After fighting all the way, Chu Xuan and Hei Xue Ji finally arrived at the legendary cave when it was just getting dark.

Oddly enough, as it gets dark, there are fewer and fewer monkeys in the mountains and forests – but rightfully so, as the monkeys have to go home and sleep at night.

Chu Xuan...... Do you think there are snakes or something in this cave?

Why don't we camp in this clearing outside the cave? I just wanted to go camping. ”

Although it may be a little more comfortable to spend the night in a cave with a roof above than in the wilderness, when Hei Xue Ji saw the dark and deep cave that didn't know where it led, a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he suggested to Chu Xuan with an unnatural smile.

"If you like camping in the open air, it's open, but before we can do that, we need to briefly explore the cave."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, then took out two hand-held magic lamps that looked like horse lanterns, and handed one of them to Hei Xue Ji.

"Okay, thank you, Chu Xuan."

Hei Xue Ji just didn't want to be sleeping at night, when she suddenly had snakes or insects crawling around her - after all, this cave looked quite damp, and she could feel a breath of moisture when she stood at the entrance of the cave, but she was actually not afraid to enter the cave, so she accepted Chu Xuan's arrangement without hesitation.

"There is a lot of humidity in the cave, and there may be an underground river in the depths, which is not suitable for habitation."

Chu Xuan walked inside for a while with the magic lamp in front of him, and then said in a mechanical voice that was as smooth and uninhibited as ever without looking back.

"Uh...... Chu, Chu Xuan, can you get closer.

When you're far away, your voice seems to be a little terrifying. ”

Hei Xue Ji, who was following behind, was startled by Chu Xuan's somewhat eerie voice after being reflected by the cave wall, and said with a slightly pale face.

"Horror?"

Chu Xuan, who was carrying the lamp, turned his head, and the not-so-bright white light shone on Chu Xuan's expressionless poker face from bottom to top, and with Chu Xuan's reflective glasses, it looked particularly terrifying.

"Well, horror."

Hei Xue Ji nodded very affirmatively, if it weren't for the fact that the man with facial paralysis glasses in front of her was Chu Xuan, she might have jumped up in fright now.

- It's not that Chu Xuan is speaking ill or anything, but in some specific times and places, a guy like Chu Xuan, who is always expressionless and reflective, gives people a feeling of being as cold and cold as a zombie.

"Well, then, let's get closer."

Chu Xuan was not angry at Hei Xue Ji's big truth, he stopped, and waited for Hei Xue Ji to come to his side before continuing to walk forward.

Hei Xue Ji, who had been paying close attention to Chu Xuan, silently walked side by side with him diagonally down for another distance, and finally opened her mouth again with a slightly red face:

"Na~ Chu Xuan, don't you think it's getting hotter and hotter here? And it seems to have a strange smell......"

"What's the problem?

There are likely hot springs in the depths of this cave, and it stands to reason that the further down you go, the hotter it gets.

What you smell is the smell of sulfur. ”

At this time, Chu Xuan's face was also a little more ruddy than usual, but he hadn't sweated yet, and the moisture in the cave had become a little warm now, which meant that there was a place below where hot water was constantly bubbling out.

But he didn't hear the slightest sound of the water, so it would have been more likely that there was a hot spring lake below than a hot spring river.

"Hot springs! Is it really a hot spring?

In the vicinity of the 'Origin Town' and several nearby cities, there are no hot springs yet! ”

As soon as I heard that there was a hot spring, Kuroyukihime's eyes lit up all of a sudden, should this really be said to be the person......

"Chu Xuan, can you please speed up!"

Attracted by the hot spring, Hei Xue Ji was a little anxious to urge Chu Xuan, who was still going down unhurriedly, but even if she wanted to run down to find the hot spring, she still didn't go in front of Chu Xuan, she was really a well-informed lady.

"Don't let your guard down, although we haven't heard of any monsters or bosses occupying this cave where you can find some kind of material that is perfect for crafting weapons, if there is no danger at all, then it should have become a mine that the 'earthmen' have already built."

Probably because it wasn't for him, Chu Xuan didn't get excited because of a mere hot spring, and still restrained Hei Xueji very calmly.

However, it wasn't until the two of them finally saw the hot spring lake at the end of the cave that they didn't encounter any monsters or bosses.

"Wow ~ so big! I can't even see the edge! ”

After arriving at the edge of the steaming hot spring lake, Kuroyukihime's eyes widened and she couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

Because there was no light source that could emit light in the cave, and there was still water vapor bubbling out of the water surface, the visibility was really not high, even with Chu Xuan's eyesight, he couldn't see dozens of meters away with a small magic lamp.

If it weren't for the fact that the end of this cave is unusually wide and the roof of the cave is quite high, then this place would be no different from a sauna, and staying for a long time will only make people feel breathless.

"Ah, the water temperature is just right, and the water is slippery, and the pool is not deep, so it's a perfect hot spring."

Hei Xue Ji squatted down, put her hand into the hot spring and tried it, then turned her head happily and said to Chu Xuan.

At this time, Chu Xuan didn't pay attention to the hot spring at all, but held up the magic lantern high and looked up at the top of the cave.

"Chu Xuan? What are you looking at? ”

Kuroyukihime looked up in confusion, but all he could see was pitch black, there was no light source at the top of the cave, and it was shrouded in rising water vapor, and the clouds and mist seemed very meaningful, and it almost made people forget that this was actually in the cave.

However, Chu Xuan obviously didn't like these water vapors, he frowned and looked at them for a while before he put down the lantern and said lightly to Hei Xue Ji:

"While I'm almost certain that there are no monsters or bosses in this cave, you're still too lax right now.

I just wanted to check out the top of the cave, and if there's a boss here, that's the most likely place to hide.

And we didn't see any ore of suspected metal along the way, nor in this shallow bottomless hot spring lake, so the most likely place is also the top of the cave.

The top of the cave is supposed to be calcareous, and when the water vapor in the hot spring lake rises, it will gradually dissolve the limestone, so that the stalactite pillars in the cave are formed, and the metal ore will naturally be exposed. (To be continued.) )
