Chapter 825: Chapter 829: The Fourth Trial 2
Yadang slapped his thigh.
"That’s right! I think we need to find a way to figure out exactly how many Caves we need to go through to pass the trial."
Su Tang stroked her chin and said, "That doesn’t seem so important, does it? Didn’t the steward say that after finding all the correct Caves we could return to the starting point? There’s no need to care about their number."
Yadang wanted to disagree but was glared at by Gaiyin.
"Fool, the steward said that with our current strength, we absolutely couldn’t afford a fourth wrong choice, which proves there must be more than four Caves to choose from. Instead of worrying about how many we need to go through, it’s better to worry about how many we have to select the correct ones from."
Yadang gave an embarrassed smile and forced a defense for himself, "Well, knowing the exact number would at least give us a mental preparation."
Gaiyin didn’t bother with him and took Su Tang by the hand towards the Cave entrance.
"Let’s go."
"Hey, where to?"
"Looking for clues."
As they were taking action, the Bai Que Team on the other side also seemed to have discussed their strategy and were approaching the Cave entrance.
The two groups locked eyes in mid-air, not as confrontational as before.
Possibly because Bai Que thought that to exchange for the Advanced Cultivation Technique, the latter volume, they still needed Su Tang’s help, so his looks towards everyone were much more friendly.
He smiled, stopped in his tracks, and politely nodded his head.
"After you?"
Gaiyin glanced at him and didn’t bother being polite, leading Su Tang into the Cave first.
Before entering the Cave, Su Tang took one more look at the neighboring mountain body, which had nothing on it, just ordinary rocks.
Su Tang frowned slightly.
Could it be that she was seeing things before?
Suddenly entering from a bright place into a dim one, Su Tang took some time to adjust.
Clinging tightly to Gaiyin’s arm, her footsteps were full of restraint.
After a good while, she slowly became accustomed to the dim surroundings.
The Cave wasn’t that dark, after all.
The Stone Wall of the Cave was covered with a plant similar to ivy, and every so often among the green leaves, there was a small white flower emitting a pale white glow.
The light was very soft, like a nightlight that allowed people to see the rough outline of their surroundings, but not too clearly.
It was far inferior to the Sea Night Mushroom found in the sea.
No one spoke as they continued along the Cave.
After a considerable amount of time, they finally arrived at a slightly larger space in the Cave.
At the same time, six identical Cave entrances appeared in front of them.
They were truly identical, as if they had been cloned and pasted, even the gaps on the sides of the Cave’s mountain body were the same.
"How... how do we choose?"
Gaiyin furrowed his brows and thought for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "Search around here, see if we can find anything. Be careful not to go into those smaller Caves."
Everyone nodded and dispersed in the not so large space, beginning to search meticulously.
After a short while, Bai Que and his people also caught up to this place.
Without saying a word, they too joined the search for clues.
The space here was only half as big as the outside, and with 12 people, they inspected every inch of the Stone Wall up and down without finding anything, not even a hair.
Everyone began to struggle with the doubt: was the steward deceiving them?
Clearly, that was impossible.
They must not have been thorough enough in their search.
