The bottom of the pit is smaller than expected. Compared with the area of ​​1,000 square meters at the entrance, the bottom of the pit is only six or seven hundred square meters, which is indeed much smaller. Looking up from the bottom of the cave, the blue sky only reveals a small piece of it within the opening, and it looks particularly small in comparison with the four walls of the pit.

The bottom of the pit was covered with exposed rocks, without any trace of plant growth. A small number of leaves floating from the surrounding dense forests were piled up at the bottom of the pit. The fallen leaves had already rotted into mud, emitting a strange smell.

"It's very wet here." Catherine twisted a little corrupt leaves with her fingers and put them under her nose to smell it: "There is no sign of dryness and dehydration, and it is completely rotten."

"A pit of such a deep, the sun shines directly on the sun for too short." Panis kicked away a stone that had been still for many years. Although the moist soil was spread under the stone, no insects survived: "It seems that there are some problems here, there are no moss, no trees, and there are no insects everywhere. I just don't know if it's the case in this pit, or the seven are like this."

"Why is this happening?" Catherine lifted a few more stones, and there was indeed no visible creature: "Is it true that there is still devastating power here as Elard said?"

"It's not that exaggerated. If there is a special force that affects the human body, I will definitely feel it." Panis shook his head and pointed to several rotten leaves and said: "And you see, those leaves are rotten, which means that there are still normal fungi that can survive here. As for the lack of signs of ordinary animals and plants, it is probably because some minerals are buried underground, which will cause the soil to be affected and changed, causing plants to die, and let animals instinctively hate here. At least, judging from the current situation, there will be no problem with the activity here in a short period of time."

"So sure?" Catherine was a little unbelievable, but following Panis's gaze, she immediately understood. The location where Panis was looking was the corner of the rock wall of the pit, where there were several inconspicuous blackened traces, and there were even some wreckage of small animal bones and some domestic garbage left behind.

"For the past thirty years, at least two groups of people have been camping here, and they are not in a hurry to leave." Panis squatted down and looked carefully for a while and said, "You can also tidy up all the items before leaving, which means there will be no big enough threat in a short period of time."

"I actually set up camp here." Catherine shook her head: "I can't understand. If you encounter falling rocks, you can easily be seriously injured or even die. And there is no way out here, so it is a dead end."

"Maybe there is a special reason, such as when it encounters a thunderstorm." Panis shrugged and said casually: "Instead of being a thunder target protruding from the ground in a flat open space above, it is better to run down and hide. There are always signs of falling rocks, and it is only a hundred meters high here, so there will be no problem. Okay, let's go up and go to the next one."

"How can you just look at it and know it's not here?" Catherine took out four climbers and hung them on the rope, adjusted them slightly twice, and without waiting for Panis to answer, she rose up quickly along the rope with her hands and feet.

"The conclusion I got from that picture." Panis's voice rang out from her ear.

"Huh???" Shocked by Panis' sudden reply, Catherine almost fell off the rope. When she turned her head, she saw that Panis did not use the rope at all. She leaned against the raised rocks and cracks, and climbed upwards at the same speed as her: "Hey, are you a monkey, and you are not afraid of falling to death?"

"I don't carry a hundred kilograms of equipment and items like you." Panis jumped sideways, grabbed the rope under Catherine with one hand and bounced upwards with a little force. After crossing a smooth stone wall of nearly two meters, he climbed back to the rock wall: "I only have twenty or thirty kilograms of weight here, so of course I feel relaxed when I get up. Don't worry, I can't die if I fall."

"Shut up." Catherine cursed: "If you want to climb, just focus on crawling. Don't joke about safety, don't talk. If you have something to do, then talk."

"Okay, okay, you're always right, Captain." Panis muttered a little, really jumping back and forth on the rock wall like a monkey, quickly surpassing Catherine's position, and soon disappeared at the top of the pit.

When Catherine showed her head from the hole, she found that Panis had already run to the next hole and began to push the iron rod into the ground. Lina saw the two of them crawling out of the pit in the camp and shouted loudly from afar: "How is it, sister, have you noticed anything?"

"I didn't find it, but be careful to wake Vivian up." Catherine also replied loudly: "I don't care if she beats you."

"She can't beat me." Lina tilted her head and thought for a while, and still shouted loudly: "And she will be like a dead pig when she sleeps, so she won't be woken up."

"Fire Explosion Technique." A huge ball of flame flashed in the camp in the distance, and Lina's sharp laughter came.

"The world is finally clear." Catherine put away the iron rod and rope for climbing, slapped her head in distress and walked to Panis next to her. Panis had fixed another set of climbing equipment and was waiting for her arrival.

"I'll go down first. Be careful when you go down. This pit was the one that Vivian used as a trap last night." Panis explained: "Although there is no movement now, it cannot be ruled out that there are marrow eaters who are lucky enough to not completely fall to death. It is best to be prepared for defense."

"Okay." Catherine raised the kite shield and controlled the rope to slide down with one hand after Panis. After a few times of function, the downhiller fell to the ground smoothly. In the pit, Panis was working hard to piece together the fragments of corpses scattered on the ground in order to count the number of corpses.

"I remember jumping down a total of fifteen." Catherine asked, "I killed one on it together, and the remaining fifteen were all down."

"Yes, everyone here is dead, but I want to count it to see if the number is correct." Because there are many protruding rocks on the ground below the pit, several corpses fell on the rocks and limbs were scattered. The ground was covered with solidified blood and brains, and minced meat and bones were also everywhere. It is impossible to piece together the corpses completely back into their original state. They can only rely on experience to simply piece together and calculate the number.

"Well, there is water here." There is a deep groove on the bottom side of the pit, which is black inside, and I can't see clearly inside. Only the sound of turbulent flowing water coming from the inside of the groove. Catherine tentatively threw down a stone, and it took about two seconds to hear the sound of the stone falling into the water: "The groove is quite deep, and the water flows very fast, and the water depth is also very deep. Is it a underground river?"

"Well, there should be underground rivers at the bottom of these seven deep pits, and this river should be quite large, otherwise it would not cause such a large-scale ground collapse to form such a terrain." Pannis finally counted the body and activated a micro-capacity light-attribute crystal fragment at the edge of the groove and threw it down. The space below was not small, and the faint light of the crystal could not illuminate the entire space at all. Only a ball of light fell straight to the bottom of the groove, and was swept away by the water flow and quickly disappeared: "Be careful not to fall down. If it really falls and is swept away by the water flow, I'm afraid the chance of survival is almost zero."

"It's such a narrow gap, I can't get down," said Catherine. "Why, you've counted it? Is there anyone who escaped?"

"No, exactly fifteen." Panis replied: "All dead, no survivors."

"That's good, don't worry about Dora and the others." Catherine said: "Will it be here on the map? Although the map is drawn with a puddle, judging from the observations yesterday, there is no puddle in the center of the pit, and the only water-related one is probably here. Well, maybe there will be other things to find later, but I think it's very possible here."

"This is also a possibility." Panis frowned and looked at the sky: "But my opinion is the opposite, not here either."

"Why?" Catherine asked, "I've been wondering since just now, how did you look up and see it to be sure?"

"It's not just a simple look up." Panis replied: "I'll explain in detail."

Panis took out the map and spread it out, pointed to the three moons and said, "Last night, no, this morning, when I looked at this picture carefully, I felt something special. In this picture, the shape of the pit is drawn very sloppy, and it seems to be a simple description. But when you look at these three moons, I carefully recalled the moon map of the mana tide night, and felt that the strings of the three moons were almost no different from the real moon map."

"Is that true?" Catherine closed her eyes and recalled the moon she saw every night in her mind. The moon, which was usually very familiar to the extreme, only realized that it was so strange when she needed to imagine it seriously: "Sorry, I really can't imagine it, but it doesn't matter, you continue to say."

"Then I was thinking, why is this happening? If it is enough to just prompt time, just drawing the blue moon with a full moon, why do you need to draw the other two moons so accurately?" Panis stroked his chin and said in a daze: "And the function of a map is to give users enough hints so that users can find the target. So will the hints we did not find are in these three moons?"

"It's a bit too certain to say this." Catherine raised her own question: "The strings of the three moons alone cannot support your guess."

"Yes, I think so too, and then I asked Vivian to do something." Panis said: "Because my calculation level is not high and I forgot a lot of knowledge in astronomy, it is not enough to support my calculations, so I asked Vivian to help and asked her to calculate the angles between the three moons and the ground in the map based on the scale on the drawing and the length of the shadows measured with a ruler. The result is coincidentally, it happened to be the moment when the magic energy activity is the greatest in the blue night, and the position of the three moons should be. In other words, the figures of the pits in this picture are completely randomly drawn, but the data about the distance between the three moons and the length of the shadows are completely drawn according to the real scale."
