"Oh? This is good stuff..."
He sighed in admiration!
Su Han immediately saw the three people below, their faces full of pride, seemingly happy that the treasures they contributed had yielded results.
"Heavenly Emperor, actually, where we found this treasure, there were several more stones like this. It's just that there was a beast inside, so we didn't dare to go any further. If you think these are useful, I can take you to that place!" the man in the leather jacket said.
At this moment, Su Han's heart stirred!
He had never seen this thing before, but judging by its appearance, it was likely no ordinary item.
Just being able to emit pure primal energy was enough to prolong the lives of ordinary people, and Su Han instantly felt its benefits for cultivation.
As long as he held this stone every day, his cultivation speed would be many times faster than before!
"Good, you lead the way!"
As he spoke, they all set off together towards a patch of old forest behind the mass grave!
Outside, the sun was bright, but upon entering this old forest, it was very dark. The sunlight overhead was completely blocked by the tall, dense trees.
From the ground came the smell of decaying leaves.
Moreover, there seemed to be no insect chirping around, as if it were a dead land!
"We're here, it's in that hole ahead. We were all traumatized last time we went in, and we don't dare to go again! If you, Heavenly Emperor, want those stones, you can go in. It's only about six or seven meters to see those stones, not far..." the man in the leather jacket said, his eyes showing a hint of excitement that he could barely suppress.
Su Han looked at the cave, then at the three people beside him with ulterior motives, and let out a cold laugh!
He wasn't foolish enough to rush into a cave just because he saw one, especially in such an unfamiliar environment.
With a chuckle.
Su Han said, "I heard that old forests and caves usually have wild beasts. Since you three don't dare to go in, find some dry branches and some damp leaves around here, pile them up, light a fire, and fan the smoke into this cave to drive out whatever is inside first!"
*Poof!*
The three were stunned!
They never expected that Su Han wouldn't fall into their trap and would instead ask the three of them to light a fire and smoke it out. If the corpse elder inside discovered them, the three of them would surely die.
After a brief murmur, the man in the leather jacket immediately said, "Heavenly Emperor, you may not know, but these stones can't withstand smoke and fire. If we light a fire outside, perhaps the stones inside will be ruined by the smoke!"
"Yes, Heavenly Emperor, it's not that we don't dare, but we're considering you..."
"Or we can find dry firewood and branches, and after you, Heavenly Emperor, have retrieved those stones, we can smoke it out then."
The three of them shirked their responsibility, all unwilling to light the fire now, and claimed it was to avoid affecting the quality of the stones!
Seeing this, Su Han said nothing more and directly took out a lighter!
He placed a stone in his hand over the lighter and burned it... At this, they were all dumbfounded. Such a precious stone was being treated so casually by Su Han.
At the same time, they were a bit bewildered because no matter how the lighter burned, the stone remained unchanged in color, still crystal clear.
"This..." The man in the leather jacket's face showed fear. After all, he was also extremely afraid of Su Han's strength. If Su Han were to suddenly erupt now, the three of them might perish immediately.
"Alright! Since Heavenly Emperor thinks it's fine, then we'll try it. Let's go! Go pick up branches!" As he spoke, the man in the leather jacket, along with the other two, gathered some dry branches and leaves and placed them at the cave entrance.
They knew very well that the corpse elder inside was in seclusion for cultivation!
If they were to smoke inside, it would be like digging up the corpse elder's grave... But they had no choice now, they could only take it one step at a time. They would smoke it first, and then immediately run.
"Watch my signal later. This time, we must succeed and not fail. When there's movement inside, we'll run immediately, understood?" the man in the leather jacket said.
The other two nodded in unison!
The three of them lit the fire together and fanned wisps of thick smoke into the cave.
Before long, some small insects crawled out, seemingly quite affected by the thick smoke!
Suddenly!
As the smoke grew thicker, a cold cough echoed from the mountain cave!
"Cough, cough!"
Upon hearing this sound, the three of them immediately bolted and fled, only daring to look back at the cave entrance after they had run dozens of meters away.
Seeing this, Su Han chuckled and said, "What's going on? What's inside that scared you guys so much?"
The man in the leather jacket said nervously, "Heavenly Emperor, you wouldn't know, but last time I saw a pair of red eyes in the cave. It was probably a black bear or some other wild beast!"
Su Han ignored them. His gaze was now focused on the cave entrance!
In the smoke, something seemed to be crawling out bit by bit!
Upon seeing its appearance clearly, everyone around gasped!
"Damn, what kind of monster is this! Su Han, we should run quickly, this thing is too disgusting and terrifying!" Chen Yu shivered, his teeth chattering nervously.
At this moment, at the cave entrance opposite them, a figure that looked like it had been burned all over scanned its surroundings with blood-red eyes, appearing extremely angry.
Almost instantly, this thing locked its gaze onto Su Han!
"You... Who are you!"
The voice sounded like a phlegm stuck in the throat, extremely unpleasant. Su Han finally felt that the thing in front of him was likely a humanoid creature, but he couldn't be sure if it was human. In any case, it was extremely disgusting and terrifying.
"I am who I am, Su Gege." Su Han said calmly, observing the monster in front of him with great composure, wanting to see what this monster intended to do.
At this moment, the monster let out a cold snort and immediately looked at the man in the leather jacket and the others in the distance. It then looked at Su Han again. It seemed to understand something and let out a sinister laugh.
"Heh heh, a few little things dared to scheme against me. But unfortunately, I successfully broke through last night and was planning to come out of seclusion today. Since you've come to seek death, I'll have to replenish some flesh and blood now! Heh heh, let's start with... this little fatty!"
As he spoke, the monster lying on the ground immediately leaped up!
Su Han then saw that it was a creature without legs, only hands, and it moved using the immense strength of its hands!
And its mouth was filled with extremely sharp fangs, like a hybrid of a hyena and a wolf, yet possessing human intelligence!
"Hiss, Chen Yu, retreat quickly! This guy is not simple!"
