The crack split open and the stone door began to sway, as if it would collapse with a gentle push. The four of them hurriedly stopped when they saw this.
Shen Xuan slid down the thick rope and finally stopped at the bottom. He could vaguely see a platform below and there were a few figures busying themselves on the platform.
"There's actually a cave abode here!" Shen Xuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the cave dwelling behind the platform. Both of his hands gripped the rope tightly as he slowly leaned to the side. His current position was too exposed. As long as those people turned their heads slightly, they would be able to see him.
From what he could sense, these people were at least one star Dou Shi. The leader of the large men had already reached the strength of a three star Dou Shi or even higher.
He only heaved a sigh of relief when he leaned against the crevice of the rock beside him. He tidied up the weeds in front of him before continuing to look down with satisfaction.
"Looking at the clothes and badges on these people, they should be from the Green River Mercenary Company in Green River Town. What are they doing here?”Shen Xuan lowered his head and thought for a moment before suddenly looking at the stone door.
Having lived in this small town for so many years, he had naturally heard of many people who had unintentionally obtained the inheritance of their predecessors, causing their strength to soar. Could it be that this cave abode in front of him was also left behind by their predecessors?
If this was really the case, it was likely that the things within were extraordinary. At the very least, there was the existence of a Qi Method or Dou Technique!
Looking at Shen Xuan's eyes that were gradually becoming fiery hot, Elder Shi suddenly laughed and said,""What, you still want to take that cave abode? Those people are obviously not weak, and they are not good people. With your strength, you will only be courting death if you go!”
Hearing this, Shen Xuan's expression froze. Elder Shi was right. With his strength, it was useless for him to go. He could return to the group to look for the person, but once he found the person, most of the things inside had nothing to do with him…
His brows were tightly furrowed. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He smiled at Elder Shi and said,"Teacher, with your current strength, you should have no problem dealing with them, right? I think…"
"Hey, you brat, don't have any ideas about me. Since you want to do this kind of thing yourself, don't expect my help!”Elder Shi rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
" Teacher…" Shen Xuan's expression stiffened. He was about to speak when he saw that the few of them had already pried open the stone door and carefully walked inside.
"Hehe, they have already taken action. It's up to you whether you go or not. Let me remind you, if you go late, you won't even get the leftovers!”Elder Shi said with a teasing smile, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Shen Xuan clenched his teeth and looked at the four people who had disappeared through the stone door. He immediately made up his mind and loosened his hand before he gently landed on the platform.
"F * ck, let's go in and take a look first. If there really is any treasure, I will snatch it. I don't believe they have the guts to chase after my Hunter Mercenary Group!”Shen Xuan lowered his head and cursed in his heart. Immediately, he carefully moved into the cave dwelling.
The moment he entered the cave dwelling, a cold aura assaulted his face. The interior was not spacious. The slightly narrow passage seemed to have been dug up temporarily. The ground was full of potholes. With the light from the cave entrance, it was impossible to see what was inside.
He leaned against the wall of the cave at the side and carefully followed a few dozen feet behind. At the same time, he lowered his footsteps and could only vaguely see a few blurry figures in front of him.
Chi!
The four of them groped their way into the cave slowly. One of them took out a lighter and blew on it. With the dim light of the fire, they could barely see the scene inside the cave.
The place they were in seemed to be a long and narrow passage. However, it seemed to be a little wider a few hundred feet ahead. It was probably the core of this cave abode. There was nothing else in the cave, so it seemed a little empty.
Thinking that there might be treasures inside, the four of them were clearly a little excited and unconsciously quickened their pace.
"Be careful!" Elder Shi suddenly shouted. His voice was like thunder that exploded in Shen Xuan's mind. The latter was startled, but he quickly regained his senses. He immediately became vigilant and carefully looked around.
"Get down!" Elder Shi shouted again. The latter did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly listened to Elder Shi's instructions to lie on the ground, not daring to breathe loudly.
At the same time, the stone under the feet of the four people in front suddenly trembled, followed by a sharp whistling sound. They could vaguely see some things flashing with cold light in the stone room in front of the passage, flying towards them at an extremely terrifying speed.
"There's a trap! Be careful!"
Boss was the first to react. When he saw the dense cold light whistling over, his scalp immediately went numb. After letting out a violent cry, his body quickly pounced on the ground beside him.
When the other three heard their leader's shout, their expressions changed drastically. Second Brother quickly lay on the ground, while the other two were not so lucky. In an instant, two arrows were inserted into their shoulders.
"Ah!"
The two of them let out a miserable cry and quickly moved their bodies to the side. After which, they also lay on the ground. Only after all the arrows had passed did they softly groan.
"How did it go?" The boss climbed up from the ground. He frowned as he looked at the two people who had been shot by the arrows. After which, he gritted his teeth and directly pulled the arrows off their shoulders. At the same time, he circulated his Dou Qi and healed the two of them.
The two of them gritted their teeth and only recovered after a long while. They smiled bitterly and said,"Fortunately, this arrow is not poisonous. Otherwise, we would have suffered a huge loss. Although it wasn't poisonous, he probably wouldn't be able to make a move for the time being.”
"Damn it, you've been dead for so many years and you're still acting up!”The boss cursed under his breath.
……
Behind him, Shen Xuan also slowly crawled up from the ground. His head was covered in cold sweat. If not for Elder Shi's reminder, the current him would probably be even more unlucky than the other two.
After all, the speed of these arrows was too fast. Even an elite Dou Shi would have difficulty dodging them, let alone someone like him who was only a five star Dou Zhe.
"Be more careful in the future. If I wasn't around, you wouldn't know how many times you would have died for being so rash!”Elder Shi coldly snorted and said.
"Disciple has learned!" Shen Xuan nodded his head. His gaze also became solemn as he slowly moved towards the stone room. The four people in front of him had clearly learned their lesson after this incident. All of them became cautious, afraid that such a mechanism would appear again.
There was another stone door outside the stone room, but it was ajar. The four of them carefully observed the surroundings. Finally, the boss walked forward and pushed open the stone door nervously.
"Boom!"
The stone door smashed into the ground with a loud bang after being pushed by the boss. Dust flew everywhere. Only when the dust dispersed could they see what was inside.
The stone chamber looked empty, and there was nothing around it. With the help of the dim fire, one could barely see a wooden shelf at the end of the stone chamber. There were some medicinal herb-like things on it.
The four of them clearly did not pay attention to the wooden shelf. Instead, their gazes stopped on a stone platform beside the wooden shelf. There was only a pitch-black scroll on the stone platform. However, when their gazes came into contact with the scroll, they instantly became passionate.
"There is actually a Qi Method and Dou Technique!”The boss stared at the pitch-black scroll. After a while, a hint of ecstasy immediately surged out of his face.
"Hehe, Boss, we've made a huge profit this time!”The second brother laughed. Qi Methods and Dou Techniques were not inferior to some Spiritual Medicines and Medicinal Pills on this continent. In fact, they were even more valuable.
The scroll in front of them did not appear to be of a low grade. Even if it was a Huang class Dou Technique or Qi Method, it was enough for them to earn a fortune.
"And those things!" The boss grinned. He did not immediately take the scroll away. Instead, he pouted his mouth in the direction of the wooden shelf and said.
Shen Xuan hid behind the stone door. He extended his mind and looked at everything at the door. Naturally, he also saw the scroll. Immediately, he inhaled a deep breath of air. If that scroll was really a Dou Technique, it would undoubtedly be a blessing from the heavens to him.
The Dou Technique that he currently possessed that he could take out was merely the Heavenly Dragon Shakes. Moreover, he was unable to practice the Nine Heavens Clear Cloud Verdict for a while. Hence, if he was able to obtain a Dou Technique that he could take out, it would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger.
"Are we going to snatch it or not?"
His mind quickly thought about it. If he snatched it, it would be fine if he succeeded. If he failed, he would end up in a desperate situation. If he didn't snatch it, he wouldn't be willing to part with the extremely tempting scroll.
"Among those four people, two of them have already lost their fighting strength. In that case, it is an excellent opportunity…"
"Damn it, I'm going all out!" Shen Xuan cursed in a low voice and clenched his fists. His eyes were fixed on the four figures not far away. Taking advantage of the fact that they were not paying attention, he slowly slipped into the stone room and hid in a corner of the group.
"Hmm?" The boss seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to look. However, when he saw that there was nothing at the stone door, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Am I being paranoid?" With this thought in mind, the boss walked forward and wanted to keep the scroll. However, before his hand could touch the scroll, a black shadow flashed by. At the same time, the scroll disappeared in an instant.
After the black shadow snatched the scroll, he flew out of the stone door. By the time the four of them reacted, the black shadow had already run out of the stone door.
"Damn it, where did this damn thing come from? How dare you snatch my things? Are you tired of living?”The boss's expression changed, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. He did not hesitate and quickly chased after them.
Only then did the three people behind him react. Fury surfaced in their eyes as they followed closely behind.
Shen Xuan did not pause after snatching the scroll. He did not care about anything else and swiftly ran out of the stone room. After all, there were several Dou Shi class experts chasing after him. One of them had even reached the three star Dou Shi class.
Any one of these people was not someone he could fight against now. Therefore, he could only keep running for his life. He believed that these people would not have the courage to chase after him when he reached the town.
