East Meet West

160- Change of Plans 2

After Orochi’s consciousness entered the storage ring, he took a look and realized that this Ethan guy was really rich.

First of all, the internal space is about 8 cubic meters. This might sound less... umm... yeah it is less... well considering that its dimensions are 2 meters in length, breadth, and height each.

But if one realizes the price of such a storage ring then, even the rich people would feel distressed.

In the market, it would cost nearly 100 Low grade energy stones. Which is equal to a hundred thousand gold coins.

Really expensive!!!

In the storage ring, there is a corpse of a monster at the peak of the Demi-Monster stage, around 60-70 Low grade energy stones, a few thousand gold coins, a note related to some trade association, a few pills bottles, armor, and finally the map.

Without paying attention to other things, Orochi first took out the map.

Orochi then took a brief look and compared it to the map given by Sheela, then passed it to June.

After June viewed it for few minutes, she said,

“The location indicated on this map is in the opposite direction from where we came. So, we have to go back then walk for another 3-4 miles, and we should reach the location.”

“Then let us start.”

Just as everyone got ready to walk, Armelia shouted from the side,

“Wait!!! Orochi, you should first heal your wounds.”

Armelia quickly took out a few healing pills and ointment that would prevent from forming scars.

Orochi was stabbed in the abdomen and a cut was made in his left arm which was already cauterized.

So, when Armelia took out healing pills and ointment, Orochi stopped her and only took the ointment.

“Don’t worry, I have already taken healing pills.”

With that said, Orochi showed his abdomen to Armelia.

The wound was closed but a little blood was still leaking.

“See? In a few minutes, the wound will completely heal. So, right now I just need the ointment to prevent the formation of scars. And my fifth element is the wood element, so wounds will heal at a faster rate.”

Even after Orochi confirmed that he was fine, Armelia still checked his wounds and personally applied the ointment on both wounds.

Seeing this, Orochi sighed inwardly and pinched Armelia’s cheeks.

Actually, Orochi did not take any healing pill and did not even use any HP potion.

The ‘Resistance-HP’ hidden ability – heals 20 HP per second; got immediately activated when Orochi got injured. And Orochi lost more than 4000 Hp in the fight with Ethan. So, it takes only a few minutes for him to heal. And on top of that, the self-heal ability is working in sync with the ‘resistance-hp’ ability.

Due to the loss of blood, the wounds did not heal yet, so it will take another minute or 2 for all the wounds to heal completely.

Orochi changed his clothes and said,

“Let’s go then.”

Hearing this everyone nodded and started moving in the direction marked on the map.

.

Just like June said, when the group got closer to the place where Ethan’s group and Orochi’s group fought, there were few monsters investigating the area. Their strength was not great but the group decided to avoid them, so they walked around.

After walking for half an hour, the group finally reached the location that was marked on the map.

What came in front of them was a huge mountain and at the middle section of the mountain, there was a cave wide enough to fit 2-3 humans at a time.

But one thing confused Orochi, that is, how was the guy who marked the map, was able to climb the mountain when he was injured? Well, whatever.

Orochi said,

“Aunt June, should we climb the mountain?”

June answered,

“No, I can carry everyone. Everyone holds each other.”

June grabbed Armelia and Orochi, while Orochi grabbed Jashan, and then June flew towards the cave entrance.

June was quick and within few moments then reached the entrance.

Orochi first threw Jashan into the cave and told him to walk ahead and explore the cave.

Jashan was crying internally but gritted his teeth and started exploring the cave. He just hoped that Orochi would spare his life.

Others walked behind Jashan.

As the group walked deep into the cave, everyone smelled a foul smell. But since they are here for treasures, everyone can only continue.

After walking for a minute, 4 tunnels appeared in front of the group.

Jashan said,

“I don’t know which tunnel leads to the nest. When the senior brother tried to enquire about it from the guy, the guy said that all the tunnels will meet at some point and again divide. The tunnels are like a group of mazes, so only that guy knew the proper way. So, senior brother thought of spending some time to explore all the tunnels and maybe more treasures could be found?”

When Orochi heard this, he cursed Ethan for thinking of such a time-wasting idea.

Like spending some time and explore tunnels and maybe more treasures could be found?

What shitty idea is that?

Orochi did not further dwell on this matter and ordered Jashan to continue exploring.

The group continued walking deeper into the cave.

Along the way, they did not find any herbs or ores, everything was swept clean by the guy who explored these tunnels.

Finally, after exploring for almost an hour, the group smelled a faint stench and June confirmed,

“This smell belongs to the Diamond eyed Demonic spider. Let's move in that direction.”

Then everyone moved in the direction pointed by June.

Along the way, the stench got intense. After walking for a minute, the group finally reached the area where spider webs could be seen.

The group moved slowly and did not make any noise, so as to avoid alarming the Diamond eyed Demonic spider family.

The cave was dark and everyone’s vision was not so good, except for June’s.

June whispered in a low voice,

“You guys wait here; I will take care of those spiders.”

As everyone in the group is not able to see properly in the dark, and if they move further then there is a chance that the group could get ambushed or sneak attacked by the Diamond eyed Demonic spiders, so it would be better if June takes care of all the Diamond eyed Demonic spiders as she has high cultivation and she would be safer.

Soon, sounds of spiders screeching started echoing.

‘SCREACHHHH’

‘SCREACHHH’

‘KRRNN’

‘TTRRRR’

Everyone stayed back and did not move further so as not to disturb June.
