The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2150 Strange Passage

Matthew, who has experienced many hardships, still maintains the caution as if walking on thin ice and slowly steps into the unknown cave before him.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, he saw Matthew wave his hands lightly, and in an instant, more than a dozen light balls emitting soft light came into being.

These light balls seemed to be endowed with life and mission. They shot out as swiftly as meteors across the night sky and rushed into the endless darkness deep in the cave.

As they sped along, darkness was dispelled wherever they went, and light instantly descended, illuminating the originally eerie and terrifying passage, making it as clear as day.

With the bright and warm light of the light ball, Matthew's eagle-like sharp eyes quickly scanned every inch of the surrounding environment, not missing any corner that might hide danger or secrets.

He found that the inner wall of the passage was extremely uneven. The bumpy surface gave people a rough and primitive feeling, as if it was hastily dug out under time constraints, without any traces of fine artificial carving.

The walls are covered with stones of various sizes and shapes, some of which protrude abruptly like monsters with bared fangs and claws, forcing people to be careful to avoid them at all times when walking forward, so as not to be scratched or hit by these sharp stones.

After careful observation, Matthew confirmed that the skinny old man with mysterious whereabouts was not hiding in this passage, and the tense nerve in his heart finally relaxed a little.

However, his years of exploration experience have taught him that in this unknown environment, any negligence may lead to fatal consequences.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, he decided to send out a few tree man puppets to explore the way ahead.

After the treeman puppet had moved forward steadily for a distance, Matthew followed with Naro.

He followed the steps of the tree man puppet closely, while his ears stood up high and his eyes alertly watched the movements around him.

The direction of this channel is not straight forward, but like a winding dragon, with twists and turns.

Some places are quite spacious, as wide as two or three meters, giving people a sense of openness when walking.

Some places are extremely narrow, only a few feet wide, forcing people to move sideways.

Some places were so high that they reached the sky, and there was no end in sight. In order to ensure safety, Matthew even used his flying skills to fly up there for a closer look, but unfortunately, he did not find anything valuable.

In some places, there is a pitch-black pit with no bottom in sight.

Matthew also did not dare to take it lightly. He controlled the tree man puppet and carefully entered the pit for inspection.

However, after some searching, there was still no result.

However, although he had not encountered any danger so far, he did not dare to relax or be careless at all.

On the contrary, he moved forward more cautiously, being extremely careful with every step he took.

It was because he knew very well that in this mysterious passage, the hidden crisis might suddenly come without warning at the next moment, or perhaps it was hidden behind the seemingly ordinary corner ahead.

You know, the skinny old man had stepped into this place earlier than him.

Matthew moved forward slowly and cautiously, thinking to himself.

"Where on earth did that old fellow go?"

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt deep inside.

As Matthew continued to advance into the cave, the surroundings remained eerily quiet, as if the whole world was shrouded in deathly silence.

Up to this moment, he had not encountered even the slightest danger.

However, this unusual calmness made Matthew feel an indescribable worry in his heart.

This worry came out of nowhere, and even Matthew himself couldn't explain why.

It was just an intuition that told him that the road ahead for them might not be smooth sailing. Perhaps a huge trap was lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Looking at Naro who was lying on Matthew's shoulder, he was very excited and eager to try when he first came in, but now he was yawning and looked listless.

Come to think of it, since we got into the cave, there hasn't been any thrilling adventures, not even the slightest disturbance.

Anyone would find such a boring trip boring.

After moving forward for a distance, a very subtle sound suddenly came from the silent and empty front.

Although the sound was as light as a mosquito, it was still keenly captured by Matthew and Naro who had been remaining highly vigilant.

The moment they heard the voice, their faces changed subtly, and their originally tense nerves suddenly rose to their throats.

Then, Matthew quickened his pace without hesitation and rushed towards the direction of the sound like an arrow.

Although he had not yet reached his destination, he could already see the situation ahead clearly thanks to the puppet he had sent out to explore the way ahead.

When Matthew finally arrived, he saw a skeleton lying in the middle of the passage ahead.

Judging from its appearance, this skeleton has obviously been here for quite a long time. The bones all over its body have turned completely white, and it looks pale and eerie, which is creepy.

Matthew's eyes were fixed on a certain spot on the skeleton. He saw that the bones there had somehow turned into a pile of fine powder, as if they had been hit or crushed by some powerful force.

Not only that, there was also a shallow footprint next to the pile of bone powder.

"This should be caused by the mysterious old man who accidentally stepped on it when he passed by here just now."

Matthew stared at the footprint and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"It's possible. I thought that weird old man had left this passage a long time ago. After all, his speed was too fast."

When Na Luo said this, he subconsciously touched his butt.

Although the redness and swelling on his buttocks had long disappeared, Na Luo still felt a pang of fear every time he thought of that strange old man.

"I thought so at first, but now it seems..."

Before Matthew could finish his words, he heard another noise coming from the front.

This time the sound was much louder than before.

Hearing the sound, Matthew immediately took a step forward and rushed forward.

At the same time, dozens of light balls were released and flew forward ahead of him.

Light up the entire front passage.

As for those pathfinder puppets, they were now chasing Matthew from behind.
