Chapter 323

“Little fellow, are you sure you aren’t duping me? This is the treasure?” Long Chen looked at the huge cave entrance in front of them suspiciously . This cave was emitting an extremely sinister air .

“Yes, I’m sure . I feel like there’s a very great opportunity here,” said Guo Ran confidently .

“Then why do I feel such a sinister air? It looks like a tomb . ”

Looking at the huge mountain, he saw it was completely bare and black, without a single strand of gra.s.s . It was filled with a sense of decay . It didn’t seem at all like a treasure .

“It doesn’t just look like a tomb; it really is an ancient tomb,” said Guo Ran .

“You want to be a graverobber?” Long Chen was slightly surprised .

“Aiya! Boss, graverobber is such an ugly word! We’re just going in to study the ancient culture and explore the historical remains . Let me tell you boss, I’m sure there’s treasures inside here . I entered here before, but I was forced out by others . If I hadn’t run out fast enough, I would have ended up losing my life!” Guo Ran was somewhat indignant .

“You’ve already entered before?”

“Yup . Look, this is a rock I picked up from inside there . ” Guo Ran showed him a certain stone .

Receiving that stone, Long Chen couldn’t help being startled . This egg-sized stone was black and completely unremarkable . However, it had to weigh over a thousand pounds .

Then lightly squeezing, he found that it was extremely hard as well . Now that he had advanced to the Tendon Transformation realm, his physical strength was shocking . A light squeeze of his hand could easily crush steel .

But this unremarkable stone wasn’t damaged at all . Even as Long Chen increased his strength, there was not the slightest reaction!

“How is it? It’s something good, right? If I could purify the essence out of this, it would definitely make a good weapon!” exclaimed Guo Ran .

He could now count as a dabbler in forging arts . As an occupational disease, he was obsessed with these kinds of rare materials .

“It really is something good . ” Long Chen nodded . Although he didn’t know what the origin of this stone was, it was terrifyingly hard . If it was refined, it could make a terrifying weapon . However, this one piece was too small . Once it was refined, there wouldn’t be much left .

“Who were you forced out by? Have people already entered?” asked Long Chen .

“f.u.c.k, just thinking about it p.i.s.ses me off . I entered the earliest, and found that it was an extremely complicated set of caves . It should be the tomb of a shocking person from long ago .

“Not long after I had entered, I ended up walking in a circle . I ended up returning to the entrance, but on the way I also picked up this stone .

“At that time, quite a few monastery disciples appeared . As soon as those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds saw me, they told me to hand over the treasure .

“I said I had only just entered, and they believed me, as if I had really entered deeper, I wouldn’t have just dithered near the entrance .

“Since I didn’t have any treasure, they told me scram and wouldn’t let me stay in the caves . What do you say boss? Isn’t it infuriating? They acted like they owned the place .

“When I said I wouldn’t leave, the four of them ganged up on me . From their vicious att.i.tude, they definitely wanted my life!

“I couldn’t beat them, especially since one of them was a Favored, so I was forced out,” explained Guo Ran furiously .

“Ugh, give it up . You think I don’t know you? Stop acting like you suffered such a huge grievance . If you really were to bring out your true methods, I don’t believe you’d suffer any loss . Little fellow, get to the point . Is there a need for you to beat around the bush like this?”

Long Chen really did understand Guo Ran too well . Although his personal combat ability wasn’t high, that little fellow had studied all kinds of things, becoming crafty enough to take people’s lives; no, it should be said he had become wretched enough to take people’s lives .

Even Long Chen didn’t know how many life-preserving trump cards he had . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fought to get him a spot for the Jiuli secret realm .

“Hehe, boss really is boss . Nothing can hide in front of you . Yes, I deliberately left . But that doesn’t change the fact that they a.s.saulted me!” Guo Ran quibbled .

Long Chen’s expression was odd, and he looked at Guo Ran’s b.u.t.t, doubtfully asking, “a.s.sault? They wanted to screw you?”

“PFFT! Boss, you really are becoming more and more vulgar!” Guo Ran almost coughed up blood .

“Ok, let’s get down to business then . With boss here, we won’t have to put up with any more of this c.r.a.p, whether it’s from the Corrupt path or the Righteous path,” said Long Chen .

His voice was filled with confidence and a cold killing intent . After having heard that distant, ancient voice, Long Chen felt as if he no longer had any time to waste .

Although he couldn’t figure out where the voice came from, he sensed a huge crisis drawing close . He had to get stronger .

He didn’t have time to try to use smarts to resolve these troubles . The simplest, most direct, most effective way to resolve troubles was through martial might .

Those Righteous disciples were slowing down his cultivation speed, which was equivalent to getting Long Chen killed as well as killing the people beside him . He didn’t care whether they were part of the plot or whether they were misled . Anyone who wanted to kill his people only had one ending: death!

Hearing Long Chen’s words, Guo Ran’s heart shook . It seemed that after advancing to Tendon Transformation, Long Chen had gained some sort of indescribably domineering aspect that would make anyone feel reverence for him .
