"Bang!" Qin Feng staggered to the cave entrance, suddenly feeling as if he had crashed into an incredibly hard wall, and his body involuntarily took two steps back.
He rubbed his forehead, which was throbbing from the impact, and cursed inwardly, "What the hell was that?"
Qin Feng frowned, staring intently ahead. But all he saw was emptiness, nothing unusual.
It was obvious that he had just bumped into an invisible barrier, but strangely, there was no barrier when he came in, so how did it suddenly appear now?
"Could it be related to those runes that just disappeared?" Qin Feng murmured to himself, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to test the waters. So he slowly raised his right hand and cautiously stretched it forward.
As expected, just as his hand was about to touch that void, an invisible force blocked his path.
Qin Feng's heart sank; it seemed there really was a mysterious barrier here.
He frowned and fell into deep thought.
A moment later, he took out the Five Elements Sword, took a deep breath, and then used all his strength to slash fiercely at the invisible barrier.
A loud "bang" was heard, and the entire cave shook.
At the same time, an extremely terrifying counterforce surged forth like a tidal wave, not only knocking the Five Elements Sword away, but also sending Qin Feng flying far away.
Qin Feng fell to the ground in a sorry state, feeling extremely frustrated.
Curiosity really killed the cat!
He entered the cave but found nothing and is now trapped here.
Given the current situation, it seems that only the power of the Five Elements Sword itself can possibly break through the barrier at the cave entrance.
He took a deep breath, stood up, looked at the Five Elements Sword on the ground not far away, and said, "A full-force attack!"
In an instant, the Five Elements Sword, like a dazzling rainbow, burst forth with five-colored light and sped towards the cave entrance like an arrow released from a bow.
The moment the Five Elements Sword collided with the invisible barrier, it emitted a deafening roar, and the entire cave trembled violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Qin Feng was unsteady on his feet, his body swaying precariously, like a candle flickering in the wind. He gritted his teeth, using all his strength to steady himself, his eyes fixed straight ahead without blinking.
However, he did not see the Five Elements Sword pierce through the invisible barrier until the cave stopped shaking.
On the contrary, the Five Elements Sword gradually became dull and lifeless, as if the energy it contained was about to run out.
Upon seeing this scene, Qin Feng's face instantly turned extremely gloomy and ugly. He shouted anxiously, "Come back quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Five Elements Sword seemed to hear its master's call, quickly changed direction and rushed towards Qin Feng. When it got close to Qin Feng, it transformed into a dim, five-colored light and entered his body.
The moment the Five Elements Sword pierced into Qin Feng's body, Qin Feng immediately noticed that its aura was significantly weaker than before, which must be because the energy it contained was almost completely exhausted.
He couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, sighing to himself, "Now that I've lost this crucial asset, can I even leave this place?"
After a moment of silence, Qin Feng tried to rouse himself and turned his gaze to the stone that had once displayed mysterious runes.
He secretly speculated that perhaps the invisible barrier at the cave entrance was somehow connected to this mysterious stone.
Without hesitation, Qin Feng stepped towards the stone and gently touched its surface.
Not long ago, he used the same method to detach those mysterious runes from the stone, which then transformed into a passage leading to an unknown destination.
Although the mysterious runes and passages have mysteriously disappeared without a trace, there is no doubt that there must be some connection between them.
This time, however, he stroked the stone again and again, and as time passed, the stone did not react at all, as if it had really turned into an ordinary, unremarkable stone.
Qin Feng's face was filled with a helpless, bitter smile: "What kind of hellish place is this? It's so eerie!"
He kept cursing under his breath, and only stopped after a while. At this moment, he was extremely depressed, so he grabbed a stone and smashed it hard at the cave entrance.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar followed as the rock struck the unseen barrier, causing the entire cave to shake violently.
After the stone fell to the ground, it shattered into countless tiny particles in the blink of an eye.
Qin Feng's eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't help but curse, "What the hell is this thing? Even broken glass wouldn't shatter like this, let alone a rock!"
In the next instant, something even more shocking happened to Qin Feng—under his horrified gaze, the dense grains of sand vanished without a trace.
"Uh... isn't this a bit too bizarre and outlandish?"
"What kind of eerie thing is that stone?"
The only clue had vanished without a trace, and Qin Feng felt a sense of frustration. However, he did not give up. Instead, he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to re-examine the environment inside the cave.
He pondered to himself: Could it be that besides that stone, there really is nothing else suspicious? Impossible! Something's definitely off about this place…
Qin Feng secretly made up his mind to find out the truth and solve this mystery!
So he meticulously searched every corner, inch by inch, bit by bit, leaving no stone unturned.
To his disappointment, after a thorough search, he still found nothing—the entire cave was empty, as if there was nothing but stone walls and dust.
Just as Qin Feng was about to give up, a sudden change occurred! The scene before him left him speechless with astonishment.
The stone that he had smashed and disappeared with his own hands was now perfectly intact on the stone platform where it had been placed, as if it had never left!
"What the hell!"
Qin Feng couldn't help but cry out in surprise, his face filled with disbelief. He stared wide-eyed at the stone, not blinking, as if afraid it would mysteriously disappear again in the blink of an eye.
What exactly happened? Wasn't the stone supposed to have been broken and disappeared?
Why is it that it can reappear now unscathed?
Countless thoughts flashed through Qin Feng's mind in an instant, and his heart pounded even harder.
What secrets does this mysterious stone hold?
Is it the key to solving the puzzle?
A series of questions flooded his mind, leaving Qin Feng both surprised and frightened, and for a moment he was even somewhat confused...
