Guang Bei and the other three had an indifferent attitude. For cultivators, exploring certain places was one of their greatest hobbies. Regardless of whether or not they found anything, it would always satisfy their curiosity!
Lou Xiaoyi was a little different. He hated exploring unknown places the most, especially dark and damp places like underground caves. According to his thinking, there were only two ways to deal with this kind of thing!
Either throw down explosive talismans and other similar explosive items, or simply seal the entrance. Either way was better than going down alone! This was the same way he dealt with the Dao child incident in Spearpoint Town. Either he didn't take the initiative, or he would jump out himself and deal with it in broad daylight. Wasn't that better?
But Guang Bei and the other two clearly didn't think so. This was a completely different attitude towards cultivation. They were very interested in this underground cave. Their diplomatic mission was about to be completed. In these five years, other than the somewhat thrilling encounter with the Mountain Python Tribe, all other places were stagnant waters. This caused their hearts to beat wildly. Seeing that there was still something new to unearth before the end of the mission, they absolutely couldn't let it go!
If they changed places, even if no one invited them, they would still have to sneak down!
Lou Xiaoyi didn't stop them. In fact, with his current status in the team, he was no longer a small follower, but a member. He had the qualifications to voice his opinions, but they were only opinions.
Moreover, the cluster of luck in his mind didn't change at all!
This thing had already become a sore point for him. Before he reached Foundation Establishment, it had appeared twice, and then there was no more activity. Apart from being able to see if others had this fragment of luck, it didn't seem to have any other use?
But no matter what, no change was a good thing. Was it just an adventure?
The four of them quickly arrived at the underground cave with the Patriarch. It was a very hidden place behind a huge mountain rock. Under the cover of vines, it would be very difficult for non-native mountain people to find it.
Yan Bo moved. With a wave of his flying sword, the cave entrance was cleaned up, revealing a large hole that was several feet wide. Cold air surged up from within, and when he probed with his divine sense, there was no end to it.
Guang Bei looked at the Patriarch. "Patriarch, are you interested in going down to investigate?"
The Patriarch was a sensible person, otherwise he wouldn't be sitting in this position. He knew this was an order to leave, but it could also be a risky invitation. It all depended on how he chose.
"I'm old, and I don't think I'll be able to do anything. I still have a lot of clan affairs to take care of, so I won't be participating, right?"
After he finished speaking, he left on his own. In the world of Fifth Ring Cultivators, there was a set of procedures for searching for secrets. This was done to avoid unnecessary disputes!
For example, this cave was discovered by the Wangbei Tribe. Of course, they had the right to take a share of it. But the key was that they had already tried and found nothing. They even lost three cultivators. The incident was no longer about exploring the secret, but dealing with hidden worries. The difference was huge!
If there were any unexpected gains after he went down, should he get a share of it? You can't expect someone else to help you deal with the problem and still want to share the rewards with you, right? There could only be one of the two!
Either you go down with us, and you will get a share; or you leave, and the harvest will have nothing to do with you. But if you solve the hidden problem in the cave, you have achieved your goal.
Nothing could be accomplished without rules. Everyone knew that.
Guang Bei looked at his companions with a solemn expression. "We have to go down and explore. This has nothing to do with the so-called mystic realm!
Wangbei New Appendage, this is the first request. We can't disappoint them. It shows that I, Xuanyuan, am not responsible!
We can't report this to the Faction. We don't even dare to go in. It's not the Swordsman's style to talk about the dangers inside!
Let's put aside whether we can solve it or not. At least, we have to know what's inside.
This could be a trap. The Wangbei Tribe may or may not know. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to find out the truth!
I'll go down first. At least I have to figure out the general structure of this cave. I won't go too deep. The limit is a hundred feet. Then I'll come out and we'll discuss the next step! "
Lou Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. Senior Brother Guang Bei was indeed shrewd and cautious. Even at the last stage of the mission, he didn't let down his guard. This was a rare quality. He deserved to be in the top 100 of the ranking list. He wasn't reckless and knew what to do and what to be careful of.
Seeing Guang Bei disappear into the cave, Yan Bo explained, "There are three rules for Inner Sword Foundation Establishment. You can't go into a different space, you can't go into a narrow environment, and you can't go into unfamiliar teammates!
It's not absolute. It's just a reminder. When you encounter these three situations, you have to consider in advance whether there are any traps.
For us Foundation Establishment, it's a problem whether we can come back from a different space! In history, countless Swordsman have gone missing because of this reason. Of course, it's the same for Dharma Cultivators. Foundation Establishment can't break through the walls of space. Even Jin Dan isn't confident. Only Yuanying can ignore the restrictions of space!
I don't need to say anything about unfamiliar teammates. You can all understand. It's hard to know what's in a person's heart. I, Xuanyuan, have made many enemies in the Fifth Ring. I can't distinguish between the open and the hidden.
I was wronged! "Yan Cheng asked," This cave may not be a different space. We're all from the same sect. Senior Brother, do you mean this is a narrow environment that's not easy to enter? "
Yan Bo nodded. "Just now, I used my divine sense to explore. The space within a thousand feet is as narrow as the entrance of a cave. It's not convenient for one person to move around, let alone the four of us!
The walls of the cave are all made of rock. Without a Yuanying level Earth Escape, it's impossible to enter!
In this kind of place, the power of flying swords is limited to the extreme. Even for us Inner Swords, it's even worse for you Outer Swords. You only have the ability to wield a sword. This is a Swordsman's biggest taboo!
Dharma Cultivators are in a much better situation than us because they're not used to moving vertically. They're like magic cannons. A fire spell is like adding wings to a tiger in this place!
This is why Senior Brother has to be careful! "
Yan Cheng and Lou Xiaoyi nodded in agreement. They were indeed inexperienced when it came to these details. They couldn't even compare to Yan Bo, let alone Guang Bei.
If you don't try, you'll never get experience.
"Your divine sense can only go down a thousand feet?" Lou Xiaoyi asked a technical question. For Foundation Establishment cultivators like them, their divine sense should have a range of about three thousand feet. It didn't make sense for it to weaken so much in the cave.
Yan Bo smiled bitterly. "After a thousand feet, there are continuous bends in the cave. My divine sense interferes, so I can't see clearly!"
This was the limitation of divine sense, or rather, the limitation of Foundation Establishment cultivators' divine sense. After continuous bends in a narrow environment, not only would the strength of divine sense weaken rapidly, but it would also interfere with each other due to continuous collisions with the cave walls. It was just like the radar in his previous life that had a lot of clutter.
The key point was that their current divine sense, or rather, their brain's ability to process countless information, was still too weak. They couldn't extract useful information from it, so what they saw was a blur.
While they were discussing, a figure flashed at the entrance of the cave. Guang Bei jumped out!
