The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2254 A terrible conjecture

"We are at the same level... but even if you four join forces, you can't hurt me at all..."

Matthew murmured softly, his brows furrowed, but an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

His fingers drummed unconsciously on his knee, his mind racing, trying to make sense of the situation.

Suzaku's words were like a huge rock, pressing on his heart, making him feel heavier than ever before.

"Could it be that Mo Tu has escaped?"

This was the first thought that came to Matthew's mind after hearing Suzaku's words.

The terrifying existence emerged in his mind, Mo Tu, an ancient demon that once ravaged the world and slaughtered countless people.

If it is really Mo Tu who escapes, the consequences will be disastrous.

"If it is really Mo Tu who escaped and entered this place, then things will be bad."

Matthew pondered in his heart, his expression becoming more serious.

The senior had just fallen into a deep sleep and would not be able to wake up in a short period of time, and he really did not want to cooperate with Wu Kun again.

Otherwise, we will not only have to worry about Mo Tu, but also be wary of Wu Kun.

After all, if the old man Ziding was not there, it would be difficult for Matthew to detect Wu Kun's little movements.

He didn't believe that Wu Kun had really given up on him completely. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, Wu Kun would definitely find a way to take over his body.

For a moment, Matthew felt caught between a rock and a hard place.

"Should I discuss this with Wu Kun..."

Matthew kept thinking and weighing various possibilities.

Although he was conflicted, Matthew rejected the idea in his heart.

Seeing the sadness on Matthew's face after he finished speaking, Suzaku didn't know what he was thinking. He felt uneasy and didn't dare to say anything else.

She just sat there quietly, glancing at Matthew from time to time, trying to read some information from his expression.

However, Matthew's expression was gloomy and uncertain, making her unable to predict.

The passage suddenly became extremely quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind coming from a distance, as if whispering some unknown secret.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the air, as if even time had frozen at this moment.

After a while, Matthew finally broke the silence by speaking: "Since that monster is so powerful, how did you escape?"

His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of fatigue that was difficult to conceal.

When Zhuque heard Matthew's question, he was slightly stunned, then shook his head, trying to make himself more awake.

Her voice was still weak, but there was a hint of doubt in her tone: "We also find this matter a bit strange. Although the monster is extremely powerful, it seems to have little intelligence. It attacked ruthlessly and seriously injured us, but when it saw us running away, it did not chase us. It seemed to be looking for something when it entered, and it seems that it is not very familiar with the inside."

Matthew frowned even more tightly when he heard this.

He lowered his head in thought, tapping the ground lightly with his fingers, making a slight "tapping" sound.

Zhuque's words made him even more confused. If the monster was really Motu, with its strength and ferocity, it would never let Zhuque and the others go easily.

However, Suzaku's description is very different from Motu's image.

"No mind...looking for something..."

Matthew repeated Suzaku's words in a low voice, various possibilities running through his mind.

He suddenly thought that perhaps the monster was not Mo Tu, but some other unknown existence.

After all, this world is vast and contains countless secrets, and no one can guarantee that there are no other powerful beings lurking in it.

It might even be some kind of mechanical beast in the core area.

"Did you see the monster clearly?"

Matthew raised his head and looked at Suzaku sharply, trying to find some clues from her answer.

Zhuque shook his head, a trace of bitterness on his face: "The monster was too fast, we didn't see its appearance clearly. I only remember that it was surrounded by a layer of black mist, as if it could swallow all light. The four of us attacked together, but we couldn't even break through its defense, and were instead severely injured by it."

Matthew felt even more heavy-hearted when he heard this.

He realized that whether the monster was Mo Tu or not, its strength was far beyond their imagination.

"We must find Baihu and Xuanwu as soon as possible and leave here."

Matthew's face was solemn, his voice was low and powerful, and his words were full of unquestionable determination.

He knew very well that their current situation was like teetering on the edge of a cliff. Every second of delay could cause danger to surge in like a tide and completely swallow them up.

Staying here any longer would undoubtedly be dancing with death. We must find the other two and then leave this place.

Suzaku forced himself to hold on to his weak body and nodded vigorously. A determined light flashed in his eyes, like a flame burning in the darkness: "I will recover my strength as soon as possible and act with you."

Although the voice was still weak, it revealed a spirit of not giving up.

Matthew looked at Suzaku and said nothing more. He just stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder gently. That action was full of comfort and encouragement, indicating that she should rest assured.

Then, the Azure Dragon bracelet on his wrist suddenly lit up with a soft green light, and the light spread out like water waves, slowly wrapping up the Vermillion Bird and storing it in the space inside the bracelet.

"You rest inside, I will find them both as soon as possible."

Matthew said softly, with a hint of promise in his voice, as if to give Suzaku some reassurance.

After Zhuque entered the Qinglong bracelet, Matthew took a deep breath, calmed himself, and walked out of this narrow and deep passage without hesitation.

The passage was filled with a damp and decaying smell, and strange fluorescent lights occasionally flashed on the walls, as if countless pairs of eyes were spying on him in the darkness.

Although Suzaku's injuries were lighter than Qinglong's, she was now as weak as a candle in the wind and could not provide any substantial help for the next action.

Matthew understood that at this moment he was carrying everyone's hopes, and the top priority was to find Baihu and Xuanwu as soon as possible.

Fortunately, through the restrictions he left in Baihu and Xuanwu's bodies, Matthew was able to sense their life signs and knew that neither of them had met with any accident.

He also firmly believed that the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise, as the kings of the exotic beasts, possessed extraordinary strength and tenacious vitality, and would never be defeated so easily.

After coming out of the passage, Matthew stepped into a huge oval cave.

There is a light mist in the cave, making the whole space look mysterious and hazy.

The ceiling of the cave is uneven, with stalactites of various shapes hanging on it. Some look like sharp daggers, and some look like upside-down bamboo shoots, flashing cold light in the faint light.

The ground is rugged and covered with stones and potholes of various sizes. You may fall if you are not careful.

Matthew moved forward cautiously, scanning his surroundings vigilantly, not missing any corner where danger might be hidden.

Although he learned a lot about the core area during the process of refining the two spiritual consciousnesses, the core area was too huge, like a mysterious maze. Even the two spiritual consciousnesses could not know every corner of the area.

And where he is now is the unknown territory, and every step is full of uncertainty and danger.
