Chapter 20: Encountering the Enemy

As she stepped out of the long hallway and into another space, Jessica kicked the pebbles at her feet. It was a very small rock, which she kicked to the other side, and then hit something, and stopped rolling and didn't move.

Except for the lantern of the Gendina in front of me, it was dark outside, but judging from the range of light, this place was definitely not small. The sound coming from under your feet can be transmitted to the other side, and then echo in this space.

"Do you want to use the magic of light?" Jessica asked Junia, "maybe you'll see mountains of bugs, right?" ”

Junia was more worried about other dangers than the black larvae that might be all over the space. Those bugs don't seem to be much of a threat other than the corrosive fluids in their bodies, but if they were in this space, there was something else lurking, and the light would stimulate them...... Then lighting becomes a very stupid thing. The lantern in Zhendina's hand wasn't dazzling in the darkness, barely enveloping the three of them, but if Jessica was allowed to use a powerful lighting spell, it would be a different matter.

Junia spreads her spirit out to her surroundings, letting her eyes, nose and ears, even her mouth, and every inch of her skin, feel the space, feel the flow of air, feel the smell and trajectory of every breath as it passes, and confirm whether there is anything unusual in this strange place...... Until he exhaled softly, "Be careful with your feet." ”

"I'm used to bugs. Gendina said, having just stepped on a worm that had wriggled to her feet.

"There are holes in the ground, be careful, otherwise if you fall, you may be gone. "You don't know where those holes lead...... Maybe it's the food store for those bugs. ”

Zhendina's face turned pale, not because she was frightened by Junia's words, but because Junia was telling the truth, and she happened to step on the edge of a hole in the ground. Just one step away, as long as she walked a little crooked out of the group, she was probably going to fall. There was nothing to see down there, only darkness, and even with a lantern, you couldn't see the deepest part. If you fall, you may really be gone, and there is no other possibility.

"Jessica, can you light up this place?" said Junia to the female knight working under her after making sure that there was no danger around her. Jessica answered, raised her hand, and a ball of light came out of her hand, and then split into several small balls and scattered around. Jessica suddenly made their surroundings look much brighter, and they could see what was around them.

All around them were ruins of broken masonry and gravel, and holes in the ground, ranging in size from small ones that could not be fitted into Jindina to large ones that could swallow several wagons at once. This place was a whole world away from the halls and corridors they had just stepped on. Instead of a hard floor, a flat ceiling overhead, there was a slippery mud floor and a top dripping with stalactites. The huge stalactites hanging high above their heads were already telling them how long this place had been around for the guests who had come here.

Zantina's lantern and Jessica's ball of light did not illuminate the entire space, but made them look even smaller.

"How big is this place...... What was this place?" Jessica exclaimed, taking care to make her sound too loud and affect the larvae around her as they burrowed through the ruins. The image was disgusting to be noticed—it was like dozens of fat maggots burrowing around on a piece of cheese.

"This could be an area of the dungeon. "At least she didn't lie to us and took us to this nearby dungeon." But where is she now. He looked down at Gendina, who shrugged and shook her head, "I don't know, if she wants to disappear, no one will find her." ”

Junia also understood that this was indeed the case, he just tried to ask, and if there was no result, he didn't care.

The three of them continued on their way, walking through the caverns and ruins, and on their way. There were more and more larvae on the ground, and many of them noticed strange visitors, whether conscious or not, crawling towards those beings who were completely "behemoths" to them...... Then it was burned. Jessica couldn't stand the fact that the things continued to wriggle towards her, and began to use a small area of fire spells to burn the larvae that came close. If it was just a small flame ray, it was not a heavy burden for Jessica, but this kind of delicate work was almost like a warm-up for her. Littlefinger-sized rays of flame fell on the larvae, leaving charred holes in their holes, and the juice from the fat body did not burst out.

Her rays of fire swept through the larvae, and the scorching sound never stopped, knowing that the three of them had come to the edge of a hill.

It is a hill, not made of dirt, rocks, and plants, but a garbage heap made of ruined bricks and broken buildings. At the top of this mountain of garbage, there is a whole thing, laid out there. It was an altar-like platform with something Junia familiar with. A crystal clear Rubik's Cube, emitting blue energy, formed a mist-like thing that wrapped around it. The blue mist was faint enough to maintain the light around it, but it was enough to draw attention to its presence.

"What's that, treasure?" Jessica had seen for the first time in her first sight, no woman would not like shiny things, just like dragons, and Jessica couldn't avoid it. The blue Rubik's Cube is so beautiful, and the gems are nothing more than that.

For Junia, the blue light reminded him of a lot of past events, memories of his teenage years, which were definitely not pleasant. And Zhendina, looking at the Rubik's Cube, had a subtle expression on her face, like disgust, and like fear.

As the blue magic caught their attention, a shadow approached from behind them......

And Junia, who was the first to notice, pulled out the sword at her waist and aimed it at the shadow hiding behind the ruins, "Come out...... If you can understand what I'm saying!"

The existence in that shadow did come out, but whether it came out because of Junia's words is unknown. The one who approached the three of Junia from behind was naturally not Lulunaka, at least in terms of size, it would definitely not be Lulunaka. For it was the height of an adult male, clad in a tattered cloak, and only the outline could be seen, and he could not see his, her, or feet, nor an inch of skin. All they could see was the cloak that wrapped around the thing, and the dark shadow.
