Chapter 83 - Silver Ape Cave (1/2)

After returning to their home, Yu Rou and Yuan quickly dived into the world of cultivation known as Cultivation Online.

”Welcome back, Brother Yuan,” Xiao Hua said to him after sensing that his presence had returned to the world.

”Hello, Xiao Hua.” Yuan greeted her.

”What are we going to do today? Do you still want to continue practicing Wind Blade?” Yuan asked Yu Rou afterward.

”Yes, but I don't want to slow down your progress with my boring training,” she sighed.

”What are you saying? It's called training for a reason. If you don't train, you won't get better,” Yuan said to her. ”Although it might be time-consuming, you'll have to do it eventually.”

”I guess so…” Yu Rou nodded.

And since they last logged off while they were still in the wilderness, they didn't need to do any traveling and were able to continue hunting monsters instantly.

A few hours later…

”Congratulations, Yu Rou. You can finally slay the monsters without making a mess,” Yuan said to her as he looked at the cleanly separated monster corpse with a smile on his face.

”Yes! And my mastery level for it increased by 1!” Yu Rou said with an excited expression on her face.

”And now that I am pretty confident in my own control of the skill, we can do something harder! Of course, it probably won't be a challenge for you no matter what we do at my level, though...”

”Something more difficult, huh? What do you have in mind?” Yuan asked her.

”A dungeon!” she quickly said. ”There are multiple strong monsters in dungeons, and if we can find one that has never been discovered before, there's a high chance we might obtain valuable treasures!”

”A dungeon? Where do we find those?” Yuan asked her.

”Well, there are many known dungeons around this place, but they have already been searched by the other players so we won't find any treasures inside.” Yu Rou said.

”Hmmm… What do you think, Xiao Hua? Do you know of any dungeons around here? Something like the Demonic Spider's Silent Cave.” Yuan decided to ask her, who seemingly knew everything.

”Demonic Spider's Silent Cave… Do you mean Beast Nests? It's where wild beasts gather and make their home, and there are usually treasures inside because beasts instinctively pick up anything that has Qi.” Xiao Hua asked him.

”Yes! That's exactly it! Do you know where we can find one?” Yu Rou asked her.

”Xiao Hua should be able to find some with her Divine Sense…”

Xiao Hua then closed her eyes, and a profound feeling expanded from her small body a moment later, sweeping many miles in an instant.

'Wow… What a powerful Divine Sense. I wonder how it feels to see so many things and so far at once… It's probably like having eyes in the sky.' Yuan watched with slight envy, wondering how long it'll take before he can start doing the same thing.

'If I can also Divine Sense in the real world, that would be great, too.' Yuan sighed inwardly.

About a minute later, Xiao Hua opened her eyes again and said, ”There is a Beast Nest a few kilometers from here, and there are about 30 beasts inside between the second level and sixth level Spirit Apprentice realm.”

”Sixth level Spirit Apprentice… Do you think you can handle those, brother? I will take care of the ones below the fourth level.” Yu Rou asked him.

”Of course,” Yuan nodded.

”As for Xiao Hua… You can just stay behind us until we need you since it won't be challenging at all if someone as overpowered as you also fought the monsters alongside us.” Yu Rou said to her.

”Well, although brother is also quite overpowered, at least he can't snap the monsters out of existence with his cultivation base…” Yu Rou then added.

”Okay,” Xiao Hua nodded. She wouldn't do anything unless Yuan asked her to either way.

”Then let's go to this Beast Nest!”

Xiao Hua then led them to the location.

Many minutes later, once they reached the area, a notification popped up for both Yuan and Yu Rou.

”Silver Ape Cave… I don't recall seeing this name on the forums so we should be the first ones to have discovered this dungeon,” Yu Rou said.

”That's good. Then let's clear this place up real quick—”

However, before Yuan could even take a step towards the dark cave, Yu Rou grabbed his arm and said, ”Wait a second, brother! Have you forgotten? If we clear this dungeon together, our names will be announced to the entire world!”

”Oh, right… That would be disastrous for us. I don't want you getting caught up in my mess, after all.” Yuan nodded.

If people see that Player Yuan has a teammate, the other players would also begin looking out for Yu Rou to find him, something he did not wish to see.
