Chapter 931: Chapter 932 The Little Cottage
“Then let’s see if you have the skills for it.” Lin Yifan replied.
“Brother Yifan, you an…”
If they had the skills, they wouldn’t need Lin Yifan’s help; so they didn’t understand what Lin Yifan ant by this.
“I an, let’s see if you have the ability to lure the spirit beast. If you can, I’ll help you kill it.” Lin Yifan answered.
“This…”
Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge felt a chill after hearing this. Wasn’t this asking them to throw their lives away? They weren’t that foolish.
“Hesitating? Find it difficult? Then don’t bother asking .” Lin Yifan responded.
He noticed their reluctance, so he had nothing more to say.
“Brother Yifan, doing this is too dangerous, so let’s drop it.” Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge answered in unison.
They would rather not have the spirit beast crystal core if it ant keeping their lives safe.
“Then let’s go and continue forward.” Lin Yifan didn’t want to waste ti and imdiately set off.
The position of the “sun” was eternally unchanging, guiding their path forward.
As they walked, Lin Yifan suddenly felt sothing was off, as if a spirit beast was approaching them.
“Everyone be careful, sothing is getting close.”
At this news, Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge imdiately beca vigilant, looking around nervously.
“Sss!”
At that mont, a black cobra suddenly erged from the bushes, lunging at the lower-realm Lü Qiu Shaoge.
“Ah!!! Brother Yifan! Save !”
Seeing the blood-red mouth with two sharp fangs coming at his backside, Lü Qiu Shaoge was terrified.
This wasn’t an ordinary cobra; it was much larger than usual and could wield mana, far beyond his current ability to resist. So, he could only call for Lin Yifan’s help.
In front of Lü Qiu Shaoge, Lin Yifan quickly turned around, brandishing a small knife and hurling it at the cobra lunging towards Lü Qiu Shaoge’s backside.
“Whoosh!”
The knife flew at an incredible speed, reaching the cobra’s mouth in an instant; with a final “thunk,” it pierced through the cobra’s brain.
Instantly, the mana-wielding cobra was dead.
Lü Qiu Shaoge also escaped danger.
Lü Qiu Shaoge was drenched in cold sweat, knowing a mont’s delay from Lin Yifan would have ant his end.
Because the cobra’s venom was lethal, able to swiftly kill an adult, mana or not, for it too had mana.
The small world was rife with danger, and now he realized the significance of having the right companions.
If their team was only composed of Capital Noble Families’ disciples, they probably wouldn’t have made it to the central city before being killed by spirit beast attacks.
“Brother Yifan! Thank you very much.” Lü Qiu Shaoge expressed his sincere gratitude.
Without Lin Yifan, he wouldn’t be here speaking.
“No need for thanks, just be more careful in the future.” Lin Yifan replied.
Then he went to extract the spirit beast crystal core from the cobra.
He first split open the head and tossed it aside to prevent the cobra’s reflexive bite; then he ticulously searched.
Soon, he dug out a spirit beast crystal core from the cobra’s stomach.
This crystal core was similar to the previous one, likely containing a substantial amount of spiritual energy.
With a spirit beast crystal core collected, they continued on their journey.
After this lesson, they beca even more cautious, trying to avoid areas with dense undergrowth.
However, despite their caution, trouble kept finding them.
Both flying and crawling spirit beasts attacked them, seemingly unwelcoming of their presence.
Regardless of their reception, since Lin Yifan and his companions were already there, they weren’t planning to leave empty-handed; so they buried all challengers.
Primarily, Lin Yifan did the heavy lifting, since the spirit beasts here were generally of higher levels than Long Tengyu and his team could handle.
Throughout their journey, they encountered nurous traps and several human corpses, clearly victims of spirit beast attacks, chilling and terrifying to behold.
These deceased cultivators had ventured in with them but fell on the treasure hunting path, an unsettling fact.
“Alas! It seems treasure is not so easily obtained.” Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge couldn’t help lanting.
Many braved dangers for treasures, but how many actually succeeded?
The small world was far more dangerous than they had imagined; fortunately, they had sought Lin Yifan’s presence; otherwise, they might have been among those corpses.
“Stop lanting and get out of this accursed place.” Lin Yifan urged.
Opportunity and danger coexist; despite many attacks, they also gathered many spirit beast crystal cores, so there was no need for despair.
Only exceptional cultivators can survive in such perilous environnts.
Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge dared not delay and promptly set off.
Though the forest was deserted and filled with dangers, occasionally they spotted small cabins.
So cabins hid ancient treasures, while others were picked clean by earlier cultivators, and so were entirely empty; hence encountering a cabin ant a gamble of treasure.
Having stumbled upon several “empty houses,” Lin Yifan and his team approached a small cabin nestled within the forest, driven by curiosity.
The small cabin was long dilapidated, with tall weeds covering the yard, suggesting long neglect.
This ti, they saw no footprints or trampled weeds, so they reckoned this cabin hadn’t been “looted.”
Driven by great joy, they were eager to enter the cabin.
However, with prior lessons in mind, they knew rushing could an an attack by spirit beasts hidden in the yard’s weeds or inside the cabin.
Why a prior lesson? Because previous explored cabins, “looted” before, had held human and spirit beast corpses, urging caution.
Outside the yard, Lin Yifan and his companions executed Qinggong, bypassing the dangerous zone, reaching the cabin’s door.
They didn’t rush to break in but first checked through the cabin’s windows for any potential threats. Once deed safe, they broke through the door.
“Creak!”
The door opened, releasing a stale, mildewed odor.
