Chapter 191: One Step Ahead

Li Yuanqing gently clenched his fists. When his fingers closed, the necks of the two monkeys shrank as the space in his hands shrank. These two apes, who were at the fourth or fifth stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, died silently in their boss’s bedroom. They did not even leave any traces of resistance.

Li Yuanqing casually threw the corpses of the two apes into his domain. The Man-eating Vine easily caught them and devoured their bodies.

Facing the door in front of him, Li Yuanqing slapped it effortlessly. The powerful force immediately destroyed the array formation on the door.

He had studied array formations for a period of time. Such a strong array formation was not difficult for him.

When the small door opened, what greeted his eyes was a dazzling array of jewels. Among them were mountains of spirit stones and countless artifacts.

Although the demons had no use for these jewels, they especially liked to collect the treasures of these humans. They treated these things as their collection and did not use them. They just hang them on their shelves for display. They just felt comfortable looking at them.

Li Yuanqing knocked on some treasures of good quality and placed them into his domain. He was not sure what he was going to do with them.

All the spirit stones were moved into the domain. In a short while, half of the huge cave was empty.

However, Li Yuanqing discovered something very strange. It was in the deepest part of the cave. This was a very strange vine. The huge vine extended out and spread out, occupying the deepest part of the cave and the inner wall.

Li Yuanqing looked up at the wall of blood red vines. A dangerous aura rose in his heart.

“Master, this thing makes me feel extremely uncomfortable.” The Man-eating Vine suddenly appeared beside Li Yuanqing.

At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the huge ball of meat at the center of the blood red vine. The crack opened like a human eyelid, revealing a huge blood-red eyeball. It stared coldly at Li Yuanqing. How terrifying was this scene?

Li Yuanqing slowly pulled out the sword in his hand. Although he did not know what this thing was, he felt that it was not something good. It was not a good thing to let him live.

However, at this moment, the big eyeball suddenly made a sound and begged Li Yuanqing for mercy. “Young Hero of the human race, please spare my life!”

Li Yuanqing quietly watched as he held the sword in his hand, ready to attack at any moment. “Who are you? Why are you here?”

“I’m a blood vine and have some ability to predict fortune and misfortune. Therefore, I was taken over by Tarzan and was raised by him as he asked me to help him do some things. However, since Tarzan is dead, you are my new master.”

“You said you can do divination?”

“I’m not talented. I have some ability to predict fate, so I’m not considered agile. However, I’m more or less useful. If Master can trust me.”

The Man-eating Vine bared her teeth and looked at the blood vine. She clearly did not have a good temper towards this fellow clansman.

Li Yuanqing looked at him and asked, “Since you can predict fortune, why did Tarzan die there?”

The blood vine lowered its eyes respectfully. It was very abrupt to see a humble appearance on such an ugly face. “If Tarzan knew his limits, he wouldn’t have thought of occupying Rong City. I’ve already reminded him, but he doesn’t believe me.”

“Nonsense!” The Man-eating Vine pouted and looked at him. “The stronger your host is, the more benefits you can obtain. Tarzan is no longer useful to you, so you killed him and found a new host. Isn’t that what you wanted?”

Hearing the Man-eating Vine’s words, the Blood Vine let out an awkward laugh. “Little sister, you’re right. I did have something to do with his death, but Tarzan deserves to die. Sooner or later, this Catacombs world will belong to the human race. I don’t want to serve him anymore. Other than having some bad habits, this stinky monkey doesn’t have any other strengths.”

Li Yuanqing listened to the commotion behind him and finally looked at the blood vine. “Do you have the ability to transform your body?”

“Master, please wait a moment.” The blood vine’s voice was clearly filled with excitement.

The huge vines that covered the wall slowly shrank inward. In the end, all the vines gathered in the middle. This huge lump hung on the wall like a huge tumor. Then, this huge tumor slowly shrank until it was the size of a person. Then, it fell from the wall with a plop, as if a fruit had ripened and landed.

The Blood Vine rolled to Li Yuanqing’s feet. Li Yuanqing raised his hand and kept the huge lump of meat into his domain.

“Master, he doesn’t look like a good person. Why did you take him in?” The man-eating vine complained unhappily.

“He seems to have some ability. We’ll talk about how to deal with him when we get back. Those monkeys are about to catch up, it’s better not to complicate things now. We still have another place to go.”

As Li Yuanqing spoke, he hurriedly put away some useful things and left the cave filled with treasures. He left silently. Not long after he left, a group of monkeys rushed in while arguing.

“Get lost! This is mine!”

“You’re the one who should get lost!”

They waved the weapons in their hands and ran in while arguing. There were not many who could escape, but now, they were fighting again. For a moment, the entire mountain was filled with shouts.

Blood mixed with pieces of flesh kept exploding in all directions. Moreover, it was as if the monkeys did not feel anything. Their eyes were red from killing. They did not retreat even when their bodies were covered in blood.

However, when the final winner charged into the cave where the treasures were hidden, they were all dumbfounded.

“Who did it? I’m going to kill them!”

These monkeys were wailing, but Li Yuanqing was already a hundred miles away. He’s rushing towards the other side, where the people seemed to be fighting.

The members of the Flying Dragon Clan gathered outside the snake cave. Although there were many entrances to the snake cave, they were all on guard and no one dared to enter first. If they ran forward and were suddenly ambushed from behind, it would be difficult for them to even turn around with their size. Therefore, they had to discuss it now.

“Since the boss is already gone, I’ll see how many people are left. Just split these treasures. There’s no need to fight to the death.”

“These treasures were left to us by the Boss in the first place. If we continue to fight like this, our Flying Dragon Clan will fall apart and we will never have the chance to rise again.”

Someone even shouted, “In my opinion, we shouldn’t split these things. We should continue to be united and bring this place to greater heights. This is the base of our Flying Dragon Clan. We can’t destroy it just like that.”

The statement of unity, although it sounded ridiculous, was supported by many people. This was because these people wanted to take advantage of the situation. When someone let down their guard, they would naturally be able to obtain more benefits.

As time passed, the remaining members of the Flying Dragon Clan gradually gathered here. There were a few people who had the right to speak in the past, but in this situation, no one would listen to them.

“The treasures of Long Tianzun are naturally all obtained by our Flying Dragon Clan. However, the death of our boss is strange. In my opinion, we should avenge our boss first!”

“Seventh Elder, your words are simple. You’ve seen the power of that human. Have you thought about whether you have that ability if we want to take revenge on him?”

“That’s right. Even our boss isn’t his match in the first place. Let’s not talk about it.”

“Then according to you, we can only fight to the death and find an outcome.”

“There’s no need. Our boss said that those who are capable can take them. Now that he is gone, in my opinion, everyone should split them in order. At that time, these treasures will be easy to split.”

When Li Yuanqing arrived, these snakes were discussing the competition.

They had already decided on it. They would each choose a few groups to fight as groups. Each group would calculate the total number of wins and rank them according to the number of wins they had. When the time came to go in and distribute the treasures, everyone would have their own basis.

Li Yuanqing did not expect that these snakes would have a more appropriate arrangement than those apes. Those apes were all killing each other, and there were not many left.

Li Yuanqing did not wait for them to argue. He sneaked into the snake cave when they were not paying attention.

This snake cave was very tall. Compared to ordinary snake caves, the ceiling here was much higher.

This was because they were from the flying snake clan. Although they considered themselves to be from the dragon race, they were still snakes in the end. It was just that they had wings, so this cave had to be built wider to prevent inconvenience.

Li Yuanqing sensed something and headed in the direction of the cave.

The shouts outside never stopped. Li Yuanqing slowly walked forward under their shouts. After walking for about a few thousand meters, he suddenly arrived at a heavy door.

There was a huge door, but because it was flat on the ground, it was a little strange. It looked like the cover of a patio. There was naturally a powerful array formation on the lid.

Li Yuanqing stretched out a hand without hesitation and pressed it heavily against the huge door. He easily shattered the door. The defensive array covering it disappeared almost instantly.

A defensive array of this level was not a threat to him. However, as the defensive array here was shattered, the entire snake cave shook.

They never expected that while they were still fighting for the spots outside, the array inside had already been forcefully shattered.

“Oh no, someone beat us to it!”

They were still fighting in an orderly manner just now, but they couldn’t care less now. After looking at each other, they crawled into the nearest snake cave. The door inside had already been shattered. If they didn’t go in now, everything inside would be taken away and they would have nothing left.

Li Yuanqing fell straight down from the huge circular hole. This original pillar was bottomless. Long Tianzun had turned this place into a huge treasure vault. He dug countless holes on the original walls on both sides. These holes were guarded by transparent barriers, and all kinds of treasures were displayed inside.

Li Yuanqing erupted with powerful strength without hesitation. Almost in an instant, he shattered all the protective membranes.

Li Yuanqing then used a powerful traction technique to collect all the treasures placed inside.

One by one, the treasures were taken into Li Yuanqing’s domain. The large amounts of treasure formed a river, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, and flowed into his domain, as it formed a vortex above Li Yuanqing’s head. It spun and sucked into Li Yuanqing’s body.

As long as these treasures reached Li Yuanqing, it was as if they had entered a black hole. They no longer had any life and disappeared one by one. After collecting everything, Li Yuanqing soared into the sky and rushed out of the cave.

The moment Li Yuanqing rushed out, a huge flying snake arrived. Its snake eyes were filled with red light as it glared at Li Yuanqing angrily.

“How dare you come to our place to steal!” The snake spoke and roared angrily before charging towards Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing did not say anything else. He pulled out his sword and swung it. The unparalleled power emitted from it made the snake regret it.

The huge snake’s body was split into two from top to bottom like a bamboo pole. It landed on the ground with a plop and no longer had any life force.

The snake had just had the thought of regretting when it died in the next moment.

After Li Yuanqing dealt with this huge snake, he did not stay long with these flying snakes. Their strength was not bad, and it was not bad to leave them for the future humans to train. If they were exterminated today, it would be much less fun in the Catacombs.

Li Yuanqing turned into a shadow and slowly advanced through the snake cave. In a short while, he passed through the many angry flying snakes and arrived outside the snake cave.

From time to time, there were explosions in the snake cave. They were already fighting inside.
