THE three members of Team Mozu worked quietly, thinking through the riddle-like clue. They kept following the stream, but instead of searching for a literal cave, they started focusing on the changes in the landscape. The further they went, the darker the valley became, with the walls slowly closing in. It wasn't a clear path, but they noticed the space narrowing in certain areas, which seemed to match the clue.
He Zhi Long stopped when they reached a section where two large boulders sat close together. It wasn't a straightforward entrance, but it matched the clue's idea of a "twisting narrow way." They moved carefully, squeezing through the gap, finding themselves in a more confined, quiet area. The stream was barely visible now, but its sound was still present, guiding them.
