(Thank you for the tip, "Celestial Aspect 777". Today is Saturday, and I'm fulfilling my promise from last week. At the same time, I'm exploding because of the unexpected news. Come and get all the monthly votes and recommendation votes.)
"To the left."
"We'll go to the right."
Shouts rang out one after another as orders were quickly passed down. Different forces made different choices and headed in different directions.
Not long after the ferocious sword Void Butcher appeared, the cave also appeared. Colorful seals blocked the swordsmen outside.
Perhaps it was because too much time had passed and it was damaged, but the seal was not particularly powerful. Under the attacks of several hundred swordsmen, the power of the seal was completely worn away and broken, revealing a huge entrance to the dwelling.
As soon as the entrance to the dwelling appeared, several hundred people rushed in. Everyone wanted to be the first to enter. Void Butcher unleashed an extremely terrifying aura of violence and instantly suppressed the several hundred swordsmen. He became the first to enter the dwelling.
Countless people yearned for such boldness and ability.
After about ten breaths of time had passed since everyone had entered the cave, a blood-red light quickly flew over from afar. After pausing for a moment, it shot into the cave like an arrow and disappeared.
…
All the abodes left behind by the senior experts had similar internal specifications. They were basically divided into different areas.
For example, there were pill rooms, sword rooms, treasure rooms, and so on. Perhaps they were not directly named, but overall, their functions were the same. As a result, as long as one could find these areas, they would be able to obtain the various treasures within the dwelling. This was a common understanding.
The problem was that no one had entered this cave mansion before. Perhaps no one was familiar with the interior of the cave mansion except for the owner of the cave mansion. Therefore, no one knew where those elixir rooms, swords, and tools rooms were located.
To find it, one had to rely on a bit of luck. Of course, some people had a deep understanding of the Immortal's Cave. They could more or less find the pattern of the Immortal's Cave based on their ability. They could quickly find the important areas such as the Pill Room and so on, and thus get the treasures first.
At a time like this, it could be said that whether or not they could obtain the treasures and what kind of treasures they could obtain would depend on their own abilities.
After everyone entered, the first path was the cave. As they continued forward, several hundred people rushed forward according to different factions. After a while, the cave split into three paths, one on the left, the middle, and the right.
This put everyone in a difficult position.
Some senior experts liked to play pranks. They would make some forks out of nowhere. These forks might lead to the same place, or they might lead to different places.
After some hesitation, everyone made different choices.
Chu Mu still chose the right fork based on his intuition and strode forward.
Because they had split into three groups, the number of swordsmen who took the right fork had decreased significantly. However, they still kept a certain distance from each other to guard against any sudden attacks.
From time to time, they would glance at Chu Mu with murderous intent. If it weren't for Void Butcher, they would have drawn their swords and killed Chu Mu first.
At the top of the tunnel, there was a Luminous Pearl embedded every twenty meters. It released a soft and bright light, illuminating the tunnel as if it was daytime.
As they walked, they were once again dumbfounded. They had no choice but to stop because six forks had appeared in front of them.
"What the hell is going on?" A swordsman from the Red Coat Association muttered with his mouth wide open.
Everyone looked at the six glowing entrances. They had no idea where the entrances led to.
Chu Mu was also speechless. Could it be that the senior who left behind this cave was just playing pranks?
No matter what, since they had already entered the cave, they had to continue walking to find out if this was a joke or if they could truly obtain treasures.
Without another word, Chu Mu's body flashed and he chose the rightmost fork based on his intuition. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Seeing Chu Mu's actions, the other swordsmen all came to their senses.
"Who cares? Since we're already here, are we going to return empty-handed?"
"That's right. This might be a test."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone once again chose a different path to enter.
Originally, there were about three hundred swordsmen who had entered the cave. At the beginning, there were three forks, and each fork had about a hundred people. Now, there were six forks. After choosing different paths, the number of people was relatively equal.
Usually, different forces would not choose the same path. This way, they could avoid conflicts between them and cause unnecessary casualties.
"Let's go this way." A swordsman said as he stared at the rightmost fork. With a wave of his hand, a dozen people quickly moved towards that fork. These people had the surname Liu.
Other than these swordsmen, five other swordsmen also chose the rightmost fork. They were going the same way as Chu Mu.
At this point, Chu Mu did not have much confidence. He could only rely on luck.
Chu Mu's speed was very fast. The twenty swordsmen behind him were not slow either. Each of them was at least at the initial success stage of Qi Transformation.
"What should we do?" One of the swordsmen with the surname Liu said in a low voice.
"We can't kill or capture him. Otherwise, we will offend Void Butcher." Another person said.
Swordsmen like Void Butcher were the most dangerous. He was alone and had no ties. His strength was also very strong. Normal swordsmen at the peak of Qi Hai were not his opponents.
If such a person was determined to go against you, even if there were Origin Realm warriors in the Mayor's Palace, they would not be able to guard against him all the time.
Then, the people in the Mayor's Palace would have to go out. They could not hide in the palace forever. Not only would it be uncomfortable, it would also become a joke.
"If we do it secretly, Void Butcher will not be able to find a reason and will not dare to attack us." One of the swordsmen's eyes suddenly brightened as he said in a low voice.
"That's right. The swordsmen that entered the cave came from different forces. There are more than ten of them. As long as we do it cleanly, Void Butcher will not know who did it. No matter how strong he is, he cannot offend more than ten forces one by one."
"If that's the case …" Just as he finished speaking, one of the swordsmen suddenly pulled out his sword and turned around. He performed a Sword Light, which was even brighter than the light from the Bright Light Pearls.
It was so sudden that the swordsmen walking not far behind were not prepared at all. By the time they reacted, before they could even pull out their swords, their protective sword Qi had already been torn apart and their bodies pierced through by streaks of sword light.
The one who attacked was a Qi Hai warrior. Even if he was only at the beginning of the Qi Hai realm, he was still not someone they could deal with.
"Right now, there are only us in this tunnel." The Qi Hai warrior put his sword back into the scabbard and said softly.
"Chase." The Qi Hai warrior who had been silent all this time said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Immediately, the swordsmen from the Mayor's Palace increased their speed and chased after Chu Mu.
However, Chu Mu's speed was very fast. He kept moving forward without stopping. When the people from the Mayor's Palace slowed down to discuss, the distance between them and Chu Mu was increasing.
When the people from the Mayor's Palace rushed out of the tunnel, they were completely dumbfounded.
If it was someone with a bad temper, they would have jumped up and down in anger and wanted to kill someone.
Think about it. At the beginning, there were three forks in the tunnel. After choosing, there were six forks. Now, there were nine more. Would there be more forks in the tunnel?
Even if there were no more forks, how many forks were there?
Did the owner of this cave have nothing better to do? Did he purposely dig forks here to fool people?
Nine forks appeared in front of them. Maybe they would lead to the same place, or maybe they would lead to different places. Other than that, they did not see the white robed figure that wanted to kill them.
Now, facing the nine forks, they did not know which one Chu Mu had chosen.
"There must be some traces left behind. Look carefully." The Qi Hai warrior said with a hoarse voice. It was obvious that he was angry.
The dozen or so swordsmen immediately split up, carefully inspecting each of the nine forks to see if there were any recent traces left behind.
No matter which fork Chu Mu chose to enter, he would definitely leave behind some traces that were different from the past that would become clues to follow.
However, after the swordsmen from the Mayor's Palace searched carefully, they could not be sure which fork Chu Mu had chosen. There were three forks in total that had new traces.
"I think, we should choose the rightmost fork?" One of the two Qi Hai Beginner Swordsmen said after thinking for a while. He didn't wait for the others to ask and immediately explained, "The first two times he chose the right path, he didn't think too much and directly chose the right path. That is to say, this person made his choice based on his intuition and his preferences. Now, there are traces left behind on the rightmost fork. This means that this person chose the rightmost fork again. "
After the analysis, everyone nodded their heads. What he said was very reasonable. Thinking about it carefully, the young swordsman in the white robe did choose the rightmost fork twice in a row.
"Go to the rightmost fork, full speed ahead." The only Sword Warrior who was at the Low Qi Hai level had a bright light shining in his eyes. He glanced around and his eyes landed on the right side of the nine paths. He turned into a beam of light and shot into the path. Soon after, the other Sword Warriors from the Mayor's mansion also started to move and chased after him with their fastest speed.
However, they were wrong. This time, Chu Mu did not choose the rightmost fork. Instead, he chose the leftmost fork.
The people from the Mayor's Palace had always wanted to kill Chu Mu. This killing intent leaked out unintentionally and was noticed by Chu Mu. After Chu Mu chose the rightmost fork twice, the people from the Mayor's Palace also chose the rightmost fork.
There was a Low Qi Hai Realm, two Beginner Qi Hai Realm Swordsmen, and twelve Peak Qi Transforming Swordsmen. Chu Mu didn't have much confidence in winning against such a group, so he tried his best to avoid them. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
