The Hidden Cave

Liu Zhihao and Yu Qing parted ways after their meal, with Liu Zhihao heading towards the mountains. He had heard rumors of a hidden cave deep in the mountains, where a legendary treasure was said to be hidden.

As he climbed higher and higher, the air grew thinner and colder. The trees grew sparser until there was nothing but rocky terrain beneath his feet.

Liu Zhihao pressed on, determined to find the hidden cave. He had always been drawn to stories of adventure and treasure, and he was convinced that this was his chance to find something truly valuable.

After hours of climbing, he finally came across a small cave entrance. He couldn't be sure if it was the one he was looking for, but something about it felt right.

He cautiously made his way inside, the darkness swallowing him up. He fumbled for his torch, his heart racing with anticipation.

As the torch flickered to life, he saw that the cave was larger than he had expected. It stretched deep into the mountain, with twists and turns that seemed to go on forever.

Liu Zhihao pressed on, his heart pounding with excitement. As he turned a corner, he saw a glint of something shiny up ahead. He quickened his pace, eager to see what it was.

As he drew closer, he saw that it was a chest, made of gleaming gold and encrusted with precious jewels. He could hardly believe his luck.

He approached the chest cautiously, his heart racing with excitement. He could feel his palms growing sweaty as he reached out to open it.

But as he lifted the lid, he was met with disappointment. Inside the chest was nothing but a pile of rocks.

Liu Zhihao couldn't believe it. All this way, for nothing? He felt like he had been tricked, like someone had played a cruel joke on him.

As he turned to leave the cave, he heard a low rumble coming from deep within the mountain. He froze, unsure of what to do.

The rumbling grew louder and louder, and he could feel the ground shaking beneath his feet. He knew he needed to get out of there, and fast.

He ran as fast as he could, his heart pounding in his chest. As he burst out of the cave, he saw a massive boulder hurtling towards him.

He tried to dodge it, but it was too late. The boulder slammed into him with a sickening thud, and everything went black.
