BTTH: Thunder Emperor

BTTH-Chapter 18: Check-in Cave

Xiao Yixian thought about it and finally put it away.

"You made a very wise decision," Xiao Tian turned his head and smiled meaningfully.

"Let's go; let's go down and take a look now."

"We? You still want to take me down? Are you using me as cannon fodder?"

"It's safe down there, and we don't need cannon fodder. Considering your kindness to me in the town before, I'll reluctantly give you some treasure."

"You're a pretty nice person."

Xiao Tian instantly displayed the Wings of Thunder Peng, and a pair of gorgeous dark blue wings appeared behind him.

"Dou... Dou... Dou Qi turns into wings? Are you the Dou Wang?" Seeing the Wings of Thunder Peng behind Xiao Tian, the Little Medical Fairy's eyes widened instantly, and she stuttered when she spoke.

"No. Do you want to fly down with me or climb down slowly by yourself with a rope?" Xiao Tian responded casually, looking at Xiao Yixian and asking.

Xiao Yixian thought for a moment and said, "I'll go down with you."

"Then come here. Remember to hold on tight; I won't care if you fall..."

Before Xiao Tian could finish his words, a soft and fragrant body crashed into his arms. Looking at the beauty in his embrace, he stretched out his arms to hold her slender waist, which made one salivate.

"What are you doing? Why don't you leave? I'm going down with you because I'm afraid you'll go down first and take all the good stuff..."

Just as Xiao Tian was carefully feeling her slender waist, the shy and somewhat unconfident voice of the Little Medical Fairy sounded in his ears.

Xiao Tian came to his senses and jumped off the cliff, falling directly down. The Little Medical Fairy in his arms felt the rapid descent and closed her eyes tightly, hugging Xiao Tian. The wings behind him trembled slightly, and after controlling their balance, he flew directly to the middle of the cliff.

When he reached the middle of the cliff, Xiao Tian saw a cave. Just as he approached the entrance, a snake shadow suddenly jumped out. A long spear appeared in Xiao Tian's hand, and he chopped the snake into two pieces, which fell off the cliff.

After landing steadily in the cave, he looked at the unmoving Xiao Yixian in his arms and joked, "We're already here; how long do you want to hold me? Although my arms are very warm and you don't want to leave, I can't let you have them forever."

"Ah~ I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Yixian blushed and quickly left Xiao Tian's arms. "What was it that attacked us just now? I was scared to death."

"It's just a rock snake. Let's go in and take a look." Xiao Tian shrugged and took out a fist-sized moonstone, illuminating the entire space.

After walking for about ten minutes, he looked at the pale yellow stone door in front of him and said, "There is a protruding stone under the stone door. Press it, and it will open."

After hearing this, Xiao Yixian looked at Xiao Tian in confusion, then followed his instructions to find the protruding stone. She pressed it directly, and the door slowly moved up before opening.

"How do you know?"

"I told you I know a lot, but you don't believe me. I can also read palms. Do you want to see?"

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't. You just want to take advantage of me by reading my palms."

Xiao Tian didn't answer and walked past Xiao Yixian into the stone chamber. "Just think about it there; I'll go in and take a look first."

Xiao Yixian saw that Xiao Tian had already gone in, so she hurriedly followed him.

As soon as they entered, the stone chamber was not big, and everything was visible at a glance: three piles of gold coins, a flower bed, a box on the bluestone platform, and dry bones on the seat.

"I don't need the gold coins; please keep them all." Xiao Tian said and walked towards the flower bed.

"Xuantian grass, purple heart vine, wood spirit flower... these can be used to refine a Xuanling pill."

"I don't want this Binglingyan grass, but I want to take two-thirds of the herbs from the flower bed." Xiao Tian said to the Little Medical Fairy, who came over after collecting the gold coins.

Without waiting for the Little Medical Fairy to respond, Xiao Tian took out a small jade shovel, dug out half of the herbs, and placed them directly into the system space. The time in the system space is permanently stagnant, and the herbs will not lose their efficacy.

"Aren't you afraid that the medicinal effect will be lost if you don't put it in a jade bottle?" she asked, looking at Xiao Tian puzzledly.

"No, I have my own way."

Seeing that Xiao Tian didn't say anything further, she didn't ask more questions and took out her shovel to collect her share.

While the Little Medical Fairy was digging herbs, Xiao Tian seized the opportunity.

"System, check-in."

---

[Ding, check-in successfully at the treasure cave in the Warcraft Mountain Range. Obtained the Three Styles of Heavenly Thunder Halberd Technique and the Poison Sutra.]

---

The Three Styles of Heavenly Thunder Halberd Technique is a dou skill used with the Heavenly Thunder Halberd, which is divided into: Cutting the Moon, Cutting the Sky, and Judging the Heavenly Punishment.

"Cutting the Moon" is a charged attack that creates a half-moon-shaped strike with built-in tracking.

"Cuttng the Sky" involves swinging the long halberd in a circular motion around oneself.

"Judgment of Heavenly Punishment" transforms the halberd in hand into a sky magic circle to lock the enemy, causing a giant Heavenly Thunder Halberd to appear in the magic circle that cannot be avoided.

"This is simply a magical skill! Two skills that cannot be dodged and a group AoE attack; it's simply 999, six times better!"

The Poison Sutra is a poison master's skill, which summarizes many poison configuration methods as well as poison pills and various poison body training skills in a three-in-one format.

Xiao Tian closed the system page and came to the withered bones. He bowed briefly, picked up the withered bones' arm, and looked at the parchment scroll that was slightly exposed, pulling it out and holding it in his hand. He opened the parchment scroll and found a lotus mark on it.

After digging up herbs, Xiao Yixian came to Xiao Tian. "What are you looking at?"

"My goal for coming here this time."

"I see. Then this parchment belongs to you. Is your parchment a map? May I ask what this is? Of course, if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to."

"There's nothing I can't tell you. It's just a fragment of a map that records the location of the heavenly flame."

Xiao Yixian saw that Xiao Tian was willing to share such a secret with her, which obviously showed that he trusted her very much. She couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and her eyes looking at Xiao Tian were full of tenderness.

"Heavenly Flame? This thing is very dangerous. I heard that even Dou Huang strongmen will be burned to death if they touch it. It's too dangerous for you to seek this."

"Are you worried about me?"

"How could I care about you? You are wrong. Who would care about a big bad guy like you?" Xiao Yixian blushed.

"Okay, I'm going to get ready to open the box." Xiao Tian raised the black key he took from skeleton's hand.

Xiao Tian tried the keys one by one and successfully opened the first box. Inside was a colorful and simple scroll. He took the scroll in his hand, thinking about the system's reward, and looked at Xiao Yixian meaningfully. "I'll give you this Seven-Colored Poison Scripture; I don't want it."

"Poison Scripture?" Xiao Yixian asked in confusion as she opened it and took a look. "It turns out to be a poison scripture that records how to prepare poisons. Could it be that the owner of the cave is also a doctor?"

"Maybe it's possible," Xiao Tian said casually and continued to use the key to open the second box.

"Click."

The second box opened with a sound, revealing a black scroll inside. He picked it up and opened it: Xuan-level advanced flying dou skill: Eagle Wings.

"This is a flying dou skill. Do you want it?"

"What is a flying dou skill?" Xiao Yixian asked in confusion.

"It's a dou skill that allows you to experience the thrill of flying even if you haven't reached the Dou Wang rank. This dou skill is derived from the wings of a fifth-level monster. There is a remnant of its soul inside, which will attack your soul when practicing."

"Is it dangerous to practice this? Then I don't want to try it. You should keep it; I may die if I practice this dou skill with my strength."
