Chapter 170 Entering the Cave
"Senior Brother, there's a cave entrance over here! Come and see!" As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples immediately gathered around to look.
The cave entrance was about the height of a person, and the surrounding area was covered with moss. It didn't look particularly special.
"Let's go in! But listen to me, everyone be careful when you go in. There might be traps or something inside, so don't move around." Bai Ke instructed.
"understand!"
Bai Ke led his disciples and went first into the cave. Once inside, all he could see was a very ordinary cultivation cave.
In the center of the cave was a table with some simple scriptures on it. Behind the table was a stone bed with a mattress and a small sitting cushion.
Perhaps because no one has been here for a long time, a thick layer of dust has settled on the table, and the legs are covered with cobwebs.
The mattress on this stone bed was also faded and very worn.
Looking around, the walls were gray, with only a few ivy vines hanging on them and a few half-burnt candles on the stone nails. There was nothing else there.
"It doesn't look special at all. It's just a cave that was once used for ancient cultivation. Judging from the amount of dust accumulated here, no one has been here for a long time, at least several thousand years."
One of the disciples held up a torch that had just been lit outside, illuminating the scene inside, and spoke.
"If it were just an ordinary ancient cultivator's cave, how could it have caused the wolf demon to mutate, and how could it have such a yin-energy bead? Keep searching, there might be others."
Upon hearing this, everyone took torches and continued their search. Bai Ke carefully examined the cave, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Suddenly, Bai Ke noticed that the ivy branches on one of the walls were swaying gently, as if a breeze was blowing.
However, there was not a single draft in the cave, and even the entrance was completely blocked by wild grass, so where was the wind coming from!
Bai Ke stared at the direction in which the vine leaves were being blown, then looked in the opposite direction and saw a bare wall.
Bai Ke walked to the wall and pushed it with his hand, but it wouldn't budge. Could there be some kind of mechanism?
But the disciples have searched the area and found nothing unusual. How can we solve this?
"Huh? Break...? I've got it! Why didn't I think of that before? Why do I have to look for this entrance? I've already determined the location. I'll just break through this wall. This wall is just an illusion. It can't really stop me, can it?" Bai Ke thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Bai Ke stopped hesitating and instructed the disciple by the wall to step back. Then, he channeled his spiritual energy into his palms and swung them at the wall with all his might.
At first, the wall seemed perfectly still and without any movement. But after a short while, cracks began to appear on the wall, and the cracks grew larger and larger, quickly spreading across the entire wall.
With a loud "boom", the entire wall began to collapse. Caught off guard, everyone staggered and lost their balance. Fortunately, other disciples around them helped each other up, preventing them from falling.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiuzheng and his men were searching aimlessly in the Beast Forest when they suddenly heard a loud crash, as if something had collapsed.
Lin Xiu hesitated for a moment, then asked the disciples beside him, "Did you hear that commotion just now?"
"Reporting to Senior Brother, I heard it. It was a very loud sound, as if it came from the depths of the forest not far from us."
"Could it be that Bai Ke and his group have already found them so quickly?" After thinking about this, he immediately thought, "No, we can't let them succeed so easily."
"Let's go, we can't let them take all the credit. Stay close!" After saying that, the group started to rush towards the direction where Bai Ke and the others were.
At this moment, Bai Ke looked at the passage that had suddenly appeared before him after the wall was destroyed.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ke had an expression that said, "As expected." Ignoring everyone's surprise, he didn't hesitate any longer and instructed his disciples to enter the passage in an orderly manner and to be careful. After speaking, he took the lead and went in first.
The passage was damp and slippery, so the group had to proceed slowly.
Bai Ke, holding a lit tinderbox, led the group forward step by step. Suddenly, they heard a rustling sound ahead, as if something was there!
Before anyone could react, they heard the sound getting closer and closer, heading in their direction.
"Watch out!" Bai Ke had barely finished speaking when something suddenly rushed out from the bend ahead with lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Ke quickly channeled his inner energy to create a protective shield that surrounded his disciples.
After the group of creatures flew past, Bai Ke looked in the direction they had gone and said, "Those that just passed by were probably blood bats, which are highly poisonous."
If you've just been bitten, you're probably in for a rough time.
In my opinion, they were acting this way because they sensed someone had entered. Luckily, I reacted quickly enough that no one was hurt by those things. You all need to be even more vigilant and careful.”
After saying that, he led his disciples to continue walking forward.
After an incense stick had burned out, the group finally emerged from the passage. Upon exiting, a palace immediately came into view.
The pillars of the main hall were all made of gold, and the floor was paved with the finest jade.
The main hall is illuminated by luminous pearls on both sides, and the tables, chairs, benches, and beds inside are all inlaid with agate and gemstones.
Looking at the magnificent palace before him, Bai Ke couldn't help but chuckle. This... is it really an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling?
This palace looks even better than the main hall of the Mo Yun Kingdom. No, compared to this, the palace of the Mo Yun Kingdom is simply not worth mentioning.
Although the palace was so luxurious, it was still filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Looking at the scene before him, and thinking of the Beast Forest and Anning Village, Bai Ke suddenly understood.
It's likely that the protective array of this ancient cultivation cave was damaged for some reason, which allowed the nearby wolf demons to discover it. The bead was probably placed inside that tree hole at the time, and after the wolf demons found it, they took the bead away.
As it turned out, the bead was abnormal, like a virus, capable of mutating wolf demons, and the Hu Yi wolf demon was also infected.
Subsequently, the warrior from Moyun Kingdom came to the Netherworld Beast Forest and accidentally discovered the bead hidden by the wolf demon. Thinking it was a treasure, he took it away.
Who would have thought that the bead could bewitch people, just like Ling Feng, who didn't recognize anyone.
It is feared that of the many warriors from the Moyun Kingdom who entered this beast forest, only one escaped, not only because of the wolf demon, but also because they killed each other after being bewitched by the bead.
This bead must have been a contingency plan left by the ancient cultivator before his death. By releasing this Yin Spirit Bead, he could allow it to absorb death energy and then transform into a ghost cultivator.
