The world in the lower layer of the cave is completely different from the upper level. In the upper layer of the cave, you can occasionally encounter the faint light projected from the cracks in the rock wall, and you can also encounter the torches that the adventurers who have gone ahead and are about to burn out in the passage, plus their own torches to illuminate, in general, although the cave is dim, but with the physical fitness of the girls of the golden level, they can still see the surrounding environment clearly.

Now entering the lower level of the cave, the surroundings are dark, only a few meters around his body is shrouded in a hazy light, he can still see things clearly, beyond the range of light, he can still see a vague black outline within twenty meters, and a little farther away, there is only a pitch black.

Now the four of them were leaning against the wall of the exit, but there was nothing in front of them, and they could only see the ground stretching under their feet, but they didn't know where it led. Looking left and right, it was the same pitch black, completely unaware of whether it was a wall, a cliff, or a myriad of strange creatures that only existed in the imagination, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

Some people believe that the greatest fear of living beings comes from the unknown, and this statement is indeed very true. The fear of the unknown in the darkness made the hearts of the three girls beat fast, and they leaned tightly against the rock wall behind them, only a solid rock wall could give them a little illusory sense of security.

"What the hell is this place. Lina was startled by her voice. In the dead silence of the cavern, Lina's screams were rather harsh, causing faint echoes on the rock walls.

"Shhhh Pannis stopped Lina's exclamation, and her voice was very low: "Forgot what you said before you came? ”

Pointing to the darkness above his head, Pannis continued to explain: "The stones above are somewhat very sharp, falling from the sky, and even if you are wearing helmets, you will be pierced from head to toe, as far as I know, an adventurer was crucified like this a few years ago. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's fake, how can there be only one, and a few die like this every year. But don't worry too much, the wind breaking sound when the stone falls is very loud, and it can usually be dodged. Come, this is for you. Pannis handed each of the three girls a small paper bag: "Sprinkle it on your clothes." ”

The girls didn't hesitate and did just that. Vivien finished sprinkling the powder in the paper packet, and put the paper bag under her nose and sniffed: "There are ingredients in the fraud potion in it." Is this demonic camouflage powder? We didn't use it very much before. ”

"That's right, it's used to simulate demonic energy, so that as long as we don't get too close, the monsters can't detect our anomalies through energy sensing. Pannis tapped the rock wall beside him and began to walk forward: "This is a stone cave, quite large, but it is just a pocket, and there is only one hole to get out. There are very few monsters that can get in here, but once you get out, you have to be careful at all times, and there is no safety at all. ”

"You have to be very careful when you walk here, and you can walk a little slower when you start to get unfamiliar, and don't rush. Every time you take a step, you must first observe your feet, sometimes there are holes in the ground, the deepest is nearly 100 meters, and there are very sharp stalagmites below, and you will basically die if you fall into it. After observing the feet, you also have to look at the head, sometimes some stalagmites will hang down from the roof of the cave, if you don't want to...... Well, if you don't want to run headfirst like Miss Lina, you have to see clearly before moving forward. ”

The sound of Suosuo's walking sounded again, and the halo that represented the four people began to move forward slowly and slowly. After walking more than ten meters, the girls found that they were like a lonely boat lost in the angry sea, there was an empty space on all sides, and it was completely impossible to distinguish between the front and the back, and the boundless darkness was like the deepest nightmare, weighing heavily on the girls' hearts. The girls' eyes were constantly wandering and watching, as if at any moment a terrifying creature would jump out of the darkness and pounce on them. Many times, the girls turned their gaze in the direction behind them, trying to escape back to the side of the rock wall and let a false sense of security encircle them again, but the dignity of the profession prevented them from retreating. Only the back of Pannis's hazy light in front of him was slowly moving forward, without hesitation or stopping.

"It's pitch black, there's no light. ”

"The world of the void, no life, no elements, no forward and backward directions"

There was no music, just a soft hum in front of him. The song of Yarra sounded in the darkness, dispelling the uneasiness in the hearts of the girls a little, and the light that represented the direction of the girls no longer swayed around. A group of four people staggered forward in a low singing.

"There's something coming up ahead. Catherine suddenly saw that in the haze, a huge black shadow pressed towards the four people, and hurriedly shouted, the knight's sword had come from his waist to his hand.

"It's just a rock wall. Pannis stepped forward without any movement: "The rock wall will not come, it is just an illusion in the dark." ”

"Whew. Catherine withdrew her weapon and wiped her forehead, "Sorry, a little nervous. ”

Pannis shook his head and said nothing, walked to the edge of the rock wall, crouched down and searched for a moment, pointed to a gap and said, "We're going to get through here." ”

"Here?" Lina exclaimed, looking at the low and narrow gap in front of her, "How is this possible." ”

"It's crawling over. Pannis reached out and took away a few pieces of gravel in the gap: "There is still a lot of ground to climb in the back, scared?"

"Cai, I'm not afraid. Lina said stiffly: "Miss Ben is just, just a little surprised, how can she be afraid." ”

Ignoring Lina's duplicity, Pannis leaned over and lay on the ground, writhing like a snake a few times, and burrowed into the gap, and the voice came from the gap: "I go first, Miss Catherine last, Miss Lina and Miss Vivien go in the middle." You are a spell department, so be careful. ”

"Even if you worry about Miss Ben, Miss Ben won't be happy. Lina looked at the gap and hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and pulled Vivian over: "Vivian, you are small, you go first." ”

Vivien glared at Lina by the light, and probed in front of the gap for a while, and found that the size was enough to accommodate a person to crawl forward and even be very spacious, so she climbed in with confidence, and asked, "Pennis, what if you encounter an enemy at this time?"

"If you have room to move your hand, attack the opponent. Pannis's voice came from below the front: "If there is no space, open your magic shield and quickly climb forward or backward, if not, pray to the gods you believe in." ”

"Pannis. Lina sounded like she had climbed into the gap, "This path is down, and we're not going to fall headfirst down, are we?"

"It's not that steep. "Pannis climbed very fast, and the sound became farther and farther away.

"Mr. Pannis, you'd better slow down, Vivien is in second, she can't climb that fast. Catherine's voice rang out at the end of the team: "And Lina, you should say a few words." I'll lift the ban on you reading in the cave, and you'll find a way to change it when you rest at night, you're so abnormal today. ”

"What's the matter, big sister. Lina was a little dissatisfied in front of her: "I think I'm quite normal." ”

"It's just an illusion in the dark. Catherine quickly learned the phrase: "You've never been normal, and today is extraordinarily abnormal." Now shut up and concentrate on climbing. ”

None of the four spoke again, and they struggled through the narrow gap one after another. At first, the girls felt that although it was difficult to climb in the gaps, it was much better than the feeling of being empty and dark just now, at least there were real rock walls all around, and they felt very safe. However, after crawling for twenty minutes, an indescribable anxiety rose in the hearts of the girls, there was no end to the front and back, the rock walls around them were unchanged, and the monotonous numbness of repeating the same movements forwarded was all the same, and all kinds of effects made their sense of time greatly extended, and even felt that they had been crawling in the crevices for hours.

How far have you climbed? How long will you have to climb? Are you lost? Will you be trapped in this passage where you can't even sit up? Can you go out again? Is this a passage to hell? Although the girls have experienced countless adventures, stepped into danger many times, and their will has been honed very firmly, in the terrifying darkness, all kinds of thoughts still quietly appear in the minds of the girls, gnawing at their courage.

"Pay attention. Pannis's voice saved the girls' tormented hearts in hell: "The front is almost here." ”

"Hahaha, Denya has mercy. Lina, apparently forgetting Catherine's order, laughed excitedly. But immediately she tasted the bitter fruit of her forgetfulness, and before she could stop laughing, she hit her head against the raised rock: "Oh, bastard. ”

"Be careful ahead. Pannis reminded: "The passage ahead is full of water and it is very muddy, so be careful to hold your breath and close your eyes." You only need to continue to climb in the water for less than a minute to get out of this gap. The exit is at the bottom of a waterhole, the waterhole is not deep, and the water surface is not more than the chest when you stand up, so you don't need to be nervous. ”

"Miss Ben is not nervous, isn't it just water? Miss Ben is not afraid. Lina rubbed her head, not forgetting to say a hard word. Unfortunately, with the sound of water, Pannis was already submerged in the water and could not hear her words.

When Catherine was the last to enter the water, she found that the water was very cold, and even though she was wearing waterproof clothes, she was still shivering from the cold water, and her speed couldn't help but speed up a little. Sure enough, after crawling with my eyes closed, I felt that the terrain became gentle from downward, and finally became inclined upward, and after climbing a few more steps, I suddenly felt that there was nothing in front of me, and my upper body had broken free from the gap rock wall that bound my body, and after a few more hard steps under my feet, the whole person successfully got out of the gap.

Kicking the bottom of the pool, Catherine successfully stood up in the pool, picked up Lina, who was still struggling in waist-deep water, and the first thing she said was: "It's finally out, I really thought it would climb until the end of time." Never want to climb again. ”

The second sentence came when she opened her eyes and looked around: "It's beautiful!"

It wasn't just Catherine who gave out the praise, but the three girls of Nelly's adventure group gave the same praise almost at the same time. After leaving the waterhole, the environment was completely different from the darkness just now, and an almost new world unfolded before their eyes with exclamations, a new, dream-like and beautiful world.
