Chapter 377: Hidden Wealthy Person

Swish~ Swish~
Two arrows shot into the giant ape king’s body.
ROAR!
The giant ape king roared in anger. Its arms that were akin to huge stone pillars swung around even more violently.
“Don’t need to care about me, you leave first!”
Gu Xiuxun saw Sun Mo coming over and told him to protect the students.
“This fellow isn’t easy to deal with!”
Sun Mo didn’t leave. He saw that the new student group was almost by the ancient castle’s entrance. Hence, he got Gu Xiuxun to use the muli grass juice.
Gu Xiuxun followed his instructions, but after spraying the juice on her body, not only did it not repel the giant ape king, but it seemed to make the giant ape king even angrier instead.
ROAR!
The giant ape king howled and smashed its fist into the ground.
BOOM!
Cracks appeared on the ground’s surface as soil flew up.
Sun Mo flashed and knocked Gu Xiuxun away. “You leave first!”
Eighteen Words Order!
Pak! Pak! Pak!
He waved his wooden blade repeatedly, smashing it into the giant ape king’s body.
“Alright then!”
Gu Xiuxun also knew that Sun Mo was saying this for her sake. Hence, she no longer argued. “You must be careful!”
Sun Mo waited for Gu Xiuxun to run over ten meters away before stopping. After he saw the giant ape king not chasing her, he no longer attacked it. Instead, he executed his movement art and focused on dodging.
The giant ape king felt that Sun Mo was like an annoying fly. It wanted to crush him but was unable to catch up. Hence, it could only spin around anxiously.
“Sun Mo, are you mad?”
Ren Yong saw Sun Mo leading the giant ape king his way and was so frightened that he almost pissed his pants. There was no solution to it, he could only get the new student group to retreat quickly. “I still have many students at my side!”
“So, for their safety, you should come and block the giant ape king’s attacks!”
Sun Mo was precisely threatening Ren Yong.
Truthfully, if Ren Yong had been selfish and had chosen to flee and abandon the students, Sun Mo would also not allow the giant ape king to attack them.
As a teacher, this was the most basic moral integrity.
Ren Yong was so angry that he almost coughed up blood. Just when he wanted to block the giant ape king, he discovered that the ape king’s intellect wasn’t low at all. It seemed to hate Sun Mo a lot, hence, it completely ignored others and kept aiming for Sun Mo.
“Haha, is this what’s called ‘karma strikes back’?”
Ren Yong was joyful.
Sun Mo ruled his eyes. (Have you forgotten how I played you previously?)
Sun Mo’s steps suddenly slowed.
The giant ape king rushed over and punched out heavily.
BOOM!
Sun Mo’s head directly exploded.
The giant ape king froze. (Why is there no blood? Forget it, it’s good enough since the human died.) It joyfully roared at the sky and beat its chest with its fists.
“Damn, it’s another clone!”
Ren Yong’s scalp turned numb. (What exactly is his cultivation art? Isn’t this clone a bit too real?) However, he couldn’t be bothered to ponder anymore because the giant ape king had lunged toward his group, preparing to hunt them.
(These young humans would definitely have tender meat. Delicious!)
“Block it!”
Ren Yong roared.
The teachers of Iron Cliff Academy still had their personal integrity. They took the initiative to block the giant ape king, allowing the students to retreat first.
“Iron Cliff is finished!”
Qin Su, who has already retreated far away, suddenly didn’t feel as disappointed as before when he saw this scene.
Even the Iron Cliff Academy ranked in the #30+ has suffered and was fooled, losing their chance to ascend. In that case, there was no need for his side to complain too much.
“We will just work harder next year!”
Qin Su gave up.
“Teacher Sun, you are very impressive!”
Gu Xiuxun lifted her right hand.
Sun Mo did the same.
Pak!
The two of them high-fived to celebrate their victory.
...
The information indicated that because of earthquakes, three crevices appeared within the ruins. One of them would lead people to the altar. If one jumped into the correct crevice, they would be able to see a set of dilapidated-looking stairs leading downwards.
That was the entrance to the ‘A’ secret realm.
Sun Mo’s group reached this area by following the map. However, they weren’t in a hurry to go down.
“There are no giant apes nearby!”
Lu Zhiruo glanced in the surroundings.
“The spirit qi below seems to be so concentrated!”
Zhang Yanzong sniffed and perceived the spiritual qi below.
“Many animals have territorial behavior. Those giant apes attacked us only because we have entered their territory.”
Wang Chao explained.
“The place below should be even more dangerous!”
Gu Xiuxun had a solemn look on her face.
This location was very near to the giant ape king’s nest, and with such a dense spirit qi, the giant ape king should have monopolized this area by right. However, there were no giant apes in sight.
Hence, this indicated that this location must be monopolized by other ferocious beasts. The danger was so high that even the giant apes didn’t dare to go near.
“Regardless if it’s dangerous or not, we have to go down!”
Qian Dun urged, “Let’s light a torch. Follow behind me closely!”
Qian Dun was someone who wanted face. Earlier in the fight, he didn’t really contribute much. Hence, he took the initiative to take the lead now. After all, the front position was the most dangerous.
The student group lit some torches. As for Li Ziqi and the others, they took out a fist-size spirit diamond.
A faint blue light instantly radiated forth, illuminating an area of about 30 meters wide.
“Ar...are these spirit diamonds?”
Wang Chao was shocked. He glanced to the left and right and involuntarily gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
Spirit diamonds were even more precious when compared to spirit crystals. Also, they were an extremely rare ore. The spirit qi contained within was 1,000x more compared to a similar-sized spirit stone.
Only spirit stone mines of exceptionally high quality would be able to produce spirit diamonds. Also, the number of spirit diamonds were limited. Hence, their value was extremely high.
“What are you all doing?”
Zhang Yanzong subconsciously asked, “Don’t tell me you are using these as torches?”
“Yeah!”
Li Ziqi spoke as though it was proper and to be expected, “The flames from the torches are too big. Besides, they might become a source of danger.”
In order to lengthen the time the torches could burn, humans would use oil cloth and grease as well as some other burnable materials. After lighting the torch, smoke would be emitted.
In spacious locations, it was fine. However, in narrow places like underground, although the smoke wouldn’t poison anyone to death, it would still cause people to feel very uncomfortable.
Moreover, they were currently exploring the underground palace. If they lit an open fire, it was easy for an explosion to occur. Hence, the scout had to be 20 meters away from the main group.
The people of the Nine Provinces didn’t know why explosions might occur if one lit a fire underground. However, through several thousand years of experience, there shouldn’t be a mistake.
As someone of the modern era, Sun Mo naturally knew the answer. Since the air underground couldn’t circulate well, some easily flammable gas might gather, and once the density was enough, things would be dangerous.
Nevertheless, the most important point was that the glow from spirit diamonds was brighter than from torches. The group would then be able to see further.
“Is there a need to be so extravagant?”
Zhang Yanzong was speechless.
“How much heartache would it cause if you drop it?”
Li Fen gulped down a mouthful of saliva. She then added, “I’ve never seen a spirit diamond before. Can you lend it to me so I can touch it?”
Li Ziqi directly threw the spirit diamond to Li Fen.
“Ah!”
Li Fen screamed and panicked. She was extremely afraid that the spirit diamond might be damaged. After all, she wouldn’t be able to afford it.
“If we drop it, just forget about it!”
Li Ziqi mentally mused that the Wind King Divine Hall was full of spirit stones. Although spirit diamonds weren’t a lot, there should at least be over 10,000 pieces.
They really had to thank the Wind King for this.
It was an ancient elemental king, the pure condensed essence of the wind element. After it was imprisoned, its elemental radiation caused the entire Wind King Hall to crystallize through the tens of thousands of years, filling it up with spirit stones.
One must know that the reason why the spirit qi in the Spiritwind Canyon was so dense and unstable was because of the elemental radiation, which generated chaotic currents.
“How beautiful!”
When Li Fen was about to return the spirit diamond to Li Ziqi, she discovered that the latter had taken out another spirit diamond from her bag.
The little sunny egg wanted Zhang Yanzong to hold one as well. After all, using this item instead of holding a torch would allow one to enter their combat state quicker.
“You gave the spirit diamonds to them?”
Gu Xiuxun glanced at Sun Mo and asked in a low voice.
There was no solution to it. The six students who took out spirit diamonds were all Sun Mo’s. If someone told her that these spirit diamonds had no connection with Sun Mo, the masochist would surely not believe it.
“Nope!”
Sun Mo shook his head. These spirit diamonds were dug out by the students themselves.
Strictly speaking, the Wind King Hall was Sun Mo’s private property. Because of the eight-gate cloud, Sun Mo could casually enter it to take spirit stones.
Others wouldn’t be able to do so because the laws of the Nine Provinces and Darkness Continent were different. For items like spirit stones, once they were brought into the Nine Provinces, the spirit qi contained within would rapidly fade away.
“Che, miser!”
Gu Xiuxun’s lips twitched and she hammered gently at Sun Mo with her hand.
“Teacher Gu, for you!”
Li Ziqi was extremely considerate when it came to such matters. She directly took out a spirit diamond and passed it to Gu Xiuxun. This could be considered as her helping her teacher gain a favorable impression from Gu Xiuxun.
“Thanks, but there’s no need to do so.”
Gu Xiuxun didn’t take it. As a teacher, she wouldn’t want things that belonged to a student.
“Just take it, it’s just a spirit diamond!”
Sun Mo didn’t want to argue for such a small matter.
“Che, just hear what you’re saying. What big words!”
Gu Xiuxun snorted after hearing Sun Mo say the words, ‘just a spirit diamond’.
“Do you want it or not?”
Sun Mo furrowed his brows.
“Yes!”
Gu Xiuxun took the spirit diamond. “Hitting wealthy people, sharing spirit stones. This is something right and proper. Why not?”
Honestly speaking, Gu Xiuxun had never seen a spirit diamond before. Even when she was at her wealthiest state, she only had 12 spirit crystals. The more she looked at the diamond, the more jealous she felt.
“Hmph, you actually lied and told me it wasn’t yours!”
Gu Xiuxun felt that Sun Mo treated her like an outsider. If the spirit diamonds weren’t his, he wouldn’t distribute them so casually.
Li Ziqi could hear a hint of depression in Gu Xiuxun’s voice. Then, glancing at Sun Mo, she discovered that her teacher had no idea what was going on. In other words, he basically didn’t realize that Gu Xiuxun was angry.
(Sigh, the most terrifying thing is still an inflexible and unsophisticated guy. Teacher, it isn’t without reason that you are single until now!)
As a student of her teacher, Li Ziqi felt that she had the obligation to support Sun Mo’s interpersonal relationships. Hence, she went over to Gu Xiuxun and said, “Teacher Gu, my teacher doesn’t mean anything by it.”
“You are still the obedient one!”
Gu Xiuxun patted the little sunny egg’s head. “How about it? Why don’t you trample on Sun Mo and take me as your teacher instead? I will surely treat and nurture you like my own daughter!”
“That will really be my honor.”
Li Ziqi flattered.
“Hehe!”
Gu Xiuxun laughed. (Li Ziqi’s EQ is truly very high. Look, She clearly knows that I was jesting and had intentions of doing so, merely speaking pleasantries)
After the student group went down the stairs, they saw a fork ahead.
“Which path should we take?”
Qian Dun asked.
The Saint Gate had explored this ancient castle, but the radius of their exploration wasn’t large. After that, they drew a map and passed it to the various student groups. They also had no idea where the good treasures were hidden.
“Zhiruo?” Sun Mo glanced at the papaya girl. “You choose a path!”
“Wait a minute!”
Lu Zhiruo brought out a wooden rod. She placed it vertically on the ground and let it fall.
Pak!
When the wooden rod fell onto the ground, it pointed at the 10 o’clock direction.
“Over there!” The papaya girl reported.
“Ok, we will take the path on the left,” Sun Mo instructed.
“...”
Qian Dun’s lips twitched. In the end, he didn’t say anything and simply followed the instructions!
After traveling for over forty minutes, Qian Dun started to feel a little impatient, thinking that the other path should be the right one. However, he suddenly heard some voices.
