On the table in the execution hall, Heiyuan was writing furiously and completing the second written examination of the Hui nationality.

The fat man, who was still looking for opportunities to advance with Uncle Dangkang in Taixu Cave, was burying his body in a pool of water to clean away the blood.

For three whole days, they kept moving to the upper level.

But Uncle Kang never found an opportunity to advance.

Every time I feel like an opportunity comes, it disappears inexplicably.

It's like being teased when Uncle Kang gets angry and takes it out on the little monsters. The fights are very uncivilized. Not only do they kill the monsters, but they also mess up their lairs and cause chaos.

The fat man following him was covered in mud, water, and feces.

"Huh, brother, uncle, you are too angry." The fat man scrubbed his body with clean water from the pool. After days of fighting, his whole body was stained with the monster's blood and stench. The old man refused to let the fat man leave until he woke up.

Finally he saw a pool, and there were no monsters to fight nearby. The fat man jumped into the water with joy.

The clear water is cold and cleansing away the fatigue of days.

All in all, this was the fourth day he entered Taixu Cave.

The fat man completely forgot that there was a brother Guangxi outside the venue waiting for him to go out.

Uncle Kang was lying on the big rock by the pool with a depressed expression.

"Hmph, we are so close, why can't we find it?"

"The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. There must be a road before the water reaches the mountain. There is no rush. Why don't you come down and wash yourself?" The fat man's plump body came out of the water naked. He did not want to bathe with that ancient mythical beast.

Although the opponent has a respected status and strong strength, his mane can squeeze out mud and water.

"Wash, wash, wash whatever you want, you think Uncle Kang, I loved rolling in the mud the most when I was a kid. It not only protects me from the sun but also repels insects."

Since he couldn't regain his health, Fatty decided to take a dip for a while to get rid of the fatigue from continuous battles.

Most of the effort was made by Dangkang, who could only pick up the sick and weak to kill. At this level, the fat man was not strong enough at all, so he could only follow Dangkang and mix some soup.

After taking a shower, Dangkang urged Fatty to get some roast chicken to eat. He had prepared all the ingredients, so Fatty could just roast it.

After eating and drinking, they were ready to hit the road again.

After leaving this mountain forest, they saw a rift valley.

The terrain is narrow and very steep.

"Which way?"

The rift valley is divided into left and right sides, and the conditions on both sides seem to be similar. The fat man raised his hand and pointed to the depths of the rift valley and asked Dangkang.

The old man stopped, his nose flapped, and he took a deep breath.

"right."

Uncle Kang took the lead and stepped towards a passage on the right.

"Why do I think it's right to go to the left?" The fat man rubbed his head out of habit and his tone was not very sure.

"Go to the right. It's me who advances, not you."

Uncle Kang had always been the one to decide which way to go. Apart from complaining that he didn't have time to rest, Fatty rarely refuted.

But I don’t know what happened today. Fatty was unexpectedly stubborn.

Uncle Kang, who was originally angry because of repeated failures in finding opportunities, became irritable and ignored the fat man and would not move his head to the right passage.

The fat man thought that this was a dungeon anyway, and he would just leave if he died. There was no need to worry about his life. He came up stubbornly, ignored his companions, and chose the left passage.

The crack in this long valley is surrounded by towering rocks on both sides. The rock walls are steep and covered with unknown strange flowers and plants. From time to time, small insects and small animals scurry past quickly.

But half of the larger monsters were not seen.

The further we walked, the darker the light became, and the gap above our heads became narrower.

As he was walking, a big rock suddenly fell in front of him, along with a lot of gravel and soil, blocking the fat man's path.

"What is it? Come out quickly." The weapon in the fat man's hand changed from a mace to a monster thigh bone. The rough and dark color gave the fat man a lot of psychological comfort.

There was no movement for a while.

The fat man did not dare to let down his guard and cautiously approached the falling rocks.

There were only big rocks and gravel on the ground. When I looked up, I saw a large dark hole exposed in the middle of the mountain. The size was almost the same as the fallen boulder.

The fat man whistled and looked back, but Dangkang was nowhere to be seen.

This kid is so courageous that he only considered for a few seconds to go up and have a look in person.

The mountain is steep, almost at a right angle, but there are dead trees with well-developed root systems on the stone walls, and there are many protruding rocks. The location of the cave is not too high. Fatty made use of the terrain and climbable objects to quickly reach the entrance of the cave.

The entrance of the cave is almost flush with the cliff on this side, and the big stone just blocks the entrance. Without looking carefully, it is difficult to notice that there is a cave above it.

After waiting for a short while to allow some air circulation in the cave, the fat man held up the bone rod and carefully explored inside.

...

...

When Uncle Kang walked about 100 steps in the right passage, he felt more and more uncomfortable. The young man never refuted himself. If he really gave up on him, would he make him angry and not take him out to play in the future?

The most important thing is that when I think about not being able to eat the young man's roasted chicken or the delicious KFC chicken, I regret being Uncle Kang.

Tiptoeing back, he was hanging far behind the fat man.

When Kang heard the sound of the falling boulders, he thought it was caused by a monster. He was imagining that the fat man couldn't beat him, and when he ran back and begged pitifully for him to take action, he realized that there was no movement in front of him.

When he came to the rockfall, where was the fat man?

When Kang Yi was anxious, he sped up and ran forward for a while, but still found no one.

I went back to the distance to search and found the cave on the cliff.

This height is a piece of cake for a fifth-level mythical beast. With the spirit energy flowing, wind was blowing under his feet, and Uncle Kang landed steadily on the flat ground at the entrance of the cave.

As soon as he hit the ground, his heart palpitated.

Uncle Kang, the ancient mythical beast, was delighted to find that the opportunity to advance had come.

...

...

Holding the bone stick, he groped forward carefully.

Only then did the fat man realize that this cave was extremely rugged.

The cave walls are as smooth as new, unlike those made by monsters.

Going deeper inside, it stands to reason that without light it would be completely dark, but in fact the visibility in the cave has always been at a certain level that is both visible and very dark.

The cave was very quiet, and there were no signs of biological activity. The further inside, the fat man's heart became weirder.

"There's something familiar here."

The cave spirals downward, as if it were a man-made spiral staircase.

The journey was smooth, and finally, the fat man stopped in a chamber that was not very large.

It is said to be a chamber, but it is neither round nor square. According to the fat man's description, it looks more like the inside of an egg.

The fat man was standing in the center of the egg.

"Uh...this...so familiar." The fat man looked around and felt that this place was inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had been here before.

When you come to this chamber, the light is brighter and the surrounding environment is clear at a glance.

The walls of the cave are not smooth and have heavy marks of manual polishing.

Circle after circle of notches surround it.

Forming an arc that creates strange visual changes.

These arcs go round and round, evenly and harmoniously forming the inside of the egg.

There are almost no collections here, except for the entrance of the passage down, which is a rocky protrusion in the middle and upper position.

The fat man walked over, looked down, and was shocked to find a groove in the center of the rock protrusion.

His right hand gently touched the groove deep inside, and his eyes flashed with tears.

"What is this place? Why is the shape of this groove so familiar?"

Subconsciously touching his empty neck, the fat man finally realized where the familiarity came from.

That is the shape of the necklace pendant around his neck.

A family heirloom that I have worn since childhood.

"How do I turn on the mechanism?" Without thinking deeply, Fatty immediately decided that his family heirloom should be stuffed into this groove.

There was a noise behind him, and the fat man turned around warily, only to find Dangkang staring blankly at the four walls of the space.

"It's him, it's him who stayed, young man, it's young man."

"Are you talking about Hong Wentian? Ancestor of the Hong family?"
