Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Xiao Muchen and the others finished their meeting with Lin Dong and returned to their residence with a lot on their mind. Along the way, no one spoke, and everyone's heart seemed to be weighed down by a heavy stone, which was the unknown and choice about the Immortal Ancient Cave Mansion.

Xiao Muchen was the first to break the silence, his voice carrying a hint of fatigue and confusion: "This ancient immortal cave, from what Senior Lin Dong said, is extremely dangerous. Each of those restrictions, mechanisms, and guardian beasts could make us go without return." As he spoke, he walked into the house, found a chair to sit down, and rubbed his temples with both hands.

Lin Wan'er followed behind, her eyes flashing with determination: "Brother Xiao, I understand your concerns. But think about it, if we can gain opportunities in such a mysterious and powerful place, our strength will be greatly enhanced. This may be our only chance to change our destiny." She walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, the breeze blew through her hair, but it could not blow away the desire in her heart.

Ye Feng sat down on the ground carelessly and shouted, "That's right! What are you afraid of? We have been on the verge of life and death all the time along the way. No matter how dangerous this ancient cave is, can it be more terrifying than what we have experienced before?" His voice was loud and confident, as if he did not take the upcoming danger seriously at all.

Ling Shuang stood quietly aside, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Ye Feng, don't be reckless. Lin Wan'er is right. This is indeed a rare opportunity, but Xiao Muchen's worries are not unreasonable. We can't act rashly based on enthusiasm alone. We must be fully prepared and have detailed plans." His voice was steady and calm, which made people trust him.

Chu Li walked into the room gently, holding some herbs she had just collected, and whispered, "No matter what, I will do my best to prepare enough pills and healing medicines for everyone." There was a hint of tenderness and determination on her face. Although her strength was not the strongest among everyone, her determination was not weak at all.

Everyone fell silent, and a tense and tangled atmosphere filled the room.

A few days later, Martial Ancestor Lin Dong sent a message asking them to go to his mansion for a chat. Xiao Muchen and the others came to Lin Dong's magnificent mansion again with trepidation.

In the lobby of the mansion, Lin Dong was sitting at the top. His eyes were deep and majestic, making people dare not look directly at him.

“The Immortal Ancient Cave was left behind by an ancient powerful being. It is filled with dangers, restrictions, mechanisms, and guardian beasts, all of which are terrifying. But the treasures and skills inside are enough to make a person soar to the sky.” Lin Dong’s voice echoed in the hall, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone’s heart.

Xiao Muchen and the others were terrified when they heard this, and their faces became solemn.

“That restriction was set up by an ancient powerful being with omnipotent powers. It contains powerful forces and complex laws, and it is not something that ordinary people can crack. The mechanism is extremely ingenious, and if you are not careful, it will trigger a deadly trap. And the guardian beasts are all ancient species, possessing unimaginable strength and brutal nature.” Lin Dong continued, his words made everyone feel a chill rising from their spines.

“However, if you can successfully enter the cave and obtain the treasures and skills within, your strength will make a qualitative leap, and you may even be able to break through your current realm and reach a higher level. But all this depends on your courage, wisdom and determination.” After Lin Dong finished speaking, he swept his eyes over the crowd, as if waiting for their decision.

Xiao Muchen and others looked at each other, their hearts full of contradictions and struggles.

Back at the residence, everyone started a heated discussion again.

"It's so dangerous, do we really want to go?" Xiao Muchen hesitated, his eyes full of worry.

"Brother Xiao, how do we know if it works if we don't try? We can't just miss this opportunity." Lin Wan'er retorted, her hands clenched into fists, her body trembling slightly, and she was obviously very nervous inside, but her eyes were always firm.

Ye Feng stood up suddenly and said loudly: "That's right, we can't retreat! We have finally come this far, how can we give up just because of a little danger?" His face was flushed with excitement, as if he couldn't wait to rush into the ancient fairy cave.

Ling Shuang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Everyone calm down first. We must admit that this is an extremely dangerous adventure. But as Lin Wan'er said, this is also a rare opportunity. We can't give up easily, but we can't act blindly. We must go, but before that, we have to make a detailed plan and be as fully prepared as possible."

Xiao Muchen nodded and said, "Ling Shuang is right. Let's analyze the information Senior Lin Dong gave us first to see if we can find some ways to break the restrictions and mechanisms."

So, in the following days, Xiao Muchen buried himself in a pile of ancient books and scrolls almost all day, desperately looking for any clues that might be related to the Immortal Ancient Cave. His eyes were full of bloodshot, but he did not dare to relax at all. He studied every word and every picture carefully, for fear of missing any important information.

Lin Wan'er locked herself in the martial arts training ground, practicing swordsmanship day and night. Her sword gleamed coldly in the sun, and every swing made a whirring sound. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, but she seemed not to feel tired. She had only one belief in her heart: to make herself stronger and prepare for the upcoming adventure.

Ye Feng set up various obstacles in the yard and worked hard to train his body and reaction ability. He jumped over the obstacles again and again and fell down again and again, but he always gritted his teeth and got up and continued training. His body was covered with scars, but his eyes became more and more determined.

Ling Shuang was in the room carefully preparing various weapons and defensive equipment. He carefully checked the sharpness of each sword and the sturdiness of each piece of armor, constantly improving and perfecting them, striving to ensure that everyone has the best equipment in battle.

Chu Li was busy in the pharmacy, concentrating on refining various pills and spells. The flames in the medicine furnace were burning, and her face was full of concentration and seriousness. The refining of each pill required a lot of her energy and spiritual power, but she never complained, just to provide protection for everyone at the critical moment.

Finally, the day of departure approached.

Xiao Muchen gathered everyone together, his eyes swept across everyone's face, and said: "Tomorrow, we will embark on the journey to the Immortal Ancient Cave Mansion. Along the way, we may encounter countless difficulties and dangers, but I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome them."

Lin Wan'er clenched the sword in her hand and said, "Brother Xiao, we will definitely succeed."

Ye Feng patted his chest and said loudly: "Haha, with me here, I'm not afraid of any difficulties!"

Ling Shuang nodded and said, "Everyone, please be careful."

Chu Li smiled and said, "I believe in us."

Everyone's eyes met, full of determination and expectation. They knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns, but they were ready to meet the unknown challenges...
