Chapter 279 - 279 A Strange Cave

279 A Strange Cave

Since Qian Yuan had already spoken, Ye Xuan naturally wouldn’t reject him. Furthermore, Qian Yuan also put a lot of effort into Changping’s matter. “Let’s not delay any further. Let’s set off now. Who knows, we might be able to gain something.”

Knowing that Ye Xuan had agreed, Qian Yuan was extremely grateful.

“There’s no need for words of gratitude between us. Besides, I’m also curious about this cave.”

There might be new gains, but the only worry was that it would attract the attention of others.

As for Ye Xuan’s worry, Qian Yuan didn’t care.

“The cave is deep in the forest, and it’s hard for ordinary people to know its location. I’ve also ordered the big demons to guard it nearby, so almost no human cultivators have been able to reach it successfully.”

After some slight adjustments, everyone was ready to set off. Other than Ye Xuan, Shen Changling, and Qian Yuan, there were no other big demons. After all, the demonic beasts had lost too many people.

Moreover, the cave could weaken the strength of the demonic beasts. Even if they brought too many demonic beasts, it would probably be useless. They might even drag the process. Therefore, they did not plan to bring the demonic beasts along.

The two humans and one beast prepared to set off and soon arrived at the cave that Qian Yuan had mentioned.

This cave was located in the deepest part of the demonic beasts’ forest and the most remote place. It was almost unremarkable, and even Qian Yuan did not know that such a place existed in this location.

“It’s just in front.”

This was the first time Ye Xuan and Shen zhangxuan had gone so deep. If it weren’t for Qian Yuan leading the way, they probably wouldn’t have been able to find their way.

The deeper they went, the dimmer the light became. Even the surrounding plants were affected. They were all extremely tall and strangely shaped plants.

Soon, Ye Xuan and Shen Changling also saw the shape of the cave. The entrance was very narrow, and they had to bend down if they wanted to enter.

Ye Xuan tried to release a wisp of divine sense, but he sensed nothing. It felt like an ordinary cave.

If not for Qian Yuan’s previous words, he would have easily let his guard down and not taken this cave seriously.

“I’ve tried many methods to test it, but it didn’t work. In the end, the result was that there was nothing strange about this cave. But if you go in yourself, you’ll understand that feeling.”

As they got near the cave, Ye Xuan noticed many messy footprints. The missing demon beasts should leave them behind, as Qian Yuan mentioned.

“Did you find anything when you went in last time?”

Qian Yuan shook his head. “didn’t find anything. I felt that something was wrong, so I left.”

They decided to go in together because there were no clues outside.

The cave entrance was pitch-black, and a cold wind blew in from somewhere, bringing the stench of dirt mixed with other smells. In short, the scent was a little unpleasant.

Shen Changling frowned and could not help but say, “What’s that strong smell? It feels like a rotten animal that has been dead for a long time.”

“Maybe it’s the bones of the missing demonic beasts.

Although they didn’t find any bones in the abyss, they probably didn’t have any chance of survival.

Ye Xuan took out a huge night-luminescent pearls and carefully entered the cave. The entrance could only accommodate one person, and he had to bend down.

The night-luminescent pearls dispelled the surrounding darkness. Ye Xuan groped the wall beside him and slowly moved forward.

As Shen Changling had the lowest cultivation, he walked in the middle while Qian Yuan walked behind. If there was any danger, he could inform the two people in front of him at first moment.

When the cave entrance had completely swallowed the three of them, the stench in the air seemed to have become even stronger. On the contrary, they were not affected by the strange smell even though they were walking inside the cave.

The air was a little moist, but the wall felt dry and uneven.

The road ahead stretched into the depths of the darkness as if there was no end. Ye Xuan and the others walked for a while before two forks appeared in front of them, and they couldn’t help but stop.

“Where should I go now?”

Qian Yuan, on the other hand, looked a little puzzled. “I don’t think I saw a fork the last time I came here.”

Ye Xuan and Shen Changling were shocked. “Are you sure?”

If there was no fork, what was going on with this road?

“I’m too sure, or maybe I remembered it wrong. After all, I didn’t walk this path for too long.”

Seeing that they couldn’t tell the difference with the naked eye, they couldn’t choose which path to take. In the end, they chose the one on the left.

It was very calm along the way. There was no sign of any movement or abnormality, but this abnormality made Ye Xuan, Shen Changling, and the others a little uneasy.

There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation.

Previously, so many big demons had disappeared because of this cave. However, when they walked into this cave, there was no movement. That was too illogical.

Even Shen Changling couldn’t help but suspect, “Could it be that we’re on the wrong path?”

“Not necessarily. Let’s wait and see.”

At this moment, Qian Yuan’s footsteps slowed down.

“Is there anything unusual?”

Qian Yuan shook his head, but his expression was a little complicated. “I can feel it. The power suppressing me for no reason seems to have appeared again.”

How strong must the power be to be able to suppress Qian Yuan? Ye Xuan immediately fell into alert, but strangely, he and Shen Changlian didn’t feel anything.

“Maybe you’re overthinking.”

The night-luminescent pearls was like a firefly in the dark. It attracted something in the dark, but Ye Xuan had no idea at this time.
