Moreover, these hostile forces might already be engaging in secret transactions involving massive amounts of money and conspiring against Mo Zhu Mountain, even forming alliances for action!
How likely are these assumptions?
Is there more, more accurate evidence?
As Li Fan's thoughts raced, he efficiently used a jade pendant to collect the crocodile's corpse and tried to take possession of the silk garments it was wearing, but got no response. It was likely either an expensive enchanted robe belonging to someone or protected by some kind of anti-theft spell. Thus, he strung the nine storage jade pendants with his own jade ornament and carried them with him. Then he glanced at the compass.
Now Li Fan had two thoughts in mind.
One was to turn back immediately and report the issues to Bamboo Mountain. The other was to continue heading west.
Because that was where the compass pointed.
One hundred thousand coins were not yet the end; to the west, there might be more opportunities.
