"Impossible, if the zombies want to block the cave, they must use stones, won't they? Look at those stones over there. Were they ever moved? Is there any less than before?"

As Xiao Mu was saying, he pointed at the pile of stones.

The pile of stones was in disarray, yet clearly have been idle for several days, with no signs of disturbance.

Cang Wushi shook his head, indicating that the pile of stones had not been disturbed.

He had been monitoring the area for several days, thus he was in the position to speak with authority about the state of the pile stones.

"In order to block the cave, the zombies have to use something, right? They can't just block the cave out of thin air. With so many stones there, untouched, what are the zombies using to block the cave? Not to mention..."

As Xiao Mu was asking, he suddenly looked at Cang Wushi and asked, "When was the last time you contacted Dragon Warrior?"

Cang Wushi thought for a while and replied, "A little more than half an hour ago, absolutely less than an hour."

"That's right. How could the zombies block a seven or eight-meter-deep cave in less than an hour?"

Xiao Mu glanced at the others one by one.

The color of their faces changed immediately as they heard this.

Suddenly realizing something, King Qingshan walked up to the front, said nothing, and threw a punch at the stone wall.

"Bang!"

His fierce punch on the stone wall resulted in stones flying around.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not giving up, King Qingshan threw several more punches. Yet, every time only resulted in stones flying around with no other movement.

"Impossible, this is solid. If it was hollow and merely blocked by something, my punch strength would have smashed it open in about three punches at most."

King Qingshan turned to Xiao Mu, disappointment showing on his face.

When Xiao Mu claimed that it was hollow, he was slightly thrilled. Now, realizing it was solid again, he was disappointed once more.

However, Xiao Mu just smiled faintly, "I just checked, and also thought it was solid, which made me suspect more."

"As expected, this stone wall should have been blocked by some special item, creating an illusion, giving us a false perception."

"An illusion?"

Everybody was stunned upon hearing this, but then they couldn't help but get excited.

If it really was an illusion, then it might be possible.

If we break the illusion, the task can carry on.

For them, this is undoubtedly good news.

"Everyone, please step back. Let me break this illusion and show you what is really blocking the cave entrance,"

Xiao Mu told the others.

Upon hearing this, King Qingshan, Red Thread Woman, Grand Chan Master, and Cang Wushi hurriedly stepped back, not wanting to interfere with Xiao Mu.

Crack!

Xiao Mu hoisted up his Peach Wood Sword and swung it at the stone wall.

In this spot, he detected the presence of an evil aura, and without a doubt, the cave must be located here.

The Peach Wood Sword condensed with thunder and struck into the stone wall on the spot.

This was Thunder Power, though weak, it specializes in breaking all kinds of evil spirits. No matter what kind of illusion this stone wall had, once struck by the Thunder Power, it would reveal its true form.

Seeing this, everyone admired it inwardly.

They recognized the Thunder Power, and didn't expect Xiao Mu's Peach Wood Sword could release Thunder Power.

Thunder Power specializes in countering evil absurdity, and is among some of the strongest forces in the world.

Regarding Xiao Mu's Peach Wood Sword with eyes full of envy, they all coveted his weapon.

In their eyes, this Peach Wood Sword is indeed a rare treasure.

Especially the Thunder Power; if the stone wall truly had some illusion, being hit by Thunder Power would certainly reveal its true form.

However, against expectations, the Thunder Power hit the stone wall and was absorbed.

Eh!

To Xiao Mu's surprise, rather than being disappointed, he was pleased. He clearly noticed that as the Thunder Power was absorbed, the evil aura on the stone wall was diminishing rapidly.

Could it be that the item forming the stone wall and blocking the cave was actually being supported by the evil aura?

Grand Chan Master could not perceive the issue and seeing the Thunder Power being absorbed by the stone wall, a look of disappointment spread across his face, and he voiced his doubts, "Mr. Mu, could it be a mistake?"

"No, it couldn't be."

Xiao Mu replied. Wielding his Thunder Pattern Sword, he continuously struck the stone wall.

Crack!

Crack!

Lightning was continuously released, continuously hitting the stone wall, causing the evil aura on the stone wall to rapidly decrease.

Finally...

After the fifth strike of the Thunder Power from the Thunder Pattern Sword, something collapsed loudly revealing its true form. It fell over, and the cave appeared.

"This..."

Everyone was stunned, both surprised and delighted, as they looked at the cave that had suddenly appeared.

Xiao Mu, however, couldn't resist looking at the object that had now revealed its true form and had fallen over at the entrance to the cave.

It was a piece of coffin, cast in bronze, covered in rust, appearing to be a thousand years old, it was still a mystery from where the zombies had brought it.

"What is this?"

The crowd gathered around and inspected the coffin.

Someone quickly recognized it, "It's part of a coffin!"

"What an old coffin!"

"It must be at least a thousand years old!"

...

Everyone speculated in turn, but this was not their biggest concern. Now that the coffin had been removed and the entrance to the cave was revealed again, the most urgent matter was to pass through the cave, enter the zombie's base and seize the Air Bead.

"Thank you, Mr. Mu. If it weren't for you discovering the problem, we would have had to give up on this task."

The Grand Chan Master sincerely thanked Xiao Mu.

"There's no need to thank me, Grand Chan Master. I just did what I needed to do!"

Xiao Mu replied calmly.

Red Thread Woman nodded to Xiao Mu enthusiastically, "So you're Mr. Mu? I heard about you a long time ago. How about we exchange contact information after the task is complete?"

"Sure!"

Xiao Mu agreed. Having more friends means more convenience, and since the world had changed and it was no longer necessary to hide his identity, he didn't mind making a few more friends.

"Who knew that a Taoist could be so powerful!"

King Qingshan murmured a few words to himself, gave Xiao Mu a deep gaze, and mistook Xiao Mu the Daoist Cultivator for a Taoist.

Xiao Mu did not correct him.

"Everyone, seeing that the cave has been opened, let's seize the opportunity to enter as quickly as possible. It's better not to delay for too long in order to avoid any unexpected changes."

Grand Chan Master seized the opportunity to suggest.

No one voiced any objection. Hence, led by the Cang Wushi, everyone proceeded into the cave one after another.

"What is this?"

Xiao Mu, who was last in line, suddenly noticed something at the entrance of the cave. He bent down and picked it up.

Sizzle!

It was a drop of liquid emitting a foul aura, mixed with the evil aura. Clearly, it had needed to drip off a zombie, equivalent to human blood.

It was the blood of a zombie, also known as the Evil Blood.

How could this be?

Could that zombie be injured?

Was it injured by Dragon Warrior?

Just as this idea emerged, Xiao Mu quickly dismissed it.

With the power of Dragon Warrior, it was impossible to injure a zombie.

That zombie must have been injured elsewhere.

It's not the time to think about these things right now. He temporarily put aside these thoughts and moved forward with Grand Chan Master and the others.
