The situation with the fork in the path is similar to the stone corridor; it's just another stone corridor. It leads forward into pitch-black darkness, as if nameless demons are lurking, ready to devour anyone daring enough to venture in recklessly.
Ye Qing took out the flashlight and illuminated everything around him. Previously, inside the cave, he didn't dare to turn on the flashlight because the cave was fraught with danger, not only with those long-haired monsters but also with other intruders. If they saw the light, they would surely find him. However, in this forked path, Ye Qing didn't need to worry about those concerns.
Previously, people from the South Ridge Sect and the Wanyan Family had tried entering this forked path. Aside from the mechanisms and the strange situation that caused people to age gradually, there were no living creatures here. So Ye Qing felt free to boldly turn on the flashlight to observe his surroundings.
