Chapter 121 Mysterious Cave
"snort!"
Seeing Jin Huang's lapdog-like appearance, Shi An snorted and then said nothing more. Instead, he turned his sharp gaze to the giant beasts that were besieging Jin Huang.
The Fiery Python was the first to be attacked, its fiery red scales gleaming with a terrifying light in the sunlight. The other giant beasts also displayed their ferocity, seemingly unafraid of Shi An's arrival.
"Zhurong!"
As Shi An spoke softly, a phantom of a demon god burst out from his cave and swiftly attacked the flaming python and the other giant beasts.
As soon as the phantom of Zhurong appeared, a scorching heat filled the air, as if a true god of fire had descended. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be ignited, with waves of heat rolling in, and even space itself seemed to be distorted by the heat.
This scene caused the ancient beasts to retreat in terror.
Even the Flame Python at the Inscription Realm involuntarily retreated a few steps in the face of such a situation, letting out a low roar, its fiery red scales trembling. Clearly, even it felt an unprecedented threat.
But it was unwilling to give in.
"roar!"
Sure enough, in just a moment, it let out an angry roar, and scorching flames spewed from its mouth in an attempt to block the attack of the demon god's phantom.
Unfortunately, the phantom of Zhurong remained unmoved, carrying world-destroying power as it charged fiercely towards the Flame Python.
Seeing this, the other giant beasts also let out deafening roars, attempting to resist this irresistible force with their numerical advantage.
Shi An stood still, his expression calm, as if everything was under his control.
"How ridiculous and overconfident!"
Shi An sneered, then manipulated the illusory image of Zhu Rong to launch a fierce attack on the Flame Python and other giant beasts.
"boom!"
Amidst the deafening roar, trees flew, dust billowed, and the entire battlefield was instantly engulfed in raging flames.
Upon seeing this, Jin Huang was both surprised and delighted.
It had only been two short years since they last met, yet its master's strength had increased dramatically. In an instant, Jin Huang's awe of Shi An grew even stronger.
Flames raged across the battlefield. Every strike from Zhu Rong carried earth-shattering power. The giant beasts were defeated in front of it, and some were even directly swallowed by the scorching flames and turned to ashes.
Even the Flame Python, which had reached the Inscription Realm, was powerless against Zhu Rong and was ultimately severely injured, lying on the ground unable to move.
"Master, you are incredibly strong!"
Upon seeing this, Jin Huang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, his words filled with worship.
Unfortunately, Shi An ignored it, and simply walked quietly to the Fiery Python, delivered the final blow, and then collected its remains.
This is the meat of a ferocious beast at the Inscription Realm! Taking it back for our clansmen to eat will definitely bring them a lot of improvement.
Thinking this, Shi An then coldly looked at Jin Huang and said, "Alright, take us to that cave!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Huang immediately responded, and then his figure blurred, transforming into the size of a colt: "Please come up, Master and Mistress, I will take you there now."
"Lord... Mistress..."
Upon hearing Jin Huang address her as "Mistress," Yun Xi's fair face, as white as the moon, flushed crimson.
However, she did not refute him, but instead jumped up and sat down behind Shi An.
Feeling Yunxi's light figure land on his back, Shi An's lips unconsciously curled up, and an indescribable tacit understanding and warmth flowed between the two.
He didn't say much, but simply patted Jin Huang's back gently, signaling them to set off.
"Alright!"
Jin Huang immediately responded excitedly, and then his four hooves sped up, instantly transforming into a golden lightning bolt, weaving through the forest path and rushing towards the location of the mysterious cave.
Along the way, Jin Huang sped along at lightning speed, a bit faster than usual, as if he were making amends for his previous mistakes with concrete actions.
On his back, Yunxi gently wrapped her arms around Shi An's waist, pressing against his broad back. Feeling Shi An's strong heartbeat and the warmth coming from behind, she felt an unprecedented sense of security welling up in her heart.
She raised her head slightly, her gaze gently falling on Shi An's strong shoulders and back, thinking to herself: Perhaps this is the peace and reliance she has always been seeking.
As Jin Huang sped along, the surrounding scenery unfolded like a painting. Soon, the two people and the beast arrived at a secluded valley. The entrance to the valley was hidden by dense vegetation, and it would be difficult for outsiders to find this place without Jin Huang's guidance.
Jin Huang slowed down and finally stopped, turning back to look at Shi An with anticipation in his eyes: "Master, Mistress, this is it."
"Um!"
Shi An nodded, then jumped down first. After landing steadily, he turned around and reached out to catch Yun Xi who had jumped down. Their eyes met in the air, as if they could understand each other without saying a word.
Yunxi blushed slightly, thanked him softly, and then stood side by side with Shi An, looking towards the valley.
"Is this the mysterious cave?"
Yunxi murmured softly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.
The valley was shrouded in mist, faintly revealing an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
"The spiritual energy fluctuations here are unusual; something is definitely hidden here."
Shi An nodded, and then a wave of spiritual energy spread out, clearing a path leading to the cave.
Let's go!
He then gestured for Yunxi and Jinhuang to follow, and they cautiously stepped into this unknown land.
As you venture deeper, the scenery within the valley becomes increasingly bizarre.
Ancient trees reach for the sky, their branches and leaves are lush, and sunlight shines through the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows.
The air is filled with a faint scent of herbs, and you can occasionally hear the babbling of a stream in the distance, just like a paradise.
"Could the cave be deep within this dense forest?" Yunxi asked softly, her tone tinged with uncertainty.
After a long while, the two people and the beast finally discovered an ancient cave hidden by vines and boulders.
The cave entrance is marked by the passage of time, yet one can still sense the mysterious power it contains.
"Looks like this is it."
Shi An whispered, then went in first, followed closely by Yun Xi and Jin Huang.
The entrance is small, allowing only one person to pass at a time, and the interior is even more winding and secluded.
But strange runes occasionally flicker on the stone wall, illuminating the path ahead.
The two people and the beast ventured deeper and deeper, and soon arrived at a spacious cavern.
In the center of the cave, on a blue stone platform engraved with various ancient runes and emitting a faint glow, lies a strange plant.
Its leaves are like jade, its flowers like flames, and it emits a faint fragrance. A powerful vitality emanates from it, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"This is... a sacred medicine!"
Yunxi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with shock.
With a solemn expression, Shi An slowly approached the bluestone platform and carefully examined the strange plant.
He could sense that the life force contained within the plant was almost tangible, as if it could communicate with heaven and earth and draw upon the power of nature.
"Indeed, it is a sacred medicine, and of superior quality."
Looking at the plant, Shi An chuckled and then prepared to pick it.
"roar!"
Just as he was about to reach out and pick it, a deafening roar suddenly accompanied a powerful pressure that came from the depths of the cave, causing the entire cavern to tremble.
