23: Step by step, we advance! The White Wolf King's treasure trove!

"This must be the mining cave, right!" Su Lie looked toward the pitch-black mining cave.

This time, he had brought a Night light.

However, he did not rashly enter.

Instead, he took out a mang insect chestnut and proceeded to Enhance it.

The reason he waited until he arrived at the location to Enhance it was because the power of the Strange Fragrant Chestnut was too great.

He was worried it would attract powerful monsters.

After all, no one could say for sure which monsters could walk under the sunlight.

Just as he finished Enhancing the chestnut, the surrounding bushes suddenly rustled.

Violent roars echoed from within the mining cave.

Faintly, Su Lie saw pairs of eyes.

He quickly threw the chestnut into the mining cave, then successively calculated the number of monsters based on the number of eyes, Enhanced the corresponding number of Strange Fragrant Chestnuts, and threw them into the mining cave.

Soon, muffled sounds came from the mining cave.

A monster stood at the entrance of the mining cave, looking at Su Lie, who was standing in the sunlight.

It was silent for a moment before eating the Strange Fragrant Chestnut it held in its claws.

This was a monster similar to the Licker from Resident Evil.

It had eight arms that formed its legs, one head, and a body similar to a human's, walking upright.

Through his passive Skill Monster Prompt, Su Lie discovered that this monster was called a Human Spider, level 5.

The monster's life value was 2000, and its Spirit value was 1500.

"This monster is not easy to deal with!" Su Lie muttered softly, feeling glad for his previous decision.

Rustle! At this moment, No. 4 Little Skeleton and No. 6 Little Skeleton had already chopped down two trees, obtaining 4 units of wood, as well as some thick branches.

These were the support beams Su Lie had specially prepared to prevent the cave entrance from collapsing.

Soon, the eyes of the monsters inside the cave had all disappeared.

Su Lie turned on the Night light and directed the two Little Skeletons to carry the wood to the cave entrance.

He took a step into the mining cave first to check the scene inside, and upon discovering that the monsters had all been parasitized by the Heart-Piercing Rampant Insect and had fallen to the ground dead, he then arranged for the Little Skeletons to drag the monsters' corpses outside.

He wanted to use the power of the sunlight to kill the Heart-Piercing Rampant Insect.

Su Lie himself set up the wooden sticks and wood at the entrance of the mining cave.

To be honest, he was particularly worried that the experience from his dream would happen.

Soon, a sizzling sound came from outside the cave.

The Heart-Piercing Rampant Insects were burned to death by the sun's fire, leaving only translucent insect molts.

After Su Lie harvested 8 insect molts and 8 monster crystals, he used the same method again to throw the Enhanced Strange Fragrant Chestnuts into the mining cave.

At this time, he glanced at his personal panel and discovered that monsters killed using this method actually provided experience points.

This made him overjoyed.

"Good! Let's proceed step-by-step like this!" Su Lie arranged for the Little Skeletons to collect more wood.

He wanted to light bonfires in the mining cave.

After waiting for half an hour, more than twenty monsters ran out from the depths of the mining cave.

After repeating this three times, Su Lie once again threw the Strange Fragrant Chestnuts into the mining cave.

This time, he waited for about 1 hour, but still did not see any monsters appear.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief: "This monster-luring process took about 3 hours and 15 minutes! If I haven't found the White Wolf King's treasury after exploring the mining cave for 2 hours, then I will immediately run back quickly! The remaining time of less than 1 hour should be enough!"

After a brief thought, he took the Little Skeletons and carried the Night light into the mining cave.

He lit a bonfire every two to three hundred meters.

After lighting a bonfire, he would continue forward.

After walking for about ten minutes, approximately two kilometers in, Su Lie arrived at a three-way intersection in the mining cave.

He arranged for No. 4 Little Skeleton and No. 6 Little Skeleton to go to the side mining tunnels, while he himself went to the middle one.

He walked all the way to the end.

Su Lie still had not found the White Wolf King's treasury.

Only then did he return along the same path, this time running back directly.

When he returned to the three-way intersection, No. 4 Little Skeleton and No. 6 Little Skeleton had already been waiting there for a while.

No. 6 Little Skeleton pointed to the tunnel it had explored and gestured excitedly.

Seeing this, Su Lie was overjoyed and hurried into the left tunnel.

Sure enough.

After advancing about 500 meters, Su Lie saw an iron gate.

The area around the iron gate emitted a faint green light, and many glowing mushrooms grew in the underground mining tunnel.

The mushrooms were particularly bright and carried a strange fragrance.

"These mushrooms are poisonous!" Su Lie just picked one mushroom and placed it in his gourd ladle.

The color of the gourd ladle turned deep red.

Obviously, this thing was not edible.

He still arranged for the Little Skeletons to collect these glowing mushrooms.

Su Lie walked to the iron gate.

The iron gate was 5 meters high and 5 meters wide.

It was a square gate.

It looked seamless and had no key.

"How should I get in?" Su Lie searched around for more than ten minutes, and in the end, having no other choice, he could only take out the strong acid red date.

He Enhanced the strong acid red date into a corrosive red date.

Only then did he retreat more than ten meters away and threw it toward the iron gate.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The moment the corrosive red date hit the iron gate, it burst open, and corrosive mist covered a range of four or five meters around it.

The iron gate was instantly corroded, creating a large hole.

When the iron gate was fully corroded, the corrosive mist also disappeared because it had been consumed.

Su Lie looked toward the pitch-black treasury.

He threw the previously Enhanced Strange Fragrant Chestnuts inside.

Clatter!

A sound was heard.

Afterward, he saw a pair of eyes as large as a washbasin.

Those eyes didn't even look at Su Lie, but instead lunged directly at the Strange Fragrant Chestnut.

"One is probably not enough!" Su Lie said, standing outside the door, trembling slightly.

The monster he saw was called a Treasure-Guarding Bei Slave.

The Bei Slave was a full level 15.

Its life value was 100,000, and its Spirit value was 5,000.

According to his passive Skill Monster Prompt, the Bei Slave was in a state of imprisonment, weakness, and serious injury.

"Fortunately, I didn't go in directly, otherwise I would have just been delivering food to the monster!" Su Lie took out all the mang insect chestnuts from his pocket and prepared the strong acid red dates.

He began to Enhance them in large quantities.

As he threw the Strange Fragrant Chestnuts into the treasury one by one, a glimmer of excitement appeared in the Bei Slave's eyes, and it ate them happily.

Su Lie also saw the scene inside the treasury through the Night light placed at the entrance.

The treasury was empty, with only a Bei Slave that had lost its hind legs.

The Bei Slave's body was about 5 meters long, with no fur on its body, and its skin was covered in dense scars, looking quite terrifying.

However, the contamination it released was blocked by a faint light when it neared the entrance.

It was precisely this situation that kept Su Lie from turning around and running away.

He had not brought Exorcism Holy Water this time; this was an oversight.

After the Bei Slave had eaten a full fifty-plus Strange Fragrant Chestnuts, its eyes suddenly became terrified, and it turned its head to look at the entrance.

It suddenly went crazy and roared wildly, as if it were saying: "Did you f*cking drug me?"

Bang!

The Bei Slave struggled in pain for 30 minutes.

Only then did it let out a wail because the Heart-Piercing Rampant Insects inside its body had successfully gnawed on its internal organs.

Boom! The Bei Slave collapsed weakly to the ground, with traces of blood spilling from the corners of its mouth.

No. 4 Little Skeleton and No. 6 Little Skeleton were about to go in and drag the Bei Slave out to the mining cave.

Su Lie stopped them: "It's not dead yet! Use this! Throw it at it!"

He shoved the freshly Enhanced corrosive red dates to the two Little Skeletons.

At this point, he had already Enhanced over a hundred corrosive red dates.

It was no longer suitable to use mang insect chestnuts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the corrosive thick fog burst out after the corrosive red dates collided with the Bei Slave, a large number of corrosion marks appeared on the Bei Slave's skin.

Its flesh began to be corroded into foul water.

The Bei Slave also let out a painful wail.

Seeing that this move was effective, Su Lie also joined in the act of throwing corrosive red dates.

About ten minutes later, the Bei Slave and the nearly 60 Heart-Piercing Rampant Insects that had revived inside its body were completely corroded into a pool of foul water.

The foul water quickly seeped into the ground.

Even the contamination on the Bei Slave's body dissipated at this moment.

Su Lie only felt that the light in the treasury was brighter than before, and only then did he heave a sigh of relief: "Let's go! Let's go in and take a look!"
