The four of them disappeared into the depths of the cave. Li Yunmu didn't hold much hope for this. After all, the guide wasp had already scouted the area.
Even these small and nimble high-speed flying creatures didn't turn back once they left. Most of these four people wouldn't have a good ending.
But since he couldn't think of any method for the time being, he could only try his luck.
However, what surprised Li Yunmu was that in less than a week, the four of them had surprisingly come out alive. Apart from their haggard expressions, they didn't have any other problems.
"Ya Yan, right? Tell me about the situation in the depths of the cave. " Among the four of them, the one with the most authority was called Ya Yan. He was a barbarian in his early twenties and was quite tall. His height was close to 2.3 meters. As for his strength, it could barely be considered passable.
At least, Ya Yan was slightly more formidable than the other three. His ranking in the fifteenth residential region was around one hundred and twenty. He had the strength of nineteen oxen and flux energy strength of seventy-three points.
If the strength of the people in the top one hundred and fifty of the fifteenth residential region could only be considered as the middle level, then the one hundred and twentieth place could be considered as the upper middle level. But in front of Li Yunmu, whose strength had increased greatly, it was useless.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that given Li Yunmu's present strength of fifty oxen, even if he didn't use flux energy and only relied on his physical strength, one hand and one leg, he could still defeat more than a hundred people like Ya Yan.
That's right, the disparity was that large. Don't just look at the difference in strength of thirty oxen. If ten oxen were considered as one level, then the disparity was already three levels.
There was simply no way to compare them.
Thus, Li Yunmu wasn't afraid that the four of them would play any tricks.
Ya Yan and the others cautiously looked at Li Yunmu and said, "The cave is very deep, very deep. We didn't encounter any creature inside, not even a small plant. Originally, we wanted to continue exploring, but after seeing that there seemed to be no end to it, we decided to return so as not to make your distinguished self wait."
They were afraid that their investigation would displease this fellow disciple who was only slightly stronger than them and would kill them.
Li Yunmu didn't say anything after hearing their words. He only silently looked at the four of them until they were drenched in sweat. Only then did he nod and withdraw his gaze.
"Not bad, you all have done well. Go and take a rest. Since I had an agreement with you all, I won't make things difficult for you all. Zhang Ru, give them a wild horned goat." Li Yunmu waved his hand and allowed them to leave.
The four of them hurriedly nodded to express their thanks and retreated happily. Over the past few months, because the four of them were forbidden from entering the forest, they had been eating giant coconut meat and drinking coconut water for sustenance.
Now that they heard that there was meat to eat, they didn't care about anything else.
"Master, do you really believe everything they've said?" He Miao asked suspiciously.
"That's why we have to feed them well and let them relax. Only then will they have the opportunity to reveal the truth," Li Yunmu replied.
"I understand. Give them two more bottles of Goth." He Miao nodded and immediately went to work.
After everyone left, Li Yunmu asked, "Did they speak the truth just now?"
[Most of them were speaking the truth. But when they said that there was nothing inside, their heartbeat and breathing rate unconsciously increased by a bit. Moreover, their usual behavior was somewhat unnatural,] the system's voice echoed in Li Yunmu's mind.
"In other words, the depths of the cave aren't completely empty like they said?" It had to be said that after the system leveled up, it had become increasingly formidable.
It has to be known that although the strength of the four of them was ordinary and couldn't be considered as anything in front of Li Yunmu, they were still flux experts of this world.
But in any case, the four of them were flux experts of this world. In the Origin World, where the majority of people were slaves or commoners, they were big shots.
These people had experienced many things, so their mental fortitude was more formidable than that of ordinary people. So it wasn't easy to detect whether they were lying or not.
The heartbeat and breathing rate mentioned by the System had increased by a beat. Actually, this small beat was already a very subtle sense of perception and capture.
If it could be described as a heartbeat test, then given Ya Yan's mental fortitude, his heartbeat would be the same as usual and there wouldn't be any difference.
But the system's analysis had reached an even higher level, so it could detect a trace of abnormality in the other party's calm reply.
In addition, the System had already collected all the data on the four people's physical characteristics over the past three months. Therefore, with a comparison, it was very clear. Even if there were some extremely minute details, such as unnatural expressions or movements, it was still possible to compare them with the database that had been collected in advance.
The truth was revealed.
These details didn't seem to have much use, but they were extremely useful in reality. Sometimes, a single detail was enough to change everything.
[Yes, at least they weren't speaking the truth on this point.]
"That's good. In the end, we still discovered two breakthroughs." Li Yunmu's mood improved slightly.
A few more days passed. During these days, Li Yunmu kept to his promise and improved the living conditions of Ya Yan's group of three.
After another three days, Li Yunmu called them in front of him once more.
[This time, I will require you to investigate the depths of the cave. Stay there for a long time and do your best to find the end of the cave.]
Once the four of them heard his words, they were slightly startled. But they didn't say anything and obediently entered the cave to scout ahead.
"How is it?" Li Yunmu asked.
[After hearing host's request for them to enter the depths of the cave, the minds of two of them became much more active than usual,] the system replied.
What did this mean?
Li Yunmu understood. It seemed like the four of them had obtained some benefits after entering the depths of the cave for the first time. Otherwise, they wouldn't have become so excited.
Although the four of them appeared to be very experienced and didn't show any emotion on the surface, the system had been monitoring their bodily functions. Moreover, they had been receiving good hospitality for the past few days.
Clearly, two of them had relaxed their vigilance, and a gap had appeared in their state of mind. But this gap, which ordinary people couldn't catch, was firmly grasped by the system.
Li Yunmu nodded toward Li Yun and Li Mei. "Then let's go. We should also follow them and see what sort of secret is hidden in the depths of the cave."
It had to be said that after Li Yun obtained the island's acknowledgement and inheritance, there weren't many places on the island that could make a successor like Li Yun feel apprehensive.
