Chapter 33: The Cave

If the legendary pirate Bodean has indeed become a god, then his route may be involved in both ways. This is a relatively new path to godhood, and the basis of Bodean's godhood is force on the one hand, and fame similar to faith on the other.

Faith is the greatest meaning of a religion, but religion is not the same as faith. As long as people believe in the existence and miracles of a certain god, and spread it by word of mouth, then the belief already exists.

That's what the legendary pirate Bodean did, and countless people in the Baldur's Gate region believe in his legendary experience and pass it down from generation to generation, which in fact constitutes faith.

If Bodean hadn't fallen, he would have given up his real name and become a god of the current ocean god system, or he had temporarily become a holy spirit form, waiting for the opportunity to replace a god.

He lived only a few hundred years ago, and it was a fairly short process for the Holy Spirit and the gods.

Of course, this qiē has nothing to do with the Assassin, all he really wants is a possible legacy of Bodean, and martial arts are secondary, with the focus on the notes of the legendary pirate's career path.

Thinking of this, the assassin no longer hesitated, his figure disappeared in place, and chased in the direction of Qin Lun and the others. In any case, the team ahead is his only clue now.

……

"Qin Lun, you don't have it now, our mission hasn't disappeared yet!" Hill communicates with the two companions on the team channel.

"Hmm!" Qin Lun nodded, in the taskbar of the death list, the "Bodean's trace" was still there. They have now moved out of the Land of the Dead and into the territory of the Troll's Claw, suggesting that the Pirate Legends may have been here as well.

Although none of the group, including Mastasya, reproduced any new clues, their soul imprints connected to the shattered starry sky. Perhaps at some point, inadvertently, they had seen the traces left by Bodean, and the apostle could not identify them, which did not mean that the starry sky could not be measured.

"In the current situation, we don't need to deliberately look for clues about Bodean, and the biggest benefit of this mission is that it saves us time on our stay." The three of them were a little helpless, after this adventure in the Land of the Dead, they had realized the danger here.

If it weren't for the Illistin matter, with the shrewdness of the three of them, I am afraid that they would choose the safest route to withdraw from the troll's claws. In this kind of place, their strength is still a little insufficient, and they are hunted down by legendary creatures at every turn, which is really beyond the scope of their ability.

"Hehe, isn't it a little discouraged, no matter how much your strength improves, you always feel like you'll be crushed by the mission world!" Qin Lun thought about it and couldn't help but say.

"Indeed!" Ciel and Rand looked at each other and smiled bitterly, if it weren't for the ninth-order magic scroll last night, the Meteor Fall, there would definitely be dead among them. Without the help of external objects, whether it is Qin Lun's demonic transformation, or the hole cards of Hill and Rand themselves, they will not be able to compete with the ghost-faced squid.

"Be prepared that if you can find a truly epic quest next, then this adventure has just begun." Qin Lun sighed and cautiously reminded the two companions.

As the three of them spoke, they saw the thieves who were exploring the way ahead rushing towards them.

"There is no road ahead, but there are two more caves." Lago's words were somewhat contradictory, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

It's just that when everyone turned a small corner of the canyon crack, they immediately understood what the thieves meant. There was indeed no road ahead, and a steep mountain wall completely blocked the way, as if the extension of the crack in the mountain had come to an end.

However, on the left and right sides of the mountain wall, there is a small cave. Judging from the traces near the cave, it seems that it is not a beast's den, but it is artificially excavated, because the shape is relatively regular.

Of course, the two holes are unusually dilapidated, covered in cobwebs and moss, and apparently no one has visited them for a long time.

"Could it be the relics left by Bodean?" Largo thought of something like treasure again, and his narrow eyes lit up, more like curiosity than greed.

Seeing the thief's expression, it suddenly made Qin Lun and the others feel strange in their hearts. The three bloodthirsty mercenaries they hired were indeed interesting, few of them could resist the temptation of the treasure, and there were actually three of them in front of them at once.

"Let's take a break and let my hunting companions scout for us." Qin Lun thought for a while, then he built a team to stop and rest, anyway, they walked for most of the day, and the sky was dark.

The summoned Shadow Wind Leopard made Winnie's eyes shine brightly, and she liked this big cat with beautiful fur. It's a pity that Venus is not close to people, and the appearance of grinning teeth makes the female mage feel kinky and dare not get too close.

After most of the night, Venus finally finished exploring the cave on the left, there were no traps in it, and it was a dead end.

However, according to the consciousness conveyed by the Shadow Wind Leopard, there seems to be something strange inside this cave. Venus didn't quite understand what those things represented, it only knew that it was artificial.

"Treasure, treasure!" Before he could finish listening to Qin Lun's words, the thief looked at each other, and one dodged into the cave, making everyone smile bitterly, knowing that it was not dawn yet.

Mastasia made a torch out of a few scattered dead branches in the canyon and led the crowd inside. Even though Venus had stated that there were no traps inside, the crowd still seemed a little cautious. Warcraft is different from the size of humans, and who knows if there is a trap set up specifically for humanoids.

Entering the depths of the cave, everyone finally saw the artificial creation that the Shadow Wind Leopard had said, and they were all faintly disappointed in their hearts. There is no treasure here, it looks like a ruined altar, and it is a place that has been abandoned.

The altar is in the shape of a stepped form, and according to Mastasia's observations, it is not like a human altar, but a more ancient and primitive place of worship, most likely a place where trolls pay homage to their ancestors.

The group searched the cave, and there was hardly anything of value here. A few broken clay pots that were almost fossilized, some pieces of meat that had been specially made and dried into mummies, and two candlesticks that were supposedly carved from the calf bones of trolls.

At first, some people didn't believe that it was a troll's calf bone, how could there be a reason for carving the bones of a clansman, even if it was a non-human creature, it was too ruinous.

However, Mastasha explained that this was not necessarily the ancestral bones of the sacrificial tribe, but could also belong to a hostile tribe. The various tribes of trolls will fight each other, and it is not uncommon for the bones of each other's warriors to be made into sacrificial objects.

"If this cave is a place of worship that the trolls have previously excavated, then another cave may have access to the inside of the troll's claws." Mastasha quickly thought of a possibility.

The crowd did not hesitate any longer, and immediately exited the cave and headed towards the cave on the right side of the mountain wall. Qin Lun recalled Venus and maintained the Shadow Wind Leopard's existence in the middle of the night, which made him a little overwhelmed.

"It's a pity my hunting buddies aren't here." Mastasia felt a little sorry that the magic mouth that everyone had seen before entering the Land of the Dead was her hunting partner. It's just that the environment in the Land of the Dead isn't suitable for the Devil's Mouth, so Mastasha didn't bring it in.

After entering another cave, the pathfinders were replaced by Qin Lun and Mastaxia. Despite the presence of several torches, the sight of the two elves was clearly more effective than that of the thieves.

This cave is different from the previous one, although there are some traces of artificial carving at the entrance of the cave, but inside, it is a large karst cave. The space is very large, the cave is dozens of meters high, more than ten meters wide, the ground is a little rugged, and some huge stalagmites can be seen from time to time.

Some of the stalagmites converge with the stalactites hanging upside down from the top of the cave to form a stone pillar with two thick ends and a narrow middle. The scene was so magical that both Hill and Rand couldn't help but think of some of the Earth Federation's underground caves.

Of course, to this day, those places have long since become famous tourist attractions.

As we went deeper into the cave, everyone was relaxed, and it seemed that there were no artificial traps here. Trolls don't seem to be as cautious as the other intelligent races of the Great Feren 6, and perhaps the powerful physique given by the world of Torreel has made them neglect to use their tools and the natural environment around them.

"Ouch!" Just as everyone was a little relaxed, Winnie suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

She had just kicked something at her feet, and it flew far away, smashing into the stone wall of the cave with a loud "boom" that echoed far through the cave.

"What is this?" The mage took two steps forward and leaned down to pick up the object she had just kicked.

"Jurassic shoulder blades?" Rick said with some uncertainty.

Not uncommon in Ferron 6, the Jurassic is a beast that resembles a mouse in appearance, but is the size of a wild boar. Timid and mild-tempered, omnivores, many inns use them to make delicious soups and jerky.

"Silence, I think I heard something?" From a pathfinder to a broken thief, he suddenly frowned, listening intently to the subtle movements.

Everyone paused, and since Largo said so, it was obviously not the sound that Winnie had just made. Qin Lun's left eye flashed with light, and the mirror image of the cave hundreds of meters in front of him turned into black and white, reflecting in his eyes.

"This is ......" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and whispered, "There are animal bones and remains everywhere in front, this seems to be a special restaurant, I think we are in trouble!" ”

"Restaurant? Cave ......" Masasia's face changed and he said vigilantly, "Philal, if you look at the top of the cave, can you find some holes the size of a fist?" ”

Qin Lun's eyes flickered for a while, lowered his head, and said solemnly: "You are right, there are those holes you mentioned in many places above, and there are at least hundreds of them. ”
