“Ding— ”

A crisp metallic collision sounded in the silent and gloomy cave.

“The eighth one…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qin Lang received the gold coin that had flown to him under the control of Dan Bao’s thought waves, and heaved a sigh of relief.

The organizers had indeed gone great lengths. At every hiding place of the gold coin, they had set up a variety of scary props. If it were not for Dan Bao’s thought power control that could fetch the gold coin without triggering the traps, exploring this dark cave would be unbearable.

Looking at the blocked path ahead, Qin Lang shrugged, “We can go back the same way and try our luck at the next fork.”

This was when the markers they made on their way in became essential.

The two little creatures hurriedly followed Qin Lang’s steps, vigilantly glancing around.

After being scared several times, they now felt a sense of tension as if they were in a battleground.

“Don’t be afraid, there are footprints from our way in on the ground. We won’t encounter any problems if we follow them,” Qin Lang comforted, a curious look crossing his face.

“I wonder how many gold coins the other competitors have gotten?”

“Chirp, are you ready?”

In another location far from Qin Lang in the cave, Zhao Wenchang pointed a flashlight beam at a glimmer of gold on a fissure in the cliff, his face showing a serious expression.

“Chirp-”

By his side, a golden Food Spirit with a beaky face, and a pair of little wings on its round body, nodded its head seriously.

“Three… two…”

Zhao Wenchang began counting down.

“One, go!”

Zhao Wenchang, who had been ready, ran quickly towards the direction of the glimmer.

The Food Spirit, Chirp, flew high up, and exploded into a burst of platinum light the next moment. It was like a miniature sun appearing on the top of the cave.

Combat Skill: Light Shatter!

This was a nature-based combat skill that could instantly dispel fog, camouflage, and other effects. At this moment, its usage was more direct—it served as a light source.

Under this intense platinum light, every hidden thing in the dark was revealed. The hidden traps, which were usually difficult to detect, were no exception.

Zhao Wenchang observed his surroundings by the light, stepping over a fine line that was hard to detect. He then reached out and, after avoiding several similar lines, easily got the gold coin.

“Success!”

Upon getting the gold coin, Zhao Wenchang retreated a few steps. Chirp in the air quickly dispersed its light and returned to his side.

Maintaining combat skills of such a large range consumed a lot of spiritual power.

“That’s the sixth one, keep it up!” Zhao Wenchang held Chirp in his arms and the flashlight in his hand, continuing to walk towards the unexplored area of the cave.

“Bang Bang, Electromagnetic Traction!”

In another location in the cave, a young girl wearing a duckbill hat swung her hand dramatically in one direction. It was as if what she was holding wasn’t a flashlight, but a battle flag.

“Boom!”

A cute Food Spirit with shining purple patterns on its body roared. Streams of electricity danced around its plump body, generating an invisible magnetic field.

“Crack…crack…”

Several subtle noises came from all around them.

The next moment, similar electric arcs appeared in the darkness and began to flicker as if in response to the Food Spirit performing the combat skill.

Combat Skill: Electromagnetic Traction.

This nature-based combat skill was able to create an electromagnetic field around the Food Spirit that could detect its surroundings and imprint targets within the field with electric arcs. This could act as a marker and cause slight paralysis.

“Well done!” The girl’s eyes lit up instantly. “Sha Luo, Rapid-fire Touch!”

“Ssss!”

Another Food Spirit, with a sandy-colored body, roared by the girl’s side. At high speed, three slender tentacles shot out from its body, pointing to the three spots flickering with electric arcs. It then swiftly wound them up and retracted.

The triggered traps were too late to affect the girl and her Wo Food Spirits. “Three gold coins in the bag!” After storing the gold coins, the girl shouted, “We’ve got eleven gold coins now!”

The two Food Spirits at her side cheered in unison, expressing their excitement.

“As a descendant of the ‘Brave One’ Chou Chen, I, Chou Yun Er, will prove with my skill that I am the most formidable explorer!” The girl’s face brimmed with confidence, “And it starts with winning First Place in the Brave One’s Cup!” “New generation of beautiful young adventurers, set off!”

The girl, holding her flashlight, ran a few steps ahead and then tumbled.

“Ouch!”

An hour later.

“We should go southwest…” Qin Lang took out the compass provided by the organizer and had a look at it using the flashlight, “The exit is in that direction.”

“Decided then! We’ll take this fork!” He quickly chose the fork closest to the southwest from the three in front of him.

“Gurgle!”

Let’s collect more gold coins!

Dan Bao called out loudly.

“Cackle!”

I’ll lead the way!

Spicy responded enthusiastically.

As time passed, the two little creatures grew accustomed to the dark environment, they were less afraid of the cave, and their courage grew as well.

Dan Bao’s thought waves could get the gold coin from a distance without triggering the traps, while Spicy’s instant teleportation could allow him to escape unscathed after triggering the traps.

Once the two have gotten the hang of the process, the efficiency of collecting gold coins had significantly improved.

During the three-hour competition period, one man and two spirits obtained a total of fifty-four gold coins. The heavy gold coins were put in a small bag that Qin Lang held in his hand.

“There’s one over there.”

Upon entering the fork, Qin Lang’s flashlight swept around, and it quickly picked up the metallic glint once again.

“Cackle!”

Spicy dashed forward in a flash, grabbed the gold coin, quickly teleported back to avoid the triggered dummy trap, and handed the gold coin to Qin Lang.

Their actions had become so deft that the hovering light bubbles couldn’t react. “Well done!” Qin Lang patted Spicy’s head.

While he was proud of Spicy’s proficiency in teleportation, what pleased Qin Lang more was that the little guy had become braver during the exploration. “Fifty-five, let’s keep moving!”

With flashlight in hand, Qin Lang and the two little ones continued forward.

Fifty-six…

Fifty-seven…

Upon receiving the fifty-eighth gold coin manipulated by thought waves, Qin Lang looked around, “Does it seem a bit brighter in the cave?”

He turned off his flashlight, and the faint natural light in the cave became more noticeable.

This was not an illusion; there was indeed light!

This meant they were very close to the exit!

The two little creatures glanced at each other, their faces filled with excitement.

Finally, they reached the exit!

“It’s that way!” After determining the direction with more light, Qin Lang turned on the flashlight again and quickened his pace.

After walking a dozen meters in the winding cave passage, the light shone on his face.

Outside the large opening was the endpoint of the adventure race.

“Congratulations to Player Qin Lang, the seventh one to exit Adventurer’s Cave!”
