Chapter 637: 0638 Shooting the Moon Cave! (First Update)

Early the next day, Ye Qiu set out with the five members of the Guan clan, hastening their journey by all climbing atop the head of the giant statue.

"Brother Ye, I’m quite envious of you. Not only is this giant statue sculpture powerful, but it’s also an excellent mode of transportation," Guan Shan said.

Standing on the head of the giant statue sculpture was like standing in mid-air, with a clear view of the surrounding scenery.

"It’s really nice up here. I wish I had a puppet like this," Guan Yue said, gazing at Ye Qiu with a mesmerizing charm in her eyes. Unfortunately, Ye Qiu quickly turned his attention away, not looking at her at all.

As everyone chatted, Guan Shan occasionally tried to dig up more information about Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu’s answers were vague, giving off an elusive feeling.

Before they knew it, the giant statue sculpture had carried them through the Withered Forest and arrived at a valley.

The valley was wide and long, with all red soil that looked very strange.

"We’re here!" Guan Shan pointed down into the valley, where everyone was about to descend from the high ground into the midst of the valley.

With a few steps from the giant statue sculpture, they swiftly entered the valley.

Jumping down from the head of the giant statue sculpture, the air was thick with a lingering smell of blood. Ye Qiu pinched some soil and sniffed it; that was where the smell was coming from.

Could it be that the red soil throughout the entire valley was drenched in blood?

Ye Qiu couldn’t help but speculate.

Could this vast valley have been the site of a massive attack that claimed many lives, causing blood to flow like rivers and stain the land red?

Seeing the slight shock on Ye Qiu’s face, Guan Shan, Guan Yue, and the others laughed and said, "Brother Ye must have guessed by now. There must have been a great battle here in the past, with blood flowing like rivers. Otherwise, how can this soil be red and still emanating the smell of blood..."

"This also indicates that the opportunities here must be incredibly amazing."

Ye Qiu gathered his thoughts and nodded, "Then let’s see what’s hidden in this opportunity?"

Guan Shan and the others led the way, and soon, the group arrived at a pitch-black cave entrance.

"This is the entrance, but I have to remind you, Brother Ye, that the giant statue sculpture cannot enter. You’ll have to leave it outside," Guan Shan said with a smile.

"Alright," Ye Qiu replied without refusal. Aware of the other party’s schemes, he was not afraid; the giant statue sculpture indeed could not fit through the cave entrance, but Ye Qiu didn’t mind. With his own strength, dealing with these few members of the Guan clan was not a difficult task.

Seeing Ye Qiu readily agree was beyond the expectations of the Guan clan members, who had thought Ye Qiu would hesitate.

"Good, then let’s go in, Brother Ye," Guan Shan said with a smile, leading the way with a lit piece of dry wood for light, stepping into the cave first, followed closely by Ye Qiu, with Guan Yue and the other Guan members behind.

The path inside the cave was undulating. After walking for twenty minutes, Guan Shan chuckled and said, "Brother Ye, the place of opportunity lies beneath this dark river. I suppose you’re a good swimmer?"

Ye Qiu watched as the cave suddenly widened and a river about six feet wide flowed past before his eyes, a look of wonder in his gaze.

He genuinely didn’t know how the people of the Guan clan managed to find this place. Common sense dictated that few would guess an underground river might harbor such fortune, and considering the torrential flow of the river, only the very brave would dare to venture inside. Who knew what dangers might lie within?

"Brother Ye, no need to worry, there isn’t any danger within this dark river. We’ve been in a few times now. When you dive into the water later, just stay close to me," Guan Yue said.

Guan Yu was the first to dive into the dark river. Ye Qiu glanced at Guan Yue and the others behind him before jumping in. Although he knew the Guan clansmen wouldn’t immediately reveal their true colors, Ye Qiu still had to be cautious to avoid being caught by surprise.

The water of the dark river was very cold, chilling to the bone, but fortunately, it wasn’t long before Guan Yu stretched out his hand to pull Ye Qiu out of the water.

Once on shore, Ye Qiu realized the area was indeed different—there lay an underground grotto.

Soon after, Guan Yue and the others also came ashore, gasping for air, drenched to the skin. They tapped into their internal energy to evaporate the moisture on them, and soon they were all dry.

"Brother Ye, this is the place of opportunity I was telling you about. Yes, this should be the grotto of a powerful individual. We originally stumbled upon this place by chance. Unfortunately, with our strength, we can’t enter the interior of the grotto, only wander around the perimeter," explained Guan Yu.

Ye Qiu surveyed the grotto and above the entrance, on the stone wall, were carved the ancient characters for ’Shooting Moon Grotto’.

"Brother Ye, to be honest, once we step inside this grotto, it’s like entering a labyrinth. No matter where we go, we can’t find the end. Moreover, there’s a kind of rhythm inside that makes one want to fall into a deep sleep."

"Every time we wake up, we find ourselves outside the grotto."

If the grotto was as Guan Yu described, it certainly seemed interesting. Ye Qiu wondered what kind of master once resided inside.

"Brother Ye, to be frank, we’ve already found a way. If it weren’t for our lack of strength, we wouldn’t have gone out seeking a partner for cooperation. It just so happened that we met you. With just a bit more strength, I believe we can definitely enter the interior of the grotto," Guan Yu said.

"Oh, what’s the method you speak of?" Ye Qiu asked.

At this moment, Guan Yue came over, her eyes like rippling waves, and said to Ye Qiu, "Big brother Ye, there’s a special energy outside this grotto entrance. If I’m not wrong, it’s this energy that causes disorientation, giving the illusion of moving forward when actually just walking in place."

"As for the method to break it, it’s quite simple actually: use force to break the spell. If we continuously attack the entrance, that invisible force will automatically defend itself. It’s just that our strength isn’t enough, otherwise we would have dissipated this energy barrier long ago."

Ye Qiu gently extended a hand towards the interior of the grotto, indeed feeling a wave of energy envelop him.

As he retracted his hand, the energy receded like the tide, concentrated right at the entrance of the grotto.

"Brother Ye, I’m sure you’ve felt it too. This energy can’t be broken by the strength of one person alone; we need to unite our efforts to stand a chance of breaking through," Guan Yu said.

"It’s a pity that the giant statue couldn’t come in; with its strength alone, it would have been enough to deplete this layer of energy," Guan Yu said regretfully.

Ye Qiu stared at the entrance to Shooting Moon Grotto. Using brute force was one solution, but it was the most unintelligent method. Moreover, even if they did as Guan Yu suggested and continuously attacked the entrance, it wasn’t guaranteed they could get inside. The Shooting Moon Grotto didn’t seem like the refuge of a weakling. How could the tricks of a strong being be broken by just a few people joining forces?

At that moment, Ye Qiu couldn’t help thinking about the real intentions of Guan Yu and the others. Once he exhausted his strength attacking, would they turn their sights on him?
