The path through the cave was unexpectedly smooth.
There were no signs of traps nor a single beasts, nothing to obstruct them. Just an eerie silence.
That is, until they crossed a seemingly ordinary rock… and a hidden formation flared to life.
In an instant, their surroundings shifted. The rocky walls vanished, replaced by ornate stone pillars and glowing runes.
A warm, golden light filled the air, and ahead of them lay a majestic, palace-like chamber hidden deep within the mountain.
Liu Mei's eyes lit up with joy. "See! What did I tell you? This cave is a treasure trove!"
Shan Yifeng raised an eyebrow. "I thought you said we would find dragons." then turning his head he added, "Seems like we walked into a teleportation formation."
Liu Mei waved him off with a smug. "Same thing! Didn't Master always say dragons hoard treasures? So I wasn't really wrong."
They then stepped into the opulent chamber, its walls engraved with ancient patterns and spiritual script.
