Inside the Divine Spring Pool, Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen were unaware of the situation outside. They were still regretting their indecisiveness just now, or else, they could have possibly left a Ferocious Beast to guard the entrance. “Little Dot, where are you planning to go next?”
Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen turned to Little Dot, their faces no longer carried the tense standoffishness from before, but were brimming with casual familiarity as if the boys were close friends who always frolic together.
However, only Little Dot knew the real situation. These two boys, about the same size as him, seemed harmless on the surface but were truly crafty. If anyone were to actually trust them, they would probably get cheated horribly and would even be counting money for their fraudsters after getting sold.
Gu Chen, the boy, was okay to handle. He tended to be more silent and straightforward rather than playing tricks. But the other one needed to be dealt with cautiously, or else Little Dot would definitely suffer a major loss.
“The Heavenly Bone Forbidden Area I guess,” after a moment of contemplation, Little Dot responded honestly. There were rumors about Heavenly bones and fortunes waiting there, and he wanted to try his luck. “Wow, is it far from here?” Tu Wa Zi was pumped up. Anything related to Heavenly bones sounded like good stuff that deserved an exploration, even digging up the whole area to find them.
“It shouldn’t be far,” Little Dot scratched his head. He had never been there, so he didn’t know the exact distance.
“Then let’s meet at the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Area!” Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen nodded, intending to travel separately from Little Dot.
They had to return and meet Lin Zhuang and the others before they set out together.
The trio ran, out racing one another until they rushed out of Hundred Herb Garden. But right when they reached the exit, columns of light shot straight into the sky, catching the boys’ eyes.
In the distance, it seemed like there was one volcano after another erupting, their radiant light piercing the sky. They were creating an incomparable disruption, with Runes densely packed, rattling Heaven and Earth, each seeming as dazzling as a deity.
These were the divine creatures they had seen earlier, standing guard in this place, their auras as vast as the heavens.
“Look, there are those human boys, catch them!”
An observant divine creature spotted the trio and instinctively shouted.
Suddenly, a bombardment of sharp, knife-like glances nailed them down. They froze with fear. The creatures’ immense spiritual power felt like being engulfed in waves.
“Oh, damn it!”
The boys were terrified and quickly withdrew back to the Divine Spring Pool.
These divine creatures were extremely frightening. They all had reached the rare Nine Rounds of Cave Sky. Given the environmental suppression, even together, they were no match for these creatures.
“Bunch of cowards, are you brave enough to fight us in here? Does guarding the entrance make you real heroes?”
Tu Wa Zi was cursing furiously. It was the first time he had ever been cornered, unable to make a move.
Little Dot was also exasperated, even more gloomy. His jade button-like face was now frowning like a bitter gourd. He felt like he was trapped by these two mischievous boys from Liu Village. He thought that those terrifying divine creatures didn’t even initially target him. He was simply an extra that got dragged into the mess.
Several days passed like this. The Pure Blood Divine Spirits standing guard outside were not willing to leave just like that.
The boys were patient to stay in, but these creatures couldn’t afford to continue waiting.
While the boys had full baskets of harvest, the creatures hadn’t even gotten soup to drink. If they continued waiting pointlessly, they would waste their rare opportunity to enter this mountain range.
A group of divine creatures left angrily, feeling extremely aggrieved. They thought that the boys were truly cunning and loathsome. They didn’t even dare to come out and face them.
In the end, after raging and turning the nearby land into a barren, wasteland, the creatures with terrifying bloodlines finally left.
After waiting for another day and making sure that these creatures had really left, Tu Wa Zi, Little Dot, and Gu Chen finally dared to come out.
“Wait until I reach Nine Rounds of Cave Sky. I will catch them back, one by one!”
Tu Wa Zi hollered, venting his anger. It was really unbearable these past few days, they felt imprisoned and dare not step outside.
Little Dot was equally disgruntled. He swore never to associate with these two jinxes from Liu Village ever again. He had such bad luck with them that even a drink of cold water would choke him.
“Little Dot, we’ll meet again at the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Area. Wait for us there!” Tu Wa Zi patted Little Dot’s shoulder, his face beaming with excitement.
He thought that, contrary to Little Dot’s views, the little chap seemed like a lucky star with extraordinary luck, and wherever he went, he was always fortunate.
After bidding their farewells, Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen rushed towards Shared Treasure Cliff.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhuang and the others were still digging around the Stonewood.
Looking from afar, several barren patches had appeared in places that were completely stripped off their vegetation, leaving behind piles of rocks, while only a handful of random clumps were left untouched.
With mass production, such a large scale of excavation would certainly yield a good harvest. Lin Zhuang and his team had already collected quite a lot.
Several days of hard work had brought a hefty harvest. They had filled several Beast Skin Bags, much to the envy of the onlooking crowd.
The old man with unkempt hair also had a fair share of findings. He had a discerning eye and didn’t need anything that was even slightly marred. While he had only collected four or five things, they were all of excellent quality and held many magical uses. The old man hadn’t stopped his rambling, constantly muttering about his fortune..
