'Mountain Cave' That Had 'Grown' Out

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment. Then, one of them said in a low voice, "We've been brothers since we were kids, sharing everything and being considerate of each other is fine, but when it comes to other people..."

"The cultivation novels are right, these kinds of rare treasures are all about skill and luck. This time, we brothers are determined to get them. If we encounter anyone else... humph!"

"Let's go, speed up. We're not necessarily afraid of encountering a few people, but it's better to avoid trouble if we can."

"Let's go!"

Without saying another word, the group sped through the mountains and forests. About half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of a cliff.

The cliff wasn't particularly high, only a dozen meters, but as native locals, they were very familiar with Wudang Mountain.

Therefore, at first glance, one can be certain that this cliff has just 'grown'!

Yes, it's 'long'.

Wudang Mountain seems to grow taller every day, leading some to suspect that Wudang Mountain possesses life.

However, few people believe such claims and speculations, but the fact that she 'grew taller' is absolutely true.

"Those rays of Sun and Moon Radiance / Star Power just now, it seems they landed around here..."

"There shouldn't be anyone around. It seems only we brothers found it. Quick, search carefully and don't miss any details!"

"Yes, whether it's a plant, an animal, or anything else, even just a stone, as long as it's unusual, we have to keep it!"

The group of five immediately split up, each taking a flashlight they had prepared, and began to search the vicinity carefully.

Although they could see the mountain roads without a flashlight, being able to see clearly and searching carefully are two different things. Now that things were very 'urgent,' they naturally had to complete the search as soon as possible.

However, after more than an hour, when the five people who had split up reunited, none of them looked very well.

"I didn't find anything!"

"Me too, what about you?"

"Same!"

"I stepped in a pile of shit, a huge pile, you know? A really huge pile, I've never seen anything like it poop that much!"

"... Holy crap!?"

Lao Shen exclaimed in surprise, "A really big lump?"

"Extremely large!" The other party nodded in confirmation.

"Depend on!"

Lao Shen cursed angrily, "Could it be... some kind of animal has become a spirit? Like a bear?"

"You... you're scaring us!"

The group was surprised, but remained calm. "You mean, the reason we're seeing Star Power falling isn't because of some rare treasure, but because there's some kind of bear spirit cultivating here?"

"Surely not? This isn't Journey to the West, how could a Black Bear Demon suddenly appear?"

"That's hard to say..."

Lao Shen grumbled, "When the Spiritual Qi Revival, strange things happened, like animals talking like humans and walking upright. It's not so hard to believe that a black bear could become a spirit, is it?"

"However, this is just a guess. Everyone should be careful..."

Click, click!

Sudden.

A sharp crack rang out, sounding particularly jarring in the silent, dark forest...

"What the hell is that?"

The five of them immediately stood back to back, pressed tightly together, and stared at their surroundings, worried that something might be approaching.

They were especially apprehensive after the idea of a ' Black Bear Demon ' was proposed.

However, nothing was found.

Not even a single bird was seen.

"How could this be? There's nothing there?"

"Was that sound just now... wasn't it something snapping a branch?"

"Could it be that thing is hiding in the shadows, preparing to attack us? Anyway, it's always better for us guys to be careful!"

"Wait, something doesn't feel right..."

Suddenly, Lao Shen's expression changed drastically. "Have you noticed how quiet it is here?"

"Quiet? What nonsense are you talking about? It's the middle of the night, quiet is the perfect time..."

Before he could finish the word "Chang," Lao Wang was speechless, as if something was gripping his neck. "Damn it, this is weird, this place is too weird!"

Everyone realized what was happening.

At first, they didn't notice. Quiet? Subconsciously, they thought it was perfectly normal. After all, it was the middle of the night; it would be abnormal if it were noisy, right?

But if you think about it carefully...

Although it was the middle of the night, it was also deep in the mountains and forests!

How many animals live in the deep mountains and forests? Countless, who knows exactly how many, but there are definitely a lot.

Moreover, there are definitely more nocturnal animals than daytime animals.

Especially after the Spiritual Qi Revival, various snakes, insects, rats and ants become particularly active at night, and there are even some carnivores that often make a lot of noise.

For example, some old wolves often howl at the moon. In the past, this might have been quite unusual, but now...

However, it happens frequently.

Therefore, Wudang Mountain Wudang Mountain, especially after the Spiritual Qi Revival, is definitely noisier at night than during the day.

But in this area, not even the chirping of insects could be heard; only distant roars could be heard...

What does this tell us?

This means there's definitely something wrong with this place!

"This is weird!"

"Let's go."

"Something's not right here!"

"Yes, let's go quickly."

No one wanted to stay in such an eerie place, and they were about to leave when... that crisp cracking sound came again, seemingly right behind them.

"Who!"

The five men's expressions changed drastically. They turned around and found that behind them was a sheer cliff face, more than ten meters high.

Click, click...

The clicking sounds were incessant, sending chills down the spines of the five men. They immediately shone their flashlights along the stone wall, only to discover...

"The stone wall has cracked!?"

No living creatures or spirits were found, but there was a crack in the center of the stone wall, and the cracking sounds came from when the crack opened.

"Damn, that startled us!"

"I thought it was something big, but it turned out to be a cracked stone."

The five relaxed slightly and laughed out loud, "Speaking of which, I wonder if something will grow out of here?"

"Ha, could it be that a fairy has grown out of this?"

"Hey, a fairy jumped out of a rock in Wudang Mountain? I'd believe it if you said it jumped out of a monkey!"

Click.

Another crisp sound, and then...

The cracked stone began to fall off.

The group was initially quite excited, since they had indeed seen the power of moonlight and Star Power fall into the vicinity.

Although I don't know what those lights should be called, that's what they're called in the novel, so it should be correct, right?

Those who absorb this substance generally possess spirituality, and it is very likely that it is some kind of precious medicine.

We hadn't discovered it before, but now that this has happened, could it be that the precious medicine or something similar is hidden in this stone wall?

Their eyes gleamed, and they seemed excited.

But soon, the five of them realized something was wrong.

After the stone wall cracked open, fragments of stone fell off one after another, but they did not see any trace of precious medicine or any other creatures. All they could see in the area where the stone had fallen off was pitch black, and no one could see anything clearly.

"What is that thing?!"

"Could it be..."

"What?!"

"It looks like a cave?!"

"Yes, it's a cave!"

After a brief exchange and confirmation, the five of them exclaimed excitedly, "A cave!"

"This is good stuff..."

Cave...

Foreigners might be terrified if they encountered this in the middle of nowhere, especially a cave that suddenly appears.

But for the Hua Nation, especially now, with the Spiritual Qi Revival, the sudden appearance of a mysterious cave is quite something!

Hey!

Once inside, will you find the Great Revitalizing Pill that can increase your cultivation level by a hundred years? Or will you find some kind of magical medicine that has become sentient?

Or perhaps you'll encounter a dying old man who will impart unparalleled martial arts skills to you?!

"What should we do?"

"Nonsense, of course we're going in to take a look!"

"However, it seems a bit high!"

"It is a bit high, but we stacked men can climb it easily!"

The cave entrance was about three meters above the ground, which wasn't low, but it wasn't impossible to climb up either. Especially now, after the Spiritual Qi Revival, their bodies had been nourished by the spiritual energy, resulting in an overall improvement in their physical abilities.

Even if the stone wall were smooth, they could easily send the others up one after another with one person.

Only Lao Shen said somewhat nervously, "We should still be careful. We shouldn't just think about the treasures and benefits, but also consider the dangers."

"That's true!"

"How about this, let's send one person up first, take a picture, and get a general idea of what's going on inside..."

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

"I'll take the photos!"

The five brothers weren't fools, nor were they blinded by greed. They remained rational and then prepared to have Lao Wang stand on Lao Shen's shoulders so they could get a better look and take a few pictures...

Soon, they began to take action.

Lao Shen easily let Lao Wang stand on his shoulders, then slowly stood up so that Lao Wang could reach the cave entrance.

"It's pitch black, I can't see anything at all!"

He muttered to himself.

"Take photos with the flash on. Isn't it normal for it to be dark in a cave?"

"OK!"

Lao Wang didn't hesitate and immediately took out his phone to take a picture.

Click, click, click!

Three photos were taken in quick succession, each shot from a different angle, accompanied by the flash of the camera. But at that very moment, in the darkness, a pair of blood-red vertical pupils, stimulated by the flash, slowly opened.

"Quick, come down, let's take a look together."

Seeing that Lao Wang had taken the photos, the group helped him down and gathered around to look at the phone screen.

"Still can't see clearly!"

"It seems the cave entrance is too deep; the flash isn't powerful enough. Let's try taking pictures with a flashlight!"

The first two photos were completely black, and they couldn't see anything at all. They frowned and made suggestions.

But Lao Shen noticed a problem in the third photo.

"Why is there such a small red dot here?"
