"Hehe, Brother Chu, no matter how strong you are, I have to express my admiration for you." Mu Gaoli chuckled at Chu Mu as he watched Luo Zhongxu and the others leave. He even changed the way he addressed Chu Mu from a four-star Saint to Brother Chu.
"You're very courageous." Xu Qingya looked deeply at Chu Mu. Xu Qingya was a goddess in many people's hearts. Even Luo Zhongxu, an eight-star Saint, admired her. If those who were infatuated with her heard this, they would probably be wild with joy. Unfortunately, Chu Mu didn't show any reaction.
"Brother Chu, good job." Yue Zhen also said.
"That may be so, but we have to think of a countermeasure." Long Yunkong said.
An eight-star Saint and seven seven-star Saints were indeed very strong opponents. Of course, if Luo Zhongxu was excluded, the seven seven-star Saints were nothing to worry about.
The troublesome one was Luo Zhongxu.
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. What's there to be afraid of?" Mu Gaoli said. As a genius of the second array, not only could he kill enemies above his level, but he was also valued by the sect. He had some life-saving methods. Therefore, even if they were to face an eight-star Saint, they wouldn't tremble in fear.
"Let's harvest these bronze roots first."
If Luo Zhongxu and the others wanted to compete with them for these bronze roots, it would be troublesome. However, it couldn't be better if they retreated on their own.
…
"Brother Luo, there are at least a thousand bronze roots. They're definitely worth more than a silver heart. Are we just going to let them have it?" Fat Rat asked.
"It's fine. In the end, everything they have will be ours." Luo Zhongxu said indifferently. His tone was cold.
"So, Brother Luo already had an idea."
"The five of them came here earlier than us. They should have a lot of harvest."
Everyone transmitted their voices, as if Chu Mu and the other four were already in their pockets.
…
"Not bad, not bad. There's a total of 1,800 Bronze Roots. This is the largest patch of Bronze Roots we've discovered so far." Mu Gaoli was very happy.
The 1,800 Bronze Roots were discovered by them at the same time. If they were to divide them equally, each person would get 20%, which was 360 Bronze Roots. In total, they would be worth 3,600 Bronze Hearts. It was quite a good harvest.
After splitting the spoils equally, the group continued to venture deeper. The direction they chose was naturally different from the direction Luo Zhongxu and the others had chosen.
After encountering Luo Zhongxu and the others, they became even more cautious. Although their speed had decreased, it was still better than being discovered.
The area of the second layer of the cave was indeed very large, and there were also many forks. Regardless of whether it was a dead end or not, as long as one walked into the forks, there would definitely be a harvest. The Bronze Root was the most basic, and there were also some other spirit herbs and ores, and so on, constantly enriching everyone's wealth.
About a day later, they arrived at a spacious area. There was an entrance right in front of them, and it was dark and serene.
The faces of the five people were all grave.
"There really is a third level." Yue Zhen's voice grew deeper.
"The third level." Mu Gaoli let out a long sigh.
Xu Qingya's eyes flickered, Long Yunkong's expression kept changing, and Chu Mu kept staring at the entrance, deep in thought.
"Shall we enter?" Mu Gaoli suddenly asked.
The third level was equivalent to the Silver Level. To them, it was extremely attractive.
Thinking about it, the most common spirit herb in the first layer was the Black Iron Root. A Black Iron Root was worth 10 Black Iron Hearts, which was nothing to them. On the second layer, the most common spirit herb was the Bronze Root. A Bronze Root could be sold for 10 Black Iron Hearts.
To them, the Bronze Heart was the true value. Then, the spiritual herbs on the third level would generally be Silver Roots. If one Silver Root was sold to the Silver City Lord Residence, it would be worth ten Silver Hearts.
Even an Eight-Star Saint or a Nine-Star Saint would be very tempted by 10 Silver Hearts.
It could be said that the spirit herbs in the third layer were the most precious and most valuable. If they could enter and plunder, their wealth would multiply several times, or even dozens of times.
However, the third layer's danger level was far higher than the second layer.
On the second floor, there were mostly Bronze-level sinners. On the third floor, there were mostly Silver-level sinners.
Any Silver Sinner, even the weakest one, had the strength of a Nine-Star Saint. It was enough to crush the five of them.
No matter how much wealth they had, if they didn't have the life to enjoy it, it would be useless. Therefore, between the temptation of great benefits and their own lives, the five of them made a choice.
"Let's go." Chu Mu said. Among the five of them, his cultivation was the lowest, but his Sword Heart was the purest. He was the least likely to be swayed by external factors.
"What a pity. There are so many Silver Hearts." Mu Gaoli sighed and turned around.
It couldn't be helped. The third level was indeed very tempting. It was incomparably huge, but it was also too dangerous. Unless all five of them had the strength of a Nine-Star Saint, they wouldn't dare to enter to explore. At the very least, if they accidentally woke up the Silver-ranked sinners, they would still have a chance to escape.
With their current strength, they would definitely be courting death if they went in. Even if the Silver Sinners were in deep sleep, their senses were far better than Bronze Sinners. Moreover, none of them could guarantee that they wouldn't encounter any Silver Sinner guards after entering the third layer.
The five of them turned around and left. They went to other forks to look for Spiritual Herbs.
After a while, another group of people arrived. It was Luo Zhongxu and the other four.
"The entrance."
"Could it be … the third layer?"
The eight of them looked at each other with a shocked expression on their faces.
"There's actually a third layer. This cave …" Their hearts couldn't help but tremble.
On the third floor, there were countless silver level spiritual herbs. That was an incomparably huge amount of wealth.
If they could get their hands on it, they would be able to raise their swordsmanship to the highest level, which was Level 9, in the shortest time possible.
It should be known that there were not many experts who had grasped the ninth level sword force. The main reason was that it required a thousand Silver Hearts, which was too difficult to obtain. Even experts who had grasped the eighth level sword force were few and far between.
"Brother Luo, are we going in?" One of them almost lost himself in the huge temptation and asked foolishly.
"Go in if you want to die." After all, Luo Zhongxu was an Eight Star Martial Saint expert. In the face of huge temptation, he could still maintain his composure.
Hearing Luo Zhongxu's cold words, everyone suddenly woke up and broke out in cold sweat.
That was the cave of countless Silver Sinners. If they were to enter, they would most likely end up as food for the Silver Sinners.
However, they couldn't accept not going in when they saw it.
"Did the five of them go in?"
"Are you stupid? Even we don't dare to go in. How would a group of Seven Star Martial Saints with a Four Star Martial Saint beginner ant dare to go in?"
"Let's go." Luo Zhongxu turned around and pondered.
Although he couldn't enter, it didn't mean that he wouldn't gain anything.
As long as he returned to the Black Demon Mansion and reported this matter, he would be rewarded greatly. Perhaps it couldn't be compared to his own exploration, but in comparison, it was still worth it. After all, there was no danger.
In fact, when everyone woke up, Luo Zhongxu wasn't the only one who had such thoughts. The others also had the same thought.
However, such a three-floored cave was extremely valuable. Only a powerful force like the City Lord Mansion could afford it. It wasn't that easy. Those weaker forces could only think about it. They couldn't touch it at all because they didn't have the power to do so.
"Now, let's leave the cave immediately and track the five of them. Follow them until they leave the cave," Luo Zhongxu said.
"Brother Luo, good idea."
"Let's do that."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
As long as they followed the five of them out of the cave, they would follow them out of the cave. At that time, they would be able to kill all of them, and everything that the five of them obtained would belong to them.
Because they had already guessed that there were at least two entrances to this cave. They didn't enter from the same entrance, so they had to follow them closely so that they wouldn't get lost.
…
"Everyone, I think trouble is coming," Chu Mu said.
"Brother Chu, you mean Luo Zhongxu and the others?" Long Yunkong asked.
"I think so. I have a bad feeling," Chu Mu said.
"There should be two entrances to this cave. The one they entered is different from the one we entered. If they want to make a move on us, they have to know where we are going. The best way is to follow us until we leave the cave," Xu Qingya analyzed. It was the first time she had said so much.
Everyone could understand what she was trying to say.
"It seems like they are really treating us as prey." Mu Gaoli's eyes flashed with a trace of blood.
No one would be happy to be treated as prey, especially geniuses like them.
"We will have to leave the cave eventually. The longer we stay, the more disadvantageous it will be." Yue Zhen said. "Apart from Luo Zhongxu, the other seven are nothing to worry about."
"Although Luo Zhongxu is an eight-star Saint, his strength is comparable to an eight-star Saint. If we join forces, we might be able to fight him, but there are others." Long Yunkong analyzed.
"Brother Chu, how strong are you?" Mu Gaoli looked at Chu Mu and asked.
"I won't be any weaker than you," Chu Mu replied seriously.
At this time, they couldn't joke around. Even if they had doubts, they had to believe Chu Mu.
"Even if Brother Chu is a peak seven-star Saint, the five of us together won't be able to contend against them. It seems like we will have to use some trump cards in the end."
After talking for a while, everyone had a rough idea of what was going on. They didn't linger on purpose, nor did they speed up to leave. Instead, they moved forward steadily and picked up the spiritual herbs. Luo Zhongxu and the other eight followed a few hundred meters away.
