Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Chapter 489: The Amulet's "Lock Picking Skill" and an Unexpected Journey to the Mysterious Cave

In the previous chapter, Qin Feng and his companions successfully used the power of the amulet to defeat the dark sect's raid, and discovered the resonance between the amulet and the phantom step, further improving their combat effectiveness. Now, everyone is full of curiosity and expectations about the power of the amulet, and decides to continue exploring the secrets behind it.

However, Qin Feng and his crew did not expect that this time the amulet would take them on a mysterious cave adventure full of thrills and laughter.

After the battle, Qin Feng and his companions rested and thought about the secret of the amulet. The amulet hung quietly around Qin Feng's waist, with a blue light flickering, as if waiting for something.

"The power of this amulet has not yet been fully demonstrated." Ye Li looked up at the amulet and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps it still hides more secrets."

"We have discovered that it can improve our Phantom Step, and maybe it can do more interesting things." Chu Tian looked at the amulet with anticipation, as if waiting for it to do something else.

Qin Feng nodded and examined the amulet carefully. Suddenly, he found some subtle runes appearing on the amulet. These runes looked like ancient writing and emitted a faint light.

"I didn't see these runes yesterday." Qin Feng frowned and said, "It seems to be guiding us to somewhere."

Zhang Meng came over to take a look, then laughed and said, "I see! This amulet is to lead us to the treasure, right? With it, we will be able to dig up more good things sooner or later!"

Chu Tian immediately followed up: "Then what are you waiting for? Follow the amulet, maybe you can really find a super treasure!"

Although everyone was discussing with laughter, Qin Feng knew in his heart that the amulet would never change for no reason, there must be a deeper reason. So, he suggested: "Let's follow the guidance of the amulet and see if we can find new clues."

The light of the amulet became stronger and stronger. Qin Feng and his companions followed the guidance of the amulet all the way through a dense forest and came to the foot of a seemingly inconspicuous mountain. The scene here was plain and ordinary, with almost nothing special except for a few scattered boulders.

"This place doesn't look like a treasure trove." Zhang Meng scratched his head, obviously disappointed.

Ye Li walked to the front of the mountain wall, reached out and touched the surface, and suddenly discovered something: "Wait a minute, something is wrong here." She pushed one of the boulders hard, and sure enough, the stone was able to move!

After the boulder slowly moved, a hidden cave was revealed. The cave was bottomless and a faint ancient breath could be felt coming from inside.

"It seems we have found the place." Qin Feng nodded and signaled everyone to be careful.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Chu Tian couldn't wait any longer. He was the first to jump into the cave, and his voice echoed from inside, "Hey! It's very spacious inside! And there are no traps!"

"This kid is always so impatient." Ye Li chuckled and shook his head, then followed him into the cave.

After entering the cave, everyone found that the space inside the cave was indeed much larger than expected. The surrounding stone walls were engraved with strange symbols, as if recording ancient legends. The blue light of the amulet illuminated their path in the darkness and continued to guide them forward.

"This place is quite mysterious." Zhang Meng looked around as he walked, "But it looks a bit deserted, there is no smell of treasure."

"Maybe the real treasure is even deeper." Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword and remained alert.

However, not long after they started walking, they encountered an accident - the road ahead was suddenly blocked by a huge stone gate. The stone gate was also engraved with complex symbols, which looked like some kind of seal.

"Why does this door look like an old safe?" Chu Tian muttered, "Do we have to break a code to get in?"

Zhang Meng pushed the stone door, but found it didn't move at all: "This door is much heavier than I thought."

Qin Feng carefully observed the runes on the stone door. Suddenly, the light of the amulet became more dazzling, as if responding to the words on the stone door. He immediately raised the amulet and approached the stone door. Sure enough, the blue light of the amulet slowly penetrated into the stone door, and the runes on the stone door began to emit a soft light, and then slowly opened.

"It seems that the amulet is the key to open the door." Ye Li said with a smile.

"Wow! The amulet actually has the 'lock picking' skill!" Chu Tian said in surprise, "This thing is simply a master key!"

"If it can help us open more doors, then this adventure will definitely be worth it." Qin Feng smiled and signaled everyone to move on.

When the stone door was fully opened, a dazzling light illuminated the entire cave, and everyone squinted their eyes involuntarily. When the light faded slightly, they found themselves standing in a huge stone hall. In the center of the stone hall was an exquisite stone platform, on which was placed an ancient metal box, which was surrounded by a faint blue light.

"Could this be the treasure?" Zhang Meng's eyes lit up, his face full of excitement, "Great, we're going to get rich!"

"Something's wrong..." Ye Li suddenly said, her expression becoming serious, "This place is too quiet, it seems like a trap set for us on purpose."

Qin Feng felt the same way. He raised his hand to stop Zhang Meng's impulse: "Don't be impatient, check the surroundings first."

Everyone began to look around and found that the walls around the stone hall were covered with traces of mechanisms. Obviously, this place once had a strict defense mechanism. But these mechanisms now seemed to be in a stagnant state, as if they were sealed by some force.

"It seems that this metal box is the key." Qin Feng walked to the stone platform and reached out to gently touch the metal box.

The moment he touched the box, the amulet suddenly emitted a strong light, and the entire cave shook again. The runes on the box gradually lit up, as if unlocking some ancient seal.

"Qin Feng, be careful!" Ye Li reminded urgently.

However, just as Qin Feng was about to withdraw his hand, the metal box suddenly opened, and a powerful soul power gushed out of it, instantly enveloping the entire stone hall in blue light.

As the light gradually faded, everyone found themselves still standing in the stone hall, but the scene before them had changed dramatically. The metal box was gone, replaced by a blue gem floating in the air, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.

"What is this?" Chu Tian looked at the gem in surprise, having no idea what was going on.

Ye Li walked forward, sensed the gem, and then showed a hint of surprise: "This seems to be an ancient Horcrux, it resonates with the power of the amulet."

"It's the amulet's fault again!" Zhang Meng laughed and said, "It seems that our expedition was worth it!"

Qin Feng observed the gem carefully and realized that this might be the key clue in their next adventure: "There must be some connection between this gem and the amulet, but the specific power is not clear yet, so we have to explore it slowly."

"Anyway, we finally found new clues." Chu Tian said excitedly, "Now it depends on how we solve these puzzles."

In this way, Qin Feng and his companions returned with a full load of new discoveries from this expedition. The power of the amulet and gems gradually revealed the tip of the iceberg, but the greater mystery and danger behind them were also approaching them...
