785: Chapter 231_4 785: Chapter 231_4 But what could he do?
He certainly couldn’t beat these few people in a fight.
Moreover, without Cao Zhen, he himself had no way to retrieve the Spirit Pill.
All he could do was look on enviously and then hope that Cao Zhen and the others would keep their word and let him choose more treasures the next time they encountered any.
As for whether they would encounter treasures again, he wasn’t sure.
On his compass, the spoon was moving slowly but steadily in a general direction, fluctuating left and right.
“Let’s go, let’s continue forward.”
Linghu Gudu led the way, and the group continued to fly on.
Cao Zhen had spent half a day on Alchemy.
This time, they had only flown for half a day, and the sky was gradually darkening.
“It’s getting dark, those skeletons might come again.
Let’s find a cave,” Linghu Gudu said, seeing the sun begin to set and immediately stopping flight to look for a cave.
Yan Yourong, however, directly spoke up, “Why bother finding a cave?
There are so many mountains here, we can simply blast one open.”
With that, she swung her hand, intending to forcefully create a cave.
With her level of Cultivation Base, creating a cave was more than simple.
“Junior Sister, no need to carve out a cave; there’s an existing one over there,” pointed Yan Yourong, gesturing toward a distance.
“Since there is a cave, then there’s no need to carve out another,” Cao Zhen nodded and said, “Let’s head to the cave.
He was the first to fly toward it.”
In just a few breaths, he reached the entrance of the cave, and he also sensed three presences within the cave.
Was the cave already occupied?
Just as the thought crossed his mind, a gigantic fireball flew out from inside the cave.
Cao Zhen had no time to think; a black and a white glow instantly rose from his body.
Record of Deities and Demons!
The fireball smashed onto him, and the scorching heat wave hit him head-on, making him feel as if he had fallen into a massive furnace in an instant.
For a moment, the black and white glows surged rapidly, intertwining like two rivers, protecting him in the middle, and resisting the incoming flames.
When the flame met the black and white glows, it was as if a burning piece of dry wood had fallen into water, disappearing instantly.
By now, Cao Zhen could see clearly the three figures in the cave; they were the three people who had borrowed their cave yesterday.
Inside the cave, the three figures also recognized the person they had just attacked.
Actually, they had recognized the newcomer right after they launched their attack.
It was the five people they had encountered yesterday, and the one they attacked was the only one who wasn’t at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, the person protected by the four at Perfect Completion Golden Core!
For a moment, their hearts sank as if plunging to the seabed.
It would have been better if they had attacked any of the other four at Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
At the very least, they wouldn’t have been able to harm them given their Cultivation Base.
But now, the one who entered was at the sixth level of Golden Core.
How could a sixth level Golden Core resist their attack?
It was over, completely over!
If this strike had killed the sixth level Golden Core, then the next moment, when the four masters at Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection arrived, they would undoubtedly die.
They couldn’t understand—weren’t those four supposed to protect him?
Why did they let the sixth level Golden Core charge in first?
Didn’t they need to scout ahead and ensure safety before letting him enter?
However, in the next moment, the three people’s eyes widened in shock.
The person with the sixth level Golden Core suddenly exhibited black and white glows; clearly, it was a Protective Divine Power.
Their flame collided with the glow, merely causing the black and white glows to tremble slightly before vanishing!
This…
The three were completely dumbfounded.
The one who had just made the move was among them, an individual who had achieved Pill Fusion, with ten Golden Cores fused and possessing six of the Phenomenal Golden Cores.
That his strike had been so easily blocked by someone with only six Golden Cores was inconceivable!
How could this be possible?
The gap between those who had completed Pill Fusion and those who hadn’t in the Golden Core Stage was simply too immense.
How could this person disregard such a disparity?
The scene before them was too shocking, and for a moment, the three even forgot how to think.
It wasn’t until the other four arrived that the three snapped out of it.
Suddenly, they realized that although he was unharmed, they had attacked him, and it had been a deliberate attack…
In an instant, cold sweat started to form on their foreheads.
Among them, the only female cultivator quickly said, “Sirs, we…
we mentioned yesterday that we have enemies.
Just now when you suddenly flew here, we thought we had encountered our enemies, so we attacked directly.
We…”
“Enough, no need to explain.
I also didn’t expect to encounter you again in this cave,” Cao Zhen wasn’t interested in arguing, only feeling that it was an incredible coincidence.
He had stayed at that valley for half a day, and upon moving again, had actually come across these three people again.
It wasn’t just Cao Zhen; the others in the cave were also taken aback at seeing the three.
Everything was just too coincidental.
