Chapter 59: The Masked Man at the Mountain Cave Entrance

  I remained silent, waiting for the Sunglasses Knight to tell me the story of the Ancient Bronze Sword. He told me that this ancient bronze sword seemed to be a sword made up of copper coins strung together, but in fact it had a history of several hundred years. At the same time, he also asked me to take a look at the coins on the ancient bronze sword. I looked from head to toe, but still couldn't understand, because normally, each copper coin has the name of an emperor plus the two characters "Tong Bao", but this ancient bronze sword didn't have any.

  The sunglasses-wearing hero told me that this originated from a special period hundreds of years ago, and the copper coin was also made under very special circumstances. As for what exactly it is, he wasn't clear either. However, due to its ingenious design, this ancient copper sword can communicate with spirits and is the natural enemy of impurities. Therefore, after being tempered by time, the sword's aura has become even more formidable, plus it's made from high-quality ancient copper, so it's extremely valuable. If a price had to be put on this sword, it would likely be worth hundreds of millions.

  At that time, I was stunned when I heard these words. Mo Jing Xia also told me that the ancient bronze sword, golden gu, and the Bagua pan on Xiao Rou's body were all supreme treasures. However, only those with strong power could wield them. Now that Wu Po has passed away, the three treasures are in our possession. So it is certain that we will avenge Wu Po!

  After the Ink Glasses Hero finished saying all this to me, I was truly filled with emotions, a bit astonished and saddened. At this time, that big turtle flipped over a mountain peak and surprisingly didn't leave.

  I thought the sunglasses guy hadn't seen it, pointing at that big turtle and asking: "Why isn't it moving?"

  "Take it easy," said the sunglasses-wearing hero with a sigh, "I think I saw something new. Let's go take a look at what this big turtle is up to."

  The two of us ran to the front of this big turtle, at which point I found that its four limbs were pressed against the ground, but it had stretched its head all the way out. Those two eyes also stared out, but they didn't have the same fear as before.

  The sunglasses hero placed the golden pendant in front of the big turtle, letting the flashing golden light shine on its forehead, and shouted at it: "Up!"

  The big turtle stood up again and crawled forward once more, this time its movements were no longer particularly fast.

  I was a bit puzzled and asked: "Brother Shades, what's going on? Can't find it or is there danger ahead?"

  "The sunglasses-wearing hero leaned against his chin and said to me, 'This is a divine turtle. How could it be lost? The reason it stopped for a moment was to tell me that there's great danger ahead, so let's be careful.'"

  "Oh, well then. Let's go with the past."

  The current situation is a bit special, and the sunglasses hero didn't continue to make any jokes with me. We just followed behind this big turtle king. After walking for about several hundred meters, this big turtle king stopped. The sunglasses hero opened the golden cicada again, letting the big turtle king drill in.

  I originally thought there was nothing, but when I saw the scene in front of me, I was stunned. This big turtle actually brought me to Fengmen Cave. Seeing that my face had an unusual expression, Mo Jian Xia asked me: "What's wrong, Little Dragon?"

  "This... this is the Sealed Gate Cave." I replied.

  The sunglasses-wearing hero looked around and then asked me, "Are you sure?"

  "Of course, I and Xiao Rou were just here the day before yesterday, so I can certainly confirm it." I nodded and said.

  "That's probably it, we'll enter this cave in a moment." The sunglasses hero took off his eyes and wiped them.

  "Okay, but this cave is a special case. I need to tell you about it!"

  Because of the urgent situation yesterday, I only gave a rough idea to Mo Jing Xiu, and I didn't have time to tell him about the evil door in Feng Men Dong. He said there was no time, telling me to enter while explaining.

  Just as we were about to enter the cave, we discovered an even more bizarre phenomenon. There were many dead birds and small animals such as rabbits and pheasants outside the entrance of the cave. The way they died was strange - all of them had their hearts hollowed out, and all of them had their eyes wide open. If there were only one or two, it wouldn't be a big deal, but with dozens laid out in front of the cave entrance, it was a terrifying sight.

  I and the sunglasses guy looked at each other, the sunglasses guy swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered: "What's going on? Scaring people." Then he turned back to ask me, "Did you have this thing last time you came?"

  "It was dark at that time and couldn't see very clearly, but I think there shouldn't be such a thing because it wasn't found when leaving in the morning." My uncertain reply.

  "So, is there or isn't there?" The sunglasses-wearing guy stared at me and asked.

  "No!" I replied firmly.

  "This is really strange! I can't tell what kind of technique was used to make this, but it looks especially terrifying. Even I, a handsome guy with so many years of experience, don't know what's going on. A bit drunk, but not particularly severe, how about you?"

  When the sunglasses hero said this, I was still quite happy in my heart, because I thought he was going to turn on his goofy mode, which is a mode I've always liked, and can minimize horror to the smallest extent, at this time it's undoubtedly the best.

  "I don't feel anything!" I said with a shrug.

  Just then, a strange noise came from above the cave, and immediately afterwards, someone fell down from the entrance of the cave.

  The sunglasses hero quickly took out a golden pendant and shouted: "Not good, someone is here."

  At this time a person with his whole body curled up and his head lowered appeared in front of us, I also held the ancient bronze sword pointing at the person who just appeared.

  The man raised his hands above his head and slowly stood up. However, we couldn't see his face clearly because he was wearing a very thick mask.

  "Don't be agitated, I'm not a bad person." The man said in a slightly hoarse voice.

  The sunglasses-wearing hero snorted and said, "Damn it, who the hell comes out and says they're a bad guy? You're hiding on top of the mountain cave, what's going on? If you don't spit it out, I'll let the dogs bite you to death."

  "This great hero, please don't be agitated, I'm really not a bad person. The reason I appeared here is that I want to enter this cave." The person continued to say with their hands still raised above their head, although their face couldn't be seen clearly, but it was possible to feel the fear they had towards the two of us.

  The masked man gave me a look at this time, seemingly wanting me to ask. I held the ancient bronze sword horizontally in my hand and asked him: "Do you want to enter this cave? What's your reason? And why are you wearing a mask on such a hot day, have you done something shameful?"

  "I'm a tomb raider. According to my investigation, this cave should be someone's tomb, and there should be treasures inside that I want to get. I wear a mask because my face is too ugly, plus I often go to rob tombs and see some corpses, so I'm afraid of being seen by them and taking revenge, so I always wear a mask."

  Although I thought his answer was a bit strange, it also made sense, so I didn't pursue the question further and instead asked: "Oh? Then why haven't you gone in yet?"

  "You also saw the situation outside the cave entrance. These animals died under strange circumstances, and I'm a bit scared. Judging from your attire, you seem to be yin-yang masters or something similar. So when I saw you were going in, I thought of joining you."

  Before I could continue asking, the sunglasses-wearing guy interrupted me and said: "You're just a timid guy like this, yet you dare to rob tombs? Have you been watching too many movies?"

  "Yes, and besides, tomb raiding isn't something one person can accomplish alone, so I advise you to just go home." I chimed in with the Sunglasses Cavalier.

  At this time, the sunglasses hero sneered at me and said: "You little guy, I like your humor."

  "I just want to go with you, that's all. I'll have a companion, you can take me or not, but I won't be able to go home." Due to his slightly rapid speech this time, we heard some imperfections in his hoarse voice.

  Although it's not too obvious, it can be clearly felt that this person's hoarse voice is fake and not innate.

  Just as I was about to speak, the sunglasses-wearing hero pulled me aside and said with a smile: "Of course we can take you along. As they say, 'A thousand miles of rivers and mountains are nothing but emotions.' Since our paths have crossed, that's a kind of fate. Let's follow them into the cave!"

  At that time, I didn't understand and wanted to ask the sunglasses hero what was going on. At first, his attitude was very resolute, and we were not doing ordinary things by entering. How could he possibly choose to bring him along?
