Chapter 82 The Monster’s Cave
"The smell of blood here is too strong. Let's dig up some monster materials and leave immediately." Di Jiu was also a little excited. He just tried his best to follow his own ideas, but he didn't expect to succeed.
"Squad leader, how do you know that this horned lion monster will not attack you when you sneak attack with a knife on that crocodile monster?" Pang Fan also calmed down from the excitement at this moment, and his thinking became clearer. The title changed from boss to squad leader.
Before Di Jiu could answer, He Tai said, "Idiot, you use your words instead of your hands."
"I said it's right to take action. That lion beast also has four sharp claws. Aren't those also its hands?"
Even if he was not in the same class as Pang Fan, he knew all about Pang Fan's petty problems. He was too lazy to continue arguing with Pang Fan and explained, "If a guy who is better than you teaches you a lesson, a person comes to help you teach that guy a lesson." Guy, do you continue to attack the powerful guy, or do you turn around and attack the guy who helped you?"
"I understand when you put it like that. The lion monster seems to have some intelligence. It knows that the squad leader is helping it." Pang Fan nodded, agreeing with He Tai's explanation.
He Tai said speechlessly, "Even if there is no intelligence, animal instinct will not immediately attack the person who helps it."
Di Jiu was too lazy to chat with these two guys, so he started digging the two horns of the lion monster. The Jade Slip of Cultivation introduced that monster material is one of the very important materials for refining weapons.
The two horns of this lion beast were more than a foot long and looked like ox horns. However, Di Jiu's knife slashed them casually and there were no white marks on them. He knew they were good things.
Pang Fan endured the bloodshed before he took out the long knife inserted in the crocodile monster's mouth. This was his precious sword. After pulling it out, he wiped the blood on it vigorously.
"Squad leader, what should we do with this crocodile monster?" Seeing that Di Jiu had dug off the two horns of the horned lion monster, He Tai pointed at the huge armored crocodile monster.
"The most valuable thing about this crocodile monster is probably its scales. Let's dig them up." After Di Jiu finished speaking, he had already removed the two fangs of the horned lion monster.
He Tai and Pang Fan began to dig out the scales. Each of these scales was one foot in diameter and heavy in their hands.
There were three largest pieces on the back of the crocodile monster. After the three of them dug one piece each, Pang Fan stopped digging. "It's too tiring, and this thing is too heavy. I can't carry it if I dig too much."
"How about we bury these two monsters here and get them again when we want in the future?" He Tai suggested.
Di Jiu immediately agreed with this opinion. With the strength of the three of them, they could dig holes very quickly.
Half an hour later, the three of them buried both monsters.
Apart from some mess, the bloody atmosphere at the scene was much lighter.
"Squad leader, where are we going now?" At this moment, He Tai's admiration for Di Jiu was deep in his bones.
Pang Fan walked to the side holding the knife and said somewhat flatteringly, "Squad leader, that knife of yours was really scary and a bit cool. It's really cool. Can you teach me?"
After hearing Pang Fan's words, He Tai also forgot about his previous question and looked at Di Jiu eagerly. Di Jiu's knife strike just now made them feel that the temperature around them had turned cold. He could not even think of resisting or avoiding the killing force.
He Tai guessed that even Dean Wu Cheng would not be able to avoid Di Jiu's sword.
As for who is more powerful, Di Jiu or Dean Wu Cheng, He Tai doesn't have to think about it at all. He thinks that Di Jiu must be the more powerful one. Not only because the two monster beasts were fighting for territory, Dean Wu Cheng chose to escape, but Di Jiu chose to come over, but more importantly, it was Di Jiu's sword. That sword is not only stunningly handsome, but also truly powerful.
Di Jiu said without hesitation, "Stop dreaming. You won't be able to learn that one sword strike even if I teach it to you. When I have free time, I will teach you the other two sword strikes. Also, don't call me monitor. I'm not one of you." Students in the elite class, I just borrowed your elite class to come here."
Di Jiu was not talking nonsense. The Fourth Wind Xiao Dao was an epiphany he had gained during his cultivation. It was only through his cultivation and understanding of Di's Seven Swords that he came to this epiphany. Di Jiu even suspected that the reason why he had an epiphany was related to the stone on his chest.
This kind of sword technique can no longer be taught to others. Even he himself can only understand it so far.
"Okay, I know the squad leader... Brother Ninth will not dislike me." Pang Fan clapped the knife in his hand, said proudly, and changed his title in the blink of an eye. He had always regarded Di Jiu as his younger brother before, but now he has consciously reduced himself to the younger brother.
For him now, as long as it is something taught by Di Jiu, it must be top quality.
"These two monster beasts came here before to fight for territory. We have killed these two monster beasts. Now we can go and see the territory they fought for." Di Jiu pointed to the traces along the way.
Now Pang Fan and He Tai naturally listen to Di Jiu.
…
The mess of the two monster beasts fighting was very eye-catching. The three of them walked all the way and arrived at the foot of a cliff in just over half an hour.
It's said to be a cliff, but it's actually a huge boulder that looks like it's been cut with a knife. Standing under the boulder and looking up, the three of them seemed to be standing at the foot of a cliff.
This boulder is nearly several thousand meters long and as high as a mountain peak.
At the foot of the boulder was a flat open space. There was not even a blade of grass in the middle of the open space. The three of them could imagine that this was where one of the monsters was active.
"I don't know if this is the home of the crocodile-like monster or the horned lion monster." Pang Fan said with a smile.
Thinking that the three of them actually found a monster's cave, Pang Fan felt extremely proud.
"Does the monster usually sleep in this open area? That's true. This place looks like a huge football field." He Tai stepped on the ground with his feet.
"Of course not. There must be a place where monsters live under this boulder. We will find out if we look for it." Di Jiu approached the knife-cut boulder as he spoke.
The three of them didn't search for long before Pang Fan shouted, "It's different here."
Di Jiu and He Tai immediately landed next to Pang Fan, and sure enough they found that the place Pang Fan touched was different. The surrounding area is very smooth, as if something is rubbing against it.
"There is a stone blocking here." Di Jiu had a spiritual thought. Although there was no difference in the color of the surrounding stones, he could already tell that there was a stone blocking this place.
Di Jiu pushed hard, and the stone moved to the side like a sliding door. There was almost no sound during the movement, and a huge black hole appeared in front of the three people. Standing at the entrance of the cave, the three of them could feel a bone-chilling cold.
"This must be where the dead crocodile lives. The horned lion will not live in a place like this." He Tai said as soon as he saw the big black hole.
"Go in and take a look." Di Jiu had spiritual thoughts, and he could see clearly what was in front of him with his eyes closed.
He Tai took out a flashlight from his backpack. After Di Jiu and He Tai and Pang Fan came in, he returned the stones at the entrance of the cave to their places again.
The three of them were looking for something inside. It would be bad if a monster followed them in and blocked the door.
The entrance to the cave is very deep, but there is not much fishy smell. It can be seen that the monsters living here are very clean.
The further inside, the more Di Jiu felt the rich spiritual energy overflowing. The spiritual energy of Andromeda is already very strong compared to the earth, and it is much denser here than outside.
"I feel like this place is very suitable for cultivation." Even a crude person like Pang Fan can feel that this environment is conducive to cultivation.
"Eh, a stone football? Ouch!" He Tai groaned, then covered his feet.
Di Jiu and Pang Fan also saw something on the ground, which was a stone about the size of a football.
"This thing seems to grow here. I just kicked it with my foot and it didn't move." He Tai pointed at the stone ball in front of him and pointed at it with his teeth bared.
Pang Fan walked over and moved it hard. He picked up the stone ball and soon threw it on the ground. "How is this possible? This thing weighs several kilograms. How dense is it?"
Di Jiu has been exposed to cultivation knowledge and knows very well that the weight of some ordinary things will change astonishingly as long as some formation restrictions are engraved on them.
"Let me take a look." Di Jiu walked over and kicked off his body, and his spiritual thoughts penetrated into the stone ball.
His spiritual thoughts were like mud sinking into the sea. When he wanted to forcefully penetrate it, a cold breath rushed directly to his sea of consciousness. Di Jiu opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"What's going on?" He Tai and Pang Fan squatted down quickly.
"It's amazing..." Di Jiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "This thing is not simple. Wait until I move it aside and bury it. I will take it away when I am able."
Di Jiu vaguely felt that this stone ball was not simple. According to the introduction on the Jade Slip of Cultivation, it was probably a top-notch refining material.
It's a pity that even though he saw the Jade Slip of Cultivation and knew more than the average person, he was still an out-and-out novice. This stone ball weighs several kilograms, and he doesn't have the ability to take it away yet.
Di Jiu did not explain why he vomited blood, and neither Pang Fan nor He Tai asked. They felt that Di Jiu not only crushed them with strength, but also had a far better understanding of the path of cultivation than them.
After burying the stone ball, the three of them walked less than two hundred meters when they saw a huge pot-shaped pit shrouded in white mist.
"What kind of place is this? That crocodile monster doesn't sleep in this pot pit, right?" Pang Fan said in surprise while standing on the edge of the pot pit.
"There is a green plant in the white mist, with seven flowers blooming on it. All seven flowers are green." Di Jiu had spiritual thoughts, and his spiritual thoughts could see through the white mist more clearly.
(That’s all for today’s update. Good night, friends!)
