"How do you know so much yet still haven't grown up?"
Tang Rao was worried that saying this might hurt Little Hedgehog's feelings.
"The Array has recognized us, and then?"
The Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum is filled with the Immortal Emperor's Treasure, and just selling any of these casually would fetch a sky-high price. For someone as greedy for wealth as Tang Rao, he couldn't feel satisfied without taking items for himself.
"Then you can just take the things away."
Little Hedgehog said as if it was only natural.
"Just take the things away?"
So many things, and they all belong to Tang Rao? Not even a single condition attached.
It doesn't seem like the Immortal Emperor's style at all.
"There's a time limit to take the things. If you don't hurry, everything will be gone."
Little Hedgehog's words woke Tang Rao with a start.
"Then what are we waiting for? Didn't you say you're the best at treasure hunting? Quickly, help me take them!"
Tang Rao called out the Nine Tripod Snow Beast and little Fire Ginseng. However, the items inside the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum were immense, and they could only bring back the most valuable ones. A vast portion of the less valuable ones vanished like fleeting visions from their view.
"Luckily, we still managed to bring out so many things."
Little Hedgehog and little Fire Ginseng handed over the selected items to Tang Rao, but it was the Nine Tripod Snow Beast that was the most impressive. It carried everything on its body, utilizing every part of its body, even hanging strings of items on its front horn.
"Aoo~"
The Nine Tripod Snow Beast nudged up against Tang Rao flatteringly. Tang Rao took out two roasted chickens from the Space Ring and handed them to the Nine Tripod Snow Beast before taking the items off it.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp~"
Seeing that the Nine Tripod Snow Beast had something tasty, Little Hedgehog approached, asking Tang Rao for something too.
"You only did a little, so you get nothing."
Tang Rao rolled his eyes at Little Hedgehog; as if he hadn't seen Little Hedgehog's small tricks earlier.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp~"
Little Hedgehog was flustered and pulled out a Space Ring from its quills, handing it to Tang Rao, feeling aggrieved.
The little guy even had a Space Ring?
The ring hadn't recognized an owner, or perhaps it had, but the owner died, causing the Space Ring to automatically unlock.
Holding the Space Ring, Tang Rao was speechless for a long while.
"Truly a treasure hunting expert, Little Hedgehog, well done!"
Tang Rao had a hunch this was a Space Ring left by the Immortal Emperor before leaving, containing items used by the Ancient Taotie Immortal Emperor, complete with Divine Weapons and Divine Artifacts—everything Tang Rao could or couldn't imagine was prepared inside.
Even thinking about this makes life feel sweet.
"Here are ten roasted chickens. Eat whenever you want; consider it your reward."
Little Hedgehog was overjoyed by this.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp——"
It promised that whenever it found good stuff, Tang Rao would be the first to receive it.
The good stuff Little Hedgehog refers to would indeed be good stuff.
"Let's head out now; Brother Wang Ba and the others are still waiting outside. Let's not keep them too long."
After leaving the Immortal Emperor's main chamber, they found Ba Wangba and Wang He still struggling to decide which five things to select.
Aside from Ba Wangba, Wang He was similarly troubled, finding it hard to decide when coming across good items.
"Brother Wang Ba, Senior, have you made your choices?"
Tang Rao had obtained a great victory, but he was too modest to claim any rewards in front of them. He also didn't mention that this was the Ancient Taotie Immortal Emperor's tomb. Sharing less is Tang Rao's way of protecting and caring for them.
"I'm unsure what to choose; everything is too excellent, and having to pick only five is distressing!"
Ba Wangba was even more troubled than old Hezi. The old man casually took some items despite hesitating a bit. Ba Wangba, on the other hand, was reluctant to part with anything. It wasn't until Tang Rao emerged that Ba Wangba hastily chose five items and took them.
"Didn't you just make your choice? Some things need to follow your heart. Let's go; some things are meant to be left in the heavens. Leaving them behind may not be a bad thing."
Tang Rao and the others had a more challenging task ahead.
Overcome the difficulties of the third region and proceed towards the fourth, defeat everyone, and strive to save Chen Ajiu.
It's easy to say each phrase, but putting them all together truly illustrates the difficulties Tang Rao faces.
"Let's move on, leave the rest to the earth."
Ba Wangba also accepted this fact.
"What about you, Little Hedgehog? Do you want to come with me or stay here?"
Tang Rao was reluctant to part with Little Hedgehog, but each immortal beast has its life habits, and Tang Rao didn't want to disrupt the ecological balance.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"
Hearing that Tang Rao was leaving, Little Hedgehog clung to his leg and refused to let go.
"You want to come with me? Outside isn't as simple as the Tropical Rainforest, maybe even costing you your life while playing."
Tang Rao explained all potential dangers to Little Hedgehog, leaving the decision to join or not up to him.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp."
Little Hedgehog still wanted to follow Tang Rao.
He wanted to leave the Tropical Rainforest.
A feeling told him that only by following Tang Rao could he become a person of significance, widely respected even in the Tropical Rainforest.
"Alright, then I'll take you along, in hopes of having a helping hand in the future."
Tang Rao compromised with this little guy, although little Fire Ginseng wanted to protest, but Tang Rao pushed him back firmly.
"Fine, consider it having an old ally to fight alongside."
Little Fire Ginseng pouted, knowing there's yet another person now to share food.
"Brother Tang Rao, can't we spend another two days searching for Heavenly Treasure in the Tropical Rainforest? It's just been one day and you're preparing to move on?"
Ba Wangba didn't have enough treasure hunting and discussed this with Tang Rao.
"I asked Little Hedgehog earlier. The Tropical Rainforest has only one place with Heavenly Treasures, which is its cave. The cave's items are all used up, so there's no point staying here any longer."
So that's what it was, Ba Wangba finally understood Tang Rao's intention.
"Brother, the third region is perilous, not only facing natural disasters but also warding against human manipulation. It's your first time here; you need to be extra cautious."
Wang He was familiar with this place, visiting for leisure, unlike Tang Rao, who sought ranking. Their pursuits were different, and thus, their Mental Realms varied.
"Senior's words, this junior will surely remember."
Walking ahead, Wang He's advice made sense. In the Ice and Snow World, the least reliable thing is human nature, and the thing to guard against the most is human nature.
Tang Rao's aspirations were set too high, and the road ahead grew ever more daunting. What strong opponents they would encounter was uncertain at that moment.
Upon entering the third region, Tang Rao immediately smelled a heavy stench of blood.
"There's something going on ahead."
Wang He's sensory capabilities were extraordinary, with his perception far more acute than Tang Rao's.
"I noticed it too."
