Chapter 221.1
They proceeded forward cautiously, each treasure-hunting team maintaining a certain distance from the others with torches in hand.
They noticed that this cave was quite special.
It seemed as if it had been carved out from the entire mountain and rocks, forming a seamless whole.
Another weird thing is the cave was incredibly deep. They had already walked dozens of zhang forward, yet the end was still nowhere in sight.
The light from the torches revealed that the path ahead remained dim and eerily quiet.
Do you think this could be the tomb of Heavenly Khan?
It was the same 16-year-old boy speaking, his voice a mix of excitement and fear, which stood out in the cave.
Its hard to say, but this place must have been man-made! Look here, this path is so straight. It couldnt have been formed naturally!
His eldest senior brother commented.
What a massive undertaking this must have been! Even using martial artists to carve the way, it would take years to create!
Maybe there really is some incredible treasure inside!
It might also be the tomb of the Heavenly Khan
The others remained silent, continuing their journey forward.
Then, after descending another hundred zhang, they still hadnt reached the end.
And the entrance they had come through was no longer visible.
As they delved deeper, they increasingly felt that the cave hid something extraordinary.
It could be someones tomb or some kind of treasure.
Otherwise, who would go to such lengths to create such a cave?
With a mix of excitement and fear, they kept moving forward, and after walking another hundred zhang or so, they came across another two pitch-black cave openings and finally stopped.
It seems we have to choose one of the caves!
The eldest senior brother from the Iron Sword Sect pondered for a moment and said, One of these caves might lead to the treasure, while the other might be a trap! Its also possible that both are traps! So, lets think carefully before we enter!
Eldest senior brother is absolutely right! his junior brothers and sisters all stopped.
The other groups shared the same sentiment.
They carefully observed the two cave openings, trying to choose the safer path.
But in the end, they discovered nothing.
After about the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, someone grew impatient.
Forget it! I came here to find treasure. If I dont seize the opportunity when its right in front of me, wouldnt my trip be in vain? Ill choose this path, you all wait here for me. Im off to make a fortune!
He chose the cave on the left and walked in with his torch.
The crowd became agitated, and a few people followed him, afraid of missing out on the treasure.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
After a while, some chose to enter the other cave.
Gradually, everyone ventured into the dark caves, each seeking their fortune.
So, they chose the left opening and continued on.
However, after another hour, they had gone three or four thousand zhang and still hadnt found their way out.
They continued forward for another hour, and still, there was no exit.
The situation was too bizarre. They were spending an extra hour retracing their steps and still couldnt get out.
At this point, they were completely panicked.
Eldest senior brother, what should we do?
Can we still get out?
Are we going to die here?
With his back drenched in sweat, the eldest senior brother said with a wry smile, Dont ask me, I dont know what to do either!
At this moment, not just them, but others who had entered the cave also couldnt find a way out and were trapped underground.
As the torch in their hands extinguished, they were plunged into panic.
By this time, it was already daylight outside.
The people outside had waited anxiously through the night, yet no one emerged from the cave.
Realizing that something ominous might have occurred, they immediately reported the situation.
Once too many people knew about it, it was no longer a secret.
Thus, the news spread rapidly across the land, causing a sensation in the rivers and lakes.
Did you hear the recent news? Someone found the tomb of the Heavenly Khan in the Wanshou Mountain of Great Xia!
Is that true? Its hard to believe.
Its very likely true! That night, three thunderbolts from the sky struck down Wanshou Mountain! When people rushed over, they found a pitch-black cave that was man-made and bottomless! Tell me, who would go to the trouble of creating such a cave if there wasnt something valuable inside?
What youve said does make some sense
Even if its not the tomb of the Heavenly Khan, it could still be someone elses treasure!
Yeah, lets go check it out!
If we really dig up something incredible, well strike it rich!
Those who sought the treasure set their sights on Wanshou Mountain.
Various powers also sent people to investigate.
