Xiao Zheng walked to the entrance of the cave and looked inside. The cave was winding downwards, extrely deep and the end was not visible at a glance.
Xiao Zheng carefully sensed and discovered an odd aura emanating from inside the cave, as if so powerful being was lurking within.
Xiao Zheng felt puzzled, "Why would such a strong aura appear in such a deep forest? Could there be a master hidden here?"
Xiao Zheng, with increased interest in this cave and bold due to his mastery of arts, did not hesitate and walked directly in to explore.
It had already turned dark and it was pitch black inside the cave, where one could not even see his own fingers. However, Xiao Zheng, with his penetrating heavenly eyes, was not afraid of this.
He followed the path of the cave, delving deeper as the surrounding temperature kept dropping, and then suddenly, there was a crack.
He seed to have stepped on sothing.
Xiao Zheng looked down and found the skeleton of a wild beast on the ground, resembling that of a wild boar.
"The bones have weathered to this extent? It looks like it must have died here decades or even centuries ago."
Xiao Zheng thought.
It was just a skeleton, so he paid no attention and continued moving deeper.
But as he ventured further, his brows slightly furrowed.
He slled a stench of blood!
And within that stench of blood, there was also a rotten sll!
Xiao Zheng was very familiar with this sll; previously, to train in martial arts, he would enter deep forests to toughen his body and often slled this in the dens of fierce beasts. It was the sll that lingered when the beasts did not completely consu their prey.
"Could those people have been eaten?" A thought surged in Xiao Zheng’s mind.
With this thought, Xiao Zheng quickened his pace, constantly moving deeper along the passage.
And as he went deeper, the stench of blood grew denser.
Moreover, more and more skeletons of fierce beasts began appearing on the ground!
So of them had been there for many years, but others were recent, having died not long ago.
The gloomy ancient cave, full of corpses, with a dense stench of blood ford a very sinister and terrifying atmosphere.
Xiao Zheng, with high artistic mastery and great courage, was not afraid at all and, concerned about those few employees, did not stop for a mont and rushed towards the depths of the cave.
Eventually, he reached the end of the cave.
Xiao Zheng looked ahead and his eyes showed a hint of surprise.
What appeared before him was an imnsely huge space, large enough to be several square ters, and astonishingly, several huge gems were hanging from the ceiling which were even glowing on their own, illuminating this vast space!
An odd scene!
However,
Xiao Zheng’s gaze was not focused on these naturally mystical gems.
He looked toward the center of the huge space!
There, in the center of this vast space, there was a stone platform and on that platform, a skull was seated.
The color of the skull was not the white of ordinary human remains but emitted a faint golden light, resembling golden-yellow jade!
Next to the remains, on the platform, there lay a long sword flashing a faint purple light, and its sharp aura, despite being so far away, was still formidable.
Beside the sword, there was a book, tattered and unremarkable in appearance.
Xiao Zheng was shaken!
He stared intently at the skull.
Only he understood what the faint golden light flickering on the skull was.
It was Gang Qi!
Xiao Zheng’s perception was extrely sharp, able to clearly distinguish that the light was indeed Gang Qi.
"This person is already dead, leaving only the skeletal remains that still bear Gang Qi. What level had his martial arts cultivation reached? Even though the person is gone, the remains are undecayed, this... this..."
Xiao Zheng’s eyes were filled with shock.
Even he found this scene hard to believe.
Suddenly.
Xiao Zheng rembered the Golden Bone.
Could the Golden Bone be the skeleton left behind by a powerful martial arts master after his fall? Since the man was too strong, even in death, his remains still contained a trendous and terrifying energy.
"Since this person was a super-strong fighter, then that golden skeleton’s nearby purple longsword and the secret manual..." Xiao Zheng quickly shifted his focus.
His eyes emitted a gleam of delight.
If this person was truly a strong fighter, then the things he left behind would certainly be extraordinary, and obtaining them might greatly help him.
"I never expected that a simple quest to find soone would turn into such a great opportunity," Xiao Zheng thought, very pleased.
He stepped out and lunged towards the stone platform. He planned to take the iron sword and the secret manual into his bag.
After finishing this task, he would continue searching for the missing company employees.
However, just as he was halfway there, Xiao Zheng’s expression suddenly turned cold, his hair stood on end, feeling a terrifying threat.
It seed that so fearso being had set its sights on him!
"Hmph."
Xiao Zheng snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, daring to attack the Evil God, there weren’t many in this world who ended up well!
Boom!
In that instant, his body erupted with a masculine and dominant Gang Qi, violently covering him from head to toe.
In that mont, in this dim space, Xiao Zheng was like a mini hurricane, causing leaves and stones to fly around him.
And there was an ocean-like vast and terrifying aura.
"Moo..."
At this ti, a dull low moo resounded, followed by a rush of wind. Xiao Zheng then saw a huge shadow violently pouncing towards him.
"Hmph."
Xiao Zheng snorted coldly, his fist wrapped in intense Gang Qi and he violently struck out, colliding with the huge creature in an instant.
Boom.
A thunderous noise shook the earth, the huge creature let out a cry of pain, its massive body retreating backwards, repelled by Xiao Zheng.
Only then did Xiao Zheng see clearly that the attacker was a huge python!
It was enormous.
The python was over tens of ters long, as thick as a barrel, with purple patterns on its body, and its snake eyes were cold and lifeless.
"A giant snake?"
Xiao Zheng was startled.
He rembered the animal carcasses he had seen when he entered the cave, presumably all caused by this huge python.
Perhaps, the missing employees who entered this cave were also due to this huge python.
Xiao Zheng’s mind suddenly beca clear.
"Hmph, a re beast daring to show off in front of , it seems you need a proper lesson," Xiao Zheng said with a cold smile.
The python also steadied itself, raising its huge tongue again, its snake eyes vigilantly watching Xiao Zheng, hissing as it spat out its forked tongue.
Utterly chilling, as if it had marked Xiao Zheng as its prey!
But Xiao Zheng remained undaunted.
