But in the very next moment, something even more bizarre occurred.
The eleven members of the Holy Miraculous Cave All but simultaneously withdrew the hands they had placed inside their Dantians.
The moment their hands came out, the damaged Dantians immediately repaired themselves.
They remained completely unharmed, and in their hands, an object had appeared.
It was something resembling a stone.
A fragment — Chu Feng could tell that it must have been some sort of supreme treasure, split into eleven pieces.
If the fragments were reunited, the treasure could be restored.
"These fellows actually hid their treasure inside their Dantians?"
Chu Feng was thoroughly astonished.
Though he had no idea how the Holy Miraculous Cave had pulled it off, they had truly turned their Dantians into something like Universe Bags.
They could store treasures inside and open them at will without suffering any damage to their cultivation or their bodies.
Chu Feng finally understood why, back in the Spirit Abyss Gate, he had confiscated all their Universe Bags yet found nothing but junk inside.
All of their treasures had been stored in their Dantians.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
At that moment, the leader of the Holy Miraculous Cave formed a hand seal with one hand and tossed the fragment forward.
The other ten followed suit immediately.
Soon, the fragments came together and actually formed a peculiar creature.
The creature resembled a white, chubby dog, but its nose was enormous — like a pig's snout.
In fact, it was several times larger than a typical pig's snout.
The creature appeared to be alive and did not seem to be a fake existence.
Yet it stood there, completely motionless, like a statue.
Moreover, no aura could be detected from it, as though it didn't exist at all.
In short, this thing was rather eerie.
"You guys are way too cautious, hiding your treasures inside your Dantians."
"Tell me, how did you pull off something so bizarre?"
However, compared to this strange creature with the massive pig-like snout that also looked like a dog, what Chu Feng found even more intriguing was how the Holy Miraculous Cave had managed to place their treasures inside their Dantians.
"Heh heh, Brother Shura, this is our brothers' natural talent. You absolutely must not try to learn it — you wouldn't be able to."
"That's right, don't even think about it. If you tried, you'd lose your cultivation for sure."
The members of the Holy Miraculous Cave said this with grins on their faces, looking thoroughly proud of themselves.
"And what exactly does this thing do?" Chu Feng asked, pointing at the peculiar creature.
"This thing is called the Universe Great-Nose Beast. It counts as a supreme treasure."
"It can use its sense of smell to sniff out certain dangerous things."
"But it can only be used once, so we brothers wouldn't normally activate it unless it was a critical moment."
"However, at this point, it seems there's no other option. We'll have to rely on it to scout the way," the leader of the Holy Miraculous Cave said.
"Then let's get started," Chu Feng said.
"Brother Shura, release a strand of your sealing power and link it to the Universe Great-Nose Beast. That way, when it begins sensing the dangerous aura, you'll share the same perception and be able to gauge the situation here," the leader said.
"Very well."
