Chapter 15 15: [Havok Cave] Start exploring the cave
As the three of them walked deeper and deeper, the last bit of light from the outside world was gradually left behind them.
The clothes on their bodies were soaked with water and clung heavily to their bodies. Although they would not catch a cold, the cold and sticky feeling on their skin was constantly consuming their energy silently.
People will always be afraid of the unknown, but at the same time they will also have secret expectations.
This is how Anji feels at this moment. In this environment where everything is pitch dark and can only be illuminated by the candle in her hand, she can clearly feel her adrenaline rushing. Besides being nervous, she is even more excited.
Although she used to yearn for adventure, she only enjoyed watching other people's videos online and did not dare to try it herself.
But since coming to this world, she has experienced various things and gradually transformed into something she had never imagined. Now she can naturally explore various places in the name of becoming stronger.
This is something she would never have been able to do in her original world.
Gusts of cold wind blew in the deep, dark cave, but the candlelight in their hands did not waver at all, which made Anji feel a little more at ease.
"Barton, since you don't know the characteristics of this cave, why did you bring us here?"
Although Barton usually seems to be carefree, Anji always feels that there must be a reason for him to choose this place.
"With your current level, the most you can do is come to a third-level alien realm for training. And this cave is the closest level three alien realm to our Grosk Territory! How about it, I'm very careful~"
While explaining to Anji, Barton also praised himself, "I'm doing this all for your own good! You are a trainee knight now, and what you need most is military merit. As long as you can find treasures in this cave, hand them over to Sly
Lord De, you can naturally become a knight! This is the fastest way!"
Of course, this way he can show off everywhere that the youngest knight in the Grosk Territory is the good apprentice he single-handedly brought out.
After opening up the conversation, he started talking nonsense again and again, destroying the mysterious and gloomy atmosphere of this third-level foreign land by 70 to 80%.
From this point of view, Patton is definitely an excellent team leader.
The terrain of this cave was relatively simple. They went straight forward and reached the deepest part smoothly.
I saw that the road was cut off from here, and there was a bottomless pit going down, as if it was leading to the depths of the earth.
Barton and Sean stood at the edge of the pit and looked down, with complicated expressions. The plate armor they had managed to save had once again become a burden.
Anji ignored them and quickly took off her armored shoes. She didn't want to wear this hole. If the soles of her feet slipped, there was no guarantee of a second chance to cross.
Seeing that the youngest Anji had set an example, they could only lament and take off the outermost armor and iron boots, leaving only the helmet and the chain mail inside, and went into battle lightly.
"Alas... you knights... what should I say..."
As early as before, during the battle between Scott and Silver Wolf, Angie felt that there was something wrong with the brains of these knights. They were obviously fighting at close range at that time, wouldn't it be better to just throw away the sword?
Is this just trying to save face and suffer the consequences?
"No, Angie..." After listening to her statement, Barton's mouth twitched a few times, "Scott is an exception, although the saying that knights will not die with bare hands does exist."
"But most importantly, have you ever thought about how expensive this equipment is?"
…?
"If it's broken or lost, you'll have to pay for it."
Anji was silent for a long time, taking a look at the equipment that had just been taken off. The image of Slade asking her for a debt came to mind, and she couldn't help but shudder.
"Just... just come back and get it later!"
She vowed that she would take good care of these big babies in the future and never let the above scene appear in reality.
Only then did the hemp rope that had been tied around Barton's waist come in handy. They tied the rope tightly to a thick rock nearby, put the candle in their mouths, and climbed down the rope.
The cave wind blowing upward from the depths became stronger and stronger, and gradually turned from inaudible to a roaring wind. Thick water mist floated around them, and water droplets continued to fall from the top of the cave, falling straight into them
In the abyss below, a few drops occasionally rolled down to the puddles in the grooves of the stone wall, making an ethereal ticking sound, adding a chilly atmosphere to the damp cave.
They held the rough rope tightly with both hands, stepped on the rugged rock wall, and slowly descended. Fortunately, the rock formation here was very solid, and they did not encounter the situation of missing the point when they stepped down.
Three reckless young amateurs used the most basic props, and with the support of physiques far beyond ordinary people, they forcibly descended to a position two hundred meters above the ground.
Although the hemp rope that had been used as a necklace by the giant could be extended forever, it was also gradually getting thinner. So when they reached the first platform where they could rest, they unanimously decided not to continue going down.
Looking up, the sedimentary structure of the steep rock wall is extremely obvious, rising up layer by layer, and finally extending into the boundless darkness, as if it is a tunnel leading to the abyss.
"Huh... ha... so tired..."
When Barton found a resting place, he immediately took off the candle in his mouth and expressed his inner emotions while panting. It wasn't that he was really tired, but that he was mentally exhausted from being unable to speak along the way.
Anji silently wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. She didn't dare to exert force while holding the candle in her mouth, for fear that it would be broken by herself. But if she didn't exert force, the candle would easily fall. Half of the mental exhaustion along the way was attributed to
This candle.
If I had known better, I should have brought some more rope and tied the candle to my body.
At this time, there was rugged ground under their feet, and a lot of water had accumulated in the pits of different depths, which looked very clear. Anji picked a puddle that he had never stepped on before, squatted down, and drank the water. The cold liquid
It entered her body along her throat and instantly made her energetic.
The water surface under the candlelight took on an orange-yellow tone. In this shallow puddle, she saw her face for the first time.
This is a little girl with a thin cheek. You can vaguely see her deep blue eyes, straight bridge of nose, thin lips, and the scabbed irregular wound on her left forehead.
Looking at this unfamiliar face, Anji pinched her face with both hands and pulled it to both sides. The water surface honestly reflected the appearance of the girl who was making faces, which convinced her that this was her face.
Sean, who was observing the surroundings, happened to see this scene and looked away in embarrassment. It seemed that the thunder had indeed caused some irreversible damage to her.
But few fearless people are normal people, and this level of stupidity is nothing.
Counting the time spent resting at the entrance of the cave, it had been four hours since they entered this third-level alien realm, and the speed was quite satisfactory.
At this moment, Barton, who was carefully observing the rock wall, made a discovery.
"You two, come here quickly! There is a crack here that people can enter!"
