Chapter 170: Shock! Treasure Inside the Cave!
Roar! ! !
The gorilla, over twenty meters tall, suddenly appeared in the cave. It was entirely black, its fur resembling countless hard steel needles, with thick limbs and two enormous tusks, making it truly awe-inspiring.
"Captain! If I'm not mistaken, this is the leader of this group of gorillas!"
Slad's eyes turned serious; his size didn't allow him to continue his carefree, joking manner.
"Damn! Did I even need to guess? Slade! His physique is about to burst this cave!"
Mu Chong rolled his eyes at Slad, then immediately fixed his gaze on the gorilla in front of him. Mu Chong wasn't worried about the guy launching a sneak attack; with such a massive body, it was impossible for him to move quickly in this confined space.
"Hey! Big guy! Can we sit down and talk?"
Roar! ! !
boom! boom! boom!
Mu Chong's words caused the twenty-meter-tall gorilla to roar in fury, pounding its chest and stamping its feet. Instantly, the entire cave began to shake, threatening to collapse.
hum!
"I said! Quiet down! I don't want to be buried alive in this cave!"
As Mu Chong spoke, an aura of supreme dominance, like a surging, overwhelming wave, crashed down upon the gorilla.
Click!
Black and red lightning filled the entire cave. Wherever this force passed, the original gorillas fell to the ground one after another, like Clow Cards.
Even the gorilla leader in front of Mu Chong stopped roaring, its eyes revealing a human-like look of disbelief.
"Tch! The captain's Conqueror's Haki has increased again! It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others!"
Looking at the scene created by Mu Chong's Conqueror's Haki, Slad shook his head enviously and muttered to himself.
"Hey, can you shut up now, you big guy!"
Roar! !
Boom!
As if understanding Mu Chong's words, the gorilla leader's face contorted with panic as Mu Chong took a step forward.
"Hmm?? Hahahaha! Captain! This guy seems to have been won over by you! Look at that expression, he looks like he's been wronged!"
The gorilla's actions and expressions made Slad, who was standing nearby, burst out laughing and said...
"Tch! Pretty smart, huh! No wonder, with that kind of physique, who knows how long it's been, it's not surprising that he has some human intelligence!"
Mu Chong rested his chin on his hand, sizing up the large man in front of him. It must have been his Conqueror's Haki that had intimidated him.
"Hey! Do you have any treasure here? I mean something that looks shiny, or round, square, or long!"
"what?"
"What?!"
Mu Chong gestured wildly at the big guy, and his bizarre actions left Slad and Baku speechless. What was their captain doing? Was he communicating with a gorilla?
roar?!!
Boom!Boom!Boom!
But just as the two were about to tease Mu Chong, the burly man in front of them suddenly adopted a thoughtful expression, then slowly turned around and walked into the cave.
"No way?!"
"captain???"
"Hahahaha! You two! The world is truly full of wonders! What's there to doubt? Why don't you go and see for yourselves?"
The big guy's reaction surprised all three of them. The two instinctively looked at Mu Chong, while Mu Chong laughed and followed him.
"This! This is unbelievable!!"
Slad and Baku exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. However, without hesitation, they followed Mu Chong inside.
The cave was large, surrounded by smooth stone walls, with a few open openings in the ceiling that provided light.
Curious, Mu Chong and his two companions followed the gorilla leader deeper into the cave. They passed a pool of water, and then the cave suddenly plunged into darkness, with waves of heat constantly emanating from it, as if it were on fire.
"Hmm? This smell is rather peculiar, it has a volcanic ash smell, and this mountain does resemble a volcano!"
The heat wave that hit him made Mu Chong frown, and he said softly to the two people beside him.
"Huh? A volcano?? Will it erupt, Captain!"
Upon hearing this, Baku paused, immediately turned to look at Mu Chong, and asked in a low voice.
"Hmm! Not sure yet! However, considering the way these gorillas live here, this volcano is probably extinct. It's okay to be careful!"
Mu Chong's words made the two people beside him relax slightly, and then they followed behind him more carefully.
Roar!
After following the gorilla leader for nearly a hundred meters, they turned a corner, and suddenly the light returned. However, the scene before them immediately took the three of them by surprise.
"This!! This is outrageous, Captain!"
What came into view of the three was a huge magma crater about fifty meters in diameter. The bright red magma churning inside was breathtaking, and gusts of scorching air blew against the clothes of Mu Chong and the others.
"You were right, Captain! It really is a volcanic cave. But it's amazing that these gorillas can live here!"
Upon seeing the lava crater, Slard involuntarily took a step forward, looking around anxiously, and then spoke.
boom!
Just as Slard finished speaking, the gorilla leader walked to a spacious area on the right side of the lava pit and plopped down.
Roar!
Click!
Rumble!
Then, to the astonishment of the three, it raised its massive forepaw and moved a huge rock aside. The rock rolled twice and disappeared into the lava.
To the astonishment of Mu Chong and his companions, beneath the overturned stone lay countless glittering treasures.
"What?! These gorillas have collected so much treasure? But they can't spend it, so what's the point of collecting all this stuff?"
The moment Baku saw the treasure, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Hahahaha! Not bad, not bad! It wasn't a waste of my trip. Let's go! Let's take a look!"
Mu Chong didn't care why these gorillas had collected so much treasure; the principle of "whoever finds it gets a share" had to be followed to the end today.
"Hahaha! You truly are my captain!"
Slad laughed loudly and followed Mu Chong to the location where the treasure was piled up, with Baku close behind.
Of course, when the three stood beside the treasure, they were shocked again, because beneath the pile of treasure was a deep pit, and even as the treasure filled the pit, so much of it was still sticking out—it was simply incredible!
Splash!
"Hahahaha! We're rich! We're rich! Although it's not as much as what we got on the Sky Island, this is enough for our next voyage!"
Slade reached out and scooped up a handful of gold and pele, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
"roar?!!"
Just then, the gorilla leader, sitting to the side, looked down at the three happy little ones below. He lowered his head slightly, a thoughtful look appearing in his large eyes.
"Ok?"
Sensing something amiss, Mu Chong looked up at the gorilla leader, and the two locked eyes.
"Roar!!!"
The gorilla leader's large eyes flickered, then it slowly raised one forepaw, extending a finger and pointing to the churning lava pit beside it.
"Huh? What do you mean? A lava pit?"
Mu Chong was a little confused by the gorilla leader's actions. What was this guy gesturing about?
"Huh? Captain! This huge thing isn't going to make you jump into the lava, is it?"
Baku held a palm-sized piece of gold in his hand, looked up at the gorilla leader, and couldn't help but ask...
"wrong!"
Mu Chong frowned slightly, looked up at the gorilla's expression and movements again, then his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he leaped into the air, instantly reaching a position level with the gorilla leader's head.
Then, Mu Chong's gaze followed the direction the gorilla leader was pointing.
"Huh? Huh? Holy crap?!"
