The world at the lower level of the cave is completely different from the upper level. On the upper level of the cave, you can occasionally encounter faint light cast from the cracks in the rock wall, or you can also encounter torches that are about to burn in the passage by the adventurers who are leading the way, plus their own torches lighting. Generally speaking, although the cave is dim, with the golden level physical fitness of the girls, you can still see the surrounding environment clearly.

Now that I have entered the lower layer of the cave, there is darkness around me, and only a few meters around my body is covered with hazy light. I can still see things clearly. After exceeding the range of light, I can still see a blurry black outline within twenty meters. If I get a little further away, I will only be pitch black.

Now the four people are leaning against the wall of the exit, but there is nothing in front of them. They can only see the ground extending under their feet, but they don’t know where they lead. Looking left and right, they are pitch black, and they don’t know whether it is a wall, a cliff, or countless strange creatures that only exist in their imagination are surrounding them, waiting for them to fall into the trap.

Some people think that the greatest fear of creatures comes from the unknown, and this sentence makes sense. The fear of the unknown in the dark makes the three girls' hearts beat very quickly, and they are leaning tightly against the rock wall behind them. Only the solid rock wall can give them a little illusory sense of security.

"What the hell is this?" Lina was startled by her voice. In the deadly cave, Lina's screams without force seemed quite harsh, and bursts of vague echoes were aroused on the rock wall.

"Shh." Panis stopped Lina's scream, his voice low: "Have you forgotten what you said before? Try not to speak loudly and be careful of falling rocks."

Pointing at the darkness on his finger, Penis continued to explain: "The stones above are a little sharp and fall from high altitude. Even if you wear helmets, you will be penetrated from head to toe. As far as I know, an adventurer was crucified in the past few years."

"real?"

"Of course it's fake. How could there be only one? A few people die like this every year. But don't worry too much. The sound of the rock falling down is very loud, and they can usually dodge. Come on, this is for you." Panis handed the three girls a small paper bag: "Spread it on your clothes."

The girls did not hesitate and did it directly. Vivian sprinkled the powder in the paper bag and put the bag under his nose and sniffed it: "There is the ingredients of fraudulent potion. Is this the magical disguise powder? We rarely used it before."

"Yes, it is used to simulate the magic energy. As long as it is not too close, the monsters cannot detect our abnormality through energy sensing." Panis slapped 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 go out. There are few monsters here that can come in, but once you go out, you must be careful at any time and there is no safety anymore."

"You must be very careful when you walk here. When you are not familiar with it, you can walk slowly and don't worry. Every time you take a step, you must first observe your feet. Sometimes there will be holes on the ground. The deepest one is nearly a hundred meters, and there are very sharp stalagmites below. You will basically die if you fall into it. After observing, you must also observe your head. Sometimes some stalagmites will hang down from the top of the cave. If you don't want to... well, if you don't want to bump into it like Miss Lina, you must see clearly before moving forward."

The sound of walking sounded again, and the halo ball representing the four people began to move forward slowly. After walking more than ten meters, the girls found that they seemed to be lost in the lonely boat on the sea of ​​rage, with empty space on all sides, completely unable to distinguish between front, back and left and right. The boundless darkness was like the deepest nightmare, pressing heavily on the girls' hearts. The girls' eyes kept wandering forward, back and left and right, as if there were terrifying creatures jumping out of the darkness at any time. Many times, the girls turned their gaze to the direction they came back, trying to escape back to the rock wall, and let the false sense of security encircle them again, but the dignity of the profession prevented them from retreating. Only the back of Panis in front was slowly moving forward without hesitation and without stopping.

"Dark, no light."

"The world of void has no life, no elements, no front and back direction"

There was no music, Panis just hummed softly in front of him. The song of Yara sounded in the darkness, slightly dispelling the uneasiness in the girls' hearts, and the light that represented the girls' direction was no longer swaying around. The group of four people staggered forward in the low singing.

"Something is coming in front." Catherine suddenly saw that in the haze, a huge black shadow pressed towards the four people, and shouted in a hurry. The Knight's sword had already come to her hand from her waist.

"That's just a rock wall." Panis walked forward without any action: "The rock wall will not come, it's just an illusion in the dark."

"Huh." Katherine took back her weapon and wiped her forehead: "Sorry, I'm a little nervous."

Panis shook his head without saying anything, walked to the rock wall, squatted down and searched for a moment, pointed to a gap and said, "We are going to get through here."

"Here?" Lina exclaimed, looking at the low and narrow gap in front of her: "How could this be possible?"

"It's to climb over." Panis reached out and took away the gravel in the gap: "There are still many places to climb behind, are you scared?"

"Cai, I'm not afraid." Lina said stubbornly: "I am just a little surprised, how could I be afraid."

Panis ignored Lina's quarrel, leaned over and lay on the ground, twisted like a snake a few times, and crawled into the gap. The voice came from the gap: "I walked first, Miss Catherine walked last, Miss Lina and Miss Vivian walked between you. You are in the magic department, be careful."

"Even if you are worried about me, I will not be happy." Lina looked at the gap and hesitated for a moment, turned her head and pulled Vivian: "Vivian, you are small, you go first."

Vivian glared at Lina in the light, lay in front of the gap and tried it. She found that the size of a person could accommodate a person and even be said to be very spacious. So she crawled in with confidence and asked, "Pennis, what if she encounters an enemy at this time?"

"If you have room for movement, attack the other party." Panis's voice came from the bottom of the front: "If you don't have space, open your magic shield and crawl forward or backward quickly. If it doesn't work, pray to the gods you believe in."

"Pennis." Lina also sounded like she climbed into the gap: "Is this road going down? We won't fall head down, do we?"

"Not that steep." Panis climbed quickly, his voice getting farther and farther away.

"Mr. Pannis, you'd better be slower. Vivian is the second one. She can't climb that fast." Catherine's voice sounded at the end of the team: "And Lina, you should say less. I lift the ban on not allowing you to read books in the cave. When you rest at night, you can find a way to change one. You are too abnormal today."

"What's wrong with me?" Lina was a little dissatisfied in front: "I think I'm pretty normal."

"It's just an illusion in the dark." Catherine quickly learned this sentence: "You have never been normal, and today is particularly abnormal. Now shut up and concentrate on crawling."

None of the four people spoke again and moved forward in the narrow gap in turn. At first, the girls felt that although it was difficult to climb in the gap, it was much better than the empty and dark feeling just now. At least there were real rock walls around, which felt very safe. However, after crawling for twenty minutes, the girls felt an indescribable anxiety in their hearts, with no end in front and back. The rock walls around remained unchanged, and the monotonous numbness of the same movements were repeated. The various effects greatly extended their sense of time, and even felt that they had been crawling in the gap for several hours.

How far have you climbed? How long will it take? Are you lost? Will you be trapped in this passage that you can't even sit up? Can you go out again? Is this a passage to hell? Although the girls have experienced countless adventures and entered danger many times, and their will has been tempered very firmly, in the terrifying darkness, various thoughts still quietly appear in the girls' minds, gnawing on their courage.

"Please note." Panis's voice saved the girls' tormented hearts in hell: "It's almost here."

"Hahaha, Deniya sympathized with her." Lina obviously forgot Catherine's order and laughed excitedly. But immediately she tasted the bitter fruit of her forgetfulness. Before she could stop laughing, she bumped into the raised rock: "Oh, bastard."

"Be careful in front." Panis reminded: "The passage in front is full of water, and it is very turbid. Pay attention to holding your breath and closing your eyes. You only need to continue crawling in the water for less than a minute to leave the gap. The exit is at the bottom of a pool. The pool is not deep, and the water surface is not far behind your chest when you stand up, so don't be nervous."

"I am not nervous, isn't it just water? I am not afraid." Lina rubbed her head and said harshly. Unfortunately, with the sound of water, Panis had already submerged into the water and could not hear her words.

The last time I entered the water, Catherine found that the water was very cold. Even though she was wearing waterproof clothes, she was still shivering by the cold water, and her speed couldn't help but speed up. Sure enough, after crawling with her eyes closed, she felt that the terrain became flat from downwards, and finally she tilted upwards, and crawled a few more steps. Suddenly, she felt that the water was empty in front of her, and her upper body had already broken free from the rock wall that bound her body. After kicking her feet for a few more steps, she successfully broke away from the gap.

Pushing the bottom of the pool, Catherine successfully stood up in the pool, and picked up Lina, who was still struggling in the waist-deep water. The first sentence she said was: "I finally figured it out. I really thought I would climb until the end of time like this. I never want to climb again."

The second sentence was said when she opened her eyes and looked around: "So beautiful!"
