Douluo Continent: Reincarnation of Huo Linfei, Illusory Lin Nebula

Chapter 127 The Dark Cave

"That's great!"

"Keeping a potted plant to cultivate one's temperament seems like a good idea."

Huo Linfei held the potted plant and fiddled with the blue-gold leaves of the Blue Silver Grass.

At this time.

The branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass stretched out and wrapped around Huo Linfei's fingers.

Huo Linfei was immediately surprised.

Suddenly, he felt his energy flowing into the branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass through his hand.

"Oh my god!"

"Fatty, this Blue Silver Grass seems to absorb my power!"

"Could this be a soul beast?"

Upon hearing this, Miao Tiaojun rolled his eyes at Huo Linfei and said, "Idiot A-Fei, don't you know that Blue Silver Grass is actually a soul beast?"

"However, the lifespan of ordinary Blue Silver Grass is very short, making it one of the lowest-grade soul beasts."

"The Blue Silver Grass in your hand has probably lived long enough to become a soul beast of some age."

"Why don't you kill it and see if you can get a spirit ring or something?"

"Huh? What's that?"

Miao Tiaojun looked at an unusual spot on the stone wall, jumped around a few times, but couldn't touch it no matter what he did.

"Zhuqing, come and help me."

"Climb up there and see what's up there."

Zhu Zhuqing strode forward with her long, shapely legs. With her martial spirit in effect, her climbing ability was greatly enhanced.

With a light leap, he reached the top of the wall, and with a slender finger, he retrieved the lead box "embedded" in the wall.

"for you."

Miao Tiaojun took the lead box, overjoyed.

"I knew it, Teacher Jin was right. There must be treasure in a place like this."

"I wonder how many protagonists have made their fortunes and achieved great things by relying on these mysterious caves."

"What's in the box?" Huo Linfei came closer, looking curiously at the lead box in Miao Tiaojun's hand.

As Miao Tiaojun opened the lead box, a bright blue light suddenly burst forth from it.

"Wow! What a dazzling light!"

"This is definitely a treasure trove!"

Miao Tiaojun's eyes lit up.

When all the lead boxes were opened, the contents came into view.

"..."

Huo Linfei's lips twitched slightly, and he said with a hint of disdain:

"I thought it was some kind of precious treasure!"

"So it was just a soul bone!"

"Tch~~"

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Huo Linfei.

What do you mean by "a piece of soul bone"?

How much do you despise soul bones!

The joy on Miao Tiaojun's face faded considerably, and he said with a hint of boredom, "I thought it was some kind of martial arts manual, like the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms or something, but it's just a soul bone. How boring!"

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, speechless.

These two are fine when they don't speak, but once they start talking, they can break your defenses and leave you speechless.

At this time.

Huo Linfei noticed that as the soul bone appeared, the Blue Silver Grass in his hand seemed to become much more active, its branches and leaves swaying constantly, "pretending" and even trying to extend its branches and leaves to wrap around the soul bone.

"Is this yours?"

"You're going to take it?"

Huo Linfei slapped him down.

The Blue Silver Grass sensed the force and immediately withdrew its branches and leaves, no longer daring to continue wrapping around the soul bone.

Moreover, it seemed to be afraid of Huo Linfei's actions. The entire Blue Silver Grass withered.

"It's still a soul bone, better than nothing." Miao Tiaojun sighed, put away the lead box, and then looked into the dark stone cave.

Miao Tiaojun stared at the mysterious, bottomless cave entrance, swallowing hard. "Afei, should we go in and take a look? You know, fortune favors the bold!"

"You go and lead the charge!" Huo Linfei nudged Miao Tiaojun.

"Huh? Me?"

Miao Tiaojun's eyes darted away, and he shrank back.

But seeing that Huo Linfei and Zhu Zhuqing were both staring at him, he immediately felt that if he backed down this time, he would have no face left in the future.

"snort!"

"Who's afraid of who!"

"This crucial moment is the time for me, Slim Jun, to make my move!"

"No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife!"

Swah——

Miao Tiaojun pulled out a gleaming kitchen knife, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He turned to look at Huo Linfei and Zhu Zhuqing and said:

"Fallen rice!"

After saying that, Miao Tiaojun rushed towards the cave.

"What did he say?"

Zhu Zhuqing's questioning gaze fell on Huo Linfei.

"It means going with him."

Huo Lin quickly caught up with Miao Tiaojun's pace.

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly.

Is this a secret language between two people?

However, since the two of them had already left, she had to hurry and catch up.

After a while.

"Huo Linfei, it's so dark here, let's light a fire..." Miao Tiaojun hugged Huo Linfei, his face full of fear.

Huo Linfei felt the pressure on his body increase exponentially.

"You fatso, weren't you so cocky before?"

"Why are you chickening out now?!"

boom--

A wisp of blazing flame erupted from Huo Linfei's hand.

In an instant, the entire cave was illuminated.

The road ahead gradually became brighter.

"What kind of place is this?"

"Why is it so winding and circuitous, like a maze of twists and turns?"

Huo Linfei frowned and complained.

"Afei, did you hear anything?" Zhu Zhuqing stopped in her tracks, her delicate brows furrowed, and listened intently.

"sound?"

Huo Linfei frowned, then shook his head: "No?"

Zhu Zhuqing said softly, "I think I heard the sound of rushing water, very fast, right ahead."

Huo Linfei and Miao Tiaojun exchanged a glance.

They then quickened their pace.

When they saw the turbulent waterfall overhead, the three of them stared at each other in silence.

"So... this is the entrance to the cave..."

Miao Tiaojun scratched his head, then suddenly realized.

"You know that already? Hurry up and get off me, you're so heavy!" Huo Linfei complained.

"Who is this? So clever, actually carving out a cave behind the waterfall, that's too cunning!" Miao Tiaojun said speechlessly.

Upon hearing this, Huo Linfei retorted, "Brain? I think he's an idiot. It's pitch black, without a single ray of light, and yet he still managed to plant a Blue Silver Grass inside."

"I bet that guy will get a zero on his biology exam."

"Thanks to me, otherwise you would have been waiting to die inside."

Huo Linfei fiddled with the Blue Silver Grass, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Huo Linfei, how do we get out of here?" Miao Tiaojun scratched his head and said, "How about we go back the way we came?"

"Idiot!" Huo Linfei said irritably, "Haven't you read Journey to the West? If Sun Wukong can come and go as he pleases, so can we!"

"Charge!"

Huo Linfei put away the potted plant of Blue Silver Grass, his whole body enveloped in flames, and rushed towards the waterfall in front of him.

The turbulent waterfall, after Huo Linfei rushed out, actually formed a fault line.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing quickly said, "Little Fatty, let's get out of here while we can!"

After speaking, she moved with the grace of a swallow, leaping out of the cave.

Seeing this, Miao Tiaojun hurriedly transformed into a meatball and rushed out.

"Wait for me!"
