What kind of girl would travel to another world?

As mentioned in the previous chapter, You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi had joined the adventure team for the second time today, entering the dungeon of Corpse Curtain Cave. They hadn't recovered the remaining materials from the mid-level monsters yesterday, but today they had. The adventure team had completed their mission, and now they were desperate to find the "treasure chest" they had seen yesterday.

Afterwards, they entered a passageway near the large, speed-swimming monster. After killing several mid-level monsters along the way, they emerged from another passageway and returned to the original location of the large, speed-swimming monster. At this point, they were all confused. They hadn't missed any of the forks, but they hadn't found the "treasure chest."

At this moment, You Jiahui suddenly remembered a place she hadn't thoroughly checked. It was the small, waterless space where the speed-swimmer had just been killed. They hadn't carefully examined the curved stone walls there. Although there seemed to be no path there at first glance, they couldn't be sure if there was a narrow gap leading to another place.

You Jiahui reminded others, "That's not right! Let's go back. There's still a place we haven't been to." As she spoke, she turned around.

Yang Mingyi, who was originally chattering and "discussing" with the adventure team, immediately turned around and asked You Jiahui in confusion, "Ah? We have all been here, is there any place we haven't been to?" After that, she kept looking at You Jiahui.

You Jiahui told Yang Mingyi, "Where else could it be? It's right where that fast-swimming monster was standing!" After saying that, she walked back to the passage she had been in.

Torsi said to the others: "Yes, yes, yes! Just like when we found the lair of the "final monster" before, maybe there was a narrow gap there just now, but we didn't see it!" As he said that, he couldn't help laughing.

After hearing this, Diwuan and Uribian immediately took a deep breath and made an "Oh" sound at the same time.

Yang Mingyi did not follow them and said "Oh", but could not wait even a second. She quickly turned around and ran back while laughing, and soon ran past You Jiahui.

You Jiahui stopped Yang Mingyi and said, "Why are you so anxious? What if there's a monster in there? Can you defeat it?"

When Yang Mingyi heard this, she immediately stopped laughing and thought to herself, "Yeah, I can't beat him alone..." Then she slowed down and walked back happily.

Although Yang Mingyi slowed down her pace to wait for You Jiahui, the three members of the adventure team quickened their pace, rushing to the small waterless space where the fast-swimming monster was, and immediately split up to look for any narrow gaps that might exist.

After searching for a while, they heard Ulypian excitedly shouting to others, "Come and see! There really is a narrow gap here that we can pass through!" After that, he kept pointing at the gap.

After hearing this, Di Wuan and Torsi hurried over to check it out.

You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi had just left the shallow water and were about to walk towards the narrow gap that Uribian mentioned.

Di Wuan immediately untied his bag and placed it on the ground, then volunteered to the others, saying, "I'll go in first! I'm tough and sturdy, so I can handle any emergencies!" He glanced at the others. Seeing no one objected, he was the first to enter the narrow gap, carrying his bag and shield as he slipped sideways.

The others also waited outside the gap for a while before they heard Di Wuan shouting at them from the other side of the gap: "There are no monsters in there! Come in!"

The others then passed through the gap one after another and went to the other side.

After reaching the other side of the gap, they all saw the "treasure chest" they had been looking for.

Di Wuan said to the others, "I've looked everywhere. There are no monsters here, and there are no traps on the ground."

Yang Mingyi was a little cautious at first, but after hearing what Di Wuan said, she immediately rushed over to open the "treasure chest".

When Di Wuan saw Yang Mingyi about to touch the "treasure chest", he immediately stopped her and said, "Mage! Be careful! The treasure chest may have a mechanism!" After that, he quickly ran over with a shield.

Before Yang Mingyi's hand even touched the "treasure chest", she immediately retracted it and turned back to ask Di Wuan, "Mechanism? No way? Then how do we open this treasure chest?" Then, not daring to touch the "treasure chest", she could only stand there and wait.

While Yang Mingyi was waiting, others also came to the "treasure chest" one after another.

Diwuan asked Euripian, "Can you sense anything?"

Uribian told Diwuan, "I'm not sure, let me take a look first." After that, he squatted in front of the "treasure chest" and began to check it.

The "treasure chest" in front of Ulybian looked a bit big, much bigger than the "treasure chests" Qi Xinyang had seen in the "abandoned underground palace".

Diwuan placed his shield before the "treasure chest," and Euripian drew an arrow from his quiver and struck the "treasure chest" with the arrowhead. With Diwuan's assistance, Euripian examined the "treasure chest" for a while, but nothing happened.

Yang Mingyi anxiously asked Uribian, "How is it? Is there no trap?"

You Jiahui immediately pulled Yang Mingyi, signaling her not to interfere with Uribian.

Eurypian then put his ear to the "treasure chest" and after a while, told others, "There is nothing unusual." After that, he put the arrow he had just taken out back into the quiver.

After hearing this, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

You Jiahui asked Uribian, "Can you open it?"

Uribian checked the "treasure chest" and replied to You Jiahui, "It's locked. And it's made of iron, so I'm afraid it's going to be hard to break open." He then tried to lift the "treasure chest," but it wouldn't budge at all. He immediately told the others, "It's not an iron chest. The whole thing is made of iron, and it's very heavy."

After hearing this, Yang Mingyi's eyes widened, and she threw her hands away and tried to force open the "treasure chest." After fiddling with it for a while, the "treasure chest" remained motionless.

After looking at it, You Jiahui shook her head and asked the three members of the adventure team, "Do you know how to pick a lock?"

The three members of the adventure team shook their heads simultaneously. There were five of them in total, and none of them knew how to pick a lock.

Torsi said to Diwuan, "Captain, you are stronger. See if you can break the lock open."

Di Wu An thought, "Let's give it a try. Just watching isn't going to help." With that thought in mind, he agreed and immediately picked up his shield and smashed the lock of the "treasure chest" with the bottom corner. However, he couldn't break it open at all. The "treasure chest" remained intact.

They began to worry. The "treasure chest" they had been looking for was finally right in front of them, but they couldn't open it. They just gathered around the "treasure chest", tinkering with it from time to time, and discussing it from time to time.

After an unknown amount of time, unable to open the "treasure chest" and unable to think of a solution, You Jiahui began to wander around the confined space. She couldn't understand why such a large space was needed for a treasure chest. She thought to herself, "This place is almost as big as the lair of the demon-headed bats. But there are no high-level monsters here, not even specialized large mid-level monsters. Why is this..." She pondered, observing along the stone wall. Then, she found the gap she had seen yesterday.

They had seen the "treasure chest" through this gap in the secret passage on the other side yesterday. Unfortunately, the gap was too small and there was no room for them to pass through. Otherwise, they would have found the "treasure chest" yesterday.

Yang Mingyi, who had been squatting down in frustration, saw You Jiahui start to wander around, and said to the three members of the adventure team: "Maybe the key is hidden in this place, let's spread out and look around." After that, she stood up and started to walk around the place.

After hearing what Yang Mingyi said, the three members of the adventure team all felt that it made sense, and they immediately dispersed and searched around the place for the "key" that could open the "treasure chest".

After some time, Di Wuan, who had not found the "key", returned to the "treasure chest". Somehow, he picked up the entire "treasure chest".

Di Wuan said happily to others: "Look! I can lift it!" As he spoke, he turned around and showed it to others.

After seeing it, Yang Mingyi laughed and said to Di Wuan, "That's great! Take it back first! Yeah!" As she said that, she jumped up happily.

Everyone present was also very excited. Torsi immediately said to Di Wuan excitedly: "Go! Go!"

Just as they were all about to leave happily, Ulypian looked at the exit and immediately said to the others, "But you can't get through that gap." He pointed to the narrow gap through which they came in.

Torsi's excitement was immediately dampened, and he said to Di Wuan in a calm tone: "Yes, Captain. The gap is too narrow, and the treasure chest can't pass through..."

Di Wuan was stunned. He stood there stupidly holding the "treasure chest", staring at the gap, without moving.

Yang Mingyi immediately squatted down again, muttering to herself, "Oh no! It's all in vain. I finally found it..." Then, she turned around and looked at the place where the treasure chest had been placed. She immediately said to the others, "Hey! What's that? Look!" Then, she pointed to the place where the treasure chest had been placed.

I saw that the ground where the treasure chest was originally placed was slowly rising and finally bulged into a mound of earth.

Suddenly, the entire curtain hole began to shake violently.

Yang Mingyi held onto the ground with her hands, her feet shaking from the shaking. She immediately shouted nervously, "What's going on? Why is there such a sudden earthquake?"

The others were also being tossed around and had no time to talk to Yang Mingyi.

After shaking for a while, the entire curtain cave finally returned to calm again.

Di Wuan immediately asked the others, "Is anyone injured?" He was the only one who hadn't been significantly affected by the shaking. He was still standing there, holding the "treasure chest."

At this time, Torsi was lying on the ground, touching his butt and said, "Wow, it hurts..." He just fell directly on his butt.

Ulybian was okay, he squatted down in time and didn't get shaken and fall.

Yang Mingyi asked You Jiahui, "Jiahui, are you okay?" As she spoke, she was unable to stand up immediately because her legs were still shaking a little.

You Jiahui replied to Yang Mingyi, "I'm fine." She had been leaning against the wall and was not knocked down.

After confirming with each other that no one was seriously injured, they gathered together again.

You Jiahui asked Yang Mingyi, "What did you discover just now? Why did the earthquake suddenly happen?" She had only heard Yang Mingyi shouting and had not seen the subtle changes on the ground.

Yang Mingyi replied to You Jiahui, "It's that place! A bulge suddenly appeared on the ground where the treasure chest was placed just now." As she spoke, she pointed to the place where the "treasure chest" was originally placed.

Di Wuan said to the others, "It seems to be a trap. We were careless..."

Torsi asked Di Wuan, "Mechanism? I didn't see anything appear, and there was no change here..." After saying that, he immediately looked around.

Eurypian immediately said to the others, "Oh no! Look at that gap!" As he spoke, he pointed to the narrow gap through which he had just entered.

Only then did the others see that the narrow gap was now completely closed.

Torsi hurried over to check and immediately confirmed that the gap had been completely sealed. Then he turned around, shook his head at the others, and sighed.

Yang Mingyi was so anxious that she burst into tears, crying and saying, "It's over! I'm going to starve to death here! Wuuuuuuuuuu..." Then she collapsed on the ground and continued crying.

The three members of the adventure team were also very depressed at this time and sat directly on the ground.

You Jiahui immediately returned to the other crevice she had seen earlier, which led to the secret passage they had passed through yesterday. She examined the stone wall's structure and noticed a difference from the others. Upon closer inspection, she could tell it was slightly darker than the others. Then, she touched and knocked on it.

After thinking for a while, You Jiahui turned around and shouted at Yang Mingyi, "Oh! Stop crying!" Then she said to Di Wuan, "Captain! Come and take a look! This stone wall is a little different." After that, she patted the stone wall again.

So, after being trapped here, how can they get out?
