Chapter 307: Exploded!

Hmm?

Su Jingxing was slightly stunned when he got a clear look of his target.

A donkey.

An ordinary adult black donkey of ordinary size strolled briskly into the cave.

On its honest face, its eyes blinked as it looked at Su Jingxing and then at the strange plants on the ground.

Amidst the strange sounds, the latter quickly ran towards the black donkey and gathered together to hide behind it.

Hee-haw!

The black donkey wagged its tail and brayed at the Blood Doppelganger.

Su Jingxing did not move.

The black donkey blinked and did not move either.

The strange sounds from the dozens of strange plants did not stop, as if they were complaining.

Hee-haw!

In the confrontation, the black donkey raised its front hooves again and brayed at the Blood Doppelganger.

This time, the Blood Doppelganger retreated quietly.

Hee-haw!

The black donkey’s cries became strange. However, it did not move forward or do anything else. It blinked and stared at the Blood Doppelganger as it retreated bit by bit. It left the cave and the passageway.

While retreating, Su Jingxing kept his guard up against the black donkey.

Be it its aura or appearance, this black donkey was extremely ordinary.

But how could anything who could move freely in Black Flame Caves be ordinary?

To put it bluntly, the more ordinary the lifeforms in the Black Flame Caves were, the more terrifying they were.

Initially, Su Jingxing had wanted to take a strange plant with him to slowly study it.

However, after this black donkey that seemed to be the backer of the strange plants appeared, Su Jingxing decisively gave up on the idea.

Again, Su Jingxing wouldn’t make a move rashly unless necessary.

Under the black donkey’s watch, the Blood Doppelganger left the cave and turned into another passageway. Then, it sped up and left at lightning speed.

After leaving the area where the black donkey was, it then slowed down again. It released his blood energy and condensed sand and stones to wrap around the Soul Return Stones of different sizes.

Su Jingxing immediately relaxed now that he had gathered all four treasures needed for the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.

Next was to extract the Soul Breaking Card.

If he wanted to draw against New Chu’s Martial Sage, he would need at least three shots of Spirit Annihilation.

One shot of Spirit Annihilation required four Soul Breaking Cards.

Three shots equated to 12 cards.

Su Jingxing only had two cards on hand, which meant that he needed ten more.

Extracted cards from ten black-armored men.

Repetition was not possible. Every black-armored man could only be extracted once.

How many black-armored men were there?

Su Jingxing didn’t know. For now, he could only take things one step at a time.

After resting for a while, the Blood Doppelganger circulated the Six Comets Records to deduce the location of the black-armored men.

After choosing a direction, Su Jingxing’s Blood Doppelganger immediately rushed over.

Following the vague guidance of the heavenly secret arts, it approached a black-armored man.

It passed through cave after cave.

It bypassed the area where the black donkey was and moved closer to a black-armored man.

[Card+1]

From afar, it extracted a card.

Su Jingxing took it out and read the information in his palm. It was a Soul Breaking Card.

With the item in hand, the Blood Doppelganger quickly turned around and left.

Retreating a distance, he circulated the Six Comets Records again and divined the locations of the other black-armored men.

Again, after selecting a location, the Blood Doppelganger dashed over.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth cards.

When the Blood Doppelganger extracted six Soul Breaking Cards and walked into a cave on the way to the seventh, Su Jingxing’s heart skipped a beat.

“Not good!”

As soon as he finished speaking——

Bang!

With a loud explosion, Su Jingxing’s Blood Doppelganger exploded into countless pieces without any warning…

Eh, no. The Blood Doppelganger was an energy body. With this explosion, it turned into a pool of liquid that splattered all over the ground.

Hu~

Swish!

Amidst the strange sounds, the Blood Doppelganger that had dissipated into liquid, the sand that wrapped around the Soul Return Stones, and the pearls of blue liquid with a red glow were all sent flying out of the cave by an invisible repulsive force.

After lying on the ground for a while, Su Jingxing controlled the liquid to condense into a human body.

Putting away the Soul Return Stones and the blue liquid with a red glow, Su Jingxing exhaled.

Squeezing!

There was a terrifying squeezing force in the cave.

As soon as Su Jingxing’s Blood Doppelganger entered, it was enveloped by a squeezing force that came from all directions.

Under the terrifying force, Su Jingxing only had time to shout once before it exploded from the pressure.

Fortunately, it was the Blood Doppelganger. If it had been his main body made of flesh and blood, he would have long died.

There were no records of such power in the records left behind by the Wei Family’s ancestors.

On second thought, the cave that Su Jingxing’s Blood Doppelganger had gone to was already deep in the Black Flame Caves and nearing the center.

The information about Black Flame Caves that the Wei Family’s ancestors had could not involve this are.

Naturally, they would not know that there was a cave so dangerous that one would explode from the squeezing in less than three seconds.

Su Jingxing thought back carefully. Even if his main body activated his transcendent body power, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the sensation in this cave.

Faced with this force, the only way was to take a detour.

There were only six Soul Breaking Cards, and Su Jingxing didn’t want to leave just like that.

He took a long detour.

The Blood Doppelganger came to the other side and approached the black-armored man’s position.

Who would have thought——

Bang!

A familiar explosion sounded. The Blood Doppelganger that had stepped into the cave was once again crushed into countless drops of liquid that splattered everywhere.

Then, under the invisible repulsive force, it was lifted and flew out of the cave.

Another explosion!

After making a big detour, the cave it entered actually also contained the terrifying squeezing force.

Su Jingxing, who was crushed the second time, frowned tightly.

Although the pain from the explosion of the Blood Doppelganger was limited, without figuring out the reason, no matter how many detours it took, it would not be able to get close to the black-armored man.

They are clearly in two different directions, separated by a large circle, so why is there still a terrifying squeezing force in the cave?

Could it be that the periphery of the center of the Black Flame Caves is filled with this power?

Any lifeform that enters this range will be squeezed and crushed?

Su Jingxing’s eyes flickered as he put away the Soul Return Stones and the blue liquid with a red glow. He controlled the Blood Doppelganger to circle around again and stepped into another cave.

However, this time, the moment he stepped in, he swiftly retreated.

The entire process took less than two seconds.

The information received made Su Jingxing frown.

He had guessed right!

There was also that frightening squeezing force in the cave.

The center of the Black Flame Caves was filled with this force.

He couldn’t even get close, let alone enter.

The location of the black-armored man that the heavenly secret arts had divined was in the center.

Since he couldn’t get close, he naturally couldn’t extract the Soul Breaking Card.

What should I do?

Su Jingxing fell silent and fell into deep thought.

Such power could not be countered using brute force. It was not a mechanism, a restriction, or an array formation.

Breaking it by force was unrealistic and impossible.

After much thought, he decided to wait for the black-armored man to come out on his own.

After extracting six cards, Su Jingxing realized that these black-armored men had been moving around.

The routes they took all started from the center and extended to the periphery of the Black Flame Caves.

As if they were patrolling, they moved to and fro between the center and the outside.

Su Jingxing had already extracted the previous six.

The remaining black-armored men returned to the center before he could get into contact with them.

The black-armored men ignored the terrifying squeezing force. If Su Jingxing couldn’t do it, he would wait outside.

In any case, there were still six days before the banquet by New Chu’s Martial Sage. Su Jingxing was not in a hurry.

He made his decision.

Su Jingxing controlled his Blood Doppelganger to stop taking detours and wait outside the cave.

It waited for a day and night.
