Chapter 711: New Direction after a Difficult Decision

In the mysterious cave, Qin Feng and others were faced with a difficult decision: should they continue to look for the key to open the treasure chest, or give up the treasure chest and leave the cave? This question made everyone entangled.

Qin Feng stood next to the treasure chest, brows furrowed, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

"Oh my, this is really a headache. What should I do?" Qin Feng said to himself.

Ye Li was also thinking at the side, and said: "If I continue to look for the key, I don't know how many dangers I will face. But if I give up like this, it would be a pity."

Chu Tianze looked deep into the cave and said, "We can't waste too much time here. There are still many unknown dangers waiting for us outside."

Zhang Meng said carelessly: "What are you afraid of? Just keep looking. You may find the key in the next second."

Qin Feng glared at Zhang Meng and said, "Can't you use your brain? This is not a joke. We have to think carefully before making a decision."

Everyone started to discuss and express their opinions. Some students thought that they should continue to look for the key, after all, the treasure chest might contain important clues; while others thought that they should leave the cave as soon as possible to avoid more danger.

"I think we should continue looking for the key. We have come this far, we can't give up easily." said a student.

"But it's too dangerous here. We've already encountered many monsters and traps. If we continue, there might be even greater dangers." Another student retorted.

After arguing for a long time, no unified conclusion was reached. Qin Feng felt very helpless. He knew that this decision was not easy to make, but he had to make a choice as soon as possible.

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, the mysterious creature appeared again. It flapped its wings gently, emitting a soft light.

"Look, the mysterious creature is coming. Is it here to give us directions?" a student said excitedly.

Qin Feng and the others immediately looked at the mysterious creature, hoping it could give them some clues. The mysterious creature flew around the treasure chest and then stopped at one place.

"What is it telling us?" Ye Li asked puzzledly.

Qin Feng carefully observed the place where the mysterious creature stayed and found a strange symbol there. He walked forward and gently touched the symbol with his hand.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the symbol, illuminating the entire cave. Then, a voice sounded in their minds.

“Brave explorers, your choice is crucial. There are indeed important clues hidden in the treasure chest, but the key to open it is not here. You need to keep moving forward to find the real key.”

Hearing this voice, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect the mysterious creature to give them a hint in this way.

"So that's how it is. Then let's leave here quickly and continue looking for the key." Zhang Meng said.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "It seems that our choice is correct. The mysterious creature has pointed out the direction for us, and we cannot let it down."

They decided to leave the cave and continue looking for the key. Before leaving, they carefully observed the environment of the cave, hoping to find some useful clues.

"This cave looks very old, maybe it has other secrets. Let's explore it again when we have the chance." Chu Tian said.

Everyone walked out of the cave and returned to other areas of the mysterious land. They began to look for the real key according to the clues of the mysterious creature.

Along the way, they encountered various challenges, including steep mountains to climb, turbulent rivers to cross, and mysterious forests filled with various dangerous spirit beasts.

"This road is really difficult to walk on. It feels more difficult than our previous expeditions." A student complained.

"Stop complaining, think about our goal, this little difficulty is nothing." said another student.

While climbing a mountain, they encountered a huge soul beast. This soul beast looked like a lion, but it had wings and exuded powerful soul power.

"Wow, what kind of monster is this? It looks so weird." Zhang Meng said in surprise.

"Don't worry about what it looks like, just prepare for a fight." Qin Feng shouted.

Everyone immediately used their martial arts skills to prepare for the soul beast's attack. The soul beast was very ferocious and pounced towards them.

"Look at my fire attack!" A student displayed a powerful fire martial soul skill and rushed towards the soul beast.

But the soul beast easily avoided the attack, and then fanned out a gust of wind with its wings, blowing them all over the place.

"This monster is so powerful. Everyone be careful!" Chu Tian shouted.

Everyone dodged the soul beast's attacks while looking for its weaknesses. During the battle, they found that the soul beast's eyes seemed very sensitive.

"Attack its eyes!" Qin Feng shouted.

Everyone launched precise attacks and hit the soul beast's eyes. After being hit, the soul beast let out a painful cry and began to flee in all directions.

"Haha, we won. This monster is nothing special." Zhang Meng said proudly.

Qin Feng said seriously: "Don't get carried away. We don't know how many dangers are waiting for us."

They continued to move forward and finally came to a mysterious valley. A strong soul power fluctuation filled the valley, making people feel an invisible pressure.

"This place looks so dangerous. Should we go in?" a student said worriedly.

Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "We can't retreat. The mysterious creature said the key is here, we must go in and look for it."

They walked into the valley carefully. The valley was very quiet, with only some strange sounds echoing. Deep in the valley, they found an ancient ruin.

"This ruins looks so spectacular. Could it be that the key we are looking for is inside?" Ye Li said.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "It's possible. Let's be careful and go in and take a look."

They walked into the ruins, which were full of various mysterious devices and symbols. They began to explore the ruins carefully, hoping to find clues to the key.

In a corner of the ruins, they found an ancient book, which exuded a mysterious atmosphere, and people knew it was not simple at first glance.

"This book must contain some secrets. Let's take a look at it quickly." Chu Tian said.

They opened the book, which recorded some history and legends about the mysterious place. On the last page of the book, they found a clue about the key.

"It turns out that the key is in the deepest part of the ruins. Let's go find it quickly." A student said excitedly.

Qin Feng and others immediately walked towards the deepest part of the ruins. In the process, they encountered some traps and monsters, but they overcame them one by one.

Finally, they came to the deepest part of the ruins, where there was a huge stone door with strange symbols and patterns carved on it.

"Is this where the key is hidden? How do we open this door?" Ye Li said.

Qin Feng observed the stone door carefully and said, "We have to find a way to open the stone door before we can get the key. Let's think of a solution together."

They began to look for clues around the stone gate. After some effort, they finally found a hidden mechanism.

"Look, there is a button here. It might be the key to opening the stone door." said a student.

Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "Be careful, don't press the button easily. We don't know what consequences this button will cause."

They continued to observe the stone gate and the surrounding environment, trying to find more clues. In the process, they found that the symbols and patterns on the stone gate seemed to be related to some of the symbols and patterns they had seen before.

"Could these symbols and patterns be the password to open the stone door?" Chu Tian said.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "It's possible. Let's recall all the symbols and patterns we saw before and see if we can find a pattern."

They began to recall the symbols and patterns they had seen before, and after some effort, they finally found a way to open the stone door. The stone door slowly opened, revealing a glittering key.

"Haha, we found it. Now we can open the treasure chest." Zhang Meng said excitedly.

Qin Feng and others were also very happy. They carefully picked up the keys and prepared to leave the ruins.

In this mysterious place full of challenges and mysteries, Qin Feng and others finally found the key to open the treasure chest. They don't know what surprises are waiting for them in the treasure chest, but they know that this is just a new beginning of their exploration journey. They will continue to move forward and work hard to protect the peace of the martial arts world.
