Chapter 321: Underground Cave, Trading Event (First Update)
Li Qing and his two companions helped the migrating human-faced snake tribe and captured the mouse and rabbit spirit beasts for three days.

Three days later, the oasis was not found, but under the guidance of the human-faced snake, they came to an underground river cave.

The cave was located deep in the sand, with the entrance at the bottom of a stone wall, very hidden. It would be difficult to find without someone to lead the way.

They will trade with other intelligent races in the desert and share what they have.

Li Qing then realized that all this while he was supposedly helping to catch rats and rabbits was actually a test from the human-faced snake.

If they had not shown any hostility throughout the whole process, the other party would definitely not have brought them here.

After three days of getting along, the human-faced snake let down its guard against the three people and took the initiative to propose to establish contact through "telepathy".

This kind of magic was of course brought in by outsiders. Now it has become a powerful tool for communication between intelligent races in the secret realm.

"I'm sorry, this cave is too important. We must be very cautious when bringing people here." The human-faced snake leader explained sincerely.

"It's okay, it's just human nature." Li Qing and the other two naturally didn't care much.

But as an apology, the leader still gave them his own magnetic orb.

With the humility of Li Qing and Niu Xinjing, the pearl was given to Sang Yuwan. After all, it was thanks to him that she could interact with the human-faced snake.

But the strange thing is that even though they have expressed their friendship, the human-faced snakes still haven't introduced themselves to them by name.

It's as if names don't exist.

Afterwards, the human-faced snake led the way, followed by the three others, and entered the cave cautiously.

"Hua La La..." The sound of the underground river rushing came from far away.

Soon, a river ten feet wide appeared in front of everyone.

On the gravel beaches on both sides of the river, there are sparse weeds growing, many of which have spiritual reactions.

Li Qing collected some and found that they were all species he had never seen before, so he preserved them properly in a jade box.

Farther away from the gravel beach is an uneven stone wall covered with cracks, on which grow many fluorescent mushrooms, most of which exude spiritual energy.

Seeing that Li Qing was very interested, the human-faced snake leader straightened his neck and warned seriously: "Don't pick it. This mushroom is highly poisonous and can pollute the true essence and spiritual consciousness, and then poison people to death along the connection."

After a pause, she added, "In the past, there was a third-level expert here, but he was poisoned to death because he picked mushrooms..."

Li Qing originally wanted to use other methods to pick the fruits in a roundabout way, but after hearing this, he immediately gave up.

A third-level strongman is equivalent to a Jindan Zhenren. Even if this can be poisoned to death, Li Qing is not willing to test the law.

Fortunately, this kind of mushroom does not emit spores and only reproduces with mycelium at the roots, otherwise this cave would definitely be extinct.

As they moved along the river, they saw many herbivores and predators on the way.

There were relatively many pikas, the kind that the human-faced snake liked to eat, here, so they ate their fill.

From time to time, large fish would leap out of the water, creating a violent splash. In addition, shrimps, crabs, snails, and clams also appeared.

Sang Yuwan even discovered a second-level spirit fish with the ability to build a foundation, and it had the scent of dragon blood.

Unfortunately, the fish was very slippery, and even with the help of Li Qing and Niu Xinjing, Sang Yuwan still failed to catch it.

Fortunately, the leader of the human-faced snake found the egg belt of this spiritual fish. There were more than a dozen second-grade fish eggs on it, and the remaining hundreds were all of medium and high first-grade quality.

The three people divided the fish eggs, and everyone got a good harvest.

In this way, after walking for almost a day, a cave with a wide view appeared in front of Li Qing and the other two.

The cave is about ten feet high and covers an area of ​​ten acres. In addition to the road they walked on, there are more than a dozen other passages.

At the top of the cave, there was a crystal stone that was integrated with the stone wall. It was ten feet square and emitted a soft halo, illuminating the cave as if it were daytime. Sang Yuwan talked with the leader of the human-faced snake for a few words.

"This is actually the holy place for communication among many intelligent races in the Yellow Sand Secret Realm?" The three looked at each other.

This is information that has never been encountered before.

Sang Yuwan had entered the secret realm twice, and Niu Xinjing had also entered it once, but neither of them had seen the underground river, let alone this holy cave.

"I have communicated with several deacons of Xuan Palace and have never heard of this matter." Niu Xinjing said firmly.

The more they talked, the more excited they became: Could it be that they had encountered a great opportunity?

As soon as the human-faced snakes arrived at the cave, they spewed out their respective magnetic beads and constructed a special magic circle.

A mysterious wave was transmitted along every passage in the cave, reaching far and wide.

Soon, all kinds of animal roars and bird calls could be heard from all over the passages.

The human-faced snake leader pricked up his ears to listen, and finally said disappointedly: "Now, there are only six brothers of different races left."

Soon, footsteps were heard in six of the passages.

Li Qing and the other two looked on curiously while secretly being on guard.

Walking towards each other along the underground river was a group of people with cat heads and human bodies. They were strong and walked lightly.

If it didn't deliberately take big steps when walking, it would be difficult to find it just by listening to the sound.

A group of golden scorpions and a group of white beetles came in from the two passages on the left. They were glowing and very eye-catching in the cave.

From the three passages on the right came out a group of frogs, a group of creatures with fish heads and human bodies, and a group of giant spiders.

Their leaders all have the strength equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Especially the leader of the cat-headed people, his blood was almost boiling, and he was actually a powerful physical cultivator close to the third level.

Currently in the entire cave, Sang Yuwan is the only one whose strength can match his.

"Hey, a human actually came in?" The cat-headed leader was slightly surprised. His voice was clear and childish, which made people feel good about it.

But Li Qing and the other two were equally surprised: what the other party was speaking was actually the standard Yuan Dynasty imperial language.

The human-faced snake introduced Li Qing and his party with a hissing sound.

The cat-headed leader didn't care much: "You are born with a clear mind and can distinguish good from evil. Since you think it's okay, you can bring it in."

Li Qing suddenly understood why the other party took the initiative to approach the three of them and completed the test in a very frivolous way.

The leader of the fish-headed people on the other side said gruffly: "The human monks have a lot of good things. It's a pity that many people only know how to rob and are not easy to communicate with."

The other four groups, like the human-faced snakes, could not speak human language, but the three of them could sense their aversion to human monks through their spiritual sense.

Li Qing couldn't help feeling ashamed.

In the short half-month exploration period of the secret realm, if Sang Yuwan had not understood the language of the human-faced snake, they would not have been so patient in contacting each other.

Time is limited. If one wants to obtain opportunities in secret realms, it is difficult not to resort to extreme means, which naturally leads to conflicts with native races.

Fortunately, there was a human-faced snake to coordinate and no unnecessary conflicts occurred.

The seven intelligent races each found a piece of open space and started this simple yet important "trading event".
