Chapter 68: Treasure Obtained, Cease Fire at Xu Hour

Zhao Xing cast Wind Rising to accelerate six straw men, rushing into the interior of the mountain cave.

At the same time, there were over a dozen straw men crouching along the established retreat route.

"Quick, search quickly."

Zhao Xing's heart beat faster, and his breathing became rapid.

Even though he was only controlling straw men, his heart was surging, as if he were about to find a rare treasure immediately.

However, reason still occupied the dominant position: "Treasures move people's hearts, but I must be fast. The mountain cat's movement speed is very agile; I must find it within a quarter-hour."

"Within a quarter-hour, I must retreat! No matter how many treasures, I won't linger!"

Zhao Xing repeated this rule in his heart.

Because after the straw men penetrated this time, he felt that there was more than one type of treasure in the cave!

After penetrating inside, the cave appeared with four fork roads, and each fork road had that kind of strong attraction.

"Disperse!"

Zhao Xing immediately ordered the straw men to enter the four fork roads separately.

The vision in the cave was dim, and the straw men were stumbling forward, but fortunately, the straw men were resistant to falls. Later, he simply ordered the straw men to crawl on all fours, and the speed actually became faster.

"Thump!"

Soon, the feeling transmitted from the first straw man made Zhao Xing's heart beat violently.

At the end of one of the fork roads, there was a complete skeleton, and that skeleton was not much different from the one Zhao Xing saw for the first time.

Between its ribs, a fist-sized purple stone was stuck.

The stone emitted electric light, and the two ribs stuck to it were already charred.

"Swish~"

The straw man ran over to take the purple stone, and its hand soon started to smoke.

Fortunately, this was a Vajra Warrior; if it had been a straw man made of green vines, it might not have been able to take it away.

"Return!" Zhao Xing immediately ordered this Vajra Warrior.

Because it had walked the previous route, the Vajra Warrior returned very smoothly.

It exited the cave entrance, and immediately there was a second straw man waiting.

The God-Speed Straw Man grabbed the Vajra Warrior, accelerating its speed.

There was no time to check.

Because the second straw man in the cave had a discovery.

After walking to the end, in a dry spherical cave, there was daylight shining on a stone platform.

A thin piece of yellow paper was floating in it.

The second straw man immediately took the yellow paper away.

"Return!"

Zhao Xing was somewhat excited.

That's the second one!

Not long after the second straw man returned.

His luck erupted for the third time.

The other two fork roads actually had discoveries at the same time!

In the third fork road, the straw man discovered a pool of spring water. The spring eye was gushing vital energy, and the entire spring was shrouded in fairy energy, extremely extraordinary.

There were four blue lotus flowers on it, one of which had already bloomed, while the other three were in bud state.

The straw man reached out to pull, but soon its hand was covered with a layer of ice mist. Even though the speed was fast enough, when it pulled off the lotus pod, its right hand was already frozen stiff and lost its mobility, so it could only hold it in its arms with its left hand.

In the fourth fork road, the straw man actually saw a shining cup in a nest piled with furs!

"This cup?!"

Zhao Xing's heart jumped; it was shockingly one of the visions he saw just before entering the mountain!

It was simply a luck explosion; all four fork roads found treasures!

However, the more it was like this, the more Zhao Xing felt terrified.

The passive triggering of luck follows the rule of declining after three times.

It's too early to be happy now; he might not be able to bring them all out!

"Hiss!"

Just at this moment, an angry roar came from afar.

The mountain cat reappeared within a three-mile range and was observed by Zhao Xing.

"It's back, and I should run too."

Zhao Xing immediately shouldered his Literary Bamboo Box and jumped onto the back of the God-Speed Straw Man.

"This mountain cat is actually ranked even as a cub; it seems it was nurtured by Spirit Mountain. Otherwise, a normal mountain cat bloodline wouldn't be so fierce."

Sensing the approach of the mountain cat, Zhao Xing knew that the lotus seeds and the gold cup might not be able to be brought out.

Because the mountain cat was almost back, but the straw men holding the lotus seeds and the gold cup had only just run out of the cave.

"I must abandon one of them, otherwise I won't get either. Which one does it value more?"

Zhao Xing activated the Bright Eyes spell to observe the mountain cat's movement route.

He discovered that it was prioritizing the straw man holding the gold cup.

"Run in the opposite direction while holding the gold cup!"

Zhao Xing decisively gave the order, using great willpower to forcefully suppress the reluctance in his heart.

The straw man holding the gold cup suddenly threw the gold cup forward.

At the landing point of the gold cup, soon there were ambushed straw men jumping up. After catching it, they didn't hesitate and immediately threw it to the third landing point.

Running, the straw men couldn't outrun the mountain cat, but the Vajra Warriors throwing it, that speed was much faster.

The mountain cat couldn't catch up for a while.

The gold cup was passed to the last straw man's hand; the straight-line distance was already three miles away from Zhao Xing, and the last straw man was already standing in front of a cliff.

"Throw!"

The straw man threw the gold cup forward fiercely.

But at this moment, the mountain cat roared, and it actually disappeared completely from the field of vision.

The next second, a large hole appeared in the Vajra Warrior's body, as if it had been pierced by a bolt of lightning.

The gold cup was still thrown out.

The mountain cat roared angrily and actually jumped off the cliff as well, then caught the gold cup in its mouth, stepped in the air, and returned to the top of the cliff.

"You're awesome, I don't want it anymore."

Zhao Xing observed this scene and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

This damn thing is still a kung fu cat.

What it finally cast was actually a secret movement technique!

"But these three treasures belong to me."

Zhao Xing smiled slightly and pointed at the sky.

Thick clouds rolled, and thunder roared.

Ice rain shrouded the cliff, and a ghostly wind blew over.

Then Zhao Xing retreated calmly.

Where is the safest place to climb the mountain?

Of course, it's the Altar Square on the main peak of East Lake Mountain.

In order to avoid the pursuit of the mountain cat.

The God-Speed Straw Man ran wildly all the way, bringing Zhao Xing to the top of the mountain.

The Altar Square was already in sight.

"Who is it?"

"Eh, why are so many straw men coming up?"

"Hmm? What's going on, why is my heart suddenly pounding?"

"Damn, it's a spiritual treasure; those straw men are hiding spiritual treasures!"

"My God, what a strong sensation, mid-grade or high-grade spiritual treasure?!"

Around the square, there were climbers resting, but now they all stood up one after another, staring in one direction.

When Zhao Xing rushed up the mountain, everyone sensed the existence of the spiritual treasure he was carrying.

Countless gazes, both open and secret, stared over with ill intent.

A stream of light shot out from a large tree outside the Altar Square, heading straight for Zhao Xing.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo!"

Three arrows shot into the Vajra Bamboo body, the arrowheads penetrating three inches through the chest, but they failed to shoot through.

The arrow attack had just ended.

Another voice sounded in his ear: "This friend, the spiritual treasure on you is fated with me, please stay!"

Zhao Xing couldn't help but slow down his pace, but the next moment, he snorted coldly and shook off the restraint.

"Little brother, quickly put down the spiritual treasure, otherwise you will be entangled by evil fire!"

A mellow voice attacked from the front, and three God-Speed Straw Men immediately ignited with flames.

"Those who block me die!"

Zhao Xing roared, and a ghostly wind blew fiercely from the ground. Accompanied by the ghostly wind, this voice seemed to go directly into the soul, making all the peepers tremble.

Taking advantage of the gap where everyone was affected, Zhao Xing was thrown by a Vajra Warrior, borrowed the force to jump, and immediately jumped into the Altar Square.

In the center of the square, there was a sundial, and the pointer happened to point to the Xu hour (7 PM - 9 PM) area.

The words "Cease Fire" were engraved on the dial, meaning that from this moment on, fighting was prohibited within the square area.

"Phew~ The timing was just right." Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
