Chapter Five A Very Ordinary Jade Pendant

  The fierce battle between the two-striped tiger and the double-headed lion made Tang Song completely give up his plan to go out.

  A fight involving a third-tier demonic beast, even if it's just a minor one, could cost him his life. Think about those two second-tier demonic beasts, the Dīcífēng Wolves, earlier - retreating at the sound of their howls was the wise choice.

  Tang Song wanted to take advantage of the fact that the two giant beasts had not yet clashed, so he escaped first.

  Unfortunately, the direction he wanted to escape was exactly the same as the river where he woke up before.

  Going down the river for a few kilometers, there should be another cliff. Looking down from the cave, it's a bottomless feeling. The height of the cliff on that side is estimated to be even higher than the one he fell from.

  So if you go out at this moment, you will instead walk into a dead end.

  It's better to hide in this cave, should be able to avoid a disaster, wait for the two giant beasts to finish fighting, and then leave.

  His intentions were good, but his stomach had other plans. It had been over a dozen hours since he last ate, and it was growling in protest.

  He still had to thank his predecessor for strengthening his physical body. If it were the old him, he would have lost a lot of energy after starving for so long.

  "No, we have to take advantage of the time before these two giant beasts arrive and pick some fruit to fill our stomachs. But where in the world can we find something to eat?" Listening to the distant roar, Tang Song prepared to get some food first, then hide back in the cave, and avoid this disaster for now.

  It's okay, those two swift wolves were scared away by the roar of Futakuchi Banriko and temporarily relieved his predicament.

  Crawled out of the vegetation cluster covering the entrance to the mountain cave, Tang Song could only pray in his heart that he would have good luck and be able to find something to eat.

  It's as if even heaven felt a bit embarrassed, so it ended the bad luck of Tang Song ahead of time. He had only walked less than two hundred meters when he saw an orchard.

  According to the predecessor's memory, this fruit is called sapiguo, a specialty of Hengyang City.

  Whatever it is, as long as it's edible.

  After his predecessor's memory identification that this fruit is non-toxic, Tang Song began to take action, and the time left for him was not much.

  Because there was no container for loading, Tang Song had to take off his outerwear and then frantically picked the sand pears.

  This sand pear looks very ugly on the outside, with small, pockmark-like protrusions.

  However, according to the predecessor's memory, although this sand skin fruit looks ugly, its taste is actually quite good.

  Typical intrinsic food.

  Wrapped in a bundle of clothes, the sand skin fruit, Tang Song's sudden retreat, the sound of two giant beasts was getting closer and closer, even Tang Song could feel that the entire forest was trembling due to the battle between the two giant beasts.

  In the distance, Tang Song could see one after another giant trees falling down in the midst of the two beasts' battle.

  Carrying the sand skin fruit back into the mountain cave passage, Tang Song finally let out a breath of relief. Putting the sand skin fruit on the ground, he picked one up and wiped it clean on his body before taking a big bite.

  It has to be said that humans are born to love gossip. Although they were in a precarious situation, Tang and Song didn't think of directly returning to the cave.

  Instead, he chose to stay at the entrance of the tunnel, waiting for the arrival of the two giant beasts.

  In my heart, the eight trigrams are burning fiercely. Whether it's the two-striped tiger or the double-headed lion, I've only seen introductions in books and have never seen the real thing.

  The tigers and lions on Earth, he had seen them on TV, but these two striped tigers and double-headed lions were obviously not of the same level as the tigers and lions on Earth.

  After eating a few fruits, Tang Song let out a sigh of relief, and his stomach finally didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.

  When extremely hungry, one cannot eat too much; Tang and Song dynasties were good at this, although the sand skin fruit is very sweet and delicious.

  The two giants had not yet clashed, although the sound was already very close, but Tang Song did not dare to go out and look.

  Out of boredom, Tang Song remembered the brocade box he had obtained from the stone chamber in the mountain cave, which was left behind by at least a Martial Emperor-level existence.

  "What's inside, I wonder?" Tang Song's emotions became excited again, although he couldn't cultivate anymore, but the moment he got the treasure, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

  He carefully placed the brocade box on the ground, propped up his chin and fell into thought. "I wonder if there's a mechanism set up inside this box? What if I open it myself and several poisonous needles shoot out?"

  Alright, Tang Song admitted he had misjudged, so he was using a petty person's mind to measure a gentleman's heart.

  After opening the brocade box, there was no hidden weapon inside, only a jade pendant lying in it.

  The jade pendant was nothing special, at least in Tang Song's eyes, it was just an ordinary jade pendant. There were many such pendants in the Tang family, and this young master of the Tang family naturally didn't lack one either.

  The difference between expectation and reality was too great, Tang Song felt a little disappointed in his heart. There was no peerless divine elixir here, nor any peerless kung fu like "Nine Yang Divine Art".

  There was only one piece of jade pendant that didn't look very valuable.

  "Could this be a treasure? Isn't it usually written that those extraordinary people's legacies were left in a jade pendant or a ring?" Tang Song couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

  "My god, my imagination is indeed rich enough. Unfortunately, I crossed into a fantasy world instead of a martial arts world. Otherwise, this jade pendant might have been a heirloom treasure."

  After searching through the memories of his predecessor, he found that there were no memories related to inheriting magical treasures. This mysterious and fantastical world was indeed incomparable to the world of immortal heroes.

  The craftsmanship of this refiner is far too different.

  In the memories of predecessors, in this world, the objects used by warriors are called treasured objects, which have a similar effect to magic treasures, but seem less powerful than magic treasures.

  As far as he knew, there was only one treasure in the entire city of Hengyang, and it was a low-grade treasure.

  Even so, it is still regarded by the Qishi family, the most powerful family in Hengyang City, as a treasure that can suppress and pass on the clan.

  It is said that the treasure has always been in the hands of the old ancestor of the Ji family, and even the master of the Ji family can't see it.

  Ji family's old ancestor, Ji Changqing, was a master of the Wuling period. He was known as the number one expert in Hengyang City and, together with the only precious artifact in Hengyang City, made the Ji family's position unshakeable.

  It's even said that the old ancestor of the Ji family, wielding this lowest-grade attack-type treasure, could rival a late-stage Wu Ling master. That's why, for so long, with the Ji family holding down Hengyang City, no other families or sects dared to make a move.

  A good treasure can even change a person's fate, and the preciousness of the treasure is evident from this.

  Tang Song really wishes that inside the brocade box is an attacking treasure, so he can use it to kill in all directions.

  Well, okay, Tang Song thought too much again.
