Divine Lucky Star-Chapter 180: The Mysterious Cave

Chapter 180 -180: The Mysterious Cave

Wang Hao walked while looking around, but after a while, he couldn’t find anything special. “This place is barren everywhere, can’t find a thing…” He continued for a bit and suddenly slapped his forehead, “Damn it, I was thinking all wrong. If there’s really a great hidden treasure it should be in a hidden cave or something, what the hell am I doing wandering around on flat ground…”

He went straight to the base of the cavern wall and started searching!

Fang Wenbin walked about two hundred meters from the cavern and didn’t find anything useful. When he proceeded further, he had reached the end of the cave. On his way there, he remembered what Wang Hao had said about always keeping a hand on the wall to avoid getting lost at any forks.

“It’s a dead end, nothing here,” Fang Wenbin shone his flashlight around. The cave was only about two meters high with no visible exits. “Let’s head back the way we came.”

Walking back the way he came, Fang Wenbin saw Wang Hao holding a Compass and muttering to himself, “To seek the dragon, divide the gold to find the entwined mountain. Each twist is a barrier…” Fang Wenbin thought to himself, “This Wang Hao really knows his stuff, but is it real or fake, can he really use the Gold Division and Positioning?”

Then he saw Wang Hao leisurely walk to a spot and randomly touch the wall…

And then Fang Wenbin was dumbstruck!

Because he saw Wang Hao casually touching the wall—without knowing what switch he hit—a loud rumble ensued, and an actual large cave appeared in the cavern wall!

“Holy shit!” Fang Wenbin’s eyes went wide, “Brother Hao is like a god! No wonder he can say so much, he has real skills! Truly legendary!”

At this point, Wang Hao in front of the cave was also staring with astonishment. “Holy shit, I’m really unbeatable today! I just randomly picked a direction, and I actually found a hidden cave!”

Since he found the target, Wang Hao naturally wouldn’t recklessly barge in.

After all, the situation was unclear. Who knew what might be inside if he entered without any equipment, and without it, escaping danger, if any, would be impossible.

“Let’s wait for everyone to come back, hehe,” Wang Hao retreated the way he had come and soon after met up with Fang Wenbin. Wang Hao asked, “Fang, did you find anything?”

“Nothing, just a dead-end,” by this time Fang Wenbin looked at Wang Hao with obvious admiration. “Brother Hao, did you discover something?”

“Oh, I found a cave over there,” Wang Hao casually pointed in the direction of where he found the cave, “Let’s get ready for an exploration when everyone is back.”

“Alright,” Fang Wenbin agreed quickly, “then we’ll just wait.”

Just then Bai Yaning approached and asked softly, “Wang Hao, did you just find a cave there?”

“Yes,” Wang Hao nodded, “But the situation is unclear so I didn’t dare to go in directly. We’ll arrange things when everyone is back, then go for an exploration.”

They didn’t have to wait long before Zhao Zhenhao also came back, shaking his head, “Dead-end, nothing there.”

Then after a while, Li Mingzhe returned too: “Didn’t find anything.”

Only Jiang Feng hadn’t yet come back, and Wang Hao said, “Jiang Feng must have found something, otherwise, we can’t explain the source of the wind.”

Everyone nodded together, “Makes sense!”

Sure enough, after a short while, Wang Hao saw Jiang Feng walking out from the cave, but unlike when he went in, Jiang Feng was now ashen-faced, whether from something he had seen, his expression seemed frozen in terror, speechless.

What the hell was so frightening?

“What’s wrong?” Everyone rushed over, and Wang Hao comforted him, “What did you see? Don’t be scared, we’re all here!”

“Huff… Huff…” Jiang Feng gasped for air and after a while finally stuttered out, “Ahead… there’s an entrance, inside… lots of bones! White bones! Human!”

What the hell does that mean?

Wang Hao and the others exchanged glances, nodding together, “Let’s go have a look!”

The seven of them took their flashlights and carefully followed Jiang Feng back into the cave he had entered.

The cavern was quite spacious, roughly two and a half meters wide, and the air was very fresh. After about two hundred meters, the space suddenly opened up. They shone their flashlights ahead and as soon as they saw clearly what was there, Duan Yunyun screamed sharply!

Bai Yaning also wrapped her arms tightly around Wang Hao’s arm, her body trembling.

On the ground, there were a dozen or so white skeletons lying in disarray. The clothes on these skeletons had rotted away, with many still holding tools in their bony hands.

“Ugh!” Zhao Zhenhao, who was a bit of a clean freak, couldn’t stand the sight of so many bones and immediately vomited. It seemed everything he had eaten before was in vain…

The air was filled with a faint stench of decay. Wang Hao looked around and saw that they were in a secret chamber with no doors, but there was a dark hole in the ceiling that occasionally allowed fresh air to seep in.

“Hao… Brother Hao,” Fang Wenbin said with a cold sweat beading on his forehead, whispering, “Can we figure out anything from… from the bodies?”

“Often, a body can provide a lot of information,” Wang Hao took out a military shovel and signaled everyone to keep their distance. He then put on a mask, goggles, and helmet, securing the searchlight on top of the helmet before moving forward, “Stay alert and don’t spread out. I’ll check what’s going on.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, “Okay…”

Wang Hao approached one of the skeletons and used the shovel to sift through the remains, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The flesh on the skeleton had completely decomposed, and the clothes were nearly gone, turning to dust at the touch. However, from the style of the clothes, it was obvious they were from ancient times. The long hair still attached to the skull also indicated the remains were quite ancient.

Wang Hao sifted through the remains carefully for a while but discovered no clues. Then, he moved on to the next…

He inspected them for quite some time, and when he started examining the eighth skeleton, he suddenly exclaimed with delight, “Haha, I found something!”

The group, curious, asked, “What did you find?”

“It seems these skeletons are indeed quite ancient,” Wang Hao smiled, then pulled an item from the belongings next to the skeleton, wiping it clean with a cloth and saying, “Come and see what this is!”

The group gathered around, Fang Wenbin fighting his discomfort, asking, “Let me see what it is.”

He took the item Wang Hao handed to him and after just one glance he cried out, “This… this is…” It was a seal, but what mattered was the two characters “Faqiu” carved on it in Xiaozhuan script!

The Faqiu Seal!

“Is this the Faqiu Seal?!” Fang Wenbin exclaimed, “The General’s seal of Faqiu?!”

“It looks like it,” Wang Hao took a deep breath, “Remember what I said before? Generals with the title Faqiu practically disappeared after the Song Dynasty. So, the time of this person’s death should be before the Song Dynasty! This tomb is extraordinary!”

First, this cave was indeed a grave, as indicated by the hidden cavern Wang Hao had previously found.

Second, the tomb must date from before the Song Dynasty, ancient enough.

Third, the tomb had not been plundered! There were definitely treasures inside!

“Brother Hao, it seems like we’re on to a big discovery this time,” Zhao Zhenhao had recovered somewhat and said, “If we unearth the items here, wouldn’t that mean…”

“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” Wang Hao chuckled, “Let’s go. Since there’s nothing left here, we should explore that hidden cave I found earlier! Let’s see what’s actually inside this tomb!”

Everyone headed back the way they came.

When the group stood before the hidden cavern, Wang Hao took a deep breath, then gently grabbed Bai Yaning’s hand, whispering a word of caution, “Remember not to stray from me. This place could be more complicated than we think, and it would be troublesome if we got lost.”

Bai Yaning gave him a gentle smile, nodding her head, “Yes, I understand,” squeezing his hand tighter…

After making all preparations, each person tied a rope around their waist as a lifeline. With Wang Hao leading the way, they descended into the hole for an adventure!
