Standing beside the abyss-like cavern, feeling the gusts of wind blowing in it, my newly ignited courage suddenly fluttered like a broken candle. I was overwhelmed by the weight of the choice, and the nameless threat hung like a blade over my head, as if it was about to cut me in half at any moment.

"Hey, let's stay too far apart in case we run into that thing————"

I whispered, preparing for the worst at the same time. The big man leaned over when he heard the sound, raised his bear's paw hand and patted me on the back, and I heard a dull thud in my chest,

"I'll do my best to hold it back, and you'll take advantage of the opportunity to slip around and find the two of them."

Somewhat surprised, I turned to look at the big man, who was looking ahead with a very solemn expression. In this delicate atmosphere, I wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but the two lips twitched for a long time and I didn't hold back a word, so I could only follow the cat and pat him on the shoulder with my backhand.

My series of performances made the big man stunned, and it took a while for him to show two rows of white teeth and laugh,

"Hahaha, little brother, you're almost like a gentleman after you talk less!"

Maybe it's the nerves that are too tense to make people weird, and I was amused by his funny tone.

"Heh, you are a grandson, and your nonsense is not much less than mine."

"Haha, huh? But little brother, don't call me that, it always sounds weird. ”

"Hey, you're not happy to praise you?"

"Well, that's fine."

The big man smiled bitterly and took two steps forward, the paws of his oars resting on the raised rocks at the entrance of the cave. The white light of the flashlight shone on his broad back, decorating him like a giant glowing with holy light.

"Ah———— it's time to go."

After a sigh, the deep voice of the big man came, and the smile that was still on my face gradually froze, because I knew that from this moment on, there would be no more time to wait, and the fragility of life would be vividly interpreted.

"Let's go!"

After speaking, the big man grabbed the iron rod with both hands and jumped into the cave, and most of his huge body sank in an instant. I didn't dare to delay at all, and raised my flashlight to chase after him two steps behind.

Before my brain could react, I was surrounded by a crowd of gravel around me. The walls of the cave were unusually wet, and I was almost slippery forward, dirt and stones tumbling from my feet, making a dense noise where the flashlight couldn't reach. I struggled to keep my balance, and there was only one thought left in my brain, which was drained of everything.

Run! Keep running!

The wild impulse replaced reason and fear, and I stared at the light drawn by the flashlight in front of me and sprinted non-stop. Suddenly, the slope of the cave increased sharply, and the already difficult road bent and diggled vertically downward.

Finished! I was shocked, and my arms waved weakly in the air, but I couldn't resist the pull of inertia after all. I raised my hand to protect my relatively fragile head before touching the hard ground, and a violent impact and friction ensued.

"!"

When I was thrown to pieces, the exclamation of the big man not far in front of me also sounded, I am afraid that his situation is similar to mine.

I tumbled on the rocky slope for I don't know how many times, but I felt something in my stomach rush out of it. But that wasn't the worst of all, when I finally reached the bottom of the cave, my left arm hit a rock, and the tearing pain made my nerves tremble all over my body, and the flashlight I was holding came out of the tiger's mouth and flew down to the sand a few meters away.

"Ah————h

I gritted my teeth, and my wails were chewed out of my teeth in several pieces. I subconsciously stretched out my right hand to support the injured part, but as soon as my fingers touched the swollen elbow joint, the heart-rending pain made my eyes dark.

"What's wrong? Little brother, are you alright? ”

The big man got up from not far away, didn't bother to get the flashlight that rolled down beside him, and moved towards me first.

"Arms! My arm! ”

The intense pain caused my features to twist into a ball, and cold sweat ran down the ends of my hair and lay on the ground. The big man must have guessed what was going on, so without saying a word, he took off the short sleeves on his body, wrapped around my injured left arm, and tied the two cuffs around the back of the neck to make a simple brace.

"Can you get up?"

I was a little surprised at his technique, and the big man with a worrying IQ knew how to deal with this emergency, and he did it so skillfully.

"But, yes, I'm fine, let's go!"

I staggered to my feet with the pain, and swayed in the direction of the flashlight, but the big man still didn't seem to be at ease to follow.

"Why don't I get it, you've already hung the lottery."

"I'm fine, let's go, it's not the time to say this————"

I grinned and picked up the flashlight, which was still as bright as ever, but as the light slowly moved, my attention was drawn to the big man's naked upper body———— which was tattooed with a huge green dragon coiled on his chest, the dragon's tail facing down around his waist, and the dragon's head facing upwards with its mouth wide open, as if holding the big man's head in his mouth.

"You're ......"

I'm becoming more and more curious about Dahan's former identity, and he must not have been a character to be messed with before his amnesia came here.

"Huh? What the? Forget it, let's go! Isn't there much that isn't clear? ”

The big man just looked down and stopped caring, and then impatiently walked forward to find a way out.

"Ah, too......"

The overflowing pain in my elbow made my brain dull a little, and I shook my head and lifted my flashlight to shine forward. I thought we were in a cavity connected to the cave before, but the slightly muddy air in it puzzled me.

"What's going on? It was obviously windy at the entrance of the cave just now, huh? ”

I looked at the big man in front of me who was scolding my mother and patting the stone wall, and an ominous thought gradually emerged. I began to panic and hurriedly looked to the left and right, and sure enough, there were dark stone walls a few meters away.

"Impossible...... Is it ......?"

Holding on to my last hope, I turned and directed the light of the flashlight behind me. But when the same stone wall was completely and completely displayed in front of me, I was still crushed by suffocating despair,

"Sleep! Trough! ”

I shouted hysterically, regardless of whether the monster from before was still nearby,

"You're tm! What's wrong! ”

The big man was so frightened by my scream that he covered his ears, and his expression was a little angry.

"We! We! I ......"

I tried to tell him what I saw, but I didn't say a full sentence for a long time because of the exaggerated agitation in my lungs. The big man was in a hurry, he ran to me, grabbed my shoulders with both hands and shook desperately,

"We? What's wrong with us?! You're talking about it! ”

"We're trapped here, you idiot! Here TMD is a dead end! Can't go up! ”

I saw the big man's pupils shrink into a point, and the movements of his hands stopped abruptly,

"What?"

"There's no one here...... It's a dead end, and it's impossible to go back. ”

I raised my right hand, and his gaze scanned in the direction of my flashlight.

"Do you see clearly?"

Dahan let go of his hand, and I didn't stand firm and fell to the ground again, and the wound that was affected hurt frantically. Through my blurred vision, I saw the big man walk up to a stone wall, raise his fist and slam it hard. But even he couldn't do anything, except for a few debris that slipped down from the fist joints, no miracle happened, and the stone wall remained unmoved.

“TMD......”

I hugged my left arm and listened to the big man cursing helplessly, but I couldn't stop laughing in my heart. After a long time, let alone saving people, even we will soon have to be set up here meaninglessly. What are these injuries, these struggles, efforts, and choices for? TM's fate!

"I ————"

Just as I was about to vent to my heart's content, the big man suddenly shouted in a low voice,

"Hey, quiet! You listen, it seems to have some sound. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing what he said, I immediately stopped this kind of broken jar and broken behavior, and pricked up my ears to listen carefully. In the silence, there really seemed to be some strange sound that could not be caught flashing rhythmically. This aroused my curiosity, and I leaned forward, half-kneeling on the ground and trying to make out the voice, which seemed to come from above, and was somewhat familiar......

Suddenly, as if a thunderclap exploded in my skull, my eyes widened, my jaw flared in horror at an angle that no human could complete, my tongue twisted in my mouth, but my voice was dumb and could only make some notes that had no meaning. Because I recognize it! This sound! It was the monster that came out as it crawled on the rock wall!

It's coming!
