CHAPTER 72
The Secret of the Cave
Fang Chen did not care about Long Chen killing the Ancient Green Python. After all, when he was looking for Long Chen, he also found the green blood on the ground.
Long Chen had only been in the cave for a short period of time.
Therefore, he subconsciously thought that the green python was on the verge of death …
Long Chen glanced at Fang Chen who was slowly walking over and said calmly, "You and I are both students of the academy. You want to kill me just because of a moment of anger?"
Fang Chen did not stop walking towards Long Chen when he heard this. He felt that Long Chen wanted to beg him for mercy. Immediately, he laughed loudly and said, "How dare a bumpkin like you be mentioned in the same breath as me. If it were not for the two instructors, I would have definitely beaten you into a cripple!"
Seeing that Fang Chen didn't have the slightest intention of going back on his word, and instead, his killing intent grew even stronger, Long Chen's heart gradually turned cold. The word 'mercy' was never in his dictionary when it came to his enemies.
"Then, you can only die …" Long Chen said indifferently.
Fang Chen, who was approaching him, seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He originally thought that Long Chen would directly kneel down and beg for mercy or shout for help. Who would have thought that he would spout such arrogant words before his death!
"Ignorant!"
Fang Chen roared and leaped up. The sword in his hand seemed to turn into a rain of swords. Each of the swords was aimed at Long Chen's limbs and chin.
It was obvious that he wanted to make Long Chen completely lose his ability to fight, and then torture him.
Such a ruthless method made Long Chen's eyes turn even colder. His left hand reached out as if it was plucking stars and grabbing the moon, and fell into the rain of swords …
King Tier martial skill, Star Plucking Finger!
Clang!
The sound of a sword rang out, and a cold blade appeared between Long Chen's right index finger and middle finger!
Fang Chen was only at the early stage of the fifth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm, while Long Chen's assassin was at the fifth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. His strength was comparable to the seventh level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. The difference in strength between the two was close to two to three thousand pounds.
With his powerful Divine Sense and absolute strength, Long Chen easily clamped down on Fang Chen's sword with his fingers …
"What, this … How did you do it?!" Fang Chen's expression suddenly changed. His eyes were filled with shock, and he felt his mind go blank.
Long Chen had actually used two fingers to block his sword. How was this possible?
"You don't need to know!" Chang Chen's left hand moved again, and Fang Chen felt a tremendous force coming from the sword in his hand. The webbing between his thumb and forefinger was instantly torn open, dripping with blood.
The next moment, the cold light in his hand was already on his neck.
"D-don't kill me! As long as you let me live, I can tell you a secret. It's about the secret of this Secret Cave exploration mission! "
Before Fang Chen died, he was already in a sorry state under his pants. Filth flowed out of his body. He shouted in panic, trying to survive at the last moment.
This was the Death Soul Mountain Range. Once one died and was thrown into the wilderness, not even their bones would be left behind in less than an hour!
"Secret? About this mission to explore the secret cave? "Long Chen's hand paused, and he asked thoughtfully.
Fang Chen seemed to have grasped at a life-saving straw. He hurriedly shouted, "After the academy's evaluation, the secret cave was not treated as a Land of Inheritance. Therefore, they chose to release the mission for the students to explore."
"But that's not the case, because there's a place in the secret cave that the academy hasn't explored yet. There's another secret cave in it!"
Long Chen raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "A cave in a cave?"
Fang Chen immediately nodded and continued, "Only Xiang Yun and I know this news in the whole team. We learned it from an elder who was in charge of the evaluation that day. This elder's son is an official in the empire, so he concealed this matter and told my father and Xiang Yun in exchange for his son's meteoric rise …"
When Long Chen heard this, he believed most of it. However, the long sword in his hand slashed across Fang Chen's throat.
Plop.
Fang Chen's body fell to the ground. A small crossbow had appeared on the inner side of his right hand. The crossbow was smeared with a black liquid, which was obviously a highly toxic substance.
If these stirring words had been spoken by someone else, perhaps that person would have relaxed a little and ended up being ambushed. Unfortunately, not only was Long Chen's mind as calm as water from beginning to end, his powerful Divine Sense had also clearly captured Fang Chen's every move.
When Fang Chen died, Long Chen didn't take out his jade points and elixirs to avoid extra trouble. Instead, he directly threw his body into the cave.
Then, Long Chen went directly to the Suicide Cliff in the direction he came from.
In front of the Suicide Cliff, Xiang Yun and the others all had ugly expressions. Long Chen's sudden departure made them very unhappy.
"I don't think we need to wait for him. With his strength, he'll be a burden!"
"It's going to be dark soon. If we can't enter the cave, then we can only wait until tomorrow morning …"
Just when everyone was impatient, Long Chen slowly walked out of the woods.
Da Zhuang and the shy woman saw Long Chen return safely and breathed a sigh of relief. On the contrary, Xiang Yun's face darkened and she asked, "Where's Fang Chen? Why didn't he come back with you? "
Long Chen didn't answer at all. Xiang Yun was about to attack Long Chen, but the people around her couldn't help but say, "Don't worry so much. At least Fang Chen knows the location of the secret cave. He can come in by himself tomorrow. Let's go in first …"
Xiang Yun glared fiercely at Long Chen. She secretly thought that Fang Chen was useless and couldn't catch up with Long Chen.
Everyone walked to the edge of the cliff, but the shy girl walked in front. She waved her right hand and two snake-shaped puppets appeared in front of everyone.
The puppets were more than ten meters long and as thick as an arm. They were made of some kind of metal and were very tough.
Long Chen glanced at them and shook his head. The Art of Puppetry could only be considered as an unorthodox art. It was worlds apart from the Art of Alchemy and the Art of Formations.
However, the two snake-shaped puppets bit on a hard rock and extended to the bottom of the cliff.
Everyone slid down the snake-shaped puppets and then came to a fault in the cliff. The fault was more than ten meters long and sunken into the cliff.
"The entrance formation has been opened by the Academy Elders. Of the pills and martial arts inside, seventy percent of them must be handed over to the students. The remaining three will be distributed according to the students' contributions," Xiang Yun said.
Seeing that everyone agreed, they filed in.
Although the entrance was small, the space after entering was huge. Long Chen also found some formation patterns on the walls that were similar to the ones in the Bedlam.
However, with the formation inheritance he obtained, he could tell that these formations were very crude. Although the owner of the secret cave knew a lot about formations, he wasn't an expert in them.
Huh?
After Long Chen looked around, his eyes were attracted by a black waste pill in a pile of broken objects in the corner.
Ignoring everyone's disdainful looks, Long Chen walked forward and took the waste pill in his hand. He immediately crushed it and put it at the tip of his nose.
