Okay, here’s the English translation of the provided Chinese text:

Following the location where those demons appeared, Long Haochen and his companions finally found their destination for this trip: the Cave of Fearful Howls.

Rather than a cave, it would be more accurate to call it a fissure.

The fissure was about three meters wide and six or seven meters high, pitch black inside, with an unknown depth. Around the mouth of the cave, the fissure was surrounded by numerous fine cracks, obviously caused by the oscillation of the terrifying sound waves.

Using spiritual power to test it, one could feel that the rock here was extremely hard, far exceeding granite.

After observing the situation here, everyone’s eyes focused on Long Haochen. Lin Xin said irritably, “The Alliance’s mission is really not great. They didn’t clearly tell us that the howls here are so terrifying; we have no preparation at all.”

Long Haochen thought for a moment and said, “I estimate that the demon race won’t send reinforcements for at least three days. How about this: you guys dig a stone cave on the side of the mountain, and then we can all rest inside. Block the entrance with some stones. This will minimize the threat from the howls. I’ll first try out the intensity of the howls inside the cave entrance. We’ll see how long we can withstand it with our own abilities.”

Lu Xi said, “Captain, you’re the leader of the whole team; how can you risk yourself? Let me do it. I’m a mage; if I can withstand it, everyone else should be fine.”

Long Haochen shook his head and said, “No, no one knows what’s inside the cave. You have no defense. What if another greater demon comes out? No one needs to say anything more. I’ll stay at the entrance; I won’t go deep. I’ll retreat if I can’t handle it. Lin Xin, prepare something to block our ears; isolating our hearing as much as possible should lessen the impact.”

“Okay.”

What is a true leader? A true leader steps up to meet challenges and takes on the most dangerous tasks. This is also an important reason why Long Haochen has gained everyone’s recognition.

Long Haochen squeezed Cai’er’s hand, indicating that he would be fine, and then strode into the cave.

The cave was very dark. This was naturally not a problem for Long Haochen. The light elemental spirit, Ya Ting, floated out and flew ahead, a faint golden light blooming from her perfectly proportioned delicate body. The gentle light element immediately illuminated everything around.

After walking only a dozen meters into the cave, the bodies of two lesser demons came into Long Haochen’s view. Ignoring them, Long Haochen continued deeper.

He certainly couldn’t just withstand the howls at the entrance; he had to go deeper to truly feel the intensity of the howls.

Cold air currents swirled in the cave, which was much colder than outside, and the air was also slightly murky. Long Haochen didn’t move forward quickly. As he walked, he carefully observed the surrounding stone walls.

He discovered that these stone walls had no traces of artificial excavation. They were completely like fissures that had appeared naturally in the mountain. However, the stone walls, like the entrance, were covered in cracks caused by the howls.

There was no path underfoot, only jagged rocks, making it even more difficult to walk. There was no light in the cave, and this almost-split mountain was extremely irregular, with twists and turns everywhere. Even with the light element emitted by Ya Ting, Long Haochen could only see less than ten meters ahead.

Long Haochen walked, silently calculating the distance he had traveled.

Just as he had advanced about two hundred meters, suddenly, the path ahead ended. A huge fissure appeared before him. This fissure was vertical, and the bottom was bottomless.

The Holy Spirit Sword waved, and a Light斬 Sword (Light Slash Sword) slashed into the fissure. Under the illumination of the light brought by the Light斩 Sword, Long Haochen saw about a few dozen meters below.

Drawing a cold breath, Long Haochen’s handsome face was full of surprise.

Inside the fissure, there were jagged, uneven broken rocks everywhere. There were indeed many places to gain leverage, but the depth of the fissure could not be determined at all. Moreover, he clearly felt faint fluctuations of spiritual power drifting out of the fissure.

Although this spiritual power was very faint, it had a ferocious aura, like a monster choosing someone to devour. Other than the two lesser demons when they first entered the cave, Long Haochen had not seen the bodies of any other demons. It was very likely that the demon race had gone deep inside, but had not come back up. What was at the bottom of this fissure?

Although the fissure was very wide, it was full of sharp, pointed rocks. In this kind of terrain, it was impossible to deploy one’s skills if one encountered a strong enemy. For a moment, he frowned.

There were no forks in the path ahead, which meant that delving into the fissure before him was the only goal to explore. At the same time, those howls probably rose from this cave.

Without rushing into the cave, Long Haochen took a few steps back and found a flat place where he could lean against the mountain wall and sat down. He adjusted his breath and waited quietly.

Since this Cave of Fearful Howls was full of unknown dangers, he had to proceed in the most stable way. He would keep all dangers as much as possible within a controllable range.

He didn’t wait long. When the third howl appeared, Long Haochen’s first reaction was actually to breathe a sigh of relief. The reason he was relieved was not because the power of the howl was weakened in the cave, but because of the timing.

The interval between the three howls was almost exactly the same. In this situation, at least it would give them enough preparation time and prediction. If the timing of these howls was uncertain, the trouble would be much greater.

However, Long Haochen’s relaxation only lasted for a moment. As he had expected, the power of this howl was much greater in the cave.

The piercing scream caused the entire cave to tremble violently. Ya Ting immediately returned to Long Haochen’s body.

Holy Light Barrier. Long Haochen released this skill, trying to block the mournful sound as much as possible. At the same time, he concentrated inward, circulating his own liquid internal spiritual power throughout his body to resist the howling’s assault with all his strength.

When hearing this howl outside, it was mostly a mournful sound, but inside the cave, Long Haochen felt obvious changes.

While the mournful sound increased unabated, because it was inside the cave, the howling was even more condensed, producing a sound wave power that was extremely huge. The violent sense of vibration seemed to tear Long Haochen apart. Under this terrifying shock wave, the Holy Light Barrier actually quickly showed cracks, and then collapsed.

The speed of the sound wave oscillation was really too fast. Long Haochen’s mind was connected to the Holy Light Barrier. The moment the Holy Light Barrier broke, he couldn’t help but groan. But at the same time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Completely maintaining his original posture without moving, and even maintaining the circulation of spiritual power as much as possible in the previous state, the second Holy Light Barrier was released again.

Inspiration often only appears for a very short time. The reason Long Haochen tried his best to maintain the original state was to not let this inspiration slip away.

A moment later, the second Holy Light Barrier broke again.

Although the howling in the cave was strong, Long Haochen was, after all, a fifth-order powerhouse. He could barely resist the howling of the greater demon. How could he not resist it? Under the effect of that strange inspiration, Long Haochen did not feel irritable because of the howling. In his golden eyes, the light instead became brighter and brighter.

The Holy Light Barrier was only a third-order skill for guardian knights. With Long Haochen’s current spiritual power cultivation, releasing hundreds of them would not be a problem, let alone the assistance of the light elemental spirit Ya Ting.

The Holy Light Barriers shattered one after another. Long Haochen did not move, nor did he try anything. He just firmly grasped that inspiration, not letting it escape, and silently felt it.

A strong sense of excitement gradually surged in his heart. As that feeling became clearer and clearer, the excitement was constantly increasing.

Long Haochen, with a congenital internal spiritual power as high as ninety-nine, can be said to be the knight with the strongest comprehension among all the knights on the continent today. In addition, his innate mental power is abnormal, and his perception far exceeds that of ordinary people. Except for Cai’er, no one can compare to him in terms of perception and understanding.

Opportunity is always left to those who are prepared. In that ray of understanding, a smile gradually appeared on Long Haochen’s face.

When the howling disappeared, Long Haochen instead had a sense of loss, but that inspiration could never escape, because it had completely turned into Long Haochen’s understanding.

A light purple light appeared on Long Haochen’s forehead. The next moment, he disappeared out of thin air in the depths of this cave.

With a flash of purple light, Long Haochen appeared next to Haoyue. At this time, with the concerted efforts of the two demon hunting groups, a simple stone cave had been excavated.

Long Haochen’s sudden appearance startled everyone and almost caused a tense situation.

“It’s me,” Long Haochen said quickly.

Everyone looked at him with wide eyes, even Cai’er. Because the way he appeared was too peculiar. He was a knight! Not an assassin skilled at hiding himself.

Long Haochen smiled slightly and said, “Everyone is on the same side, so I won’t hide it from you. Haoyue and I have a blood pact. Therefore, in the case of bloodline connection, we can complete the transmission to each other in an instant. So no matter what danger we face, as long as Haoyue is outside, I am confident that I can escape.”

The members of the 21st Grade General Demon Hunting Group were better off, but the six members of the 4th Grade Soldier Demon Hunting Group, except for Li Xin, had a ghostly feeling.

They were even depressed as to why they were not in the same demon hunting group as Long Haochen.

Long Haochen said, “As we expected, the howling in the cave is more powerful and also has a strong sonic oscillation, which has a great impact on spiritual power. However, through my test just now, to withstand a round of howling, I need to consume about 20% of my spiritual power. Based on the different strengths of everyone, I estimate that it will at most require about 40% of your spiritual power.”
