Primordial Harem System

Chapter 49: Cave

Shen Yuan just shook his head as he was thinking about what to do today, suddenly he smelled a sweet fragrance as he looked to the side to see Li Yu standing on the side with her hands behind her back and leaning towards Shen Yuan. She said, "You have such strong stamina Brother Yuan, you lasted so long." She had a sly smile on her face when she said that.

Shen Yuan's lips twitched as he didn't expect her to be so shameless that as soon as Han Ming left She started hitting on him. He also replied back, "Of course my stamina is good, I specifically trained for this after all."

They continued chatting and sometimes making lewd jokes as the day turned and they began hunting monsters again.

They fought a few monsters, one of which was even in the peak-level Foundation Establishment realm. Even though Shen Yuan was stronger than the beast, due to his insufficient experience in dealing with such beasts and self-restrictions, he couldn't defeat it alone.

All three of them had to fight side by side to be able to kill that Horned Tiger. He was using his horn as a sharp sword to contend with their weapons. But ultimately he still died at their hands.

They shared the loot and after finishing killing them off they started thinking about where to head next.

Just then Li Yu spoke, "I think I was here before, I was looking for a heaven and earth treasure here in this area since I got clues that it was here, but then I was chased away by that would pack and its leader sends some minions to finish me off."

Shen Yuan looked all around to see if anything remotely close to heaven and earth treasure was here. But unsurprisingly there was no such thing in his view.

But he still chose to believe in his only cute follower. He followed her as she walked in front to clear the way for Shen Yuan and Han Ming.

"It's just up ahead in that case," She pointed towards a cave at the bottom of a mountain after getting out of the forest.

Shen Yuan and Han Ming looked at each other and nodded as they went in the front and began walking towards the cave entrance. Han Ming said, "We will walk in front and you take care of the back, Li Yu."

Shen Yuan also nodded in agreement, unsheathing his sword and walking at the front.

They walked inside the cave, it was dark at first but after walking a bit further, there was a special type of grass emitting light in the cave, illuminating it beautifully.

Li Yu looked around and asked aloud, "Wow, this grass is so pretty, I wonder what it is called?" At the end, her face had a puzzling expression on her face.

Shen Yuan replied, with a knowledgeable look on his face, "They have a simple name, Night Illuminating grass, it is often found in caves. Put it is pretty much useless other than being helpful to illuminate the darkness, but it's also peculiar as it is found only in this area of the entire Eastern Desolate Region."

Li Yu looked towards Shen Yuan with admiration, "Wow, Brother Yuan really knows everything."

Shen Yuan scratched the back of his head as he replied, "It's not that I know everything, I just studied about this area a bit before coming."

Han Ming spoke with a hint of admiration in his voice, "It's still impressive to study so much before going on a mission, I only studied about the beasts and various treasures of heaven and earth. I didn't even spare any time to learn about such small things."

Shen Yuan smiled lightly as he replied, "My memory is pretty good, so I can remember most things I read." Even though he was pretty calm on the surface he was pretty smug inside, though he didn't show any of that.

They continued walking further in the cavern to look for opportunities. They came across a few beasts but they were all weak, mostly in the 1st or 2nd level of the Foundation Establishment realm.

Han Ming made short work of them and continued, they also found a few herbs but all of them were of low quality. Shen Yuan asked with a hint of suspicion in his voice, "Strange… we haven't found any signs of heaven and earth treasures; heck we didn't even find any good herbs. Even the beasts are pathetically weak here."

Han Ming nodded his head in agreement, "That's what I'm thinking as well brother Yuan, it's really too strange, even if we didn't find any treasure of Heaven and Earth, we should at least be able to find some good herbs, but it's like someone already ransacked this place."

Both of them looked towards Li Yu as Han Ming asked, "Are you sure this was the place where you found the heaven and earth treasure?"

Li Yu nodded her head quickly, "This was the place where I found it, I think maybe someone else came after me here."

Shen Yuan and Han Ming could only take her words at face value, they asked a few more questions to her and then continued walking deeper into the cave.

They came to a spacious opening at the end of the cave, it was filled with Night Illuminating Grass, there was a hut in the center of the spacious area.

Shen Yuan and Han Ming looked at each other and went forward to check it. Shen Yuan was in front of him as they walked towards the hut.

He pushed open the door, and SWOOSH, a weird green fog flowed out, Shen Yuan held his breath and swung his hand to swipe away all the fog.

The fog was dispersed as he looked inside, but it was empty with not even a bug inside. Shen Yuan frowned as he looked back to see Li Yu was still standing at the entrance of the open area.
