Chapter 142 Cave Entrance



Chapter 142 Cave Entrance

Golden Autumn, this furry golden ball, is like the most dazzling touch of warmth, jumping lightly at Xinghan's feet, and every step seems so agile and full of vitality.

Its golden fur naturally shines with a soft and charming luster.

It's like a little guy who is especially favored by the sun, radiating warm light all over his body.

Its eyes were round and it looked up at the stars from time to time, as if it was communicating with him in its own way.

Suddenly, she stopped, her eyes flashing with mischief and curiosity, and she asked Xinghan a slightly childish question: "Are you going to hit me?"

Xinghan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a helpless yet doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He raised his voice, with a hint of firmness and tenderness in it, as if he was announcing his position to the world:

"If it wasn't me, how could I bear to hit you?"

The giant beast was so majestic that Xinghan thought it would not believe what he said. However, the giant beast did not refute Xinghan at all and believed it very readily.

There was a hint of softness in his deep voice as he asked, "Are you my friend, then?"

Xinghan coughed lightly and thought that there should be a contractual relationship between the giant beast and the ancient cultivator. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are friends, and it could also be said that they are masters.

If you say you are a friend, the behemoth will inevitably ask you questions.

If he were to say that he was the master, perhaps the giant beast would feel a little awed.

Thinking this, he replied, "I am your master."

"Oh." Jin Qiu murmured, "Hello, Master."

"Yeah." There was a hint of majesty in Xinghan's deep voice.

Xinghan's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to his recent encounter with the mysterious beast.

The deep eyes of the giant beast seemed to contain the secrets of the universe, and its words still echoed in his ears -

"Just tell me the name and I will know where this person is."

This sentence was like a key, unlocking the doubts and desires in Xinghan's heart.

Thinking of this, Xinghan looked down at Jinqiu who was jumping happily at his feet, and an inexplicable trust and expectation surged in his heart.

He asked softly: "Jin Qiu, can you tell me where Shen Li is now?"

Jin Qiu's round eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. It paused for a moment, then replied with extraordinary intelligence:

"Xinghan, you just need to remember this name - Shen Li. When this name comes out of my mouth, it will be like a guide that can lead us to find her. Are you ready? I will take you to where she is."

Xinghan felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He nodded, with a determined light in his eyes: "We are ready, Jinqiu. Let's go find Shen Li together."

Jinqiu slightly opened its golden mouth, without making any substantial sound, but Xinghan clearly "heard" a melodious piano sound.

This piece of piano music did not come from any external instrument, but sounded directly in his heart. Every note contained deep meaning, as if it was the purest language of nature.

In this piece of piano music, Xinghan seemed to see Shen Li's outline, feel her breath, and even vaguely hear her gentle words.

It turned out that Jin Qiu directly conveyed Shen Li's name, as well as her direction and location in its own unique way - through this piece of piano music.

This piece of piano music not only serves as a guide, but also acts as an emotional bond, connecting Xinghan and Shenli, bringing their hearts close together in an instant.

Xinghan closed his eyes and immersed himself in the wonderful music of the piano, letting it lead him through the woods, across the stream, and over the hills.

As the sound of the piano became clearer and firmer, Xinghan knew that they were getting closer and closer to Shen Li.

"Here I come, let's go find Shen Li!" As he spoke, Jin Qiu seemed to feel some kind of power.

Its body suddenly stopped for a moment, and then a strange light flashed in its round eyes.

Without words or warning, Jinqiu suddenly rose into the sky and transformed into a streak of golden light, which instantly flew through the forest with Xinghan at an astonishing speed, as if they had forgotten all about time.

The trees flew past Xinghan's eyes and turned into a blurry green ocean.

The wind whistled in my ears, carrying the rustling of leaves and the singing of unknown birds in the distance, forming a symphony of nature.

Xinghan closed his eyes tightly and let Jinqiu lead him forward. He felt both nervous about the unknown and excited about meeting Shen Li.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but when Xinghan opened his eyes again, they were already in a quiet forest.

The sunlight shines through the dense treetops, casting dappled shadows, adding a sense of mystery and tranquility to the forest.

Xinghan looked around and thought to himself:

Is this where Shen Li is?

Just as he was wondering, an angry and sharp voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Someone, someone, come here! Get out of here, you bastard!"

That was Shen Li's voice, Xinghan realized, that was Shen Li's inner voice.

"It's here!" Xinghan said excitedly. He called out to Shen Li loudly, but it seemed that his voice was blocked.

He tried to capture the scene in front of him with his eyes, but the dense bushes and intricate branches were like natural barriers that blocked his sight.

"Jinqiu, I... I can't see the cave entrance ahead." There was a hint of anxiety in Xinghan's voice. He was worried whether he had gone in the wrong direction or missed some important clues.

Jinqiu seemed to be able to sense Xinghan's thoughts. It did not stop moving forward, but just gently responded: "Don't worry, Xinghan. I will take you to find it."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Qiu suddenly increased the speed of circling around Xinghan, as if he was accumulating some kind of power.

Then, it opened its little mouth and uttered a clear and loud cry:

"The mouth of the hole!"

As the sound of the piano echoed, subtle changes began to occur somewhere in the woods.

The trees that were originally closely arranged seemed to be gently pushed away by an invisible force, and a gray hole gradually appeared before their eyes.

The entrance of the cave looks inconspicuous, even a little shabby and eerie.

There were no decorations or signs around the cave entrance. Only the purple-black gloomy aura constantly emanated from inside, making people feel a chill involuntarily.

Xinghan looked at the sudden cave entrance, feeling both surprised and curious.

He didn't expect that in such a seemingly ordinary forest, there was such a mysterious and unknown place hidden.

"Is this the place we are looking for?" Xinghan asked, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
