Chapter 605: Meeting the Mountain Demon King Again

"What is this stuff?" Looking at the many strange-shaped objects inside, some resembling stones and others like dried-out plants, Li Cheng and the others were completely bewildered.

"These, these are all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures." Chen Yu hurriedly stepped forward, staring fixedly at the items in the bag, pointing to several crystal-clear, jade-like stones: "These are Spirit Stones, containing the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, and their grade is not low; they are at least mid-grade."

"Is this stuff worth a lot of money?" Li Cheng asked.

"Money?" Chen Yu shook his head and said: "A mountain of gold wouldn't be enough to trade for them."

"This piece is Life-Connecting Grass, which also belongs to the category of Half-Spirit medicine, possessing the efficacy of limb regeneration."

"This is Dragon Saliva. It is not the substance we know from inside sperm whales, but true Dragon Saliva, transformed by a true dragon. This is a powerful tool that can truly bring the dead back to life."

Chen Yu pointed out several items in one breath that even shocked him: "This team specializes in scouring every corner of Huaxia for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It seems they have had quite a harvest here, but it's a pity they won't be able to take these things back."

"It's just as well they can't take them back; it's our gain," Li Cheng said coldly. "How many treasures have the Fusang people plundered in our Huaxia?"

"Chen Yu, this stuff is useful to you, you take it," Ye Qingning said.

"I take it?" Chen Yu shook his head and said: "These are priceless treasures. Since everyone has seen them, everyone should have a share."

"Brother, we have no idea what these things are. Since they are treasures, they must be in the hands of someone who knows their worth to realize their true value," Li Cheng said. "Take them."

"Mr. Chen, don't worry about us; we take our orders from Miss Ye," Huang Wei also said.

"Alright then, everyone, I won't stand on ceremony and will put these away. If you ever need help in the future, I, Chen Yu, will not shirk my duty." Chen Yu thought for a moment and stopped declining; he would do his best if Li Cheng, Huang Wei, or the two bodyguards ever needed help in the future.

This promise of his could not be measured by money.

Chen Yu waved his right hand, and these items vanished before their eyes.

Ye Qingning had seen this trick of his before and was not surprised, but Li Cheng stared at Chen Yu, looking him up and down, completely unable to figure out where that big bag of things had gone.

"Brother, where did those things go?" Li Cheng asked.

"I put them away," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Put them where? You don't know magic, do you?" Li Cheng was somewhat skeptical.

"Haha, I don't know that. I'll explain it to you when there's an opportunity. Let's keep moving forward; this cave should lead somewhere."

The group followed the cave forward, walking for about ten minutes, when a bright light suddenly appeared before them.

The cave had reached its end, and they were standing on a platform. A pool of water appeared before them; it was an underground river. The water was very calm, but the river surface was very wide, and there was no path ahead at all.

"No wonder those officers were guarding here; it turns out there is no path ahead," Li Cheng shook his head.

"I can feel it; the Heart-Flowing Cranberry should be nearby," Chen Yu closed his eyes, sensing the airflow around him.

"But how are we supposed to cross this river in front of us?" Li Cheng said. "The water is very cold, and the current is very swift. We don't know how deep it is."

"Let's think of a way," Chen Yu opened his eyes.

Suddenly, a sense of danger rapidly approached in his consciousness. On the stone wall to one side, a black shadow pounced over like lightning, and the target was Ye Qingning.

"Watch out!" Chen Yu roared, grabbing Ye Qingning.

But a huge black shadow pounced over, revealing a vivid, terrifying face and rolled-back eyeballs. Immediately following, a wild roar surged forth, and the creature slapped a palm toward Chen Yu.

The Mountain Demon King; to think this guy would appear here.

Chen Yu roared, pulling Ye Qingning with one hand while wielding the Li Chen sword in the other, thrusting it fiercely toward the opponent.

*Puff! * The Mountain Demon King was struck. Even though it had thick skin and flesh, the Li Chen sword still crippled one of its palms.

But this guy grabbed Ye Qingning with one hand, leaped forward violently, and with a *splash*, jumped into the underground river, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"You all go back!" Chen Yu roared. He slashed the Li Chen sword toward the water surface, and with a *boom*, the water erupted into huge waves. He leaped up and dove into the giant waves.

"Chen Yu..."

The voices of Li Cheng and the others behind him quickly faded. Chen Yu leaped into the river water, flying in the direction where the Mountain Demon King had just disappeared.

Chen Yu was anxious; he had not expected the Mountain Demon King to strike at this moment.

Having wiped out the Mountain Demon clan, this creature hated him to the bone.

Now that it had captured Ye Qingning, there would definitely be no good outcome.

On the bank of the Dark River, Ye Qingning was hung up by a vine. Her legs were dangling ten meters in the air, and beneath her feet were some extremely sharp stalactites.

If she were to fall from up there, she would inevitably be pierced through by the stalactites below.

Chen Yu leaped up from the water. Seeing Ye Qingning hanging in mid-air, he stepped forward, intending to save her.

Suddenly, he stopped his steps because the Mountain Demon King was hanging on the stone wall in mid-air. It held a pitch-black Quartz Spike in its hand; this quartz had been polished by it and was extremely sharp.

The Quartz Spike in its hand pointed at the vine above Ye Qingning, its rolled-back eyes fixed on Chen Yu in a threatening manner.

Its meaning was already very clear: if Chen Yu dared to move again, it would sever the vine without hesitation.

"Chen Yu, don't worry about me, you go quickly!" Ye Qingning screamed from mid-air.

Chen Yu gripped the Li Chen sword in his hand. This situation was indeed very difficult because he was not sure if he could save her with full force the moment Ye Qingning fell.

The Mountain Demon King roared, staring at Chen Yu.

Its rolled-back eyes looked at the Li Chen sword in Chen Yu's hand, because it had been wounded by the Li Chen sword several times, so its gaze toward the sword now held some fear.

It hissed, pointing the sharp object in its hand at Ye Qingning, looking threatening.

Its meaning was already very obvious: it wanted Chen Yu to drop the Li Chen sword in his hand.

Chen Yu naturally understood its meaning, so he slowly lowered the Li Chen sword in his hand and took a few steps forward.

He spread his hands, signaling that he had no weapons in them.

"Chen Yu, what are you doing? You're crazy, pick up your sword quickly!" Ye Qingning screamed.

"It's okay, don't worry," Chen Yu smiled at her slightly to comfort her.

Seeing Chen Yu put down the Li Chen sword, the Mountain Demon King leaped a few times on the stone wall and landed heavily on the ground.

Its figure was tall, much taller than Chen Yu. It held the Quartz Spike in its hand, circling around Chen Yu.

Chen Yu's gaze was fixed on it; he did not believe this guy would have a fair duel with him because the threat to Ye Qingning had not been lifted.

Suddenly, the Mountain Demon King pounced toward Chen Yu violently. While pouncing, it grabbed a sharp stone shard with one hand and threw it toward the vine in mid-air.

This sharp stone shard could sever the vine in an instant.

If Chen Yu wanted to stop the vines from being cut, he could not attend to this fellow's attacks; this thing had high intelligence, and it was precisely trying to make Chen Yu unable to attend to both.

But there was no other way; Chen Yu could only save Ye Qingning first. Chen Yu leaped up, and a few pebbles appeared in his hand. He tossed the pebbles in his hand upward, *pa-pa*, knocking away the pebbles flying toward the vines.

But at the same time, the Mountain Demon King pounced over. With a roar, its massive body knocked Chen Yu down, and then it raised the Quartz Spike in its hand, fiercely piercing through Chen Yu's shoulder.
