Demon Lord 3

We stayed in this cave for quite a while. Actually, the path ahead was easier, but we were worried about potential collapses. Perhaps we should be grateful for what just happened; it might not have been a bad thing, but rather a good one. This way, those people can no longer enter the cave, and we can enjoy everything inside all to ourselves. However, if anything happens to us here, we'll never get out unless we find the exit. But right now, we can only locate the energy direction. Finding the exit is our biggest challenge so far. It was strange when we first discovered the entrance. Why were we the only ones who knew we had detected it? Didn't those others have a map and know? Or did they also enter through other entrances, but many of them were too weak and got stuck outside due to some major problems? Like, how did we handle the water? If some teams haven't mastered this technique, they'll be hampered by the water at the cave entrance, which is very prone to collapse, burying their entrance. Following this logic, it's possible those people have already found the entrance; some may have entered, others not. However, this is just speculation and not necessarily true. We face several problems. First, we have sufficient food and energy, and water resources—these are not a concern. Then there's what we'll encounter next. We must clearly record every new encounter to prevent missing any important information. We were thinking of recording the entrance, but now we find it blocked, leaving us to search for the exit. But have we really not fallen into a trap? A series of coincidences seem to suggest everyone agrees on one fact: there are many entrances, but only one exit, or even just an entrance with no exit—this is a fatal flaw. After walking a few more steps, I saw something golden. I touched it, feeling a bit curious. Touching the surface revealed gold underneath. My companions gathered around, and we realized that the entire path ahead was paved with gold. Wu Luanshen smiled slightly: "Look at the map, everyone. It's clearly marked here. This golden line points to this place. A few more days' walk will take us to the center. After that, we'll walk twice the distance to get out." My companions were also curious: could they take the gold out of here? Hearing this, I shook my head: "Everyone, try not to take anything from here. This might be a test for us. Also, try to find the exit, even if we don't reach the center. At least record the location of the exit. The exit and the entrance are very different. After entering, you can't see any light, but when you stand in front of the exit, you can see light coming in. Many people have been misled and lost their lives. Also, many exploration teams can come in, and they can come in too. Our way here was cut off, and they're not having an easy time either. Could this be a dead end, with only an entrance and no exit? And there are many entrances?" Xing Zhichuan was stunned after hearing this: "Sister Yue, what you think is similar to what I'm thinking. I thought I was overthinking it, but it confirms my guess even more. It's okay, we still have a chance to turn things around. Don't touch the gold underground now. Just walk through it like a normal road." "We'll get through this. Actually, I've figured it out. This place is probably testing people's worldly nature. Many greedy people will be blinded when they get here." Zhou Chuyuan looked at me approvingly, "I didn't expect that. You've thought of so much, almost as much as our strategist. By the way, has anyone thought about how to get out next? Is the exit marked on the map?" Xing Zhichuan's hand holding the map trembled, and he shook his head, "Not only is the exit not marked, but the entrance isn't marked either. We've only discovered it through our investigation. Judging from this, other maps probably don't show the exit or entrance either. It's just a smokescreen to lure us in. What those people really want to do? We don't know." After hearing this, we all looked at each other in bewilderment. There was no turning back. We could only move forward. Was it possible that by the time our team reached the center, the entire cave would begin to collapse, and we would all perish?
