Black Wukong: I'm the Great Sage in Another World

Chapter 229 Ten Thousand Caves Cliff

"Okay, that's fine."

A faint voice came from behind, and the group of people stopped.

The speaker was a masked woman in black robes, a female magician hired by Lin Tian to search for psionic minerals.

"The Ten Thousand Caves Cliff is just ahead. The terrain there is complicated, and these horse-like beasts will have difficulty moving around. Going in will only cause more trouble."

Lin Tian nodded upon hearing this, then dismounted, and the men following behind him did the same.

"You guys stay here and look after the horses. I'll go in and check the location and then come out."

After giving a few instructions to the little demons who were with him, Lin Tian led the others into the Ten Thousand Caves Cliff.

Located deep within the Land of Death, Wanku Cliff is composed of several towering cliffs, each containing numerous caves, hence its name.

So......

Where to begin?

Lin Tian was traveling with five people. Besides him, three others were on his side. The only one who wasn't on his side was the masked magician.

Seeing that the employer had asked him, the magician took out a drawing from under his black robe and began to explain slowly:

"Although I didn't explore it in depth last time, I still made a note of the cliff faces that were most likely to be found. As long as we check them in order, we will eventually find them."

"But there are so many caves in the cliff face. If we eliminate them one by one, how long will it take?"

When Lin Tian asked her question, the woman in black reached up to her face, trying to push up her glasses, but she only realized she was wearing a mask when her hand touched it.

“Of course I’ve thought of what you’re saying. I also looked up information about this place before I came. From what I understand, each cliff face has its own main cave, which can basically lead to any cave on the entire cliff face. Once I find this main cave, I can use my skills to investigate whether there are any psionic minerals in this place.”

"All you need to do is assist me and protect my safety."

Lin Tian nodded. Professional matters should naturally be handled by professionals. He didn't have the skills to explore psionic mines, so it would definitely be more convenient to leave it to this guy.

"I will protect you."

Hearing Lin Tian's promise, the black-robed mage was still uneasy, because she had also noticed something strange about the matter.

Wanku Cliff is no small place. If there were really a psionic mine, someone should have already gotten there first. But why can I still sense the aura of a psionic mine here, and why are there no official personnel here to mine it?

She vaguely sensed a conspiracy, but she didn't say anything. She believed Lin Tian wasn't stupid and must have known as well. As for why he still came, it was simply driven by self-interest; she had seen too many people like that.

She felt the same way. After all, if Lin Tian hadn't offered such a high price, why would she have risked her life to accompany him on this journey?

So she secretly decided that if she really encountered danger and Lin Tian and the others couldn't protect her, she would definitely be the first to run away.

Without further ado, after finalizing the plan, the group set off for their destination.

................

boom!

A thick arm, carrying a dark shadow, slammed into the wall with a loud crack, instantly reducing the stone monster to dust.

Adeline was shocked. Even though she had seen many similar operations along the way, she still couldn't hide her surprise.

It should be noted that the stone monsters that live on Wanshi Cliff are quite powerful. Any adult one picked out would be at the peak of the Bronze level.

Among them are also silver-level ones, such as the one in front of us, which has clearly entered the silver realm, although it may have only recently entered the silver rank and is only one or two stars.

But he was also a genuine Silver-rank cultivator, and the fact that he shattered him with a single punch showed just how terrifying his power was.

Adeline is a student at the Arcane Academy, and she considers herself a minor genius. But even she can't do this level of magic unless she uses extremely high-level destructive magic. However, such magic often consumes a lot of energy, so using it to fight stone monsters is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Adeline found it even more unbelievable that the guy wearing the stone mask seemed completely unharmed after throwing that punch.

Gold level?

No, my detection magic shouldn't be wrong. This guy hasn't reached the Gold rank yet.

How could he unleash such a terrifying punch?

Adeline was completely baffled and could only attribute it to talent, after all, there were indeed many geniuses in the world, and she had seen them before.

"is it here?"

Lin Tian also walked over at this moment. He looked around and found that this place was indeed much larger than other grottoes, and it was interconnected with many holes of different sizes.

"Yes, that's right."

Adeline nodded. This was the main cave in the cliff face. Now that she had arrived, she needed to begin preparing for the exploration.

Then she took out many things from her magic ring, big and small, which dazzled Lin Tiansheng.

Adeline's spirit-searching technique was clearly more complicated than Veera's, as could be seen from the tools she prepared. This was to be expected, given the different levels of difficulty in their explorations. Adeline's location was obstructed by forces, making her exploration more troublesome, while Veera's location was free from external interference, making it much easier.

Lin Tian didn't go up to help. He didn't understand these things; it was clearly a technical task, and there was no point in him helping. He should just stay where he was and keep watch for danger.

Besides Adeline, Lin Tian brought three other people with him. Two of them, like Lin Tian, ​​stood guard in various positions. Only the woman, seeing that Adeline seemed a bit overwhelmed, hesitated for a moment before moving closer.

"Do you need my help?"

A gentle voice came from above, and Adeline looked up to see a beautiful young woman with exceptional looks.

Logically speaking, one should be wary of strangers when traveling, but for some reason, Adeline felt a sense of closeness the moment she saw this beautiful young woman.

This feeling is like encountering...

Mother?

Adeline blushed, perhaps realizing her thoughts were rather strange. She immediately shook her head and said:

"No need, this magic array is too complicated. You don't know how to set it up. I can do it myself."

Seeing that Adeline refused, the beautiful young woman did not insist on helping her, but simply sat quietly on a rock nearby, watching Adeline.

Although she didn't disturb him, Adeline couldn't bear the gentle gaze. In a daze, she even had an impulse to turn around and rush into the arms of the beautiful young woman.

No! I mustn't be tempted by beauty!

Adeline was, after all, a student of the Arcane Academy, so she had some self-control and quickly got back to work.

Of course, I wasn't as focused as before, after all, who can resist that tender and loving gaze?

With this in mind, Adeline's movements became noticeably more efficient.
