When the girls stopped again, they had already arrived before a small rock wall crack. Although it was a small crack, the so-called small one was actually for two people to pass side by side, which was quite spacious for humans. The crack was not high, and gray-green climbing plants climbed over the walls on both sides of the crack. From time to time, some small creatures jumped around among the vines, transporting food to their nests for winter.

With a chirping chirping, thirty or forty little beasts surged out of the cracks. These little beasts were only twenty or thirty centimeters tall, with pointed heads protruding forward, dark green patterns on their bodies, and they also walked upright with their hind legs. The tiny and flexible tails controlled the balance of their bodies when they jumped. These little beasts looked crowded, and as soon as they came out, they ran away from the one that started making screams. In a short while, they brought back a bunch of rhizomes or fruits of plants.

"It looks like they are carnivorous monsters." Catherine looked at the group of little beasts from a distance: "How do you carry a bunch of plants back to your nest to stock up?"

"Wolves still have 20% of their time to eat grass, so don't be so surprised." Panis said: "However, this kind of monster seems to be omnivorous. After all, meat cannot be stored for a long time. Well? There is also winter here. The climate in this area should be similar to the Lost Forest. I remember it is very hot all year round, where is it?"

"It depends on how you understand winter." Ike took a few thousand steps, drawing a knife to cut off the vines that blocked the cracks. These vines looked thinner. However, the texture was very tough. Without the use of fighting energy to increase the power, you can cut it over with one knife. You can often cut off half of a vine. After cutting a few times, Ike wiped his sweat and said, "Theoretically, there is winter here, and the temperature will be slightly lower than now, and there is no change in other ways. For us, this temperature will not cause any impact, but it will feel very comfortable, but it is different for these monsters. Especially this micro monster, you dare not emerge from the warm cave in winter. You dare not enter the depths of the cracks to hunt or pick plants, so you can only choose to store food for the winter."

Several people started working together and quickly cleared the vines on the cracks into a road that could be passed by. The workload was not large. But this kind of work that should have been very easy made everyone sweat. The petticoat under Catherine's armor was already soaked and stuck to her body. She felt uncomfortable all over but had to maintain her dignity. She could only shake her shoulders slightly, frowned and said, "Is it because the humidity is too high? Why is it so easy to sweat."

"You can also feel it, it's stuffy and humid," Ike explained. "Someone has measured that the humidity here is even more than the most terrifying forest of death. Even if you walk here for a long time, you will be covered in sweat."

"Element. Exit." Vivian suddenly pointed at Catherine, and a light blue magic circle flashed under her feet. Catherine was stunned and blinked in confusion: "Vivian. Have you dispelled the water-attribute elements around me? I feel that the humidity around me has dropped a lot. But it has dropped a little too much, it is almost the same as the feeling of the Kingdom of Sands."

"There's no way." Vivian spread his hands and said helplessly: "It can only be so extreme, but it's better to be dry than to soak in water. Are you interested? Who else wants a Vivian-style dryer?"

So, a few minutes later, everyone was blessed with a water-attribute element dispersing magic array that could last for an hour. It made everyone get rid of the troubles caused by the environment. I don’t know what I remembered, after casting the spell, Vivian took out a low-capacity fire-attribute crystal fragment and swayed at Pannis. Pannis was stunned, patted Vivian’s head, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a warm smile. Freya looked at the interaction between the two strangely and asked in confusion: "What are you doing? It feels very strange. Is there anything I don’t know?"

"Don't disturb them missing the past." Lina hugged Freya's arm and pulled her aside: "It was probably the same time last year. We met Panis outside the crying cave. At that time, the three of us were still golden ranks..."

"Well, that's true." After listening to the story told by Lina, Freya also smiled and said, "Before the promotion to legend, the consumption of magic had to be calculated very carefully. Many magics were obviously very convenient, but they dare not use them at will. Now that the total amount of magic has increased, the speed of reply has increased accordingly, and it is obviously less worrying to use it. However, I didn't expect that there would be such an interesting story when you met. How is the thief who deceived you now? Are you still lying in Kanzier's town? There are two orc shop owners with hoe and malt, which sounds very interesting."

"Lina and I secretly went back." Vivian peeked at Catherine and found that she was not angry about mentioning this matter. Then she continued with confidence: "The owner and his wife are still so interesting. The owner's wife of the fox clan heard that Panis had joined us and was chasing us to introduce commissions. As for the little liar, she ran away when she saw us. I hope he can always be so lucky and safe."

"Okay, that's OK, there's no monster inside." As Ike was chatting, he entered the crack and found his head out of the uncleared vine: "I found a slope inside. The top of the slope is very flat and the view is relatively wide, so it can be used to camp."

"This is really the best news I heard today." Catherine slapped the forehead protection on her head, activated the light-attribute crystal fragments, and pushed aside a few hanging vine branches and drilled into the crack.

The crack was not very comfortable inside. The air was filled with the fishy smell of monsters and the rotten smell of corpses, and a faint scent of sulfur mixed in it. Although there was light coming from outside, the crack was still very dark. The light from the head could barely see the surrounding environment. In front of me was a natural tunnel that was sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. The wide one was more than four meters, but the narrow one could only accommodate a person to pass sideways. Vivian and Lina secretly looked at Freya together, in return for a fierce glare.

The top of the tunnel is low, and the dark rocks press over the head as if they are about to collapse at any time, making the space more cramped and depressed. The humid environment makes the surrounding rock walls wet everywhere, and water droplets are constantly ticking from the top of the tunnel. The mechanical and monotonous sound fills the extremely quiet tunnel, bringing an indescribable sense of weirdness.

On both sides of the tunnel, you can occasionally see the bodies of the dead small monsters. Most of them have turned into bones, but some have skin and muscle residues. The corpses that had not yet rotted were covered with tooth marks, and even there were many gnawing marks on the bones. Catherine walked to a corpse that had been eaten two-thirds of the time to squatted down, checked through the gloves, and nodded, "Looking at the appearance of the teeth marks, it should belong to the small monsters outside. This should be their restaurant. Is it okay for us to pass through directly like this? Will it attract their attacks?"

"Don't worry." Ike shook his head and said, "These monsters just passed the silver level standard. They may be a great threat to low-level professions, but for us, if we stand and let them attack, they can't bite our skin. But be careful of their spitting, they will spit out acid from their stomachs to attack the enemy's face. The acid is very corrosive, don't get it."

"Spit acid spits out? Why do I remember the terror beast?" Catherine raised her eyebrows and widened her eyes and said, "Think about it carefully, if those small monsters are enlarged several times, they are really very similar to the terror beast. No, they can almost be said to be exactly the same. Are they close relatives of the terror beast?"

"I think you said it was wrong." Panis corrected: "It should be said that the terror beasts are their close relatives. After all, the monsters here, no matter how big or small, have been thriving in the traces of the earth for countless thousands of years."

"Sister, I really didn't expect it." Vivian's eyes lit up and she whispered: "I just thought these monsters looked very familiar and must have seen them somewhere. It was indeed the terrifying beasts we encountered in the Shining Forest. The three pointed claws were backed back vigorously, the pointed head, and the spurting acid. No, this discovery must be recorded."

Everyone has long been accustomed to Vivian's situation of being in a state of research anytime and anywhere, so he isolates himself from the outside world. Catherine shook her head helplessly and gestured to Panis at the end of the team. Panis smiled bitterly and gently pushed Vivian from behind to continue moving forward.

Along the way, many gray and purple plants grew tenaciously in the cracks of the rock walls. In this lightless environment, I don’t know how these plants survived. Not only did they survive in this environment, but they also emit a faint light. Although the intensity was very low, they were very eye-catching in the dark space. The texture of these plants was very hard, but the flowers they bloomed had soft petals. Occasionally, unknown monsters would emerge from the darkness and gather next to the plants, tearing the soft petals off the same hard support and stem to swallow them to satisfy your hunger.

"Ha, what a smart plant." Panis laughed: "Using glow to attract creatures, and then luring them to devour with soft petals. This is the function of letting the monsters replace bees and butterflies."

"We're here." Ike turned his head, and the light column above his head pointed to the right: "The slope is on the fork in the road over there."

"Wait, quiet." Panis frowned and said, "What's the sound?"
