Ye chen rubbed his head helplessly.
"Since Pengfei said that it's behind these rocks, why don't we look for it one by one? we shouldn't be too far away and search a small area before moving to another place."
Ye chen said for safety's sake.
Of course, Lin Mo and Peng Fei agreed with him. After nodding, the three of them began to attack the stones, turning them over one by one with all their might or using their spiritual power to explore.
Because they didn't know the size of the cave entrance, they couldn't insert any stones that had the chance of becoming the entrance.
After blindly searching for a while, they all stopped, because there was no such thing here!
"No, I can't just keep looking like this. I can't just keep looking without any clues. It'll be more troublesome."
Ye chen looked at the surrounding mountains and felt that the cave was not far from them but he could not come out.
"Why don't we use our spiritual power to blow up these rocks? or perhaps this rock with a cave behind it might be different from the others?"
Ye Chen's eyes fell on the rocks in the distance. What this mountain lacked the least was withered trees and rocks of all sizes. The bones of animal carcasses could be seen everywhere at his feet.
Now, he was certain that he had gone in the wrong direction. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long. It seemed to be useless.
"Forget it, let's narrow down the scope first!"
"Pengfei, can you roughly determine where this bunch of rocks should be? we can't continue like this. It's so blurry, and we have to look around aimlessly."
Ye chen turned to the Nine-Tailed ROC and said. Peng Fei then nodded.
Then, the bird flapped its wings and flew up, circling around the mountain.
He seemed to be trying to use his own spiritual power to test which part of the body was different.
He thought he wouldn't find anything after going one round, but Peng Fei wasn't willing to give up, so he flew one more round in the air.
This time, he saw it!
There was a small area with a faint golden light in front of them, about three hundred meters away.
The area wasn't small either. It looked to be at least 200 square meters.
"It's really troublesome. The end point written in the book and the map are completely useless. Look, this only circles the mountain and tells us that there is a cave inside. There is no detailed marking of the exact location!"
Ye chen flipped through the book from the front to the back again. He looked at the map and felt speechless.
Lin Mo was indeed very calm and composed at the side. He did not seem to be in a hurry at all, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
After the Nine-Tailed ROC flew down from the sky, it began to speak in bird language.
Ye chen could tell from his expression that he must have gained something, so he put the things away and stood up.
Lin Mo could finally relax a little. He turned around and explained what he had just said to ye chen.
"Pengfei discovered the location of this cave over there, but the area isn't small either. It's probably a large area, but it's more convenient no matter what."
Lin Mo said in a relaxed tone. Ye chen, who was standing at the side, finally smiled.
"That's great. Now, fly us there. We'll find this cave today and solve this matter. Once we're done, we'll go back. "
Ye Chen's mood was always on the rise. Now that he heard that there was a way to find the cave, he suddenly became excited as if he was on steroids.
The Nine-Tailed ROC flew up and stopped again, and it didn't take more than ten seconds.
When they were buried, ye chen and Lin Mo, who was standing at the side, looked at each other at the same time.
They had just come down to this piece of land, but they could already clearly feel that something was not right.
It was as if there was some kind of control that stretched out from the ground, as if it was grabbing their feet and making it difficult for them to even walk a few steps forward.
Of course, it was fortunate that the two of them weren't affected much. It was just that they didn't expect to feel such an obvious attack.
"Alright, alright, let's get started. We need to find this cave quickly."
Ye chen happily stretched his back and began to inspect the rocks in front of him. Lin Mo also walked to the side and pried open the rocks one by one.
At this moment, ye chen walked to a huge rock about ten meters away and stared at it. He felt that the lines on the rock were not simple.
The lines seemed to extend out from the same place, forming a seemingly messy picture. However, upon closer inspection, it was actually a pattern!
"Come over and take a look. What is this?"
Ye chen cried out in surprise. He then called his two companions over. The three of them gathered around and looked at the big rock.
Ye chen could not see what was drawn on it for the time being but he suspected that the cave they were looking for was behind this rock.
Therefore, he was prepared to use his spiritual power to pry the stone open.
Who knew that when he poured out his spirit power, it had no effect on the stone.
He couldn't quite believe it, so he tried again. Who knew that the effect was still the same? the stone didn't move at all.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be the stone right now, but I can't pry it open. Why don't you two try it?"
Ye chen had never liked to show off. When he saw that he could not do it, he immediately let the two of them try.
Lin Mo stepped forward and pressed his hand against the white shirt. He seemed to be exerting force, but the stone had the same effect and was not affected at all.
Tengfei also moved over, and then directly used his body to hit the stone. He wanted to use his mouth to lift the stone, but he couldn 't.
"It looks like we have to find a way to open it. Could the lines on the stone be some kind of clue? Then let's study it again!"
Ye chen said as he stepped back and looked at the image on the screen.
"If it's not related to this image, could it be related to the things around the stone? After all, most of the time when we cleared the game, we would find some grooves and use the key to open them. "
After he said that, the three of them groped around the stone and carefully inspected it. They found nothing and could only focus on the pattern.
Ye chen took out the book and the map that he carried and laid them on the ground. He found only a few patterns but they were completely different from the ones depicted on the stone.
The Nine-Tailed ROC stood to the side and stared at the pattern, but he revealed a thoughtful expression.
He really felt that he had seen this pattern before, but for some reason, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Could it be that he had read about it in his family's records?
"It seems like there's a game on it. Do I have to follow the dots on it and walk?"
Ye chen opened up his mind with all his might, trying to figure out the contents of the book.
At this moment, Peng Fei, who was standing at the side, suddenly had an idea. He remembered when he had seen this pattern. It was the one his mother used to play games with them to relieve their boredom when they were young!
Although his mother did not draw it in such detail, he could still tell that it was this image.
Would it be possible to crack it by using the same method at that time?
Fei flapped its wings anxiously and ran to Lin Mo's side. It started to speak in the bird language.
Lin Mo listened to him and nodded. He carefully memorized the rules of the game and passed them on to ye chen.
"He said that this game is similar to jumping squares. After finding the beginning, two people will jump from two sides and form a pattern, which is a miniature version of the pattern above."
Ye chen was overjoyed when he heard that. How difficult was this game?
"Okay, okay, okay. Then you can get Pengfei to make a miniature of this pattern, and we'll play."
After ye chen had finished speaking, the Nine-Tailed ROC used its mouth to draw a miniature pattern. It looked very similar to the pattern on the big rock they had found.
Ye chen and Lin Mo found the center of the stone. Then, the two of them stood in symmetrical positions and began to form the shape according to the points on the pattern.
"This way. Yes, I'll jump this one."
Ye chen jumped three times to the left and had Lin Mo follow him.
"Turn this way again."
Although the two of them looked very sloppy, they actually walked over according to the prescribed pace after careful study. After a short while, there were only two steps left.
"If we take these two steps together and use the same speed, we should be able to achieve the final success, right?"
After ye chen had finished speaking, he motioned for Lin Mo to lift his foot with him and step on the last spot. The two of them supported each other as they stepped on it.
"You have to wait for five seconds. The effect will only be effective after the five seconds are up."
Lin Mo said softly, frowning slightly. The two of them held each other's arms, and the Golden Rooster stopped there on its own.
A rumbling sound suddenly rang in their ears. The mountain in front of them seemed to have suffered a huge tremor, and the stone they were aiming at seemed to have begun to loosen.
"Quickly Dodge!"
Ye chen called out to the Nine-Tailed ROC, then immediately pulled Lin Mo, who was standing beside him, and hid in the other side.
As soon as he finished speaking, the big rock rolled out as if there was a force pushing it. It passed by them and rolled down the mountain.
After the rock fell, the cave behind it was revealed.
Compared to the size of the stone, the cave was obviously smaller, as if it was half the size of the stone.
It was still daytime, but only the few meters near the entrance of the cave were bright. It was dark inside, and the width of the cave was unknown.
After the rock rolled down the mountain, the mountain returned to its calm state, as if the tremor just now was just an effect.
"Let's go in and see how we can break the curse on you. Maybe there's something good in there?"
Ye chen said with an eager smile. After all, it was very likely that there would be some peerless treasures in such a place.
At that time, if he could obtain it by accident, it could be considered as his luck and fate.
The Nine-Tailed ROC had been shocked, so its body had grown bigger. Now that it had calmed down, it shrank its body.
After all, if they wanted to follow ye chen and the others in, they would not be able to shrink in. They might even squeeze in the hole.
The six-tailed ROC couldn't do this, but the evolved Nine-Tailed great ROC could, and it could even shrink as it pleased.
Ye chen walked in front and had the two of them follow behind him. In his hand, he held a piece of wood he had picked up outside and lit it.
The first few dozen meters of the cave was the same. The area was filled with ordinary soil, and it was smoky, but there was no danger.
"It feels much more ordinary than I thought. Did we go to the wrong place again?"
This kind of cave was likely to be designed by the designer to be a cunning rabbit with Three Burrows. Therefore, if they went the wrong way, they could only admit that they were unlucky and look for another one.
However, it was clear that ye chen was overthinking it because after they walked through this somewhat sealed and sullen road, they were met with a large hole.
"It's much more spacious here, come over quickly!"
Ye chen jumped into the small hole and brought the two of them down. The hole that appeared in front of them was much larger and even had some light coming from somewhere.
When ye chen walked over to take a look, he realized that the stones on the ground were glowing on their own, like night pearls illuminating the cave.
"Could this really be a night-luminescent Pearl? It's as common as ordinary rocks. It seems that we've come to the right place. Let's go and take a look further in. "
Lin Mo stopped and looked around as well. He picked up a stone and weighed it in his hand out of curiosity.
They did not stop for long before ye chen called out to them and walked forward. The cave seemed a little crooked but fortunately, there were more or less these luminous pearls on the ground to light up the cave.
When they reached a corner, ye chen stopped and took out the map. On the map, they would see a large Python crouching in the cave and a mural that could create illusions.
"We haven't encountered any of these yet. It seems that we have to be more vigilant in the future. Let's move closer."
The drawing on the map was still somewhat tattered, but he could still barely make out this.
At the very least, they had to get past the giant python and the mural before they could continue down.
The two humans and one bird continued to walk forward. When they passed a cave, ye chen suddenly stopped and hurriedly reached out to stop his companions behind him.
