Not long after, everyone arrived at the deep pit that He Yudan fell into.
Looking at the bottomless pit that was shrouded in mist, everyone couldn't help but frown. If they weren't forced into a corner like He Yudan, they definitely wouldn't have chosen to jump into the pit.
Someone immediately asked, "Miss He, didn't you say that there's another passage that leads to the bottom?"
Then, everyone turned to look at He Yudan.
"There is. I brought all of you here just to let you see the situation up there … Follow me." He Yudan turned around and walked to the right as she spoke.
Basically, everyone who had been in the valley had followed him. The reason for this was naturally because they were afraid of encountering Zhang Chaoran alone.
After walking for a while, He Yudan brought everyone to a place where the mist was even thicker.
Many people couldn't help but frown when they saw this because they wouldn't be able to see through the mist even if they were to enter.
"The mist here is very thick. Everyone, be careful," He Yudan said.
As she spoke, she walked towards the mist. Just as she took a step, Linlong pulled her back and said, "Miss He, the mist is really thick. Are you sure that you can find the entrance to the passage?"
"Junior Brother Lin, don't worry. Ever since I came out from that island, I've had an unusual feeling towards that tunnel. Therefore, even though it's shrouded in mist, I can still sense it." He Yudan replied.
Seeing that He Yudan was telling the truth, Linlong immediately nodded. "Alright then."
He Yudan walked in. After walking for a while, she said, "It's here."
Everyone quickly gathered around. After spending a lot of effort, they finally saw an entrance between a few rocks in front of them.
He Yudan strode in, and everyone followed behind her in a single file.
What surprised everyone was that there wasn't a trace of mist inside. After entering, they discovered that it was a passage that led downwards. The passage wasn't small and could accommodate five to six people at the same time.
"Miss He, will there be any danger in the passage?" Someone hurriedly asked.
The reason why he asked this was because many people felt a sense of pressure.
"Although this passage feels dangerous, there isn't any danger inside. Everyone, don't worry," He Yudan said.
After saying that, she strode forward.
Seeing that she dared to walk forward alone, those who were worried naturally heaved a sigh of relief.
He Yudan led the group to a fork in the road after many twists and turns.
"If you keep going down, you'll reach the rope that connects to the island. If you go left, you'll reach the other place I mentioned," He Yudan said.
"Elders, should we go down first, or should we go to the left and go to the unknown place?" Someone asked.
"Of course it's to the left. After all, Miss He has already explored the entire island once. The most likely place to find Jinqian is on the left," Yang Or said without hesitation.
"Alright, we'll listen to Elder Huo," the other grade four beasts chimed in.
Immediately, everyone headed to the left.
This time, it wasn't He Yudan who was walking in front. Instead, it was two Level Four beasts. One was Feng Feng, and the other was Yang Huo.
The size of the passage was the same as before. However, the oppressive feeling was obviously heavier. The weaker ones subconsciously covered their chests and gasped for breath.
After walking for half an hour, everyone realized that the passage in front of them had suddenly widened. Originally, it could only accommodate five or six people side by side. Now, it could obviously accommodate more than ten people at the same time.
After walking for another 100 feet, a stone cave suddenly appeared in front of them. This stone cave was more than ten times the size of the previous passage.
It was empty inside. After looking around, everyone frowned because the stone cave didn't seem to lead to other places.
"Didn't we come here for nothing?" Someone frowned.
At this moment, many people looked at He Yudan with obvious resentment in their eyes. Their time was so precious. After wasting so much time, they could only end up in such a place. How could they not feel resentful?
He Yudan also frowned. She instinctively felt that it should be a different place. Who would have thought that they would end up in such a spacious place?
"It seems like we can only return empty-handed," Yang Huo sighed.
The other Level Four beasts also shook their heads.
"Wait!" At this moment, Feng Dong suddenly shouted.
"Elder Feng Dong, did you discover something?" Yang Huo and the others couldn't help but ask.
Feng Dong didn't say anything. Instead, he walked in front of a wall in the stone cave and stared at the extremely smooth stone wall.
There was nothing on this stone wall. Could it be that Elder Feng Dong had gone berserk? Seeing Feng Dong's expression, some people even thought of this in their hearts.
After a moment, Feng Dong suddenly said, "Which elder can hit this wall with your palm? Just hit the area five inches above my head."
"I'll do it." Hearing this, Li Da immediately stood up. After walking to Feng Dong's side, his figure suddenly grew taller.
When he arrived at the location mentioned by Feng Dong, he struck out a few palm strikes.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …"
A few small palm strikes landed on the wall. What was unexpected was that after these palm strikes, the surface of the wall actually exploded with powder-like substance.
The powder instantly shot in all directions. Everyone hurriedly waved their palms to pat the powder away. When they saw the situation in front of them clearly, they were shocked to discover that the wall in front of them was actually filled with runes. Moreover, these runes were written in a circle.
"There must be a mystery here!" Yang Huo and the others immediately shouted in joy.
At this moment, Feng Dong suddenly said, "In my opinion, this is a door. As long as we open this door, there must be another place on the other side!"
"Fortunately, Elder Feng Dong, you know runes. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to see through this trick at all!" Wan Bai couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes."
The other grade four beasts also chimed in.
"I only know a little …" Feng Dong said with a smile. Then, he stared at the runes intently, looking as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing that he was thinking, everyone naturally didn't disturb him. Yang Huo and the others even gestured for the people behind them to not make a sound. Immediately, it became quiet. It was so quiet that the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.
Looking at these runes, Linlong knitted his brows tightly. Although his grasp of runes was not comparable to Feng Dong's, what made him feel helpless was that he didn't know this kind of runes in this world at all.
Therefore, it was almost impossible for him to see through the mysteries of the runes.
After a long while, Feng Dong opened his mouth and said, "These runes conform to the Five Elements Technique. They should be the Five Elements Key. If used properly, there shouldn't be any problem opening it."
"That's good." Hearing Feng Dong's words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"What should we do?" Yang Huo asked.
"This … Let me try first." After pondering for a moment, Feng Dong suddenly slapped his palm toward one of these runes.
After a short pause, he successively slapped his palm twice. These two slaps were on another place. After these two slaps, the runes in front of them emitted a faint white light.
In the next moment, to everyone's surprise, these runes actually started to move. Moreover, they were clearly divided into five parts.
The five parts were all different colors. They were gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in order.
At this moment, even those who didn't understand the Five Elements Key knew that these five colors corresponded to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
"It seems that Elder Feng Dong was right. These are indeed the Five Elements Key!" Yang Huo and the others couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, Feng Dong suddenly said, "Next, we need to find five people to attack these five parts at the same time. Only by doing this can we open the Five Elements Key."
After a slight pause, he continued, "Four of these five people can be found, but there's only one person that can't be changed."
"Oh, I wonder who that person is?" Hearing this, everyone was puzzled.
"This person is Little Brother Lin!" As he said this, Feng Dong shifted his gaze to Lin Long.
Immediately, everyone's gaze shifted to Lin Long.
"Oh, Elder Feng Dong, why is that?" Lin Long was also puzzled.
Naturally, he was familiar with the Five Elements Technique. However, to be honest, this was the first time he had seen this Five Elements Key.
"Because the Bloodline Sword is the most beneficial weapon to break through the metal of the five elements. Among us, only you have it. Moreover, your strength has reached the level of a level-4 beast, so it can only be you!" Feng Dong said with a smile.
After a slight pause, he continued, "Of course, if you're willing to let others use the Bloodline Sword, that's fine too."
"Alright, then count me in," Lin Long immediately said.
"That's good." Feng Dong nodded, and then he looked at the other grade 4 beasts and said, "As for the others, they'll be chosen from amongst us grade 4 beasts. But because I haven't recovered from my injuries, I can only choose from amongst the rest of you."
"Elder Feng Dong, will there be any danger in opening the Five Elements Key?" Li Qianjing couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, there won't be any danger," Feng Dong immediately guaranteed.
"However, I think it's better to draw lots," Li Qianjing said again.
"I also think it's better this way," Yang She and the others echoed.
These people were all wily old foxes. Although Feng Dong said there was no danger, how could they dare to believe him? Therefore, they naturally agreed to this method.
"How about this? I have six stones here, and two of them have a different color from the others. Whoever chooses the one with a different color will not participate. What do you think?" Feng Dong said.
"Alright." The others nodded.
Feng Dong immediately took out six stones from his spatial ring. The stones were all the same size, and two of them were indeed different from the others.
"These are stones that I happened to collect by chance. They're useless for cultivation, but I didn't expect them to come in handy like this," Feng Dong explained with a smile.
He then looked at the level-4 beasts in front of him and said, "Who wants to go first?"
"I'll do it," Yang She said immediately.
"Then, Elder Yang She, you walk over, then turn around and pick one," Feng Dong said.
Yang She walked in front of Feng Dong and then turned around. At this time, Feng Dong held the six stones with both hands and let Yang She pick.
Yang She randomly picked one. Since the six stones were identical except for the color, no one was worried that Yang She could sense which two were different.
After drawing one, Yang She held it in front of his eyes and frowned. This was because this key was different from the other two. In other words, he would be the one to open the Five Elemental Key.
"Alright, the other one," Feng Dong said again.
"I'll do it," Li Qianjing took over and directly walked in front of Feng Dong.
He turned around and picked one just like Yang She did. What made him overjoyed was that this stone was of a different color. In other words, he only needed to watch from the side.
"I'll do it this time!"
After Li Qianjing finished picking, Wan Bai and Feng Feng shouted at the same time.
"In that case, Elder Wan Bai, you go first," Feng Feng said straightforwardly.
"Then I'll go first," Wan Bai said as he walked over.
Very quickly, he picked a stone in his hand. What made him depressed was that this stone was not of a different color.
After that, it was Feng Feng's turn. After Feng Feng picked his stone, he was also depressed because he also did not get a different color.
At this time, there were only two stones left. Only Elder Gui and Li Da had not picked their stones yet.
This was a chance to choose between two. It was all the same no matter who picked it. It mainly depended on luck.
"Elder Gui, do you want to do it, or should I?" Li Da looked at Elder Gui and smiled.
"I'll do it," Elder Gui said.
He had no intention of putting his fate in the hands of others.
"That's good." Li Da nodded.
Elder Gui immediately walked in front of Feng Dong. After turning around, he searched the two stones for a while and finally chose one of them.
Before he could take it, Yang He, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Elder Gui, you have to come with us."
Elder Gui took it and looked at it. His face twitched because this stone was not of a different color. In other words, he would have to attack the Five Elements Key with Yang He and the others.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Feng Dong smiled again.
"Elder Feng Dong, what should we do next?" Elder Gui ignored him and asked directly.
"Next, the five of you stand in a row and wait for my order. Once I give the order to attack, you will attack with half of the energy in your body!" Feng Dong immediately said.
Then, the five of them stood in front of the wall. The five of them were Lin Long, Yang He, Feng Feng, Elder Gui, and Wan Bai.
The two people who did not need to attack with the others were actually members of the Li family. This was a little surprising to everyone.
"Don't get distracted. Once I give the order to attack, attack immediately. Don't stop, or else all your previous efforts will be in vain!" Feng Dong urged again.
Then, his gaze fell on the runes again. At this time, the scene became quiet again.
