Lonely Swordsman - C84

What then? Don’t worry, Chen Jing still had another card up his sleeves – his Divine Sense. Right now, Chen Jing’s Spiritual Sense had already explored more than 100 meters away. Thus, through his observation, Chen Jing discovered that the curved crevices in the rock, the protruding rocks everywhere, and the distance that he was able to scout out was more than 100 meters. He could still ensure his safety!

After understanding the situation, Chen Jing instructed his companions to find a place to hide. After all, their strength was too low, so he had to handle this matter alone. Otherwise, he might not be able to take care of it in case of an emergency.

After he was ready, Chen Jing carefully made his way into the crevice. During the first half of the journey, everything was safe and clear and Chen Jing did not discover a single person. However, the 200m area in front of him was a 4- to 5-meter wide passageway, and the end of the passage was a 1.5-meter long gorge. Chen Jing understood that if he had defense, he would definitely be at the back of the gorge. It was a pity that the two hundred metres of space had been cleared, so there was not a single obstacle. Chen Jing would be a good target if he rashly rushed out.

What should he do? Do I really have to go back?

Just as Chen Jing was about to give up helplessly, his eyes inadvertently caught sight of the top of the crack. Chen Jing could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile. Originally, the crack line was about twenty meters above his head. It had shrunk to a width of one to two meters, and there were quite a few twisted obstructions.

Thinking of this, Chen Jing flew upwards, following the obstruction all the way to the gorge. When he reached the last obstacle, he was less than 50 meters away from the gorge.

Leaning back against the protruding stone wall, Chen Jing released his soul consciousness to check the back of the gorge. Sure enough, three people were sitting around the gorge drinking wine, with two huge crossbows on each side, and each crossbow had three giant steel arrows more than one meter long. Looking at the thick leaf spring and the sharp blue tip of the crossbows, Chen Jing guessed that each of them could pose a great threat to him!

A weapon that Chen Jing was not familiar with was placed on the stage in the middle. It looked like a gun, but its exit was a horn shaped. Chen Jing remembered that there was a Ming Dynasty gun that looked similar to this weapon, but its size was much smaller. In any case, what Chen Jing was sure of was that this item was definitely a weapon. Plus, if it was placed in the middle, it might be even more powerful than the crossbows on both sides of the bed.

As a result, Chen Jing probed the gun’s chamber with his consciousness. Inside the chamber, there were only ten-odd steel balls about the size of a centimeter, but no propellant was found. However, there was a diamond sparkling gem embedded at the bottom of the chamber, which Chen Jing guessed was probably the crystal they had previously introduced.

It seemed that he could go in after taking care of the three inside. Chen Jing was about to make his move, but he suddenly felt uneasy.

“That’s not right!” “This level of defense is quite decent against a few mercenary groups, but against a large group of mercenaries that is here to exterminate them, so it’s definitely not as simple as this.”

Thinking of this, Chen Jing calmed down and continued his investigation. As expected, before he released his soul consciousness, he saw something different with his eyes. On the right side of the stone wall, there were five square feet of windows. There were five windows in a rectangular stone room, and behind each window, there was a bed crossbow. Three huge arrows were facing the window, and behind the bed crossbow was a row of boxes, half of the boxes contained steel crossbow bolts, while the other half contained fist-sized black balls. Finally, Chen Jing found explosives inside the balls. It seemed that this was the true defense.

Seeing this, Chen Jing couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. Thankfully the Black Wind Sect had cleared the obstacles on the ground, otherwise, if Chen Jing had entered this space, he would have been pierced by the crossbow arrows or blown into pieces by the bombs! Thank goodness.

Similarly, there were five people in the stone chamber, and they were also eating. The situation on both sides was almost exactly the same. The matter now was simple. As long as Chen Jing took care of these 13 people, he would be able to continue moving forward. Of course, taking care of these 13 people was not difficult for Chen Jing.

Ten minutes later, after Chen Jing had finished dealing with the thirteen people, he continued to advance another two hundred meters. The crack in the rock suddenly became narrow, and on the right side was a cave entrance of about five meters in diameter. Moreover, there was still a small amount of water flowing out, and at the bottom of the cave was a half acre deep pool.

Seeing this, Chen Jing somewhat understood. The bandits of Black Wind Cave might not be living behind the stone gorge as people had imagined, but they might be living inside this karst cave. The two bandit groups in front of them had been even more wronged than Dou Er. So what if they had gone through so much trouble to kill the two falcons? In the end, it was all for naught!

There was no light here, so Chen Jing had to use his divine sense to find the way. On the left side of the pool was a smooth stone wall, but on the right side was a stone path that led upwards along the stone wall, straight into the cave. Chen Jing naturally followed the stone steps into the cave.

This kind of karst cave, this kind of terrain was very common on Earth. Chen Jing was naturally used to it, so he walked straight into the stone passage. The cave was slanted upwards. It seemed that the water that came from the cave had turned the mountain into a stone gorge. This karst cave was sometimes big and sometimes small. Chen Jing walked for a mile and still couldn’t see the bottom. Suddenly, he heard footsteps in front of him and a ray of light appeared in his eyes.

Chen Jing hurriedly hid himself. Not long later, he saw two people walking out with lanterns in their hands. When they arrived at Chen Jing’s side, Chen Jing naturally moved quickly, instantly controlling the two of them.

“Speak, what are you guys going to do? “How many people are there in total?” Chen Jing asked the person he was holding after killing one of them.

“Who are you? We are the King’s men, do you want to rebel? ” This person clearly hadn’t figured out the situation and thought it was a internal conflict.

“Who do you care? Answer the question honestly, do you want to go with that person?”

“No, no, no, are you from the Second King? However, I suggest that you tell the two great kings that even though their great king is injured, his strength will not be affected much. The two great kings cannot defeat their great king.

“Cut the crap! What’s going on?”

“Yes, yes. The King knew that the two great kings were plotting something evil, so he joined forces with the three great kings and four great kings to snatch the King’s Heavenly Sesame. The King pretended to be heavily injured and wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate the two great kings.”

“You are the King’s man, why do you say that?”

“It’s like this, my lord. The King is getting more and more brutal. He has already killed quite a few brothers, and all of them are on tenterhooks.”

“Un, so that’s how it is. Right, what’s your name? “And you haven’t told me where you’re going yet.”

“Reporting to the lord, this little Zhu Ergou, we are going to exchange for Qiang Zi and Er Bin, who are on sentry outside, to eat.”

“Oh, there’s no need to go. Bring me to see your King now.”

“Lord, this is the King’s room.” Ten minutes later, Chen Jing was led by Zhu Ergou to a room.

“Knock on the door!” Chen Jing ordered.

“Milord, I, I don’t dare.” Zhu Ergou was obviously very scared.

“Knock, just let me handle this.” Chen Jing shouted.

Duk Duk Duk!” Under Chen Jing’s pressure, Zhu Ergou had to muster up the courage to lightly knock on the door three times. However, after a long time, there was no reply. “Duk Duk Duk Duk!” “Duk Duk Duk!” Still no reply!

Seeing this, Chen Jing stretched out his divine sense to scan the area. He already knew what was going on, so he stepped forward and stamped his foot. “Clang!” The door was kicked open.

“Ah!” A high-pitched scream suddenly sounded out, followed by an angry yell, “… “Are you looking to die?” In the room, there was a huge bed, and there was one that looked like it was looking for death. The woman was … Screaming, while the other fat man … He got up from the bed, cursing.

Chen Jing was here to exterminate the bandits, so naturally, he didn’t want to say anything. He raised his sword, and with a “kacha” sound, he sliced off the man’s head. Only then did Chen Jing raise his eyes to take a look did he notice the naked woman. This woman’s mouth was wide open and had not closed for a long time. Behind her, Zhu Ergou was paralyzed with fear by the door.

“Get up and take a look, is this guy really your king?” Chen Jing stepped forward and gave him a kick.

“It, it’s the King!” Zhu Ergou trembled as he stood up.

“Er Gouzi, go and look for it. See if there’s anything good.”

“Yes, milord.” Zhu Ergou walked forward familiarly, pushing open a bookshelf by the wall with all his might. Then, he turned the switch and opened a small door behind the bookshelf.

“Hmm, Ergou, why are you so familiar with this place?” Chen Jing was curious.

“Reporting to the Lord, Ergou served the King before, and once he accidentally saw the King push aside a bookshelf.” Zhu Ergou said cautiously.

“Ok, Ergou, you’re not bad. Follow me from now on.” Seeing how honest this Zhu Ergou was, Chen Jing could not help but like him a little.

“Sir Xie, Ergou will be loyal to you in the future.” Although Zhu Ergou was honest, he was not stupid, and naturally knew that the lord in front of him was powerful, and that he would not lose to him.

“Alright, Ergou, let’s go over and take a look. Don’t worry, we won’t treat you unfairly.”

The room was not big, about ten square meters or so, and on the left side was a wooden shelf, on top of which were several dozens of small boxes and bottles. The most attractive one was a brown colored wooden box. Chen Jing examined it for a moment before opening the wooden box. Inside was a Nine Leaf Grass that was as black as ink, emitting a faint fragrance. Chen Jing naturally did not recognize this, but it was definitely a rare treasure.

Not knowing what was going on, Chen Jing naturally put it down and turned to look at the other items, but who would have thought that there were 5 or 6 of them, including grass, fruit, and stone. Chen Jing did not recognize any of them, but just as he was about to stop looking, he suddenly heard Zhu Er Gou yell, “Found it, Sir! Found it!

Chen Jing turned around and saw Zhu Ergou holding an open milky white jade box. Inside the jade box was a pink mushroom, and upon closer inspection, Chen Jing realized that he actually recognized this mushroom. Wasn’t it the pink fir fungus he had eaten before? However, this fir fungus had already spread out its crown, and its size was three to four times larger than the previous one!

“Lord, this is the Sky Sesame Seed. The King brought someone to snatch it back a few days ago. The value of this Sky Sesame Seed is much higher than all the items in this room!” After finding the Heavenly Sesame seed, Zhu Ergou was obviously very excited as he introduced it to Chen Jing. It seemed like Zhu Ergou was a good slave by nature, but unfortunately, the King of Black Wind Cave didn’t use anyone.

“Hmm, tell me, what is the value of this Sky Sesame Seed?” Although the fir fungus Chen Jing has eaten, but do not know its value.

“Lord, this is Heavenly Sesame!” Chen Jing’s idiocy naturally shocked Zhu Ergou.

“About this, didn’t I ask you to introduce us?” Chen Jing, of course, was dumb enough to know his hardships.

“Lord, the Heavenly Sesame Seed contains life spirit energy. It is the main ingredient to refine the Ruan Spirit Pill and one of the main ingredients to refine the Longevity Pill. It was a Heavenly Sesame! “According to the legends of the martial world, the king of the Po Luo Country in the west got his money from a stalk of Heavenly Sesame.” Zhu Ergou said with glowing eyes.

“Well, really? But since you know how precious the sesame seed is, why don’t you just hide it and go and change it to a king? ” He didn’t expect that the Fir Pink Mushroom would be so precious. It seemed that he had wasted his chance to eat it. However, he still had some doubts in his heart, so he voiced them out.

“Hehe, my lord, Ergou has thought of this before, but he knows that Ergou does not have the ability to trade for a king. Furthermore, Ergou had just mentioned the Heavenly Sesame Seed in front of the lord. Therefore, Ergou believed that if the lord was up to no good, he would not be able to get through. ” Ergou said in embarrassment.

“En, not bad. You are very smart. Good. Very good. Don’t worry. I will not let you regret your decision today.” Chen Jing was a generous person. Although Ergou was a servant, his actions today had helped him greatly. Therefore, Chen Jing decided to give Ergou one if he could concoct a pill in the future, or one that could extend his lifespan. Of course, if there was only one, then he could only make it up to her from other sources.

“Alright, there are still so many treasures here. Let’s find something to store them in.” Chen Jing looked around as he spoke. In the blink of an eye, he saw a large wooden box on the upper right wall. He stepped forward to open the wooden box. Beside the wooden box was a messy box that contained all sorts of spiritual medicines.

“Come, Ergou, put all the treasures on the shelf into this box.” After saying that, he placed the jade box in his hand onto the lid and casually placed it into his bosom. After all, this thing was too precious.

There were too many wooden boxes, jade boxes, and bottles on the shelves. Although the remaining space of the wooden boxes was quite large, it was still less than half filled. Chen Jing didn’t know how to deal with these treasures, but it was imperative to deal with the rest of the bandits first. Therefore, Chen Jing said to Ergou, “Ergou, let’s leave these here. We’ll deal with the other matters first.”
