The fairy clan’s chief’s attitude was very good. As soon as he came up, he immediately asked one of his younger clansmen who seemed more reliable to lead ye chen and the others to this place.

This was a forbidden area that the entire race had a tacit understanding of.

However, this time, ye chen had done so much for them in return, so naturally, they could not be stingy.

The young man led them around the forest for an hour before stopping in front of a low fence.

“I can’t go any further in, but the place the elder said is inside. Remember, it’s best not to touch any of the branches here, because they are poisonous.”

“Of course, some of the branches are facing inwards, so there’s no danger. But we have to avoid those with branches facing outwards. If we encounter any strange creatures inside, we don’t have to worry about them.”

“As long as you don’t provoke those things, they won’t attack you. Of course, other than the thing that the elder mentioned, it’s best not to touch anything and not to bring anything out.”

This young man had obviously been arranged by the group leader, so he explained these things in great detail. He was afraid that ye chen and the others did not hear him clearly!

“Okay, we probably know about it now. Thank you for bringing us here. Will you take us back when we come out?”

Ye chen asked. After all, if the thing they found here was of no use to them, they would have to go back.

He didn’t think that there weren’t any other clues. Since he was already here, it would be a pity if he didn’t bring anything back.

The young Clansman obviously didn’t think of this, but after a short pause, he immediately nodded and agreed.

“Our entire tribe will be outside to protect our benefactors and help them get what they want.”

“Alright, I know. You can go back now!”

Ye chen waved his hand, then gently pushed open the half-closed gate.

Ye chen was quite curious about this place. After all, the small land that they had just entered was not much different from the ordinary forest outside.

It was just that there seemed to be more weeds here, and there were no edible fruits that were specially planted outside.

The trees here were all black, and their leaves had a hint of green.

It somehow made the atmosphere here seem even worse.

However, the three of them were already sick of seeing such a scene. Wasn’t it the same scene in the forest of the ROC clan?

Therefore, the three of them followed without changing their expressions. According to the map that they had seen from the patriarch and the elders, the elder had personally drawn a short route.

He told them which way was the fastest and safer way to get in from the fence.

Ye chen took the map and followed the route on it. After turning two corners, he saw the huge tree. The thing they were looking for was buried under this tree.

It seemed like a thin layer of fallen leaves on the ground, but there was something unknown hidden under it. It was hard not to be a little excited.

When ye chen saw that, he quickened his pace and walked to the tree. Lin Mo and Peng Fei followed behind him.

Peng Fei also curiously stuck his head out to look at the tree.

Lin Mo, on the other hand, did not care about what was buried underground. Instead, he walked around the tree.

“That’s easy to find, but why is this place classified as a restricted area? doesn’t it look the same as the outside world? There’s no danger!”

Ye chen said, puzzled. Then, he walked to the position he had seen on the crystal ball and squatted down.

He didn’t need a sword to dig a hole like this, so he casually took out a small knife and stabbed it into the soil.

He thought that there would be no one around, so the place should be very hard. However, he didn’t expect the knife to go through it so easily.

Moreover, this place even looked a little soft.

Ye chen reached out a finger and pressed down. As expected, this place was very humid. However, when he had first entered this forbidden area, he had clearly felt that the soil on the ground was quite hard.

However, even though he felt that it was strange, he didn’t care about such a small matter.

He quickly used his knife to start running on the ground, and his two friends couldn’t help him.

After all, Lin Mo didn’t have the tools, and Peng Fei couldn’t possibly use his own mouth to Peck, right?

Ye chen could see dozens of centimeters down but he still found nothing. He wondered if he had run to the wrong place.

At this moment, his Knife Hit something hard!

“I found it, I found it! Fortunately, I didn’t change location!”

If he couldn’t find it by another five centimeters, he might really have to walk in the other direction. Who knew that it would be such a coincidence?

He immediately removed all the soil on it, and as expected, an old box was revealed.

It was exactly the same as what he had seen in the crystal ball, just with a slight difference in color.

This didn’t matter. After all, the crystal ball was completely emitting a blue color, which was full of strangeness.

Now, the two companions also came over. “You stay here.” Then, ye chen took out the box and placed it on the flat ground at the side.

There was a crack in the middle of the wooden box. It looked like it was open but ye chen did not know where it was opened. He picked up the knife beside him and was about to insert it into the crack and open it.

However, Lin Mo grabbed his arm and shook his head, telling him not to do so.

Lin Mo then took the box and gently touched the top of the box to the bottom of the box. He successfully found a hidden button that was extremely difficult to discover!

Then, with a light press, the box actually opened with a bang!

“Great, so there’s such a troublesome process. Quickly open it and see what’s inside!”

Ye chen looked at the box happily, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. Then, he reached out and opened the box. There was a piece of emerald green jade inside!

“What is this? Wasn’t it supposed to be a piece of paper or a map? Why was it another piece of this kind of thing? What’s the use of that?”

Ye chen reached out to touch the piece of Jade. Who knew that just as he touched it a little, it was as if he was frozen and he subconsciously withdrew his hand.

“This can’t be, why is the cold Qi in this Jade so strong? It was just a light touch, but I feel like my fingers are about to freeze.”

Ye chen put his finger to his mouth and exhaled a breath of hot air. Only then did he feel better.

Lin Mo touched it as well. Even though his sensory nerves were not particularly strong, he could clearly feel the difference in the Jade.

“If we only have this, we can’t see any clues now.”

Ye chen said helplessly. Then, he used his knife to push the Jade to the side.

After that, he realized that there was nothing else in the box.

Since he couldn’t touch the Jade now, he closed the box and looked it up and down, hoping to find some clues.

Unfortunately, it was of no use at all. The Jade wrapped in the red wood was a complete piece of wood.

Other than the hidden button that could open the switch, the rest of the exterior was so flat that not even a single stroke could be found.

He shook his head helplessly. They didn’t know what was the use of this, but at least they didn’t come for nothing!

Although he didn’t find any useful clues, this piece of Jade didn’t seem to be a simple item.

In short, the three of them prepared to leave the big tree and return the way they came.

When ye chen stood up, he even stuffed the soil he had just dug out into the ground.

At that moment, the huge tree in front of them began to shake slightly, as if it had been touched by something.

Ye chen was shocked. He quickly pulled his two companions and took a few steps back to maintain a distance.

Just as they were on guard against anything strange that might appear on the tree, they suddenly heard a faint noise.

It sounded like a small animal’s cry?

Of course, ye chen remembered what the elf clan member had said before he came in but he was still somewhat curious.

He turned around and saw a Fox peeking at them from behind a small tree not far away.

The Fox looked out of place here because its entire body was gold with a slight tinge of red.

It was as if it was an animal that should not exist here.

Of course, ye chen would not let his guard down just because of this one characteristic.

The Fox had only lost a little of its breath when it saw them, but it quickly jumped over them and ran straight to the tree.

Then, it climbed up the tree, causing more leaves to fall.

However, as soon as he climbed up, the vibration disappeared. Ye chen was extremely surprised.

Then, he didn’t see the little fox jump down from the tree. It walked over like a mature human.

He raised his beautiful head and met ye Chen’s eyes. Then, he opened his mouth and spoke in human language.

Compared to the words spoken by the elves, the Fox’s words were clearly more standard and did not have their own native language.

This immediately piqued ye Chen’s interest.

“Take him and come with me!”

The Fox only said this before turning around and walking towards the back of the tree with light steps.

Only then did ye chen realize that the Fox was referring to the beautiful jade in his hand.

He glanced at his companion beside him. Lin Mo seemed to be quite interested in this as well.

Thus, they followed after the Fox with a tacit understanding. Peng Fei was at the back while ye chen and Lin Mo followed behind the Fox.

Ye chen did not forget what the clan member had said when he had entered.

However, no matter what kind of consequences he would face in the future, he could bear it, so he didn’t have to worry about it for a while.

Moreover, he really couldn’t suppress his curiosity. He really wanted to know what else was in this mountain.

He was still not completely at ease with the patriarch and the elder of the elf tribe.

After that, they followed the Fox Forward, and after a few turns, they stopped at a very hidden cave.

The Fox used its mouth to pull away the two branches, revealing the small hill and the dark entrance.

The little fox didn’t say anything else after that.

Even when they reached the entrance of the cave, they did not need ye Chen’s help and just walked forward by themselves.

Ye chen and Lin Mo quietly discussed for a while and decided to follow. At most, if they encountered any problems, they would face them head-on. At times like this, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Perhaps, through this cave, he could find more unknown content?

He had not found the gate on the map in the mountain he had passed before, so it was likely that it would appear here again.

In short, according to the description in the book and the content on the map, this door was a huge key!

The moment they entered the cave, they were immediately covered by the black surrounding and were trampled by the clusters of weeds on the ground.

He was also shocked, but he quickly recovered.

Ye chen raised his hand and a small flame appeared. With the help of the faint light, he walked forward. After all, he did not know if there was any big wood around the torch.

The Fox stopped at a corner and continued to speak to ye chen and the others.

“The one you’re looking for is here.”

When ye chen heard this, he immediately opened his mouth to ask what it was and what he would face next. Who knew that the Fox would just jump into the cave and disappear after saying that?

Ye chen tried to ask a question, but he had only managed to say two words when his voice was completely distorted by the empty cave. He even felt that there was a sound wave attack.

Therefore, he immediately shut up. This time, he definitely couldn’t open his mouth to speak loudly. He could only speak quietly.

“Since we’re already here, let’s go in and take a look. It won’t make a difference if we stay for a while longer.”

Ye chen was convinced by the Fox that the Jade in his hand would be useful in a while. Perhaps it could lead to the answer to the mystery they had been trying to solve!

Therefore, he didn’t refuse and went in to take a look.

At most, he would just come out with his tail between his legs. It didn’t matter if he had a little more time. Wouldn’t it be even more unfortunate if he returned empty-handed?

Following this principle, when ye chen saw that the Fox had also left, he picked up a small branch from the ground and used the small flame in his hand to light it up. As expected, it was much brighter.

After turning the corner, all they could see was darkness. Even though there was a fire, they could only see a small area.

“We still have to be careful. Pengfei, you stand at the back. If there’s any danger, just give a light cry.”

Ye Chen’s voice was extremely soft. Of course, they could hear him because they were closer.
