Ancient Cave 79

  In the pitch-black cave, a group of people were hurrying along, and Xiaoming used fire magic to illuminate their way, which made things much easier.

  The dimly lit surroundings made Clara a little scared, and she involuntarily leaned closer to Xiaoming, feeling the warmth of the flames, which finally brought a hint of warmth.

  Just now in the cave fight, Xia Ming's strength that came out had shocked them a bit. The mercenaries looking at Xia Ming all had a hint of reverence in their eyes.

  Xia Ming suddenly stopped in his tracks.

  Clara, who was in a hurry, didn't notice and couldn't stop herself, bumping into Xiaoming.

  "Ah......" Clara buried her head in Xiaoming's chest, and a girl's unique fragrance suddenly filled his nostrils.

  Clara's face turned red: "Sorry, sorry......" Her first reaction was actually an apology.

  Xia Ming also felt a bit awkward, rubbing his nose: "Nothing, just... there's no road ahead." Xia Ming pointed to the front, where a huge stone gate blocked everyone's path.

  "Trouble...". Everyone's face didn't look too good. At this time, they were blocked and if the Snow Wolf gang caught up, it would be disastrous.

  Xia Ming also furrowed his brow, and he tentatively knocked on the stone gate with his surname, only to feel an overwhelming heaviness: "No way, this stone gate is too thick, at least a 7th-level Dou Qi or magic is needed to blast it open!"

  Xia Ming's words made everyone's faces change color even more.

  "This cave looks man-made at first glance. Since it's possible for someone to dig, it can't be a dead end. There must be a mechanism. As long as we're careful and find the mechanism, we can open it." Su Weiwei said.

  As she spoke, Su Weiwei walked towards the stone gate, her searching gaze moving over it, examining the stone wall by the faint light of the fire. Her slender fingers also stretched out, feeling around on the stone gate.

  "Found it!"

  Su Weiwei's words were like heavenly music, exciting everyone.

  Looking at Su Wei's hand, Xia Ming only discovered that there was a protruding place on the stone gate, which was not very noticeable and had to be carefully searched for. It turned out that this was where the mechanism was located.

  Su Wei's slender wrist pressed down, and a creaking sound came forth, followed by a loud rumbling noise. The stone gate shook violently before bursting open with a deafening crash.

  As the stone gate slowly rose, this dim space suddenly brightened up, and rays of light burst forth, sweeping away all the darkness in the entire cave.

  Xia Ming let out a sigh of relief, and others were even more relieved.

  "Go ahead, you guys go in first, I'll destroy the mechanism last, so Snow Wolf's people can't get in," Su Weiwei said.

  Upon hearing this, Xia Ming and the others no longer hesitated, one by one they passed through the stone gate and entered inside.

  Half a beat later, another deafening crash sounded, and the stone gate slowly fell down. Su Weiwei only caught up at this point.

  Everyone's line of sight opened up, and in front of them was a huge stone chamber. On the rock wall were embedded many magic lamps, but they had all gone out and some were old and damaged. It seemed that the history here was already very distant.

  Inside the stone chamber, there was a narrow passageway that should be the exit to the outside. Seeing this passageway, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that they had finally escaped with their lives.

  "This, this is the Moonlight Pearl!" After relaxing, someone soon noticed that the source of light in the stone room was a pearl hanging on the stone wall, about the size of a fist, shining brightly and attracting everyone's attention from the beginning.

  Moonlit Pearl, this is a very valuable treasure. Although it has no effect on cultivation, it is indeed a favorite gemstone of the nobility, emitting a brilliant light that has earned it the adoration of the noblewomen in the imperial palace.

  A moonstone of this size, about the size of a fist, would probably cost nearly ten thousand gold coins.

  The Blood Rose people are all excited, the adventurers' knife-mouthed life of blood-licking is nothing but for the pursuit of gold coins and stimulation. This Moon Bright Pearl worth ten thousand gold coins is enough to let each of them get a not small fortune.

  At this moment, the person with the blood-colored rose immediately took down the Moon Pearl and handed it over to Paul. Paul smiled slightly, and the gloom on his face finally dissipated a bit.

  "Thanks to the three of you, we were able to escape from Snow Wolf Mercenaries. I won't take all the credit for this month's Mingzhu Pearl, I'll give you 50%!" Paul said after a moment of contemplation.

  Xia Ming nodded slightly, Paul's decision was indeed difficult to make, after all, the Blood Rose had a large number of people, and they had lost a big batch tonight.

  "This cave has a long history, it's very likely that it was left over from the time of the Wandering Spirits' calamity. Let's search carefully and see if there's anything else." Su Weiwei said lightly.

  The pit left over from the time of the vengeful spirits, isn't that going back three thousand years...

  Everyone's eyes lit up, such a remote ancient cave, if there is anything left behind, it must be a treasure.

  At this point, everyone made an effort to search.

  "Ah, here..." A cry of surprise came, it was Clara's exclamation. Xiaoming thought something had happened, until he followed the sound to Clara's front and found her face a bit pale, obviously having received a fright. In front of her was a white skull, appearing suddenly in this place, giving off an eerie atmosphere.

  "This should be the remains of our predecessor, don't worry." Xia Ming comforted Clara with a sentence. Clara's exclamation attracted everyone to come over and take a look at the skull, and they were all shocked.

  Xia Ming crouched down and gently touched the skull, but unexpectedly the skull immediately disintegrated and turned into ashes!

  "My goodness, this skull's history is too long, it actually shattered with just one touch!" Tang Ge stared with wide eyes.

  After the skull was reduced to ashes, Xia Ming suddenly discovered that there was a small black box under the skull. As soon as the skull turned into ashes, the small black box immediately appeared.

  "This box... might have some good stuff inside." Tong Ge's eyes lit up instantly.

  Xia Ming also nodded, without saying a word, and picked up the small black box. The black box had an exquisite small lock on it, with very fine workmanship. However, unfortunately, due to its age being too far away, the lock had already lost its function. Xia Ming easily opened it.

  Open the small black box, inside is a sheepskin paper, on which are written full of words.

  "This is... magic spell!"

  Xia Ming's words made everyone lose interest, the magic spell, in this situation there is only one magician Xia Ming, which also means that this thing is only useful for him alone.

  Xia Ming shook his head, actually not very interested in his heart. Magic spells were not very useful for him who had the Eternal Book and Anthony's inheritance, unless they were some rare magic spells.

  Enduring the surname Zi, Xia Ming looked at the sheepskin paper in his hand.

  He then fixed his gaze, and a hint of surprise and delight immediately flashed in his eyes - this was no ordinary magic spell!

  On the parchment, two magic spells were recorded. One was teleportation and the other was a fire spell called "Fire Prison Cage".

  Teleportation technique, as the name suggests, allows the magician to move instantly, which is almost a must-have skill for all magicians, and it's simply one of the most important means of escape and combat.

  However, teleportation is actually a spell that can only be mastered by magicians above level 7! And generally, only a few magicians above level 7 can use it.

  But it has to be said that the owner of this little black box is a genius.

  According to the records on the parchment, the master of this black box tried countless methods and made multiple studies on magical tones and elemental combinations after which he improved the teleportation technique, making it possible for magicians below level 5 to use teleportation!

  "I spent my entire life studying magic, improving the Instant Movement Technique, making it possible for magicians below level 5 to master and use. However, it consumes a lot of magical power... I thought it could bring about a revolution in magic, but it ended up being nothing..." This is what the owner of the sheepskin paper left behind, and it's not hard to see the sighs and regrets within.

  "What a genius! To have improved the technique, even a Saint Spirit mage might not be able to do it...!" Xia Ming couldn't help but admire, and felt another wave of excitement. This Instant Movement Technique was tailor-made for him!

  At this moment, Xia Ming couldn't wait any longer and waved his staff, reciting an incantation.

  The next second, Xiaoming's figure flashed and he instantly appeared tens of meters away.

  "This is... Teleportation!" The Blood Rose people didn't recognize it, but Tong'er and Su Weiwei both looked surprised.

  For the first time using Instant Movement Technique, Xia Ming felt that his whole body's magic power was emptied, instantly losing nearly thirty percent, and this was still Xia Ming's first time feeling magic power depletion after releasing magic.

  "This Instant Movement Technique, although improved, can be used by 5th level mages, but the consumption of magic is really too huge. Even I can only release it three times at most in one battle, and ordinary 5th level mages are lucky to be able to release it once..." Xiaoming thought to himself.

  "You, is this Instant Movement Technique?" Tang Ke was a bit unbelievable, it's really incredible, isn't Instant Movement Technique a 7th-level spell? How did Xia Ming, a 5th-level magician, manage to use it?

  Imagine Xia Ming using teleportation in the future battles, then coordinating with his terrifying casting speed to launch a crazy barrage. Tang Ge couldn't help but shiver at the thought.
