"Okay, come in right now."

Hearing the treasure-hunting rat Dabao urging him, Wang Zhen responded, squatted down, and carefully placed the golden ape on the ground.

The entrance of the cave is too small and the golden ape is too big. If Wang Zhen takes the golden ape through with him, he will not be able to get through at all.

Therefore, Wang Zhen could only put the golden ape down first and slowly pull it upright into the cave.

"Brother Ape, I'm sorry, I have no choice but to bring you in like this."

Wang Zhen apologized to the unconscious Golden Ape, then backed up, took the Golden Ape's two thick fingers, and dragged him toward the crack in the cave.

But he didn't notice that the Golden Ape's eyelids moved and then closed again.

After entering the cave along the crack, the inside gradually became wider and wider, but also went downwards.

The cave is very dark, without any light, but for Wang Zhen, these are not problems.

After all, he is a person with superpowers. If an ordinary person suddenly enters a dark place, he will gradually adapt to it after a few seconds, not to mention him. Although he couldn't see in the darkness as if there were nothing, he could still see things simply.

The cave stretched all the way down. Wang Zhen dragged the golden ape for a few minutes. After turning a large bay, a colorful light suddenly came into view.

Wang Zhen took a closer look and was stunned. He almost thought he had arrived in the fairy world.

He saw stalagmites standing in the cave, various stone forests, stone statues, stone rivers, and stone waterfalls everywhere, shining with colorful light under the light coming from nowhere.

With a bang, Wang Zhen subconsciously let go of Jin Yuan's hand and stared blankly at the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"This scene can only be seen in the sky, how many times can you hear it in the human world!"

"The stalactite forests on Earth are nothing compared to this place."

Wang Zhen looked at the rare scenery in front of him and sighed with shock in his heart.

You must know that there are similar stalactite forest caves on the earth, and Wang Zhen has also visited them.

But whether it is the various heights of the stalagmites and stone statues inside, or the inexplicable colorful light, the stalactite forest in front of him is beyond compare to those on the earth!

At a glance, you can see the endless stone cave, the stalactite forest seven or eight meters high, various Buddha statues, people, horses, waterfalls, and other scenery more than ten meters high!

Shining life like under the carvings of nature, Wang Zhen, who was stunned, even felt that he was very small.​

Squeak, squeak, squeak...

"Come on, Master, I found the treasure!"

Just as Wang Zhen was mesmerized by the beauty of the stalactites, a sharp squeaking sound came from the middle of the stone forest, waking him up.

When Wang Zhen woke up, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and then remembered that he still had business to do.

After entering the cave, the space inside became very large. Now Wang Zhen no longer had to worry about the golden ape being too big to move around.

Therefore, for the sake of convenience, Wang Zhen carried the golden ape again and walked towards the depths of the stalactite forest.

Along the way, he saw only huge stone pillars, like the pillars of a hall supporting the space between the cave roof and the earth.

On the top of the cave and on the ground, there are many kinds of stalagmites.

Some are like lotuses, some are like Buddha statues, some are like waterfalls, some are like fish, and some are like birds.

Beautiful women, strong men, animals, beasts, forests, pagodas, there are only things you can't imagine, nothing that it doesn't have, all of them come to life under the illumination of colorful lights.

The stalactite forest is very large. Wang Zhen walked and looked at it, feeling that his eyes were not enough.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

"Master, be careful, there is danger."

I don’t know how long it took, but Wang Zhen, who was walking in the stone forest, suddenly heard Dabao’s warning call from ahead.

So, he carried the golden ape and walked quickly towards the place where the sound came from.

Finally, after walking about a thousand meters in the stone forest, he walked out of the stone forest.

Walking out of the stone forest, Wang Zhen saw a small stone forest that was only as high as his knees, and in the middle of the small stone forest was a huge stone platform.

There is a huge jade bowl on the stone platform, about three meters in diameter, filled with milky white liquid.

In the middle of the liquid, a golden lotus bloomed with dazzling light.

Under the jade bowl, a palm-sized golden toad was confronting Dabao.

When Wang Zhen looked at it, he suddenly remembered something he had heard somewhere: "Wherever heaven and earth treasures are found, there must be spiritual beasts guarding them."

"Could that golden toad be the legendary guardian spirit beast?"

"Then according to this, that golden lotus must be the legendary treasure of heaven and earth!"

Wang Zhen suddenly had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Who are you? Why are you secretly drinking my thousand-year-old stalactite?"

At this moment, a little boy's voice suddenly sounded from Wang Zhen's mind.

"Hey, who's talking?"

The sudden sound startled Wang Zhen.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the golden ape that had been thrown to the ground a long time ago, only to find that it was still unconscious.

"It's not a golden ape, is it the golden toad in front of me?"

Wang Zhen looked at the golden toad under the stone platform in disbelief.

"No need to read, that's what I asked you."

Again, the child's voice came into Wang Zhen's mind. It was clearly a child's voice, but it was so sincere that people couldn't help but laugh.

" Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The treasure-hunting rat Dabao on the side seemed to have heard Golden Toad’s question.

So, it argued by squeaking in response; "I thought it was an ownerless thing, so I drank a little. Who knew that you came out just after I drank a little? How can this be called stealing?"

After hearing Dabao's answer, Golden Toad glanced at Dabao intently but fell into deep thought.

When others see Dabao, they may only think that it is a mutated mouse, but after awakening its bloodline inheritance, it knows that the mouse in front of it is the treasure-hunting mouse that ranks first on the list of strange beasts.

What is an exotic beast?

It refers to those beasts that are different from ordinary ones. To put it simply, it means mutation and evolution, and to say it is complicated, it means the mutation of bloodline and return to the ancestors.

Exotic beast rankings

1st place: Treasure hunting rat

Innate magical powers: Treasure hunting, teleportation, ignoring rules

Secondary supernatural power: Dharma-like heaven and earth, dimensional space, flying to the sky and escaping to the earth.

This is the introduction to the treasure-hunting rat in its bloodline inheritance.

Although the treasure-hunting mouse in front of him is just a newborn treasure-hunting mouse, the golden toad does not dare to underestimate it at all.

You must know that in its memory inheritance, even in the fairy world and the divine world, treasure-hunting rats are rare.

Therefore, every time it appears, it will cause a bloody storm.

Each of the exotic beast rankings has its own uniqueness, and the treasure-hunting rat clan can occupy the first place. How can it be underestimated?

As for why its heritage contains the origin of the treasure-hunting rat.

Of course, it’s because it is actually a member of the list of exotic beasts. No, it doesn’t count now, because only when it turns into a real three-legged golden toad can it be said to be a member of the list of strange beasts.

Exotic beast rankings

10th place: Three-legged Golden Toad

Innate magical power: Metal sensing

Secondary magical power: Stir up troubles, attract wealth and treasures, form the law of heaven and earth, and create a space of its own.

In its inherited memory, its ancestors told them that if they meet other members on the list of exotic beasts one day, no matter what the situation is, help them if they can, and never turn against them.

Because there are only a few exotic beasts, and each one is unique.

If they are not united in this way, it is estimated that the exotic beast clan will disappear in the long river of history before long.
