The Adventure of the Kecapi
Chapter 96

Looking at that dear face, that face that looked so pitiful, no longer felt Hua Li let out a long and heavy sigh.

"Sister Ceng, look at the thickets that cover this cave. All around the place, this was no such shrub!" exclaimed the girl nicknamed the harpist who noticed the plant that covered the cave in front of him.

"What's with the bushes, sister Hua? I saw that it was just an ordinary bush," Liu Ceng said without understanding as he looked at the bush nicely but he did not find anything strange.

"If somewhere grows such a bush, of course around here there is also the same bush. But look around here, no more bushes like that!" hua Li said explaining.

"Hemm, I don't understand what you mean?" asked the curious Liu Ceng.

"That means, the shrub that covers this cave is deliberately planted by people, brother Ceng! Not natural growing but deliberately there are people looking for thickets and thorns to be planted deliberately here to cover this cave!" hua Li looked at her lover.

"Ah, so you mean, people purposely covered this guha with planted shrubs so that no one would enter this cave?" asked Liu Ceng who was trying to convince Hua Li's explanation.

"Just right! And that means that behind the shrubbery, inside the cave, there is certainly something to hide and that hides not wanting anyone to be able to enter the cave!" hua Li explained.

"A. Why are you gkin the Treasure?" asked Liu Ceng who was trying to guess.

 Hua Li nodded his head and reviewed his smile.

"Hopefully so, Brother Ceng. That possibility exists, right?" ask Hua Li.

"Ah, sister Hua, why don't you give up apparently! There has been a lot of suffering and disappointment that we have experienced in search of the treasure. But you keep the spirit, I'm amazed at you!" yelled Liu Ceng who appreciated Hua Li's thought and spirit.

Hua Li looked at Liu Ceng with furrowed brows and that pair of normally soft and clear eyes was now emitting a curious gleam.

"Sister Ceng, don't you understand yet? Remember how I am right now, this is all for you and the Han kingdom warriors!" whispered Hua Li.

"I felt overwhelmed, I was an orphan, no family, lived a long time, as if I had lost my grip. The only thing that remains and is my hope, my life purpose and my spirit awakener, is merely fulfilling the message of the deceased, Father. If I succeed in carrying out my father's will and message, find the treasure and hand it over to those who are entitled as my father appointed, namely the warriors free the nation and the homeland from invaders, he said, then my life will be meaningful and I will be happy. If it doesn't work, then what does this life mean? Performing the task of fulfilling my father's last message is the only hold on my life!" said Liu Ceng who did not feel his eyes glazed over.

Hua Li also felt deeply moved. He could imagine how pitiful the state of this young man before him was. He himself is also in a difficult situation after finding out his mother is dead and his biological father has lost his memory. And there was his adoptive father who was now far away in the yellow river stream.

"Sister Ceng, I I will always defend you. If you don't mind being accompanied by a girl who always carries this zither!" said Hua Li who was staring at Liu Ceng.

The young man let out a long sigh, and there was a hint of light emanating on his somewhat thin face. Hua Li's words were like a cooling medicine in his heart because they indirectly expressed the girl's love for him.

He can feel that the girl feels hesitant to express his love because he feels that he is a girl who certainly does not deserve to express his feelings first.

"Thank you, sister Hua. I know that you are a very good friend who helped me a long time ago. Now let's unload this bush, I want to investigate into this cave" Liu Ceng said.

"Good Brother Ceng!" hua Li countered and without much further ado Liu Ceng whipped out his sword which looked as golden sword rays rolled around snatching as he moved his sword swiftly and forcefully.

The stems, twigs, and leaves of the thorny shrub flew scattering when struck by the sword light and in the not too distant future, the, all the bushes that block the guha have been cleared.

Now the mouth of the cave was about three spears wide and two spears high.

They went to the guha and when they came to the guha, they stopped and looked at the guha with wide eyes. On the floor of the cave they saw human skeletons strewn across.

When calculated they get that there are all eight skeletons are still intact, some are supine, face down, and some are tilted. Near these skeletons are also hoes and shovels, tools for digging the ground.

"Sister Ceng, it seems they have been looking for treasure and tried to dig here. But why did they all die here?" hua Li asked who was looking next to the cave which was a bit dark because it did not get the sunlight.

"So then, we should check the situation in this cave" Liu Ceng said as he spread his gaze to every corner of the cave.

 "Awas, Ceng's brother......!" hua Li exclaimed at the sight like a wand expanding next to the inside of the cave and it moved towards them with a hissing sound.

"Sssss ...!"

"Snake sister Hua......!" yelled Liu Ceng who was shocked once.

At that moment, a snake no less than the thigh of an adult, with a large head that gave off a green glow, its pair of eyes pushed out greenish, and its snout let out a hissing sound, hissing, expands like a fan.

The snake moved quickly towards them.

"Retreat, sister Hua!" yelled Liu Ceng who moved in front of Hua Li to protect the girl.

After getting close, the snake suddenly stopped, then its head slid forward, attacking Liu Ceng. The snout is wide open showing pointed teeth curved inward.

Calmly yet swiftly and forcefully, Liu Ceng thrust his sword towards the snake's head.

"Sing......!"

"Back...!"

Liu Ceng was surprised not to play when his sword mentally seemed to be fended off by a very strong object. His immortal sword, which can cut open the weapons of the opponent made of iron or steel, is now unable to break the head of the snake that has the immunity.

It's weird, it's amazing. Liu Ceng was in disbelief so for a moment he observed his sword and caught his guard down.

 "Revelation, Brother Ceng!" hua Li shouted but it was too late.
