Chapter 104 - The Battle for Treasure"It looks like the White Wolf Mercenaries exchanged everything for gold coins. What a scary sight." Millions of gold coins. If they were in a town, they might be able to buy a family.
"What is this?" In the middle of the pile of gold coins, there were four brocade boxes. Both of their gazes were focused on the six brocade boxes at the same time. Perhaps these were the most precious treasures.
"Let"s watch it together." The two of them looked at each other for a moment before climbing onto the stack of gold coins. The length and width of the six boxes were different. When they reached the side of the boxes, Blue Spirit said, "Open them first, and then split them equally?""Alright." Lu Shaoyu didn"t object. Instead, he looked at Lan Ling and opened the first box. A faint red light shone out and a fire-attributed aura enveloped the area.
"It"s an early Huang grade fire martial skill." As a fire-attribute martial artist, she could naturally feel this aura. Inside the embroidered box was a light red jade slip. She didn"t open it for cultivation, so she didn"t know what martial skill it was.
Lu Shaoyu could naturally feel the level of this martial skill. Even though a Yellow Rank martial skill was an elementary grade, it was definitely a treasure. In the Lu family, the strongest martial skill was only at the Yellow Rank.Holding back the joy in his heart, Lu Shao You continued to open the second brocade box. A huge blue light shone out, and Lu Shao You instantly felt a fire attributed energy spread out from the brocade box.
"Water element martial skill."
Lu Shao You exclaimed in admiration. Inside the brocade box was also a jade chip. Judging from its aura, it was definitely not inferior to the fire attribute martial skill just now. It was also an early Huang grade martial skill.
"It"s a Martial Technique, and it"s also Yellow Rank." Lan Ling stared at the embroidered box in Lu Shaoyu"s hand in surprise. She opened the third box herself and a huge amount of energy emerged. Within the box, a yellow ball the size of a baby"s fist appeared. It was wrapped in a dazzling yellow light.
A wild and violent energy spread out from the ball the size of a baby"s fist. Sensing this wild and violent energy, Lu Li was naturally able to sense this aura. There was a pale-red jade scroll within the embroidered box.Young You couldn"t help but be startled. This energy was too terrifying. Just looking at it caused his heart to beat wildly.
"Rank 4 Demonic Beast Cores." A Rank 4 Demonic Core was also quite expensive. However, compared to the two Yellow Rank Martial Skills from before, it was still a little inferior. A Rank 4 Demonic Core would normally sell for around 50,000 or more, and a Yellow Rank Initial Martial Skill would be much more expensive."Demonic Core." Lu Shaoyu stared at the beast core. This beast core was of great use to him. The benefits of being able to refine a Rank 4 beast core from its energy must be astounding.
Immediately, the fourth brocade box was opened by Lu Shao You as a blinding light surged forth and a huge amount of spiritual energy filled the air. This spiritual energy contained a violent power and within the brocade box, there was a pearl the size of a baby"s fist.
"Spirit pills, Spirit Beast Pills." To become a Spirit Dan, one had to at least be a Rank 4 Spirit Beast. A Rank 4 Spirit Dan from a Rank 4 Spirit Beast would cost at least a hundred thousand gold coins, even if it was a Rank 4 Initial Spirit Beast. And most importantly, what he needed the most were the Spirit Dan and the Spirit Dan.
"Ahh …"
In the s.p.a.ce outside, several screams could be heard. Several mercenaries jumped off the rocks and fell from the sky. Those people fell down the canyon, and only one scream could be heard echoing in the canyon.Watching this scene, the giant man"s face twitched, while the rest of the people looked shocked. It was impossible to save someone, and no one had expected that the rocks would suddenly break.
In the cave, Lan Ling opened the fifth brocade box. Inside was a vermilion jade slip with a strange aura spreading out from it. This aura was extremely strange and was mixed with a fierceness and violence.
As Lan Ling saw this jade slip and felt this energy, a flash of shock crossed her face. She quickly retracted her surprised expression."What is this?" Lu Shaoyu stared at the fifth box"s item. Although he didn"t know what treasure it was, he could tell from its aura that it was definitely extraordinary.
"I don"t know. It should be extraordinary." Lan Ling smiled and looked away from the fifth box. She then opened the sixth box. The sixth jade slip was a bit strange. It was round and about ten centimeters tall.
A dense aura spread out. This aura gave off a comfortable feeling to anyone who smelled it, and it made them feel refreshed.
Inside the sixth brocade box, there was an unexpectedly tall and transparent small jade bottle. It was filled with a light white liquid, but the bottle didn"t open the stopper. However, the atmosphere inside was abnormally dense."Rumble …"
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly rang out outside the cave. The cave also began to shake violently, and the gold coins in the cave tumbled down. Lu Shaoyu and Lan Ling, who were standing on top of a pile of gold coins, fell to the ground.
In the s.p.a.ce outside, sounds of explosions rang out at almost the same time from the dozen or so caves. The deafening sounds of explosions reverberated throughout the canyon as the stone fragments were scattered and the entire stone wall began to crack.The dozen or so caves exploded at the same time. The tremendous power shook the entire gorge, causing it to shake, and boulders occasionally fell from the sky.
"Not good, there"s danger."No one knew what was going on in the cave, or why it suddenly exploded. In his heart, he was guessing that there must be something dangerous in the cave, someone must have triggered the traps and caused the chain of explosions, and as he had expected, the White Wolf Mercenary Company had arranged all of this.
The cave continued to shake violently. When he came back to his senses, he felt that his face had been covered. His nose was being pressed down by a soft ma.s.s and a fragrant smell wafted into his nose.
"You scoundrel." She lifted her head to look at Lu Shaoyang, who was buried close to her chest, and hurriedly stood up. Although he had always been dressed generously, she had never been so close to a man and had still made contact with her restricted area.
"Please, do you think I want to. You posted it." Lu Shaoyu stood up and rubbed his nose that was sore from being pressed down by the soft stuff. He hurriedly said: "Maybe something happened outside. Hurry up and pack up."
As soon as he finished his sentence, Lu Shao You quickly took the second box in his hand. Water attribute martial skills were exactly what he needed."Half for each person." Lan Ling"s expression changed. Without hesitation, she took w.a.n.g Lin"s fifth box and put it away in her s.p.a.ce Bag.
"Three apiece." Naturally, Lu Shaoyu didn"t want to be outdone. The fifth box was clearly extraordinary, but Lan Ling had made the first move. Her hands descended and grabbed two jade slips with lightning speed. The target was the elixir and the sixth box.
The first thing that came to their mind were the brocade boxes. Inside the brocade boxes were martial skills, Ling Dans, and two other unknown treasures. Compared to gold coins, these were much more important to cultivators."Fine, three each, no one will suffer any losses." He reached out for the sixth box as well, but Lu Shaoyu was the first to grab the sixth jade slip.
Lan Ling"s eyes flashed. Then, she grabbed the primary rank Fire element martial skill book and the Rank 4 beast core embroidered box in her hands.
Lu Shaoyu put the sixth box and Ling Dan into his s.p.a.ce bag without any hesitation and said: "Half of the gold coins, hurry up and take them. The cave seems to be about to collapse. If you can"t get out, you"ll be buried inside."
Lu Shaoyu made a seal with his hand, and a large amount of gold coins was wrapped in Zhen Qi into his spatial s.p.a.ce bag. He could store half of this million of gold coins for at least 500,000 gold coins, if there was a need to buy beast cores in the future, at least he would have the capital to buy a beast core.From the looks of the Blue Spirit Scholar Lu Shaoyu, he was stuffing a large amount of gold coins into the s.p.a.ce bag. With over a million gold coins, right now Lan Ling"s s.p.a.ce bag was only filled to the brim with around 200,000 gold coins. The s.p.a.ce in the s.p.a.ce bag was also limited.
After that, Lan Ling took out another spatial bag. This was Zhao Qing"s spatial bag. Once Zhao Qing died, the spatial bag would be bound by her blood.
By the time the second s.p.a.ce bag was full, all the gold coins were gone. Lu Shaowu had already filled up more than half of the gold coins, but he didn"t have any storage bag, and the s.p.a.ce was also quite a bit bigger. This kind of thing happened much faster than Lan Ling.
"Rumble …"The shaking in the cave became even more intense. Some of the rocks began to fall off. Lu Shao You"s expression changed drastically: "Hurry and get out. This cave is about to collapse."
"Hurry up and leave." Lan Ling was alarmed. She quickly rushed forward. If the cave collapsed, she would be buried alive.At the same time, Lu Shaoyu"s expression darkened slightly. With a flash of his fingers, the items that he had just collected were all stored in his storage ring, making it safer to put them in his storage ring. In other words, in Lu Shaoyu"s heart, he had never believed in Lan Ling.
"Bang, bang …"
Cracks constantly fell down from the sky, but the two of them had set up defensive rings around themselves. Occasionally, some of the rocks would fall from the ceiling, but they were bounced off by their defensive rings.Inside the cave, the arrows that were stuck in the stone wall had all loosened up. The stone wall had cracks in it as the arrows fell onto the ground. The cave was shaking rapidly.
"Hurry up and leave." Just as the giant boulder in front of them was about to land, the two of them paled and their true energy vibrated. They charged out with all their might and just as Lu Shaoyu"s figure pa.s.sed by, the giant boulder collapsed from the top of the cave.
In this situation, how could he dare to hide his strength? He wished that he could be faster. At this moment, Lu Shaoyu had already made up his mind to learn the Cloud Sun Sect"s movement technique. If he had a movement technique, it would be better to use it to escape in the face of danger.
"Bang bang …!"
The sound of collapsing could be heard from behind him. The crushed stones were getting bigger and bigger. The entire mountain was shaking."Get out." When they finally arrived at the cave entrance, light shone in front of them. The two of them sped up and rushed out of the cave. With a few leaps, they stepped onto the stone walls of the canyon and into the s.p.a.ce outside.
"Rumble …"
At the same time, the cave completely collapsed, and boulders continuously fell down and rolled into the canyon. Due to the collapse of the cave, the entire mountain started to crack and crack, the mountain tilted and the canyon broke.
"Big brother, it"s the two of them." In the s.p.a.ce outside the cave, the second leader, the axe wielding leader, said loudly.
"It"s the Violent Wolf Mercenaries." As soon as the two of them landed on the ground, they also quickly discovered the members of the Violent Wolf Mercenary Group.
"Quick, run."Lan Ling shouted as she ran toward the tree vines without any hesitation. There was nowhere for her to run. She could only rely on the tree vines to climb up to the top.
The giant chieftain, with a somewhat plump body, was extremely fast. In an instant, he left behind an afterimage as his true energy vibrated. He extended out his right palm and immediately clenched it into a claw.
"You want to leave? Leave treasures behind." Coldness gushed out of the giant man"s eyes as he laughed. Then, a claw instantly flew toward Lan Ling.
Lan Ling"s expression darkened. Being blocked by this giant, it was already impossible for her to leave easily. She stretched out her hand and formed a palm with her hand. She shouted, "It won"t be that easy!"As Lan Ling"s voice faded, a wave of ferocious and blazing energy shot out from her palm and heavily collided with the giant"s head.
"Bam!"
The air exploded and Lan Ling"s face darkened. She was forced back seven or eight steps before stabilizing herself. She was not a match for the giant man with her strength."You"re not strong enough." The giant man let out a cold laugh. True energy trembled around his body and his entire right arm instantly turned crimson. A hot temperature spread. There was a faint flame lingering on his arm as the temperature of the surrounding s.p.a.ce soared.
"Rumble …"
Giant rocks fell and the crack lines on the cliff wall of the canyon became longer and longer. The s.p.a.ce where everyone was at also began to crumble. This s.p.a.ce was originally connected to the canyon"s stone wall, but at this moment, it also began to crack.
"If we don"t go up, then we can only die together." Lu Shaoyu shouted."Hand over the treasure or don"t even think of going up." The enormous man said in a cold voice as he observed his surroundings. His expression changed slightly as the ground slowly shook. There were already broken rocks falling down from the canyon.
"There are no treasures in that cave. If you want to die, I"ll accompany you." Lu Shaowu said as he looked at his surroundings. If they didn"t believe him, they wouldn"t be afraid of death.
"Do you think I would believe that there is no treasure?" The scrawny man with the severed arm angrily glared at Lan Ling with venomous eyes.
"Then let"s die together." Lan Ling"s expression darkened as she retreated to Lu Shaoyu"s side.
"Bang, bang …"
Several huge boulders fell from the sky and hit the ground. The ground shook even more violently and a boulder fell down with a loud bang. The entire ground could collapse at any moment.
Seeing this scene, many of the members of the Violent Wolf Mercenary Company revealed expressions of fear. If this collapse were to continue, everyone would die."Big brother, this place is dangerous. Let"s go up first." The second leader said to the giant man.
The ground shook, and the giant"s body swayed nonstop. His face twitched as he sized up his surroundings. The ground could collapse at any time, and things would become troublesome.
"Let"s go up, quick." The huge brute shouted and took the lead. The tree vines behind him trembled with the momentum of his zhen Qi as he was the first to climb up. There was no other way out, so there was no need to be afraid of the two of them running away.
The members of the Violent Wolf Mercenary Group surrounded the tree vines. At this moment, Lu Shaowu and Lan Ling had no way of getting up.
"What do we do? It"s about to collapse." The tree vines had been taken over by the members of the Violent Wolf Mercenaries, and they were all running for their lives.
"d.a.m.n." Lu Shaoyu cursed in his heart as he looked around. The surrounding rocks continued to rumble as they hit the ground. The ground shook even more, as if the stones on the ground floor were falling. He said, "Think of a way. This place won"t last for long."
"There"s a way. This is troublesome. If I knew earlier, I would have chosen a slightly larger flying demon beast, and wouldn"t have brought the Fiery Blaze Demon Hawk." Lan Ling grimaced. Although the Fiery Blaze Demon Hawk was very strong, it wasn"t large enough to carry anyone.
"Bang, bang …"
The ground began to cave in and was about to collapse. At this moment, in the Violent Wolf Mercenary Group, there were still a dozen or so people below them who hadn"t jumped onto the tree vines. By the time Lu Shao You and Lan Ling arrived, the ground had already collapsed.
"It"s about to collapse. What should we do?" Lan Ling was surprised.
"Violent Wolf Mercenaries, do you want to go? You can stay for now." Lu Shao You"s expression darkened. Killing intent burst out of his eyes, and five hot finger prints in his right hand swept out along with wisps of flames.
"Swish, swish …"Five burning hot finger prints immediately shot towards the tree vines. If the tree vines were to break, the Violent Wolf Mercenaries on the tree vines would be in trouble.
"Stop him!" There were still a dozen or so Savage Wolf Mercenaries on the ground. Naturally, they didn"t want Lu Shao You to destroy the tree vines. Several strands of energy condensed to block the tree vines. At the same time, several strands of energy shot towards Lu Shao You.
