As the pair followed Uncle Chen, Chengfeng noticed the countless rat holes in the cave walls “Uncle Chen, how did you sustain yourself in the cave for so long? Did you eat rats or?”
Uncle Chen snorted, “Yep, these rats are cunning and agile, they aren't easy to catch! Furtherarbage of a meal!”
Chengfeng forced a laugh “No wonder they're so afraid of you You've eaten so s”
Uncle Chen laughed in response, but there was a pain to it, as if indicating an indescribable suffering “For fifty years, fifty years I've eaten these rats I'ht thousand of them Of course they'd be terrified of me!”
As they exited the cave and entered another tunnel, Chengfeng noticed the walls hadthe e Upon closer inspection, the sest one was as huge as a corn
This greatly excited Chengfeng as he wanted to collect these crystals He began to ready himself to mine the crystals
But he suddenly reer crystals are located in the deeper sections of shi+wu Mountain, but no one dared to go down to the deeper sections Everyone ent too deep… was never seen again
Chengfeng looked over to Uncle Chen's back, and he began to suspect so's amiss
Suspicion of this kind is like a seed dropped in the fertile soil in spring As long as the opportunity is given, it will thrive rapidly
Chengfeng followed Uncle Chen through the stone path, and soon found thee stone cave The spirit crystals in this cave weren't densely packed, but they were scattered throughout the cave Each of theest Chengfeng had ever seen It was even nicer than the ones he saw before
In the ing branches The tree was filled with red fruits Behind the tree was a pool of cerulean water, illuht The waters were still, it resembled a sapphire
Uncle Chen walked towards the tree and leaned against its trunk to rest “You guys will be of great help for et us out of here!”
“What if we can't find the sword?” Chengfeng asked cautiously
“Then the both of you can accompany irl, surely that'll !” Uncle Chen said with a guffaw, leaning against the tree
Chengfeng's heart sank He thought, 'This is a trap! For fifty years, this old man couldn't find the sword, what makes him think that the both of us can find it immediately?'
Chengfeng fell silent, trying to comprehend the situation Yuehan stared at the fruits on the tree She stretched her hand out and picked one off She asked, “Uncle Chen, is this edible?”
“Of course!”
Yuehan wiped the fruit with her sleeves As she was about to take a bite, Chengfeng quickly grabbed her hand to stop her He shook his head, without uttering a word
Yuehan was confused by Chengfeng's actions She wrote on Chengfeng's pal?'
Chengfeng replied by writing on Yuehan's palm, 'Don't eat it There were so many fruits on the tree, if the fruits were truly edible, the tree would've been picked clean ages ago So!'
Yuehan's eyes greide She looked over towards Uncle Chen, and Chengfeng nodded Chengfeng brought Yuehan towards the side of the tree He wrote on her palm, 'When Uncle Chen entered the cave, he immediatelyThis isn't right I noticed so over there, do you see it?'
Yuehan's eyes followed Chengfeng's finger, which pointed towards a cave entrance behind the tree In that cave… was a massive pile of bones!
