Chapter 28 Cave Exploration
"Damn it, where did Wan Jianchao go? Didn't he say he couldn't have gone far?" Gan Xiong's face was gloomy, clearly in a very bad mood.

"Who knows? Could it be that Qi Lun failed to poison her?" Wang Hu's expression was no better.

Both of them originally thought that Wan Jianchao wouldn't be able to run far after being poisoned, so they weren't in a hurry to chase him. In their hearts, they probably enjoyed the feeling of toying with their enemy.

The two of them hadn't expected that they would lose Wan Jianchao by accident. They had already searched the surrounding area several times, and even expanded the search area in the past two days.

However, the two of them couldn't find him. Wan Jianchao had simply vanished. Logically, after the poison took effect, it would be difficult for him to even walk. But after several fruitless searches, the two of them began to suspect that Wan Jianchao might not have been poisoned at all.

"There's no other way. This guy is lucky. We can't waste any more time here. We need to hurry to Stardust Gate. The sect leader and the others must have already started fighting Stardust Gate. We have to go too." After searching again without success, Gan Xiong immediately decided to give up. "That Wan Jianchao, don't show up at Stardust Gate. If he does, I'll kill him."

"Shouldn't we go check on the situation on the other side of the barrier?" Wang Hu was worried that Cao Mao within the barrier wouldn't obey.

"It's alright. The Stardust Sect members inside are definitely doomed. When the time comes, all of us from the Lion Sect will come out together. Cao Mao knows how to weigh the situation himself," Gan Xiong said confidently. "Now that the Stardust Sect is doomed, it's the wise decision to join our Lion Sect."

"Let's go." Giving up the search, the two took to the air and flew towards the Stardust Gate, quickly disappearing into the sky.

Unbeknownst to them, shortly after the two left, a man suddenly rushed out of the river not far away. It was Wan Jianchao. However, Wan Jianchao seemed to be seriously injured. After rushing out of the river, he was unable to move and collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Inside the cave at the base of the tree, Ye Feng and Shi Lei walked for a long time. Just as they were getting a little impatient, the downward stairs finally came to an end. Before them lay a spacious cave, and it seemed that there were many branching paths ahead.

Although they were deep underground and the cave was very dark, the two were still able to see their surroundings with difficulty, although their vision was greatly affected.

In such an unknown place and with such unknown circumstances, the two naturally dared not choose to separate and take different routes, and could only act together and take the same route.

However, the first route they chose eventually led to a dead end after many twists and turns, with no way forward.

"Looks like we have to go back and start over. The route here is too complicated." With no way forward, the two had no choice but to turn around and prepare to find a new route.

Just as the two turned around, several fiery red monsters suddenly appeared in front of them. Calling them monsters was no exaggeration. Their fiery red skin made people wonder if they could catch fire at any moment. They had a ferocious appearance, pointed ears, and two horns on their heads.

The Imp, level 12, seems to have no attributes, but is fearless in battle. Hint: Demon wizards can resurrect them.

Ye Feng took out the Cave-Ming Grass and checked the monster's attributes.

The monsters ahead didn't seem particularly special, except that their ability to resurrect made Ye Feng a little worried.

Just then, a little devil pounced on him, and Shi Lei, seeing this, swung his axe and chopped it down.

The little devil wasn't as strong as I thought; it was cleaved in two in no time.

Seeing their companion killed so quickly, the other little demons didn't have the courage to rush forward. Instead, they blocked their path and roared at the two of them from the side.

"Hmph, it's nothing serious." With a successful strike, Shi Lei's confidence soared.

"Be careful, don't let your guard down," Ye Feng reminded Shi Lei from the side, "these guys can come back to life."

Sure enough, the little demon's body, which had been split in two, reassembled and quickly reappeared before Shi Lei, lively and energetic once more. However, this time, the little devil dared not charge forward rashly. It seems dying once wasn't a pleasant experience.
"Damn, how are we supposed to play this?" Shi Lei was shocked to see the guy who had been split in two actually come back to life. He had never seen anything like it before. If these guys weren't so weak, Shi Lei would have considered running away.

"You hold them off, let me rush over and kill their leader," Ye Feng said to Shi Lei from behind.

Without hesitation, Shi Lei rushed forward, with Ye Feng following behind. After Shi Lei charged into the group of little demons and began fighting, Ye Feng took the opportunity to break through the encirclement and rush out.

Ye Feng had already discovered that the wizard was just around the corner. As long as the wizard who was hiding was killed, these little demons would no longer be able to revive.

Rushing to the corner, sure enough, the wizard was hiding there, secretly resurrecting the little devil.

This wizard was slightly larger than the imp, and he was holding something that looked like a wizard's staff, probably an essential tool for casting spells.

Upon seeing Ye Feng appear, the wizard stopped chanting and quickly switched to a new incantation. Soon, a fireball formed on his staff, and with a wave of his hand, the fireball hurtled towards Ye Feng.

Seeing the fireball flying towards him, Ye Feng was not in a hurry. He fell to the ground and made a cool sliding tackle, and the fireball flew over Ye Feng's head.

Given the slow casting speed, it's perfectly normal for Ye Feng to easily dodge it. Rushing in front of the wizard would be fatal for them; the wizard must be completely defenseless to resort to such a despicable tactic. Besides, wizards' fear of close combat is a universal truth in the game.

The wizard in front of him was no exception. He panicked when Ye Feng got close and even forgot to cast a spell. Ye Feng easily dealt with him with a swift stroke of his blade.

The little devils on Shi Lei's side had been killed by Shi Lei countless times. He swung his big axe, and the little devils couldn't even get close before being cleaved in two.

Finally, after one of the little devils was cleaved in two, it never got up again. Seeing this, it was clear that Ye Feng had succeeded. Shi Lei continued working quickly, eliminating the remaining little devils.

After dealing with the obstacle in their path, the two continued onward, but this time the chosen route was tragically a dead end.

On the way back, these little devils were blocking our path again.

"Ye Feng, this time you lure him away, and I'll go and wipe out the wizard," Shi Lei said, offering his terms.

"Don't you dare trick me."

"How could that be?"

After several successful teamworks, the two had become quite adept at it, and this time, their switch was no exception, and they coordinated very smoothly. They quickly dealt with the little devils blocking their way and then entered the next passage.

The passage was intricate and complex; the two had tried countless paths before finally, after entering another dead end and killing the little demon blocking their way once more, the passage began to tremble violently.

After the tremor subsided, a passage appeared behind the two people where it had been a dead end.

"Damn it, it was all a dead end. I have to kill monsters to open it up." Ye Feng cursed as he looked at the path that had appeared.

This time, what blocked their path ahead was no longer a little devil, but several giant beasts covered in fur.

Judging from its appearance at least, this behemoth is much stronger than the little devil, and its massive body suggests that it is quite powerful.

"Finally, something different. I'm tired of killing those red guys." Shi Lei picked up his axe again. "These guys are my type. Don't interfere, let me handle this." With that, Shi Lei charged forward.

Seeing Shi Lei's fighting spirit, Ye Feng was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet, but he still moved a little closer to the giant beast.

Even if I don't actually do anything, I should at least gain some experience.

The behemoth was indeed powerful, putting up a few blows against Shi Lei. However, after the battle continued for some time, Shi Lei gradually increased his strength and quickly killed the behemoth before him.

After slaying the giant beast, the two continued forward. This time, they encountered no further obstacles, and the cave gradually widened. Finally, a vast, open space appeared.

In the center of the area were several sealed stone coffins, and there were also some strange monster patterns on the walls. The two people were coming out of the passage and standing at the door looking at the center of the area.

"Holy crap, no way! We've been searching for ages, and this is where the dead are buried?" Shi Lei looked at the several stone coffins inside and felt incredibly unlucky to have stumbled upon a place where the dead are buried.

"I don't know if it's a burial site for the dead, but there are some good things in here. Look behind that stone coffin in the center. What's enshrined there?" Ye Feng said to Shi Lei, pointing to the back of the stone coffin.

The cave was dark and the visibility was poor, so Shi Lei only glanced at it briefly, focusing his attention on the stone coffin. Only after hearing Ye Feng's words did he concentrate on looking at the situation behind the stone coffin.

Shi Lei was immediately captivated when he saw it. It was just like the 'Power Fruit' he had seen outside, right there on the ground.

However, after the incident with the ancient tree illusion, Shi Lei was not sure whether the thing was real or fake. Although the temptation of the power fruit was great, Shi Lei still controlled himself and did not act rashly.

"Don't worry, this time it's definitely not fake." Ye Feng knew what Shi Lei was worried about. He had also looked at it carefully just now. He could tell that the illusion of the power fruit in the previous one was an illusion under his discerning eye. Now, he had seen this one with his discerning eye and it was indeed a real power fruit.

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and get it!" Since the Power Fruit was real, Shi Lei certainly wouldn't let it go. His already excited emotions were now uncontrollable.

"However, you'd better not act rashly. Observe the situation above carefully before you make a decision."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Shi Lei looked up and saw a huge humanoid monster perched on his head. This monster had eight claws, and if it weren't for its humanoid face, Shi Lei would have definitely thought it was a giant spider monster.
