Once he had recovered all his Inner Chi, he then headed deeper into the cave.
The cave was not formed naturally. It seemed like it was created from something very hot melting the rocks.
The walls of the cave were exceptionally smooth, and it still had some signs of being burned. There was also the smell of something burning around him.
As he walked deeper into the cave, it also became darker.
Luckily for him, darkness was not much of a deterrence.
After walking for about ten minutes, light had finally entered his vision.
“This is?!”
As he walked forward, what he saw stunned him.
There was a structure underneath the exit.
The structure was created using some kind of ore and it was formed of three separate buildings.
There were two monster statues in front of each of the buildings. In front of the structure, there was also a statue of a coiled python.
The python statue was around 25 meters tall. It was so masterfully carved that it seemed to be alive.
“Looks like these statues aren’t really statues, but a group of monsters waiting to be triggered!”
He had encountered such monsters before back in Divine Dominion. Normally, when they were not in combat, they were nothing but statues. But if one were to get close to it, it would then awaken and attack all enemies that were within its aggro range.
And in most cases, these kinds of monsters were very powerful.
He did not choose to go down, but continued to look at the surroundings.
He then saw that there was a pathway, and the pathway would lead to a stone door installed on the walls of the cave.
That stone door was the real main door.
His guess was that the cave that he was in right now should have been created by that python at the structure’s gate.
That was because the cave’s size was about the snake’s size.
The reason why it would be so smooth was that the python was the one that created the cave.
As for the signs of burning, it had to be because the python was a fire-elemental creature.
Boom!
Just as he was still observing the construction and was trying to find a way to enter, the stone door down below suddenly made a booming sound.
“Hm? The other players have already found this place?”
When Jiang Feng heard the sound, he frowned and struck at the rock wall with his palm. He then blocked the cave using a giant rock that fell, leaving behind only one small opening.
When these players found this place, they would never spread the news. Then, he could use the players to help him kill the monsters so that he could profit from it.
Boom!
The booming sound was getting louder, and it was getting much more rapid. It seemed that there were plenty of monsters stopping them outside the stone doors as well. But what made his face turn grim was that when he listened to the sound, it sounded like there were plenty of people fighting. At least around eight of them.
“I can’t wait around. That explosion will attract a large group of other players. I have to enter the structure and take everything within those three buildings before they could arrive!”
The moment he thought of that, he then struck away the giant rock that had fallen.
“Cloud Walk!”
The moment that the giant rock flew away, he used his Cloud Walk Mysticism and jumped into the air, and then jumped into the air, and then headed to the three buildings. He did not use the main door that the python was protecting.
Boom!
The rock fell, crashing not too far away from the python statue.
However, the python statue did not move at all.
And the moment that the rock crashed into the ground, his body landed on the roof of a building.
“I was so lucky to have this treasure map in my hand and I managed to find the cave. Otherwise, I would have to fight with that python statue outside. And now, all I need to deal with are the monster statues guarding the three buildings. As long as I can take care of these monsters, even if those players manage to break through the main door, they will still need some time to take care of the python statue!”
The walls were very high. Even if there were elites among the players or that they had any mobility skills, they would not be able to enter the structure so easily.
It could be said that because of the treasure map, he was already able to ignore two layers of monster statues guarding the doors.
That was his advantage. If could not use it properly, not only would he not be able to get anything out of this, he might even lose his life.
He landed on the roof of the building in the middle. The two statues still had no reactions.
He jumped down and landed in front of the building.
“Seriously? It’s locked? And it has two locks instead of one?!”
He was prepared to land from the roof and then quickly enter the building. But what he did not expect was that the door was locked. There were two locks, one to the left and one to the right.
Crack!
At this time, the two statues began to move.
A Two-Headed Dog and a Blue Ice wolf!
The two monsters were both at Black Realm One Star with HP of 1,500 and a combat rating of 1698.
Once they had passed one level in terms of realms, it would grant them extra 500 points of HP. That meant that as long as they were not bosses, a Yellow Realm Ten Star monster would have HP equal to 1,000 points. Reaching the Black Realm would grant them an extra 500 points.
Luckily the two monsters were just normal monsters and had not reached full combat rating, and he could try to fight them off.
Whoosh
The moment that the monsters removed the concrete around them, he suddenly jumped out and the Qingfeng Sword in his hand stabbed at one of the two heads of the Two-Headed Dog.
-54
Despite being a critical damage, he had only dealt around 54 Damage, and Jiang Feng’s face turned grim.
He did not give up, and he kept on slashing at one of the heads of the Two-Headed Dog before the two monsters could be freed completely.
Every time he stabbed it was aimed at the Two-Headed Dog’s neck. After three seconds, he managed to cut down one of the dog’s heads, making it lose one-third of its HP.
Howl!
At this time, the Blue Ice Wolf had completely awakened. It opened its mouth, and a blue chi ball went straight toward him.
When he saw that, he dodged immediately.
Crack!
After he dodged, the chi ball that struck the ground he was standing on was suddenly frozen, even the ground was also frozen.
“Hm? A good chance!”
When he saw that the Two-Headed Dog had been frozen solid, he smiled and quickly used Transmute Monster on the Two-Headed Dog.
“Transmute Monster!”
Ding. Tianji System Prompt: Transmute Monster Successful! Congratulations, you have received a Lower-Black Level Beast Pill.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt. Congratulations on slaying the Black Realm One Star Two-Headed Dog. Evaluation S Rank. Received a Yellow-Supreme Treasure. Combat Rating +10.
“Haha! Just as I thought! The resistance of the Frozen Two-Headed Dog was lowered, and my full luck caused my Transmute Monster to succeed!” Jiang Feng was happy when he heard the announcement of the System’s voice in his ears. He quickly picked up the Lower-Black Realm Beast and the treasure and threw them into his backpack.
-321
However, just as he was picking up the two items, three ice lances made from chi flew toward him. He managed to escape two, but one of them struck at his abdomen and he could sense intense pain as blood kept on flowing.
He did not expect that after being hit by one of the ice lances, he would lose so much HP.
He only had 600 HP. If he was hit even once more, he would die.
When he remembered that, he quickly took out a Middle-Yellow Beast Pill and ate it.
Ding. Tianji Prompt: As you have eaten the Middle-Yellow Beats Pill, HP recovered by 500 points. Increase Inner Chi and Combat Rating by 10.
