Untitled Part 26

026 - It's so Good to Be Alive

Following the fishy stench left behind by the demonic wolf, Lu Mingshu entered deep into the mountain, where she found a cave.

Given that it was located in a barren land, Locust Tree Village did not have much production. Yet this cave was teeming with lush grass and even large patches of blue flowers all around.

Blue flowers were rarely seen in the natural world, let alone in such concentrated amounts. Lu Mingshu's intuition told her that something was amiss.

She entered the cave while holding a fire torch.

Light did not filter into this deep cave, which left it cast in darkness.

The air was also very poor, and the demonic wolf's fishy stench especially pervaded the area.

Lu Mingshu held her nose and continued deeper in.

She would not have imagined herself to have such guts were it a few months ago, to have enough guts to roam such a cave in the countryside. Having been baptized in the cleansing of the Heavenly Wheel's streamers, her line of thinking had not only deepened, but her courage had improved by leaps and bounds.

Lu Mingshu suddenly stopped.

Strange, the fishy stench was getting increasingly thicker while I was heading in this direction previously, so why does it seem to be fading now? This place does not look like the demonic wolf's shelter at all.

She lifted the fire torch and carefully observed the walls. As she looked, her eyes seemed to have flashed past a dim light.

The stone wall of the cave is glowing?

Lu Mingshu went up and pushed aside the moss on the wall.

There is a faint reflection of light that's blue in color on the stone wall!

She immediately thought of the numerous blue flowers outside.

As Lu Mingshu found a few tree branches on the spot and scraped off the mosses on the stone wall, she tried hard to suppress her excitement.

She could sense a faint mystic force – this is an ore that contains mystic force!

But she quickly calmed down. Even if this is an ore that contains mystic force, how am I to take this out? Dig it out with my hands?

As she thought about a solution, Lu Mingshu continued walking forward.

The fishy smell that was no longer present in her position should have been neutralized by the mystic ore. The smell that got fainter as she walked deeper indicated that the mystic ore further inside was even more concentrated.

Sure enough, Lu Mingshu spotted some fragmented broken ore on the ground by the side after walking for about a thousand feet.

The blood vessels in her eyes nearly popped from trying to keep the glowing stones in her line of sight as she walked to the end of the cave in one sitting.

The light-blue mystic ore embedded in the walls of the cavern radiated a faint blue light under the shine of the fire torch, lighting up the entire cave like a world of blue crystals.

This must have been the wolf's shelter. It was empty, devoid of objects and any sign of life.

Lu Mingshu had no idea that this was not the scene that would have greeted her had she come a little earlier. Due to the existence of this mystic ore, almost all of the demonic beasts in the vicinity were drawn to this place. But ever since the demonic wolf's arrival, the demonic beasts that occupied the pits here were all driven away. With the demonic wolf's stench still being present, no beast dared approach.
