“Luo Tian, have you lost your mind? Why are you going into the Black Wind Cave? Don’t you know that even ghosts are afraid of going there? You are not allowed to go!”
The Black Wind Cave was a place where ten going in would result in nine dying. Everyone knew this.
Even if that one person survives, they will be left with half a life and basically become a cripple.
When the name Black Wind Cave was mentioned, Bai Lingling immediately said, “You can’t! You can’t go into the Black Wind Cave!”
Bai Qi also said, “Last time, if I hadn’t been hit with the Scorching Sun Poison resulting with yang toxin in my body, I would have died a long time ago. There are also those Corpse Eating Rats in there, and you know very well how strong those rats are. Going in there is equivalent to sending yourself to your own demise.”
Bai Xiong added, “Boss, there had to be another way. Don’t go inside the Black Wind Cave. You have no clue how many people we know have died there.”
Lin Dong added, “Boss, that place is really terrifying. It’s a forbidden area of the Towering Cloud City where no one would go near.”
Every resident of Towering Cloud City knew how terrifying the Black Wind Cave was.
People would rather die than enter the Black Wind Cave.
Luo Tian planned on entering the Black Wind Cave? Wasn’t that equivalent to having a problem with living too long?
However, if he wanted to beat Ao Sheng, slap his face, and slap the Hai family’s face, Luo Tian had no other methods.
In order to enter the Misty Cloud Academy, he knew he wouldn’t be able to get in through normal means. He wouldn’t be able to enter the selection examination normally either. The only way he could get in was by making a bet so that everyone would be an eyewitness to the transaction. And then, he diverted Ao Sheng’s thoughts to make it look like he was just greedy for the xuan coins.
Luo Tian’s main goal was to make the matter as big as possible. Preferably to the point where the entire city knew about it. Only then would Ao Sheng not make any more rule changes, and only then can he have a chance to participate.
The xuan coins were just something extra. In order to win the bet, Luo Tian had to enter the Black Wind Cave. This was his only choice right now.
There was no way he would suddenly start massacring people on the streets. And the closest location with demonic beasts was the Black Wind Cave.
Most importantly, the experience points of the Corpse Eating Rats in the Black Wind Cave were very high. Just one of them was 10,000 points. He needed about 600,000 experience points to break through to the Condensation Element realm. So, as long as he killed 60 of them, he would be able to level up.
Luo Tian was moved when he saw how each of them was so nervous. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I was able to come out alive the last time, so I will be able to do it again this time.”
After saying that, Luo Tian turned around and proceeded to leave the courtyard.
Time was tight, and he didn’t want to waste it. Even though he felt that he had plenty of time, he didn’t have a clear understanding of the Black Wind Cave. Therefore, it was better to go in earlier, just in case.
Bai Qi’s brow furrowed before stopping Luo Tian. He pulled out a small vial from his pocket and said, “Since you’ve already made up your mind, I won’t stop you. These are some Healing Pills, so keep it on you. It doesn’t matter if you can come out of the Black Wind Cave or not; don’t worry about the Bai Family. Even if Ao Sheng is more overbearing, he’s not going to destroy the Bai family because it will affect the image of the Misty Cloud Academy.”
Luo Tian didn’t refuse the pills and said, “Thank you.”
The courtyard was silent after Luo Tian left.
A brief moment later, Bai Lingling’s eyes narrowed before she started running after Luo Tian. She was suddenly stopped by Bai Qi’s shout. “You’ll only make things more difficult for him! You will not be able to resist for five hours in there, so going in is a death sentence for you!”
Bai Lingling’s face was full of anxiety as she was worried about Luo Tian. Even though she always called him a smelly scoundrel, pervert, or miser, she actually had positive feelings for him. Especially when Ao Sheng held onto her hands without letting go, and Luo Tian stepped forward to help her. She was very touched by his actions. She then said anxiously, “Father, we all know what kind of place the Black Wind Cave is. We can’t just watch him get killed like that. We need to do something!”
Bai Qi said softly, “Xiong’er, go to the treasury and see how many xuan coins we can take out. Then, go to my room and get the Golden Jade Cicada. The Deng family’s Deng Leigong has always wanted it. Go and see if he wants to buy it based on his previous offer.”
Bai Lingling said with astonishment, “Father, that Golden Jade Cicada was an heirloom left by grandfather. It’s your favorite possession!”
Bai Qi sighed, “We can’t think about those things right now. And that Golden Jade Cicada is actually something I prepared for your dowry. Xiong’er, go ahead and take care of it.”
Bai Xiong didn’t comment and replied, “I will do it now.”
Bai Qi then said to himself, “I hope the xuan coins can satisfy Ao Sheng…”
This was all he could do, even when doing his best. But Bai Qi really wasn’t sure if it would help.
This was the Heaven Sword they were talking about, a treasury at least of the sky grade. A mere few hundred thousand xuan coins were nothing in the eyes of Ao Sheng.
Even if it was only a trace of hope, Bai Qi didn’t want to let it go.
Nothing bad can happen to Luo Tian, especially for his daughter’s future happiness.
Lin Dong was blaming himself off to the side. He felt like he couldn’t do anything to help Luo Tian. He also felt ashamed before saying to himself, “I need to make more breakthroughs! I must become strong! One day, I will take down whoever dares to make things difficult for the boss!”
—————————
Black Wind Cave.
An eerie wind was gusting, causing Luo Tian to shiver at the entrance of the cave.
Goosebumps appeared all over his body.
The hair on Luo Tian’s arms stood up when he heard the sound of the wind, which was similar to ghosts crying. When the thought of those huge, disgusting-looking rats came up, he almost wanted to throw up. “Fuuu~… Nothing can stop me in this world.”
“Hai family, I will trample on top of you one day!”
Luo Tian then took large strides into the cave.
“Squeak~, squeak~…”
“Wooooooo~… woooooooo~…”
The eerie wind blew, mixed with the sound of the Corpse Eating Rats gnawing on bones.
Luo Tian walked to the depths openly without any caution. He then shouted, “Corpse Eating Rats! This daddy is back! Come and attack if you want to eat my meat! If you’re any slower, there won’t be any meat left!”
“Squeak~, squeak~, squeak~…”
Before Luo Tian could say anything more, the sound of dozens of Corpse Eating Rats could be heard scurrying over.
The sound of debris tumbling to the ground was heard. A burst of eerie wind came blowing, followed by a nauseating odor.
“They’re here!”
Luo Tian made a move, one hand instantly holding the Heaven Sword and the other the Heavenly Plume Shield. The dozen or so Corpse Eating Rats stared at him like starving wolves discovering free meat. Luo Tian smiled grimly and said, “Man eats meat, and dogs eat shit. If you want to survive in this world, you have to be stronger and more ruthless than others. A bunch of rats want to eat the meat of this daddy? Then come at me!”
Before those Corpse Eating Rats rushed at him, Luo Tian already charged at them head-on.
When he was still a few meters away from the Corpse Eating Rats, Luo Tian shouted fiercely, ”Fire Qilin, go and destroy them!”
