Chapter 2434 Entering the Cave
After walking and stopping for a long time, the front suddenly became clear and a neatly shaped cave appeared in front of us.
This cave was obviously artificially excavated. The entrance is perfectly arched and the walls are smooth and flat, which is completely different from the surrounding naturally formed caves.
The interior of the cave was filled with thick blood-red fog, dyeing the entire space scarlet.
The fog is not static, but flows slowly like a living thing, sometimes condensing and sometimes dispersing, making it difficult to see the specific situation inside the cave.
"Master, there was no fog here when I came last time." Yue Ling stood beside Matthew, her voice soft but solemn. It has been a long time since my last visit, and it seems that there have been some changes here. "
Matthew nodded slightly, his eyes always fixed on the depths of the cave.
He did not doubt that Yue Ling had taken the wrong road, because apart from the strange blood-colored fog, everything he saw along the way was exactly the same as described in the Golden Armor.
Huang Jinjia had told him in detail the characteristics of the cave where Jiu Shao Bai Xiu Yi was located, including the rock formations along the way and even the unique spiritual fluctuations in the air. These details matched one by one, except for the sudden appearance of blood-colored mist in the cave, which was an accident.
"Golden Armor said that there are a lot of restrictions and magic arrays in this cave."
Matthew said in a deep voice, his voice echoing in the empty cave.
"It was already difficult to deal with, and now with the fog, the situation has become even more complicated."
After saying that, he raised his right hand, and a dozen fist-sized balls of light condensed in his palm.
These light balls emit a soft white light, which appears particularly bright against the blood-red mist.
With a flick of Matthew's wrist, balls of light flew into the cave one after another.
However, the moment the light balls touched the mist, they suddenly disappeared as if they were swallowed, without even a trace of light left.
Upon seeing this, Xing Yan immediately made hand gestures and chanted a spell, and a green wind blade shot out from her fingertips.
Yue Ru was not to be outdone. She formed seals with her hands and summoned a beam of ice-blue light.
The magic spells of the two people were submerged in the blood-red mist almost at the same time, but also disappeared without a trace the moment they came into contact with the mist.
Matthew frowned slightly and took out a silver-white throwing knife from his storage bag.
The flying knife was about three inches long, with fine runes engraved on the blade. When the magic power was activated, the flying knife suddenly glowed, and then turned into a silver line and shot into the depths of the cave.
Everyone's eyes followed the trajectory of the flying knife.
Matthew, Xingyan and Yueru all attached a wisp of their spiritual consciousness to the flying knife, trying to use the flying knife to explore the situation inside the cave.
However, the moment the flying knife entered the mist, everyone's faces changed.
The flying knife disappeared.
What was even more shocking was that the spiritual consciousness attached to it also disappeared, as if it had been cut off by some force.
Matthew felt a sharp pain coming from his sea of consciousness, it was the pain of his spiritual consciousness being forcibly stripped away.
He narrowed his eyes, trying to sense the flying knife again, but found that the connection with the magic weapon had been completely severed.
"This mist can not only devour spells and magic weapons, but also cut off spiritual consciousness connections."
Matthew said in a deep voice, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
"It seems that this is not an ordinary trick."
Xing Yan took a step forward and carefully observed the flow of the blood-colored mist: "Master, this mist seems to be particularly sensitive to spiritual power. The stronger the spell we release, the faster it will devour it."
Yue Ru added thoughtfully, "Could it be some special restriction? I've seen in ancient books that some high-level restrictions can form a barrier similar to mist, specifically targeting the magic weapons and spiritual consciousness of cultivators."
Matthew did not respond immediately, his eyes falling to a stone at his feet.
He squatted down, his eyes stayed on the stone for a moment, then he slowly reached out and picked it up steadily.
He weighed the stone gently, feeling its weight and texture in his hands.
After confirming that it was correct, he took a deep breath, waved his arm, and the stone flew out like an arrow.
The stone drew a straight arc in the air and fell towards the cave like a meteor.
It passed through the thick blood-red fog at the entrance of the cave, as if there was no obstacle at all.
The stone finally landed accurately on the floor of the cave, making a crisp "clang" sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet cave entrance.
Everyone stared at this scene and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
The corners of Matthew's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
He slowly said, "Interesting, this mist only reacts to spiritual energy."
There was a hint of deep thought in his eyes, as if he had seen a deeper meaning in this seemingly simple phenomenon.
Then, he turned to the Man-Xiao King, his eyes firm and clear: "Try to see if you can get in."
The Man-God King roared, and the sound seemed to be able to shock people.
It took heavy steps and rushed towards the cave with a fearless momentum.
When its huge body just touched the blood-colored mist, the mist in the entire cave entrance suddenly became violent, like an angry ocean, with surging waves and churning endlessly.
The blood-colored mists collided and blended with each other, as if they were trying their best to resist the invasion of the Man-God King.
However, to everyone's surprise, the seemingly clumsy body of the Man-God King was able to thrive in the fog, and its huge body began to move forward slowly.
The fog rolled and surged around it, as if trying to swallow it up, but in the end, everyone could only helplessly watch it disappear from their sight bit by bit.
After a moment, the Goblin King slowly retreated from the mist.
Its expression was calm, as if it had just faced an ordinary wild beast.
It shook its head, and its broad head trembled slightly, as if conveying a message to everyone.
Matthew's eyes were fixed on the Man-God King. When he saw the Man-God King shaking his head, his brows furrowed slightly and he fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he slowly said, "It seems that this fog has no effect on evil things. But it is a huge obstacle for us monks."
These words were like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, causing everyone to fall silent.
At this moment, a gleam of determination flashed in Yue Ling's eyes.
She stepped forward and walked straight towards the cave despite everyone's attempts to stop her.
However, what no one expected was that when Yue Ling's slender figure came into contact with the blood-colored mist, a "hissing" sound immediately came from her body, as if countless tiny sparks were flashing.
The mist seemed to sense her breath and began to surge wildly, trying to swallow her up.
Yue Ling's face turned pale in an instant. She clenched her teeth and tried to stay calm.
However, the invasion of the fog became more and more fierce, her figure began to tremble, and finally she retreated from the fog reluctantly.
Her clothes were already somewhat torn, and a few strands of her hair were charred black by the mist, emitting an unpleasant odor.
Her expression was full of fear and helplessness, and she had obviously suffered a great loss in the previous confrontation.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Afterwards, sisters Xingyan and Yueru also came forward and tried to find out what was going on.
However, their situations are exactly the same as Yue Ling's.
As soon as they came into contact with the blood-colored mist, they also felt a strong attack.
The mist seemed to be mocking their recklessness. It surged wildly and wrapped them tightly.
Sisters Xingyan and Yueru struggled to resist the invasion of the fog, using all the magic power in their bodies to resist.
However, the power of the mist was far beyond their imagination. It was like a bottomless black hole, constantly devouring their spiritual power.
In the end, they also retreated from the fog helplessly.
Their faces were as pale as paper, and their eyes were full of fatigue and helplessness.
They knew that the blood-colored mist had a very strong restraining effect on them and was almost impossible to resist.
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
At the entrance of the cave, only Matthew was left who had not yet tried.
Matthew did not hesitate at all. He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination, as if he had made some decision.
He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and walked directly into the cave.
When his body came into contact with the blood-red mist that was so thick that it was almost impossible to dissolve, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
They stared closely at Matthew's back, afraid of missing any details.
However, what was strange was that when Matthew entered the fog, the blood-colored fog around him actually calmed down and no longer churned violently like before.
His entire body seemed to blend into the chaotic mist, achieving some kind of wonderful balance with the surrounding environment.
Matthew moved forward steadily in the fog, each step firm and powerful.
He could feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the mist, but it couldn't cause him any harm.
This wonderful balance surprised him a little, but also made him more interested in the secrets within the cave.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and their tense expressions relaxed a lot at this moment.
As long as Matthew is okay, the tension in their hearts can relax a little.
"You guys wait outside, I'll go in and take a look." Matthew turned around and whispered to the three people opposite him.
His voice echoed at the entrance of the cave, as if carrying a hint of inexplicable firmness.
Afterwards, he and the Man-Goblin King gradually disappeared into the cave.
Just as Matthew entered, a bright light suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Immediately afterwards, the light turned into a light curtain that completely sealed the entrance to the cave.
When Xing Yan and the other two saw this, their expressions suddenly changed.
However, they couldn't enter the cave at all.
The three of them walked up to the light curtain and reached out to press it.
They found that the light curtain was like a solid rock wall.
Then, they began to try to attack the light curtain.
He used all sorts of methods, but was unable to do anything to the light curtain.
No matter how they attacked, the light curtain was so hard that it was hopeless.
After the attack failed, the three of them could only try to shout at the light curtain hoping that Matthew inside could hear them.
