more direct than Song Fuzi's introduction.
After working hard for several days and nights in a row, Jin Quan finally succeeded in killing this cunning white-eyed wolf, and suddenly felt that he did not feel particularly happy in his heart, but felt a little happy. After muttering for a long time and collecting his mood for a while, Jin Quan turned and looked at the inconspicuous cave that was half a man high, with a slight hesitation in his eyes.
"Do you want to go deep into this wolf's den?" At this time, Jin Quan's heart was very hesitant.
Although until now, he still couldn't clearly distinguish what level of fierce beast this white-eyed wolf was. But if he only relied on the individual strength of various fierce beasts to divide and judge, Jin Quan understood that this white-eyed wolf was definitely not comparable to those ordinary fierce beasts. The reason why he was able to kill it so smoothly this time was entirely due to the white-eyed wolf's full preparation, coupled with various factors such as the wolf's strength being greatly reduced under the injury.
It wasn't until a long time later that Jin Quan, who had truly become an immortal cultivator, recalled today's events and realized that this white-eyed wolf was actually a quasi-demon beast. In terms of its strength, it was only the last half step away from being able to break away from the category of fierce beasts and become a true first-order primary demon beast.
However, it is precisely for this reason that Jin Quan especially wants to go into the wolf's den to explore. According to common sense, powerful beasts like to choose a good nest. There may be some kind of genius treasure in this good place, or there may be some other reason. Now, the fact that this overlord-level white-eyed wolf actually chose his lair in such a great cave certainly made Jin Quan curious. What's more, Master Song also once reminded that if you are lucky enough to kill a powerful beast during hunting, you must not forget to go to its lair to explore. Because the more powerful the beast, the more likely it is that unexpected treasures will appear in its lair.
In this way, Jin Quan lingered outside this cave for a long time. It wasn't until the sun was about to set that I finally made up my mind.
"Anyway, the white-eyed wolf is dead, as long as I am careful, it should be fine! Besides, it won't take much time to go in and explore, and if I can really find any treasures, wouldn't it be a big profit?"
The entrance to the wolf's den was too small, and the long sword was useless. So Jin Quan tied the long sword firmly behind his back, grabbed the amethyst jade with one hand, and leaned over to drill into it.
The cavern was low, and was littered with claw marks. After a little comparison, Jin Quan understood that this was a mark dug up by the claws of a white-eyed wolf. Jin Quan, who was already five feet tall, could only bend his waist and slowly move forward in a half-squatting position. However, when he slowly entered the wolf's den, he found that the passage in front of him suddenly opened up. At this time, the passage is seven or eight feet high, and even if two adults are in parallel, it will not feel too crowded. At this point, Jinquan was able to walk upright.
Looking at the two completely different passages in front and back, Jin Quan's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Even the most sluggish person could have noticed that the second half of the passage, which was about seven feet high, could never have been dug by a ferocious beast like the white-eyed wolf. This unexpected discovery made Jin Quan secretly excited, and he continued to walk forward cautiously with the faint purple glow emitted by the amethyst jade.
After walking along this downward sloping passage for more than a hundred feet, a closed stone gate suddenly appeared in front of him. Jin Quan stepped forward and pushed it, and found that this stone door was extremely thick, and it was not something he could open at all. However, this did not bother him, because there was a narrow cave on the side of the stone gate, Jin Quan looked down, the walls of this cave that was only half a person high were also covered with clear claw marks, and from the surrounding soil, it was still very fresh, indicating that this passage was also dug by this white-eyed wolf in the near future.
After smiling slightly, Jin Quan didn't care to drill into it again.
After about a pillar of incense, a faint white light faintly shone from a corner in front of me, and this half-human-high passage was finally coming to an end!
Using his hands and feet, he quickly completed the last section of the passage. At the entrance is a small stone chamber about five zhang square. In the center of the top of the wall is a huge night pearl, and the faint light illuminates the entire stone room.
"I don't know which predecessor would build such a cave in such a deep underground. In the end, it was occupied by a white-eyed wolf and a magpie's nest dove. It's weird. ”
After looking at it several times and making sure that there was no danger, Jin Quan jumped into the stone chamber with one jump.
There was only a night pearl at the top, and Jinquan didn't have any greed. The walls were littered with deep scars, and it was impossible to tell what they were for a moment. As for the ground, it was covered with a thick layer of soft weeds, and it was strewn with white bones. Jin Quan distinguished, the vast majority of the white bones were of various beasts. Another nearly intact human skeleton was piled up in an inconspicuous place. Other than that, he didn't even find anything good.
"It's really strange, there aren't any valuable medicinal herbs and treasures here, how could this white-eyed wolf spend a lot of effort digging through this stone chamber?" After searching the entire stone chamber, Jin Quan thought silently.
The white-eyed wolf, a fierce beast that already has a certain amount of intelligence, would never do these things for no reason, and since it was willing to spend so much effort digging through this stone chamber with its claws, it must have asked for something. Unrelentingly, Jin Quan began to look for it again.
This time, he went straight to a thorough search.
All the weeds were piled up on one side by him, and all kinds of animal bones were thrown to the other side one by one, and the complete human bones were left in place without moving. When all this was done, Jin Quan drew his long sword and kept beating it on the ground and walls, and now he could only use such a stupid method as a last resort.
