Chapter 123 The Nest Treasure, the Cave Lord (Second Update, 5k words, please subscribe and vote)
"Snap!" A crisp sound.

As the Bloodfire died down, a crack suddenly appeared in the dark, impure shell, and a fish-man, only the size of a normal person, with green skin and scarlet eyes, emerged from it.

Wow haha!
The fish-man Blood God Child let out a happy cry and stood in front of Su Wangyu in a silly and cute manner.

Although it was still somewhat unsightly, this fish-man's appearance was now far superior to the water demon from before.

At least it's not as ugly anymore.

The Blood God of the Fishman is still only a 2-star character with no special abilities; he's just been refined and is still somewhat weak.

Once Su Wangyu has kept it in captivity for a while and it has mastered the Blood Path Demon Art, it will become a fresh Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Mission accomplished, this water demon is defeated!"

Seeing that Su Wangyu had dealt with the water demon, Lu Feng's face was full of smiles.

With the assistance of the Foundation Establishment stage Blood God Child, Su Wangyu's combat power can reach an even higher level.

Just as he was about to get up and go back, Su Wangyu called out to Lu Feng, pointing to the bottom of the lake:
"I learned from the merman blood god I refined that it has some resources and treasures hidden in its lair at the bottom of the lake. We can explore it while we're at it!"

"There are still treasures in the water demon's lair!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng immediately became interested.

After defeating the water monster, there's still a lair to explore, which is great.

Putting away the Dragon Armor Abomination and the Treant, the Murloc Blood God led the way and jumped into the lake.

Lu Feng and Su Wangyu were enveloped in a layer of bloody light, separating them from the lake water, and followed closely behind.

Enter the lake.

The lake water was icy cold, and it was somewhat murky near the shore, but once you went deeper into the lake, the water began to become clear.

Fish swim to and fro in the lake, and the aquatic plants are lush and green, creating a unique and beautiful scene.

The fish-man Blood God Child swam swiftly ahead, plunging deep into the lake.

At a depth of about three or four hundred meters above the water, sunlight cannot penetrate, and it is completely dark.

Lu Feng and Su Wangyu possessed the divine sense of the Foundation Establishment stage, and with a casual sweep, they could see the situation at the bottom of the water without relying on their eyes.

With the merman Blood God Child leading the way, they did not lose their way.

soon.

They found a fragmented underwater ruin at the bottom of the lake, with traces of large animal activity and some skeletal remains.

The water monster clearly made this underwater ruin its lair, living and eating there.

The underwater ruins were in complete disarray, with crumbling walls and broken walls everywhere.

Lu Feng and Su Wangyu could barely make out that this was the territory of a family called Nordka more than a thousand years ago, through some decorations and inscriptions on the ruins.

This territory, for reasons unknown, was shattered and sank to the bottom of the lake, becoming the lair of water monsters.

Following in the footsteps of the Blood God of the Fishman, Lu Feng and Su Wangyu arrived at the core of the underwater ruins.

There's a huge pile of random stuff here, the stuff the water sprite has accumulated over the years living in the lake.

Anything that exhibits elemental fluctuations, is filled with elements, or sparkles in the sunlight is collected and piled up here by the water demon.

Lu Feng and Su Wangyu controlled several Blood God Children to rummage through the items and actually picked out some good things.

【Golden Pearl (1-star material)】

Shadow Pearl (1-star material)

[Moonstone (1-star material)]

Aside from the scattered materials, there were also some broken treasures.

【Radiant Robe (1-Star Treasure)】

The robe, made of silk, was covered in black grime and had some holes, as if it had been eaten by a fish demon, which couldn't digest it and expelled it.

Iron Bone Greatsword (1-Star Treasure)

The greatsword was covered in rust, the tip was nowhere to be found, and the blade was full of nicks, as if it had been through a brutal battle and was quite damaged.

There are also other 1-star treasures, all of which have some damage.

"These things can all be taken back and repaired; they'll be great for improving our strength!"

These 1-star treasures are somewhat unpleasantly damaged, but once cleaned and repaired, they can still function and significantly enhance the Blackstone Territory's resources.

With Blood God Child in charge of sorting, Lu Feng and his group unearthed a total of 23 damaged 1-star treasures and 45 1-star materials from the nest.

This is the most lucrative loot Lu Feng has ever acquired to date.

All the spoils that were cleared out were put into the magic artifact humanoid bag.

After tidying up, Lu Feng prepared to leave, but the Fishman Blood God stopped in an open space and pointed to a stone slab at his feet.

"There's something inside! The water demon's most prized treasure is inside!"

Su Wangyu sensed the thoughts of the Fishman Blood God and spoke.

What's inside?
The merman Blood God Child lifted the stone slab, which was the size of a room, revealing a dark cave leading to the depths of the underwater ruins.

Lu Feng curiously probed into the cave with his divine sense, only to see a neat, dark passage.

This passage may have been infiltrated by water spirits over the years, as all the steps and edges have been worn smooth by them.

Only a bare passage remained.

The walls of the passage were covered with something, and Lu Feng's divine sense was suppressed as he tried to explore it, limiting the scope of his exploration.

Fortunately, Lu Feng, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, possessed powerful divine sense, enabling him to scan and explore an area within a ten-mile radius.

Even though his divine sense was somewhat suppressed by the arrangement of the passageway, Lu Feng could still see that at the end of the passageway was a vast palace submerged in water.

"It's amazing that there's such a grand hall at the bottom of the lake!"

Lu Feng told Su Wangyu about the situation at the bottom of the passage, and the two prepared to go down and explore.

The passageway was wide, and Lu Feng and Su Wangyu walked down it without any obstruction.

After passing through a passage several tens of meters long, we entered the main hall in the water.

A foul stench permeated the air, along with a faint scent of death. The hall was sparsely furnished, except for a male statue whose face was obscured, which stood silently in the center.

Whose statue is this?

Neither Lu Feng nor Su Wangyu could discern the origin of the statue from its clothing and decorations.

"In the memories of the merman blood god, whenever it offered food in front of this statue, the statue would reflect light, and then it would feel very comfortable!"

Listening to Su Wangyu talk about the impression the Fishman Blood God had of this statue, Lu Feng felt that the statue in front of him seemed a bit unorthodox.

"Be careful. Water monsters usually feed on fresh flesh and blood. Placing fresh flesh and blood in front of the statue is a bit like a blood sacrifice!"

Lu Feng, holding Su Wangyu's hand, frowned slightly and said that he was already considering retreating.

Having experienced the destruction of the sacrificial altar in the Abyss, Lu Feng is now reluctant to deal with the strange gods and demons of the Lord's World.

These things are too powerful; even the smallest thing peeking out from their claws could easily kill him.

Lu Feng really didn't want to take any risks.

however.

Just as Lu Feng was unable to discern the secrets within the hall and was preparing to retreat with Su Wangyu, a chilling sound, like the chirping of insects, suddenly emanated from the statues in the hall.

"My lord, please do not leave. My name is Hisos, and I am a powerful dungeon lord from the Underdark. The statue before you is a special treasure that allows us to establish a connection, enabling us to communicate across thousands of miles, or even across a single plane!"

At this moment, the face on the statue, which was previously indistinct, transformed into the face of an insect.

Two pitch-black insect eyes, along with the insect's signature mouthparts, make it look like an ant or a cockroach, so bizarre it sends chills down your spine.

The voice that spoke was also filled with a strange and bewitching spiritual power.

Lu Feng and Su Wangyu, with their strong mental fortitude, immediately sensed the ill intentions of the cave lord "Sisos" within the statue.

"Do it!"

Lu Feng and Su Wangyu were of one mind, neither of them having the slightest intention of communicating with the cave lord "Sisos". They both unleashed the Blood Burning Sword Scripture, and the leaping blood flames in the water-filled hall transformed into the sharpest sword energy, slashing towards the statue that was within arm's reach.

"Stone Beetle Shield!"

The cave lord "Sisos" was also prepared for Lu Feng and his group.

Almost as soon as they made their move, they cast a spell, conjuring up earthen-yellow shields resembling insect armor in front of the statue, which precisely blocked its path.

Ding!
Lu Feng's burning blood sword energy was vast and powerful, upright and righteous, and struck the stone beetle shield in front of the statue first.

The condensed and sharp sword energy, like needles, pierced the weak points of the stone beetle's shield, damaging its structure and striking its vitals.

The cave lord Sisos activated three stone beetle shields in succession to completely defend against Lu Feng's burning blood sword energy.

Under Lu Feng's powerful sword aura, Su Wangyu's Blood Burning Spirit Sword unleashed a blood-burning sword aura that was as black as a shadow, silently breaking through the Stone Beetle Shield's defense and striking the face of the Cave Lord Xisos.

The insect face of the crypt lord "Sisos" is not the flesh and blood of an ordinary insect, nor is it a chitinous carapace; rather, it resembles a hard metal.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

One after another, fiery sword energies blasted against the insect's face, causing its carapace to clang and sparks to fly, but they did not shake its defenses.

However, Lu Feng and Su Wangyu did not linger. Instead, they used their movement techniques to shoot towards the passage connecting the hall.

This unknown enemy, whose name was not even visible on the character panel, Lu Feng knew that this was not an enemy he could defeat.

Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best!
"You little brat, do you think you can leave my territory without paying a price for angering Lord Hisos?"

"Fossils become mud, and mud becomes stone!"

The statue crackled as the insect-faced, human-bodied crypt lord "Sisos" regained his mobility. With a wave of his hand, a surge of powerful earth elemental energy spread out, causing the stone walls of the passage connecting the hall to writhe and begin to close.

The stone passage, three or four meters in diameter, was transformed into a solid stone wall in the blink of an eye, before Lu Feng and Su Wangyu arrived.

They casually unleashed a burst of blood-red sword energy from their positions on the stone wall, carving out gaps that stretched for tens of meters.

However, under the immense earth elemental power of the cave lord "Sisos," these gaps healed instantly, turning into solid stone walls, without lasting even a moment or two.

"Oh no!" Lu Feng thought to himself, "This is bad."

The cave lord "Sisos" cast a mid-level earth spell.

The former fossils are mud, which can turn hard rocks into flowing soil.

The latter can turn mud into stone, transforming soil into hard rock.

The two worked together, and under the precise control of the cave lord "Sisos," brought the stone walls that formed the passage to life.

This completely blocked the only escape route for Lu Feng and his companion.

Facing a mid-level earth mage, breaking through the thick earthen wall and returning to the bottom of the lake would be extremely difficult.

With no hope of escape, Lu Feng and Su Wangyu did not panic. Instead, they turned around and continued fighting the cave lord "Xisos".

As the battle progressed, Lu Feng discovered that the spells cast by the cave lord "Sisos" were mostly intermediate-level earth-based spells.

The strength is approximately at the level of a 2-star white board.

He was inferior to Yi Lufeng and Su Wangyu, and could not withstand their burning blood sword energy.

His earth-based attack spells were extremely slow, posing no threat to Lu Feng and Su Wangyu's agility.

However, the body of the cave lord "Sisos" was exceptionally tough; even Su Wangyu's Blood-Burning Spirit Sword, which was embedded in his insect face, could not break through his defenses.

"Is this a test of endurance? A test of stamina? Are they going to wear it down to death?"

Lu Feng muttered to himself, his hands never stopping as he repeatedly used the Blood Burning Sword Manual he knew, combined with blood-based spells.

They used the crypt lord "Sisos" as a live target to practice their combat skills, beating him to a pulp.

After discovering that the cave lord "Sisos" had limited attack power and posed no threat to the two of them, Su Wangyu simply stood aside, guiding Lu Feng in battle and imparting her combat experience.

"Stop, stop, don't fight! Can't we talk this over?"

Being used as a live target and constantly beaten, the cave lord "Sisos" was extremely frustrated and repeatedly begged for mercy.

It was not here in person, but through a family heirloom, it communicated with the long-silent statue, and a wisp of consciousness descended to activate the statue.

Unexpectedly, the first person I met was someone as cautious as Lu Feng.

Seeing that the situation was not good, they either ran away or drew their swords.

The Crypt Lord "Sisos" is only a 2-star intermediate mage with limited abilities; his powerful physical defense relies entirely on the energy within the statue.

Seeing that the energy in the statue was about to be exhausted, "Sisos" was so anxious that his brain was practically steaming.

However, Lu Feng ignored Xisos's anxiety. He and Su Wangyu both keenly noticed that the statue's defenses and movements were becoming sluggish.

They speculated that the statue was probably activated using some kind of power, and that once the power stored in the statue was exhausted, the cave lord "Sisos" would soon lose its ability to resist.

Lu Feng and his group were absolutely right. When Lu Feng got tired and Su Wangyu took over the fight, the statue suddenly froze in a strange pose.

"We've finally exhausted the energy of this statue!"

Lu Feng and Su Wangyu exchanged a glance, ignoring the still begging "Xisos," and instead unleashed a burst of blood energy to grab the statue in their hands.

"Let's go! Let's get out of here first!"

In the underwater hall, there was nothing else of value. Lu Feng held the statue, while Su Wangyu unleashed the Burning Blood Sword Scripture, and streaks of sword energy pierced through the stone walls that were not reinforced by the earth elemental power of "Xisos".

Wow!

The last section of the stone wall shattered with a deafening roar. During the previous exchange, in an attempt to prevent the two from escaping, Sisos had gone so far as to completely block the passage, which stretched for dozens of meters.

Back at the bottom of the lake and out of the confined hall, Lu Feng and Su Wangyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Emerging from the great lake, Lu Feng and Su Wangyu flew back to Golden Eagle Territory with the statue and found Akalaia.

Boom!
The statue, weighing at least several thousand kilograms, fell to the ground, creating a hole, which caught Akaleya's attention.

“Akalea, with your family’s scholarly background, you might recognize what this statue is. We went to the Great Lake to hunt down the water monster, but we found this statue in its lair!”

"After this statue was activated, it transformed into this insect-faced, human-bodied form, and claimed to be a cave lord named Sisos!"

Among the 100,000 books that Lu Feng and Su Wangyu had read, there was no record of such a statue, so they could only turn to Akaleya for help.

After all, Akalia comes from the Golden Eagle family of the Leiden Empire, with a long and distinguished family tradition and has seen many fine things.

Listening to Lu Feng's description, Akaleya also became curious about the origin of the statue.

She activated her Eagle Eye technique, her eyes shining with brilliant gold, carefully observing the composition of the statue, attempting to find its origin from the traces of its creation and the subtle details.

After looking for a while, Akalia shook his head helplessly:
"I have heard of the title 'Crypt Lord.' It refers to a lord who exists in the dark underworld."

"They use caves as their territory, creating their own underground kingdoms, and are therefore known as the Cave Lords. Many strange races live in the underground world, and there are quite a few monsters with insect faces like these!"

"I've only heard of the Crypt Lord, but I've never seen such a statue!"

Akalia's explanation left Lu Feng and Su Wangyu slightly disappointed.

This statue could serve as a medium for the consciousness of a cave lord from the underground world to descend, which is quite impressive in that respect.

If we could crack its secrets and apply them to Blackrock Territory, it might become an extraordinary technology.

Seemingly noticing the disappointment on Lu Feng's face, Akalia hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Although I don't recognize this statue, I know there's someone who definitely does, but... but..."

Akalia is a descendant of the Golden Eagle family and has a wide circle of friends, including some powerful figures, so Lu Feng wasn't surprised at all.

But judging from her hesitant expression, it seemed that Akalia and this person didn't get along.

"But, but what? Akalia, don't worry, whatever problems arise, as long as I can handle them, leave them to me!"

Lu Feng patted Akalia on the shoulder, encouraging her.

With Lu Feng's strong support, Akalia gained the confidence to face that person.

"That person is a mage and a descendant of the Golden Eagle family. We've been at odds since childhood. I came to the Tales region to build my territory, while she went to the Morning Star Tower to further her studies and learn more profound magical knowledge."

"If I were to ask her, with the vast collection at the Morning Star Tower, she would surely be able to find out the origin of this statue!"
