The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

The pit was more than a hundred feet deep. When the two reached the bottom, Matthew saw more than a dozen cave entrances.

Every cave entrance has the aura left by monks or monsters.

"Take the one on the far right." Bao Ya said calmly, pointing to the hole on the right.

After saying that, he walked over directly. Seeing this, Matthew had no choice but to follow.

Entering the cave, Matthew found that the ground under his feet had become a little slippery, so he had no choice but to pour some mana on his feet to keep himself balanced.

Because Bao Ya is in the body of a beast, she doesn't need to be so troublesome.

There are many forks in the cave, and Bao Ya seems to know the route in advance. Every time she comes to a fork in the road, she leads Matthew in directly.

After walking around for a while, the two of them came to a small cave.

In the corner of the cave grew a gray grass that was as tall as a foot long.

From the appearance, there is nothing unusual about this grass.

But after Bao Ya saw this grass, her face immediately showed joy.

Without any hesitation, he took out a dagger, cut off the gray grass, and put it in a wooden box.

"I'm lucky, I met a Jiazi grass not long after I came in." Bao Ya, who was in a good mood, said with a chuckle.

It was also the first time that Matthew saw the real Jia Zicao, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times when Bao Ya took action.

To say that I have no interest in this thing is definitely a lie.

If it could be refined into Jiazi Dan, it would increase one Jiazi's lifespan out of thin air after taking it. Anyone who saw this would be jealous.

But Matthew knew that compared to the fragments, the japonicum was nothing.

With the harvest of a Jia Zicao, Bao Ya also obviously sped up.

However, they walked for several hours without encountering a single grass.

Although Matthew was following Bao Ya, his mind was constantly contemplating the fragments of the Heavenly Thunder Technique he had received from Li Mu.

He really wanted to understand it thoroughly as soon as possible and learn the secret techniques inside.

Bao Ya didn't care at all that Matthew didn't speak during the whole journey.

"You go to the left, I'll go to the right, speed up." When they came to the middle of the two forks in the road, Bao Ya said.

Matthew nodded and walked directly into the fork on the left.

The forked roads here are all naturally formed, and they are not straight. Sometimes you need to go around in a big circle.

The fork in the road that Matthew took was like this. It was twisted and the ground was full of gravel, making it very difficult to walk.

When Matthew turned a corner, a shadow emerged from the rock wall.

The phantom's arm grabbed hold and turned into five pitch black claws.

Matthew had already noticed it when the shadow appeared.

With a flick of his finger, several fireballs flew out to meet the black claws.

The fireball that was invincible before was now directly scratched to pieces by the black claws.

The color of the black claws only dimmed a little, and then there was no change.

Seeing the black claws continue to grab at him, Matthew moved his feet and flicked his fingers, and eight fireballs appeared again.

At the same time, he patted the spirit beast bag hanging on his waist, and the purple-striped insect that had just woken up flew out.

Without Matthew's instructions, the purple-striped insect had already flapped its wings and flew towards the black claws.

In just a few bites, the sharp black claws were completely eaten by the purple-striped worm.

The unsatisfactory purple-striped insect continued to fly towards the phantom.

Seeing this, the shadow immediately burrowed into the rock wall.

But the purple-striped insect directly broke through the rock wall, pulled the shadow out from inside, and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.

"Good guy, this is not as effective as a spell." Matthew licked his lips and said to himself, looking at the purple-striped insects that were still flying around.

Before releasing the purple-striped worms, Matthew had already cut off Wukun's contact, and it was up to him and the purple-striped worms next.

It's strange to say that the purple-striped bug is just a mutated bug, but it turns out to be the nemesis of ghosts.

Those elusive ghosts were almost powerless against the purple-striped insects, and eventually became their food.

With the Purple Striped Insect here, Matthew no longer has to worry about being attacked by phantoms.

Because the purple-striped worms will dig up the rock walls themselves and catch the ghosts hiding inside to eat them.

Although the forward speed has slowed down, it is very safe.

Every time he walked, Matthew would let the purple-striped insects explore the path ahead.

After the purple-striped insects finished eating the ghosts hiding in the rock wall and continued to fly forward, Matthew stepped forward.

Ghosts are not of the same form, they have humanoid and animal forms.

But no matter what kind, only a few bites will be eaten in front of the purple-striped insects.

Matthew now loves this bug he picked up more and more.

By the way, he also took the time to feed the baby bird in the spirit beast bag.

Because he was in the abyss, the baby bird stayed in the spirit beast bag after being tamed by him.

However, the baby bird is very well-behaved. It only eats and sleeps, and has no desire to go out.

This fork in the road is not too long. When we reach the end, there is no grass inside.

Knowing that his trip was in vain, Matthew put away the purple-striped worms that were not yet full and returned the same way.

Not long after he went out, Bao Ya also came out from the right fork.

You can tell by the look on her face that there must be no gain.

After Bao Ya came out, she sniffed it with her nose and then went to a fork in the road on the other side and said, "Let's go, get out of here first."

Matthew expressed doubts about Bao Ya's behavior. Could it be that she could tell whether she had got the grass just by smelling it with her nose?

"The Jiaozhicao will emit a smell when it grows up. Anyone who is within one foot of the Jiaozhicao will be stained with this smell. Even Nascent Soul monks may not be able to smell that smell. But my nose is different. Anyone who smells it will be smelled by me. The breath I lived will never be forgotten for the rest of my life." As if she saw Matthew's doubts, Bao Ya said with a hint of explanation and warning.

"There are so many strange people in the world of immortality." After hearing Bao Ya's words, Matthew also sighed sincerely.

He had never heard of such a talent, and he knew that his knowledge was too shallow.

Next, Matthew deliberately observed Bao Ya's actions.

I found that every time she came to a fork in the road, her nose would move slightly.

He was probably using his talent to detect the smell left at the fork in the road to determine whether someone had entered this road before them.

I have to say that Matthew is a little envious of such a talent.

"No one has ever entered this road. We are the first. Let's go." After smelling it, Bao Ya said.

But just as he finished speaking, footsteps came from a nearby fork in the road.

Matthew's eyes narrowed and he immediately took out the Fierce Sun Sword and stood on guard.

Bao Ya also took out a spear and looked at the fork in the road nervously.

As the footsteps got closer, Matthew finally saw the person coming.

The two people from Black Dragon Village, the one on the left has a bald head, and the one on the right has a dark face.

These two people were both in the middle stage of foundation building. After they came out, they glanced at Matthew and Bao Ya with some surprise, and then started laughing ferociously.
