Chapter 2007. Stone Statue
Han Sen didn’t like doing it, but he still ran inside the valley. The speed of the rabbit shoes quickly brought him beneath the little valley’s tree.
Han Sen leaped atop the tree, using the Dongxuan Aura to look inside the hole. He noticed that it was quite spacious within and that most of the tree was hollow.
However, there was no lifeforce or treasure to be seen.
Han Sen did not want to give up on this pursuit, though. If the Eating Rat could give the Stone Cow a pebble every day, there had to be more of them somewhere. Han Sen used his Ghost Teeth Knife to carve out the entrance of the hole.
He widened it enough for him to fit through, then stuck his head inside.
The tree was even more hollow than he thought. Its trunk was hollow all the way down to the ground, where a rocky cave appeared.
With no hesitation, Han Sen wormed his way into the tree through the hole and started climbing down. Quickly, he descended into the cave.
Han Sen lowered himself into the cave, which led off through a crooked tunnel. Not long after, the tunnel opened up and Han Sen discovered a big natural cave beyond it. It was the size of an air-raid shelter.
Han Sen moved in to get a better look. There were no signs of living creatures about, but he did detect the remnants of the Eating Rat’s presence.
