Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1748 Pick One

There must be more than just Yang Yiyi and her friends in the Erlang Mountain area. Not to mention the group of unidentified guys who came in earlier, the bandits are also trying to find a way in.

It was impossible to tell the identity of the people outside just by listening to the voices. The leader Qin Yan signaled everyone to wait near the cave entrance, and she tiptoed over.

The entrance to the cave was covered by a stone, leaving only a crack that was barely wide enough for someone to pass sideways.

Qin Yan went out for a few seconds, then came back and said:

"It was the bandits from last night."

Shit, they actually came in.

"It's hard for them to see where we are now, but I saw they moved the gunpowder barrels over there. If they really blow up the mountain by force, we won't be safe now."

Anyway, everyone is now in a secret passage, and the safest and most reliable way is to wait here until the bandits leave on their own.

After all, there are so many bandits, so it’s better not to fight them if you can. The treasure hasn’t been collected yet.

But if the gunpowder barrel explodes, the stability of the cave will be a problem.

"When you get out, head up the mountain. The bandits are at the foot of the mountain and shouldn't be able to see you."

Hearing what Li Chengxi said, everyone nodded and then walked out of the cave.

The exit of the cave is quite narrow, and people have to turn sideways to pass through, so fox spirits and capybara spirits can't get through at all.

Yang Yiyi and Ning Xianer had to hold on to the big rock at the entrance of the cave and move it to create a bigger gap, and then put the stone back to cover the hole.

When you come out of the cave, you will find yourself on the mountain wall. If you look down, you can see the circular martial arts field. About 70 or 80 meters to the lower left of you is the cave you came from.

Now there is a large group of bandits gathered there, a rough count shows there are hundreds of them, they are clamoring for the gunpowder barrel.

These bandits were quick. Logically speaking, even if they had a way to come in through the pass of Erlang Mountain, they should not be able to find the Boyun Cave.

Yang Yiyi and the others found it with the help of the land god.

But don’t forget, before entering this area, there were many forks in the cave, and no one said there was only one entrance.

This group of bandits was forced into a powder keg because they must have encountered the door that could only be opened with the leader's iron ring. Even Yang Yiyi and Ning Xian'er couldn't open the vermilion lacquered and copper-nailed door with brute force, so the bandits could only try using the powder keg.

I just wonder how interesting the expressions on their faces were when they finally opened it after great effort and found that it was empty...

The bandits are just one of the groups that came to rob the treasure. I don’t know how many more there are. It’s best to avoid them if possible and make your fortune in silence.

So everyone did as Li Chengxi said and ran up the mountain along the cliff wall after coming out.

Due to the angle, it was difficult for people at the foot of the mountain to see the situation above. However, Yang Yiyi and her friends didn't even need to look. They could tell where the bandits were by listening to the noise and just stayed away from them as much as possible.

Li Chengxi asked the vixen to cast an illusion that could interfere with vision on everyone. To put it bluntly, it was similar to mosaic camouflage, destroying the outline of the human body. From a distance, it was impossible to see that there were three people and two monsters climbing on the cliff.

Even though everyone was quite fast, it was still difficult to move on the cliff. It took almost an hour to finally get away from the bandits. During this time, they could hear the loud noises of gunpowder barrels exploding and the sound of earth and rocks collapsing from time to time.

The bandits are really rough at their job. Could these guys blow up the mountain?

They walked all the way to the edge of the valley and finally found a slightly flatter place where they could use the momentum to jump down.

Forget about jumping up, as the higher cliffs were like they were cut by a knife, straight up and down, with no place to gain leverage.

Now everyone is on the west side of the valley. On the east side is the ruins of the sect, where a large group of bandits have gathered. The west side should have been farmland or orchards, but now it has been abandoned, and the original appearance can only be judged by the remaining ditches.

"The probability of running into other people next time will be very high. Either we return to the original route and sneak out of Erlang Mountain while no one is watching, or we go back to Yundong and take the fork in the road to see where the other fork leads to."

Yang Yiyi immediately said:
"We can't leave until we find the treasure that Father Eagle mentioned."

"I think so too."

Li Chengxi actually just thought it was troublesome. Anyway, with Ning Xianer on the side, it would not be difficult to break out even if there were more people.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

This valley, similar to Taoyuan Valley, is not big. Standing at the entrance of Boyun Cave, you can even see the ends of both sides at a glance.

Apart from an abandoned sect, there is nothing worth noting.

The group returned to Bo Yun Cave along the same route and soon found themselves back at the fork in the road.

Many forks in the road lead to the abandoned sect, which means that the sect is indeed important, but the most delicious things in it have been taken away. Now it’s just a matter of choosing a fork in the road and seeing if it can lead to other places.

Putting aside the fork in the road that Yang Yiyi and her friends took when they came, among the many forks in the road, there was one road where a large number of footprints could be seen, which was obviously the road the bandits took when they came.

It is not certain whether they got the treasure in Erlang Mountain, but at least it is obviously not possible to take the bandits' detour.

There are five or six forks in the road left, and I really have no way to judge. I can only pick one at random and take a look.

The Boyun Cave itself is also halfway up the mountain. Everyone chose a fork in the road to go in. Not long after walking, they felt that the altitude was gradually decreasing, as if they were walking on a slope.

I feel like this fork in the road shouldn't be very long, and I should be able to reach the exit soon.

As a result, they walked inside for almost an hour and did not see any sign of an exit.

Judging from the descent rate, after walking for such a long time, let alone returning to the ground from halfway up the mountain, we should have reached underground. God knows how deep this fork in the road is.

This triggered Yang Yiyi's PTSD. She had fallen underground for a week in Leishanzang, and ever since then Yang Yiyi has had a psychological trauma.

Normally it's okay to go into a cave, but I'm afraid of places like this that are bottomless. I don't know how deep they are, so I have to reach into my arms to grab the jade sceptre to replenish my courage while walking.

Others also felt that the cave was a bit too deep. The main reason was that everyone was not familiar with the geological structure here. If they casually drilled into such a deep cave, who knew if the ground under their feet would suddenly collapse and they would fall into the bottomless abyss.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in cave exploration.

Just when everyone was feeling a little anxious, wondering whether they should turn back and choose another fork in the road, a breeze finally appeared ahead.

This made everyone excited and quicken their pace.

After walking for another cup of tea, light finally appeared ahead.

It stands to reason that there should be no sunlight at such a deep place, but after walking in the dark cave for too long, everyone urgently needs to return to the open area.

After passing through the cave, the long period of darkness caused their eyes to feel a little uncomfortable due to the strong light stimulation, and everyone covered their eyes with their hands.

When my eyes adjusted to the bright light, I could see that outside the cave was a vast expanse of lush flowers...
