The walls of the mountain cave were unexpectedly hollow. With a powerful swipe from the black bear, it instantly broke open a large hole.
The black bear followed the momentum and fell into the dark hole. After a long moment, the muffled sound of the bear hitting the ground echoed from below.
Jin Zijin and Yue Rujing exchanged looks. Judging by the sound, the hole was very deep.
Yue Rujing picked up a lit tree branch and tossed it into the pitch-black hole. Through the flickering firelight, they could see that the cave was not only deep but also vast.
What surprised them even more was the unmistakable signs of artificial excavation within the cave. At the center of the cave was a large circular platform, resembling an ancient altar crafted by human hands.
"Who would carve out a cave in such a high mountain?"
Jin Zijin furrowed his brows and gently shook his head.
"Should we go down and take a look?"
