Hidden Vault

Meng Fan also saw through Meng Ren's intentions and smiled at Zhang Zheng, "Second Saintess, Your Highness, why not come with us? What's the point of following these two? They can barely protect themselves, so how could they protect you?"

The two of them looked at Zhang Zheng with smiles.

Zhang Zheng glanced at Ye Chen, but Ye Chen didn't even look at her.

In Ye Chen's heart, it didn't matter.

Zhang Zheng felt a bit displeased, but still said, "No thanks, I'm doing just fine following Ye Chen. I won't trouble you two."

When Zhang Zheng spoke to Meng Fan and Meng Ren, she still maintained a cold demeanor, with not a trace of emotion in her eyes.

Furthermore, after she finished speaking, she glanced at Ye Chen again.

Meng Ren took all of this in, and his expression instantly darkened.

"Hmph! Since that's the case, then you can fend for yourself!"

After saying that, Meng Ren turned and left.

After seeing the four of them leave, Hong Ye snorted, "Hmph! This Meng Fan is as arrogant as ever. If it weren't to avoid unnecessary trouble, I would really like to give him a good beating!"

Ye Chen patted Hong Ye's shoulder and smiled, "No need. Getting angry at such people is the most foolish behavior."

"Junior Brother Ye Chen is right. It's better to win or lose against an expert than to argue with an idiot!"

"Let's go!"

The four of them continued walking forward.

Jiamu walked beside Ye Chen and whispered, "So, the place where Brother Ye Chen is doesn't seem very harmonious either."

"Haha, no matter where you are, there is no place that is absolutely peaceful."

Jiamu gave a half-understanding "Oh."

"Boss! Boss!" Gun Gun excitedly tugged at Ye Chen's clothes.

Ye Chen looked at Gun Gun suspiciously.

"Boss! That place, over there, there's a pile of good stuff, a huge pile of good stuff!"

Gun Gun's words instantly caught the attention of the others.

Zhang Zheng looked at Gun Gun curiously, "How do you know?"

"Hmph! I am the little Genius Gun Gun!"

Hong Ye explained, "The innate skill of Ye Chen's pet is Treasure Perception, which can detect any treasure within a five-kilometer radius."

"Ah!" Zhang Zheng was instantly stunned.

Gun Gun excitedly ran in front to lead the way, with Ye Chen and the others following closely behind.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the place Gun Gun mentioned.

In front of them was a dense forest. In this forest, the large trees were packed tightly together, forming a huge circle.

"It's right inside here!" Gun Gun pointed at the forest and shouted excitedly.

Ye Chen nodded and instructed Blood Asura, "Blood Asura, cut out an entrance."

Blood Asura agreed, then swung the Chaos Scythe and hacked at a large tree.

In a short while, an entrance appeared before them.

The space inside was actually quite large; it was just surrounded by a ring of trees on the outside.

After seeing that there were no monsters, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong Ye looked around inside and frowned, saying, "There's nothing in here."

Apart from a relatively large rock, there was indeed nothing else inside.

Gun Gun ran toward the rock and pointed at it, saying, "It's under this rock."

Hong Ye and Ye Chen took a look, then stepped forward to move the rock.

Sure enough, under the rock, there was an entrance, but it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.

Extremely Flaming Devil suddenly ignited the flames on its body and walked down.

The next moment, the situation inside could finally be seen clearly.

Under the illumination of Extremely Flaming Devil, the environment inside appeared clearly.

Below was a bottomless abyss, and under the glare of the fire, one could vaguely see shimmering specks of light.

Those specks of light must be the "good stuff" Gun Gun mentioned.

Ye Chen put on the Seven-Colored Armor and jumped down first.

Jiamu followed closely behind, and Hong Ye also leaped down.

Zhang Zheng looked for a moment, then jumped down as well.

Ye Chen descended slowly, cautiously observing the surrounding environment. Only after confirming there was no danger did he dare to descend rapidly.

After descending a full hundred meters, he finally reached the depths.

Deep in the cave, it was extremely dark.

Upon landing on the ground, he immediately felt something sticky under his feet.

Looking at the ground, he discovered it was covered in greenish slime.

"What is this? So disgusting!" Zhang Zheng said with a frown.

Although it looked extremely disgusting, it didn't have any foul odor; on the contrary, it actually smelled somewhat fragrant.

"Ye Chen, look ahead," Hong Ye suddenly said.

Ye Chen looked up and saw that there was actually another passageway inside.

Around the passageway, there were jagged rocks, and on the ceiling of the cave, there were also strangely shaped stones.

For some reason, in this sunless environment, many plants were actually growing.

It was just that the plants here were green.

"It's inside!"

Gun Gun ran over after saying that.

Ye Chen and the others quickly followed.

After walking for one or two hundred meters, another cave appeared.

Inside the cave, there were many things.

Hong Ye's eyes lit up instantly, "This! So many things! It's completely not inferior to what was at Lord Oen's place!"

Zhang Zheng's eyes also flickered, revealing a deep sense of joy.

"What is that!" Jiamu whispered.

The group followed Jiamu's gaze and saw, in the depths, a massive figure with a colorful surface that looked like a giant worm.

"Careful! It's very likely a monster!" Hong Ye warned.

Ye Chen nodded but still walked forward.

When he reached the side of the worm, Ye Chen finally saw its appearance clearly.

This thing was indeed a giant version of a worm.

It had a face with dazzling patterns and a mouth, but no eyes.

However, this guy seemed to have already died, and the surface of its body was already showing cracks.

No information about it could be seen.

However, even as a corpse, one could still feel waves of pressure; this thing must have been a very powerful monster while it was alive.

But how did such a powerful monster die suddenly?

This left Ye Chen feeling somewhat puzzled.

"It's okay, this guy is already dead, so you can rest assured."

Hong Ye and the other two also slowly approached, and after confirming it was indeed dead, they finally felt at ease.

The subsequent work was much simpler: quickly looting everything inside.

Not even a single stone was left behind.

"Gun Gun, what are you doing!"

Ye Chen noticed Gun Gun huddled in a corner, squatting there with its back to Ye Chen, not knowing what it was doing.

Ye Chen quickly walked over.

He slapped Gun Gun on the shoulder, and Gun Gun turned its head.

"Nothing! I'm not doing anything!" Gun Gun shook its head repeatedly.

Ye Chen looked at Gun Gun, whose mouth was stuffed full, and frowned, asking, "What are you eating? Spit it out!"

"I'm not eating anything!" Saying this, Gun Gun swallowed everything in its mouth directly.

It looked completely satisfied.

Ye Chen noticed signs of something having been plucked in the corner and said to Gun Gun, "It's not that I won't let you eat, but at least you should wash it first. What if you get a stomachache!"

"No, it won't be fresh if I wash it before eating!"
