Chapter 140 Mysterious Cave in the Monster Mountain Range
Children are the purest beings. They do not judge anyone based on power, status, or money, nor do they distance themselves from someone because of it. For them, as long as someone can play with them and keep them company, they will choose to be close to that person regardless of whether that person has a high status, identity, or great wealth.
And now, Little Fairy Doctor is in the same situation. Having lost her family, she met Xiao Feng in her loneliest and most helpless time. Although she and Xiao Feng have not spent much time together, she can feel that Xiao Feng has no ill intentions towards her. As a result, she has let herself go and runs and plays around Xiao Feng.
At this moment, it seemed that she had forgotten the pain of losing her loved ones, and it seemed that she had forgotten the grief she had experienced before.
"Big brother, where is this?" Suddenly, Little Fairy Doctor turned around and asked Xiao Feng.
"This is the Monster Mountain Range."
"What? The Monster Mountain Range!" Upon hearing Xiao Feng's answer, Little Fairy Doctor reacted as if she had encountered a raging flood or a ferocious beast. She immediately ran behind Xiao Feng, tightly gripping his clothes and refusing to let go. Xiao Feng completely blocked her view, as if she was afraid of being discovered by others.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng immediately understood that the name "Monster Mountain Range" carried a sense of fear and even terror for the people living in the Gama Empire.
The Monster Mountain Range, as the name suggests, is home to countless magical beasts and can be considered one of the most dangerous places in the entire Gama Empire. If it weren't for the strict hierarchical system among the magical beasts in the Monster Mountain Range, where the more powerful the beasts reside in the deepest parts, the closer one gets to the outer perimeter, the weaker the magical beasts would be, and the less of a threat they would pose to people.
Of course, people naturally felt fear towards a place teeming with magical beasts. Moreover, these beasts were not benevolent; on the contrary, they were extremely cruel. Many years ago, one could witness countless magical beasts uniting to attack cities, but this gradually decreased and eventually disappeared as the number of powerful humans increased.
However, for villages and towns near the Monster Mountain Range, it is common for entire villages to be slaughtered by monsters. These monsters not only devour human flesh but also take pleasure in torturing humans. Because these villages and towns are too small and remote, even if they have been slaughtered, they will not attract the attention of powerful people.
That's why Little Fairy Doctor, who lives in Green Willow Village near the Monster Mountain Range, becomes so afraid when she hears the name "Monster Mountain Range".
However, although the Monster Mountain Range is an extremely dangerous place, there is a saying that goes, "The more dangerous the place, the more opportunities it often contains."
The Monster Mountain Range is an undeveloped ancient forest. Not only are the monsters within a valuable resource, but it also contains numerous medicinal herbs and unknown treasures. This is why it attracts countless mercenaries to the Monster Mountain Range. Not only can they exchange the monster carcasses and magic cores they hunt for money, but they might also find one or two medicinal herbs along the way, which would be an unexpected bonus!
If they could even find a cave dwelling belonging to someone from the past, they could not only gain immense wealth, but also potentially rise to the top and become powerful and superior beings!
Of course, Little Fairy Doctor, who is still a child, is unaware of all this. In her mind, the Monster Mountain Range is an extremely dangerous place, a place that terrifies people and can stop children from crying at night!
"Don't worry, with your big brother here, you don't need to be afraid! Besides, don't you still have the jade pendant I gave you? Remember to keep it safe. If you encounter any danger, you can crush it and tell me, and I will come to save you!" Xiao Feng stroked Little Fairy Doctor's head and said softly.
"Okay! Little Fairy Doctor will remember!" Little Fairy Doctor touched her chest and nodded heavily.
With Xiao Feng's interruption, Little Fairy Doctor's resistance to the Monster Mountain Range wasn't as strong as before. Holding Little Fairy Doctor's hand, they walked forward, but before they had gone far, their path was blocked by a huge cliff. Looking at the cliff in front of them, it was at least a thousand meters deep and tens of meters wide. It could be said that unless one was at the Dou Wang realm and couldn't fly, crossing this cliff would be almost impossible.
Of course, this was no problem for Xiao Feng. He squatted down, held Little Fairy Doctor in his arms, stood up, took a step, and stood suspended in mid-air, walking straight into the depths of the cliff.
Upon seeing this scene, the little fairy doctor, held in someone's arms, couldn't help but start shouting loudly. Her voice echoed throughout the entire cliff and lingered for a long time.
In an instant, Xiao Feng led Little Fairy Doctor to a mountain cave.
That's right, this is the cave in the Monster Mountain Range, the very cave that Little Fairy Doctor originally discovered! However, Xiao Feng beat him to it. He had specifically paid attention to this cave while searching for food for Little Fairy Doctor, and even knew its exact location, which is why he was able to accurately appear around it now.
In the Dou Qi Continent, there are countless independent cultivators without any family or power. Because of this, the places where they pass away and the places of their inheritance are incredibly diverse, scattered throughout the land. Some have even survived falling off cliffs, only to receive the inheritance of a powerful figure, thus changing their destiny and soaring to great heights.
Therefore, a saying circulates among the people: "If you accidentally find yourself in a dead end or fall off a cliff, don't panic. Take a few more steps, and you might have some unexpected gains."
It is precisely because of this statement that every year countless young men and women with dreams will deliberately fall off cliffs in an attempt to find the former's cave and the place of inheritance. However, they often get nothing and end up with a crippled body or even die on the spot!
This cave in the Monster Mountain Range was clearly also left behind by a powerful figure. However, Xiao Feng was already one of the strongest on the continent, so how could he possibly care about the inheritance of a mere cave? The reason he treated it with such seriousness was not because of the inheritance or treasures within the cave, but because there was something of paramount importance in it: one of the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!
