"No problem."
Seeing it was a task in her area of expertise, Zi Yan confidently puffed out her tiny chest.
She then removed her gloves, stored them in her storage ring, closed her eyes, and began sensing for the presence of treasure.
A moment later, Zi Yan's jewel-like purple eyes suddenly snapped open. With a flash, her petite figure darted toward the deeper parts of Demon Flame Valley.
Seeing this, Lin Feng, Queen Medusa, Xiao Yixian, and the others quickly followed.
As for Tian Huo Zun Zhe, he turned into a wisp of smoke and flowed back into the storage ring on Lin Feng's hand.
Following behind Zi Yan, they passed through the tunnel of the valley—half-destroyed by the earlier explosion of the Emperor Lotus Flame.
After several minutes, the path ahead was suddenly blocked by a stone wall covered in dry weeds.
"So the treasure vault of Demon Flame Valley is hidden behind this wall…"
Unlike the curious expressions on Medusa and Xiao Yixian's faces, Lin Feng muttered with faint anticipation as he looked at the stone wall.
"Eh? Lin Feng, you actually figured it out?"
Seeing his reaction, Zi Yan seemed surprised. Then, stomping her small foot on the ground with a bang, her entire body shot forward.
With her little fists tightly clenched, she smashed toward the stone wall in front of her.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion echoed out as stone fragments scattered in all directions.
That seemingly sturdy wall was blasted open by the little girl's monstrous strength, revealing a crack.
Seeing that the gap was still too narrow, Zi Yan pounced again. Her small fists were like a mountain-cracking machine as she pounded forward.
In just a few seconds, she forcefully blasted open the stone wall, revealing a long, hidden tunnel behind it.
"Who would've thought that old bastard would build his treasure vault so well hidden…"
Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes gazed at the dark, concealed tunnel, and she slowly dispersed the rainbow-colored longsword in her hand. Her tone carried a trace of surprise.
The stone wall outside this tunnel was made of a special material that blocks detection.
Otherwise, even as a Dou Zong, she would've easily found this place.
"Let's go."
Gazing into the pitch-black tunnel, Lin Feng turned to the two women and spoke calmly.
With that, he bent his knees slightly and launched forward, swiftly darting toward the entrance of the Demon Flame Valley's treasure vault.
Upon landing at the tunnel's mouth, he began walking inside.
"Lin Feng, wait for me!"
Zi Yan clapped the dust off her tiny hands, then trotted after him.
Queen Medusa and Xiao Yixian exchanged a glance. Their graceful figures flashed as they quickly followed.
They walked behind Lin Feng, stepping with their long, slender legs into the pitch-black tunnel.
Passing through the short tunnel, the group soon arrived at a small cave hidden within the mountain.
Inside the cave, a faintly glowing lamp hung by a thin string from the ceiling.
At the center of the cave was a wide, black hole several meters in diameter.
On the surrounding cave walls were carvings of magic beasts—fierce and imposing in appearance.
However, for Lin Feng and his group—capable of taking down even a Seven-Star Dou Zong—such things were completely ineffective.
Arriving at the center of the cave, they paused slightly at the stone steps descending into the hole, then began their descent.
The stone staircase spiraled downward to a great depth, the bottom lost to darkness.
Embedded into the surrounding rock walls were moonlight stones that emitted a soft glow.
These stones provided just enough light for them to clearly see where they were stepping.
After descending for about ten minutes, they finally reached the bottom of the staircase.
There, a heavy, tightly shut stone door stood before them.
The door was entirely black, its surface covered in moss, giving off a thick, ancient pressure.
"Another one of these? Leave it to me!"
Seeing yet another stone door, Zi Yan eagerly volunteered.
With a few short hops of her stubby legs, she leaped in front of the door.
"Boom!"
Her small hand balled into a fist and smashed into the stone surface, releasing a deep, muffled bang that echoed endlessly through the underground.
As the stone wall was shattered open, a blinding ray of light suddenly shot out from within.
"Zi Yan, be careful! There's a Rank 5 magic beast inside!"
Sensing the creature within through his powerful soul force, Lin Feng quickly called out a warning.
Just as he spoke, a putrid gust of wind burst forth from behind the stone door and lunged straight for Zi Yan's head.
"Hmph! You little snake, how dare you sneak attack your grandaunt?!"
Seeing the serpent-shaped magic beast strike toward her, Zi Yan let out a cold snort.
Her right foot stomped the ground fiercely, and her petite figure burst forward. With a powerful swing of her fist, she struck directly at the beast's head.
"Boom!"
A dull, fleshy explosion echoed through the space.
The head of that Rank 5 snake-type magic beast was blown apart by Zi Yan's single punch.
Even the magic core inside was violently ejected by the tremendous force.
It shot across the chamber like a black blur, slamming into the surrounding walls.
Fortunately, the treasure vault had been constructed entirely of special stone, so the walls were not cracked by the collision.
Instead, the magic core bounced back off the walls several times before finally being snatched up by Lin Feng, who casually stored it in his ring.
After confirming the guardian beast had been dealt with, Lin Feng walked toward a nearby bookshelf.
Noticing the words "Low-Grade Black Class" etched on the frame, he let his gaze sweep across the many scrolls, but showed no interest. Without pausing, he continued deeper inside.
For such common Xuan-tier Dou Techniques and cultivation methods, he had long since lost any interest.
What he truly sought were the two treasures:
Flame Creation Art
Sky Demon Puppet
These two items alone were each comparable in value to a Heaven Class Dou Technique.
Sweeping his eyes forward, Lin Feng then turned to the three girls behind him and said, "Let's go. I want to see what kind of treasure this Demon Flame Valley vault holds."
Thinking of those two items, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes as he stepped deeper into the treasure vault.
"Alright! I'm going to eat until I'm full this time!"
Hearing him speak, Zi Yan leapt up in excitement and hurried to follow closely behind.
Queen Medusa and Xiao Yixian also exchanged a quick glance, then let their alluring figures drift forward after him, their beautiful eyes scanning the treasures along the way.
As they walked through the sea of items, Lin Feng barely found anything that truly caught his attention.
Only when he occasionally saw some high-quality medicinal herbs did he store them in his ring.
However, after walking for another ten minutes or so...
He finally came upon a wide, open area—and there, lay the massive corpse of a magic beast.
"This is… the body of a Rank 7 magic beast!"
Sensing the faint pressure emanating from the corpse, Lin Feng's eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Before him was the body of a python-type magic beast, its entire body covered in fiery red scales.
The corpse had been carefully arranged into a coiled position, clearly done by someone intentionally.
Its size was tremendous, with a body thickness of several meters in diameter.
Its length stretched to a staggering twenty to thirty meters.
But when Lin Feng's gaze swept toward its head, he saw something shocking—there was a gaping, bloody hole, incredibly eye-catching.
