The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 711 - 708: The Strange Stone Gate

Wu Xuan was leading the way, with Xin Lin following behind, and Wu Yuan bringing up the rear.

As they neared the cave entrance, Gui Hu gave a warning.

"The coldness of this Shui Yin chills to the bone, and the Evil Qi is heavy; many people must have died in this lake. Be cautious when entering the cave."

This was the second time Gui Hu had issued a warning since entering the mountain.

Xin Lin heightened her vigilance.

Just as the trio was about to approach, multiple cold arrows shot out from the entrance with a whooshing sound.

Wu Xuan’s eyes hardened, and with a swing of his left arm, he pushed Xin Lin behind him several meters away.

Then, with a sweep of his right arm, a surge of energy arose from the icy water bottom.

The energy wave transformed into a ferocious gray wolf, which leapt up and snapped its fangs, flashing with a cold light, and caught several cold arrows bursting toward them.

With the sound of clamping teeth, the arrows instantly broke apart.

The heads of the cold arrows were tinged with a deep greenish-black color, evidently coated with deadly poison.

The Gray Wolf King jumped into the cave entrance, and Wu Xuan, like a fish, swiftly glided into the entrance.

Wu Yuan grabbed Xin Lin’s hand and, with a push of his feet, also jumped into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, the damp feeling instantly disappeared. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Xin Lin then realized that the Dragon Cave was dry inside and there was no standing water.

Looking around, there was a warm blue pearl shining near the entrance.

"That’s a Water-Repelling Pearl."

Wu Xuan said from behind.

"Who the hell set such a sinister trap at the entrance?"

Wu Yuan patted the head of the Gray Wolf King.

The Gray Wolf King seemed to be quite familiar with Wu Yuan, rubbing against his hand before dissipating into nothingness.

Xin Lin’s face showed curiosity.

"That was a Martial Soul, formed by condensing True Qi. You don’t understand now, but you will once you break through to the Xuan Transformation Realm. However, with your summoning ability, as long as it hatches one day, your potential is limitless. You don’t need to worry about the Martial Soul."

Wu Xuan smiled.

Xin Lin was slightly startled.

She realized that what she knew about the Xuanwu Practitioners was only the tip of the iceberg.

She had always thought that Wu Xuan and Wu Yuan were at the Xuan Transformation Realm in their cultivation, but now it seemed that their cultivation had surpassed the Xuan Transformation Realm.

Being at the Xuan Transformation Realm in Longteng Country already made one a master.

Surpassing the Xuan Transformation Realm, their strength was...

It became clear that the two of them had deliberately concealed their true power earlier.

For the first time, Xin Lin took an interest in the world outside of Longteng.

Wu Xuan picked up the poison arrow dropped by the Gray Wolf King, staring at the pattern on it thoughtfully.

"There are indeed a few unlucky ones that got hit."

Wu Yuan found several corpses near the cave entrance.

Continuing further inside, they encountered more bodies.

The number of corpses was increasing, and after about half a quarter hour, they came upon a Stone Gate in the cave. The gate was tightly shut; Wu Xuan pushed on it, but it didn’t budge.

"The Dragon Ancient Tomb is deep inside the cave. We sought you out because we want your help to open this Stone Gate. We’ve tried before; it requires a Spirit Master to use Spiritual Power to open it. However, we are not sure what lies beyond the gate, so there could be danger. If you’re regretting this, it’s still not too late to back out."

Wu Xuan explained patiently.

He and Wu Yuan were among the first to discover the Dragon Ancient Tomb, but they couldn’t open this Stone Gate due to the lack of a Spirit Master, so they had to retreat halfway and lost the initiative.

However, judging from the inside of the cave, the Dragon Vein was likely still undiscovered.

Those major forces that entered before them should still be inside the cave; the mechanisms outside the cave were the best proof of this.

"I’ll give it a try."

Xin Lin looked at the Stone Gate.
