“Fang Lin! Are you doing this on purpose?” Yang Qingyao questioned angrily, looking down at Fang Lin from her lofty position.

Fang Lin lifted his head, looking puzzled at Yang Qingyao. What’s with this silly woman now?

Yang Qingyao pointed at Fang Lin: “Since you had a way to deal with those skeletons, why didn’t you use it earlier? Did you intentionally want harm us royals?”

At her words, Fang Lin was rendered speechless. This woman was really unreasonable, not only was she simple-minded but also incapable of discerning right from wrong.

“Instead of accusing me, you might as well deal with the remaining skeletons.” Fang Lin said helplessly.

Yang Qingyao shot Fang Lin an angry look before heading off to face the ordinary skeletons.

Thirteen giant skeletons slowly dissolved into a yellow liquid. Without the threat of these giant skeletons, the other ordinary skeletons became much easier to handle.

Besides, these thirteen giant skeletons seemed to be the leaders of the ordinary skeletons. As they gradually corroded and vanished, the movements of the ordinary skeletons also began to slow down.

When the thirteen giant skeletons completely turned into yellow liquid without leaving a trace, the ordinary skeletons all fell apart instantly and turned into bone fragments.

The crisis was completely resolved, leaving everyone utterly exhausted. Many were injured and began to sit on the ground for rest.

Although the air in the cave became somewhat stinky, no one cared anymore; they just wanted to rest.

Since everyone entered the Endless Dungeon, they had remained on high alert, experiencing numerous crises. Even Qing Jianzi and Yang Pojun had reached their limits.

The skeletons in the cave had been eliminated, making it the safest place to rest for the moment.

Yang Qingyao came over again, still not giving Fang Lin any good looks, regarding him coldly.

Fang Lin sat on the ground, couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her. He had worked hard to defeat thirteen giant skeletons, but Yang Qingyao was not appreciative and instead vented her resentment on him. There was nothing he could do about it.

“Fang Lin, if you don’t give me an explanation, this matter won’t be over.” Yang Qingyao gritted her teeth.

“Qingyao, stop causing a fuss!” Yang Pojun joined them.

Yang Qingyao pointed at a royal disciple who had died not far away: “Fourth Brother, Fang Lin clearly did it intentionally. If he had made a move earlier, we wouldn’t have lost one of our royal disciples!”

Yang Pojun furrowed his brow and said, “Fang Lin has helped us a great deal. The death of Qingyun has nothing to do with him.”

Yang Qingyao’s face was overcast. She never thought Yang Pojun would react that way, disappointment was evident in her eyes.

“Fang Lin, my younger cousin has been a bit rude. The one who died, Qingyun, was her brother, so she was a little out of control. I hope you don’t hold it against her.” Yang Pojun said to Fang Lin.

Fang Lin waved his hand and did not say much.

“Fang Lin, what was it that you used just now?” Qing Jianzi asked.

Fang Lin smiled: “It was Bone Corrosion Powder that I prepared. Originally, I had intended to use it against some individual, but ended up using it on those big guys. The results seem quite good.”

Hearing Fang Lin’s words, Gu Hanshan, who was not far away, felt a chill down his back and was inwardly alerted.

Qing Jianzi furrowed his brows upon hearing this and turned his gaze towards Gu Hanshan.

“Gu Hanshan, why didn’t you act earlier? Were you hoping we would all die here?” Qing Jianzi asked in an icy tone.

Gu Hanshan scoffed: “I was entangled by those skeletons earlier and had no chance to act.”

Upon hearing this, Qing Jianzi laughed sarcastically, nodding repeatedly: “Very good. But since you didn’t help this time, when you encounter danger in the future, I’ll be sure to stand idly by.”

Gu Hanshan did not argue; the others also distanced themselves from him, seemingly ostracizing him.

Seeing this, Gu Hanshan naturally felt annoyed. He wanted to lose his temper, but the timing wasn’t right. He needed to remain patient.

The royal had lost one individual, and the Purple Mist Sect wasn’t faring much better having lost two disciples from the Pill Sect.

No wonder, the disciples of the Pill Sect were relatively weaker. In the chaotic scene that had just ensued, no one could guarantee that they wouldn’t lose anyone.

After cleaning up the bodies of the deceased, everyone sat on the ground and took the opportunity to rest.

Some looked lost, some seemed nervous, while others appeared numb.

Fang Lin looked around, sighing. The Endless Dungeon was indeed no easy place. The dangers were too numerous, and they needed to be very careful with every step they took.

Fang Lin wanted to curse. Who had claimed there’s endless opportunities in the Endless Dungeon? Until now, they had only encountered endless danger, not a single opportunity had arisen.

“Look at the walls around us, quickly!” Suddenly, someone exclaimed enthusiastically, unable to hide his joy.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at their surroundings. The next moment, their faces were filled with ecstatic expressions.

“Am I seeing this right? So many ginsengs?”

“Wow! These ginsengs are so big, they must be very old.”

“The quantity is just too much! So many!”

Everyone started to comment, including Fang Lin and the others, who were stunned looking at the abundant ginsengs.

Various sizes of ginsengs were growing on the cave walls. Previously, due to too many skeletons, the ginsengs were not visible. But now they were discovered by everyone.

“Do not move rashly! First, let’s observe the situation!” Qing Jianzi, with his high vigilance, warned everyone not to recklessly touch those ginsengs.

Hearing this, everyone immediately calmed down. The ginsengs were indeed good, but their presence in such a place was obviously strange.

“Let me have a look.” Fang Lin said, then reached into his Nine Palace Bag, donning a pair of black gloves.

Fang Lin slowly moved toward the wall covered with ginseng. The ones higher up were bigger, and a rich aroma of ginseng filled the air as he approached.

Sniffing the fragrance of the ginseng, Fang Lin perked up. Judging by the smell, the ginseng should be alright.

Next, Fang Lin plucked a medium-sized ginseng off the wall, carefully examining it in his hand.

A moment later, Fang Lin confirmed that it was indeed ginseng without any problems.

Of course, Fang Lin was very cautious. He checked the ginsengs on the wall again to ensure there was no doubt before he went back.

“Yes, they are all ginsengs.” Fang Lin casually tossed the ginseng in his hand to Yang Pojun, speaking with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone became somewhat excited, especially the Pill Sect disciples whose eyes sparkled, clearly wanting to rush over and sweep through everything.

But they couldn’t help it. Being Pill Refiners, seeing so many ginsengs, especially those large and full ones, naturally made them very excited.

Members of the royal family were also pleased. After experiencing so many dangers, they could finally reap some rewards.

“Erm, what is that thing?” One royal disciple pointed to the wall on the left, asking weakly.

Hearing this, Fang Lin and the others all looked in the direction he pointed.

“My God!” Fang Lin’s eyes bulged, he couldn’t help but exclaim.
