113 Treasure Spots

\"This...\" the king stammered.

The seven dragons all turned and faced the king, looking at him with their large eyes.

\"Youngster, this is..\"

Ye Qin smiled. The queen and the princess held the same reaction as the king.

\"Beautiful.\" the princess muttered.

The Qiulong lowered its head and shrunk as it allowed the princess to rub its head.

\"Go ahead.\" Ye Qin told her.

The princess came out of her shocked state and slowly moved her hand closer to the Qiulong. When she placed her hand on its head, she slowly moved it to rub the dragons head.

The six other dragons were recalled along with Wang Tao's tigers. The Qiulong didn't return until the princess had finished having her fun.

\"I see now, you should be completely safe even if you two head off to the marked spots alone.\" the king said.

\"En.\" the two boys replied.

\"Well then, let us see you off.\" the king continued.

\"Yes.\" Ye Qin replied.

*************

At the entrance of the palace, Ye Qin and Wang Tao were seen off by the royal family. They began to swim away and headed towards the closest location marked on the map.

*************

After an hour of swimming, they arrived at the first location. Looking around, there were large corals and seaweed everywhere. A large cavern with purple walls and fish living on it could be seen if the seaweed were moved.

The two went inside, where everything was pitch black. Ye Qin and Wang Tao took out a pearl from their pockets.

It was a gift from the king for their meeting. The pearl not only looks exquisite, but it can also be used as a source of light. It didn't require any tricks or gimmick, just by being in a dark place, the pearl would light up on its own.

Inside the cavern, the two searched around. Small fish and other sea creatures swam away when they came closer. So far, it didn't seem like any monsters would attack them.

After a while, the Qiulong and the rest of the monsters were summoned. They split off to increase the amount of space that is covered. Of course, they didn't forget to create a map of the cavern that they had covered so far.

In the distance, Ye Qin and Wang Tao sensed hostility towards themselves. The monsters knew what their masters wanted. The monsters headed off into the far distance to destroy the hostile monsters that were aiming for them.

It seemed the monsters were all weaker ones. They also seemed to be quite hostile for some reason. Usually, all sea creatures would be intimidated by the suppression coming off from the dragons, since this was the case, it meant that there was something that they might be even more scared of.

Ye Qin and Wang Tao knew this at once. They both nodded to each other and swam as fast as they could. Passing by seaweed and a few small streams of water that went against the calm water, the two followed along to trace the source.

Later, the two sensed the presence of a powerful monster inside the cavern. Judging by the aura being emitted naturally in its hibernating state, they could see that it was much weaker than the Crowned Black Wing monster that they had fought against in the past.

They forgot about exploring the cavern and headed straight for the source of the aura. The monsters had gone far ahead of them and had already begun to engage the monster in battle. The two could sense the ongoing battle between their monsters from far away.

Moving at their fastest speed, it took ten minutes before they arrived. By then, the monster they were fighting was already at death's door.

It had major injuries all over its body, blue-colored blood leaked from its wounds, while transparent bones were sticking out from its injuries all over.

[Monster: Triple Headed Hydra]

[Level: 45]

[Grade: Rare]

[Type: Beast (Sea beast)]

[Element: Water]

[Additional Info: A small hydra with only three of its possible nine heads. With its growth, an extra three heads will grow each time, making it far more powerful.]

\"Hmm, this thing is pretty strong, if there was a way to bring it back with us that would be great.\" Ye Qin said.

\"It sounds possible, we'll need to do some extensive research on this topic. If we can do this, the future of humanity will be greatly influenced. Not only that, we'll make the history books. Of course, that's only if we succeed.\" Wang Tao replied.

\"Yea, when we go back, we should study and think of something. Let's bring this thing back with us for now.\" Ye Qin nodded.

Wang Tao naturally agreed as his eyes were lit up.

The three-headed hydra stared at the two humans as if it understood what they were saying. The nine monsters stopped attacking and surrounded the hydra.

It seemed that the hydra had no choice but to follow them.

\"Good, let's continue exploring this place.\" Ye Qin said.

The group then continued exploring the cavern at a fast pace.
