Chapter 642

After a fierce battle and being chased by Chu Jian for a long time, although both of them had abundant true essence, their physical strength and spirit were greatly consumed.

After sitting down for a while, they both entered a state of meditation.

Their spirit and physical strength recovered rapidly.

Two hours later, Yang Kai opened his eyes, and his eyes shone with a brilliant light, having returned to his peak state.

Han Fei was still leaning against him. Although she didn’t wake up, her breath was undoubtedly much more stable.

The delicate body, close to Yang Kai, came an unimaginable softness and there seemed to be a natural fragrant scent on this cold and beautiful woman. Sniffing it into the nose made Yang Kai become even more energetic.

After waiting for a while, she also gradually woke up. Noticing her out of control, she took the initiative to move away from Yang Kai some distance and asked coldly, “What should we do now?”

“Let’s first take a look at the environment here.” Yang Kai said as he stood up. Zhenyuan penetrated out of his body, emitting a bright light and shining all around.

Han Fei couldn’t help but frown. She didn’t like the scorching breath on Yang Kai very much. This was not aimed at him as a person, but the instinctive repulsion between demonic energy and yang energy.

“I seem to have a torch.” Han Fei said, and somehow, she took out two torches from somewhere. Yang Kai smiled slightly and flicked his fingers to light them. He and Han Fei each took one and began to look around.

This was indeed as Yang Kai had observed before, a huge and spacious karst cave.

It was more than a hundred zhang high, and the interior was even as large as a dozen rooms, filled with extremely rich heaven and earth energy. This kind of energy was not yang energy, but pure energy that any martial artist could absorb.

The two explored in this karst cave for a while and found nothing. Instead, they found a corridor leading to the deeper part.

“Should we go in and take a look？ Or wait here for Li Rong to come and save us？” Yang Kai held up the torch and asked, looking at Han Fei.

A curious look flickered in Han Fei’s beautiful eyes. After hearing this, she struggled and hesitated for a while and said, “Even if Lord Li gets the news, she may not know that we are down here. The opportunity is rare. Let’s go in and take a look.”

“Alright.” Yang Kai smiled.

This place is the forbidden area of the Ancient Demon Clan. Even the four great commanders won’t easily come here. And this time, if it weren’t for Yang Kai’s protection, Han Fei wouldn’t have been able to safely reach this cave. She would have been melted in the magma long ago.

Naturally, she is very curious about such a place. Exactly what secrets it has.

This is a location that the Ancient Demon Clan has lived here for countless years but never arrived at. The curiosity inherent in women made her make the choice to explore.

Walking all the way deep along the corridor, the surrounding rock walls are extremely solid.

I don’t know how long they walked or how far they went deep, but the two still found nothing.

Han Fei, who was following behind Yang Kai, wheezing. Her steps were staggering.

That kind of injury that pierced through the body, although it wouldn’t kill her, still had a great impact on her.

“Let’s take a rest.” Yang Kai suggested.

Han Fei remained silent, knowing that he was considering for her.

When sitting down to rest, Yang Kai took out a healing pill and handed it over. Han Fei looked at him and didn’t ask much. She took it and swallowed it.

“You don’t have any healing pills on you？” Yang Kai asked with a frown.

“We don’t know how to refine pills. Where would we get healing pills from?” Han Fei replied faintly.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier…” Yang Kai was speechlessly at a loss. This woman was truly prideful to the extreme. With such serious injuries, she would rather let them heal naturally than ask him for a medicinal pellet.

He thought that as one of the four commanders, Han Fei should at least have some common medicinal pellets on her.

“How embarrassing.” Han Fei snorted. After thinking for a while, she suddenly took out something and handed it to Yang Kai, saying, “Do you want to drink water？”

Yang Kai was surprised and silently took the water bladder she handed over and took a few sips.

Han Fei then asked, “Do you want to eat？”

This time, she handed over several fruits that Yang Kai had never seen before. These fruits contained quite a rich amount of energy. At a glance, they were good things.

This woman… was she trying every possible means to return his favor？ Yang Kai stared at her blankly and immediately understood what she was thinking.

Yang Kai secretly shook his head and took the few fruits, stuffed them into his mouth and ate them.

“You seem to have brought a lot of things.” Yang Kai looked her up and down, wanting to know where she had hidden these things.

The Qiankun bag was a kind of secret treasure that could be used for storage. Yang Kai knew this. Since coming to the Tongxuan Continent, Yang Kai had also seen Qiankun bags on many people.

Several team leaders of the Du Ao League had them, and the charming demon he killed also had one.

However, Han Fei didn’t have one. Yang Kai was very puzzled. What did she use for storage?

“Hmm, I’ve collected some usually and put them in the Void Ring in case of emergency.” Han Fei explained lightly and also took a fruit and ate it in small bites.

“Void Ring？” Yang Kai’s eyes lit up and his eyes instantly fixed on the simple ring on Han Fei’s right index finger.

This ring was pitch-black in color and it was obvious at a glance that it was something with some age.

“It’s a higher-grade storage secret treasure than the Qiankun Bag. It shouldn’t be seen outside. Only some forces with a long history and huge foundation have this thing.” Han Fei explained lightly.

Looking at the Void Ring on her hand, a flash of inspiration crossed Yang Kai’s mind and he said in surprise, “Isn’t this made of Soul Stabilizing Stone？”

“You know about Soul Stabilizing Stone？” Han Fei was surprised.

Yang Kai nodded slightly. How could he not know? His wordless black book was entirely made of Soul Stabilizing Stone.

“There is a little Soul Stabilizing Stone, but not all of it. It is said that the Great Demon God obtained a large piece of Soul Stabilizing Stone back then and then used it somewhere. Only some scraps were left. These scraps were refined into several Void Rings by superb weapon refiners with the help of other materials. Now they are in the custody of the four commanders.”

After hearing her say this, Yang Kai thought about it carefully and found that Li Rong and Hua Mo indeed also wore rings on their hands.

So these rings are storage treasures even more advanced than Qiankun Bags！

“Well, let’s not talk about this. I owe you such a big favor this time, and I won’t think about killing you after using you up, but I can’t guarantee that Hua Mo thinks the same way. But don’t worry, with the protection of Li Daren, Hua Mo won’t easily make a move against you.” Han Fei suddenly said a word.

Yang Kai nodded slightly, knowing that she said such words, which was considered a gesture of goodwill.

“I don’t quite understand why Li Daren is so optimistic about you and takes care of you so much.”

“I don’t understand either！” Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders. “If there is a chance another day, you can help me ask Li Rong and see what she is thinking.”

Half an hour later, the two of them once again set foot on the path of exploration with torches. It seems that because of that healing pill, Han Fei’s state is much better than before.

Going deeper all the way down, the deeper they go, the more Yang Kai notices that the nearby heaven and earth energy is becoming stronger and stronger, as if there is a gathering place of energy below.

Recalling the situation underground in Zhongdu, Yang Kai’s spirit was shaken, and he thought of a bold guess： “Could there be a ground vein down here？”

Hearing this, Han Fei thought for a while and nodded in agreement： “It’s really possible.”

The two looked at each other and both became excited, and their speed couldn’t help but increase a lot.

After walking for a long time, Yang Kai suddenly found that the front had come to an end and there was no way out.

But on the rock wall in front, there were some little lights shining like stars.

“What is this？” Yang Kai looked at it with suspicion on his face and stepped forward to check it out.

Han Fei also hurriedly stepped forward. After seeing the situation in front of her, her expression couldn’t help but change.

Both of them reached out their hands at the same time, circulated their True Yuan, and broke open the rock wall in front. Yang Kai fiddled for a long time and found a fist-sized, pure and flawless thing like a gemstone from those stones.

Feeling the energy contained in it and looking at its appearance, Yang Kai quickly said： “Han Fei, Han Fei, come and take a look. Is this a crystal stone？”

Han Fei’s expression was strange. She didn’t expect that this human kid would actually start calling her by her name directly, but her spirit was attracted by the thing in his hand and she didn’t mean to care. After checking it for a while, she nodded and said: “Sure enough, it’s a crystal stone.”

“It’s really a crystal stone？” Yang Kai was dumbfounded. “Such a big one？”

Crystal stones, he had also used them. Whether it was the crystal stone obtained from Yun Xuan of the Du Ao League or the one obtained from Li Rong, they were all only the size of a walnut, with a very regular shape and a very regular volume. But he didn’t expect that in the bottom of this volcano, he actually found a fist-sized crystal stone.

“Could this be a crystal stone vein?” Han Fei’s expression became excited and she quickly rushed over to look for it. After a short while, she found another slightly smaller crystal stone from the crushed stone. Even so, it was several times larger than the crystal stones usually seen.

“Sure enough, it’s a crystal vein！” Han Fei asserted affirmatively.

“Didn’t you say that what’s under the volcano is a Yang Crystal mine？” Yang Kai was astonished.

“I only saw the record in ancient books. There might be some mistakes.” Han Fei explained. “But crystals are much more valuable than Yang Crystals, especially for our Ancient Demon race…”

Yang Crystal mines couldn’t be used by her clansmen and could only be of benefit to Yang Kai. But it was different with crystals. Crystals could be used by all martial artists.

They had been trapped here for countless years. The crystals accumulated by Demon God’s Castle before had long been exhausted. Many of her clansmen had never even seen what a crystal looked like.

A figure like Pan Lang had coveted Yang Kai when he learned that Yang Kai had fifty crystals.

This showed how rare crystals were in this small Mysterious Boundary.

“We’ve struck it rich…” Han Fei’s beautiful eyes shone with a strange light as she murmured.

Yang Kai grinned and said, “Whoever mines it belongs to whoever.”

“Can you not be so shameless? This is the territory of my Ancient Demon race. The things here should naturally belong to my race！” Han Fei was a little angry.

“You’re too greedy.” Yang Kai’s expression remained unchanged as he shook his head and said, Since this is a crystal vein, who knows how many crystals are contained here. And if it weren’t for me, could you move freely? I can just abandon you now and see how you mine the crystals.”

“You… you’re shameless！” Han Fei finally flew into a rage. She had been protected by Yang Kai’s True Yuan down here. If it weren’t for Yang Kai, she wouldn’t even be able to move freely, let alone mine the crystals.

“Well, goodbye then. I’m leaving. You can keep company with these crystals. I’ll come back to mine them after you die.” Yang Kai said this, waved his hand, and turned to leave.
