The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

Matthew, who had experienced many hardships, still adhered to the cautiousness of walking on thin ice and slowly stepped into the unknown cave in front of him.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, Matthew waved his hands lightly, and in an instant, more than a dozen light balls emitting soft light came into being.

These light balls seemed to be endowed with life and mission. They flew out as fast as meteors across the night sky and rushed into the endless darkness deep in the cave.

As he rushed all the way, the darkness was dispelled wherever he went, and the light came instantly, illuminating the originally gloomy and terrifying passage, as clear as day.

With the bright and warm light of the light ball, Matthew's sharp eyes like a hawk quickly swept every inch of the surrounding environment, not missing any corner that might hide danger or secrets.

He found that the inner wall of this passage was extremely uneven. The uneven surface gave people a rough and primitive feeling, as if it was hastily excavated under time pressure, without any trace of fine artificial carving.

The wall was covered with stones of different sizes and shapes, some of which protruded abruptly, like monsters with bared fangs and claws, and people had to be careful to avoid them at all times when moving forward, so as not to be scratched or hit by these sharp stones.

After a meticulous observation, Matthew confirmed that the skinny old man with mysterious whereabouts was not hiding in this passage, and the tight string in his heart was slightly relieved.

However, years of exploration experience made him know that in this unknown environment, any negligence could lead to fatal consequences.

So, for the sake of caution, he decided to send a few tree puppets to explore the way ahead.

After the tree puppets steadily advanced for a distance, Matthew followed with Na Luo.

He followed the steps of the treeman puppet closely, and at the same time, his ears stood up high, and his eyes were alert to the movements around him.

The direction of this passage was not straight forward, but like a winding dragon, with twists and turns.

Some places were relatively spacious, two or three feet wide, which made people feel suddenly open when walking.

Some places were extremely narrow, only a few feet wide, and people had to move sideways.

Some places were so high that you couldn't see the end at a glance. In order to ensure safety, Matthew even used the flying technique to fly up there to check carefully, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything valuable.

Some places were a dark pit, bottomless.

Matthew also didn't dare to take it lightly. He controlled the treeman puppet to carefully enter the pit for inspection.

However, after a search, there was still no gain.

However, although he had not encountered any danger so far, he didn't dare to relax or be careless at all.

On the contrary, he moved forward more cautiously, and every step he took was extremely cautious.

Because he knew very well that in this mysterious passage, the hidden crisis might suddenly come without warning in the next moment, and it might be hidden behind the seemingly ordinary corner in front.

You know, the skinny old man stepped into this place one step earlier than him.

Matthew moved forward slowly and cautiously, thinking to himself.

"Where did that old guy run to?"

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.

As Matthew continued to advance into the cave, the surroundings were still strangely quiet, as if the whole world was shrouded in this dead silence.

Until this moment, he really had not encountered even the slightest danger.

However, this unusual calmness made Matthew feel an indescribable worry.

This worry came so strangely that even Matthew himself could not explain why.

It was just a kind of intuition that told him that the road ahead would not be smooth sailing. Perhaps a huge trap was lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.

Looking at Na Luo lying on Matthew's shoulder, he was very excited and eager to try when he first came in, but now he has been yawning and looks listless.

It is understandable that since entering the cave, not to mention the thrilling adventure, there has not been even a slight movement.

Such a boring journey would make anyone feel bored.

After moving forward for a distance, there was a very subtle sound suddenly coming from the silent and empty front.

Although the sound was as light as a mosquito, it was still keenly captured by Matthew and Na Luo who had been highly vigilant.

At the moment of hearing the sound, their faces changed subtly, and their originally tense nerves were raised to their throats.

Immediately afterwards, Matthew quickened his pace without hesitation, and rushed towards the direction of the sound like an arrow.

Although he had not yet reached his destination, he had already seen the situation ahead clearly with the help of the puppet he had sent out to explore the way ahead.

When Matthew finally arrived, he saw a skeleton lying in the middle of the passage ahead.

From its appearance, it was obvious that this skeleton had been here for quite a long time, and the bones all over its body had completely turned into bones, looking pale and gloomy, which was creepy.

Matthew's eyes were fixed on a certain part of the skeleton, and he saw that the bones there had somehow turned into a pile of fine powder, as if they had been hit or crushed by some powerful force.

Not only that, next to the pile of bone powder, there was a shallow footprint.

"This should be the result of the mysterious old man accidentally stepping on it when he just passed by here."

Matthew stared at the footprint and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"It's possible. I thought the old man had left this passage a long time ago. After all, his speed was too fast."

When Na Luo said this, he subconsciously touched his buttocks.

Although the redness and swelling on his buttocks had long disappeared, Na Luo still felt a little scared every time he thought of the old man.

"I thought so at first, but now it seems..."

Before Matthew finished speaking, he heard another noise coming from the front.

This time the sound was much louder than before.

Hearing the sound, Matthew immediately stepped forward.

At the same time, dozens of light balls were released and flew ahead of him.

The entire passage ahead was illuminated.

As for those pathfinder puppets, they were now chasing Matthew from behind.
