Chapter 40 - Behind the Bronze Gate

Awoo…

Big Black heard the three-eyed white wolf’s howls.

Naturally, Lu Huai heard it as well.

He did not expect Big Black to do such a sinister thing. It was protecting that treasure with its life, and then you go and steal it just like that?

After stealing the vine, Big Black hid in the forest and quickly devoured the vine.

Big Black, who had been resting for a while, stood up again.

After sniffing to confirm the direction, it began moving again.

The mountain path was very steep, and it took Big Black more than thirty minutes to reach the top.

The mountain peak was a huge platform.

Big Black raised its head and saw everything on the platform.

In front of it was a huge bronze gate embedded in a stone wall. The pillars of the bronze gate were engraved with mysterious runes, and there was a lifelike statue of a giant beast’s head on the gate.

Lu Huai was shocked by the bronze gate.

The bronze gate looked to be at least seven to eight people tall. One could only wonder what kind of heavenly craftsman could forge such an exquisite bronze gate.

Moreover, why was the bronze gate here?

Lu Huai had thought that Big Black would find a way to open the bronze gate.

However, he did not expect Big Black to go down the mountain right after taking a look.

For some reason, Lu Huai felt uneasy.

He felt a strong surge of power from his memories.

He saw Big Black scuttle around in the forest as if it did not know exhaustion.

From time to time, Big Black would suddenly stop and look for a tree to pee on.

Lu Huai could personally experience that strange feeling.

After jumping up and down for a while, Big Black stopped in front of a vine cave.

As it sniffed, Big Black opened its mouth and tore the vines that covered te entrance of the cave into shreds.

Its vision turned dark.

Big Black failed to get what it wanted. There was nothing in the cave except for a straw mat.

Big Black sniffed around excitedly on the marshy grassland, opening its mouth from time to time to rip things up. Soon, the cave was a mess.

There was a sudden movement outside the cave.

Big Black suddenly turned its head.

A two-tailed snow-white cat appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The two-tailed white cat looked at its messy house and the strange creature that was making a mess inside it.

Anger rose in its heart.

Meow!

The threatening meow was like the sound of nature to Big Black. It became excited and stared at the two-tailed white cat.

It can’t be…

Don’t do it, Big Black…

Once is enough. Let’s not do it a second time. Be good…

Lu Huai’s heart was suddenly torn to shreds

Under the two-tailed white cat’s terrified gaze, Big Black pounced on it.

The two-tailed white cat kept struggling and meowing in protest.

However, it was obviously not as strong as Big Black, so it was dragged into the cave unwillingly.

Two long claw marks were left on the ground, deep in the mud.

Lu Huai did not watch the following scene in detail.

He could only numbly feel the feeling of being in another world.

He could hear the two-tailed white cat’s miserable and strange cries.

The cry alarmed the other demonic beasts in the forest, and they all looked over in this direction with strange expressions.

The sun outside was gradually setting.

The sky darkened.

The cries gradually stopped.

Big Black stuck its head out of the cave, looking refreshed. It had a smug look on its face.

It licked its nose and turned back to look at the two-tailed white cat, who was lying limply on the straw mat.

It then left without looking back.

Are we finally going to look for treasure…

Lu Huai heaved a sigh of relief.

Big Black was walking on the mountain path. At night, there were obviously more demonic beasts in the forest.

The roars of demonic beasts could be heard from time to time.

After a long time, Big Black returned to the bronze gate.

After walking around the bronze gate twice, Big Black went to the side of the mountain wall and lay down, no longer moving.

After an unknown amount of time, the crescent moon appeared in the sky and descended to the east.

It was not until the horizon began to gradually turn bright that Big Black raised its head.

At the moment when it raised its head, it heard some people talking again.

“Abu Gongming, are you sure it’s this way?”

“I’m sure. I heard that there are many treasures here. I spent a lot of effort to steal a token.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry up and go in. We can’t let those outsiders get there first.”

Big Black quietly moved to the bronze gate and hid behind the mountain wall to observe.

The two people were already standing in front of the bronze gate.

The two of them were dressed in very strange clothes.

The one called Abu Gongming took out a simple token from his coat.

He inserted the token into the groove on the gate.

Abu Gongming said, “Ming Li, inject your blood and qi together with me.”

Ming Li nodded and placed his hand on the bronze gate with Abu Gongming.

Their blood and qi flowed from their bodies into their palms and into the bronze gate.

The eyes of the giant beast statue on the door suddenly lit up.

Abu Gongming was overjoyed, “Hurry! Inject your blood and qi faster!”

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Then, there was a violent tremor.

The bronze gate slowly opened from the inside. It was pitch-black inside, and no light could be seen at all.

The moonlight was clearly shining directly on the bronze gate, but the bronze gate seemed to be a forbidden zone, and no light could penetrate it.

“Let’s go,” he said.

Abu Gongming and Ming Li stepped through the bronze gate, and after a wave of fluctuations, the two of them disappeared into the darkness.

A few minutes after the two of them entered the room, Big Black slowly walked to the bronze gate.

Big Black sniffed the darkness in front of it as if to confirm whether or not there was any danger.

After that, Big Black also stepped into it.

After a dizzying feeling, a dark corridor appeared in front of Big Black. The candles on the wall swayed slightly, and the light was very dim.

Where is this place?

Lu Huai looked on curiously.

Big Black did not dawdle. It walked down the corridor.

After entering, Big Black did not see the two people from before.

After a short while, Big Black stopped to sniff and changed its direction from time to time, walking through the maze-like corridor.

Finally, Big Black stopped in front of a stone door.

Big Black anxiously wandered around the stone door.

In the end, it could only helplessly find a place to hide.

After waiting for a long time, the two people who came in first finally found this place.

When the two of them saw the stone door, their eyes lit up.

“This should be the martial sovereign’s treasure vault. let’s go in!”

The two of them exerted force on the stone door, but it did not budge.

After a few fruitless attempts, the two of them looked at each other, and powerful blood and qi fluctuations rose from their bodies.

Two martial skills were then used to bombard the stone door.

BOOM!

A small gap was opened in the stone door.

Not long after, the stone door was completely opened as it continued to shake.

The two of them rushed in excitedly and were dazzled by the many treasures inside the stone door.

“Everything here is a treasure! Quickly take as much as you can away!”

The two were so excited that they did not notice that Big Black had sneaked in through the stone door.

After entering the stone door, Big Black fixed its eyes on the stone pillar not far away.

A jade cylinder covered in dust was placed on the stone pillar.

But the two of them were still walking around.

Big Black looked around, picked up something from the ground, and threw it far away.

Then, he quickly hid.

“Tink!”

A crisp sound was heard in the quiet room.
