Chapter 385

One day later, in a lake in the dangerous Fantasy Cave, two heads emerged from the water, and a fox was clinging to the shoulder of one of them. These were Yuan Jing and Ning Yan who had left the underground river.

The two looked around, and Ning Yan said, "This place really lives up to its name. There are holes and holes everywhere, real and fake mixed together."

Yuan Jing said, "Yes, behind the illusion caves, there are either crises or opportunities. The protagonist's opportunities are certainly not bad. They found a cave and inheritance left behind by their ancestors in one of the illusion caves. However, the plot also describes that they broke in accidentally, and there is no guarantee that they can enter the illusion cave again after coming out. It depends on whether we are lucky enough to find it."

Ning Yan held Yuan Jing's waist and flew out of the lake, but he could only fly at a low altitude because there was a no-fly zone above.

After landing, Ning Yan said: "Even if we can't find the inheritance of that magic cave, our luck won't be too bad. There won't be only that magic cave with good things."

Yuan Jing laughed when he heard it: "You are right. Anyway, we don't need to rush out now. Let's explore here carefully. I will try to see if I can tell whether these illusion holes are real or fake."

Yuan Jing rubbed his hands together, Sanwei followed suit and shouted, Ning Yan couldn't help laughing, but he did not relax, he was ready to fight at any time. It was impossible for them to be the only two in the dangerous illusion cave, there was also danger from the illusion cave itself.

Yuan Jing activated his Heavenly Eye, and golden light flashed in his eyes. The entrance to each illusion cave seemed to be the same, and there were layers upon layers of them. This was the first time Yuan Jing had encountered such a dangerous situation. Of course, he had not had the opportunity to see many dangerous situations before, but this kind of use of prohibitions and illusion arrays made him extremely interested. If he had the chance, he would definitely study the illusion caves here thoroughly.

There are definitely dangers inside fake caves, and there is no guarantee that there will be no dangers behind real caves. The dangers may be even greater, and only by passing the dangerous test can you get the good things inside. Of course, it is also possible that this is just a trap, which will make people suffer and gain nothing.

Yuan Jing used his Heavenly Eye to distinguish the differences between the various holes, and after he and Ning Yan and Sanwei had entered a few holes, they mastered the pattern. From then on, they were accurate in every hole they entered, and they all entered real holes. Of course, the two men and one beast were a little embarrassed, but fortunately, after the battles in the Hopeless Sea and the underground river, the combat effectiveness of the two men and Sanwei was greatly enhanced, otherwise it would have been more than just their appearance that was a little embarrassed.

The two men and one beast broke into another cave, and a desert appeared in front of them. There was a crescent-shaped oasis in the desert. The surroundings seemed to be dead silent, with nothing there, which made people suspect that they had entered a fake cave, but Ning Yan would not doubt Yuan Jing's judgment.

Sanwei jumped and skipped to the water's edge, looked into the water, and slapped out with one paw, splashing water that soaked Sanwei. It quickly shook off the water droplets that fell on its body.

It was through these water droplets that Yuan Jing laughed: "Interesting, there is an illusion in the illusion cave. If it weren't for Sanwei's actions, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to find the loophole for a while. Ning Yan, attack this point."

"Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yan drew his sword and attacked in the direction Yuan Jing pointed. Suddenly, the surrounding scenery shattered like glass, and a black hole appeared in front of them. Yuan Jing shouted, "Sanwei, let's go." Then he and Ning Yan jumped in together, and Sanwei followed closely behind. After the two people and one beast jumped into the black hole, the black hole disappeared. At the same time, the shattered glass closed again, and here was another desert with a crescent-shaped oasis.

What appeared in front of the two people and the beast was a stone chamber. There was a skeleton sitting cross-legged in the chamber. There were three jade boxes on the stone table beside it. Yuan Jing and Ning Yan looked at each other. They didn't expect that someone would come here specially to sit and die. They didn't run into the abandoned mansion that the hero and heroine broke into, but entered the place where a cultivator sat and died.

But the two did not relax. Although the bones of the deceased did not seem to be from evil, they could not let their guard down. They bowed respectfully to the remains before checking the items in the jade box.

He used his spiritual energy to open the jade boxes. In one of the jade boxes were two jade slips. Yuan Jing tried to read one of them and found that it was left by the owner of this place. He said with a complicated expression: "This senior is a master of formations. He came to this illusion cave to study the formations here. He said that he had made some achievements. Before he passed away, he left his life's research experience here for those who are destined to be with him. The illusion outside is a test left by the senior. Only by breaking the illusion can you come in."

Yuan Jing thought that what he wanted to do had already been put into action by other cultivators. This senior was probably a technology enthusiast in modern society, and he might even have delayed his cultivation in order to study the formation.

Yuan Jing bowed respectfully to the senior again, then put away the formation jade slip. In the other two jade boxes, one contained a set of formations. The formation left by the formation master was certainly not simple. The other contained an unknown piece of iron. The jade slip also contained a description of the iron piece. The senior obtained it by chance, but he did not figure out what it was until his death. He hoped that someone with a destiny could solve the secret. The senior believed that this piece of iron was not an ordinary thing.

Yuan Jing looked at the piece of iron and his expression changed. Ning Yan was familiar with him and knew that this should not be a bad thing: "Yuan Jing, do you know this thing?"

Yuan Jing put the iron piece back into the jade box, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "The secret of this iron piece was revealed by the original body's biological father, because it is not something that can be recognized by the lower realm, but comes from the upper realm. Only Zuo Wenlu, who also came from the upper realm, recognized this thing after recovering his memory. Of course, there is more than one piece of iron, and no one knows how many pieces there are. Anyway, Zuo Wenlu got one piece, and with this piece of iron, he entered a place of inheritance. After coming out of the place of inheritance, his strength increased greatly, including the heroine. Without this place of inheritance, it would not be so easy for them to ascend."

Ning Yan smiled and said, "It seems we are very lucky."

Yuan Jing smiled: "That's because he is the prophet who knows the plot. Otherwise, if we find this thing, we will probably have the same result as our predecessors. We can only know the truth when Zuo Wenlu comes forward."

"It's ours now anyway."

"Yes." Yuan Jing did not think that this was an opportunity that had taken away the male and female protagonists. The piece of iron he found was not the one in Zuo Wenlu's hand. Of course, he had no psychological barriers to snatching the opportunity from Zuo Wenlu, because he and Zuo Wenlu were destined to stand on opposite sides. This was a process of one gaining while the other lost.

So Yuan Jing put the iron piece into the space without hesitation. Before leaving with Ning Yan Sanwei, he once again paid great respect to the senior. And when leaving the stone chamber, he used the method left in the jade slip to completely seal the hole, allowing the senior to rest here and no one could come in to disturb him.

They were equivalent to obtaining the formation inheritance from a formation master, so they were in a good mood. After a short rest, they chose another real cave to break into. This time they encountered a bunch of puppets. The two men and the beast had a hard time killing them. Finally, they fought their way out of the encirclement of the puppets, quickly exited the cave, came outside, looked at each other, and then laughed.

However, the corpses of the puppets they dealt with were collected by Yuan Jing, including the materials that were scattered on the ground. Yuan Jing also did not let go. Many of the materials that can be used to make puppets can also be used to refine formations. Although Yuan Jing's space has collected a lot of things from other worlds, there are really not many that belong to the world of cultivation, so they must not be wasted.

Later, they also collected some spiritual herbs, several alchemy recipes, an alchemy furnace, and several spiritual weapons of good quality. The grade of the spiritual weapons was higher than that of magic weapons. So this dangerous place and dangerous cave became a treasure chest in the eyes of the two men and one beast. They didn't know what was inside the treasure chest before opening it, but there was a certain chance of getting good things, and the two men and one beast enjoyed it very much.

They even found a nice cave with rich spiritual energy inside, which could be used as a place for their cultivation and retreat. Yuan Jing carefully memorized the location of the cave to ensure that he could enter it again next time.

As soon as they came out of another cave, they heard some noise outside. Yuan Jing immediately took Ning Yan and Sanwei with him, and took advantage of the terrain and formations here to hide their bodies. This was the first time they encountered other cultivators in the illusion cave.

"Senior Brother Meng, can't the sect really let Senior Brother Ning go?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Jing looked at Ning Yan suspiciously. Could it be that Ning Yan was the one being talked about? How could he have run into a disciple of the Chixia Sect by chance?

Ning Yan was speechless and could only say that it was a small world. However, there was another possibility. He sent a message to Yuan Jing: "Maybe they are disciples sent to guard the entrance to Hopeless Sea. This dangerous place of illusion cave should not be far from Hopeless Sea."

Yuan Jing thought so too. Maybe these disciples took advantage of the opportunity of being absent to search for treasure.

"Junior brother, be careful with your words!" Senior Brother Meng scolded, "Ning Yan is a demon, he is no longer a disciple of our Chixia Sect, don't call him Senior Brother Ning anymore, he has fallen into depravity and become a demon, can you blame the sect for that? With him around, we Chixia Sect disciples have a bad reputation, I hope Elder Cai can get rid of this demon once and for all this time."

The disciple who spoke out snorted a few times and was unable to utter any rebuttal. The other two disciples who came with him also echoed what Senior Brother Meng said. Although Ning Yan was their admired senior brother in the past, he was now a demon that everyone wanted to kill. How could they still call him senior brother? They should draw a clear line between them as soon as possible.

"Okay, let's not talk about that evil Ning Yan. I brought you here this time because there are good things to be gained. Once you enter the cave, everyone who sees it will have a share. Don't say that I, as your senior brother, didn't help you."

"Thank you, Brother Meng. Brother Meng is a man of great kindness and righteousness. How can that big devil compare to him?"

Senior Brother Meng was obviously very happy to hear this, and it showed in his voice: "This is a cave I found last time. In addition to elixirs and magic weapons, there may also be a legacy. It depends on who is lucky enough to get the legacy. Last time I came here alone, I couldn't pass the test, but when I left, I took something out of it. With this thing, I can find the cave again."

The two disciples flattered him again: "Senior Brother Meng is the smartest. Thank you for bringing us here."
