The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 1592 Accident, Arrival

Matthew's gaze lingered on the debris on the ground for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.

The Phantom Armor had saved him from danger countless times at life-and-death moments, but now it had become like this, scattered into countless pieces.

However, now is not the time to indulge in memories and pain, the snake-man monster before him is still a huge threat.

The snake monster flashed past the earth spear. Matthew tightly grasped the Hunyuan Wuchan Sword in his hand, his eyes becoming sharper.

The snake-man monster reappeared, with a fierce light flashing in its eyes.

Its scales shone coldly in the dim light, and its mouth spit out scarlet tongue, like an evil ghost.

Just as the snake monster pulled out its earth spear and prepared to attack Matthew again, the entire cave suddenly shook violently without any warning.

Matthew could barely stand, his feet slipped on the ground and he nearly fell.

The cave was already riddled with holes due to their previous battle, and the shaking now made it seem even more precarious.

The stones above began to loosen, and some larger stones fell down with dull thumping sounds.

Matthew quickly dodged and looked up, discovering that a long crack had appeared above the cave. Small pieces of gravel kept falling from the crack, making a rustling sound.

"Haha, I can finally leave this damn place!" The snake monster suddenly laughed wildly, his voice full of pride and relief.

It leaped suddenly, ignoring Matthew and flew directly towards the crack above.

Matthew was astonished as he watched the snake monster disappear into the crack.

They were fighting to the death just now, but in the blink of an eye, because of the appearance of this crack.

The snake monster actually gave up fighting with him and left so easily.

This was the first time Matthew encountered such a situation.

At this moment, there was a slight vibration under Matthew's feet.

He looked down and found a long crack on the ground.

The crack expanded rapidly, like a huge mouth that was about to swallow him.

Matthew stepped forward and his body immediately floated up.

His eyes kept moving back and forth between the crack above and the crack below.

Finally, he set his gaze on the crack below.

Matthew took a deep breath and without hesitation, released dozens of light balls, illuminating the situation inside the crack, and then immediately jumped into the crack under his feet.

When he entered the crack, the ball of light inside gradually disappeared.

The inside of the crack was pitch black, with only faint light shining through the gap, making it look eerie and strange.

Matthew's body continued to fall in the crack, and all he could hear was the whistling sound of the wind.

Suddenly, Matthew felt a fulcrum under his feet. He quickly adjusted his body and landed steadily on a narrow platform.

The moment he landed, Matthew immediately released a ball of light to illuminate the surroundings.

The surrounding rock walls were rough and hard, and the air was filled with a damp, musty smell.

Matthew collected himself and looked around quickly.

There are no holes or other passages around to exit.

Helpless, Matthew could only continue jumping towards the bottom of the crack.

In fact, he was not sure whether the cave he was looking for was there.

But he had no choice. He had already observed the cave above and found no way to leave.

Otherwise, the snake monster would not have been able to leave immediately when the crack appeared.

From the actions of the snake monster, he knew that the crack above was the exit from this place.

But he naturally couldn't just leave like that since he hadn't found Xingyan and Yueru.

As he continued to fall, Matthew was always observing the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, Matthew felt a foothold under his feet again. He quickly adjusted his body and landed steadily on a platform again.

This time the platform is more spacious than the previous one, and the light around it is slightly brighter.

Matthew released more balls of light, illuminating the entire platform.

Under the illumination of the light ball, Matthew discovered a hidden hole at the other end of the platform.

The entrance to the cave was covered in dense black vines, making it almost unnoticeable.

Matthew was delighted when he saw this, as this was the only hole he had seen so far.

As for whether it leads to that cave, we can only know by entering it.

With a flick of his finger, several sword energies shot out, cutting off all the black vines covering the cave entrance.

After the vines were cut off, a narrow passage was revealed.

Matthew entered the passage without hesitation and continued to explore forward.

The passage was winding and filled with a strange atmosphere.

Fortunately, the passage is not very long.

There were no accidents inside.

At the end of the passage, an old stone door stands quietly.

The stone gate is made of yellow stone, and time has left mottled marks on its surface.

There are some strange pictures carved on the stone gate. They look like half-human, half-snake monsters with unclear postures, as if they are performing some mysterious ritual.

There was a damp smell in the air, as if one could smell the dust accumulated on the stones over the years.

There was silence all around, with only the occasional sound of dripping water echoing in the passage.

Matthew looked quietly at the stone door in front of him, thinking that he might have come to the right place.

The cave previously seen through the purple halo may be inside here.

However, this stone door is obviously not so easy to open.

Matthew could feel the strong aura of restriction emanating from the stone gate.

Matthew took a deep breath and decided to try to split the stone door with the Hunyuan Wuchan Sword.

He poured all his magic power into the sword, swung it violently, and the sword light was like a flash of lightning, striking straight at the stone gate.

However, the restriction on the stone gate only shook slightly, and then returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

"It seems that there is a defensive restriction on this door, not an offensive restriction."

Matthew frowned, thinking to himself.

After trying several times in a row, the Hunyuan Black Toad Sword did not cause any damage to the stone gate.

So, he took out the Earth-Splitting Hammer.

Matthew held the Earth-Splitting Hammer in both hands and smashed it at the stone door with all his strength.

The force of the hammering made the entire passage tremble, but the stone door remained motionless and the restrictions were still intact.

Matthew's brows furrowed even more tightly; the hardness of this stone door was far beyond his expectations.

Even the Earth-Splitting Hammer couldn't damage it.

When he tried to break the door, two urgent thoughts suddenly came to his mind.

This was sent out by Xingyan and Yueru at the same time.

Obviously, the two girls already knew that he was breaking the door at this moment.

After feeling the gratitude conveyed by the two women, Matthew continued to swing the earth-splitting hammer at the stone door.
