Mrs. Bai died

“Whoosh!”

A grey pillar of fire, as thick as a bowl, suddenly shot out from the pile of weapons, striking Madam Bai’s face with lightning speed!

The grey pillar of fire was too fast.

Madam Bai was caught off guard, not even reacting before her face was directly hit by the grey pillar of fire.

With a “bang,”

Madam Bai’s corpse slammed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

As for her head… there was no head left!

Her neck was empty; her original head had been incinerated by the grey pillar of fire!

Poor Madam Bai, due to a moment of carelessness, not only failed to obtain valuable weapons but also turned into a headless corpse herself.

How pitiful!

The sudden anomaly made Xiao Ming and the others instantly jolt.

Gripping their weapons, everyone prepared for defense while looking towards the pile of weapons.

There, weapons shifted, and then a giant lizard, five meters long, emerged from within.

This lizard was not only the largest in size but its aura also reached the mid Divine Sea Realm. The grey pillar of fire just now was spat out by it!

It had been hiding in the pile of weapons until it successfully ambushed Madam Bai, only then slowly revealing itself.

After the mid Divine Sea Realm giant lizard appeared, it swept its gaze over Xiao Ming and the others, then opened its large mouth and began to devour Madam Bai’s corpse.

Crunch, crunch… the teeth-grinding sounds of eating echoed through the cave.

“Damn it! There was actually another hidden giant lizard; Madam Bai died too unexpectedly!” Old Weng said, both angry and furious.

After speaking,

He looked around and lightly shouted, “What are you all standing around for? Let’s go, kill this giant lizard, and then divide the weapons!”

“Aren’t we avenging Madam Bai?” Han Qingfeng asked with a slight frown.

“Avenge what? Madam Bai was careless herself; she deserved to die.” Old Weng said indifferently, then controlled the skull formed by his ghost-head staff, and was the first to fiercely attack the giant lizard.

The others followed suit, launching a frenzied assault on the giant lizard.

Under this level of attack, the ordinary mid Divine Sea Realm giant lizard couldn’t resist at all and instantly fell into a disadvantage.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before this lizard monster was slain by everyone.

However,

Han Qingfeng’s face didn’t show much joy; instead, his brows furrowed even deeper.

Because he knew the relationship between Old Weng and Madam Bai; these two were not only teammates on an expedition but also lovers.

However, upon seeing his lover die unexpectedly, Old Weng not only showed no anger but even became excited because with one less person, he could get a larger share of valuable items.

This situation made Han Qingfeng further realize the ugliness of human nature.

At the same time, he became even more cautious and indifferent.

Xiao Ming, not far away, had been secretly observing Han Qingfeng.

Although he didn't know what Han Qingfeng was thinking, he could clearly see that the expression on the face of this Son of Destiny was becoming increasingly cold.

Approximately ten minutes later,

The giant lizard, covered in wounds from everyone’s attacks, let out a mournful cry and completely died.

After eliminating the giant lizard, Old Weng and the others simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, then all looked towards the pile of weapons in the distance.

Although those weapons were very tempting, no one dared to approach them easily now.

After all, no one knew if there were still dangers hidden beneath the pile of weapons; what if another giant lizard popped out… “Old Weng, now it’s up to your skull.” At this moment, Jiekong turned his head and said.

Old Weng nodded, then controlled the skull to fly over, reaching the side of the weapon pile in an instant.

The pitch-black skull opened its large mouth and blew fiercely at the pile of weapons!

Whoosh!

A gust of black wind rose out of nowhere, blowing all the valuable weapons aside, revealing the flat ground beneath.

This time, there was no hidden danger.

However, on the wall behind the pile of weapons, a man-high, door-shaped cave entrance appeared. The entrance was enveloped by a layer of light curtain, emitting a faint glow.

This door light curtain had been blocked by the pile of weapons earlier, which was why everyone hadn’t discovered it.

“This door light curtain must connect to the next level,” Jiekong said in a deep voice, “As long as we pass through the light curtain, we can enter the second level!”

“Let’s talk about the second level later; we’ll divide the weapons first!” Old Weng said, rushing over impatiently.

After a count, there were over forty weapons on site, most of which were of Profound-grade quality, with only a few reaching Earth-grade.

Because Xiao Ming’s Cultivation Level was the lowest and he didn’t contribute much, he only received five Profound-grade sabers and swords.

He didn’t care either.

Because the value of these items was relatively limited; compared to the other opportunities within Lingyun Cave, they were like heaven and earth apart.

What’s more, Old Weng and the others were destined to die, so even if they divided more, they wouldn’t be able to take it out.

After dividing the weapons,

Old Weng looked around and said in a deep voice, “Everyone saw Madam Bai’s fate just now. Lingyun Cave is not a benevolent place; everyone must be extremely careful.”

“The second level will definitely be even more dangerous!”

“After the battle with the lizard group just now, everyone’s True Essence has been consumed quite a bit. I suggest we first consume elixirs to replenish the lost True Essence, adjust our state to the best possible, and then enter the next level to explore.”

“What do you all think?”

“That makes sense!” Jiekong nodded.

“Old Weng is right.”

“I think so too.”

Everyone had no objections.

Subsequently, Old Weng and the others sat cross-legged on the spot and began to consume some elixirs and medicinal herbs that restored True Essence.

Han Qingfeng, however, kept looking here and there.

He seemed to want to discover something else.

He went to the side of the guardian puppet and carefully examined it, and after finding nothing, he sighed and shifted his gaze.

A moment later,

He walked in front of an ordinary passage and released his divine sense, seemingly sensing something.

Xiao Ming had been secretly watching him.

Because this fellow Han Qingfeng had the opportunity of the blood amber!

After sensing for a moment at this passage entrance, Han Qingfeng found nothing, then began to sense the next passage.

He found nothing in the next one either.

Han Qingfeng didn’t get discouraged and patiently sensed each one. Suddenly, he discovered something at a certain passage entrance, raising his eyebrows.

At the same time, he lifted his foot, intending to walk into that passage.

Just then,

A gust of wind swept by; Xiao Ming moved!

Xiao Ming, who had been prepared, rushed in first, being the first to enter this passage.

“Brother Xiao, this is…” Han Qingfeng was stunned.

He had only sensed that there was something a bit off about this passage, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

Just as he was about to enter to check, Xiao Ming had already gotten there first.

“There might be something in this passage, or there might be nothing, but Brother Xiao has already gone in…”

Han Qingfeng stood still and hesitated for a moment, then finally, he also flew in.
