"Let's go, it seems to be right in front."
Seeing He Sisi stop, Senior Sister Miao became anxious. The place where the treasure light shone seemed to be not far ahead.
"Senior Sister, you walk in front, I'm a bit scared."
He Sisi hesitated slightly. She also felt that the treasure was not far away. As long as they could find something good, this trip to the Dragon Burial Ground would not be in vain. If there was a lot, they could split it evenly with Senior Sister Miao. If there was a little …
This was a very serious problem. There might really be a treasure in the cave, and it might be a very precious one at that. However, there was a problem. The more precious something was, the more tempting it would be. It would be fine if there were two, as everyone could have one. But what if there was only one? Senior Sister Miao's Cultivation was higher than hers. If she got greedy …
"What are you afraid of? We're almost there. There's no one else here."
Senior Sister Miao did not notice He Sisi's thoughts and volunteered to lead the way. She was at the Martial Condensation Cultivation, while Junior Sister He was at the Qi Cultivation. Even if He Sisi ambushed her, she would not be able to hurt her. As the leading Senior Sister, she still had this confidence.
"Found it!"
Senior Sister Miao rushed forward. He Sisi did not want to fall behind and quickly followed. They had already reached the deepest part of the cave. There was an obvious hole in the wall, and there was a small treasure box in it. The box was made of ancient wood, and the sides were inlaid with gold. The lid of the box was inlaid with a large jewel that shone brightly and dazzled everyone's eyes.
He Sisi was slightly regretful now. If she had not changed positions, she would have been the one to grab the item first. If there were three treasures in the box, Senior Sister Miao would have at least two. If there was only one, she would not be able to get it.
Just the gem inlaid on the box was not ordinary. The item inside was at least of the Earth Tier, maybe even of the Heaven Tier. It was too late to think about this. Senior Sister Miao grabbed the box and pulled it out.
"Junior Sister He, we're rich."
Senior Sister Miao held the box, eager to open it and see what was inside. But the more anxious she was, the more she could not find a way to open it. She was so anxious that she wanted to put it on the ground and cut it open with a sword. However, he was afraid of hurting the treasure inside, so he didn't dare to make a move.
"Senior Sister, behind you …"
He Sisi's face was filled with fear as she stared at Senior Sister Miao's back.
"What happened behind me?"
Just as Senior Martial Sister Miao was about to turn around, she suddenly thought of something. Not only did he not look back, but he also stared straight at He Sisi with a disdainful smile. Trying to use this kind of trick to trick children in front of his Senior Sister was simply too childish.
She actually wanted to trick me into turning around and then launch a sneak attack. I didn't expect Junior Sister He to be such a person. Miao Yifeng stared straight at He Sisi. Her eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to see through a person's heart.
"You, you … I, I …"
Senior Sister Miao's gaze sent chills down He Sisi's spine. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't. The fear in her eyes continued to spread. In the end, he simply let out a blood-curdling scream, turned around, and ran. In his panic, he dropped the sword in his hand.
"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you. You're still too young to compete with me."
Senior Martial Sister Miao looked at He Sisi's fleeing figure and smiled confidently. She put away the sword in her hand. She held the treasure box with both hands, intending to take it out and study it slowly. She suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she turned around.
"Ah …"
It was the same blood-curdling scream, but it was a hundred times more miserable than He Sisi's. The place where the treasure box was previously placed was now emitting boiling hot oil. No wonder there was a smell of fried oil. So it was coming from here.
The hot oil flowed faster and faster, and it had already reached Miao Yifeng's feet. She was so scared that she wanted to run. But the treasure box in her hand suddenly became incomparably heavy. It was so heavy that she couldn't move at all, and even her waist was bent.
"No, don't."
Miao Yifeng still refused to put down the treasure box. She used all her strength to lift it up, intending to put it into her storage bag. But the treasure box was very strange. It couldn't be put into the storage bag at all. This could only mean one thing. The item was of an extremely high grade, or it was a spatial treasure.
How could she miss such a good treasure? Miao Yifeng lifted the treasure box and moved forward with difficulty, intending to slowly move out of the cave. But the hot oil flowed faster and faster. It wouldn't wait for her at all. The boiling hot oil finally flowed to her feet.
"Ah!"
Another blood-curdling scream. The hot oil burned her feet, causing Miao Yifeng to grimace in pain. But she didn't want to give up. She used her true essence to protect her feet and legs, and continued to lift the treasure box with difficulty. Even if she went to the Skeleton Earth Palace, she might not be able to find such a treasure. Even if she found it, it definitely wouldn't belong to a weakling like her. She finally found it in a cave in the wilderness. How could she let it go?
"Sizzle …"
Soon, the boiling hot oil reached her calves, and the air in the cave started to become scorching hot. Miao Yifeng's sweat dripped onto the hot oil and immediately turned into steam. Her true essence was quickly being consumed, and the barrier was about to shatter. If she didn't give up now, her leg would be crippled.
"No, I don't want it. Why is it like this? This belongs to me, Miao Yifeng. Why won't you let me take it away? "
Miao Yifeng thought that she had fallen into a trap in the cave, which was why the hot oil flowed out. She thought that she just had to hold on a little longer and move further away from the hot oil. But the hot oil flowed more and more, and it had already reached her thighs. And her true essence was about to run out. Once the barrier shattered, her two legs would be directly soaked in the hot oil. Her body's toughness had not reached the level where she didn't fear water and fire. If she was really scalded, she would definitely die.
"Pa!"
In the end, the true essence barrier was still broken. The boiling hot oil just happened to reach Miao Yifeng's thighs, and began to move towards her lower abdomen. The lower abdomen was the most important place for a martial artist, where the dantian was located. Being scalded by the hot oil, she immediately lost all her strength. She pushed with both hands, and the treasure box fell straight into the rising hot oil.
At this time, it was impossible for Miao Yifeng to fish anymore. She activated the remaining true essence in her body, wanting to make a final struggle before death. But after the treasure box fell, it was as if a large hole had opened up in the ground. The hot oil gushed out and instantly engulfed her.
