Free Web NovelAnd why is this place so dark, even darker than the Mystic Ground passage?
Mingxi swept her lamp around.
She then realized she was currently inside a massive cave.
But Mingxi always felt something was off about this cave. freewebnøvel.com
Not only did the howling wind make people dizzy and nauseous, which was bad enough.
The surrounding darkness also made her uneasy.
There was a strange stickiness, and a faint smell lingered at the tip of her nose...
Mingxi’s heart was no longer just thumping; it was clattering.
"Ah!? Who’s touching my waist?!"
"It’s me."
"Oh, it’s Junior Zhang, then it’s fine."
As Mingxi was muttering to herself, several unfamiliar voices suddenly ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ echoed around her.
They were other Beast Tamers.
She swept her lamp over them.
Besides her, there were four other Beast Tamers.
And these four clearly knew each other!
Did they come together?
They must have used some kind of item that allows Beast Tamers to be transported to the same location.
Mingxi immediately put away the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform she had just taken out, and instead formed a hand seal to summon Golden Yuanbao, Little Silver Flower, and Lan Yue.
The four Beast Tamers also noticed her presence, and after realizing, they too summoned their pet beasts.
The cave immediately felt cramped.
After this, the four people looked at her, their gazes filled with vigilance and caution.
"You... are you Mingxi?"
The youngest woman among the four stared at Mingxi, taking the initiative to ask.
Mingxi sensed the other party’s hostility and guessed their identity.
This person should be Lin Guanyue from Bei Yi Vocational High School.
How should she put it?
Enemies on a narrow road?
Lin Guanyue clearly didn’t need her answer, curling her lips into a cold sneer:
"It really is... a coincidence."
A handsome young man walked to Lin Guanyue’s side, "Junior Lin, do you know this little Junior?"
"Senior Fang, she is that Mingxi!"
Lin Guanyue pouted, her eyes full of coldness.
Fang Qin raised an eyebrow, smiled faintly, and did not speak, but his gaze as he appraised Mingxi made her very uncomfortable.
"Roar!"
Sensing her Beast Tamer’s emotions, Golden Yuanbao immediately let out a low growl at the man, its voice unusually cold!
Mingxi stroked its feathers, calming its emotions.
The current situation was not favorable for them.
The strength of each of these four people was comparable to hers, and what’s more, there were four of them; she probably couldn’t win if they teamed up.
She still needed to develop cautiously first.
"Alright, let’s find the exit first."
Another woman among the four spoke at this moment, and she walked with her pet beast towards the direction from which the wind was blowing in the cave.
Seeing that Zhang Huining had already walked deeper into the cave, Lin Guanyue, Fang Qin, and Shi Nianhua exchanged glances and could only follow.
Mingxi really didn’t want to go with this group of people, but there were only two exits in the cave, front and back.
And the wind was blowing from the direction Lin Guanyue and the other three were walking.
She had no choice!
This cave was very large.
Its height and width were both over ten zhang, and the rocks around the cave entrance were weathered and rugged by the wind.
The further they walked inside.
Ahead, ancient trees with gnarled roots suddenly appeared.
They were scattered throughout the cave, their branches reaching the cave ceiling, forming leafy totems that blocked out the sky.
The ancient trees inside the cave were thicker and taller than ordinary trees.
There was enough space for two or three people to pass between the trees, and mountain streams and rocks appeared among the ancient trees.
Looking further in, however, was a dense, impenetrable black mist, bottomless.
Mingxi silently gazed at that darkness.
Her dark eyes flickered, shining like dancing streamers, obscure and unclear.
"This cave is so strange."
The four people ahead carefully observed their surroundings.
They conversed in low voices.
From time to time, they would turn their heads to look at Mingxi, with vigilance and gloom.
"Lei Lei." Golden Yuanbao softly called out several times in Mingxi’s ear.
Mingxi nodded.
Golden Yuanbao indicated that it sensed a strange energy fluctuation, as if it was very gentle, yet also very explosive, like two people with different personalities were in conflict.
Mingxi held up her illuminating lamp, observing her surroundings with a solemn expression.
The four people in front also maintained constant vigilance, and their pet beasts were arranged around them, protecting them tightly.
Several people cautiously walked among the ancient trees in the cave, slowly exploring deeper.
When they reached about a hundred meters inside the cave.
Lin Guanyue suddenly shrieked.
"Ah!"
Not far away were several completely blackened skeletons.
Most of the bodies lay by the large trees, their limbs twisted and convulsed, their mouths wide open in an expression of extreme terror, their bodies appearing as if they had been burned, completely black, with flesh adhering to the bones, forming mummified corpses.
Lin Guanyue had already hidden behind Fang Qin in horror and fear, her lips trembling like a sieve: "W-What is this? How... how can the deaths be so terrifying..."
Zhang Huining and Shi Nianhua also saw the mummified corpses lying haphazardly on the ground and were scared pale.
Mingxi’s face also darkened slightly, but she remained relatively calm.
She raised the illuminating lamp in her hand.
Avoiding the tangled branches, she walked to the nearest mummified corpse.
She knelt down and carefully examined the mummified corpse.
Golden Yuanbao, Little Silver Flower, and Lan Yue, meanwhile, tensed their bodies, constantly vigilant for any movement around them.
"Junior Ming, have you found anything?"
Zhang Huining, the calmest and most composed of the four, walked to a spot not far from Mingxi.
Mingxi turned to look at her, "Look at the skin of this mummified corpse..."
Mingxi brought her illuminating lamp closer to the mummified corpse.
She saw that on the black, sticky skin, there were actually tiny, dense holes, like rows of neat needle marks, distributed so closely that they were not immediately apparent at first glance.
And it was precisely these needle-like small holes that caused the blackening of the skin, and it was likely that these bodies were sucked into mummies because of these small holes.
"What kind of situation could cause such damage? Is it a skill of a Transcendent creature?"
Zhang Huining truly couldn’t imagine what could cause such concentrated attacks.
Mingxi frowned slightly, stood up, and said to Zhang Huining and the other three: "Be careful, there could be danger here at any time."
"Junior Ming, do you know what the problem is?" Zhang Huining saw her solemn expression and quickly pressed for an answer.
Mingxi shook her head, "This is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation."
She just had a very bad premonition.
Her complexion was not very good.
The feeling this cave gave her...
It was very tricky!
At this moment, Lan Yue’s nose suddenly twitched several times.
"Ling Ling!"
Mingxi was startled; Lan Yue said there was a strange smell in the air.
Three seconds later, she also smelled a peculiar scent.
It was a bit like nail polish or banana oil.
Although not strong, for her, even a slight change in scent was a strong warning.
Her heart tightened, and she said urgently: "Little Silver Flower Holy Light Guard for Lan Yue, Barrier, Lan Yue Ice Age, Golden Yuanbao..."
And why is this place so dark, even darker than the Mystic Ground passage?
Mingxi swept her lamp around.
She then realized she was currently inside a massive cave.
But Mingxi always felt something was off about this cave.
