The question is, who was discovered by the arrival of himself and others?

Is it an adventurer, or is it some powerful creature?

In the second half of the voyage, there are many powerful monsters that survive, which Ethan has long known, and these monsters will even hunt adventurers as prey, and Ethan is of course also within the hunting range of these monsters.

"Anyway, be careful!"

The strength of several people is very strong, but this does not mean that there is no need to be vigilant, how strong the monsters in this world can become, Ethan actually does not have an intuitive impression.

Considering that both Clyde and Beckford can travel back and forth on this route with ease, presumably these monsters can't really threaten themselves, and what you have to be careful of are some of the more weird abilities, even if they don't get hurt, they will be humiliating.

Wading through the cool water of the river to the cave for a while, the cave gradually became more open, and Ethan condensed a ball of light in the palm of his hand, allowing the ball of light to float above everyone's heads as illumination.

Ada put away the lighting equipment she had just taken out, and Ethan didn't seem to need to use it.

There was no sound in the dark, damp cave, only the rattling of a few people wading through the water, and Ethan kept turning his head to look left and right, and found that there was nothing to see here.

At the same time, he has been careful to sense the situation in the water, so as not to suddenly emerge from the water.

It turned out that the water of these rivers was extremely clear, not to mention monsters in the water, not even a little dirty thing could be seen, and the water was so clean that it seemed to be drunk without worrying about a bad stomach.

"It's like nothing. ”

Laura wasn't just observing, she was using her druid abilities to sense if there were any creatures or plants in the area.

As long as there are animals or plants, she can communicate with them and get some information.

As a result, she sensed for a long time, but she didn't feel anything, and there were only stones and water in this cave.

"Do you want to continue?"

"Of course!"

Laura wasn't afraid, this situation made her feel more interesting, and she was very much looking forward to a powerful monster living in the depths of the cave, and then showing off her cultivation results.

After walking for half an hour, they finally came to a very spacious cave, where there was a relatively high ground, and they did not have to continue to soak in the water.

"What is this?"

There is nothing on the platform except a rectangular object.

"There's no way anymore, and I've just checked, and the water is coming out of countless tiny holes, which are already the deepest part of the cave. ”

After walking around Ida and finding that it was impossible to move on, Ethan also saw that there were several small holes in the mountain wall that kept flowing clear water, and then gathered together to form the river they had just waded into.

"Then here's the secret of everything. ”

There was nothing, just a cuboid, and the most problematic thing in this place seemed to be.

According to Ethan's senses, the energy hidden in the water was released by the thing in front of him.

"Could it be that this rectangular stone is hiding a magic stone inside?"

Ethan reached out and touched the stone lightly, and suddenly realized that it was not a stone at all, and in his eyes, it would take on the appearance of a stone, an 'illusion' released by this thing.

As Ethan reached over to touch the hand, the huge stone suddenly twisted, and then as Ethan released a trace of magic to impact the 'image', the distortion and shaking of the image became more intense, and finally dissipated, revealing the true face of the 'illusion'.

"...... this?"

"Looks like a high-tech facility. Ethan looked at the rectangular device with a very sci-fi sense, and kept observing in circles: "The energy used is very similar to the magic stone, but it is a little different. ”

Looking back and forth, Ethan found a suspicious switch and pressed it lightly.

With Ethan's movements, the sci-fi facility suddenly let out a roar, followed by a burst of white gas released from the bottom position.

Ethan, Ada, and Laura immediately stepped back and pulled away, but they then realized that the smoke was not threatening other than a little cold.

"This ......" Ida looked at the facility that was slowly opening, and she suddenly thought of the countless movies she had seen at the beginning, "This thing can't be a frozen dormancy chamber or something, right?"

Ethan felt that way, too, especially since the lid was open and looked too much like a dormant pod or something like that in a movie.

After the lid of this device was really opened, revealing the situation inside, Ethan sighed helplessly: "You guessed it, this is indeed a dormant chamber. ”

He had already felt the breath of life re-emanating from inside, and the breath was showing an obvious recovery trend, and it seemed that it was a living person lying inside.

When Ethan got closer again, he found a young girl lying inside, with beautiful blonde hair, dressed in a white dress with some beautiful floral decorations, as well as some patterns and patterns on her chest and shoulders.

While she was pondering what these patterns meant, the girl in the dormant chamber had already opened her eyes. Maybe she had slept for too long, and suddenly seeing the light made her feel uncomfortable, she raised her hand to cover it, and then blinked for a while before she opened her eyes again and looked at Ethan who was standing in front of her.

"Rescue team?" the girl was about to get up, but her arms were weak and she couldn't stand up: "Hell, how long have I been dormant, and how did the rescue team become so ineffective?"

Ethan looked up slightly and glanced at Ada on the other side, the girl inadvertently revealing something.

At this time, it seems that he should pretend to be a rescuer to get more information, but Ethan doesn't like this, and he doesn't mean to do anything bad.

"You may be mistaken, I'm not part of a rescue team. ”

"Not the rescue team?" the girl lay down for a while, and after regaining a little strength, she seemed to be groping for something at hand, and after a while she found a syringe, then pulled up her sleeve a little, pointed the syringe at her wrist and pressed it.

After she had done these things, her pale face seemed to look a little better, and the girl's condition seemed to have improved a lot, and she even regained her mobility, and was finally able to sit up.

Gently rubbing her eyes again, as if she had just adapted to the light and regained her sight, the girl looked at Ethan in surprise.

"Not from the rescue team?"

Looking Ethan up and down...... Forehead...... Very casual clothes, and then turned to look at Ada and Laura on the other side.

Laura was also dressed casually, with a T-shirt and cropped pants, and there was nothing to catch the eye except for a strange animal on top of her head.

Ada's outfit was nothing special at first glance, but the black combat uniform under the red shirt still caught the girl's attention: "You are also students who are being assessed?"

The girl looked left and right a few more times, and then looked at Ada carefully...... Combat uniforms on the body.

"Where is this combat uniform you wearing? Why can't I recognize the brand?"

"Our team made it ourselves. Ida casually resolved the problem, and it didn't make the girl feel that something was wrong.

"No wonder. ”

The girl moved her body slightly, and then little by little she crawled out of the sleeping chamber, and pressed it down somewhere, and the thick lid opened again, and opened a part of it, which contained shoes and other items.

The girl put on her shoes in front of Ethan, and then jumped on the ground and jumped lightly, but her feet were weak and she almost fell, thanks to Ethan's gentle tugging, the beautiful little girl did not fall to the ground in embarrassment.

"Thank you!"

Thanking her softly, the girl straightened her clothes again, and then introduced herself to Ethan.

"I'm Betty, a battleship piloting scientist at the Imperial Military Academy, and I appreciate your help. ”

Ethan watched Betty make a gesture that might have been a salute to himself, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, "I don't think you may have figured out the current situation." ”

Seeing that Ethan did not return the salute in the way she was most familiar with, Betty sensed that something was wrong, and although she did not distance herself from the others, she turned her body slightly, not letting her back face any of Ethan and them.

This is a girl with a certain combat quality, and Ethan can also detect Betty's hand slowly touching his weapon.

"Don't be nervous, we don't have malicious intent. ”

Gently spread out his hand, indicating that he had no weapon in his hand, and lit his hand where the other party could see it, which also showed that he had no malicious intent.

This action seems to be common to any civilization in any universe, and Betty was indeed slightly relieved when she saw Ethan's movement, but she still looked at everyone vigilantly.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Who the hell are you, and why are you here?"

Ethan already had some guesses, but he wanted to get more accurate information from the girl's mouth.

Betty frowned, looking at Ethan with her ocean-blue eyes.

"I'm a cadet at the Imperial Military Academy, and I'm taking an exam here...... Aren't you students of the academy? This can't be! There's no way outsiders can come in here......"

Betty didn't wait for Ethan to answer, she suddenly turned her head to look at her dormant chamber, and after fiddling with it, a hologram appeared on the lid of the chamber, revealing a string of data.

The text shown on it was the text used in this world, and Ethan could certainly read it, so he noticed one of the stats on it: it had been dormant for eight hundred and seventy-three years.
