Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Two days later.

Mount Emei is a steep mountain, and the mountains behind it are even more dangerous, with narrow paths and jagged rocks, making it difficult for even birds to cross.

In the past two days, Zhao Xu has been traveling between mountains and valleys. Although the terrain here is dangerous, it is as easy as walking on flat ground for him.

Although Zhao Xu had been to the back mountain two days ago, it was night time and he was busy with external affairs so he could not investigate carefully.

However, he also took advantage of that opportunity to detect all the guards of Emei Sect in the back mountain.

That's why Zhao Xu has been able to roam around here so openly these past two days.

Although Yan Nantian's treasure map is fake, the underground palace under the cliffs behind the Emei Mountain is real.

Why is Zhao Xu so actively involved in this fake treasure dispute?

In addition to wanting to make a name for himself in the Ming Dynasty world, his biggest goal is to end this incident quickly so that he can hunt for treasure more easily.

His target has always been the underground palace, and the most important thing is the "Five Divine Skills" hidden therein.

Mount Emei is so vast. Even though it is only the back mountain, relying on Zhao Xu alone to search for it is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu had memories of his previous life and knew some features of the location of the underground palace.

Firstly, the cliff there slopes inwards, but there are many places to stand on the upper section, among which a sunken cave is the most critical.

There are two people and a large amount of treasure trapped inside. The reason for this is related to a gang case that happened more than ten years ago.

Basically, Shen Qinghong, the chief escort of the three major escort agencies in Central Plains, took on an unprecedented large escort mission.

Not wanting to be noticed by the twelve zodiac signs, he knew it would be difficult to save himself, so he made two preparations.

On the one hand, he used the strategy of escaping from the shell to secretly hide the darts in a cave on the cliff.

On the other hand, the great hero Yan Nantian was invited, but due to some mistaken circumstances, several of the Twelve Constellations died at the hands of Yan Nantian.

Finally, Shen Qinghong dueled with Lord Xian Guo, and used a trick to trap both of them in a cave.

Secondly, there were dense monkey populations there, and the two men were able to survive for more than ten years by using these monkey populations to obtain fruits and vegetables.

Time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the sun set. Just as Zhao Xu was considering whether to end the search for today, his ears suddenly moved.

There was a faint sound of stones being thrown. It was truly the sound of sound traveling through a hollow valley. Only in such a vast and empty valley could the sound travel so far.

Delighted, Zhao Xu used his physical skills to follow the sound.

Soon, Zhao Xu stood on the edge of a cliff. About thirty feet below, a group of monkeys were grinning and throwing fruits towards a certain place.

At the same time, stones kept flying out from that place and thrown at the monkeys.

This god of offering fruit is indeed the "Monkey" among the twelve zodiac signs. He is well versed in the nature of monkeys and has survived for more than ten years using this method.

However, the twelve zodiac signs have done many evil things and their death does not deserve a pity. Today, Zhao Xu encountered them and naturally wanted to eliminate this harm for the people.

The cave is located more than a hundred meters away from the top of the cliff. Even with Zhao Xu's current level, it is unrealistic to rely solely on Qinggong to go down.

Ropes? No.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu stretched out his hands and looked at them, took a deep breath, leaped up, and jumped down.

The wind from the mountain stream whistled past me, and in just a moment it dropped more than twenty feet.

When he was almost at the cave, Zhao Xu mobilized all his strength and thrust his hands fiercely towards the cliff wall.

There was not much movement, like a hot knife cutting into butter, ten fingers inserted easily, and the rapidly falling body suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Only someone like Zhao Xu, who has mastered both Chinese martial arts and external skills to a high level, would dare to participate in such an exciting activity.

Only such a strong body can withstand the pulling force at that moment.

Of course, we also have to thank the perfect Iron Sand Palm, with which we can insert our hands into the stone wall so easily.

Soon, Zhao Xu saw the God of Offering Fruits, and at first glance, he really looked like a monkey.

Without wasting time communicating with him, Zhao Xu sent this evil person directly to hell.

It’s a pity for Shen Qinghong, as Zhao Xu had intended to rescue this loyal man.

It may be the influence of the Zongwu world, which has been dead for many years.

Shen Qinghong had already passed away, so Zhao Xu naturally accepted the valuables hidden here.

The things were not difficult to find. In a dark corner, Zhao Xu found two rusty black iron boxes.

When I opened it, I saw it was indeed full of jewels and dazzling splendor.

Looking at these treasures and then at the body of the God of Offering Fruits, Zhao Xu couldn't help but become alert.

It is true that "people die for money and birds die for food". I should take this as a warning.

Zhao Xu left the two boxes of valuable goods where they were, planning to move them later. The most important thing now was the treasure in the underground palace.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking down.

If an ordinary person came to this steep cliff obscured by mist and smoke, his pupils would swell and he would feel dizzy.

I have to say that martial arts is a magical thing that turns many impossibilities into possibilities.

So, Zhao Xu started to play for his life again, repeating the previous action over and over again. Every time he descended a few dozen feet, he inserted his hand into the stone wall to slow down his speed.

He was in a good mood at the moment, and from time to time he looked at the top of the cliff and the Emei scenery below.

As it was falling, Zhao Xu suddenly remembered the action of a male actor named Li in his previous life who went downstairs barehanded in a movie. The action was very similar to Zhao Xu's behavior at this moment.

But after a while, we reached the ground.

Looking up, the bottom of the valley is like the base of a bottle, surrounded by mirror-smooth cliffs. It is impossible to get out by relying on light skills alone.

Such a valley is not only not humid, but warm and dry, and there is soft green grass underfoot.

There are flowers, plants and trees everywhere, and the beautiful scenery gives people a feeling of being in a fairyland on earth.

The only bad thing is that it is too quiet here. There is no life at all and it is dead silent.

In one place, fairyland and death are intertwined.

Being able to find such a place to build an underground palace, Ouyang Ting’s title of “dragon among men” is indeed not an exaggeration.

Zhao Xu was not obsessed with the scenery, because he still had a big problem to deal with, that was Xiao Mimi, one of the ten evil men who had occupied this place for many years.

Among the ten evil men, Xiao Mimi's martial arts and strategies are the best, and her nickname is "Charming enough to kill people".

She is best at seducing handsome men, and most of these men are from various martial arts sects.

Xiao Mimi learned a lot of martial arts with the selfless help of these lovers, but it was precisely because there were too many techniques that her martial arts were broad but not profound.

Zhao Xu can now sense the area within a dozen meters around him, so even though the valley is full of traps, they are nothing to him.

After avoiding numerous traps, Zhao Xu finally found the entrance to the underground palace, a hollow ancient tree.

After years of persistent learning, Zhao Xu has made achievements in not only martial arts but also mechanical engineering. Therefore, the mechanism at the entrance of the underground palace cannot stop Zhao Xu.

Time flies. In order not to alarm Xiao Mimi in the underground palace, Zhao Xu can only use time and speed to infiltrate safely.

When the moon was at its zenith, he finally entered the main hall of the underground palace.
