Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"It's time to leave here..."

Lu Feng stood up and looked into the depths of the valley, where the stream was downstream and could also be the exit.

After these days of seclusion and healing in the nameless valley, he not only reached the sixth level of the Body Refinement Realm and rebuilt his missing left arm, but also broke through to the "Great Completion" level in the cultivation of the Phantom Blade Technique, and his strength has greatly increased!

Right now, besides missing his childhood sweetheart and fiancée Ye Yun, Lu Feng's mind is filled with thoughts of seeking revenge against the Tomb Raiders!

Splash!

He leaped into the middle of the stream and was seen drifting downstream, continuing his journey into the depths of the valley.

However, as they ventured deeper into the valley, the original stream became increasingly narrow, eventually turning into a tiny creek no bigger than a basin, blocked by a towering, precipitous mountain.

"No way out?"

Looking at the towering mountains before him, Lu Feng frowned.

This place is surrounded by sheer cliffs that rise into the clouds, making it a natural prison even for birds of prey.

As for the only way out of this secluded valley, the stream is only about the size of a basin. Not even a three-year-old child could squeeze through it, let alone an ordinary adult man.

"No wonder that old man from the Central Continent Pill Alliance was trapped and died here back then..."

Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but look solemn.

At this moment, he finally understood the cause of death of Wang Fuling, the former disciple of the Pill Alliance.

With Lu Feng's current strength, it would be a pipe dream to try and break through the steep mountain in front of him by himself, unless he could grow wings and fly away.

"Young Master Lu, you usually seem quite clever, how come you've become so stupid now?"

Just when Lu Feng was at a loss, Gu Canyang floated out of the treasure basin again, seemingly having seen a way to break the deadlock.

"Old man, what do you mean by that...?"

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment.

"Every cause has its effect."

Gu Canyang stroked his beard and smiled, saying softly, "Do you really think that strange fish at the bottom of the icy spring was born there?"

"I see... I see!"

As soon as the other person finished speaking, Lu Feng's expression turned serious, and then he suddenly realized what was going on.

He had been searching for the exit of the valley, but he almost forgot about another important clue: the nameless ice spring at the fork in the stream.

As Gu Canyang described, the reason why so many strange gray fish thronged and gathered at the bottom of the ice spring was clearly due to some other reason, perhaps even something more.

It conceals an exit to the outside world.

Having made up his mind, Lu Feng returned to the shore of the ice spring by the same route.

thump!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Feng plunged into the bottom of the spring and swam towards the depths.

Glug glug...

The icy spring water swept over Lu Feng, causing him to shiver and feel a chill.

If it were an ordinary sixth-level Body Refinement Realm martial artist, they would hardly be able to resist this bone-chilling cold. They would have to get ashore after only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, otherwise they would most likely be frozen to death and turned into an ice sculpture!

However, Lu Feng was no ordinary person. During the days he was trapped in the secluded valley, he ate nearly a thousand gray strange fish, and his physical strength increased several times over!

Although Lu Feng cannot yet withstand the power of magical artifacts with his physical body, resisting mere cold air is no problem for him!

Hiss hiss hiss…!

Beneath the icy spring, undercurrents surged, and faint, piercing sounds echoed from all around, as if the commotion on Lu Feng's side had also attracted the attention of the swarm of gray monster fish.

Although these gray, strange fish were bloodthirsty by nature, none of them dared to approach Lu Feng at this moment, allowing him to swim around at the bottom of the ice spring as if he were in an empty place.

After all, during the days he was trapped in the valley, Lu Feng spent his days fishing and hunting, and occasionally used these strange gray fish to practice his knife skills.

Although these gray fish had weak demonic energy, they had developed a sliver of intelligence and knew how to avoid danger, so they naturally dared not provoke Lu Feng at the moment.

"This is... a vent for the undercurrent?"

Swimming deeper into the bottom of the ice spring, Lu Feng noticed that the water around him was all flowing in the same direction, which secretly pleased him.

"There really is an exit here!"

"Hahaha, it seems the heavens have truly spared me...!"

The next moment, Lu Feng immediately increased his speed and swam towards the direction where the water flowed.

Another half incense stick's time passed, and as the surrounding water flowed more and more rapidly, a hidden outlet of the undercurrent slowly appeared in front of Lu Feng.

"Found it...!"

Lu Feng was overjoyed and immediately covered his head and plunged towards the exit of the dark current, disappearing in an instant.

.....

Outside the White Tiger Hall, the headquarters of the Tomb Raiders.

Two disciples were standing guard on either side of the scene. The surroundings were completely silent, and the atmosphere was tense and menacing.

Clearly, this place is a key area of ​​the Mojin Sect, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it.

Swish!Swish!

Suddenly, two figures appeared out of thin air and landed one after the other outside the White Tiger Hall.

"Ji Rufeng, you'd better stop right there!"

"This time, I'm going to teach you a lesson in front of Boss Sha...!"

Cui Gu, heavily pregnant, glared angrily at Ji Rufeng, who, with a solemn expression and furrowed brows, seemed to be ignoring her and had other thoughts on his mind.

"Greetings, Master Cui! Greetings, Master Ji!"

Upon seeing this, the two disciples of the Tomb Raider Sect who were on guard duty immediately stepped forward and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Get lost!"

Cui Gu waved his hand, his anger still simmering.

The two disciples of the Tomb Raider Sect dared not provoke the other party and immediately retreated.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. Faced with the battle between the two hall masters, Cui Gu and Ji Rufeng, these ordinary disciples naturally could not afford to offend them, nor did they dare to get involved.

"Hey Cui, everyone knows how wise and powerful Boss Sha has always been. Do you really think he'll listen to your words?"

Seemingly unable to bear Cui Gu's incessant chatter behind him, Ji Rufeng finally turned around and glanced at him, his face showing displeasure.

"Hmph, if you hadn't deliberately stopped me, I would have cleaved that Lu Feng in two long ago. That way, I could have given Boss Sha an explanation. Why am I now nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead?"

Cui Gu snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with hostility as he looked at Ji Rufeng.

Although Lu Feng was doomed to die when he jumped off the cliff, if Ji Rufeng hadn't interfered, he could have used Lu Feng's body to pay tribute to his dead brothers and also collect a reward from Sha Wuqiu.

In his view, the other party was definitely doing it on purpose, just to disgust him!

After all, he and Ji Rufeng had always been at odds within the Tomb Raiders' Sect, with numerous conflicts.

"Hmph, so noisy...!"

Facing the aggressive Cui Gu, a barely perceptible killing intent flashed in Ji Rufeng's eyes, but he did not act on it and turned to step into the White Tiger Hall.

He had been secretly plotting for decades to seize the position of leader of the Tomb Raiders Sect, and he certainly wouldn't ruin the whole situation by acting impulsively.

....

On the other side, at the mouth of a stream in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains.

Bang!

As the rushing stream plunged into the riverbed, a figure in a gray robe suddenly leaped out, like a caged dragon breaking free, landing steadily on the ground.

"Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, I'm finally back!"

Looking at the vast forest before him, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, Lu Feng could not hide his excitement. He put his hands on his hips, looked up at the sky, and laughed heartily.
