Kapitel 34: i leveled up to 'salted fish'

the expedition continues, we stroll deeper insider carefully with higher expectations, we had already guessed that this cave contains numerous treasures, we would be too silly not to take this opportunity to plow them for ourselves, we got a taboo bloody orb, a system segment, and a devil ability, all are extraordinary, imagining what we can get deeper makes me so excited.

Li Xiang looking at the bright smile plastered on Erha couldn't help but think of a greedy kitten he gave food to it every morning when he goes to school, the kitten will follow him all the way even though it was fat and old, the cat will follow me when she smells food on me but won't give me a look when I have none.

he always felt that it's weird how Erha acts like a kitten when he's a fish, was he a cat in his past life?

"what do you think we're gonna find next?"

"I don't know but I wish to have as many useful treasures to help us survive the catastrophes"

"the many the better, that way we can enjoy our retirement, you can live on a small island like Kamé Sennin from dragon ball, we can be neighbors !!!", I say waving both my hands

" kame? dragon ball? is that someone you know?", Li exclaims, he had never heard of this person or this dragon ball

"that...ehh he's just an old man who once lived on a tiny island ", I said no lie, after all, he does exist in the anime, apparently, this world doesn't have the same culture as ours.

" can we ride your motorcycle ?", I ask Li

"ok"

hours passed but nothing appeared, no monsters, no treasures, nothing, let me wonder how deep is this sinkhole

'grrrl', my stomach is pleading hungry," I'm hungry, I wanna eat barbecue!!"

"time to take some rest, what barbecue do you want to eat?"

" Skirt steak with green sauce!!!!!", I cried with stars shining in my eyes

"that .... I don't have the ingredients, you choose another one", Li passionately suggest

"Barbecue lamb cutlets with seaweed butter!!!", I instantly say

"..... I don't have seaweed on me", explains Li with a blank face

" Lamb al asador with chimichurri and sweet potato wedges!!!"

"..al what..?!!", Li exclaim, "you know what, let's have a plain barbecue with what I have, how does that sound?"

"as long it is a barbecue with meat, I don't mind"

I wonder why he asks my opinion all the time, especially when he doesn't have all the ingredients, obviously, we live in the apocalypse, food is scarce yet he still insists to give me the best, anyone should know that in my past world I didn't get such care, the food I eat with Li Ge is x10 time better then what I eat, sometimes I only eat two full meals a day.

still, I attend to let him indulge me, I'll be an idiot not to!! my dream to be salted fish can be achieved !!!

after we ate I got sleepy too bad we can't sleep here, 3 minutes after riding the motorcycle, another earthquake shook the underground, ghostly screams rushed with strong wind, sending shivers to everyone inside and near the cave.

" the appearance of a treasure !!!", li Xiang says, this is exactly what happened when the obsidian stone appeared but isn't the timeline going too fast?!

he speeds up going straight to the source following the ghostly winds, they need to get there before anyone, Li Xiang had already guessed that the monsters he had seen before had all come seeking the treasures here if I don't hurry I'm afraid it will be snatched by them.

"hold me tight, I'll be going faster", Li warns Erha turns his head back, put on some of his spiritual energy into the motorcycle, the motorcycle is now sonic speeding that if anyone was passing by he won't be able to see a bit of it shadow.

after passing the interconnected by enterable passages, we reached a very large chamber, giant vines intertwined forming a tree-like shape, the material is unknown, had deep black as a color, in the middle a giant black pointy stone was floating.

the goal is clear, the obsidian rock is in reach, but why we dare not get closer?

"Li Ge? what do we do?"

"Leave it to me, get ready we are dropping the original plan of venturing deeper, after I snatch we will directly teleport out of here, no we will teleport farther !!

"got it, you be sure to activate all the shields at once, go now!! I sense several breaths getting closer!!!", I cried when I sensed multiple breaths

Li directly activate devil mode, gets enshrouded in black before returning to normal except for his red eyes and darker hair, the pressure disappeared letting Li Xiang flash in front of the obsidian rock, originally with the gravity pushing from all direction, fixing the stone, moving it needs monstrous impact power which is difficult to achieve even for Li , but with the devil form his power doubles

I really could move it now but can't hold it, there is no time so he activates the same shield he used when he got the orb, put it on the stone and himself to reduce the gravity

he can now hold it but walking is impossible so he takes the last teleport ticket he had, attending to use it to teleport to the allocated site, but his eyes caught a blur going toward Erha so he uses the teleport ticket to show up behind Erha , receiving the blow

'BAAAM'

Li Xiang crushes to the wall with the stone in his hand

"Li Ge!!!", I yell, I then felt danger from my left, without delay i also use an escape talisman then jump, increasing my probability to escape the hit and i really did.

the humanoid wearing insect-like armor was also chocked, right after I wanted to take this opportunity to find Li Xiang

"Erha!!hurry, use the teleport talisman to get out of here !!!!", Li Xiang's shouts
