"Sister Wan'er is right. Let's leave here first."
Shen Zixuan nodded, helped Meng Wan stand up, and looked at the old man Qian who had a very low presence.
"Lead the way to Luoxia Valley."
"Okay, okay."
Old Man Qian nodded repeatedly, as long as these young ancestors were willing to take him with them.
Old Man Qian took the lead and walked towards Luoxia Valley.
Luoxia Valley has a flat terrain and a wide view, and is a relatively safe area.
Shen Zixuan and Shen Zihan supported Meng Wan and followed Old Man Qian as they moved quickly towards Luoxia Valley.
An hour later, they finally arrived at their destination.
However, there was no one in Luoxia Valley, which gave everyone an ominous feeling.
"What's going on? Where are the people? Aren't we the only ones who escaped?"
Old man Qian panicked and looked around, but there was no one in sight.
Just then, a familiar figure jumped out from a crevice in the mountain.
"Brother Hong!"
Seeing the person coming, Old Man Qian immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to greet him.
"You're finally here."
When Hong Bo saw the four people, a relieved expression appeared on his face. "I just arrived not long ago too. I was worried when I saw that you guys were still not here."
"Where are the others?"
Old man Qian couldn't help but ask.
"The others should not have escaped yet. We can wait a little longer."
After hearing Hong Bo's words, everyone had no objection and carefully hid in Luoxia Valley, waiting.
Time passed minute by minute, the sun set, night fell, and Luoxia Valley was shrouded in darkness, but there was still no sign of the other four people.
Old man Qian paced back and forth anxiously, feeling increasingly uneasy.
"Brother Hong, it's already dark, why haven't they come back yet? Could it be that they've all…"
"No, they will be fine!"
Meng Wan interrupted Old Man Qian, but her trembling voice revealed her inner fear.
Hong Bo sat on a rock, his face gloomy and silent.
He knew that the other four were probably in danger.
There were so many Howling Wolves that even he almost couldn't escape. It was normal for others to be killed.
As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the team became a little depressing, and those teammates were still not showing up.
Only Meng Wan knew that they would never come back.
Old Man Qian was the first to break the silence. He looked at Hong Bo with a hint of worry in his tone.
"Brother Hong, there are ten of us in our group. We've only been in the Tianheng Mountains for a few days, and half of us are already dead. I think we should rest here for one night and go back early tomorrow morning."
Hong Bo obviously didn't want to leave just like that, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
"But, the cave of the ancient cultivator has not been found yet."
"It's already this late, and you're still looking for the cave? If you keep looking, I'll lose my life here!"
Old Man Qian looked at Shen Zixuan and the other two anxiously, "What do Brother Shen and the two fairies think?"
"We don't want to leave with nothing."
Shen Zixuan spoke lightly, expressing his position.
Meng Wan and Shen Zihan, on the other hand, showed an attitude of following Shen Zixuan's lead.
Seeing this, Old Man Qian became extremely anxious and said, "You young people are really too competitive!
Half of the people are dead, can't we just go back to the post station, find a few more helpers, and start over again?"
He also knew that if he left the team and went back rashly, it would be very dangerous.
Only then did he want to pull a few people away together.
However, neither Hong Bo nor Shen Zixuan and others were willing to leave.
In desperation, he could only stamp his feet in hatred and said, "Forget it, this old man will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman!"
After saying that, he sat down again, but there was still a reluctant look on his face.
Although Old Man Qian was hesitant to back out, he eventually followed everyone else.
They rested in Luoxia Valley for a night and set off at dawn the next day.
With the previous lesson, the five people were more cautious than before. They were vigilant along the way and paid attention to the movements around them.
Although Old Man Qian was afraid of death, he was experienced and wise, so he was still useful.
They fought and walked all the way, and finally passed through the outer area of Tianheng Mountains safely and arrived at Liuguang Lake deep in Tianheng Mountains.
The clear lake water shimmers in the sunlight, reflecting the surrounding green mountains, and the scenery is breathtaking.
This is the famous Liuguang Lake in the Tianheng Mountains, named after the lake water that shimmers in the sun.
"Finally we're here."
Old Man Qian looked at the scenery in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, it's not an easy journey." Meng Wan nodded in agreement.
Hong Bo looked at the mountains across the lake, his eyes flashing with complex light.
He has been active in this area for many years and has a deep understanding of the Tianheng Mountains. He knows that after passing the Liuguang Lake, there will be real danger.
Most teams that enter the mountains should turn back after reaching here.
Because the danger level on the other side of the lake will increase dramatically, and you may lose your life if you are not careful.
But the legendary ancient monk's cave has not been found yet...
"Captain Hong, we've arrived at Liuguang Lake, but we haven't found that damn cave yet. Why don't we just go home?"
Old Man Qian noticed Hong Bo's expression and spoke anxiously.
Among the five people present, he had the lowest cultivation level and was the most eager to leave.
"No rush. The area around Liuguang Lake hasn't been searched yet. Maybe there will be some clues."
Hong Bo took a deep breath and turned to look at Meng Wan and Shen Zixuan, brother and sister, "What do you three think?"
Shen Zixuan nodded and said, "I'll follow Captain Hong's orders."
Hong Bo led everyone and searched carefully by the lake, but still could not find any trace of the ancient monk's cave.
"Captain Hong, I think we should go back."
Old Man Qian couldn't help but persuade him again, "We've been searching for a long time and found nothing. If we go any deeper, we'll never come back."
Hong Bo remained silent, his brows furrowed.
How could he not know that this place was full of dangers and that one could lose his life if he was not careful?
But he always held a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping to find the cave of the ancient monk, get the opportunity, and change his destiny.
However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.
The area around Liuguang Lake has been thoroughly checked but no abnormalities have been found.
Even though Hong Bo was determined, he couldn't help but feel like giving up.
He turned his gaze to Shen Zixuan and asked, "Brother Shen, what do you think?"
Shen Zixuan pondered for a moment and said.
"Having come all this way, I'd be remiss to just go back like this. I suggest we explore a little deeper. If we still don't find anything, we should return immediately."
Meng Wan and Shen Zihan didn't say anything, but from their attitudes, it can be seen that they support Shen Zixuan's decision.
Hong Bo felt even more conflicted.
