Chapter 116: The elixir under the underground palace, the Fire Bat King!

Entering the underground palace, the surrounding walls are made of thick bluestone, engraved with ancient and mysterious totems, emitting a faint glow.

Those totems seemed to be alive, moving slightly with the flickering of the faint light.

There was a stale smell in the air, mixed with a hint of spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy is not so strong that it intoxicates people, but it carries a kind of elusive mysterious charm that makes people hard to grasp.

In the corners of the underground palace were piled up some worn-out weapons and armors, some of which were already rusted, while others were covered with cracks.

A broken sword was stuck diagonally into the ground. The gemstone inlaid on the hilt had lost its former luster, and it looked particularly eerie and terrifying in this dark environment.

"My lord, there are more than 4,000 spiritual stones stored here. I will keep them for you!"

The red hedgehog spoke in a flattering tone, his face filled with a fawning smile, but his eyes occasionally glanced at the pile of spirit stones, with a barely perceptible hint of reluctance flashing across his eyes.

He muttered to himself, these things were what he had accumulated with great difficulty, if Jiang Che hadn't come, how could he be willing to give them up.

Those spirit stones emitted a soft light, each one was crystal clear and contained rich energy, which made him very excited.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Che's voice suddenly rang out.

The red hedgehog's heart tightened and cold sweat broke out instantly. His heart was beating rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

"My lord, I dare not have any selfish motives. I only want to present these spirit stones to you."

"Really?" Jiang Che smiled coldly.

Luo Shuiyan stood aside and looked at Jiang Che indifferently without saying a word.

In her previous life, she was an emperor and had seen countless people. She could tell at a glance what this red hedgehog was thinking.

This red hedgehog did not truly join Jiang Che, but was unable to fight against Jiang Che due to Jiang Che's powerful strength.

He said he was leaving these spirit stones to Jiang Che, but in fact, he himself was reluctant to use them.

And now that I have come to his door in person, he has to give it to me even if he doesn't want to.

He did not tell Jiang Che this directly, but wanted to know whether Jiang Che could distinguish who was loyal to him and who was just a gentleman in appearance but a villain in reality.

"Tiger King, what do you mean by this?"

The red hedgehog felt frightened when he saw Jiang Che's eyes.

I have a vague feeling of bad premonition, but I can't explain it.

"Nothing, I just want you to be completely loyal to me from now on." Jiang Che narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed across them.

He knew very well that the red hedgehog was just afraid to resist him because of his powerful strength.

He never knew he would be stabbed in the back at any time, and he didn't want such a person to be his subordinate.

"What do you mean, I..."

Before Hong Ci's stomach could react, he saw Jiang Che's tiger claws gently hit his forehead.

A mysterious light shot out from Jiang Che's hand and sank into the red hedgehog's body.

The red hedgehog only felt a powerful force surging in his body. He knew clearly that from now on, his life and death were completely in Jiang Che's hands.

He was shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Che to have such ability.

But at this time, it was too late to say anything, Jiang Che had completely controlled his life and death.

In this way, even if the Red Hedgehog King has other ideas, it will be useless.

"From now on, you are General Red Hedgehog under my command!" Jiang Che smiled coldly.

After saying that, he took away all the spiritual stones here.

His movements were quick and decisive, without any delay, and the spirit stones instantly disappeared into his storage space. "Yes!" The red hedgehog no longer had any other concerns in his mind.

"My lord, there is actually a treasure under this underground palace!"

The red hedgehog hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak out.

He knew very well that hiding the truth would do him no good, and he had no other choice at the moment.

Now his life and death depend on Jiang Che's decision. The only way to keep himself alive is to please Jiang Che.

The Red Hedgehog's heart was full of contradictions and struggles. On the one hand, he was afraid of Jiang Che's majesty, and on the other hand, he felt extremely reluctant to lose the spirit stone and the treasure that was about to be exposed.

But he understood that any concealment in front of Jiang Che could bring about a catastrophic disaster.

"Oh, tell me about it!" Jiang Che's voice was calm and majestic, making people irresistible.

“My lord, there is a king-level spiritual medicine underneath, but it is not yet mature. At that time, the Pingtian Demon King used a special method to isolate its aura, so it is difficult for outsiders to sense it…”

The red hedgehog spoke cautiously, not daring to look Jiang Che in the eye, for fear of causing Jiang Che's dissatisfaction.

"So that's it!"

Lin Feng suddenly interrupted, a look of realization appearing on his face.

"Boss, I actually had a feeling before, but it was too weak, sometimes it came and sometimes it disappeared. I thought I was wrong, so I didn't tell you."

"It turns out that someone used a special method to isolate his aura."

"It seems that my perception needs to be strengthened."

"Take me to see it!" Jiang Che ordered without hesitation.

"Yes!"

As the Red Hedgehog said this, he took Jiang Che, Luo Shuiyan and Lin Feng into a secret passage.

The secret passage was narrow and dark, with water dripping from the walls and the ground was a little slippery.

The air became increasingly humid and filled with a foul smell.

They kept walking until they reached a thousand meters underground.

The air here is particularly humid, the walls are covered with moss, and you can feel the mud under your feet with every step.

Deep inside, there grows a king-level spiritual medicine, which is surrounded by some strange stones and emits a strange light.

These stones have various shapes, some look like sharp fangs, some look like round gems, and they seem to be able to interfere with the leakage of the aura of the king-level elixir.

This magical medicine is even more powerful than the one next to Luo Shuiyan Cave.

Its leaves are crystal clear, as if carved from jade, and each leaf sparkles with a charming luster. The flowers bloom, the petals are as soft as silk, and exude a charming fragrance.

The fragrance is intoxicating, as if it can make people forget all their worries.

“My lord, the ones who originally knew about this magical medicine were the Pingtian Demon King and his generals, but now, they are all dead. However, there is still one existence that covets this place!”

The red hedgehog's voice was particularly clear in this silent space.

"Deep in the Kunlun Mountains, inside a volcano, there is a flaming bat."

"The Flame Bat is very powerful. It fought with the Pingtian Demon King and ended up in a draw. Perhaps it knew that the spiritual medicine is not yet mature. When the spiritual medicine matures, it will surely make a comeback!"

"This thing belongs to me now. If that little bat dares to come here, it will be dead!"

Jiang Che didn't care at all. With his current strength, he was indeed qualified to look down on others.
