"After two hours, Han Li stood on a black boulder about half a person high, gazing at the cave entrance not far away. 'Is this the cave?' he muttered to himself.
"It doesn't look particularly special,' Han Li remarked, observing the surroundings carefully before approaching the cave entrance. Although time was tight, he couldn't afford to be reckless and put himself in danger!
"The secret cave described in the information appeared inconspicuous from the outside, similar to several wild mountain caves Han Li had encountered on the way, with nothing eye-catching about it. He couldn't help but admire how the person who discovered it initially managed to find it!
"After a cup of tea's time, Han Li made sure that there were no demonic beasts or ambushes nearby before cautiously approaching the cave entrance.
"The cave entrance was entirely natural, made of light blue mountain rocks with no traces of artificial drilling. After Han Li entered the cave, he glanced at the cave walls on both sides and concluded that there were no signs of human activity.
"Then, Han Li's figure flashed, and he stealthily disappeared into the cave. However, after just a dozen steps, Han Li stopped again because the area ahead had become pitch black after passing a couple of corners.
"Furrowing his brows, Han Li reached into his storage bag and retrieved a moonstone the size of an egg. As soon as the moonstone appeared, its soft white light illuminated the surroundings clearly, forcing Han Li to shake his head helplessly.
"His original intention was to silently infiltrate the depths of the cave to see if there were any demonic beasts lurking there. If there were, he planned to quietly deal a fatal blow to save himself the trouble. But now that the moonstone had appeared, he had become an obvious target, making it impossible to ambush!
"With one hand lightly supporting the white misty moonstone, Han Li hesitated for a moment before using his other hand to cast an earth attribute shield on himself. Only then did he continue forward cautiously, one step at a time.
"The cave was very narrow and long. After walking for half an hour, Han Li still hadn't seen any signs of reaching the end. This made him start to doubt whether he had come to the right place, fearing that he might have stumbled upon the lair of some top-tier demonic beast!
"Fortunately, after walking dozens of yards further and turning a big corner, his worries were finally dispelled. Because from that corner, several faint white lights could be seen, indicating that the target was right in front of him.
"Seeing this, Han Li felt relieved and quickly put away the moonstone in his hand, silently sneaking towards the direction of the light. Since there was already light here, and it was located at a corner, it seemed that his original plan could still be carried out!
"When the cautious Han Li cautiously peeked around the corner, the scene in front of him initially brought him joy, but then he couldn't help but feel bitter.
"In front of him was indeed the end of the cave, a spacious natural stone hall with many sparkling stalactites and several light blue flowers with three or four leaves each growing on a small purple stone wall in the farthest corner.
"These small flowers were the size of an inch, and their petals curled strangely in the same direction, forming a unique shape resembling several funny little monkeys hanging there, truly astonishing!
"'There's no need to ask, these must be "Purple Monkey Flowers,"' Han Li thought with excitement upon seeing the flowers.
"But when his gaze turned to the ground below the purple stone wall, Han Li's expression turned bitter. There, a giant centipede several feet long was lurking. Seeing its shiny black carapace and long antennae, Han Li's heart was filled with fear before he even made a move.
