The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Upon hearing the prompt in his ear, Zeng Shen looked up and saw a downward-sloping hole in the ground that had originally been tilted upwards at a 30-degree angle.

The opening of the cave was illuminated by a dazzling array of colors, resembling the aurora borealis, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Upon seeing the cave entrance, Xini'er, who was atop the third-tier monstrous serpent, said, "Master, this cave entrance is the entrance to the cave where the Hidden Spirit Clan lives."

Zeng Shen nodded, and quickly propelled the monstrous serpent to the cave entrance, looking down to observe the cave entrance.

The entrance to this cave is not large, only two meters high, and just wide enough for three people to walk side by side.

As Zeng Shen was observing the cave entrance, Rose, who was standing nearby, said, "Master, the cave entrance and the passages inside are both rather small. With the size of the monstrous serpent dragon, it is impossible for it to enter."

“That’s right,” Zeng Shen nodded, and continued, “It seems we have no choice but to go in on foot.”

talking.

With a light leap, he jumped from the five-meter-high back of the monstrous serpent to the entrance of the cave. He took a step into the cave, and suddenly a notification sound rang in his ears.

[Congratulations, host! You have discovered a wild wonder: a Tier 3 Spirit Gathering Cave.]

"Although I knew this cave was unusual, I never expected it to be such a wonder."

Zeng Shen thought to himself, and threw a spying eye down into the cave wall.

[Tier 3 Spirit Gathering Cavern: A rare, growth-type wonder, a cavern brimming with unique life force, capable of granting new life forms to deceased spirits. The more spirits involved in the transformation, the stronger the wonder becomes, and the more feedback it receives, the stronger it grows.]

As Zeng Shen learned about the wonders of this cave, Rose, the succubus, and Xini'er, along with the lizardwomen who were on the back of the monstrous dragon, all jumped down.

"Let's go in and take a look."

After seeing the female believers descend from the monstrous dragon, Zeng Shen immediately gave the order and began to walk into the cave.

As they walked twenty meters along the cave passage, a spacious room suddenly appeared before them, measuring two hundred square meters and ten meters high.

The cave chambers, whether above or below, are filled with numerous stalactites and stalagmites, their tips shimmering with multicolored light that exudes a vibrant life force.

On the southeast and west walls of the cave, there is a karst passage, the destination of which is unknown.

As Zeng Shen was observing the cave, a series of urgent danger warnings suddenly rang in his ears.

[Danger! Danger! The host has encountered a group of Hidden Spirits. Given the current strength of the host and their followers, it is likely that they will be unable to fight on equal terms. Please proceed with caution and seize the opportunity to escape.]

Upon hearing the notification, Zeng Shen looked around.

However, apart from them, he did not see a single Hidden Spirit.

But he, along with the believers and summoned beasts present, could clearly sense that pairs of eyes were watching them from a distance.

obviously.

These hidden spirits remained completely invisible.

Think of this.

Zeng Shen was about to speak to the Hidden Spirits, who were invisible and hiding at the entrance of some cave passage.

A wisp of grayish-white mist suddenly filled the entire cavern, making it impossible for them to see beyond two meters.

“Master, it’s this fog. As long as this fog appears, it will be difficult for us to reach the depths of the cave. Because no matter which way we go, we will eventually walk out of the cave and appear in other parts of the island,” Xini’er said.

“I know. Since they’ve released the fog, it seems they don’t want to make contact with us. We’ll have to go straight to their lair. The visibility in this fog is extremely low. Hold hands and follow me.”

As Zeng Shen spoke, he opened his backpack space and took out a white card—a notification card. With a focused mind, the white card in front of him transformed into a white light, becoming a pale white face frame that only he could see.

Please enter the keywords you wish to receive suggestions from.

Looking at the prompt, Zeng Shen reached out and wrote "See through the fog" and "direction" on the box, then clicked "OK" in the bottom right corner.

soon.

A line of small text then appeared on the pale white frame.

[Hint: In this mist cast by the Hidden Spirits, if the host can raise their Clairvoyance to intermediate level, they will be able to see through the mist and clearly see the surrounding paths.]

Looking at the prompt panel before him, Zeng Shen didn't hesitate to open the [Green Card] interface of his remaining small fortune pack. He then spent his meager 1000 survival points to exchange for two X-ray vision cards, intending to upgrade this skill to intermediate level. [Host, would you like to consume one skill card, X-ray vision, to upgrade it to intermediate level?]

"It seems that the number of skill cards required to upgrade different skills is not the same."

Zeng Shen muttered something under his breath before choosing to use it, upgrading his X-ray vision to the intermediate level. He then focused his consciousness on the extra X-ray vision scroll he had exchanged.

[Host, upgrading your Intermediate Clairvoyance to Advanced Clairvoyance requires three cards.]

"I thought that I only needed one scroll to upgrade the Clairvoyance skill each time, but it seems that the upgrade is also related to the level."

Zeng Shen quickly summarized in his mind, and then quickly exchanged two X-ray vision cards to upgrade his skill to advanced X-ray vision.

Followed by.

He focused his consciousness slightly and activated his X-ray vision.

In an instant, under his clairvoyance, the fog in front of him was as if it didn't exist and did not affect his vision at all.

Moreover, he discovered that, under the X-ray vision, the female believers behind him appeared to have no clothes at all, as if they were completely naked, a vast expanse of white skin.

Suddenly.

Zeng Shen was stunned for a moment.

This skill seems a bit off!
After the fog proved ineffective, Zeng Shen did not take immediate action, but instead took out another hint card and used it.

soon.

There was a line of small print on this reminder card.

[The three passages within the cave all eventually lead to the depths of the cavern, where the Hidden Spirit Clan resides.]

"No way, all three cave passages lead to the Hidden Spirit Clan's settlement!"

Zeng Shen looked at the contents of the prompt card, muttered something in surprise, and then randomly chose to walk through the cave passage on the east side.

At the entrance of one of the cave passages, several hidden spirits became anxious as they watched Zeng Shen seemingly unaffected by the mist.

One of the hidden spirits spoke up: "Sister, our fog doesn't seem to work on him."

"It's alright, little sister. The fog won't work on him, but there are so many intersections in our cave. If he takes the wrong path, he'll eventually end up outside."

"Uh-huh."

now.

Zeng Shen was unaware that several Hidden Spirit Clan members were following them not far behind.

soon.

Zeng Shen and his group had only walked a few steps when a fork in the road appeared in front of them.

For these branching points, Zeng Shen directly spent 500 production points to exchange for a prompt card.

With the hint card, he immediately knew that the left passage led to another passage and eventually out of the cave.

The right side leads to the depths of the cave.

Immediately.

Zeng Shen quickly led his followers into the cave passage on the right.

Not far behind Zeng Shen.

The five invisible spirits, all completely transparent, watched in astonishment as Zeng Shen walked towards the passage on the right.

Suddenly, a clear, ethereal voice rang out, immediately filled with alarm:
"Sister Shuiling, he chose the right-hand passage!"

“It’s alright, little sister. He probably just picked randomly. There are so many passages and intersections behind him. He couldn’t possibly have chosen the right one every time. If he had chosen the wrong one, he would have ended up coming out of the cave.” Yinling, who was called Sister Shuiling, immediately said.
