Chapter 264 Regretful Xiao Yuan

Naturally, no one knows more about treasure hunting than Zi Yan.

Following Zi Yan, passing through a long and deep tunnel in the valley, after about a few minutes, Xiao Yuan and the others' view was gradually blocked by a stone wall covered with weeds.

The figures of several people slowly stopped in front of the stone wall. Everyone glanced around but didn't find anything wrong. They then looked at Zi Yan with puzzled eyes.

Seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes, Zi Yan immediately smiled triumphantly, moved his body, appeared somewhere on the stone wall, then clenched his little fist and punched down hard.

"Oh!"

Amidst the rubble, a crack appeared in the stone wall. Zi Yan rushed forward again, and her small fist was like a mountain-breaking machine, rumbling and blasting the stone wall to create a tunnel ten meters deep. Then, Xiao Yuan and others saw a dark cave hidden deep in the stone wall.

Seeing the deep hole behind the stone wall, Xiao Yuan nodded as expected, then smiled and gave Zi Yan a thumbs up, saying:
"It has to be you! I'll give you a sixth-grade elixir as a reward!"

"Hmph! You know what's going on!"

Zi Yan raised her chin when she heard that, put her hands on her hips, and said with a delicate snort.

Looking at the cave behind the stone wall, Xiao Yuan reached out and pulled Zi Yan, whose face was full of excitement, behind him. Then his eyes met with Xiao Yan, Little Medical Fairy, and Su Qian. The fighting spirit in his body circulated quietly, and then he slowly fell into the crack forcibly opened by Zi Yan and walked slowly forward.

After passing through the short tunnel, Xiao Yuan and the others stopped outside the cave entrance after a while. Standing here, they could faintly see some lights emanating from the cave. On the stone walls around the cave, there were some pictures of magical beasts painted on them, which looked ferocious. However, this useless deterrence was naturally useless to Xiao Yuan and the others.

Xiao Yuan walked in the front of the group. He was the strongest. Although his fighting spirit was slightly depleted in the fight with the old demon, with his fighting spirit foundation, he had recovered some of it in such a short time. Even in a hurry, it was enough to withstand the attack of an eight-star Dou Zong. Now, no one knew whether there were any mechanisms in the cave, so it was most reassuring for him to lead the way in front.

Inside the cave, there is a long stone staircase that extends into the faint darkness below, and it is difficult to see the end. On the surrounding mountain walls, there are some moonstones inlaid that emit a faint light, slowly driving away the darkness inside the cave.

Several people slowly walked down the stone stairs. After about ten minutes, they reached the end. At the end of the stairs, a thick and closed stone door appeared in front of everyone.

The stone door is completely black, covered with some moss, and there is a hint of thickness.

"I come."

Seeing another stone gate, Zi Yan immediately volunteered, her little face full of excitement. This girl seemed to have a particularly strong tendency towards destruction.

"Just stay here quietly." Xiao Yuan didn't dare to indulge this little rascal this time. He shook his head helplessly, grabbed Zi Yan, then nodded at Su Qian and stuffed the little girl into the arms of the Little Medical Fairy.

No one knows what the situation is here, so it is better to be careful.

Seeing this, Su Qian smiled, protected Zi Yan behind him, and then slowly pressed his dry palm on the stone gate. His eyes suddenly became fierce, and the powerful fighting spirit that was enough to destroy mountains and split rocks surged out along his arm like lightning, and finally with a loud bang, it slammed heavily on the stone gate.

"Oh!"

As the gravel flew, the stone door was instantly covered with cracks. Then it collapsed with a bang, and dazzling light suddenly shot out from it.

When the bright light burst out, everyone narrowed their eyes out of habit. Then, Xiao Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he blurted out in a light voice: "Grand Elder, be careful!"

As soon as Xiao Yuan finished shouting, a fishy wind rushed out from behind the stone gate, and the fierce wind rushed straight towards Su Qian who was in the front.

"Humph!"

The sudden change did not make Su Qian panic. He snorted coldly, curled his hands, and his soft sleeves suddenly became as hard as gold and iron. Then he flapped them forward fiercely, and the sharp sound of breaking wind echoed in the cave.

"boom!"

The sleeves fanned out, and strong wind surged out like a wave, hitting the object that was coming. Then Xiao Yuan and others heard a shrill scream, and the huge figure suddenly shot back and finally fell heavily on the ground.

At the same time, Xiao Yuan also stretched out his hand and pressed it. A dark golden fire immediately gushed out, passing through the dust and directly killing the attacker who had taken advantage of Su Qian's attack and locked onto his soul power. No one could even hear a scream.

Su Qian on the side waved his sleeves again, and the howling wind drove away all the smoke and dust in front of him, revealing the space behind the stone door.

What appeared in front of Xiao Yuan and others was a rather spacious warehouse. The lights inside the warehouse were extremely dazzling. The surroundings of the warehouse were all built with hard black steel stone. At first glance, this warehouse seemed to have been opened up from a black steel stone vein.

There are many shelves in the warehouse, and on the shelves, scrolls are neatly arranged. On the other side, there are many crystal cabinets. In the cabinets, you can vaguely see many rare medicinal materials carefully placed.
Their eyes slowly swept across the warehouse, and then Xiao Yuan and others' gaze stopped on the huge charred corpse of the snake-shaped monster on the ground. Obviously, the previous attacker was it.

"A fighting king-level monster dares to attack me!"

Su Qian walked slowly into the warehouse, glanced at the charred snake-shaped monster, and shook his head.

"It must be the caretaker of this place." Xiao Yuan also smiled, his eyes did not linger on the charred snake corpse at all, and turned directly to the warehouse. After seeing the many scrolls, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he exclaimed in admiration, "It is worthy of being an old-fashioned force that has existed for so many years. These collections are really not weak."

“These have all been sorted and graded.”

Xiao Yan approached a bookshelf and looked at the words "Xuan Tier Low Level" painted on the shelf, and couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Yuan nodded, glanced around, and then walked directly to the depths of the warehouse. He did not care about the ordinary Xuan-level fighting skills or even techniques. He was rather curious as to whether the Demon Flame Valley had any high-level techniques or fighting skills that would even surprise him.

Although Hai Lao's Xuanbing Longxiang is not bad, it is only comparable to the earth-level fighting skills. Xiao Yuan now needs stronger fighting skills.

With his thoughts racing in his mind, Xiao Yuan unknowingly reached the end of the storeroom. On the bookshelf beside him, there were not many scrolls piled up like the ones in front, but only four quaint wooden boxes.

This bookshelf was not unprotected like other bookshelves. There was a layer of light shield around it. The rich energy faintly emanated from the shield. Even Xiao Yuan was surprised. Good things really have to be unique.
With this thought flashing through his mind, Xiao Yuan was not in a hurry to forcibly destroy the light shield. Instead, his eyes slowly swept around the bookshelf and then stopped on two simple characters on the bookshelf.

"Earth steps!"

Looking at these two characters, Xiao Yuan smiled. It seemed that this trip was not in vain. Earth-level skills and fighting techniques were extremely rare. Moreover, since they were so preciously displayed by the old demon, they must not be ordinary items.
A faint curtain of light enveloped the bookshelf. It seemed weak, but it contained a strong energy.

"what?"

His eyes scanned the light shield cautiously. After a moment, Xiao Yuan suddenly let out a light exclamation. He discovered that there seemed to be some hard-to-detect spatial traces around the light shield.

"This light shield must have been set up by the old demon. It contains some spatial power. Although it is not strong, if it is destroyed forcibly, it may cause damage to the things inside."

Su Qian on the side also noticed the peculiarity of this light shield, and immediately frowned and said.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the light curtain.

"Swish, swish." As the palm made contact, the light curtain suddenly fluctuated, and circles of ripples spread out along the contact point. Then, the space at the light shield suddenly became distorted. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuan frowned. From the tingling sensation from his fingertips, although the light shield did not seem strong, if it was really destroyed by force, the energy contained in it would suddenly explode. The force of the explosion might not be too great, but it should not be a big problem to destroy the scroll in it.

"The old demon is worthy of being a seven-star Dou Zong powerhouse. Even the sealing energy he left behind is so tricky." Su Qian sighed and said, this feeling of being able to see the treasure but not being able to get it is really not a good one.

"Haha, when it comes to the use of spatial force, that old ghost is no match for me!"

Xiao Yuan smiled, and then a strong silver light appeared at his fingertips, which was a symbol of the extremely strong power of space.

laugh!
Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand, and his fingertips passed through the space and entered the light shield. He reached into the bookshelf without any hindrance and took out the four wooden boxes one by one.

"Your use of the power of space is truly astonishing."

Looking at the four wooden boxes that Xiao Yuan took out effortlessly, Su Qian couldn't help but shook his head, his tone full of emotion.

When he killed the old demon just now, Xiao Yuan was already incredibly strong.

Now seeing that he is at the level of a two-star Dou Zong and still has such performance, it is really amazing.

"Haha, this is because my own cultivation method is special. Zi Yan is gifted in the power of space!"

Xiao Yuan smiled, and then opened the four slightly rustic wooden boxes one by one.

In the first wooden box, there are two silver scrolls. The scrolls are made of strange materials and look like a strange crystal. On the surface, there are even subtle electric lights like silver snakes. Walk around.

Seeing this extraordinary-looking scroll, Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise, then he took it out and slowly spread it out.

"Thunder Mirror, Earth Rank Intermediate, Thunder attribute technique."

Looking at the introduction written on the scroll, Xiao Yuan's eyes were slightly disappointed.

I don't have much use for this technique anymore.

But I can take it back and give it to my second brother.

Then he took out another silver scroll from the wooden box, glanced at it, and nodded slightly.

"The Jingzhe Thunder Method, an intermediate earth-level fighting skill, a fighting skill that is a complete set with the Benleijian"

If that's the case, I can take a closer look and then give these to Xiao Yu, asking her to bring them to her second brother when she returns home.

Speaking of which, Xiao Yu's cultivation speed is not slow. Xiao Yuan estimates that by the time he graduates from Canaan College, Xiao Yu should become a Dou Wang-level strongman.

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded, then opened another wooden box. A familiar red scroll appeared in his eyes.

"Flame Technique."

Looking at the scroll, Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows.

He had obtained this Flame Control Technique from Fang Yan and the other two a long time ago, but after taking a look at it, he always felt that it was useless, and in his vague memory, it seemed to have some not-so-good impressions, so he did not make time to practice it. Unexpectedly, another one would appear now.

He picked up the scroll and slowly spread it out. As expected, the three fiery red characters "Nong Yan Jue" came into view. However, the difference was that after the three characters, there was another character in an especially bright red color.

"real!"

"Flame Technique, really?"

Looking at the word "true", Xiao Yuan frowned immediately, then spread out the scroll and read the words carefully.

"This Flame Playing Technique is the result of many years of hard work by me to improve. Although the previous Flame Playing Technique was powerful, it required at least three people to practice before it could condense a fake strange fire. And each condensation required a considerable price. However, this technique is even better. Practicing alone can also successfully condense a fake strange fire, and its power is far superior to that of a strong person. The sequelae are also greatly weakened. Although the condensation method has become more complicated, compared with the gains, it is a few flaws that can be ignored."

Slowly scanning the book, Xiao Yuan finally had some impression. This book was indeed better. The reason why he had not practiced the Flame Technique he had obtained before was because the so-called condensed strange fire had huge sequelae. This sequelae was rubbish to him! Anyway, he could rub the strange fire with his hands, so he might as well improve his strength directly by rubbing it with his hands!
But now, he could use the Flame Manipulation Technique as a reference, which might help him to learn how to rub the strange fire with his own hands.

Moreover, it can also be given to Xiao Yan to play with. In fact, because the two are often together, Xiao Yan almost has no chance to use the Fire Lotus. Until now, the Fire Lotus is still Xiao Yan's least known trump card.

Xiao Yuan didn't even dare to think about how terrifying it would be if Xiao Yan could get a few more strange fires and create a colorful super fire lotus for him.

There might even be a chance to blow Emperor Hun Tian half to death.

"Xiao Yan, take this and study it. It will be of great benefit to you."

Xiao Yuan handed the scroll to Xiao Yan with a smile, and then opened the two wooden boxes at the same time.

The wooden box opened, revealing two items inside. One was a fist-sized fiery red round bead, and the other was an ordinary gray-brown bamboo slip.

The eyes of Xiao Yuan and others first focused on the fiery red bead. They could feel that it contained a very violent and huge fire energy.

"Is this a seventh-level fire-attribute magic core?"

Xiao Yuan stared at the fiery red bead with some surprise.

This is the first time he has seen this thing.

However, it is not difficult for Xiao Yuan to kill the seventh-level monster now. Therefore, after his gaze stayed on the fiery red bead for a moment, he looked at the ordinary-looking bamboo slips.

Gently peeling off the thin line on the bamboo slips, Xiao Yuan slowly spread it out, and then, a large bloody word with a hint of cruelty suddenly appeared in his eyes, making his heart jump violently.

"Heavenly Demon Puppet!"

Seeing these three words, Xiao Yuan's face changed, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly with regret:

"I shouldn't have killed the old demon just now!" (End of this chapter)
