This inheritance has caused Old Monster immense suffering. Even with Old Monster's resilient character, there is still a lingering fear.
That kind of pain is simply not meant for humans to endure.
To put it nicely, aside from the monsters, no one else could handle this inheritance.
Old Monster cautiously said to Li Rui, "Honestly, I really don't want to experience that again; it was too painful, almost inhuman!"
Li Rui glanced disdainfully at Old Monster and replied, "Just know when to stop; don’t take advantage and then act innocent. The fact that you received this inheritance is your Fortune. If it weren't for your ancestor lying here, I would also want to get involved."
Old Monster shot a glare at Li Rui, as if daring him to try and take it.
Li Rui had no mood for jokes; ever since Old Monster began to receive the inheritance, Li Rui's nerves had been on edge.
This tomb is truly Eerie. From the previous illusions and the Bronze Man Formation, it’s clear that there are all kinds of dangers present.
These dangers pose not only physical threats but also psychological ones.
If it weren't for the strength and mental fortitude of himself, Lightning Weasel, and Old Monster, they might have truly perished here.
It really does echo that saying.
Crisis and opportunity coexist.
After each narrow escape from danger, both he and Lightning Weasel have received various rewards. This has made Li Rui quite happy.
However, this time, with Old Monster obtaining this inheritance, the situation regarding this reward is different from before. In previous crises, rewards were only obtained after overcoming danger.
This time, it was truly a case of getting something for nothing!
Li Rui couldn't help but feel a bit tense.
Lightning Weasel saw that Old Monster had yet to grasp Li Rui's current thoughts and directly unleashed a bolt of lightning that passed over Old Monster's head. With a crackling sound, Old Monster's hair stood on end, looking quite distinctive.
Old Monster hurriedly tried to flatten his hair while cursing, "You damn weasel, what are you doing? Are you looking for death?"
Lightning Weasel, just like Li Rui, disdainfully glanced at Old Monster, who had just gained intelligence but hadn't fully processed it yet, and said, "Heart rules."
Now it was clear; even Old Monster, no matter how foolish, understood why Li Rui and Lightning Weasel were acting this way at this moment. Old Monster quickly concentrated his energy and cautiously observed his surroundings.
Five minutes later, no danger had appeared.
Li Rui's nerves gradually relaxed as he turned his head to examine the cave. In this tomb chamber, there was no path ahead. It seemed that aside from going back the way they came, there were no other routes available.
However, Li Rui still felt a bit skeptical.
After all, in this tomb chamber, although there would be many dangers, behind those dangers lay immense opportunities.
Wasn't Lightning Weasel and Old Monster a typical example?
Li Rui released his mental energy and began to carefully observe everything in the tomb chamber. Soon, he became disappointed; under Li Rui's mental probing, aside from the entrance they had just come through, there were no other paths to be found. He didn't even discover any traps.
It seemed this was the limit.
"Sigh..." Li Rui sighed in disappointment and turned to Old Monster, saying, "Old Monster, this is your ancestor; let's pay our respects and then head back. There’s no path ahead."
"Mm." Old Monster nodded.
Just like Li Rui had done earlier, Old Monster and Lightning Weasel also searched the area with their mental power but found nothing.
Old Monster turned around, bowed three times to the tomb owner, stood up, and said to Li Rui and Lightning Weasel, "Alright, let's go."
Li Rui nodded and led the way toward the entrance they had just come from. Lightning Weasel transformed into a bolt of lightning and quickly landed on Li Rui's shoulder.
Old Monster followed closely behind Li Rui as they walked out.
Step by step, Li Rui clearly remembered the path they had taken to enter. However, after walking for a while, Li Rui suddenly stopped.
Old Monster nearly bumped into Li Rui's back and took a step back, asking unhappily, "Li Rui, what are you doing?"
Li Rui shook his head and said helplessly, "It seems we are lost."
Lost.
Old Monster was taken aback and then said, "That can't be! Didn't we walk the same path we came in on? How could we be lost?"
Li Rui explained, "I was counting our steps. We've already taken 61 more steps than when we entered! Clearly, we are lost. Old Monster, stay alert and stick close to me."
Hearing this from Li Rui, Old Monster nodded to show he understood. In Old Monster's eyes, fighting spirit flickered; if danger arose, he would definitely use the inheritance he had just obtained to eliminate that threat.
The improvement in strength had significantly boosted Old Monster's confidence.
As they continued following Li Rui, the danger Old Monster anticipated did not appear.
Suddenly, a faint light flickered before Li Rui's eyes.
With Li Rui's keen eyesight, he could naturally see that where there is light, there is a way out.
Li Rui hurriedly called out, "Old Monster, keep up!"
With that, Li Rui took off at full speed toward the direction from which the light was coming.
The light became increasingly bright, and an opening appeared before Li Rui.
Li Rui charged out directly, but the scene before him left him stunned, standing frozen in place.
Old Monster, who had followed him out, also came to a halt upon seeing the scene outside.
This exit was not the same entrance through which Li Rui and the others had come.
Once they emerged, Li Rui and the others found themselves at the lower end of a gorge. In the middle of this gorge flowed a gentle stream.
Where they stood was covered in snowflakes, but on the other side of the stream, there was not a single flake of snow!
Could this place be a treasure land where yin and yang are distributed?
Thinking of this, Li Rui quickly used his agility to reach the other side of the stream.
Indeed!
Li Rui's eyes were filled with joy.
The temperature here is completely different from the place I just stood; I can't even guess how much higher it is!
Given this environment, the plant Pure Yang to Pure Yin that Li Rui is looking for might not actually grow here!
Li Rui hurriedly said, “Lightning Weasel, Old Monster, hurry, help me find that Pure Yang to Pure Yin plant. In this environment, it might not really be growing here.”
Old Monster and Lightning Weasel nodded and instantly left this place using their skills.
Li Rui also shifted his gaze, observing the surroundings.
Slowly turning back, suddenly, Li Rui's eyes fixed on something.
In front of Li Rui, a black-and-white plant was growing in the crevice of a cliff, swaying gently with the breeze.
That's it!
My Ruxi is saved!
