Chapter 144 Hidden Cave
The afterglow of the fireworks seemed to have covered the world with a layer of dreamy veil, and those brilliant lights, when falling, miraculously turned into a crystal clear waterfall, pouring down from a great height, like an inverted Milky Way, which was extremely beautiful.
This waterfall not only adds a bit of vitality and vigor to the dark forest, but also cleverly conceals the existence of the cave entrance in an unexpected way.
The entrance of the cave lies quietly behind the waterfall, like a secret forgotten by time, waiting to be discovered by the right person.
The waterfall was like a natural barrier, protecting the secrets of the cave entrance while testing the courage and wisdom of the explorers. Xinghan looked at this scene with awe and curiosity in his heart. He knew that the real challenge had just begun.
Before the waterfall, there is a more subtle existence——
A barrier like water light.
This barrier was different from the previous sun's scorching heat and power. It appeared softer and more mysterious, as if it was formed by countless tiny water droplets, flashing a faint blue light, isolating the cave entrance from the outside world.
Xinghan could feel that there was an indescribable power contained in this barrier. It was both a test for him and the only way to reach the cave entrance.
Jin Qiu looked at the white waterfall pouring down from a height, her eyes sparkling with wonder and joy. She couldn't help but exclaim:
"Wow, this waterfall is so beautiful! I've never seen such clear and magnificent water. Xinghan, do you think we can go there to take a bath and feel the coolness of nature?"
Xinghan smiled when he heard this. He understood Jinqiu's yearning for beautiful things, but the situation before him forced him to remain vigilant. He shook his head slightly, with a hint of mystery and humor in his tone:
"Jinqiu, your idea is quite bold, but this is not an ordinary waterfall. Look, the cave entrance hidden behind the waterfall is just like the legendary Water Curtain Cave. Maybe there are some unknown secrets hidden in it, or it may be guarding a powerful existence. If we rashly go in to take a bath, we might be regarded as intruders."
Jin Qiu was stunned at first, then burst out laughing. She patted her forehead, as if blaming herself for being too naive.
"You're right, Xinghan. I was almost carried away by the beauty of this place. Let's first figure out the situation at the entrance of this cave before we make any plans."
Xinghan nodded and looked again at the cave entrance hidden by the waterfall.
Xinghan's feet were firmly rooted on the ground, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring straight into the unknown abyss.
His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles slightly white from the effort, revealing his inner tension and determination.
With each deepening of his breath, the curiosity and anticipation in his chest surged like a tide, pushing him forward.
He slowly raised his feet, and each step seemed so heavy and firm.
Xinghan's eyes swept around, observing everything around him vigilantly, afraid of missing any possible clues or dangers.
His ears pricked up, catching every faint sound in the air, afraid of missing any sign that might indicate something unexpected.
In front of this barrier is a nine-square grid of stone piles.
These stones are of different sizes and shapes, but they are arranged in a wonderful pattern to form a complex pattern.
Xinghan could tell at a glance that this nine-grid stone pile was by no means accidental, but was intentionally created with some kind of mechanism.
In order to pass through this barrier and enter the cave, you must unlock the secret of this mechanism.
At this extremely tense moment, Xinghan's mind was extremely focused, as if he was subtly resonating with the space.
He clearly caught Shen Li's inner voice, which was a cry that struck the soul:
[Enough! This cage is a nightmare]
[How many cages are there here? ]
[We have to think of a way. We can't just give in. 】
[What is this cage made of? If I were in human form, I would definitely be able to break through this cage.]
[I have to act quickly]
Xinghan stopped and frowned slightly, with a hint of anxiety and anticipation:
"Shen Li, did you hear me? I'm Xinghan. Did you try to escape? Did you succeed?"
However, he did not feel Shen Li's response as before, only his own voice echoed in the air.
Xinghan frowned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
He thought carefully about his previous attempt and realized that something might have blocked the connection between them.
A thought flashed through his mind - the cave might have been soundproofed to block out the sounds from the outside world, but this approach could not prevent Shen Li's voice from coming out.
"Damn, if that's the case, then our communication will become even more difficult."
So Xinghan began to try other ways to convey information to Shen Li. He looked around, looking for tools or items that could be used, hoping to find a way to convey his voice or information to the cave.
But there is really no object similar to a mobile phone here, which makes Xinghan anxious and he wishes he could invent a mobile phone as soon as possible.
He closed his eyes, imagining that Shen Li was not far away, and silently recited her name in his heart, hoping to attract her attention in this way.
"Shen Li... Shen Li, can you hear me?" Xinghan's voice was particularly clear in the silent environment. He tried his best to make his tone calm and firm, hoping that it could penetrate any possible obstacles and reach Shen Li's ears.
However, what awaited him was still silence. Xinghan couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.
"Shen Li, I know you must be trying to find a way to escape. I am here, and I will do my best to help you. Although we can't talk directly now, please believe that my heart is with you. We will definitely be able to find a way to break this predicament and regain our freedom."
Xinghan's voice was full of encouragement and hope. He believed that as long as they did not give up, they would be able to overcome the difficulties before them.
After saying this, Xinghan waited quietly, and the only response he got was still silence.
"Master, shall we get closer to the cave entrance?" Jin Qiu suggested.
Xinghan nodded and continued to take a few cautious steps forward.
"Oh, if only there were a moon!"
It was Shen Li's voice.
I guess she was anxious.
With the help of moonlight, she can absorb spiritual energy, restore her form, and restore her abilities at the same time.
I guess after she recovers, these difficulties will not be a problem at all.
But the problem is, she hasn't recovered yet.
When Xinghan thought about the mood of the heroine Shen Li at the moment, he felt that there was no time to lose.
A great passion welled up in his heart, not only because he heard Shen Li's voice, but also because of his strong premonition.
The faint voice of Shen Li that Xinghan heard was a cry for help, which penetrated through layers of darkness and reached the depths of his soul.
At the same time, it seemed as if a string was quietly pulled in his heart, as if pointing to some important secret.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and the image of the stars behind Shen Li kept appearing in his mind...
