Chapter 235 Hidden Cave
She took out the hidden weapon she had picked up and examined it carefully for a while, discovering that the words "Shadowless" were engraved on the back of the weapon.
She pulled out the phoenix hairpin and drew a tracking symbol on the hidden weapon in her palm.
When Fei Feng extracted the aura from it, she was surprised to find that there was a trace of the thief's aura that matched the aura of the Dream Demon from before. Although it was very subtle, she still noticed it.
"Qingqing, we've discovered a connection between the thief and the dream demon."
"Let's go and see." Long Chuqing raised her hand and gently waved the tracking talisman floating in mid-air, and the talisman flew out.
She tiptoed and used her light-footed skill to leap into the air. At the same time, she swung her phoenix feather whip, wrapped it around the tree branch in front of her, and used the momentum to rise into the air, gracefully crossing the mass grave below.
A few crows that had been perched on the treetops took flight in fright, flapping their wings and scattering in all directions, their mournful, piercing cries echoing through the mountains and forests.
After leaving the mass grave, the tracking talisman flew down the hillside, with Long Chuqing following behind, stepping on tree branches.
Through the sparse gaps in the mountain forest, three figures could be vaguely seen at the foot of the mountain ahead.
Lu Beizhou, who was leading the group, suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal the two people behind him to stop. He placed his hand on the sword at his waist and turned around quickly and warily.
Long Chuqing lightly touched the branches with his toes and quickly passed by the three of them. "Follow me..." The last syllable of his voice disappeared into the air.
Lu Beizhou watched Long Chuqing's departing figure with a serious expression, secretly pondering: If this girl really wanted to harm them, she wouldn't have bothered to save them earlier.
He hesitated cautiously for a moment, then said, "Follow her and see what this girl is asking for. She probably knows something."
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, the tracking talisman changed direction again, pointing towards the taller mountain next door, and then flew in along the small valley between the two mountains.
After running a distance along the dry mountain stream, the mountains here were different from the low hills and forests we had just passed.
Over there, the terrain is mostly soil-based mountains, while over here, there are many large rocks covered with brown moss.
The tracking talisman changed direction and continued flying up the mountain, finally stopping in front of a cliff.
Fei Feng retracted the tracking talisman: "Qingqing, it's right here. There's probably a cave there."
Lu Beizhou and the other two arrived shortly after. Following Long Chuqing's gaze, they saw a place covered with withered vines, the largest branches as thick as a wrist.
"Miss Long, where is this place?" Lu Beizhou asked in confusion.
“I don’t know where this place is, but,” Long Chuqing stretched out his hand and pointed to the vines in front of him, “there should be a cave behind the vines, and maybe the thief is hiding here.”
With suspicion in his heart, Lu Beizhou continued to ask, "This place is so secluded, how did you know that the thieves were hiding here?"
Long Chuqing calmly took out the hidden weapon: "This hidden weapon was thrown by the thief when he attacked me just now."
“This hidden weapon carries his aura.” Long Chuqing then opened her other palm, on which was a small flying insect, which she had caught on the way here.
"This flying insect is one that I trained. It can track targets based on the scent of hidden weapons. I just followed the flying insect here."
Lu Beizhou looked at Long Chuqing's palm, and when he saw the insect clearly, he was speechless. His face was filled with the words "Do you think I would believe that?"
He thought to himself: Isn't this just an ordinary green-headed fly? This girl is really good at fooling people.
An awkward silence fell over the atmosphere. Long Chuqing reluctantly clasped his hands together and withdrew them, quickly hiding them behind his back. He then casually tossed the blue-headed fly away.
"Believe it or not," Long Chuqing said lazily, turning and walking towards the vines. Her skirt brushed against the pile of dry leaves on the ground, making a crunching sound under her feet.
Lu Beizhou glanced at the ground, where the blue-headed fly was lying sprawled on a withered leaf, clearly on its last legs.
Several broken vines extending from the cliff face swayed gently in front of me, some of them covered with sharp thorns.
Looking at the impenetrable wall of vines before him, Long Chuqing pondered deeply, then swung his phoenix feather whip forward with all his might.
The Phoenix Feather Whip unfurled its feather blades the moment it touched the vines, and instantly, the sounds of vines snapping and the sizzling of the whip cutting through the cliff face filled the air.
With a cloud of dust, part of the thick vine wall collapsed, and Long Chuqing leaped back.
The birds perched on the surrounding tree trunks were startled by the commotion and took flight.
After the dust gradually dissipated, a hole about half a person's height appeared at the bottom of the cliff.
Lu Beizhou and his two guards were stunned as they stared at the neatly cut vine wall in front of them.
This girl is really something. This vine curtain must be about two or three inches thick, right? If they were to try to cut it down with their swords, it would probably take them quite a bit of effort.
She sliced them all in half with a single strike; anyone who truly made an enemy of her would gain absolutely nothing.
After the dust had completely settled, Long Chuqing lifted her foot and walked forward. Just as she bent down to go into the cave, Lu Beizhou caught up and called out to her.
"Young lady... are you going in?"
“Yes!” Long Chuqing paused, turned her head and replied, “Since we’re already here, I’d like to go in and take a look.”
Lu Beizhou glanced around at the stone wall next to the cave entrance. Because it had been covered with vines for many years, the stone wall was crawling with many different kinds of insects, which were now scattering in panic.
"Young lady, this cave is dark and damp, and the smell coming from inside is so strange. Are you sure you want to go in and risk it?"
"If you don't want to go in, then leave quickly! If you want to know what's inside, wait outside. I'll tell you when I come out. I'll go in alone."
As she spoke, Long Chuqing bent down and walked inside.
“Miss…” Lu Beizhou slowly withdrew his outstretched hand.
Watching Long Chuqing walk inside, he hesitated for a few seconds before preparing to follow her in.
The guard stopped him. "Lord Lu, are you going in too? Isn't there some danger in there? If there are really thieves inside, there might be an ambush or something."
"Besides, I only met that girl today. Is she trustworthy?"
Lu Beizhou answered seriously and meticulously: "If she really wanted to attack us, she wouldn't have healed us before. And as you all saw, the power of her attack just now meant she wouldn't have needed to wait until we entered the cave to harm us."
"You all stay here and keep watch, I'll go in." After saying that, Lu Beizhou bent down and walked into the cave.
After walking about ten meters through the dimly lit passage, we arrived at a relatively spacious cave.
There is a half-meter-wide opening at the top, through which light shines in, adding a little brightness to the dark environment.
After taking a closer look at the surroundings, it was found that the interior was relatively dry, with only a little moss on the walls and some dry leaves and soil that had fallen from the cave entrance on the ground.
