Volume 1 Changshui County Handyman Chapter 51 Adventure in the Cave
"Director Chen seems to have disappeared, and there is no trace of him anywhere."
This was Zhou Cheng's first sentence after meeting Lu Jiuzhang.
"Did you go somewhere else?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
There is more than just the back mountain around here.
"Probably not!" Zhou Cheng shook his head, "I once asked the clan leader that monsters appear in this mountain every once in a while. I speculate that there should be something strange about this back mountain."
"Other mountains are relatively more ordinary. Even if Director Chen wants to come, he will definitely come to this mountain!"
"But after searching the whole mountain, Director Chen seemed to have disappeared from the world."
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, and then asked, "Are you sure you have searched every place?"
“There’s still one place left!”
Zhou Cheng looked at the cave halfway up the mountain, "The air inside is so thin that even a ninth-level martial artist cannot hold it. If there is only one possibility, Director Chen should have gone in."
"There must be something in the cave that attracts Director Chen!"
The two of them had entered the cave before and were tricked by the wizard.
Want to go in again?
Lu Jiuzhang glanced at Zhou Cheng, somewhat undecided.
"Let's go and explore first."
Zhou Cheng said, "If there is really no other way, we will come out again."
Soon, the two reached a consensus.
…
When I arrived at the place I came in last time, there were still blood stains on the ground.
Up here, the air is extremely thin.
Lu Jiuzhang and Zhou Cheng's breathing became rapid.
After walking forward again, after half a stick of incense, the two of them felt like they were seeing stars, and even their movements were extremely slow.
My legs felt like they were filled with lead and it was difficult to move forward.
Both Lu Jiuzhang and Zhou Cheng have already given up.
Both of them are highly qualified, and it is not easy to get here.
If you were an ordinary person, you would probably have to give up before you get halfway through.
If we go further, even Chen Xuanfeng may have to suffer from the thin air and find it difficult to move forward.
"Let's walk a little longer... Phew..."
Zhou Cheng's voice was very heavy.
When they got here, the two of them kept breathing regularly and talked as little as possible.
Otherwise, it will be more difficult to move forward.
After more than ten feet, a fork in the road appeared in front of the two of them.
"I'll take the left one, you take the right one."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
Go in separately to explore, and if you can't succeed, go back.
Mo Huanwei did not follow because he was at the bottom of the mountain because he was looking for someone.
He was only protecting Lu Jiuzhang's life, not Lu Jiuzhang's personal bodyguard.
Zhou Cheng nodded.
The two separated and went their separate ways.
At this time, Lu Jiuzhang seemed to have hallucinated.
The further he walked, the more relaxed he became.
No, it’s not an illusion, it seems to have really become easier!
Lu Jiuzhang felt that his legs were getting stronger and stronger, no longer as heavy as before.
Breathing also became easier.
Now that we're here, are there any vents around?
No, if there is a vent, the air in the cave will circulate, and there will be no extremely low oxygen content in the middle section.
So how is it caused?
I don’t know what’s going on with Zhou Cheng!
After tea time, Lu Jiuzhang had returned to normal.
An empty space inside the cave also appeared in front of his eyes. In the center of that space, there was a tree with a trunk thicker than two people hugging each other.
The big tree is not very tall, but it has luxuriant branches and leaves.
Lu Jiuzhang even noticed that the aura of this place was quite rich.
The training conditions here are really great!
If he were not in a strange place, Lu Jiuzhang would have wished to sit cross-legged on the ground and start practicing.
And there was actually a fruit on the tree.
Lu Jiuzhang roughly counted the fruits and found that there were not many fruits, no more than five.
It doesn't make sense that such a thick tree only bears five fruits.
If you think about it carefully, this tree is rooted in such a deep cave, so it is very rare that it is still alive.
Lu Jiuzhang walked over.
Just as he was about to take a closer look at the wild fruit, a strange sound of "hiss..." sounded in Lu Jiuzhang's ears.
In an instant, Lu Jiuzhang took a few steps back.
The next second, a black thing poked out from the leaves, staring at Lu Jiuzhang.
It was an inverted triangle-shaped head with wide eyes and spitting out snake letters.
Lu Jiuzhang had never seen such a strange snake. It was covered with black scales and was extremely dangerous.
There should be no entry!
Lu Jiuzhang took out the sword from his waist, and at the same time the literary energy from his body emerged and attached to the sword.
There is no specific knife technique, either chopping or chopping.
The strange black snake was extremely agile and kept dodging on the trees.
But after all, it’s just a mortal thing.
Lu Jiuzhang seized the opportunity and killed the strange snake with one knife.
Worried that there was something strange and dangerous in the big tree, Lu Jiuzhang was cautious.
First, he circled the entire tree, and then with the faint candlelight, Lu Jiuzhang discovered that there were many animal bones on the ground.
Animals are killed here, and their corpses become nutrients, nourishing the entire tree.
That strange snake must have been the winner of a certain battle, otherwise it wouldn't be alive today.
But what makes Lu Jiuzhang curious is why is that strange snake entrenched here?
Moreover, the strength of the strange snake is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and it is estimated that it will become a top-notch snake in a few years.
This time it was Lu Jiuzhang who killed it first, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with it so easily after it reaches the top level.
It can be regarded as solving a problem for the people of Sanyizhuang at the foot of the mountain!
After making sure that the place was safe, Lu Jiuzhang raised his head and looked at the big tree, especially the fruits on the tree.
This big tree has been growing here for a long time, and it must have been contaminated with a lot of spiritual energy.
Then, the fruit it bears should be extraordinary.
Lu Jiuzhang picked one off casually, wiped it with the corner of his clothes, and put it in his mouth.
"hiss……"
Lu Jiuzhang took a breath. The fruit was not yet ripe, extremely sour, and even had a bit of a bitter taste.
Damn it!
Lu Jiuzhang couldn't help but uttered a curse word.
Fortunately, although the fruit is bitter, it also contains a lot of spiritual energy.
When the fruit is digested, spiritual energy enters the body.
Lu Jiuzhang quickly sat on the ground and began to sit cross-legged and practice, moving around the sky.
There was no sun or moon in the mountains, and Lu Jiuzhang gradually withdrew from his cultivation state for who knows how long.
Different from the pain caused by using medicinal herbs to temper the body before, after eating this fruit, it is extremely comfortable to sit cross-legged and practice.
Even Lu Jiuzhang's own realm has improved a lot. He even vaguely felt that he had reached the threshold of the ninth level of martial arts.
There were four fruits left here, and Lu Jiuzhang was not polite. He drank the fruits one by one and began to absorb the pure spiritual power inside.
After eating the second fruit, he entered the ninth level of martial arts.
Unlike the last time I broke through the ninth level of Confucianism and Taoism, my mind felt refreshed.
After breaking through to the ninth level of martial arts this time, Lu Jiuzhang felt that his limbs were extremely flexible and full of strength.
It's like some kind of shackles have been opened!
There was no waste, and the remaining three fruits were consumed by Lu Jiuzhang one by one, completely consolidating his realm! This chapter has been completed!
