Chapter 126: Creating a Blessed Land of Immortals

On Lamma Island, there is a scenic spot called Shenfeng Cave; it has not yet been developed, but Zhang Cheng has chosen this place.

He directly exchanged merit for thousands of wisps of spiritual energy and sent them into Shenfeng Cave; this was only the initial transformation.

With the infusion of spiritual energy, the flora and fauna within Shenfeng Cave underwent changes.

This Shenfeng Cave contains tunnels from the Second World War, and as the spiritual energy permeated them, the vengeful ghosts buried within awakened.

Zhang Cheng sensed the changes inside from outside the cave; he exchanged for a gourd with a Sumeru Mustard Seed space and tossed it into the cave. Afterward, he left.

"Beep, beep, beep."

Inside a military camp, a detector was constantly sounding an alarm.

An officer hurriedly asked, "What is going on!"

A soldier replied, "There is an abnormal energy fluctuation at Shenfeng Cave on Lamma Island, it is extremely intense!"

The officer frowned and said, "Shenfeng Cave, that was a military base in the past; no wonder they wanted to build a base there, they must have discovered something!"

He immediately took out a satellite phone and called Baron James.

The call was answered quickly, and Baron James asked, "What is it?"

The officer immediately reported, "Lord Baron, we have detected intense energy fluctuations at Shenfeng Cave on Lamma Island!"

Baron James's face lit up with joy, and he thought to himself: The country has been searching for places related to the extraordinary for so many years without any harvest; now that one has appeared in the territory under my jurisdiction, this is truly a great joy!

He immediately said, "Send people to Shenfeng Cave to investigate at once!"

The officer immediately led a team in person and rushed to Shenfeng Cave to investigate.

After hanging up the phone, Baron James immediately summoned two mages from the Mages' Association; these two mages had not yet recovered from their injuries.

Therefore, they did not give Baron James a pleasant look when they saw him.

A mage said with a straight face, "Mr. Baron, is there something?"

Baron James said with a haughty expression, "I have discovered something related to the extraordinary."

The mage's expression changed, and he asked, "Please clarify, Mr. Baron."

Baron James smiled and said, "There may be treasures inside the Shenfeng Cave on Lamma Island."

The mage's expression stirred, then he shook his head and said, "Mr. Baron, you are truly foolish; we will not go and provoke that Celestial Master on Lamma Island."

Baron James said with some dissatisfaction, "Are you willing to watch a magic treasure fall into the hands of an Easterner?"

"To tell you the truth, I have already sent people to invite capable and extraordinary people from Nanyang, Eastern Japan, and other places to Hong Kong."

"By then, the entire Hong Kong will be in a state of chaos; even so, you still wouldn't dare?"

The mage was very tempted; he nodded slightly and said, "I need to consult the association."

Baron James smiled and said, "Then I shall wait for your good news."

However, what Baron James did not expect was that a major incident had occurred at Shenfeng Cave!

The squad responsible for surveying Shenfeng Cave soon arrived at Shenfeng Cave.

They were fully armed, wearing radiation-proof suits and gas masks, and then entered the tunnel with their instruments.

The further they walked into the tunnel, the more violently the energy detection instrument sounded.

The leading officer said, "Attention, the energy fluctuations in the cave are very active; watch out for eerie creatures!"

The scout behind him said, "Sir, there is a magnetic field anomaly three hundred meters ahead!"

The officer immediately took out a UV light and shone it forward, while the others aimed their guns in defense.

Soon, they entered the interior of Shenfeng Cave.

A soldier said, "Do you all feel that it is getting colder around us?"

Soldier B replied, "It really seems so."

The officer realized with a start, "Not good, those vengeful ghosts are nearby!"

He immediately used the UV light to check the surroundings, only to see a black shadow flash by, enter the wall, and then disappear.

The officer warned again, "Everyone be careful, activate magnetic field sensing!"

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle."

Static noise soon rang out inside the cave.

"Ah!"

A scream came from deep within the cave, making everyone tremble with fear.

Soldier A exclaimed, "What kind of scream is that? Is it a devil?"

Soldier B was also somewhat panicked and said, "It is an eerie scream; sir, the eerie thing is inside!"

The officer immediately said, "I know, do not act rashly; follow the formation and advance slowly!"

No sooner had the officer finished speaking than music began to play in the tunnel; this music was Japanese-style music from the thirties and forties.

The tone of this music was minor-key by nature, and it seemed even more terrifying in the pitch-black, gloomy tunnel.

Some of the emotionally agitated soldiers began to panic.

The soldier walking at the very back looked at the path they had entered from; suddenly, a black shadow flashed by, and in his agitation, he opened fire directly.

This action caused his comrades to become panicked, and the several soldiers behind him also opened fire toward the entrance.

The officer in front was greatly alarmed and hurriedly shouted through his headset, "Who is firing? Cease fire immediately!"

The soldiers in front immediately shouted loudly, which finally made the few soldiers in the back stop.

The officer shouted through his headset, "What happened in the back? Why did you open fire!"

The last soldier said, "Sir, I saw a black shadow flash by behind us!"

The officer was terrified and hurriedly said, "Quick, retreat!"

The scout said in surprise, "Sir, the instrument is malfunctioning!"

At this, everyone panicked, and the officer hurriedly said, "Retreat quickly!"

The team immediately turned their rear into their front and walked toward the outside, but after walking for several laps, they discovered they had returned to their original position.

At this, even the officer panicked a little, and he immediately said, "Quick, call for reinforcements from headquarters!"

The communications soldier immediately took out the portable radio and shouted, "Headquarters, headquarters, this is Explorer One, please respond if you receive this!"

"Szzzzzz"

Static kept coming from the radio.

The officer refused to give up and said, "Keep calling!"

"Headquarters, headquarters, this is Explorer One, please respond if you receive this!"

"Explorer One, this is headquarters."

The communications soldier revealed a pleasantly surprised smile and immediately said, "Headquarters, Explorer One has lost their way inside the Shenfeng Cave, requesting support!"

"Szzzzzz support is currently departing szzzzzz."

The communications soldier put down the headset and said, "Sir, headquarters' support is currently departing!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers were overjoyed.

The officer also breathed a sigh of relief; as long as they waited for the support from headquarters, they would be safe.

The officer hurriedly said, "Everyone, do not let your guard down. We will stand watch in shifts, and the rest of you, rest and conserve your energy!"

"Yes, sir!"

Not long after, footsteps appeared in the tunnel.

The officer hurriedly stood up and said with some anticipation, "Have they found us?"

The soldiers immediately chimed in, "It must be them, we can get out now!"

Very quickly, that team of reinforcements appeared.

The leading officer stepped forward and said, "We are here under orders to support you; you can come with us and leave now."

The officer was just about to step forward to thank them, but he discovered that these people's legs were a bit strange—why were they bow-legged?

The next second, the officer widened his eyes and shouted, "Enemy attack, it's the enemy!"

Although the bewildered soldiers did not know what was happening, they still immediately leveled their guns at the reinforcements.

"Jie-jie-jie"

"You discovered us..."

"Stay here..."

This team of reinforcements gradually rotted away in front of the officer and the soldiers, finally disappearing from sight.

"Baron, the Explorer One squad lost contact fifteen minutes after entering the Shenfeng Cave, and they have now been out of contact for an hour."

Baron James did not expect such news, and he immediately said, "Since they have lost contact, then you should dispatch a second team, a third team!"

The officer on the other end braced himself and said, "Baron, an elite squad has lost contact just like that, which shows it is extremely dangerous inside. We need the assistance of the Mages Association or the Holy See."

Baron James took a deep breath and said, "I understand."

He immediately set off and arrived at the camp of the Ghost-Catching Unit.

This time, he went directly to find Hu Xin and said, "Today, we had an elite squad lose their tracks inside the Shenfeng Cave on Lamma Island. Now, we need your Ghost-Catching Unit to go and rescue them."

Hu Xin immediately saluted and said, "Yes, sir!"

Hu Xin immediately walked out of the office, assembled Group A and Group B, and said, "Fellow colleagues, an army elite squad has gone missing in the Shenfeng Cave on Lamma Island. Now, our mission is to find them."

Zhang Wei found it a bit strange; Lamma Island was the place his grand-martial-uncle was stationed at, so how could a disappearance happen?

However, he did not say anything more and just followed along with Jin Maiji and the others to set out.

Meanwhile, Danielle on the other side was also very strange; over an hour ago, people from the Hong Kong Mages Association had just given her news, saying they had discovered something related to the extraordinary on the island.

Now an elite squad had gone missing in the Shenfeng Cave on Lamma Island, and there was a top-tier Eastern warlock on Lamma Island.

Danielle narrowed her eyes and thought to herself: No wonder that person named Zhang Cheng has been stationed on Lamma Island all this time; it turns out there is a treasure!

She hurriedly said to Morgan, "Morgan, the situation at the Shenfeng Cave on Lamma Island is unusual. Tell everyone to be careful."

Morgan nodded and said, "I understand."

Five minutes later, the Ghost-Catching Unit departed the camp, and one hour later, they arrived at the Shenfeng Cave.

As soon as Zhang Wei got out of the car, he felt the presence of spiritual energy. Chen Meijun immediately leaned in beside Zhang Wei and said, "Consultant, there is dense spiritual energy in here."

Zhang Wei frowned and said, "The situation is very strange. Tell everyone to be careful."

On the other side, Danielle and Morgan were also very surprised; they felt the anomaly inside the Shenfeng Cave.

However, what surprised Danielle even more was that they were actually not stopped by that person from going onto Lamma Island.

What they did not know was that Zhang Cheng had been watching them the whole time.

After getting out of the car, Hu Xin immediately said, "Everyone rest for five minutes. Five minutes later, we enter the Shenfeng Cave to search for the missing people."

Zhang Wei and Danielle and the others all had things on their minds, so they didn't say anything and just prepared their equipment there.

Zhang Wei took out a bottle of dew, then took out a willow leaf branch and said, "I will open your eyes for you."

Jin Maiji, Chen Meijun, and the others immediately stepped forward, and Zhang Wei opened their eyes one by one.

Five minutes later, the two teams entered the Shenfeng Cave together.

Zhang Wei took the lead and said, "Be careful, there is a very strong eerie aura inside this cave."

Danielle gave a soft hum and said, "I know that without you telling me."

Zhang Wei curled his lips and continued walking inside.

Because their eyes had already been opened, even in the dim environment, they could see very clearly.

After walking several hundred meters inside, Zhang Wei and Danielle both saw the soldiers lying on the ground.

Zhang Wei hurriedly stepped forward and shook the officer awake, saying, "Wake up!"

After shaking him several times, the officer slowly opened his eyes. He saw Zhang Wei and was a bit confused, unable to react for a moment.

However, Danielle on the side immediately asked, "What happened here?"

The officer's expression changed, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "You..."

Zhang Wei hurriedly took out his credentials and said, "We are from the Ghost-Catching Unit."

Upon hearing the name of the Ghost-Catching Unit, the officer's expression became one of relief; he let out a breath and said, "So it's you. It's great that you've arrived; we were scared to death just now."

At this moment, the soldiers who had been unconscious on the ground also began to wake up one after another.

Danielle asked again, "Did you encounter a ghost?"

The officer nodded and said, "That's right. After we entered this tunnel, we discovered that something was wrong, and later our detection instruments also stopped working. We intended to run out, but after walking in circles, we returned to the camp."

"Afterward, we requested reinforcements from headquarters, but the result was that a squad of ghosts arrived, and then we didn't know anything else."

Zhang Wei looked around and indeed discovered the presence of lingering resentment, but there was even more pure spiritual energy.

Danielle said, "Hmm, there is indeed a problem here. With us here, you are already safe. Morgan, you take people to guard them; I need to investigate this place."

Morgan nodded and said, "No problem."

Zhang Wei instructed Chen Meijun to stay behind with He Fenni, Lin Yulian, and Dai Bobo, while he took Jin Maiji and the others to follow Danielle to investigate the surroundings.

Their group quickly entered the depths of the Shenfeng Cave, where the spiritual energy was even more dense.

Zhang Wei walked forward two steps, feeling as if he had stepped on something under his feet.

He hurriedly moved his foot to look, and it was an exquisite little gourd.

Danielle also saw Zhang Wei's action; she looked closely and hurriedly asked, "Can you let me see it?"

Zhang Wei opened the stopper of the gourd directly, carefully sensed it, and said with great surprise, "This gourd is actually a magic treasure; there is at least a cubic meter of independent space inside!"

Danielle hurriedly stepped forward and directly grasped Zhang Wei's hand to sense it; she discovered that it was indeed a spatial magic treasure.

Zhang Wei looked at the hand holding his and looked away, feeling somewhat awkward.

Danielle hurriedly withdrew her hand and said, "This magic treasure belongs to the Hong Kong government; it must be turned in after we go out."

Zhang Wei did not argue and nodded, saying, "I understand."

He actually didn't even care for this kind of magic treasure; his own Universe Bag was worth several such magic treasures.

However, he had not expected to pick up such a magic treasure inside the Shenfeng Cave.

Zhang Wei looked around and said, "Could this be the residence of some enlightened master? Otherwise, how could a magic treasure exist here?"

Danielle nodded and said, "This place should have been abandoned for a long time, which is why ghosts appeared. Perhaps there are still rare treasures inside."

"Ah!"

Zhang Wei was just planning to investigate further inside, but a scream from He Fenni came from behind.

"Not good!"

Zhang Wei's expression changed, and he immediately turned around and ran back.
