Zhang Che beckoned the patrolling Purple Jade Condor down from the sky to wait for further instructions by the side.
He looked down and found a fist-sized rock, aiming it at the deep, dark hole under the cliff and threw it with all his strength.
Wuu…
Zhang Che was so frighteningly strong that the rock he threw out actually whistled sharply.
The rock flew into the cave at lightning speed. After about three seconds, Zhang Che heard a dull sound from the cave. It seemed like it finally struck the wall inside.
"Is this for real? This cave is actually over a hundred meters long?!"
Zhang Che was taken aback. He estimated that the rock he threw out probably flew at over fifty meters per second, and it flew for about three seconds before hitting an obstacle. The depth of this cave was truly a little shocking.
The hundred or so meters was definitely not the true depth of this cave. It only meant that the length of this straight tunnel from the front of the cave was about a hundred meters long.
Most caves weren't straight all the way in. God knows how much further the cave went, including all the twists and turns.
Of course, it might also be an extremely rare situation whereby the cave was actually an extremely wide area, like the body of the mountain being hollowed out.
Without going in to take a look for himself, Zhang Che could only make guesses on his part.
"Should I go in to take a look?" Zhang Che was very curious about this cave, feeling the urge to explore it.
He threw such a big rock into the cave and there still wasn't any commotion from inside. There probably wouldn't be any danger in there.
However, to be on the safe side of things, Zhang Che decided to wait a little more, while he gathered some dried leaves and branches, crafting them into a simple torch.
The cave was pitch black; Zhang Che didn't think he could see much in there. It was too dangerous wIthout a tool to light up the area.
By the time Zhang Che was done making his one-meter-long torch, there still wasn't any commotion in the cave. It seemed safe.
Even so, Zhang Che felt that it would be better to act cautiously.
---
He first brought the Purple Jade Condor back into his spiritual sea, then summoned the Fiery Scorpion and Wind Shadow Wolf to scout the way for him, while he held the torch and walked into the cave.
After entering the cave, Zhang Che realized that the situation in here was very different from what he expected.
The cave was very spacious, but it wasn't the kind that was empty.
The further he walked in, the wider the cave became, so much so that it could fit a heavy-duty truck. He discovered the first turn after walking about a hundred meters in.
The rock Zhang Che threw in earlier was currently lying on the ground where the turn was, shown clearly by the torch's flame.
-Should I continue further?- Zhang Che hesitated for two seconds, and decided to continue.
The commotion caused by the rock throwing was loud enough; if there were really any powerful exotic beasts in the cave, it would have come rushing out long ago. It was impossible for them to be smart enough to lie quietly in wait for prey to walk right into their trap.
Since the interior of the cave was so spacious, Zhang Che decided to summon both the Purple Jade Condor and the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon as well. If there was any danger, these two could still exhibit a fraction of their strength, ensuring his safety to a larger degree.
Zhang Che advanced about two hundred meters further into the cave, following the twists and turns, when the cave suddenly widened. It actually turned out to be a huge karst cave!
Countless stalactites were hanging from the top of the cave, with water droplets slowly dripping off of them, forming a huge lake in the inner part of the cave.
Judging from the appearance of the lake, it was probably normal water. There wasn't any of the legendary ten-thousand-year stalactite essence to be found; bad luck!
Zhang Che pursed his lips, ready to turn around and leave this empty cave when the corner of his eyes suddenly noticed a stalk of a peculiar plant growing on the stone wall to the side.
"Hm? Will there really be a fortuitous encounter here after all?" Zhang Che blinked, his heart thumping heavily.
He surmised that the group of Dark-Scaled Lizards were probably guarding this thing.
Thus, Zhang Che jogged over to the stone wall happily, illuminating the peculiar stalk of plant with the torch and looking at it carefully.
The plant was only as big as a palm, its appearance that of a stem tuber plant, entirely creamy-white in color. It resembled a thick bamboo whip, with short and thin hairs growing on it.
Unlike its stem tuber body, these concentrated hairs were faint greenish-purple in color. It was exactly due to these hairs' striking color that Zhang Che noticed it from a few dozen meters away.
"This thing looks really weird. God knows if it's a spiritual herb."
Zhang Che didn't try to touch this strange plant casually. If there was something weird with this thing, wouldn't he fall victim to it?
Zhang Che brought the fire closer, waving it around the plant. The air current caused by the flames made the greenish-purple hair sway slightly, like how humans' hair would sway in a breeze.
Seeing as this thing didn't seem to be dangerous, Zhang Che took out a twig from his makeshift torch, carefully bringing it closer to the plant. Just as the twig made contact with the plant, the peculiar plant suddenly turned into a bunch of ash and fell, like a sand model falling apart.
"This… the hell? What just happened?"
Zhang Che was baffled. Was that thing made of paper? No, even if it was made of paper, it wouldn't fall apart so easily!
There must be a reason behind an oddity. Zhang Che immediately grew wary, hurriedly taking a few steps back. However, he didn't notice any danger looming.
Right at this moment, a faint dark golden glow suddenly shone on the other side of the pond. Together with the source of light in Zhang Che's hand, the entire cave became much brighter.
Zhang Che quickly turned to look, but he only saw that the light source seemed to originate from under the water, with no clue as to what was emitting it.
"Could this be the birth of a heavenly treasure?"
Zhang Che had never heard of such things happening in the beast world. While he was feeling suspicious about this, the dark golden glow suddenly grew and shrank, finally disappearing in the blink of an eye. Following which, a ferocious-looking exotic beast suddenly broke out from the water's surface, jumping out of the water.
Zhang Che immediately came to a realization. This wasn't the birth of a heavenly treasure, but the exotic beast had successfully completed its evolution under the water!
The creamy white stem tuber on the stone wall was only the stem of a spiritual herb. It went without saying that its essence was eaten by the ferocious beast before his eyes, facilitating its advancement.
The body of water, which Zhang Che had originally thought to be an ordinary pond, might not be so normal, after all. It must contain some beneficial minerals in it. Otherwise, why would the exotic beast choose to complete its advancement in there?
Innumerable thoughts flashed across Zhang Che's mind clearly, analyzing everything he had seen since entering this cave.
Sisisi…
The ferocious exotic beast was enraged when it realized its nest was intruded upon just as it completed its advancement. Its figure blurred, pouncing towards Zhang Che!
