His gaze briefly scanned the entire cave.
Then his eyes fell on the Blood Dawn Grass that was not yet fully mature, and the pool of Earth Spirit Spring Water in the middle.
This Blood Dawn Grass requires a long time to mature and can only grow in places with Earth Spirit Spring Water.
Even if he digs it up now, it won’t be useful, so it’s better to leave it here for now.
Moreover, after a period of his absorption, the Spiritual Qi within this Earth Spirit Spring Water has significantly depleted, needing at least a few years to recover.
Thinking for a moment, Chu Ning dug up some soil from the cave and gathered some stones he had just broken to the entrance of the cave.
He used the stones to block the cave entrance and piled soil in the gaps.
Then Chu Ning took out some Iron Wire Vine seeds from his Storage Bag, sprinkled them, and used the Accelerating Technique to make them grow immediately.
After doing all this, Chu Ning nodded in satisfaction.
This Iron Wire Vine is extremely hardy, and after accelerating its growth, it will naturally thrive.
Soon, it will cover this large area of rock.
At the same time, this Iron Wire Vine is very common.
Even if someone comes here, they won’t suspect anything.
Returning to the entrance of the crevice by the waterfall, Chu Ning took out the Wind Chasing Shuttle and called Ling Xiaobai to fly back.
"Hoo!"
At this moment, Ling Xiaobai called out to Chu Ning.
Surprisingly, it refused to jump onto the Wind Chasing Shuttle.
Chu Ning looked at it puzzled, only to see Ling Xiaobai calling out toward the deeper western mountain range.
"Go over there."
Then Chu Ning heard the voice of Ling Xiaobai’s Divine Sense.
Chu Ning was slightly stunned; where was this little guy taking him now?
Though curious, Chu Ning thought for a moment and nodded toward it.
"Come on, let’s go over there."
Heading in that direction was still within this mountain range.
As long as they’re in this range, normally there shouldn’t be any high-tier Demon Beasts, so it shouldn’t be too risky.
"Could it be there’s another treasure spot over there?"
He was also a bit curious why Ling Xiaobai suddenly wanted to go there.
Ling Xiaobai, seeing that Chu Ning agreed, happily jumped onto the Wind Chasing Shuttle.
"Hoo!"
Soon it called out, pointing the direction to Chu Ning.
In the next moment, the Wind Chasing Shuttle soared into the sky.
Flying in the direction pointed by Ling Xiaobai for about a quarter of an hour, they reached near the depths of the mountain.
This made Chu Ning a bit hesitant.
He didn’t know why Ling Xiaobai brought him here, but he wasn’t keen on going deeper.
Even though he had made several breakthroughs, venturing too deep alone still felt unsafe.
"Xiaobai, where are you taking me? How much farther?"
"Hoo!" Ling Xiaobai called out again, somewhat anxious not knowing how to express, continuously making sounds.
Chu Ning vaguely understood now that the distance shouldn’t be too far.
Indeed, after flying forward for another two or three miles.
"Hoo!" Ling Xiaobai called out to the ground, signaling Chu Ning to descend.
Chu Ning immediately maneuvered the Wind Chasing Shuttle to land, and the man and beast landed in front of a cave entrance.
"Another cave?"
Looking at the cave entrance a few meters away, Chu Ning was slightly stunned, but then his expression subtly changed.
Because on the ground before the cave entrance, he clearly saw several huge footprints.
"A Demon Beast Cave?"
Chu Ning instantly realized, wondering why Ling Xiaobai brought him here.
Yet unexpectedly, Ling Xiaobai suddenly called into the cave.
Soon, a white light burst into the cave.
"Xiaobai, you..."
"Roar!"
The next moment, a loud roar resounded.
Upon hearing the roar, Ling Xiaobai quickly jumped back a step, standing beside and slightly behind Chu Ning.
"Bully me, revenge!"
Ling Xiaobai’s voice entered Chu Ning’s mind, leaving him somewhat at a loss between tears and laughter.
However, his expression soon turned grim.
Simultaneously, a massive figure appeared at the cave entrance, one after another.
It was a monkey-like Demon Beast, yet its body stood over three meters tall.
Covered in jet-black fur with sporadic red patches, like blood spots on its body.
A sharp horn adorned its head.
Blood Spot One-Horned Ape—Chu Ning immediately recognized this type of Demon Beast.
He had previously researched the Demon Beasts of the nearby mountains, and this creature was an extremely rare Tier One Advanced Demon Beast.
A Tier One Advanced Demon Beast could rival a Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivator.
What truly worried Chu Ning was that these Demon Beasts often lived in pairs, male and female.
Indeed, in the next moment, a slightly smaller Blood Spot One-Horned Ape appeared at the cave entrance.
"Whiz!"
While Chu Ning contemplated fleeing via the Wind Chasing Shuttle, as these were beasts equivalent to the seventh layer of Qi Refining.
Ling Xiaobai had already fired a white light, directly attacking one of the Demon Beasts.
The horns on the two Demon Beasts simultaneously shot out two yellow beams.
One countered Ling Xiaobai’s white light, while the other targeted Chu Ning.
It wasn’t that the Blood Spot One-Horned Apes ignored Ling Xiaobai; rather, after emitting the white light, this little creature quickly hid behind Chu Ning.
As if certain Chu Ning would protect it and withstand the attack.
"Pop!"
Chu Ning did not disappoint Ling Xiaobai.
As the black beam approached, a silver-white shield stood erect in front of Chu Ning.
