Chapter 1: Crossing Over into the System
"Hmph, master is so mean." Lulu's face slightly pouted in dissatisfaction, knowing she had been deceived.
Huang Yu heard this and secretly smiled in his heart, saying: "Lulu, my Lulu is the best, the most powerful. If it weren't for Lulu's help, I would have definitely lost my life here. I think Lulu wouldn't want me to die here either, right?"
"Alright, considering the master's sincerity, as long as there are a hundred beautiful clothes, LuLu won't hold it against him."
Huang Yu heard this and couldn't help but laugh and cry: "One hundred pieces is just one hundred pieces, don't mention one hundred pieces, even if it's a thousand beautiful clothes, I'm willing to do it, as long as Lu Lu is willing to help."
"What the master said, a thousand times!" Lulu heard this and smiled with her eyes open.
“……”
"Lulu, what's next?" After walking for a while, they came to a fork in the road. Along the way, there were many dry bones, which made Huang Yu's scalp feel numb. If it weren't for the all-powerful cultivation system and Lulu, Huang Yu would have given up long ago. After all, this short distance of just over ten feet had so many dry bones, it was chilling.
"Entrance on the right."
Huang Yu listened to Lu Lu's words and didn't ask much because he knew that asking would be superfluous.
"There is a Ground Cat Beast here, Master should be careful. Although the Ground Cat Beast is not a Phantom Beast, its strength is even more formidable than that of an ordinary Phantom Beast. However, the Ground Cat Beast has a weakness, which is that it fears light. The torch in Master's hand must not be extinguished, or else it will be troublesome." Ruru reminded cautiously.
"I know."
In the cave, the wind grew stronger and stronger. The torch was carefully protected by Huang Yu. The torch that was about to go out was even more carefully guarded after Luolu reminded him.
The ground cat beast is comparable to the mysterious beast, and if you encounter it, it's definitely not a good thing.
The howling wind by his ear seemed to be intentionally testing Huang Yu.
The flickering light of the torch in hand casts eerie shadows on the wall, making one's heart quiver.
"Hiss——"
"Not good, master be careful, it's a blind snake." As soon as Rourou's voice fell, Huang Yu felt that his right foot was bitten by something, and suddenly began to numb, blood started to coagulate.
"Damn it." Huang Yu angrily gathered his true energy and shot out a flying knife.
With a "ding", the flying knife shot out and sparked on the wall.
"Hiss..."
That blind snake seemed to be more than one, Huang Yu felt a little dizzy.
"Master, quickly take the healing pill." Lulu's tone was anxious and urgent.
Huang Yu heard this and hastily took out the wound-healing pellet, tossing it into his mouth. As soon as the medicine entered his body, it transformed into a surging warm current that flowed through his entire being.
Mom's feeling was instantly driven away.
Ambushed, enraged, Huang Yu was thoroughly infuriated. When had he ever encountered such a humiliating situation? A few crawling worms actually dared to tease him.
Flying knives show no mercy, shooting out in all directions.
One by one, blind snakes were nailed to the ground.
"Don't bother with these blind snakes, let's go quickly and light the torches, or we'll be in trouble." Because of the blind snakes, at this moment, the torches in their hands had already gone out.
"Meow——"
Huang Yu's heart skipped a beat, something was terribly wrong, this is... Di Mao Shou.
Torches, yes, torches, hurry up and light the torches.
Before he could even light the torch, Huang Yu felt a shadowy figure pouncing towards him.
"Right." Lulu's voice echoed in her mind, "Dash to the right."
Huang Yu heard this and instantly moved, barely flashing over a grab, with sparks flying out from the strong grab, a huge scratch mark was clearly visible under the sparks.
"Hiss——"
Huang Yu couldn't help but break out in cold sweat; if he was caught, he would either be killed or severely injured.
In front of me in the morning, an animal about the size of a hunting dog, resembling a large cat, stood not far away, with a pair of eyes shining like stars, exceptionally bright.
"Master, hurry up and light the torch." Lulu's voice brought Huang Yu back to his senses. At this time, Huang Yu regretted not bringing a lighter with him initially.
"Crack." The flint struck, sparks flew, but failed to ignite the torch.
"Meow——"
At this time, that wild cat beast launched another attack, pouncing towards Huang Yu, its long sharp claws flashing with a cold light.
"Knife Throwing."
Huang Yu didn't have time to think much, he mobilized all the true energy in his body and suddenly threw out the fruit knife in his hand, aiming at the pair of eyes of the earth cat beast that were as bright as stars.
"Ding." With a clear view, Huang Yu saw that his fruit knife had struck the paw of the ground cat beast, causing its body to pause for a moment, but it did not stop.
Although it's not a Xuan beast, the Di Mao beast, which is comparable to a Xuan beast in strength, is indeed formidable. Huang Yu secretly exclaimed "not good" and swiftly dodged to one side with a burst of wind under his feet.
"Rip." With a sound, the cat beast's claws fiercely grasped onto Huang Yu's shoulder. Huang Yu only felt an overbearing force suddenly surge forth, and his entire body was instantly sent flying, heavily crashing into the wall.
"Bang..."
That wall had been made into a hole by Huang Yu.
A streak of white moonlight spilled out.
"Meow——"
The wild cat saw the moonlight and let out a startled cry before disappearing without a trace.
"Hmmph..."
Huang Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, rubbed the grabbed area, and couldn't help but bitterly smile in his heart. If it wasn't for the coincidence that he had crashed through this wall, revealing the moonlight, he would have probably ended up here. Lucky, really lucky.
That earth cat beast's claw, the power is terrifying, its weak and small body, can actually burst out such a terrifying power, indeed worthy of being able to contend with the mysterious beast, if it weren't for the black flame armor on my body, this one claw would be enough to seriously injure me.
However, what puzzled Huang Yu was that the walls here were not all hard and unyielding black rocks? How could this place make a big hole just by hitting himself once? Moreover, how could there be moonlight here? With doubts, Huang Yu slowly got up.
She raised her eyes and saw that the moonlight was shining in through a skylight.
The skylight above was not empty, but a transparent crystal like glass, the moonlight penetrated the crystal and shot into this stone room.
Along the moonlight, looking ahead.
The situation in this stone room fell into Huang Yu's eyes.
The stone room is not very big, about ten square meters or so.
The furnishings inside are also very simple, with a stone table in front, a tatami mat, and a skeleton on the mat.
On both sides of the stone pedestal were two ancient oil lamps, with flames constantly jumping and emitting a faint glow.
Huang Yu noticed that there was nothing on the withered skeleton, and on the stone platform, except for the two oil lamps, it was also empty. Only on the right index finger of the withered skeleton, there was a purple gold ring.
Who is this person? How did he end up dead in this dark cave?
Huang Yu's mind was full of question marks, but it could be guessed that the kindness that brought him to this black rock cave was definitely not so simple. Moreover, the fact that this stone room was so intact could also prove this point.
This person is a martial artist and should be a very powerful cultivator, with a cultivation level of at least Yuan Dan realm. From his bones, there is still a faint aura of pressure, this person's cultivation should not be limited to the Yuan Dan realm.
How could such a powerful person leave nothing behind? Only this one ring?
Suddenly, Huang Yu thought of a possibility, that is, this purple-gold ring was not an ordinary ring, but a legendary storage ring.
Surprised, Huang Yu hurriedly walked forward, somewhat impatient.
"Don't mess around." Lulu's voice sounded again beside her ear.
"What's wrong? Rourou, is there a problem?" Huang Yu stopped in his tracks upon hearing this, not daring to proceed further. He knew that Rourou wouldn't stop him for no reason, so since she had called out to him, there must be a cause.
"Master, kneel down and knock three times on that corpse." Lulu said without explanation.
"Why?" Huang Yu was somewhat reluctant to kneel down in front of the grave of an unknown person, after having already kowtowed to his parents.
"Master, if you want that ring, then listen to Ruru."
"Is that a storage ring?"
"Yes, master, that's the storage ring. And Lulu can tell you that this corpse is not a simple person. Master wants to get the storage ring from his hand, must kowtow three times, otherwise there is no way to get this storage ring." Lulu explained.
As for Rourou's words, Huang Yu believed them unconditionally. If it weren't for Rourou, he would have died several times already.
Although he was a bit unhappy, Huang Yu still knelt down and knocked his head three times with a loud thud.
After knocking his head, Huang Yu hadn't gotten up yet when he saw a wisp of green smoke rising from the corpse, and a figure condensed above it. A strong sense of oppression washed over Huang Yu, making him almost unable to breathe. It was just an illusion, but it was so terrifying that Huang Yu's heart was filled with horror.
I was shocked in my heart, if I hadn't listened to Lu Lu's words before, I'm afraid I would have become a corpse by now.
"Y...y...who are you?" Huang Yu asked, looking at the figure in front of him after the oppressive aura dissipated.
"Who am I? For many years, I have already forgotten my own name. Once, they all called me Hei Yan Zi." The figure sighed faintly and said.
"Kuroiwa Ko?" Huang Yu rubbed his own head, not to mention that he wasn't a person from this world, even if he was from this world, it's unlikely that he would know who he is. However, this person claims to be Kuroiwa Ko, so what does this Kuroiwa Cave have to do with him?
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, not bad, you're quite good. Since you've already kowtowed, I won't say anything else. My time is limited, listen carefully. The ring on my hand is the Purple Light Ring, all of my life's savings are inside it. However, your cultivation is too weak and can only open a small part of it. When your cultivation becomes stronger, you'll be able to obtain what's inside. One more thing, remember that this Purple Light Ring and the Black Edge Sword inside it, unless absolutely necessary, do not reveal them until you have sufficient cultivation." After finishing speaking, the figure vanished into nothingness.
