Chapter 241 What's Inside
After the fog dissipated, everything seemed to return to calm, and no strange situations occurred.
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and suggested: "Let's survive tonight first, and leave this valley as soon as possible tomorrow morning. This place is not easy at all, and we are all injured, so it's too dangerous to stay here. So we must get out of this predicament as soon as possible."
Dongfang Xue nodded in agreement, and the two of them spent a sleepless night like this.
Until dawn, when the first ray of sunlight shone in the east, the whole valley gradually became brighter. Looking up from the bottom of the valley, one could see the cliffs on both sides shrouded in mist.
The scenery at the top is hidden in the clouds and cannot be seen.
The two simply packed their bags and prepared to leave. Only then did they realize a thorny problem: Dongfang Xue's mobility had not yet fully recovered. After a night's rest, she could barely sit up, but still couldn't walk.
So Zhang Yang decided to carry Dongfang Xue on his back and grope his way forward. He felt the soft touch of Dongfang Xue's chest, but he knew that he couldn't be distracted at this moment, and he still paid attention to the surrounding environment vigilantly.
After determining a direction, they explored in that direction. Two hours later, Zhang Yang realized that they seemed to have not yet walked out of the valley, and there was still a winding path ahead, as if it would never end.
Zhang Yang slowly put Dongfang Xue down and said, "What is this place? It feels like we are trapped. We must find a safe place before dark, otherwise we will be in a bad situation with that alien monster last night."
Dongfang Xue nodded. At this time, Zhang Yang suddenly asked: "What exactly is the round bead that you took by mistake that day? How could it have such power and bring us to this place?"
Dongfang Xue shook her head and replied, "I only know its name. It is a sacred object of our Yin-Yang Master family, called the Yin-Yang Pearl. This was given to me by Donghuang Taiyi when I started my apprenticeship. He said that if I crushed it in a critical moment, it could save my life. But he did not elaborate on its specific function, so I am also confused now."
Zhang Yang nodded: "That's all we can do for now. We don't even know where we are now. We can only try to get out first."
Dongfang Xue agreed, and after a short rest, they continued on their way in the morning. After a day's trek, it was almost evening, but they still hadn't seen the exit of the valley.
In desperation, Zhang Yang found a cave in a cliff that they could live in. They used this place as their temporary camp for the night. The cave was not spacious, so Zhang Yang carried Dongfang Xue and the little golden monkey into it.
With the help of the light coming in from the cave entrance, he carefully looked at the entire cave. After careful observation, Zhang Yang found that this cave was not formed naturally, nor was it an animal's nest, but was dug by humans.
Traces of excavation can still be seen on the cave wall. A bonfire was lit inside the cave, and the cave became brighter. Zhang Yang only made a torch, holding it and slowly looking around the cave.
After walking around, they found nothing except traces of excavation on the wall. Looking at Dongfang Xue lying against the wall, Zhang Yang said, "This place is really strange. This cave was obviously dug by humans, but there is nothing found inside. We can only rest here temporarily tonight and make plans tomorrow morning."
Dongfang Xue nodded. They had been walking for a whole day and only took a two-hour break at noon to eat something quickly. Looking at the sick Dongfang Xue, Zhang Yang asked, "How did you get caught by them? When I arrived, you had already been taken away. With your strength, it shouldn't be that easy."
Dongfang Xue nodded and recalled: "After I came out of your place, I met those men in black who blocked my way. At first I didn't pay much attention to them. Even if I couldn't beat them, I could still run away. Those men in black kept stalling for time and chatting with me about irrelevant topics. Suddenly, I felt something was wrong and my body was weak. I didn't think much about it at that time and was about to turn around and leave."
"They also noticed something was wrong and immediately surrounded me. Only then did I realize that they were stalling for time in order to release the colorless and odorless poison. After holding on for a while, I passed out. When I woke up, you were by my side."
Zhang Yang nodded, and then told her how he found out she was kidnapped, and everything that happened afterwards. Dongfang Xue said with emotion: "I didn't expect there is such a force. I have never heard of it. This is too bizarre."
Zhang Yang nodded. The experiences of the past few days were far beyond his imagination. The sudden crisis caught him off guard and put him in such a dangerous situation. At this moment, the little golden monkey suddenly screamed wildly, scaring Zhang Yang and Dongfang Xue.
They saw the little golden monkey pointing at a wall deep in the cave in fear. Zhang Yang guessed that the little golden monkey might have discovered something or smelled something strange. He grabbed the Changsheng Sword in his hand and walked carefully towards the wall.
Standing in front of the wall, he did not find anything unusual and looked at the little golden monkey in confusion. The little golden monkey was also confused for a moment, then suddenly picked up a large stone under his feet and threw it towards Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang dodged swiftly, and the stone hit the wall heavily, with a dull sound, and a large hole appeared in the wall, and a foul smell wafted out of the hole.
Looking at the big hole in the wall and the dark cave behind it, Zhang Yang picked up a torch from the ground and threw it into the smashed cave. With the weak light, he saw a figure. Then he heard the sound of the torch falling to the ground, and the originally upright torch was instantly extinguished.
Zhang Yang slowly left the wall and walked in front of Dongfang Xue and the little golden monkey. Due to poor vision, Dongfang Xue could not see clearly what was inside, so she asked Zhang Yang who had stepped back: "What's inside?"
Zhang Yang shook his head. The torch went out too quickly, so he couldn't see clearly, but he did catch a glimpse of a blurry figure. Dongfang Xue said, "Carry me over, and let's go in and take a look."
Zhang Yang thought about it, nodded and agreed, then carried Dongfang Xue on his back and slowly walked towards the cave. When he arrived at the cave entrance, Zhang Yang kicked open the broken earth walls around it, opened a passage for people to enter and exit, and then slowly stepped in...
