From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 420 Near Treasure Encounters a Formidable Enemy Again

Riding this big guy – which I named "Little Gray" – feels like flying through the clouds!

The damp air in the cave slapped against my face, and Little Gray's heavy breaths sprayed onto my back, warm and cozy, carrying an indescribable animalistic smell, a bit like wet dog fur, and a bit like burnt meat.

To be honest, it doesn't smell very good, but I can't care about that right now.

The aura of the rare treasure grew stronger and stronger, and my heart pounded as if I had a rabbit in my chest.

This scent, how to describe it, is like the damp earth of a forest in the early morning, mixed with a hint of sweet floral fragrance. Just smelling it invigorates you and fills you with energy.

I feel like I'm bewitched, all I want to do is find it!

"Xiao Yao, wait for me!" Hei Yu's voice came from afar, sounding weak.

This guy, his injury hasn't fully healed yet, and he's already following me around aimlessly.

I tightened my grip on Little Grey's mane. "Little Grey, slow down!"

Little Gray was really obedient and slowed down. Black Feather quickly caught up, his face pale and his lips bloodless.

"Are you alright?" I asked, a little worried.

He waved his hand, "It's alright, I won't die."

I rolled my eyes. "What are you trying to prove? We haven't even gotten our hands on this treasure yet, and you're already going to get yourself killed. I won't have time to collect your corpse then!"

He smiled but didn't say anything. I knew he was worried about me, you silly boy.

The further you go in, the narrower the cave becomes, and the thinner the air becomes, making you feel a bit suffocated.

The cave walls shimmered with fluorescent light, illuminating the path ahead.

Suddenly, I sensed a strong killing intent!

My hair stood on end!

Oh no, something's wrong!

"Watch out!" I shouted, jerking the reins of Little Grey.

Almost at the same time, a group of people appeared in front of them, each with fierce eyes and exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

They seemed to emerge suddenly from the darkness, wielding all sorts of weapons that gleamed coldly.

Damn!

How can there be so many people?!

Moreover, their strength... seems to be much greater than those guys we encountered before!

"The treasure is ours!" one of the burly men roared, his voice echoing through the cave and making my ears ring.

My heart sank; it seemed a fierce battle was inevitable.

Just then, Su Yao's annoying face appeared in the middle of the group.

She looked at me smugly, her eyes filled with malice.

"Haha, Xiao Yao, you didn't expect this, did you! Let's see how you escape this time!"

I really wanted to tear her mouth apart!

That damned woman actually revealed our whereabouts to these people!

"You two know each other?" the burly man asked.

Su Yao immediately added fuel to the fire, saying a bunch of bad things about me, portraying me as a ruthless villain who stole other people's treasures.

I was furious when I heard that, and I wanted nothing more than to rush up and slap her!

"Hmph! Since that's how it is, then don't blame us for being impolite!" After saying that, the guy waved his hand and said, "Go! Kill them and seize the treasure!"

The battle is imminent!

Kuroba's injuries had not fully healed, and he was clearly struggling to cope with these powerful enemies.

A tall, imposing figure wielded a giant axe and swung it down at Kuroba's head.

Kuroba barely dodged one attack, but was struck by another person's magic, crashing heavily into the cave wall and spitting out blood.

"Kuroba!" I was frantic with worry, but I had no time to pay attention to him.

Master Li was also caught in a fierce battle.

Although he was quite strong, he was surrounded by the overwhelming numbers of his opponents.

A skinny fellow seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, striking him in the back with a palm strike. Master Li groaned, swayed, and almost fell over.

"Elder Feng!" I shouted.

Elder Feng descended from the sky riding his giant eagle, his enormous wings whipping up a gust of wind that made the robes of the new treasure hunters flutter wildly.

However, among these people were experts skilled at dealing with demonic beasts. They quickly unleashed various spells to disrupt the giant eagle's movements.

The giant eagle circled in the air, emitting uneasy cries, its wings moving sluggishly as if bound by an invisible force.

My heart tightened; I knew I couldn't continue to be passive like this.

Looking around, the clamor of battle filled the entire cave, with flashing swords and flickering magic in the darkness, making everyone's faces appear ferocious and distorted.

Black Feather struggled to hold on, while Hall Master Li and Elder Feng were also overwhelmed by the enemy's numbers and strength.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

Although the enemy before us is powerful, their attack methods are not invincible.

I carefully observed their movements, trying to find a flaw.

Finally, I noticed that although their spells were powerful, they required a certain amount of time to cast, and during these brief intervals, gaps would appear in their defenses.

"Listen up, everyone!" I shouted, trying to drown out the noise of the battle. "Their spells take time to cast, so we need to seize this opening and concentrate our attacks on their weaknesses!"

Black Feather and Hall Master Li immediately understood what I meant and adjusted their attack rhythm.

Elder Feng also commanded the giant eagle to swoop down from the sky, causing considerable harassment to the enemy.

I concentrated all my spiritual power and unleashed my most powerful immortal technique.

The hand seals changed rapidly, and spiritual power condensed into a dazzling light at the fingertips, directly targeting the opponent's weak point.

The light pierced the enemy's defenses like a sharp sword, instantly tearing a gap in their lines.

"Now!" I shouted, leading everyone in a full-force charge.

Black Feather and Hall Master Li followed closely behind, while Elder Feng's giant eagle circled in the air, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

The new treasure hunters were clearly caught off guard by our swift counterattack, and their formation crumbled, causing them to retreat in disarray.

We seized the opportunity to break through their defenses and got one step closer to the treasure.

However, just when we thought victory was assured, I felt a sense of unease.

The aura of the rare treasure grew stronger, as if beckoning us, but at the same time, it also faintly revealed a hint of danger.

A greater threat seems to lurk deep within the cave, waiting for us to confront it.

"Everyone be careful, there might be even greater dangers ahead," I whispered a warning, my gaze fixed firmly on the depths of the cave.

We must be more careful in order to emerge unscathed from this adventure.

Just then, Hei Yu walked up to me and said softly, "Xiao Yao, no matter what lies ahead, I will face it with you."

I nodded, a warm feeling welling up inside me.

No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, I will not back down.

We've come this far, and we absolutely cannot stop here.

"Let's go, the treasure is just ahead," I said softly, leading the group forward to face the unknown challenges.

A tense atmosphere filled the air, as if foreshadowing a new storm.
