The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2399 The Disappearing Passage

After this man finished speaking, Matthew and the others walked forward without any hesitation.

Xie He also hurriedly followed Matthew and walked forward.

Now, he has complete trust in Matthew and even has a habit of centering around Matthew.

Everyone came to the entrance of the cave and looked inside.

They carefully poked their heads out and nervously scanned every corner of the cave.

Looking out from the cave entrance, the cave inside is empty and there is nothing.

That empty space seemed to have been forgotten by time, and it was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

“Is this the Du’e Cave?”

Matthew asked softly, his voice echoing in the silent cave with a hint of inquiry.

"I don't know. This is our first time here too."

Everyone who heard this shook their heads to indicate they didn't know.

There was a trace of confusion on everyone's face. They were originally full of confidence in their mission, but at this moment, facing this unknown cave, they couldn't help but feel a little fear in their hearts.

"Then go in and take a look. Standing here is not a solution."

Xie He, who was standing next to Matthew, took a deep breath and said.

After saying that, Xie He took the lead and stepped into the cave.

When the others saw this, they immediately followed suit and walked out of the passage, entering this mysterious and unknown cave.

There was no aura of any magical formation in the cave, nor were there any restrictions.

After everyone entered, they cast spells one after another, releasing magic that completely illuminated the entire cave.

The cave was originally a little dark, but now it became extremely bright.

Matthew's eyes were extremely sharp and he quickly scanned every corner of the cave.

But after looking for a while, his brows frowned slightly.

Because there is no way to leave this cave.

Soon, others also noticed this problem and began to look for a way out separately.

Matthew walked slowly along the rock wall, holding the blood-colored jade slip in his hand.

There were too many people around at the time, so he couldn't check the contents of the jade slip.

But at this moment, when he wanted to check, he found that there was a restriction in the jade slip.

Just when Matthew was about to ask Liu Yulong to help break the restrictions in the jade slip, a scream was heard from not far away.

"There is a trap here!"

When the sound appeared, everyone immediately gathered in that direction.

After everyone arrived, the person who spoke placed his hand on a slightly raised stone.

As he pressed hard with his palm.

Just listen to a crisp "click" sound.

The rock wall in front of them slowly opened at this moment, and a dark cave appeared in front of them.

Everyone looked at the cave entrance that led to nowhere and looked at each other in confusion.

At this time, Matthew walked to the front of the cave entrance. He turned his wrist and the blood-colored jade slip appeared in his hand.

When Matthew transferred his magic power into the jade slip, the jade slip immediately lit up with a blood-red light.

Then, the jade slip slowly floated up and drifted into the cave.

When the jade slip entered the cave, the light emitted by it immediately began to become brighter, instantly illuminating part of the cave.

"go in."

Matthew said something softly and walked into the cave first, followed by Xie He.

After Matthew went in, the others hesitated for a moment and then followed him in.

This was the only possible way out they found, so they had to go in and take a look.

The blood-colored jade slip led the way, and Matthew and his group followed behind.

During this time, no one spoke and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.

But after walking for a while, Matthew stopped.

After he turned around, he said to everyone: "There is a problem with this mission!"

After saying this, he turned sideways, showing everything behind him to everyone.

The reason why Matthew said this was because there were dozens of holes of different sizes behind him.

Moreover, this is the end of the passage.

No one knows which entrance inside the cave leads to Du'e Cave.

Looking at so many holes, everyone's faces became extremely ugly.

"I'll go back and ask the elders." Someone said after taking a deep breath.

"I'll go with you!" someone immediately echoed.

"Then you go, we'll wait for you here." Xie He didn't know what to do at the moment. He turned his head to look at Matthew, and seeing that he did not object to the two people's proposal, he spoke.

Soon, the two people who were talking left immediately.

The others stood here for a moment and didn't know what to do.

"I'll just find a random hole and try it first."

Matthew didn't want to just stand there, so after he finished speaking, he took the blood-colored jade slip and entered the nearest cave.

Seeing Matthew so decisive, the others looked at each other.

After looking for a while, some people started to do the same as Matthew and found a hole to go in and explore.

There are so many people, we can't all just stand here and wait.

Soon, there were only a dozen people left who had not taken any action.

After a while, Matthew came out of the cave.

After he came out, he immediately carved a cross at the entrance of the cave.

"This is a dead end." Matthew said softly.

After he finished speaking, Xie He, who had not entered the cave, came over immediately and began to tell him that someone had already entered those caves.

After listening to this, Matthew chose a cave that no one had ever entered before and entered again.

Things were not all smooth sailing.

After Matthew came out of the cave for the second time, Xie He said to him with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "The fellow disciples of No. 4, No. 13, and No. 21 have not come out since they went in."

Only then did Matthew notice that each hole was marked with numbers.

The first time I entered was number five, and now I am coming out is number eight.

Just as Matthew was about to reply, hurried footsteps were heard in the passage.

Everyone turned and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Soon, the two men who had left to find the elders came back.

"Oh no! The passage we came through has disappeared!"

Before the people arrived, the anxious voice of one of them could be heard.

"Did you take the wrong path? How could the passage disappear?" Xie He frowned when he heard that.

"There was only one road when we came here, how could we have taken the wrong road? If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself." Facing Xie He's questioning, one of them said with some annoyance.

After saying that, Xie He rushed out directly, it seemed that he really didn't believe what the two people said.

To be honest, even Matthew found it hard to believe that the passage would disappear.

"What's going on? We clearly received the mission to go to Du'e Cave, why did this happen?" Someone leaned weakly against the rock wall and muttered softly.

This is also what everyone wants to know.
