Jin An saw a cold energy source on the corner of the wall. But when he touched the wall, he found out that the source seemed to be from inside the wall.
He tried to break the wall but he found it surprisingly hard. Even when he used some force, he found it still intake with no cracks.
He took a deep breath. Then, he turned to Yu Zhe and said. "Yu Zhe, get ready to run."
"What?!!" Yu Zhe was puzzled.
But before, he could react, Jin An punch the wall so hard.
Boomm....
The sound of his punch was so loud that it spread across the whole mine.
At the same time, inside the military drill camp many people were sleeping.
Boom.....
Suddenly, they heard a loading explosion just a few distance away.
The first to got up was the general, stationed at the camp.
Soon, series of bells rang and all the soldiers got up and frantically started looking around.
Inside the cave room, Jin An and Yu Zhe found a dark green fruit. And it was glowing.
They did not even have time to appreciate the beauty of it. Jin An quickly took it inside the inventory. Then both of them frantically ran out of the room.
Inside the camp, a soldier reported the details. "General, the sound is coming from the old mine. We think the mine must have collapsed."
"Stupid, then why are you guys ringing the bell so loud." The general scolded the soldier in an angry voice. "Humph, all these stupid people."
"Leave." He shouted.
"Yes." The soldier bowed and hurriedly ran out of the tent.
But before he could fully leave the tent, he heard the general spoke again. "Just to make sure it was just the old mine collapsing, send someone to look." He ordered.
"Yes, general." The solder left the tent.
Inside the tent, the general's demeanor quickly changed. He turned to the dim side of the tent and said. "Go check out if the treasure is still there. If not, we all are going to be severely punish."
From the shadows, a figure emerged and said. "Why do you think like that. Unless, a its Dharma Body Realm expert, nothing will happen to the treasure. And besides, if a Dharma expert were to cross the area, we will get the alarm."
"I know that. Just go and make sure it it there." The General's voice was a bit dominant this time.
On the other side, Jin An and Yu Zhe were frantically running in the forest. They even used their top most super speed.
Finally, after running for more than 30 minutes, they arrived near the giant stone gate of Jade Forest City.
The stopped there for a couple of seconds, just to catch their breathe.
Then, they quickly entered the city. And continued running back to the inn.
Only after they reached the inn did they felt a sense of relief. They ran back quickly, not because they were afraid, they just did not want to bring troubles to themselves.
Jin An and Yu Zhe did not say much and quickly entered their own rooms, silently.
Inside the room, Jin An clicked on his inventory.
[Inventory:100 Low Spirit Stones, a treasure map, martial arts book, Magma Bead, Unidentified treasure.]
Jin An looked at the Unidentified treasure and said to the system. "Identify the treasure."
[Identifying the treasure....3...2...1..]
[Ding!

Looking at the data of the treasure, Jin An felt the adventure was worth it.
With a smile, he closed rhe system and went to sleep.
On the other side, inside the broken cave room, a man in dark red clothing was frantically searching something.
As time went on, his expression became even more grave.
Finally, he shouted out loudly and punched the ground.
Ahh....
Boom....
Huh...huh...huh..
He took several fast breathes and tried to calm himself. But his grave expression was still there.
After standing there for about 10 minutes, he left the broken cave room.
5 minutes later, inside the military tent of the general.
A man in dark red clothes was bowing towards the general and was reporting something.
It was the same man who was searching inside the broken room, he was reporting what he found inside the room. "General, we are in a big trouble. The treasure has been stolen."
Slam...
"WHAT!!?" The general slammed the table when he heard the report and quickly stood up.
He stood there with both his fists tighten. His expression was the same as the man in red, extremely grave.
After a silence, he spoke in a cold voice. "We need to find it before our lord finds out about it."
"Mobilize all the troops and search the whole city and forest for anything. And don't let anyone leave the city without checking."
"Now, go."
"Yes." The man in red quickly left the tent, leaving the general alone in the room.
After the man, the general's expression changed from grave to scared. On the outside, he was just tough but inside? Bleh....
With his legs shaking, he thought. 'I should leave before that damn devil put the blame one me.'
'I mean it's not my fault the treasure is gone.' He quickly walked around the room and gathered all his clothings, ready for his escape.
The next morning.
A sudden knock on his door, woke Jin An up.
He opened the door slowly, with a yawn.
Before he could fully opened the door and understand the situation, a group of soldiers burst into his room.
Without any words, they searched his room.
But in the simple room, they could not find anything.
Then, one soldier reported. "This room is clear."
The same thing happened in Yu Zhe's room too.
Without a word, they left the room.
The whole time, none of the soldiers informed him what was the checking was about. That was Jin An's outside expression. Inside, he was smiling.
