Chapter 319: An Adventure in the Mysterious Valley
Liu Yu and his group continued on their journey, unknowingly entering a mysterious valley. The valley was surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, which seemed to have a life of their own, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, making them feel as if they were in a fairyland, yet also exuding an air of mystery and unpredictability.
"Brother-in-law, this place looks strange. Is there any danger?" Xiaoqing followed closely beside Liu Yu, her brows furrowed and her eyes full of worry.
Liu Yu patted his chest and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Even if there are demons or monsters, I will protect you."
Bai Suzhen laughed and said, "Look at how confident you are. Don't end up scaring yourself so much that we have to come and save you."
Liu Yu scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Wife, please don't tease me. How could I?"
Xu Xian walked cautiously to the side, his eyes constantly darting around, muttering to himself, "We'd better be careful, better be careful."
As they were talking, a burst of laughter suddenly echoed through the valley. The laughter seemed to come from near and far, leaving everyone puzzled.
Everyone was startled and immediately stopped in their tracks, looking around nervously.
Suddenly, a little old man jumped out from behind a big tree. The little old man was short, with gray hair and a face covered with wrinkles, but his eyes showed a cleverness.
"Haha, you bunch of guys have trespassed on my territory!" the old man said with a grin, hands on his hips, looking quite smug.
Liu Yu stepped forward and politely asked, "Sir, is this your territory?"
The old man nodded vigorously: "That's right, I am the owner of this valley, and every blade of grass and every tree here belongs to me. You entered without permission, so you have to give me an explanation."
Xiaoqing said, "We were just passing by and had no intention of offending you. We hope you will be magnanimous and let us pass."
The old man's eyes darted around, and a sly smile appeared on his face: "That won't do. Either play a game with me, or you're not leaving."
Pigsy muttered, "This old man is really troublesome! I, Pigsy, am in a hurry to get on my way."
Liu Yu thought for a moment and decided it wouldn't hurt to play along, so she said, "Okay, what game do you want to play?"
The old man chuckled and clapped his hands: "Let's have a magic contest. Whoever has the stronger magic will win."
Having said that, the old man cast a spell first. With a wave of his hands and some incantations, he instantly conjured a group of dancing monkeys. These monkeys, dressed in brightly colored clothes, hopped and jumped around in front of the crowd, making all sorts of comical movements, which was quite amusing.
Xiaoqing couldn't help but laugh: "What kind of magic is this? All it can do is conjure up these funny things."
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Then I'll try too." He closed his eyes, concentrated, and with a wave of his hand, conjured up a pile of delicious fruits. These fruits were brightly colored and had a fragrant aroma that made one's mouth water.
The old man's eyes widened at the sight, and he muttered, "Not bad, not bad, that's interesting."
Then, the two engaged in a back-and-forth battle, each displaying their unique abilities. The old man conjured a flock of birds one moment, and dazzling fireworks the next; Liu Yu conjured beautiful flowers and cool spring water the next. Xiao Qing was not to be outdone, conjuring streaks of lightning that illuminated the entire valley.
The magic contest made everyone laugh, and the valley was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Just then, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and he flung his hands away, saying, "I'm not playing anymore, it's not fun at all."
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering what the old man was up to now.
The old man continued, "Actually, I was lying to you. There's a treasure in this valley. If you can get it, I'll let you go."
Liu Yu said helplessly, "You changed your mind too quickly. We were just having a good time a moment ago."
The old man ignored him, turned around and walked away, saying as he went, "Come with me." The group had no choice but to follow him.
The old man led the group to a cave, stopped, and said, "The treasure is inside, but there's a guardian beast, so be careful." With that, the old man vanished in a puff of smoke.
"That old man is really unreliable," Pigsy complained. "He brought us here and then ran away."
The group cautiously entered the cave. The cave was dark and damp, filled with a pungent odor.
As soon as they entered, they heard a roar. A gigantic monster appeared before them. This monster was enormous, like a small mountain, covered in hard scales, and its eyes gleamed with a ferocious light.
"What should we do?" Xu Xian was so frightened that his face turned pale and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Liu Yu took a deep breath and said, "Don't be afraid, let's go together."
A fierce battle ensued...
