Chapter 151: Walking out of the cave

  Xuan Yue's curved knife suddenly reached the pinnacle of artifacts, on par with Guo Fei's Xuantie sword, leaving Guo Fei perplexed and lost in thought. He sometimes transformed into a sword soldier, sometimes into a ninja, while Jin Ying became a ninja after that, Xuan Yue's curved knife never left his hand, and he treated the weapon as his own arm, extremely fond of it. Adding to that, the curved knife itself was extremely light, so its rapid evolution wasn't surprising.

  However, due to its light weight, it does not have strong killing power, but excels in being sinister and is suitable for assassination.

  After refining the Xuan Yue curved knife, Guo Fei also forged an axe gun for Cold Blade by combining Xuan Tie and Thousand Year Wu Gang.

  "Lengdao, you are now suitable for using this weapon!" Guo Fei had Liang Tie bring it over and handed the axe-spear to him. After Lengdao defected to Guo Fei, he remained silent and devoted himself to training.

  Watching Guo Fei hand him the weapon, he was about to refuse, but in an instant his eyes lit up, and he reached out to grasp the axe-spear. The axe-spear flashed with a cold light, and suddenly he felt a sense of familiarity, how could he not know that this axe-spear suited him better?

  "Thank you!" Leng Dao bowed and said.

  "Carry it with you every day, and later when I have better materials, I can further forge it for you! This sword of mine evolved in just such a way." Guo Fei's palm waved, and the Xuan Tie Sword suddenly flew into the air, dancing wildly like flowing light.

  Lengdao looked at Guo Fei's Xuantie sword, and his expression changed again. A faint sense of loss flashed in his eyes as he thought about how Guo Fei's cultivation was on par with his back then. Now, not to mention that Guo Fei had dozens of people under him who far surpassed Lengdao, Guo Fei himself had also far exceeded him. Lengdao felt a faint sense of loss and faint joy in his heart, nodded heavily, and retreated.

  The superior materials were almost used up, although Guo Fei still wanted to make a bow for Liang Tie and re-forge his Xuan Yue Wan knife, unfortunately the remaining materials that Guo Fei looked down on could only be used to forge defensive gear.

  The remaining materials were actually quite good, but the kingdom couldn't possibly use such materials to make armor on a large scale. Guo Fei spent another two months crafting thirty-six sets of lightweight armor that protected the entire body. The ghost soldiers and ninjas wore black armor, while the rest of the armor was mixed with gold coins and had a slightly golden color, looking very luxurious.

  Finally, all the materials looted from the Spirit Temple and the spoils of war seized midway were used up by Guo Fei. All the materials were consumed in an instant. This made Guo Fei secretly shocked. When he first obtained these materials, he thought he was already a rich man, but after equipping thirty-six people, they were all used up. If he had to equip thousands of people, he wondered how many materials would be needed.

  "It's still too poor! No family business, can't gather wealth and make money, relying on robbery is not a solution." Guo Fei sighed deeply.

  After so many days of forging, Guo Fei's physical body had also been greatly strengthened. The yuanqi in the source continuously infiltrated into his bones, and the method of tempering the golden body could automatically operate, allowing Guo Fei to step onto the path of cultivation.

  It's been a year and a half in the underground cave, if it wasn't for Guo Fei's habit of storing food in his military space, he would have starved to death. A cultivator who hasn't entered the state of enlightenment needs to keep eating constantly, otherwise it will cause great harm to the body.

  However, the food has already run out and can't last for many more days. The ghost soldiers absorb yin energy, so they don't fear hunger, but Guo Fei and Hu Xiaoyue are not the same.

  "Dawn Moon, have you cleared the passage and found a way out?"

  "Master, not yet! Tianhunzi is still leading the ghost soldier squad in digging!" Hu Xiaoyue frowned and said.

  "Go take a look!" Guo Fei couldn't help himself and got up to go.

  Tianhunzi and others also worked extremely hard, digging tunnels everywhere, opening up many channels, but in the end, they all felt hopeless and returned without success.

  "Sorry, young master, I haven't found a way out yet. If only we had the Earth Escape Technique." Tianhunzi exclaimed.

  "Earth Concealment Technique!" Guo Fei was extremely astonished, could it be that this world really had such an ultimate skill.

  "Of course there is, but it's extremely rare. The earth attribute ultimate skill has the Earth Escape Technique, which is a top-notch ultimate skill in the Heavenly Rank. It can be encountered but not sought!" Tianhunzi sighed with infinite longing.

  "Stop talking nonsense, let's hurry up and get out of here! I'll go check it out!" Guo Fei thought for a moment. When it comes to sensitivity to the heavens and the earth, no one can compare to a soldier's intuition. He was extremely sensitive to the aura and killing intent in this place. This cave lacked the metal attribute of the five elements, so Guo Fei wanted to use his Xuan Tie sword to sense the amount of metal attribute energy present. As long as he found a slightly dense area, it would definitely be close to the outside, allowing him to find the weakest point and break through.

  "Hiss!" The Xuan Tie sword flew out of Guo Fei's sleeve and instantly hovered in the air, dancing around the tunnel dug by Tian Hunzi and others.

  "It's here! Dig from here!" Finally, Guo Fei's Xuan Tie sword stopped at a place where Tian Hunzi and others had given up before. Guo Fei pointed to this place and said in a low voice.

  "Brothers, add more strength, dig!" Tianhunzi now has a sincere trust in Guo Fei. Seeing Guo Fei pointing here, he immediately waved his hand to the Ghost Soldier Troop behind him, and the troop began to dig vigorously under the leadership of the two captains.

  After dozens of days of excavation, a bright light suddenly shot in, making the excavating ghost soldiers overjoyed.

  "We've finally dug through! Wait for me to report to Young Master!" Tianhunzi was overjoyed, turned around and ran towards Guo Fei's cave.

  Guo Fei smiled faintly and let Hu Xiaoyue tidy up all the items, preparing to leave this underground cave.

  The scorching sunlight shines down, waves of fragrance assail the nostrils, this is an open-air cave, the cave is full of wisteria plants, on which are blooming countless tiny flowers that dazzle the eyes.

  "Guo Fei, although we've been underground for over a year, this time when we come out, we still need to be stealthy and hide our presence, lest we attract unnecessary trouble from the Ling tribe." Miao Yu reminded in a low voice.

  "What good strategy do you have?" Guo Fei hesitated for a moment before asking.

  "Among all of you, the ones who are most easily recognizable are certainly me, Guo Fei, you, Yi'er and Tianhunzi Guiwang. I and Yi'er can disguise ourselves as men, Guo Fei, you can simply change your appearance, while Tianhunzi..." Miao Yu trailed off.

  Guo Fei knew that Tiān Hún Zǐ was not easy to assign, and most people didn't want to enter the dull Bīng Fú space. He smiled slightly and said: "Tiān Hún Zǐ and we can disguise ourselves, the rest of the ghost soldiers will be put away, and Xiǎo Yuè can also dress up as a man."

  "Master, why don't we form a demon-hunting team too? That way, we can travel openly on the continent." Hu Xiaoyue said in a soft voice.

  "Hunters of demons, walking in the mountains and forests, hunting demon beasts to earn a meager income, all earned through hard work, but it's too lowly, not matching our status. As the saying goes, 'painting a tiger but ending up with a dog', our value is too high, whether in appearance or temperament, we are far superior to demon hunters. Experienced people will definitely see through this!" Guo Fei said with a faint smile.

  "It's true, your current wealth is no less than the treasury of a kingdom, how can you pretend to be a demon hunter?" Miao Yu also nodded and smiled.

  "What form should we take when traveling across the continent?" asked Guo Fei with a smile.

  "You look like a nouveau riche, not at all like nobility even in those fancy clothes!" Tang Yi jeered from the side. Guo Fei had made weapons and armor for everyone, but hadn't made any for her or Miao Yu, which left her extremely dissatisfied.

  "Haha. The princess is right, I'm from a poor background, originally a nouveau riche, and now I've got a princess as my maid, it's a huge explosion! In the future, I'll marry a Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan as my wife, and you all will be so jealous you'll die!" Guo Fei laughed loudly.
