Chapter 754 Underground Residence

To the north of the village is a hill. There is only one road connecting it from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. There are few trees and it is extremely difficult to hide your body. No wonder, except for the aimless pig demon, other monsters don't like to come here.

Yaeli followed Iwata and others to the top of the mountain. He could see the lush woods on the other side of the mountain. With his sensitive hearing, he could hear rustling sounds from time to time.

This side of the mountain is very steep, and it would take a lot of effort for monsters to climb up.

Iwata just looked down a little to make sure there were no monsters climbing on the rock wall, then turned to look at Yae Ri, "Mr. Ri, let's rest here. We just need to guard the top of the mountain to make sure no other monsters climb up. That’s good.”

"..."

Yaeli was reluctant, squatting on the edge of the top of the mountain, looking at the dense woods at the foot of the mountain. He was sure that there were many monsters lurking in it, "Do you know where to go down?"

"Go down? This..."

Hearing Yae Ri's question, Iwata and the others looked at each other in confusion. Although their expressions were strange, they quickly persuaded: "Master Ri, there is no need for us to go down. With this mountain blocking us, the threat from those monsters is not that great..."

How can I complete today's task if I don't go down?

I don't really want to stay here with you all day.

Yaeli curled her lips secretly, "Just answer my question."

"..."

Seeing Yae Ri's insistence, Iwata thought about it for a long time and said helplessly: "Sir Ri, it's impossible to go down directly from here, but we have built a secret passage under this mountain. If you really want to go... …”

"Take me there, kill a monster and come back."

Yaeli lifted Sakura Fukiyuki around his waist. He wanted to find some pig demons on the mountain here to deal with, but he didn't see any of them along the way.

Several men secretly praised him for being the son of the Fox God. He was much braver than adults like them at such a young age.

"Master Li, please come with me."

Iwata asked the rest of the team members to guard at the top of the mountain, while he took Yaeli down the mountain and came to the entrance of a secret passage that had been specially covered.

Lifting the grass cover above, revealing the dark and narrow entrance below, Iwata said to Yae Ri: "Master Ri, I will go there with you too."

"No, I can still deal with a few monsters." Yaeli shook his head.

"? Master Li, have you ever killed a monster before?" Iwata was surprised.

"I've killed quite a few."

Yaeli smiled, stroking the spiritual sword at his waist, and said without blushing, "Maintaining the peace of the village... This is the order given to me by Lord Fox God."

Iwata was in awe, and gave up the idea of ​​going with Yae Ri. After all, in his opinion, Yae Ri had the blessing of the Fox God, so nothing could happen to him.

Yaeli lowered his body and slowly entered the secret passage.

Although the space inside is small, it is only relative to an adult. With Yae Ri's current small body, it does not feel crowded.

The secret passage was very long, after all, it connected both sides of the mountain. However, it took Yaeli about an hour to see the light in front of him.

When Yaeli came to the edge of the light, he suddenly straightened up with a "Hey!" and successfully jumped out of the secret passage and came to a dense forest.

Behind him is the cliff of the mountain. Looking up, Yaeli can see vaguely human heads flashing on the top of the mountain. It must be that the men in the escort are looking down uneasily, right?

Yaeli waved upwards, not sure if they could see him.

Rustling————

Yae Ri pulled out Sakura Fukiyuki, cut half of the moving grass in front of her, and also picked up the head of a ferocious monster.

“Good luck~”

Yaeli didn't mind being dirty, so he picked up the wolf-shaped head that he had chopped off, with its fangs slightly exposed. He thought it was killed when he was about to launch a surprise attack.

I'm afraid this guy never imagined that a human being could have such reactions and skills until his death, right?

Yaeli was about to take his head back into the secret passage, but suddenly he "smelled" an extremely rich energy deep in the woods.

Yaeli licked her lips unconsciously, showing a strong desire.

So much... I want it so much...

Yaeli didn't know what it was that could actually cause his body to react like this, but since he could "smell" it, it would be a shame not to take a look.

So he threw the head next to the secret passage and didn't bother to take it with him. Anyway, these monsters were not very interested in the corpses of the same kind, so he was not afraid of not finding them when he came back.

Yaeli went deep into the woods, and he could feel that the energy that attracted him was not far away from him, just within five hundred meters.

And unlike the previous crystals that were left in the body of the monster beast, this time the energy was completely exposed to the air, waiting for the destined person to pick it.

Unlike the mountains, there were indeed many monsters lurking in the woods. Therefore, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Yaeli jumped onto the tree halfway and jumped quickly between the branches.

Not long after, Yaeli discovered a pit below covered with a large number of leaves. Monsters passed by from time to time. He cast his sight towards the entrance of the hole. Apparently he also discovered something inside, but for some reason he did not choose to step forward.

Yazouri squatted on the branch, sniffing lightly with his nose. There was a very pungent smell of medicinal liquid, which was evenly distributed on the edge of the hidden pothole.

Could it be that this smell makes the monsters avoid it like snakes and scorpions?

After thinking for a moment, Yaeli jumped from the tree and landed right on the edge of the pothole.

When the surrounding monsters saw a living person appearing, they subconsciously aroused the desire to attack. However, when they took a few steps closer to the pothole, they suddenly stopped and then circled around the pothole and Yaeli as if they were unwilling to do so.

"Since you don't come, I'll keep the good stuff there all to myself!"

While being alert to the surroundings, Yae Ri used the tip of Sakura Fubuki's knife to lift off the leaves covering the pit, revealing a rather large lid underneath, which seemed to be used by humans to cover large water tanks.

The hole was dug by man, and the contents inside naturally belonged to that person.

Yaeli could guess this, but he didn't think about giving up the good things in it that attracted him with good moral character.

Anyway, he is just absorbing some energy and will not take things randomly.

Thinking of this, Yaeli opened the lid neatly, revealing the dark hole, and then jumped down.

Below are half-sharpened bamboos. After Yaeli jumped down, he directly touched the tip of one of the bamboos with his toes, and then jumped lightly to the open space next to it.

I didn't expect the owner who dug this hole to be so sinister. If it were another person or animal, I'm afraid he would have been dug into bloody holes after falling, right?

Yae Ri observed in the dark underground space. Unlike the small hole above, the space below was extremely spacious, and there were many stone utensils and even a stone platform protruding from the ground, as if It's like an underground residence built specifically for oneself.
