Liu Guanfeng neatly stacked the armor on the stone table, then used his iron spear to dig a deep pit beside the stone bed. He placed Zhang Tiandong's body into the pit and covered it with soil. Afterward, he found a larger stone and used his Twin Halberds to create a gravestone, inscribing it with "Zhang Tiandong's Grave."
Once the grave was prepared, Liu Guanfeng bowed three times before it, as he had always adhered to the traditional virtues of Chinese culture.
Liu Guanfeng then walked around the stone chamber but found nothing of value.
After that, he took out some rations and ate a few bites before lying down on the stone bed to sleep. After a day of fighting and traveling, he was quite exhausted. Liu Guanfeng never practiced outside because he feared an imbalance in the elements he absorbed; if he fell into a state of confusion, it would not be worth it. However, if Liu Guanfeng could master the sixth layer of the Chaos Initial Skill's Mind Method, Chaos Devouring, all his problems would be resolved.
The next morning, Liu Guanfeng quietly approached the cave entrance to look outside. He noticed that there were still quite a few Dinosaurs nearby, seemingly searching for something. So, Liu Guanfeng slowly retreated back inside. This routine continued for seven days; every morning he would check at the cave entrance. On the seventh day, he observed that there were not many Dinosaurs around the cave entrance anymore. Liu Guanfeng gradually returned to the stone chamber.
"XP, there are not many Earth Dragons outside anymore, and my injuries have healed significantly. I estimate that in another day or two, there won't be much to worry about."
"Master, what should we do next? Even if there are fewer Earth Dragons outside our cave, there are still plenty in the forest."
Liu Guanfeng thought for a moment: "XP, you should rest more during the day. At night, those Earth Dragons should be resting too. Go out and check the situation and see if you can find any Dragon Fruit."
XP nodded and lay down beside the stone bed to rest. The long day finally passed, and around ten o'clock, Liu Guanfeng called for XP.
"XP, go out and take a look. Remember to be very careful. If you are spotted by them, do not engage; just run back here. We can think of other plans later. There is still some time."
"I understand, Master." With that, XP's fur gradually turned green as it slipped out of the cave and disappeared into the dark night.
Meanwhile, Liu Guanfeng anxiously waited in the stone chamber; tonight felt much longer than usual. He went from silently waiting to pacing back and forth in the chamber before finally looking outside again.
As dawn began to break outside, he saw the grass in front of the cave slightly move as a green figure entered the cave. Liu Guanfeng focused his gaze and recognized it was XP returning from its outing.
"XP, you finally came back." Upon seeing XP, Liu Guanfeng was not concerned about whether it had found Dragon Fruit; he was just relieved that his companion had returned safely.
Liu Guanfeng stepped forward and quickly hugged XP in his arms. Without saying a word, he held XP while continuously petting its small head. Fortunately, XP was only the size of a Pekingese right now; if it had really transformed into a Mount, Liu Guanfeng would probably only be able to hold onto its neck.
After a while of petting, Liu Guanfeng calmed himself down and said, "XP, why did you come back so late? Do you know how worried I was? If something had really happened to you, how would I have lived?"
XP looked at Liu Guanfeng with a touched expression because it could tell from Liu Guanfeng's words that he truly cared for it.
"Master, it’s nothing serious. The reason I came back late is that I found the location of the Dragon Fruit."
"Oh? You found the Dragon Fruit? Where is it located?"
"It's on a small hill just ahead. There’s a big tree on top of it, and the Dragon Fruit is right on that tree."
"Then why did you come back just now?"
At this moment, XP looked like a child who had made a mistake, hiding its little head between its two front paws.
"Master, I just wanted to see if there were any Earth Dragons around the Dragon Fruit, and I also wanted to check their defense situation."
"So what did you find out?"
"Master, it's quite strange. Although the Dragon Fruit is a treasure for Earth Dragons, their defenses are not very tight. There are only three Eighth Rank Earth Dragons guarding it."
Hearing this, Liu Guanfeng was speechless. A defense that wasn't tight but still had three Eighth Rank Earth Dragons? Those were Eighth Rank, not just Tier Three. One Seventh Tier would leave Liu Guanfeng in a mess; if three Eighth Rank came at him, wouldn't he be turned into mush?
Thinking about this, Liu Guanfeng looked at XP on the ground and asked, "XP, do you think we have the ability to get that Dragon Fruit from the three Eighth Rank Earth Dragons?"
XP tilted its head and thought for a moment. "We should be able to get it."
Liu Guanfeng's mouth twitched slightly. "We can barely handle one Seventh Tier Earth Dragon, and now there are three Eighth Rank Earth Dragons. What do you suggest we do?"
"Master, tomorrow night, I'll lure the Three Earth Dragons away, and then you can climb the tree to pick the Dragon Fruit. I estimate that as long as we don't take all the Dragon Fruits, those Earth Dragons shouldn't chase us too fiercely. At that point, we can escape."
"No way," Liu Guanfeng said firmly.
"Why not, Master?"
"I won't risk your life. What if something happens to you? Your life is just as precious as mine, and I won't gamble with it."
xp stared at Liu Guanfeng for a long time without speaking.
"Master, please let me finish. The Earth Dragons move slowly; they won't catch me. As long as you can get the Dragon Fruit within three minutes, I won't be in any danger. Then I can take you away from here safely."
Liu Guanfeng looked at xp with confusion. "Can you guarantee nothing will go wrong?"
xp nodded.
"How tall do you think that big tree is?"
"About ten meters."
Liu Guanfeng thought for a moment and asked again, "Can you really guarantee to distract them for three minutes without any accidents?"
"Master, don't worry. xp promises to stay with you until the end."
Liu Guanfeng was also touched and squatted beside xp, stroking its head. "xp, this is our agreement; you must stay with me until the end, even if I become too old to move."
xp looked at Liu Guanfeng again and nodded firmly.
After a night of rest, Liu Guanfeng lay down on the stone bed with xp. The main purpose for the day was to sleep and regain energy for the fruit-picking plan scheduled for the early morning.
Night arrived as expected. Liu Guanfeng neatly stacked Zhang Tiandong's armor and sword on the stone bed, placing his diary on top. Liu Guanfeng had things to do now and couldn't carry these items with him. If there ever came a day when he needed to go to the forgotten continent of the Supreme Deity, he would return to retrieve these belongings. If someone else discovered this cave, they would also know where to send the items.
Once everything was packed up, it was already completely dark outside.
Liu Guanfeng felt that it should be around eleven o'clock, so he and xp slowly crawled out of the cave. After exiting, Liu Guanfeng looked around to see if there were any other Earth Dragons lying in ambush nearby. Feeling that everything was normal, Liu Guanfeng mounted xp and reminded him to be extra cautious while moving, so as not to get surrounded again.
The green-furred xp nodded and dashed toward the location of the Dragon Fruit.
At night, only a few Earth Dragons were active, far fewer than during the day. After cleverly avoiding several patrolling Earth Dragon squads, they finally reached their destination.
xp crouched down and said to Liu Guanfeng, "Master, ahead is where the Dragon Fruit is located."
After sliding off xp's back, Liu Guanfeng slowly pushed aside the weeds in front of him. Not far away stood a small hill with a large tree on it. Upon seeing this tree, Liu Guanfeng rubbed his eyes. He recognized this tree; although he had never seen one in his past life, he had seen many on television, in movies, and on computers. This tree was actually a Coconut Tree.
Liu Guanfeng looked at xp and asked, "Are you sure that what’s on this tree is Dragon Fruit? Not coconuts?"
xp looked at his master with confusion. "Master, what is a coconut?"
Liu Guanfeng pointed at the coconut tree ahead. "It's the fruit on that tree. It has a hard shell and contains milky juice inside."
xp shook his head. "I really don't know what you mean by coconut, but I know for sure that what grows on this tree must be Dragon Fruit."
"How can you be so certain?"
"Because when I slowly approached this tree yesterday, it was the three Earth Dragons below that spoke."
"Huh? I didn't expect you to know a foreign language."
"Master? What is a foreign language?"
"Never mind, I meant to ask if you can understand what the Earth Dragons are saying?"
"Of course I can. All magical beasts speak just like humans. It's just that they haven't reached the Ninth Tier yet, so their voices haven't evolved to be like humans. That's why they mostly communicate by roaring, but the content of their speech is generally similar."
Liu Guanfeng nodded, thinking: If my foreign language skills had been better back then, maybe I wouldn't have been forced to cross over to this place. I really need to study cultural subjects more. If I ever get the chance to go back, I will definitely relearn foreign languages. I'll start from A, O, E.
"XP, we're too far away now. What should we do?"
"Master, let's crawl over slowly."
"That's all we can do." With that, Liu Guanfeng lay down on the ground and began to crawl forward slowly.
After advancing for about twenty meters, they stopped because Liu Guanfeng was now only a few meters away from the Dragon Fruit Tree.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng finally saw the situation around the Dragon Fruit Tree. Under the tree, three Earth Dragons were resting. These Earth Dragons were not very large, only about five or six meters long, and compared to their massive bodies, their heads appeared much smaller.
Yesterday was exhausting; I went home and fell asleep right away for almost twelve hours. I'm sorry for the delay in updates. Please consider following and clicking for support.
