Chapter 395: Chapter 387 Exploring the Branching Path_1

Bubbles kept emerging from beneath, making the lava form pockets that then burst.

It was as if a group of mischievous children were hiding under the lava, blowing bubbles incessantly.

Qin Niu had not easily entered this place, and naturally, he searched everywhere in hope of discovering some natural treasures.

Whether it was him or his wives and concubines at home, they all greatly needed some big opportunities to help them with their early accumulation of power. As long as one person advanced to the level of Immortal Master, the path of cultivation for their entire family would become much easier.

As of now, they were still too weak

They even lacked the means to access real cultivation resources.

Whether it be spells, magical treasures used by Immortal Masters, or even high-level Cultivation Techniques and Immortal Pills, they were all out of reach.

They knew only a little of the many cultivation basics known to Immortal Masters.

As the head of the family, Qin Niu had to assume the role of a guide.

He was the sole reliance of his wives and concubines.

“Lazy Bull, why must you drag me to explore deeper?”

Qin Niu asked Green Ox.

“Moo!”

Its response had let Qin Niu thoroughly understand the true meaning of “talking past each other.”

Because of the language barrier, it was very difficult to communicate with Green Ox.

Qin Niu also wondered if Green Ox was just too young?

After all, he could communicate more smoothly with the Red-eyed Golden Toad and the Diamond Ink Turtle.

Even though he didn’t understand animal language, having formed a mental contract with Green Ox, they could easily communicate through their souls.

The current situation was such that Green Ox could understand what he said, but he couldn’t understand Green Ox.

Having no other choice, Qin Niu could only continue to explore forward following Green Ox.

The air became even hotter, and he started to sweat profusely.

To reduce the injury from high temperatures, he had no choice but to circulate his Cultivation Technique, channeling it into his King Pig Leather Armor, forming a thin layer of protective aura.

Although this aura layer was thin, it had the capabilities to insulate heat, provide defense, and shield from toxic gases.

Fortunately, his Everlasting Spring Technique had already reached the peak of the initial stage of the Innate Realm.

While his Cultivation Technique wasn’t incredibly profound, it would at least allow him to hold out a little longer in such a perilous environment.

After activating the protective aura of King Pig Leather Armor, another benefit was that it could fend off those annoying Giant Fire Bees.

His termites couldn’t withstand high temperatures, and in this environment, only Fourth and some Grade Four Puppet Ants could hold on.

A man and an ox moved forward and after about two hundred meters or so, the cave branched into two paths.

One was very narrow, with the ground full of scalding hot lava that occasionally bubbled up. The other seemed a bit wider, with some black rocks that hadn’t melted, offering a place to step, but it felt dangerous.

The main path in front turned spirally deeper into the ground.

For the time being, some narrow black rocky surfaces were still available for walking.

“Lazy Bull, I’ll go explore that narrow branch path.”

Qin Niu estimated that the width of the branch path was at most not more than two meters, with the narrowest sections being even less than one meter.

The ground was full of scalding hot lava, unsuitable to step on, but he could use his hands and feet to brace against the walls of the tunnel to move forward.

Green Ox watched as Qin Niu leaped directly, and with a few bounds, he reached the narrow branch path.

Then, using his hands and feet, he braced himself against the walls of the tunnel to advance.

After moving forward about eighty or ninety meters, Qin Niu reached the end of this branch path.

At the end, bright red lava was spewing forth like a “spring’s eye.”

After exerting so much effort to come here, he found no treasures.

He had no choice but to exit the branch path.

Feeling somewhat unwilling to let it go, he turned to look at the other branch path.

This path had places to stand, but it was also not very spacious, and Green Ox would probably have a hard time getting in.
