Chapter 330: The Mysterious Cave of the Generous Hand

uldn't bear it anymore and used both hands to cover his ears, then said to Kaneki: "Kaneki-leader, you should say something.""No mood," Kaneki replied with three words, turning away and crossing his a...“What’s going on” Qin Luoyan shouted in a low voice, but when she turned to look at Xiao Fan and the others, she was horrified to find that there was no one behind her. In an instant, she realized what Li Yun had done to them, “Did you do this on purpose Why did you abandon them”

Li Yunfan didn't speak, he just urged the camel to run forward quickly.

After a while, Li Hai and Li Fan stopped in front of a cave opening.

All three dismounted their camels, but Qin Luoyan was worried about Xiao Fan's safety. She grabbed Li Yunfan's arm and shouted urgently, "What on earth is going on"

Li Yunfan's eyes swept over her brows with a cool gaze, and said: "Don't worry, this is just fog, it won't hurt them, it will only trap them."

"Why are they keeping us here" Qin Luoyan felt more and more confused. If Li Yunfan and Li Hai had something to do privately, why would they bring her along But since they brought her, it meant this matter must be related to her!

"I'll take you somewhere," Li Fan said, nothing more. Then, he took over the reins, grasping her wrist and turning to Li Hai, "Let's go, Uncle."

Li Hai responded with a sound, and then walked to the entrance of the cave. The entrance of the cave was not large, only three feet wide and one person high, barely enough for one person to pass through. In the night, such a cave would be inconspicuous unless someone familiar with the surroundings could find it directly.

The entrance to the cave had been sealed with an iron gate, which was bound by a dozen or so iron chains as thick as arms. The chains nearly completely obscured the gate.

Li Hai took out his key, opened the padlock on the iron chain, and then took off the heavy chain and threw it aside.

"Let's go, it's already night, we don't have much time left." Li Hai said and plunged into the cave.

Li Yunfan also pulled Qin Luoyan's arm and followed in.

The cave was much wider than it appeared from the outside. After walking down a corridor about ten zhang long, they arrived at a spacious stone chamber. The chamber formed a circle, its walls made of hard granite. Every one or two meters on the wall, there was a palm-sized amber stone. At a rough glance, there were no less than a hundred such amber stones surrounding them.

This in itself is a great fortune. Such amber, any single piece could be exchanged for tens of thousands of gold coins.

But Li Yunfan and Li Hai ignored those amber stones completely. Instead, Li Hai walked up to one of them. Qin Luoyan was puzzled about what he was going to do, when she saw him raise his hand and knock three times on the amber stone.

Something astonishing happened, the amber stone simply fell down. However, where the amber stone landed, a small pit was formed, and at the bottom of the pit, there was a keyhole!

Li Hai carefully took off a key pendant from his neck. He inserted the key into the keyhole, and after a loud rumbling sound, the rock wall in front of him automatically opened, forming a stone gate. The depths of the stone gate were pitch black, revealing another passage.

“These… are all man-made Every amber stone is like this” Qin Luoyan gasped, unable to help but look around at the amber stones. She didn't even dare to imagine what would be hidden beneath these amber stones if there were small pits underneath each one, and keys in those pits. How many passages would this cave hold

Li Yunfan followed her gaze and glanced at the amber stones in the cave. Then, with difficulty, he nodded. "There are keyholes under those amber stones, but... this key can't open all the stone doors, only one-third of them. And... so far, only this passage have we found something inside after entering. The other passages..."

At this point, Li Yunfan's eyes seemed filled with a hint of sadness. He sighed before continuing, "For ten years now, our Li family has made countless attempts. Thousands have died trying to explore the ends of any other passageways, but we haven't found another."

Even with the full might of the Li family, they were unable to explore what lay behind those passages This shocked Qin Luoyan even more. She already knew how powerful a mysterious family like the Li family was, and even they couldn't figure it out. What secrets could be hidden within those passages

"Nephew, let's not waste time talking. We only have one hour, we need to hurry." Li Hai walked ahead and seeing that the two hadn't followed yet, he turned back and urged them.

Li Yunfan nodded, tugged Qin Luoyan's arm and continued walking forward. As he walked, he explained to Qin Luoyan, "We need to keep up with my uncle. There are many mechanisms in these passages. Even a master craftsman might not be able to figure out the way through here. Taking one wrong step could lead to death. Although most of the mechanisms have been disabled by previous adventurers, there are still a large number that remain formidable. Fortunately, based on the groundwork laid by those who came before us, the mechanisms are weakest during one hour after nightfall each day. This is why it's much easier for us to enter at this time. After that hour, even if the mechanisms have been disabled, we wouldn't be able to guarantee our safe passage."

The sides of the passage were pockmarked with various traces, some apparently formed by arrows, others by impacts of massive objects, and still others seemingly by corrosive poison. Although no mechanism was activated, one could discern the deadly nature of the trap from these remnants. Scattered on the floor along the sides of the passage were also a few scattered bones.

For some reason, Qin Luoyan just knew those were human bones! The long corridor was filled with such tiny fragments. What kind of cruel trap would reduce people to nothing but these little pieces, not even leaving a single whole bone

Both Li Hai and Li Yun's steps were quick, Qin Luo'yan had to almost run to keep up with them. By the time they finished walking through the passage, she was panting heavily.

At the end of the passage was a pool of icy water, surrounded by a closed space that seemed to have no way forward.

"Can you swim" Li Yunfan turned to ask her.

Qin Luo'yan widened her eyes and pointed at the icy pool, "We're going down there"

Li Yunfan nodded. "The place we're going to can only be reached by passing through Hantan. The other side of this Hantan is also a stone room."

Okay! With this kind of design, Qin Luoyan is impressed!

"I can swim, but I can't hold my breath for too long." Qin Luoyan said with a hard face.

“It’ll be fine, that side of the Cold Pond isn’t very long either. When I go in, I’ll hold onto you tightly. As long as I'm alive, I won’t let go.” Li Yunfan spoke and took out a bead from his bosom. He shoved the bead into Qin Luoyan’s hand and said, “This Cold Pond water is a thousand years of ice-coldness. Ordinary people can’t bear such piercing cold. When you get in, wear this bead. It can ward off the cold.”
