Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 117 Mysterious Cave

"Elder, there's one thing I'm still unclear about. I'm sure this barrier has never appeared before. Think about it! During the battle with the main city, countless flying beasts flew through the sky unhindered. How come they collided with Bixi and even scratched its wings?"

Bai Chen analyzed the situation with Elder Guiyuan and unknowingly returned to the tribe.

"What's going on? Elder Guiyuan is injured?" Jin Jue yelled, causing everyone to rush out to see what was going on.

"Bai Chen, what's this, Elder Guiyuan?"

Mona asked worriedly, looking at Zichen and Guiyuan with hope.

"It's okay, I was just hit by a rock by accident. I'll be fine after a rest. My old bones are useless!"

Gui Yuan said this self-deprecatingly, but he didn't want to lose face in front of everyone.

"Come in and lie down. Jin Jue, go call the witch doctor. I'll use healing magic on you first. It won't be that uncomfortable!"

"Hey! Female cubs are better, Mona, why don't you be a female cub?"

Elder Guiyuan suddenly had an idea, laughed out loud, and thought this idea was feasible.

"Don't laugh anymore. When you get better, I promise you I'll acknowledge you as my father in front of the Beast God!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Gui Yuan said the three good words loudly and clearly, with wrinkles on his face from smiling!

"Na, I don't know what's inside this barrier for now. I accidentally stepped on a mechanism and injured Elder Guiyuan, so I hurried back. I analyzed it with the elder on the way! This barrier is somewhat similar to the Qilin Secret Realm, with five elements symbols."

"What a coincidence?"

"Coincidence? Not necessarily. When we attacked Huiqiang, we launched a lot of flying beasts. That place was a must-pass place, but we didn't find any barriers or barriers. And Bixi flew into it in one round and was injured! Don't you think it's strange?"

"It's a bit strange indeed," Mona said thoughtfully.

Bai Chen continued, "Also, this barrier seems to be targeting Tourmaline. Perhaps there is something special about it."

At this time, Jin Jue arrived with a witch doctor. After the witch doctor's treatment, Gui Yuan's injuries gradually improved.

"Thank you, witch doctor." Gui Yuan said gratefully.

"You're welcome. This is my duty," the witch doctor said with a smile. "However, when you mentioned the barrier, I'm also very curious. What exactly is this barrier? Why did it appear so suddenly?"

"We don't know either." Bai Chen shook his head, "But we have to find out, otherwise more people will get hurt in the future."

"Yeah, that's right." Mona nodded in agreement, "We have to find a way to break this barrier."

Everyone started talking and discussing how to break the barrier.

"Elder Guiyuan and I have already broken the barrier, but the situation inside the cave is unclear. It's full of traps and mechanisms! Just now, I accidentally stepped on something and it collapsed, and it also implicated Elder Guiyuan!"

Bai Chen looked at Elder Guiyuan with some apology, but Elder Guiyuan was still immersed in the beautiful dream of being a father.

At this time, Tourmaline came over and its wound had healed.

"Bixi, how do you feel?" Bai Chen asked with concern.

"I'm much better now," Bixi said. "I don't know what's going on with this barrier. But... I seem to remember something."

"What's the matter?" Bai Chen asked hurriedly.

Bixi frowned, trying to recall. "I remember... when I was very young, my father told me some legends about barriers. It's said that long ago, our ancestors set up a powerful barrier to protect the tribe. However, over time, the power of this barrier gradually weakened and eventually disappeared."

"Yes, there is such a legend. At first, we thought it was the Valley of Ecstasy, so we kept telling our tribesmen not to trespass! But this is the former residence of the chief, so we can rule it out. I am now certain that it is the barrier left by our Teng Snake ancestor."

The old patriarch of the Teng Snake tribe stood up and spoke with such confidence that everyone had to believe him.

"Could it be that this barrier has reappeared?" Mona speculated.

"It's possible." Bai Chen nodded. "If that's the case, then someone deliberately activated the barrier. But why target Tourmaline?"

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Elder Guiyuan sat up and said loudly, "I know! It must be the fluctuations of the atavistic energy of the tourmaline that affected it, and it was the tourmaline's blood that broke the barrier, allowing Bai Chen and I to find Canji and enter the cave."

"Blood sacrifice?" Bai Chen asked doubtfully, "Who set up this barrier?"

"Those are the powerful ones who once protected the Teng Snake Clan!" The Teng Snake Elder said excitedly, "They have always protected the prosperity of our tribe. This time, they may have sensed the special power of the tourmaline, so they used the barrier to awaken it."

"I see." Bai Chen suddenly realized, "Then we must find a way to get to the cave as soon as possible and find out what's going on."

"No rush, I want to ask Zhuzhu if she has any memories of this! Going there rashly would be dangerous, so we should make preparations!"

Mona turned her head and called out to Mengzi, "Mengzi, ask Zhuzhu if she has any memories or heritage of the Teng Snake Clan!"

"Mom, wait for me, I'll ask Zhuzhu!"

Mengzi took off Zhuzhu's hairpin and placed it in the palm of his hand. The two of them communicated silently. After the beasts stared at them for a while, Mengzi opened his eyes and said excitedly: "Zhuzhu said she knows how to get into the cave!"

Mona quickly asked, "How do I get in?"

Mengzi pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "Zhuzhu said there is a hidden entrance on that mountain that can only be opened with a specific spell."

Bai Chen frowned and said, "A specific spell? How do we know what it is? And we also entered the cave through runes!"

Mengzi smiled and said, "Zhuzhu will tell us! She said that as long as we follow her instructions, we can find the spell. The rune that Father Baichen broke first was fake and a lie."

So, everyone decided to follow Mengzi and Zhuzhu to the mountain. Along the way, Zhuzhu gave some instructions from time to time, asking everyone to turn left and right, and finally arrived at a hidden place.

Mengzi followed Zhuzhu's instructions and chanted a spell. Then he saw the mountain wall in front of him slowly open up, revealing a dark cave.

"This is the entrance to the cave!" Mengzai said happily.

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness. They didn't know what was waiting for them, but they were determined to explore and uncover the secrets of this mysterious barrier.

"I'll go in first, and you guys follow. Be careful! Don't get wiped out like you did in the Phoenix Clan!"

Bai Chen was still in shock at this time. Mona exchanged a few flashlights from the box. Once they were turned on, the cave suddenly became as bright as day.
