Divine Seal: God Descends, Holy Priest Riding a Black Dragon

Chapter 53 The Cave of Fear and Howl
After cleaning up the battlefield, the two demon-hunting teams climbed towards the Fearful Howl Cave. The hill wasn't particularly high, about seven or eight hundred meters. Everyone was still dressed as Moon Demons.

Standing on the mountaintop and looking out, there was a mountain range in the distance, just as shown on the map, so it seemed that they were in the right place.

Long Haochen held up a map for comparison, while the others surrounded him.

"The Howling Cave that the Demon Commander mentioned earlier should be the Howling Cave of Fear. We cut off the demon reinforcements and prevented them from spreading the news, so there shouldn't be any more demon reinforcements in the next few days."

"Therefore, the only threat to us is the cave itself!"

Wen Tai gazed intently at the distant mountains. Due to the pollution of demonic power, the mountains were mostly barren, just like the desolate land.

Just then, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out without warning.

“Woooo ...!!!”

The piercing howl echoed through the mountains, the ghostly wailing and howling accompanied by a series of echoes, giving everyone a chilling feeling that made the hairs on their bodies stand on end.

The shrieks didn't stop there; they echoed continuously among the mountains, growing ever more intense. As the sound amplified, the mountains trembled involuntarily.

Everyone covered their ears; hearing such a chilling sound repeatedly would instill a strong sense of fear in them.

The shriek lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before gradually disappearing. Although it had no direct killing power, it still caused a great shock to everyone.

"This must be coming from inside the Cave of Fear and Howl. If there were such a loud sound inside the cave, we would probably be deafened!" Lu Xi analyzed with a grim expression.

Long Haochen's face was ashen; clearly, he had no idea that the howling sound emanating from the Fearful Howling Cave would be so terrifying.

"Let's go first and talk about it after we find the cave. If we can't find a solution, we won't go in."

The thirteen people started again, but they were going downhill much faster than they were going uphill.

Half an hour later, they followed the ravine to the side of another mountain peak.

As the group searched for the Cave of Fear and Howl, the shrill howl resounded once more!

Because the distance was so close, everyone felt dizzy the moment the shriek appeared. They quickly gathered together, each activating their spiritual power to protect their ears and try to block out the terrifying sound waves as much as possible.

However, this shriek was clearly not so easy to block.

While protecting himself, Wen Tai used sonic magic to reduce the impact of the terrifying howl on everyone.

Just as everyone's condition improved, several figures suddenly emerged from behind the rocks in the distance.

These figures are clearly demons.

One great demon, two demon warlocks, and then five or six lesser demons.

These demons looked extremely pitiful, as if they had been tormented by fear and wailing!
Wen Tai's hands remained still, but the spiritual aperture in his chest throbbed like a pulse. A cold, icy light shot out like a silver dragon, instantly tearing apart several demons.

Thumbs up, Sariel!!
Lu Xi murmured a few incantations, raised his staff high, and a layer of golden light spread out like a precious umbrella, enveloping everyone inside.

Immediately, the irritation caused by the shriek was greatly reduced.

This is the pastor's calming mantra.

With Wen Tai and Lu Xi providing double support, the pressure on the other eleven members was significantly reduced.

The sudden appearance of those demons just now conveniently pointed Wen Tai and the others in the right direction.

Once the howling subsided, the group immediately went to the spot where the demons had jumped out and found their destination—the Cave of Fear and Howl.

It's more like a fissure than a cave.

The crack was about three meters wide and six or seven meters high, deep and dark inside. Numerous smaller cracks spread around the entrance, clearly caused by the shockwaves. Long Haochen raised the Holy Spirit Sword and struck the rock at the entrance, discovering it was far harder than granite.

After observing the situation outside, everyone gathered together.

Lin Xin said irritably, "This mission from the Alliance is really terrible. They didn't even tell us that the howling sound was so terrifying, so we were completely unprepared."

Wen Tai crossed his arms and said, "Now we only have one option: send someone in to test the intensity of the howling sound and estimate how long our spiritual power can sustain it."

“I’ll go,” Long Haochen said without hesitation.

"no!"

Lu Xi was the first to object: "Commander Long, you are the leader of the team, how can you put yourself in such danger? Let me do it. I am a magic-based class. If I can handle it, then everyone else should be fine."

Wen Tai said calmly, "Neither of your suggestions is reliable. The best option is for two people to go in and explore the cave while ensuring their own safety. So Hao Chen and I are the most suitable to go in."

"Yes."

Everyone accepted Wen Tai's suggestion.

Wen Tai and Long Haochen's strength is undeniable, and if they encounter danger inside, they have the highest probability of escaping.

Long Haochen quickly explained the mission, and then entered the cave with Wen Tai.

"Radiant Light!"

Upon entering the cave, Wen Tai raised his hand, and a burst of light appeared, making the situation inside the cave immediately clear.

After the two had moved forward for more than ten meters, the corpses of two little devils appeared before them.

A chilling air current wafted through the cave, much colder than the outside air, which was also slightly humid.

The two dared not speak, but simply walked side by side.

After walking about 200 meters, the road ahead suddenly ended, revealing a huge crack.

A crack appeared in the ground, below which lay a deep abyss!
Long Haochen glanced at Wen Tai silently. Wen Tai understood his meaning and then condensed another ball of light and threw it down.

The area illuminated by the light was very large, but after falling a few dozen meters, it crashed into a rock pillar.

But even this short distance of several dozen meters was enough to shock Long Haochen.

Below the crack, there were jagged, broken rocks that looked like steps, but it was impossible to know how deep it was below.

"It seems the shrieking sound might be coming from inside," Long Haochen said in a low voice.

Wen Tai nodded in agreement: "We haven't seen any other demon corpses along the way, so it's highly likely that the demon race has gone deep inside."

"Let's wait and see when Li Xiao will come next."

"it is good."

The two did not venture any deeper, but instead sat down on a nearby rock, patiently waiting for the next fierce howl.

Not long after, the shrieking sound reappeared.

The howling in the cave was particularly terrifying. Without the slightest hesitation, Wen Tai activated the second level of the "Golden Body Technique," and the surface of his body emitted a faint glow.
