This kind of woods near the city generally does not have too powerful beasts, and if there is, it will also be artificially cleared.

Unless it was the beasts that had lost their way, or were so hungry, that they had run to the outskirts of the city.

If this is the case, then most of the missing girls are more likely to be more than lucky.

But no matter what, the girl still has to look for it. Maybe she's hiding, shivering alone in a safe corner, or maybe she's shivering.

The sun was setting, and night was coming again, and Roland summoned four balls of light to surround the two of them, and after searching for a while, they found nothing.

Roland suggested, "Let's go our separate ways, this place is a bit big. Although you can't do magic like lighting, you do have dark vision and should be able to move freely in the dark. Whether you can find the missing girl or not, how about meeting at the city gate at dawn? ”

"It's ......" Beta hesitated, but nodded anyway.

The two then separated.

Originally, the forest was very quiet, and from time to time there were strange sounds of cooing, which was quite scary. After the two separated, it seemed even quieter and more terrifying.

Although the light globe was as bright as day more than thirty meters around, it was dark farther away.

It was pitch black, as if something had burst out of the darkness.

The rustling of feet on dead leaves, the sound that appears to be very subtle during the day, is clearly audible at this time.

In fact, in such an environment, Roland's heart is also a little hairy. But he still fought hard, looking for any clues that might exist.

After walking for a long time, he suddenly saw a footprint.

On the dead leaves, there is a deep and shallow footprint moving forward.

The footprints were not big, at least two sizes smaller than Roland's, and if they weren't children, they should be women.

Roland was overjoyed and walked briskly along the footprints.

Five minutes later, he saw the scene in front of him where the dead leaves had been stirred up. A gray basket fell on its side to the ground, with a few white mushrooms scattered around.

The dead leaves were parted, and a trail swam into the dark depths of the woods.

Roland's face sank and he ran rapidly.

After running for about ten minutes, he saw a small hill, and at the foot of the hill, there was a dark cave.

Trails into the cavern.

As soon as Roland approached the cave, he smelled a strong fishy odor.

It's a bit like a fishy smell, but it's mixed with a sheep's sass.

Roland controls a ball of light to float into it, and finds that the cave is very deep and has been slowly descending.

If you go in alone...... Roland thought for a moment, withdrew the ball of light, and then, under the control of his mind, the four balls of light merged into a large ball of light, which was launched into the air with a whoosh, exploding like fireworks.

The vast black night brightened for about three seconds, and then a little bit of light and dust rained down and then slowly disappeared.

Roland summoned four more balls of light around him.

Four minutes later, the four balls of light were launched into the air.

Four more orbs of light were summoned.

After a while, a panting Beta rushed over.

"Brother Roland, you really set off the fireworks!" Beta gasped as she said, "Found a clue?" ”

Roland nodded, "I found the basket and the mushrooms, and a trail into the cave." ”

Hearing this, Beta's eyes lit up: "Then there is nothing wrong. I'm half a warrior, I'll take the lead first, Brother Roland, you're in charge of controlling the field as usual. ”

Drawing his sword from the system's backpack, Beta was the first to step into the cave.

Roland followed.

Entering the cave, the stench became stronger.

Both of them subconsciously covered their noses with one hand.

The cave was damp, and the rock walls were faintly stained with water.

The passage is quite high, about two meters, so that two people can walk without looking down, and the width is actually quite large, allowing two people to walk side by side without feeling too crowded.

A ball of light floats in front of it, leading the way.

The passage has been slowly descending, and although the two of them are very nervous, they have not encountered any danger in essence, and they have come to the end of the passage.

The field of vision suddenly widened, and then I saw a cavity underground.

"Why isn't there anything?" Beta asked, confused.

It's not a big hole, and you can see everything in one circle.

There is nothing here but tawny dirt.

"And the smell here is much lighter." Roland looked left and right and continued, "Look for it, there may be some secret door or something." ”

The two scattered for a while, and Beta suddenly shouted, "Brother Roland, look here!" ”

Roland walked over and looked at where Beta was pointing.

The dirt there looks normal, but it's a little 'new' compared to the surroundings.

Under normal circumstances, this subtle discrepancy is likely to be overlooked. But both Roland and Beta are already preconceived, and with the concept of 'secret door', it is easy to find this difference.

Two mage hands appeared, and began to quickly gouge through the dirt on the walls.

"It's weird, indeed." Roland said as he controlled the mage's hand, "These soils are obviously much softer. ”

Beta took two steps forward, ready for battle.

Soon, Roland dug through the wall, and a black hole appeared in front of the two of them. A disgusting fishy stench rushed out of it.

Roland continued to pull with his mage's hand a few times, widening the hole a bit, and then moved a ball of light inside.

Then the faces of the two turned pale for a moment.

It's a dark room, and there's a lot of corpses in it.

Most of the corpses had turned to dry bones, except for two corpses that still had the appearance of humans.

Both were female corpses, Chiguo's.

A decaying, large number of white maggots crawling around on the corpse.

And the other ...... A stab wound to the left chest, the flesh was blurred, and the blood stains had dried up.

The two understood what was going on with just one glance.

Brute!

Beta inhaled heavily, then suddenly stepped aside, crouched down and vomited.

Roland's fists clenched, his stomach was like a wave surging, and he wanted to vomit, but he endured it.

With a tense face, he walked into the cave and looked closely at the freshest corpse of the maiden.

This should be what they are looking for, after all, even the system has highlighted 'her'.

It's too late! Roland was both angry and helpless in his heart, maybe by the time they received the task, the girl had already died.

Who did this to you! So cruel!

At this time, the task prompt suddenly came.

The mission is completed and you gain 184 points of experience for the character.

Hell, who cares if the task is completed or not.

Roland scolded angrily in his heart, he took off his magic robe, covered the girl's body, and was about to pick up the girl and take her away from this place for burial, but suddenly felt that the girl's body was still a little warm, and her body was not stiff!

It stands to reason that he should have been stiff after being dead for so long!

Don't?

Roland put his finger in front of the girl's nose, and sure enough, he felt a faint breath.

Exercise!!!

Roland roared, cautiously, but quickly picked up the girl, rushed out of the cave, saw that Beta was still squatting on the ground retching, immediately rushed over, and kicked the boy with a hard leg.

At the same time, he shouted loudly: "What are you still coquettish there, come and hold people, quickly!" She's still alive, you're half a warrior with great strength and fast running, so you hurry back to the city with her to find a doctor for treatment. ”
