Chapter 1013: Chapter 1012: Ghost Bat (3 updates)

After Ye Haochuan and An Li shared an intimate moment in the hotel, they set off together to the location of the secret treasury.

In the suburbs of the Imperial Capital, the mountains stretched on. Riding his sword, Ye Haochuan passed through several mountains before stopping at the foot of a low peak.

An Li pointed at the mountain in front and said, ”The general location of the Ancient Secret Treasure is among these peaks, but we really can’t find the exact entrance.”

”No problem, leave it to me next!”

Ye Haochuan immediately activated his Perspective Eyes, scanning the peaks with his gaze.

If there really was a secret treasury within the mountains, then the mountain’s body would be hollow. Finding the entrance by following the clues shouldn’t be too difficult.

Ye Haochuan checked very carefully, inspecting back and forth several times, and couldn’t help but frown and ask, ”An Li, are you sure it’s here?”

Ye Haochuan discovered that the few peaks before him were all solid rock, making it impossible for any so-called secret treasury to exist.

”It’s indeed here!”

An Li pulled out a map, marked all over with circles and dots. The most evident mark was the location where Ye Haochuan and An Li currently stood.

”According to the map markings, it’s here among these peaks!” An Li was also puzzled, clearly indicating here, but why couldn’t they find it.

Ye Haochuan looked at the map, then activated his Perspective Eyes again. After a short while, his eyes lit up with surprise!

”Found it!” Ye Haochuan exclaimed.

An Li was delighted, asking, ”Which mountain?”

Ye Haochuan smiled, ”The map is a two-dimensional map. The marked position might not necessarily be on top of the mountain, it could also be underground!”

”Underground?” An Li exclaimed in surprise, ”You mean the treasury is underground?”

Ye Haochuan nodded, ”Several hundred meters beneath the third peak on the right, there’s a huge space. That must be where the treasury is.”

”Where’s the entrance?”

”Still searching!”

Ye Haochuan explored for a while, then, pulling An Li along, said, ”Follow me!”

The entrance was located behind the third peak on the right. After going around, they found that the entrance had long been sealed.

To find the entrance, they must dig into the mountain!

Perhaps due to years of accumulation, or maybe due to natural disasters like earthquakes and mudslides, the entrance had been covered by mountain rocks.

Fortunately, the mountain cover was not extensive. For a Foundation Establishment expert like Ye Haochuan, the workload wasn’t large.

He immediately wielded the Divine Concealment Sword. With every slash, countless boulders flew out, subsequently shattered into powder.

After an hour, Ye Haochuan cut horizontally through a section of the mountain body, finally uncovering the entrance of the treasury.

The entrance was a deep well, two meters in diameter, pitch black below, exuding an eerie darkness. Ye Haochuan estimated the well to be three hundred meters deep.

Relying on crystal stones to illuminate the space, the two leapt down.

The inner walls of the well were covered in moss, having aged over the years, emitting an unpleasant odor inside.

Upon reaching the bottom, they stood on foul-smelling soft mud. Ahead was a vast corridor, wide enough for over ten people to walk side by side without feeling crowded.

Even holding a crystal stone, An Li could only see two or three meters ahead. Each step forward was taken with utmost caution.

Ye Haochuan activated his Perspective Eyes, but there seemed to be some suppression here. He could see some unknown creatures underground, but couldn’t discern them clearly, nor could he predict their exact locations.

”Stick close to me.” Ye Haochuan spoke solemnly; after all, this was an Ancient Secret Treasury, and nobody knew what dangers lurked within.

Currently, An Li was only a Postnatal Realm cultivator, the lowest level among cultivators. Naturally, she felt timid, but with Ye Haochuan by her side, she felt much more secure.

”What was that?” Suddenly, Ye Haochuan was startled. A flapping sound approached from ahead, and suddenly, a humanoid creature rushed toward them from the corridor.

”Ah!” An Li screamed, visibly startled, clutching tightly to Ye Haochuan’s clothes, her heart racing.

As the humanoid creature drew nearer, Ye Haochuan could finally see it clearly. It stood two meters tall, its wingspan reached four meters, bore fangs, and its eyes glowed with a sinister green light, pouncing fiercely at Ye Haochuan.

Its claws were as sharp as cold blades, directly targeting Ye Haochuan, emitting a blood-curdling shriek from its mouth.

Ye Haochuan countered with his sword, and with a clang, the creature’s claws collided with the Divine Concealment Sword, producing a metallic sound, sending sparks flying everywhere.

”Encountering such a monster right after entering indicates this won’t be a smooth journey!” Ye Haochuan sighed. He wasn’t afraid of the humanoid creature, knowing from that previous strike that it wasn’t too difficult to handle.

”Swish!”

The humanoid creature’s initial attack failed and, spreading its wings, soared upward again, gathering strength to spit out a gust of foul air at Ye Haochuan.

Instantly, Ye Haochuan concentrated his spiritual energy to form a protective shield, simultaneously raising his sword to strike.

”Crack!”

A flash of lightning suddenly illuminated the space, though fleeting, it contained an immensely formidable power.

”Slash!”

The humanoid creature was pierced right through its body, blood splattering as it let out a wretched scream. It then tried to escape by spreading its wings.

Ye Haochuan, implementing Mystifying Steps, pursued it relentlessly. He wouldn’t give it a chance. The Divine Concealment Sword hummed, sending a beam of sword light flying through the air, piercing the humanoid creature’s head.

Ye Haochuan approached, pushing back its wings for a closer inspection. ’The surface of this humanoid creature was covered in black fur, resembling a massive bat.’

”This is... a Ghost Bat!”

Thoughts swirling, Ye Haochuan finally recognized what it was.

Legend says that bats, after absorbing substantial Yin energy and feeding on decaying corpses, eventually transform into Ghost Bats.

”Looks like things are a bit troublesome.” Ye Haochuan said pensively.

Disturbed, An Li asked, ”What’s troubling? Didn’t we just kill it?”

Ye Haochuan replied, ”Ghost Bats are social creatures. There’s definitely more than one here. Though not particularly strong, their numbers are considerable, making them a significant hassle.”

”Then what should we do?”

”What else can we do? We can’t just leave empty-handed after coming all this way.” Ye Haochuan stood, gazing into the corridor ahead, speaking in a low voice, ”As long as there’re only Ghost Bats here, it’s manageable. Let’s hope nothing too challenging appears.”

Given that the Perspective Eyes couldn’t clearly see this secret treasury, Ye Haochuan dared not take any chances.

Holding An Li’s hand, they continued forward. As expected, waves of Ghost Bats appeared, sometimes in groups of three or five, other times in tens.

With the Divine Concealment Sword in hand, Ye Haochuan naturally felt no fear. Combined with the White Spirit Moxa Flame, they effectively dealt with the Ghost Bats.

The duo, progressing steadily, pushed forward for two or three miles, slaying nearly a hundred Ghost Bats, finally passing through that area with no further interference from the bats.

”Woo-woo~”

Traveling another few hundred meters, they suddenly heard an eerie whimpering ahead, sounding like both crying and wailing.

An Li, palms sweaty, asked nervously, ”Up ahead, could there be ghosts?”
