"Rock Snake? What should we do?"

Hearing Mo Yu's exclamation, Xiao Yixian trembled and quickly asked. This was a top-tier rank one magical beast.

Mo Yu squinted as he stared at the yellow Rock Snake spiraling in the air, its triangular eyes emitting a bloody and chilling light. In a deep voice, he said, "Hold on to me."

"What?"

"I said, hold on to me, or if you die, I'm not responsible." As soon as the words left his mouth, Mo Yu waved his right hand, and a red thunderbolt appeared in his hand.

The instant the Vermillion Burning Sky Thunder emerged, a crackling sound of electricity filled the cave, lighting it up significantly.

Seeing the substantial lightning in Mo Yu's hand, Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise.

This youth, who exuded an extraordinary aura, seemed to possess incredible methods.

"Whoosh!"

The Rock Snake flapped its narrow wings, glaring viciously as it dove down towards Mo Yu and Xiao Yixian at the cave entrance. Its massive mouth revealed sharp fangs that gleamed with a cold light.

As the Rock Snake entered within ten meters, Xiao Yixian nervously hugged Mo Yu's neck tightly. At some point, her legs also wrapped around his waist.

Just when the Rock Snake was only about ten meters away, Mo Yu's dou qi surged through his body, transforming the lightning in his hand into a sword. The power of the Vermilion Bird burst forth, and the high-level pressure caused the Rock Snake to hesitate briefly. Taking advantage of the moment, Mo Yu swung the lightning sword fiercely at the snake's head.

"Bang!"

In a flash of light and sound, accompanied by a crackling surge of electricity, the Rock Snake's head was cleaved off by Mo Yu's sword.

"Thud!"

The yellow Rock Snake, its head severed, went stiff and plummeted from the sky, crashing into the bottomless valley below with a heavy thud.

"What powerful thunder."

After the Rock Snake was slain, Xiao Yixian quickly let go of Mo Yu, her face flushed with embarrassment as she recalled the intimate posture from earlier.

Remembering how Mo Yu had easily decapitated the Rock Snake with a single strike, she realized that this youth in front of her was far from ordinary. At the very least, she had never seen someone like him in Green Mountain Town.

"Let's go inside and see if there's anything valuable." With the torch gone, Mo Yu retracted his Thunder Soul into his body, leaving only a wisp of red lightning at his fingertips for illumination. He walked deeper into the cave, speaking nonchalantly.

Looking at the dark cave interior, Xiao Yixian hesitated for a moment. After glancing at the youth's lean and strong back, she bit her lip and followed.

As they walked in the quiet and dark cave, a coldness swirled around them. The only sound in the silent tunnel was the faint echo of their footsteps.

The surrounding darkness made Xiao Yixian instinctively cross her arms, hugging herself tightly. She followed closely behind Mo Yu, feeling that in such an environment, only this youth in front of her could provide her with some sense of security.

"Ah…"

After walking for more than ten minutes, a soft cry suddenly escaped Xiao Yixian's lips.

It turned out that she had been following too closely. When Mo Yu suddenly stopped, she bumped right into his back.

The intimate contact caused Xiao Yixian's delicate face to turn bright red, and she quickly took a step back, annoyed and embarrassed. "What are you doing?"

The softness from the earlier contact, combined with her seductive voice, made a flame rise within the young man.

Mo Yu rubbed his nose, took a deep breath, and pointed at the pale yellow stone door in front of them. "We've arrived."

After saying this, he shifted his gaze away from the stone door and began examining the surrounding stone walls in the faint lightning light.

Seeing Mo Yu's actions, Xiao Yixian seemed to understand something. She pushed aside her embarrassment and began searching as well.

"Found it!" Just as Mo Yu was about to look for the door mechanism, Xiao Yixian's joyful whisper caught his attention.

Beside the stone door, Xiao Yixian had squatted down, her slender hand touching a small protrusion beneath the door. As she gently pressed down, the sound of grinding stone slowly echoed through the cave.

Seeing the stone door open, Mo Yu and Xiao Yixian exchanged a glance, both recalling their earlier contact before quickly averting their eyes. Then, they stepped into the stone chamber.

Upon entering, their vision suddenly expanded.

Inside the stone door was a massive stone chamber. The room appeared simple and spacious, with moonlight stones embedded in the walls for illumination. In the center of the chamber, there was a chair. On the chair sat a skeleton.

In front of the chair was a long stone platform, upon which three locked stone boxes were neatly arranged.

Additionally, in the three corners of the room were piles of golden coins and other rare treasures. The amount of gold alone likely exceeded hundreds of thousands.

In the last corner of the room, there was a small flowerbed, built with soil. Various herbs were planted within, and a strange fragrance filled the air.

Seeing Xiao Yixian's eyes light up beside him, Mo Yu immediately knew that the herbs had captivated her.

"Go ahead, the herbs are yours. I'll check out the other areas."

"Really?" Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes brightened at Mo Yu's words. She looked at him seriously.

Through their previous interactions, she knew that Mo Yu wasn't someone who didn't understand the value of herbs. Furthermore, his earlier display of strength in slaying the Rock Snake made her lose any desire to compete with him.

But Mo Yu still gave her these precious herbs, making him seem like… the dream lover from those storybooks.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yixian's gaze toward Mo Yu grew evasive. She was still a young, innocent girl, her Woeful Poison Body had yet to change her temperament. Like other girls, she often fantasized about her future husband.

One important trait she dreamed of was someone who would gift her many precious herbs as a token of love.

And now, standing in front of a flowerbed filled with rare herbs, with a handsome and capable young man by her side, it seemed like all her dreams were being realized.

While Xiao Yixian was lost in her thoughts, Mo Yu approached the skeleton and began inspecting it.

Seeing Mo Yu ruin the romantic atmosphere, Xiao Yixian pouted and hummed softly before walking over to the flowerbed to start collecting herbs.

"Oh, there's something here after all."

While Xiao Yixian was busy, Mo Yu looked at the skeleton's arm. His eyes focused on the fractured bone, and through the gap, he noticed a small scroll hidden within the bones.

"So, this is the remnant map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame."

Gazing at the ancient scroll barely visible between the bones, Mo Yu reached in and casually stored it in his storage ring.

The remnant map was just an incidental find; Mo Yu's real goal lay in the stone boxes on the stone platform.

After taking the three keys from the skeleton's hand, Mo Yu slowly approached the stone platform and focused on the second stone box, a smile playing on his lips.

He was in dire need of a flying dou technique now.
