This cave was located at the top of a low hill in the middle of the valley. The entrance of the cave was about 3 m wide and was surrounded by some huge ravines that seemed to have been drawn by plows. Given the topography, the hill seemed to have been damaged by an external force, which was obviously man-made. However, this was not the most important point. What was most important was that Zhang Tie found that there seemed to be some branching paths in the cave. The downward slope of the cave was very small, and the foundation of the cave was parallel to the ground. Like a mouse hole, it was not vertical, and people could easily walk in it. Even the sunlight could shine in from a slanted angle. As the weather had turned better today, the sunlight could shine into the cave for dozens of meters at a suitable angle. Just now, Zhang Tie had immediately discovered two branching paths inside.
When the natural sunlight could shine into the cave, Zhang Tie didn't hesitate any longer. He chewed up the apple in his hand and put the remaining apples in his coat pocket. After that, he drew out his long sword and walked into the cave.
When many people entered the cave of the Gold-Eating Boa for the first time, they would feel scared at the sight of the non-man-made, regular patterns on the walls of the cave. They would feel reluctant to enter such a cave. However, after becoming familiar with it and accepting it, Zhang Tie found that it was actually not a big deal. Zhang Tie had gradually become immune to the caves of the Gold-Eating Boa when he was digging in the mines. Additionally, when he was digging in the mines, he found that no wild beasts would like to stay in the caves of the Gold-Eating Boa, not to mention wild beasts, not even insects. In the evening, there were swarms of mosquitoes in the Wild Wolf Valley. However, none of the mosquitoes were willing to fly into the cave of the Golden-eating Boa. Even in the place where Zhang Tie was mining, those mosquitoes only hung outside the cave with ring-shaped patterns and never dared to fly into the cave. The ring-shaped patterns on the wall of the Golden-eating Boa's cave seemed to have a kind of magic and natural deterrence, which deterred any animals with spiritual senses from approaching it, except for humans.
There were some dried twigs and withered leaves on the ground at the entrance of the cave. There were also some soil, stones, and puddles of water. However, after walking 5-6 m inside, the entire cave became fresh. About 20 m away from the entrance of the cave, Zhang Tie came to the fork that he had seen. It was different from the two directions that one could see from the outside, but here, it was actually divided into three directions. One was underground, one was to the left, and the last one, if one didn't pay attention, would not be discovered at all. Instead, it was pointing upwards. The upward pit made Zhang Tie thrilled. As Zhang Tie didn't find any other nearby holes, it was evident that the upward pit had been completely blocked by soil and rocks. Zhang Tie glanced at the hole blocked by soil and rocks. It was a bit higher than Zhang Tie. Of course, it was not difficult for Zhang Tie to climb up. Zhang Tie only needed to exert a bit strength to climb up and enter the pit. The pit was less than ten meters deep, and it was facing the outside. As Zhang Tie had expected, a large piece of soil and rocks blocked the entrance of the cave. The space inside the cave was neither too large nor too small. However, it was very dry. In the daytime, the entrance of the cave was in the blind zone of light and shadow. In the evening, it would be even harder to be discovered.
"Here it is. I've not imagined that I'm so lucky. After only a few hours, I've already found a satisfactory foothold."
"I've made up my mind. This will be my No. 1 foothold!" Zhang Tie announced loudly in the cave before bursting out into laughter.
After bursting out into laughter, Zhang Tie didn't hesitate any longer. He undid his luggage and sleeping bag and put them on the ground. After that, he took out some apples from his pocket and threw them onto the luggage. After jumping out of the hole, he quickly ran to the entrance of the cave and peeped outside. Seeing that nobody was around, he became reassured.
After returning to the upward hole, Zhang Tie concentrated for a few seconds before entering Castle of Black Iron in a split second.
— — Handsome and Magnificent Castle Lord, welcome to the Castle of Black Iron!
The scenery in front of him instantly changed. Seeing the rolling colorful clouds in the Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie revealed a smile as if he had returned home. After coming here, Zhang Tie became completely relaxed and walked towards that small tree.
That diamond-shaped iron-body fruit, which was slightly larger than a walnut, was hanging on that familiar twig. When he came here last time, this iron-body fruit had already been fully ripe. On the twig beside the iron-body fruit, there were still two days left for the latest leakless fruit to be ripe. The leakless fruit that was about to be ripe had already become plump. Zhang Tie could faintly see the flowing luster inside the fruit.
Zhang Tie was in a good mood. "It's so nice to have fruits to eat every day. Mom really has foresight to name me Guoguo, hahahaha..."
Zhang Tie continued to walk around the small tree. This had already become his habit. He didn't know whether it was an illusion or not, but he felt that the small tree seemed to have grown a bit over the past month. Compared to the first time he saw this small tree, it looked a bit fuller and taller.
The fact proved that it was necessary to walk around the small tree twice each time he came here, because this small tree would always surprise him when he was completely unprepared.
On the other twig, Zhang Tie saw two more fruits, one of which was as large as a plum. It was pitch-black and had a hexagonal shape. It was the Trouble-Reappearance Fruit that Zhang Tie had eaten once. The effect of the Trouble-Reappearance Fruit had left an unforgettable impression on Zhang Tie.
— — Trouble-Reappearance Fruit has become ripe. Usage: Pick it and directly eat it. Notice: The fruit cannot be taken out of the Castle of Black Iron. After twelve hours of having been picked off the tree, its energy and vitality will gradually decline.
The same characters indicated that this fruit was ripe. Scratching his head, Zhang Tie thought about it carefully. 'Could it be that I've killed some more wolves recently? Therefore, this new fruit of slaughter has become ripe?'
Although this newly ripe Trouble-Reappearance Fruit made Zhang Tie happy, what really surprised him was the other fruit. That fruit's appearance alone made Zhang Tie unable to close his mouth for a long time. It was a finger-high, snow-white wolf sitting on the ground. It was like a miniature wild wolf carved by a master sculptor. On the head of the wax figure were two leaves of the Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree with peculiar shapes and patterns. The whole shape was so cute that it looked like a kid's toy.
— — Wild Wolf Seven-Strength Fruit has already condensed the strength of Qi of wild wolves. However, there are still six strengths that have not condensed yet.
— — Strength of Qi, Strength of Blood, Strength of Channels, Strength of Veins, Strength of Bones, Strength of Marrow, and Strength of Spirit. These are the seven strengths of living beings. There are fifty of them in Dayan, and there are four or nine of them. Seven-strength Fruit is the fruit of Escape. Out of the seven, one can obtain the strength of Escape. When seven and seven combine into one, there are four or nine of them. When the seven strengths condense and the fruit becomes ripe, the Escape is in the fruit. Each ripe Seven-strength Fruit contains the full life force of a single living being at its peak. After eating it, you will obtain it. This strength is the reward for the brave and the ladder for all the brave to become powerful.
The meaning of the last paragraph was a bit obscure. After reading it twice, Zhang Tie finally understood it. After understanding it, Zhang Tie felt a rush of blood rushing to his head — — I'm rich, I'm really rich this time! I've killed seven wild wolves in total and condensed the strength of Qi in the Seven-strength Fruit. According to this paragraph, as long as I kill seven more wild wolves, I will be able to condense the strength of Qi in the Seven-strength Fruit. If I continue like this, after killing forty-nine or fifty wild wolves, this Wild Wolf Seven-Strength Fruit will become ripe completely. The Escape is in it. This fruit contains all the strength of an adult wild wolf. Undoubtedly, after eating this fruit, I will have all the life force of a wild wolf. All the strength of a wild wolf! Thinking of the endurance, speed, and agility of the wild wolves in the Wild Wolf Valley, Zhang Tie couldn't help but drool. The Leakless Fruit was already a big surprise. Zhang Tie had never imagined that he could obtain a brand-new fruit that could improve his strength from this small tree. This was too exciting and exciting.
"Tut … tut …" Excited, Zhang Tie hugged the trunk of the small tree and started to kiss it. He then burst out into laughter. Only with the strength of one wolf, only with the strength of one wolf, Zhang Tie felt that he only needed one more wolf to completely close the gap between him and Glaze and Bagdad, who were born to be more powerful than the Chinese. After that, even if they were at the same level, Zhang Tie would not lose to them. However, could they catch up with the speed at which they lit their burning points? Looking at the Leakless Fruit on the other side of the small tree, which would become ripe in two days, Zhang Tie smiled …
At this moment, Zhang Tie was in an extremely good mood!
Zhang Tie chuckled as he picked off the ripe iron-body fruit and the trouble-reappearance fruit. Holding the two fruits with different shapes and colors, he carefully played with them and sniffed them in front of his nose with a satisfied look. After that, he sat down under the small tree with crossed legs and started to eat the fruits.
