Ignoring the other bits and pieces in the bag for the time being, Yi Annie confirmed the logo engraved on the inside of the flashlight, corrected the positive and negative poles of the battery, and then stuffed three equally heavy batteries into the flashlight, screwed the lid on, and tried the battery switch again.

This time, bright light quickly pierced through the darkness, creating a beam of light in the cavern's space.

Anne was startled by the sudden flash of light, but the fright was soon swept away by great joy.

Let the eyes adjust to the light, the light of this old-fashioned flashlight is actually not very bright, after all, it is a technology more than 30 years ago, and besides, the torch and the battery itself have been stored for so long, and I don't know how long it will last.

Yi Annie first looked at the space she was in, it seemed a little strange, this space was about a hemispherical shape, which seemed very regular. This discovery sent alarm bells up in her mind, and in her judgment, it definitely didn't come naturally.

In addition to the smooth steep slope she rolled down, there was a rock crevice on the other side, which seemed to lead to deeper space.

Anne used her flashlight to shine a light into the crevice, which was closer to what she remembered as a cave, as if it were a mountain or a crack in the rock, leading to an unknown dark place. Like the cave where Noah's family had been trapped before, this cave is almost entirely made of gypsum rock.

Theoretically, the "Promised Land" should be somewhere in this cave.

On the whole, Nou is a long and narrow shape.

Anne vaguely remembers reading an article about hiking before, and the time it took to cross Nou Province on foot was about 60 hours, that is, about three days and two nights. Excluding the time for resting, opening the road, cooking, camping, and sleeping, the real walking time is actually less than 30 hours, and the walking distance is less than 150 kilometers.

In the map Steven left behind, the cave system almost crosses Nouven, and it doesn't seem to have any particularly big curves. Well, the total length of this cave is about 150 kilometers.

Anne knew that caving must take a lot longer than walking on the ground, and according to Steven, the members of the Esoteric Society spent almost a week exploring. Over the course of a week, they walked through the caves across the province of Nou, and with the time spent exploring, it really didn't look very long.

Cautiously taking a step deeper into the cavern, Iannie retreated.

She always felt that she shouldn't have entered the territory of some evil god so rashly, but she didn't know how to survive.

After thinking about it, Yi Annie first returned to the place where she found the hiking bag before, and found the notebook that she had turned out before from the bits and pieces in the bag, hoping to find any useful clues.

After opening it, Yi Annie was even more desperate, the notebook turned out to be blank, no wonder it was left in the bag, and no one came to look for it for more than 30 years.

Then, Yi Anne found a cloth bag from the bottom of the mountaineering bag, which wrapped the contents tightly and stuck right at the bottom of the mountaineering bag, making Yi Anne think that it was the bottom support of the mountaineering bag at first.

When the cloth bag was opened, it turned out to be a plate covered with rust, the rust was a little yellow, and Yi Annie, who had long forgotten the content of high school chemistry, did not think of what kind of material it was for a while. The rust was apparently treated carefully, so that the patterns and writing on the plate could barely be seen. These patterns are relatively simple, but they are a little rough, and at least Anne Yi, who has studied art appreciation, obviously feels that this pattern probably belongs to the Native Americans.

Then she flipped the plate over and over again with a flashlight, but Anne was stunned - she had seen this plate before!

Just a few weeks ago, the wealthy man Xiande told Yi Anne a magical historical story. In the story, someone in Xiande's family found a way to keep himself alive from a pile of antiques, and for this, almost the entire summer city became the price.

The most serious of the follow-up to that incident was the serial murder that happened in Xia Cheng two weeks ago, and the murderer was the descendant of the man who wanted to give him another life. For some reason that could not be investigated yet, he suddenly began to kill innocent people, and eventually the police officers at the scene shot each other like crazy......

When looking for information for this incident, Xiande also showed the album of those antiques of the year, due to various reasons, only some of those antiques have been found so far, and more of them have been lost in the accident of the explosion in Xiacheng.

None of Anne expected that one of the lost antiques would now be in her possession. If I'm not mistaken, this is the antique in the story of the Mysterious Society that leads everyone to the "Lost Lands".

Although I don't know how the members of the Mystery Society got this antique, it seems that even this incident is related to the mysterious life-sustaining ritual before the explosion in Summer City that year.

In this way, Yi Annie felt that her situation was even more dangerous.

Ignoring the antiques for the time being, Yi Annie continued to try to climb up the slope, and with the light of the flashlight, it was at least much easier to find a place to stay.

Unfortunately, Anne underestimated the difficulty of rock climbing, and even when she saw the foothold, her physical strength still couldn't allow her to climb it.

"Hey! Anyone? Yi Anne shouted twice, and then remembered that she was now in a state of soul piercing, and even if anyone could not see it or hear her, it was better to leave her strength to do something else.

She knew before that even though she was in a soul state, she still seemed to need energy support. It may be okay now, she just had a buffet-style dinner before returning to her room, but after a long time, I don't know if there will be any irreversible problems.

Stuffing the notebook and other bits and pieces back into the hiking bag, Yi Anne thought about it, and finally walked deeper into the cave. Thinking that even if she doesn't go in, the evil spirits of the "Promised Land" will come to her, so it's better to save some time and take the initiative.

With this decision in mind, Anne reconfirmed the flashlight in her hand, and then stepped into the only entrance.

Anne had always thought that she was not claustrophobic, and had not had any adverse reactions during the exploration of the other side of the cave with Noah's family.

But at this moment, the moment she stepped into the cave alone, darkness enveloped her, and the old flashlight could only shine on a small area beneath her feet, and Anne felt a deep fear.

This fear made her feel the beating heartbeat in her distant body.

She breathed a sigh of relief—I seemed to be here, but I didn't seem to be here—so what was it that was fearing?
