The conversation with Phineas ended in a form that was extremely unpleasant. I don’t understand what she meant by those last words she said. Although it sounded like she was being sarcastic, how could a demon do such a boring thing?

　　Is it possible …… that there is something hidden in her words?

　　I can’t guess, and I don’t know which way to go.

　　After returning to my tent, I remembered the secret cave that Katrina mentioned, and immediately decided to go and explore it to see if I could get something useful. There’s no reason to just seal up what the Feathered Clan doesn’t use and not let others use it.

　　Feather rainbow is very good to deal with, let her continue in the box confinement, do not have to worry about her running away, and I myself wait for nightfall, which quietly left, rushed to that secret cave.

　　The location of the secret cave from the bears camp is not far, two or three miles only, but the Pai Li everywhere is a primitive forest, trees are intertwined, the old vine Bie Ye, some of the entrance to the cave a little hidden, if not know in advance, even if the entrance to walk on the ten times eight times will not be found, but also because of this, the beasts have always been convinced that the two thousand escaped Fei women warriors are still hiding nearby, the whole day full of mountains to search for.

　　But when I got to that valley, and used the Hyakki Maru to carve a path through the old vines and dry trunks to get into it, I probably understood a little bit why Katrina was having such a hard time talking about the location.

　　This place was clearly a large and already deserted orc graveyard. Hundreds of bumpy and undulating mounds were overgrown with weeds, vines curved and stretched, rotting logs were stuck diagonally into the earth, and in some of the graves that had already been damaged, white orc bones could still be seen, reflecting the cold moon’s clear light, which was a ghastly wind that made the hairs of the human sweat stand on end.

　　Feather tribe of this sealing secret cave, actually is located in a cemetery, this is said to be particularly dishonourable, no wonder Katrina difficult to say, I’m afraid that the feather tribe in the people do not know a few.

　　“Huh? Here …… shit!”

　　Instead of leisurely enjoying the scenery, I frantically searched for the entrance to the secret cave in a near race against time after taking a cursory look at the entire graveyard.

　　Although I have already trained the Beast King’s Fist to the fourth level, in terms of self-awareness, I still regard myself as a magical tutor more than a martial artist. After all, when a martial artist has to fight hard with people, for me who has never had much of a spirit of honour, it’s always easier to sneak cold arrows from a distance than to give people a head-on beating.

　　I may only be a third-rate crappy magician, but having already memorised the Succubus Grimoire and the Secret Book of Blood Nightmares, I have a knowledge of magical guidance that far exceeds my current level, and that keeps me from looking like a fool standing in the opening of the Underworld without realising it.

　　This cemetery has been deserted for many years, all kinds of signs show that it has not been visited for a long time, but in this huge valley, I did not hear half of the birdsong, insect chants, as if with the outside of the valley to form two worlds. But I did see a bunch of poisonous worms crawling among the corpses of the barren tombs …… This is enough to explain everything, this valley has become a place where the spirits of the dead are dominant, and no one should come near. Dead spirits vary in strength and weakness with species and pre-birth state, but they are usually very tricky. Even the most highly skilled monks would not want to confront dead spirits and zombies in a graveyard that could replenish yin qi from source to source. After all, it is easy to transcend one or two dead spirits, but when a large group of disembodied dead spirits come screaming in, with a large number of zombies beside them to help, fighting against the crowd is a good idea that will cause people to go to the afterlife earlier.

　　“Here it is! Found it ……”

　　Under the two birch trees that Katrina pointed out, I found the so-called entrance. It was an empty tomb, with a thick stone plate after digging up the earth, there was nothing special on it, but the magic fluctuation that was vaguely emanating from it had obviously been set up as a defence boundary.

　　“Damn woman, setting me up?”

　　It shouldn’t be, because even Katrina herself didn’t know this was the case, but I couldn’t help but blame her, because the rattling of the dirt at the rear, and the plummeting temperatures, told me I was running out of time.

　　There was nothing to be done but to take out the Hundred Demons Pill, and by virtue of the sharpness of the divine weapon, and then to increase the strength of the adamantine ape arm, to chop at the thick stone slab, hoping to be able to break the spell by force, or else he had to go back and break into a fight of nine deaths.

　　With the degree of importance the Feather Clan places on this secret cave, this should be a very powerful blockade boundary, not something that can be broken easily, and with my initial estimation, it would take at least the seventh level, or even the eighth level or higher, to be able to break through the entrance in a short period of time.

　　However, perhaps the power of the spell diminished after the death of the caster, and after so many years, the boundary could no longer function, and after I used the Hyakki-maru to slash more than ten times in a row on the tomb-sealing stone slab, a burst of red light flared out, and a ladder that stretched out into the depths of an unseen bottom appeared in front of me.

　　I rushed down without hesitation, and at the same time as my figure burrowed into the sheltering range of the red light, the mad shrill whistling of the Necromongers sounded behind me ……

　　Glad to have escaped, I took out a lighted object and walked down the steps in half darkness.

　　Entering one of the treasure caves to hunt for treasure seems to be the current must-have experience for all types of young warriors out on adventures. With a bit of luck, it may still be a frequent experience. In fact, tomb raiding is an industry that has always had a place on the rich and famous lists of nations.

　　Of course, getting rich by digging ancient tombs is definitely not something you can just buy a few shovels and pickaxes from an ironmonger’s shop, kick down the tombstones, and dig down hard with the iron tools. The first-class grave robbers are all the most outstanding boundary-breaking experts on the earth today, specialising in detecting the location of tombs in all kinds of protective boundaries, and breaking through the layers of prohibitions and mechanisms to obtain the treasures in the tombs.

　　The job doesn’t end when the treasure is retrieved; rather, the most difficult part of the job has just begun. Many tombs, in addition to the protective boundaries, will also put poison or curses on the buried treasures, so that after the grave robbers have gone through all the trouble of getting to the centre of the tomb, they will not be allowed to leave the tomb alive, and will become new burial objects.

　　This situation is most common in the tombs of great magicians or princes of various countries. Therefore, in addition to the ability to break the boundary, grave robbers must also be proficient in all kinds of mechanisms, earth and wood, antidotes, and curse-breaking techniques, in order to be able to return triumphantly from the tombs and boast to the living.

　　Based on the required skills, monks who practise sacred magic should be the most suitable part-time grave robbers, because removing boundaries, breaking curses, and dispelling poisons are originally the monks’ eating skills. Unfortunately, the monks have a god at the top of their heads, and harassing the dead to sleep in peace is something that will greatly damage their own cultivation after they do it, so in the end, it is the wizards who practise dark magic that stand out in this line of work.

　　Years of living in cemeteries, with all kinds of moving or not moving corpses, to find where the target tomb is, it is not difficult for these sorcerers, and often deal with the dead, they also have a certain immunity to poison and curses, so they have done a good job in the grave-robbing industry, I have heard of the first-class grave-robbing, most of the famous sorcerers, and a few are even well-known necromancers scholars.

　　However, these guys also have a strange quirk, that is, often after invading the tomb, to all kinds of expensive burial goods do not care, but all the corpses inside the transport out, with evil magic will be trained into their own command of the corpse slaves or undead warriors.

　　The fire-fold, held in my hand, glowed faintly in the darkness, and could not illuminate the space two feet in front of me; I did not know what I would see at the end of the steps later, but hoped with all my heart that it was not a great heap of corpses, and I was not at the moment in the mood to plunder gold and silver from the dead bodies, and still less did I wish those fellows to rise up and say thank you to me.

　　After about a quarter of an hour or so, the steps bottomed out, followed by another curving passage, and in terms of bearing and distance, I think I came to the cemetery directly below.

　　Immediately after that, the scenery ahead opened up, a vast crystal cavern, in the darkness blossomed with magnificent coloured light, hundreds of crystal pillars as high as a person, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, as if it was a fairyland like rainbow light, in this cavern bloomed and disappeared, everything was so beautiful that it didn’t seem to be the real world.

　　Mesmerised by the view, I stayed for some time until I saw my reflection in front of a crystal pillar, which brought me to my senses.

　　Looking upwards, the blackness was a rather hard disc of rock, not crystal. Since this place was not a crystal vein, where did such a pile of flawless crystals come from to turn this place into such a fairyland world?

　　If it wasn’t natural, it was man-made, and I was quick to find evidence to support this idea.

　　On the top of each stalagmite-shaped crystal pillar, there are eight or nine objects of different sizes inserted in it, some as big as a fist, some have the size of a head, the appearance is also very different, or round or square, some black like ink, some snow white like silk, and some covered with patches of pattern, in the crystal rainbow light, glittering brightly.

　　However, there is only one thing that these objects have in common, and that is the red characters written all over them that I can’t understand, but I can deduce that they must be the runes of beast magic, and that these objects are the eggs of various beasts and devils, and that they can be used and driven as long as a beast magic ceremony is performed and a contract is made with the beasts and devils inside them.

　　Regardless of the type of magic, there are some common physical criteria. Transparent crystals like crystals have the function of absorbing free energy from the surroundings and storing it, so placing the Beast Demon Eggs in it and connecting it with the earth’s chakra can ensure that the Beast Demon Eggs won’t wither and dry up.

　　There are two ways to train beast devils. Slaughtering creatures and using their corpses to train beast devils, although they have a very strong and vicious aura, when compared to their overall ability and progress, they are far inferior to beast devils hatched from eggs.

　　Hundreds of crystal stone pillars here, if there are ten beast devil eggs on each one, the entire cave is afraid that there are several thousand beast devils that have not concluded a contract, in other words, this crystal cave where the beast devil foetal eggs are stored is the real Feather Clan’s secret treasure ah.

　　Regardless of which beast race, as long as you can get this secret cave, must be on this to break the balance of power in the southern barbarians, if it falls in the hands of the snake race, then ……

　　I found a dozen or so beast demon eggs vaguely dripping with black smoke in the direction off to the east, remembering that Katrina had said that these might be the evil beast species that had been sealed by the order of the Phoenix Saintess in the first place, and that they might be the Sphinx Bird.

　　Perhaps I am being paranoid, but I just don’t believe that it is a mere coincidence that the Feathered Clan has located this Beast and Devil Depot underneath the graveyard. These evil beast eggs are still alive, apart from sucking in the earth’s essence, I’m afraid that they also absorb corpse energy from the graveyard above to nourish themselves, right?

　　Originally born in the darkness of the beast species, after the earth fire, corpse gas cultivation, will become a first-class powerful powerful evil. Legend has it that the Phoenix Heavenly Maiden is able to command twelve different kinds of beasts and devils, is each of them really so bright and righteous?

　　I just wonder why Katrina didn’t come to open the cave. Otherwise the Feathered Clan would be in possession of a powerful armoury, and the outcome of this battle could be reversed.

　　I didn’t know until later, Katrina became the master of the clan a few years ago, after learning the secret of this cave from the mouth of a dying elder, she once came to enter this beast demon egg warehouse, and got the fire bird beast demon she is now using, but at that time, except for her, the rest of the Feather Clan’s cultivation is not enough, and barely concluded the contract, will only be sucked into a dry corpse, and took the beast demon egg is useless, if the news leaked out, on the contrary, it will be a coveted target for the rest of beasts clan. If the news leaked out, it would become the target of the rest of the beasts, so she retreated.

　　Later, the building of the city in the Pai Li drift from place to place, no opportunity to come to this vicinity, until this recent time, Katrina estimate that the clan already has a lot of good hands, enough to withstand the burden of the beast demon host body, this is the location of the building of the city to move to, want to open the library, but how to know that only a short time after arriving, was surrounded by an army of orcs, there is no opportunity to come to this secret cave.

　　Although these beast demon eggs are valuable, they are completely useless to me who is not an orc, so I can only sigh in vain.

　　“Huh? What is that thing ……”

　　In the centre of the hundreds of crystal pillars, there was the largest crystal cylinder, but there were no beast demon eggs attached to the outside, instead, it was inside the pillar, as if it was sealed with something.

　　My curiosity got the better of me and I came closer to see, but it was a few sorts of wands, golden rings, rings and other magic weapons, sealed in the crystal pillars, swirling with seven coloured rainbow light; and in the centre around these magic weapons, apart from a few small magnetic bottles, was an ebony wooden box.

　　These things are certainly more useful to me than the Beast Demon Eggs, but they are just sealed in the Crystal Pillar, so I don’t know how to get them out, and after thinking for a moment, I decided to do it the old-fashioned way, and take the Hyakki Maru and cut it hard.

　　However, when I casually touched the crystal pillar, preparing to use my divine weapon to break the pillar to retrieve the object, my palm that touched the crystal pillar seemed to have touched a pool of icy water, and there was even a kind of inexplicable suction pulling me, causing me to be sucked into the crystal pillar without my own will.

　　(Oops! It’s a trap!)

　　This was the only thought in my head, if I was sucked into the fixation like this, I might be sealed inside the crystal pillar and become a living corpse that would not turn into a corpse for 10,000 years, so I hurriedly took advantage of the suction force that was still strong, but the crystal had not yet solidified, and desperately rushed forwards, hoping that I could rush out from the other side of the crystal.

　　Refusing to take a loss, I followed with a swing of my right hand as I charged forward, hoping to bring something out. With a heavy hand and a lightness in front of me, I stumbled and stumbled on my feet, nearly falling on my face, but recovered a small life and got out of the crystal pillar.

　　“What’s …… going on here?”

　　Although it was detached from the crystal pillar, the scene I saw in front of me was not half similar to the Secret Cave, it was another place altogether.

　　When I looked back, there was no crystal pillar. It was a high crystal mirror wall, clear and bright, shining with colourful rainbow light in the darkness, reflecting my figure clearly, but I couldn’t find those spells in it that I had just seen.

　　“What’s going on?”

　　Murmuring, I probably have a good idea in my mind that this is most likely some kind of spatial transfer facility, using the two crystals as a teleportation position to allow people to come across space. However, this is most likely something left over from the previous Phoenix Island period, with the current level of magic of the Feather Race, I doubt that they would be able to come up with this difficult spell formation that even the Kingdom of Alibuta couldn’t complete.

　　If I pass through this crystal wall, will I go back to the secret underground cave? I don’t know, and I don’t dare to try again, not to mention that it may not succeed, even if it succeeds, the secret cave is now surrounded by the dead, only to be gnawed by the zombies, how is it a dead end, it is better to find a way out from this side.

　　Look at the hand, grasping a small wooden box, that is just narrowly survived the trophies, only hate then waving hand speed is not fast enough, can not grab a few more things out.

　　The box was not locked, but was sealed by some kind of spell, and could not be opened for a while, but I was still very happy. This wooden box was not only placed in the Feather Clan’s secret cave, it was also specially protected with crystal stones, with the prosperity of Phoenix Island that day, this wooden box would receive such attention, what was sealed inside was of course top-notch exotic treasures, just imagining it made my palms feel hot.

　　Put the wooden box into my bosom, I took out the fire folders and lit them, walked along the wall, began to explore this unknown new environment, not a few times, actually let me touch a sheepskin lamp on the wall, obviously this is an artificial construction, not a natural cave, and at that moment lit the lamp.

　　“What the hell is this place again?”

　　Although it was an artificial building, it had no windows or doors, and the ground was covered with thick piles of hay. On each of these piles was a snow-white egg, totalling roughly forty to fifty in number, looking much the same as the Beast Demon eggs that he had just seen, but much larger, each egg was the size of a baby, and there were no red runes on the eggshells.

　　“What a rarity ……”

　　If it was a Beast Demon Master who practised making Beast Demons, he would probably be ecstatic about these Beast Demon Eggs, right? But I was not interested. This small wooden box in my arms alone should have been enough to make my trip worthwhile, and right now my mood was like a child who had grabbed a handful of sweets and just wanted to find a place where no one was around to enjoy them.

　　Walking along the wall, it didn’t take long to find a staircase going up, and that’s when it occurred to me that I couldn’t be in a basement, could I?

　　This idea was indeed correct. The higher I went, the more I felt this way, because the steps and the basement were extremely hidden, and it seemed that a number of protective organs had been set up to prevent intrusion from the outside, except that since I was directly transported inside, from the inside out, this was not half obstructed.

　　When the ladder is about to reach the end, I saw a secret door, around the connection of the fuse, and then a detailed examination, here is certainly buried a large amount of gunpowder, as long as the detonation, enough to destroy the entire ladder together with the chamber below, scared me hastily extinguish the fire, so as to avoid a moment of inadvertent bombing to the bones.

　　Suddenly, a thought swept through my mind and I nearly gasped out in shock, knowing where I was now.

　　The equipment of space teleportation, in the case of no one operating it, could not possibly send people too far, this place was definitely not more than a hundred miles from that secret cave, and how many man-made buildings were there within a hundred miles?

　　There is only one …… I am now in the underground of the city of Skiva Golgotha.

　　When Katrina was captured, she entrusted me with this place. When the Serpents slowly excavate to this place, not knowing the correct way to open the door, they will inevitably trigger the explosives, and blast these stupid things that don’t understand the situation up to the sky, and at the same time, they will also destroy the underground chamber, so that they will not be able to get the Beast Demon Eggs underneath, so that the enemy will not be able to get the Beast Demon Eggs underneath.

　　In fact, Katrina was wrong. She commissioned me to enter this secret passage after hearing the explosion and seeing the red smoke to destroy everything inside, but judging from the weight of the explosives, the underground chamber was already destroyed at the same time as the detonation, so where was the need for me to clean it up once again?

　　I just don’t know what kind of Beast Demon’s egg this is that makes Katrina so nervous? When she entrusted me with it, she even regarded it as more important than getting her out.

　　“Ugh, what a lack of conscience, the explosives are just loaded randomly, don’t you think about the people trapped inside?”

　　Because of these explosives, I had to carefully avoid the multiple fuses before I could open the secret door according to the technique Katrina had taught me. Fortunately, the top of this secret door wasn’t weighed down by any stones, so I gently pushed it, and quickly opened the door and went out.

　　The city of Skelvar Golgotha is now occupied by the Serpent Clan, and the danger is no less than that of the Valley of the Dead, so I pushed my way out of the door with my head held high, and my heart already prepared for a great killing spree.

　　However, it was obvious that the Snake Clan hadn’t cleared up here yet. On the day of the city’s destruction, the big explosion caused by Asuka destroyed many buildings in the city, and the ground was even more of a mess, making the search more difficult, and the Snake Clan refused to let other clans come in to divide the work, so many days had passed, and the clean-up progress was still poor, which is why this underground chamber had not been found.

　　Of the five towers that make up the city of Skeva, the white tower that I am in now is the main one, and originally the Great Sun Mirror was placed on the top of the white tower, but now I don’t know where it has been lost?

　　When I thought of Asuka, who disappeared in that big explosion, my emotions sank. After all, we’ve been together for a long time and we have feelings for each other. Recently, I’ve been thinking about Xue a lot, and I wonder how she’s doing at the moment. Will she be so unlucky as to be killed in the explosion?

　　Compared to Asuka, I don’t care about Violet at all. The fact that this dragon leopard, which should have been extinguished a long time ago, still exists is simply a big mistake from the heavens, and if it doesn’t make it out of the explosion, I have nothing to say but pity for its fur.

　　Compared to the bustling scene inside the building in the past, the current situation was as cold as a ruin. The White Building itself hadn’t suffered much damage from the explosion, and the overall building was largely intact, but if the Serpent Clan’s promise was correct, there shouldn’t be half a Feathered Clan member left in the entire Skelvarge Building.

　　The moment I stepped out of the dark door, I moved to detonate the gunpowder and destroy all the Beast Demon eggs down there, but in the end, I still gave up.

　　Recalling the heavy expression on Katrina’s face when she entrusted me that day, these Beast Demon Eggs might be even more important than I thought, and not doing this worst action until the last moment. After all, it would be too late to regret it once it’s ruined. Besides, the sound of the explosion attracted the Snake Clan, and it would be even more difficult for me to escape.

　　Originally only intended to go to the feather clan secret cave to explore the situation, completely did not think that now will fall into such a dilemma, the equipment on my body appears to be insufficient, if the snake clan found out, the consequences are really unimaginable.

　　The only thing worth celebrating was that the Beast King’s Fist Power in his body was still abundant, and this stone hat on his head was still intact, I don’t know how effective it would be against the Snake Race, if he could retreat in one piece without fighting, this would be the upper hand.

　　I was searching for a way to escape, when suddenly a long, miserable cry caused me to stop my movements and look up.

　　It was heard clearly, it was a cry of grief that came from a woman. But at this moment, the only women within the city of Skiva Gloria should be the Serpent Clan, so why would they suffer misfortune in their own land? Could it be that ……

　　The three major beast clans had always suspected that the Snake Clan had stolen and hidden up the female captives and had not completely handed them over, and demanded to enter the building city to search for them.

　　Although both sides understood that this was merely an excuse, if there was evidence, the whole thing would be completely different, and the three beast clans that accused the other party of reneging on their promise in the first place could categorically take strong measures.

　　Stirring up both sides of the struggle was the only thing I could do, and for the sake of this beautiful vista, I took a risk and moved towards the source of the screams.

　　I was unfamiliar with the structure of the white building, and I didn’t dare to run loudly, so I couldn’t move very fast. The floor of the corridor was covered with layer after layer of shiny white slime, as if it had been waxed, with a pungent and fishy odour that made people want to vomit, which was the proof that a large number of snakes had been travelling here repeatedly.

　　“Ahh …… mmmmmmmm …… yummy, yummy ……”

　　I was hampered by these slippery things, my speed was even slower, and along the way, I listened with my ears, but I didn’t hear any more screams, but rather a gasp and moan of satisfaction in the midst of coital ecstasy. The voice sounds definitely more than one person, my heart pounding, secretly wondering whether the front will appear promiscuous banquet scene.

　　Within a few steps, a light appeared in front of me, and I just wanted to go through, but I found five giant pythons spitting and bending, curling up their bodies and blocking the walkway, so if I wanted to pass through, I had to go through them.

　　I would like to go back, but found that the five pythons obviously eyes towards me in this direction, but as if nothing can not see like, oblivious. I can’t imagine that the stone hat has such a divine effect, I am bold and strong, convergence of their own breath, a small step by small step to move over, do not dare to emit half a bit of sound.

　　Whenever I pass by a giant python, my heart is actually quite fearful, although these giant pythons do not know how to think, and do not know what magic, but each body is as thick as a man’s thigh, more than ten feet in length, if they are wrapped around their bodies, the lethality of the killing power of a good martial arts player is not inferior to a blow.

　　Fortunately, although they seemed to sense something each time I passed, and their tongues spat faster, they eventually curled back up with nothing to show for it, allowing me to pass without incident.

　　Through the five big snakes, the front lights suddenly brightened, and it was the main hall in the centre of the ground floor of the White House, where a carnal feast was being staged just as it was suspected before.
