They enjoyed the rest of the day before heading towards their hotel and eating.
They ate a lot and went to their rooms before heading to bed.
The next morning, G woke Lilly and Trash up early, and they decided to travel towards the battlefield.
They needed to go to the west of China and decided to walk due to Trash's wish.
Trash was quite happy the weather was good since the sun was shining and the weather was hot as well with around 25 to 30 degrees all around China. Yes, all around China, even on top of mountains, since the weather god loved to change the world with climate change, and so this is what happened even though it didn't make any sense at all, but that is what was happening, so one can't deny it since it is the reality of the situation, so one shouldn't make an excuse to say it isn't real.
They walked towards the vast land of China until Trash spotted a cave that he wanted to explore. G and Lilly had nothing against it, so they went inside. Inside the cave there was a tunnel, and they followed the tunnel until the tunnel split in two.
They followed the right was then took a left then a right then a left then a right then a right then a right and lastly a left. Now they saw some ancient ruins since it is a good custom to reward the people exploring caves.
On the cave there was a riddle that looked like this:
You can only choose one. One answer is correct; the rest are fake. What 1 to x letters are true?

That was written on the wall. Trash thought for a moment before pressing the xxx on the wall, which of course was the correct answer.
Wow, you did it, young mage?
An old voice was heard. Yeah, I did, so what?
Now you will become my new body?
What?
Yes, my new body?
The old voice entered Trash's body.
Suddenly, his spirit got attacked by an unfamiliar source, and the old men were destroyed and converted into mana for Trash to consume.
That trial was quite helpful, he said.
True Iris and G agreed before heading back out of the cave. On the way out, Trash spotted several clues to where they came from; sadly, he didn't see them before, but it didn't matter since he had no problem finding the way anyway.
Next, they decided to really head towards the ongoing war, but they were repeatedly held up by new caves with new secrets. Each one holding a new message and a new old man trying to overtake a body without any success.
These people are getting on my nerves. G said and just decided to obliterate them all, and indeed she managed to obliterate everyone.
They continued walking until they found another cave.
Why another one? Lilly said.
This is weird. I didn't spot this cave before G said, and as they walked closer to the cave, suddenly the rock they got from the auction had a weird reaction. It vibrated?
Let's go into that cave, G said. She still wasn't able to figure out what the rock was for, but by now she was even surer that Trash was right or wrong with his assessment.
This rock definitely had a huge secret behind it, since even G couldn't feel the magic of the rock. There seemed to be mana of the same level as trash inside but a different type. G couldn't feel the mana, but Trash could. It had to be true.
Something even I can't perceive it must be something ancient.
They headed inside of the cave and took a lot of left and right turns again before coming across another word riddle, which stated.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. You won't find what you are looking for without it. You will find what you are looking for with it. What is it? Is it AQQ SWW DEE FRR GTT HZZ JUU KII LOO MMJ NNH BBG VVF XXS EGG LKJ MNB VCX YAS DFG HJK LKJ NHG FZI LIJ GFD or AIR?
What is your choice?
Ok, another weird riddle G tried to come up with a solution.
I need something. Are they talking about this rock? And one of the later words describes what is needed? Ok, I recognize two words. EGG and AIR. But this is just a stone; it is neither of those.
Wait, what if it is an egg? G pondered for a while longer before electing EGG.
A new shape opened up, which exactly represented the shape of the rock. G put the rock inside, and suddenly the whole cave trembled. The walls changed, and the roof went up.
The whole room changed and changed and changed again until it was completely different. In fact, it was so different that it wasn't even a cave anymore. Above them now was a golden sky with silver stars.
It looked like something out of a movie.
