333 Any Ideas? (2/2)

”It was probably the guys who took the left side. Whatever they found there, it doesn't seem to have been good.”

Krune and everyone else nodded.

”Let's keep going.”

Not too long after, their group had to select another route. But this time, there were three paths to be chosen. Rarol looked at them and narrowed his eyes.

His older brother, Tinnian, noticed it and then asked.

”What is it?”

Rarol then said with a Divine Sense Message.

”The center seems fine while the left gives me the same sensation as the previous one. As for the right... it is a mix of good and bad feelings. If I was to guess, there would be some interesting rewards, but at the same time equivalent danger. It is up to you guys which side you are going to follow, center, or right.”

Krune looked at everyone, and they nodded.

”Well, the right side it is!”

That was obvious. They came here to see if this Mohie Zarks had something to do with the same Mohie Zarks from the Luvile Universe. But at the same time, they also wanted to find treasures, resources, and Soul Techniques for Heavin to analyze.

Once again, the majority followed Krune's group while a few took the left and center paths.

This time, Krune and his group were moving very slowly to be ready for any trap. After a few minutes, the cave trembled again. They didn't need to think much to understand that the left path was probably the reason.

They ignored it and pressed forward. At some point, Krune detected that the tunnel started to expand. Soon, they reached what seemed to be an enormous space inside the mountain. They looked around and could see several small cave rooms on the sides. On the other side, the path to keep moving forward as there as well.

Just as Krune and the others were about to enter that space, Rarol stopped them with a Divine Sense Message.

”There is something ahead.”

Although Krune and his group stopped, some of the cultivators and demon beasts didn't. They rushed inside, expecting to be the first one to take the treasures in those rooms. The rest had noticed that Krune didn't enter, so they, too, decided to play safe and wait with Krune.

Sure enough, that space that seemed to be silent until now changed completely. Krune felt the Spiritual Energy rushing into the soil, and soon, several vines shot out of it. They immediately targeted the cultivators and demons beasts that entered the space.

Those guys were all in the Divine Soul or Soul Forging Realm, so they obviously had the power to protect themselves... or so they thought. Although their attacks damaged some of the vines, the majority were still fine. It didn't matter what element or laws they used; it didn't seem to have much of an effect on the vines either.

That wasn't all. Their energy barriers were utterly useless against those vines. They pierced through it as if they were made of paper! Those vines soon penetrated everyone who entered the space, and the bodies of the Demon Beasts and Cultivators started to dry quickly.

They tried their best to get rid of the vines, but it was useless. Just a few seconds later, only their bones were left behind. Still, there were three exceptions!

Two Demon Beasts in human form and one Cultivator were at the center of the room, looking at all of that frightened. But for some reason, the vines didn't target them.

Krune was paying attention to everything and then said.

”I see, so that's how it is.”

He then started to move forward as if nothing had happened in the first place. Feifei and the others didn't understand what he was thinking but followed him nonetheless.

Soon, Krune got beside those three who felt too scared to move.

”Don't worry, the vines will not attack you here.”

Krune then looked behind to the others and said.

”As long as we don't enter those cave rooms, the vines won't do anything. Just follow the center path through the room to the exit on the other side, and we will all be safe. Those vines are here to protect the cave rooms, that's all.”

Finally, everyone understood why Krune wasn't afraid of entering and soon followed. Just as he said, those vines did not approach the center path that leads to the other side.

While the others were passing, Krune and his group stayed in the center of the room. There were, of course, a few others who also stayed there, and they all had the same idea. If those caves are being protected, then some of the treasures and resources that they are after is probably inside.

Feifei then looked at Krune and the others.

”Well, any ideas?”
