Leon still had some concerns.
Titus leaned back and said, "If you want to get beaten up, go ahead. Don't overthink it. Simone is so capable that she doesn't need useless trash like us to protect her. And if you follow her, Simone will definitely beat you up and be even more annoyed with you."
He knew his sister wouldn't hold back when it came to fighting.
Leon: "..." It hit him hard.
He realized that it made sense, so he could only sit back in disappointment.
The group continued playing cards, waiting for Simone to come back before taking turns resting.
On the other hand, Simone followed the map and made her way to the designated location.
Eventually, she arrived at a cliff.
Then, she took off the jade button from her neck.
She infused her energy into it.
And then, something magical happened.
Suddenly, the jade button shimmered with a layer of silver light, extending along Simone's feet and down the edge of the cliff.
It continued moving along the cliff.
Simone quickly followed.
Then, she took out her mountaineering tools from her backpack and started descending along the silver light.
After more than ten minutes, the silver light suddenly transformed into a complex pattern on the jade button and landed in a specific spot.
That spot happened to be a natural cave in the middle of the cliff.
Simone immediately jumped in.
The cave was pitch black, so she turned on her flashlight.
She walked for hundreds of yards inside the cave and discovered another smaller cave within.
Simone continued walking, but when she was about to enter the smaller cave, a force blocked her way, preventing her from taking a single step forward.
At the same time, she sensed the fluctuations of a formation within the smaller cave.
Simone tried to break it, but she couldn't.
She wasn't surprised and placed the jade button in the determined position of the formation's core.
Sure enough, the power of the formation gradually disappeared, and the restraining force vanished.
No wonder they said the jade button was the key. This is why.
Simone successfully entered.
There were no signs of anyone having been here before.
Even if someone discovered the cave on the cliff, they wouldn't be able to enter without the jade button.
As she walked further into the cave and turned a corner, she saw a bright exit ahead, as if it were daytime ahead.
Simone held the jade button in one hand and the negative energy blade coin in the other as she walked in.
She encountered no attacks or troubles but was instead amazed by the sight before her.
Ahead was a paradise, with lush vegetation, flowers everywhere, and a small stream flowing through. The air was much purer and fresher than outside.
If the geomancy master were here to practice, it would be of great help.
Simone walked towards the depths but didn't see any animals along the way.
Then she felt a strong aura as if life was gradually weakening and even disappearing.
She hurried towards it.
At the end of the stream, there was an open space.
On the ground lay a snake and an eagle radiating the Divine State aura.
Both of them were unusually large in size.
The snake was not an ordinary snake.
It was a snake with a body as red as a ruby, with a pair of transparent red wings growing from its body.
The snake was coiled around the eagle, and blood was flowing from near its tail.
The eagle had just died.
But the situation of the flying snake was not good either. Simone felt its life force fading away, and it seemed to be dying.
When the flying snake saw Simone, its gaze was initially cold.
It seemed as if it wanted to use its last bit of strength to fight her to the end.
No wonder the flying snake's aura is so strong.
Then, at the bottom of the snake's nest, she found a piece of animal skin.
She picked it up and saw that there was a letter written by her master's ancestor on it.
It said that he accidentally came to this mountain and saved a flying snake, forming a bond with it.
This was a good place for cultivation, and the flying snake agreed to let his descendants come here to cultivate.
He carved a jade button according to the appearance of the flying snake.
And he told the flying snake that whoever came in with the jade button should be allowed to stay and cultivate.
Because he was concerned about his family, he didn't stay.
Then, he established a formation in the deepest part of the cave, and only the person possessing the jade button could break through the formation.
Animals roamed freely, allowing the flying snake to come and go without restrictions.
He also made a pact with the flying snake not to harm humans.
No wonder there was an engraving of a flying snake on the jade button.
Upon laying eyes on the jade button, the flying snake's demeanor towards her instantly changed.
The "mountain god" mentioned in the legend should be none other than the flying snake, which safeguarded the animals in the mountains.
Simone had already attained the Divine State, and the aid she could receive here was limited.
Moreover, she had numerous tasks to complete and did not desire to live alone in this place.
While clutching the snake's egg, she took a leisurely stroll.
She stumbled upon some high-quality medicinal herbs, such as thousand-year-old ginseng.
She carved a wooden box, extracted a piece of ginseng, and placed it inside, affixing a talisman to preserve its medicinal properties.
Using the same approach, she unearthed several other beneficial medicinal herbs.
She bound a dozen wooden boxes together with vines and carried them on her back along with her bag.
Subsequently, she departed from this location.
She restored the previous formation, with the jade button remaining as the key to access this place.
Just as she completed all of this, she suddenly noticed that the egg in her arms had hatched.
