Chapter 1294: The Grim Demon Cave
"Brother Ye, over here!"
It was deep into the night, but within the Columbia Jungle, two figures were swiftly running!
Zhang Yun was leading the way with Ye Feng closely following her!
In the jungle, the cries of insects and beasts were eerie, but the two of them kept moving swiftly through the grass and shrubs!
Ye Feng's face was filled with joy as he had already learned from Zhang Yun about Ling Shaofeng's whereabouts. Although Ling Shaofeng was currently in danger, he was at least alive!
After the two had traversed several miles through the jungle, Ye Feng asked Zhang Yun:
"Zhang Yun, what exactly is that Demon Cave? How could even the King of Killers not open it?"
Although Ye Feng didn't know the true strength of the King of Killers, with his reputation, his power must be extremely formidable!
Even so, Ye Feng had heard that the King of Killers couldn't open the Demon Cave on his own and didn't even dare to get near its location!
Zhang Yun's face was flushed, covered in sweat, but her eyebrows were filled with hope. She explained as she ran:
"I don't know what's inside that Demon Cave either. I've only heard Shaofeng say that it's been there for countless years and that the Black Cross Training Camp declared it a forbidden zone that no one, not even the King of Killers himself, could approach!"
At this point, Zhang Yun's face showed deep fear and worry:
"And the strangest part is that the entrance is blocked by stones, and there is a Stone Gate inside. This Stone Gate only opens automatically once a month, and the people from the Black Cross Training Camp would toss blood sacrifices inside when it opens. It's said to be for offering to a God!"
"Offering to a God?"
Ye Feng was taken aback and then furrowed his brows. He didn't believe in gods; those were mere products of idealism:
"What are blood sacrifices?"
"Blood sacrifices are... are..." Zhang Yun stopped her steps, her face pale, stammering:
"It's actually people! Shaofeng is the blood sacrifice!"
What!!!
Ye Feng's expression changed drastically, didn't that mean Ling Shaofeng was imprisoned in the Demon Cave as food for some unknown entity!
With this thought, a murderous glint flashed in Ye Feng's eyes!
Zhang Yun's tearful eyes were red, tears falling down her face:
"The people from the Black Cross Training Camp used to capture their enemies or adventurers who ventured into the Columbia Jungle without permission! They would gouge out their eyes on the day the Stone Gate opened and then throw them into the Demon Cave!"
"Has anyone ever come out of it?" Ye Feng quickly asked.
"No..."
Zhang Yun shook her head, her tears pouring down like rain as if the place filled her with immense fear:
"No one has ever come out. All those thrown into the Demon Cave would scream for three days and then perish inside! No one knows what's inside or what happens inside!"
"Damn!"
Ye Feng's face was ashen; it was the first time he had heard of such a bizarre Demon Cave!
Soon, as the two of them continued advancing rapidly while talking, they approached the vicinity of the Demon Cave!
At this moment, Ye Feng was startled to find that there wasn't a single living thing around!
No leopards, no sloths, no anteaters, no animals at all!
This place seemed like a wasteland, with not a single sound of insects to be heard!
Only silence!
Dead silence!
This feeling was suffocating, making one's heart pound wildly, an instinctive sense of danger making Ye Feng's hair stand on end!
"What kind of hellish place is this?"
Ye Feng couldn't believe it. It was scarier than those notorious dangerous places around the world, especially at night. The closer they got to the Demon Cave, the more it felt like a monstrous beast was ready to devour them!
Zhang Yun was trembling with fear, her face as pale as paper!
She could approach the Demon Cave in the daytime, but not at all at night!
Even the King of Killers dared not come close!
Seeing Zhang Yun's trembling and terrified appearance, Ye Feng immediately said:
"Wait here, I'll go!"
"No!!!"
Zhang Yun shook her head repeatedly, her face resolute:
"Brother Ye, I'm going with you! Shaofeng is in this situation because of me, and even if I die, I want to die with him!"
Zhang Yun's face was full of sorrow, revealing her resolve to face death!
Witnessing this scene, Ye Feng felt happy for Ling Shaofeng. Having such a girlfriend meant Ling Shaofeng was blessed for life!
Ye Feng nodded:
"Alright, let's go!"
After saying this, the two of them proceeded!
The night was deep, so dark that one could not see their fingers in front of them. As they exited the jungle, a small mountain appeared ahead, resembling a gigantic beast, which was terrifying!
Ye Feng then saw at the top of the mountain an entrance blocked by a pile of rocks!
The two of them quickly climbed the mountain and arrived at the entrance!
Within moments, Ye Feng moved all the rocks away from the entrance, revealing a Stone Gate before them!
This Stone Gate was pitch black, not seeming like it was made out of stone. Especially after Ye Feng inspected the material of the Stone Gate, his face turned incredibly grim!
The material of this Stone Gate was identical to that of the Stone Coffin in the New York Technology Museum!
Ye Feng remembered vividly the eerie Stone Coffin in the New York Technology Museum that nearly took his and the old man's lives!
Ye Feng then took out the Super Strong Tungsten Steel Sword from his embrace, with a flick, the sword sprung out, its edge extremely sharp!
He then hacked at the Stone Gate with the Super Strong Tungsten Steel Sword, producing a 'ding ding' sound with sparks flying!
The strange thing was that the Super Strong Tungsten Steel Sword could not scratch the Stone Gate at all, not even leaving a mark!
"Just as I thought!"
Ye Feng's face was extremely grim, his eyes flickered momentarily, then he gathered his energy and strength and punched the Stone Gate!
Bang!!!
This punch from Ye Feng was of his utmost effort, enough to shatter a super strong titanium alloy steel plate thoroughly!
Nonetheless, the Stone Gate remained unmoved!
Seeing this moment, Ye Feng's face immediately turned extremely grim!
"Brother Ye, what do we do now? Shaofeng hasn't even made a sound; I'm afraid... he's..."
Zhang Yun was crying anxiously; she hadn't expected even Ye Feng couldn't open the Stone Gate!
Ye Feng inspected around the Stone Gate once more. If the surroundings were of ordinary stone, Ye Feng might have had a solution!
But after looking around, he found that the surroundings weren't ordinary stone, but the same pitch-black special material, making opening the Stone Gate utterly impossible!
With a difficult and thoughtful expression, Ye Feng suddenly brightened, and then he placed his fingers in his mouth, instantly letting out a whistle!
Whir!!!
As the whistle echoed from the mountain into the jungle, a buzzing sound soon rang out, followed by a mass of pitch-black mist flying out of the jungle like lightning!
