There are usually no powerful beasts in such woods near the city. If there are, they will be cleared out manually.
Unless those beasts were lost or hungry and came to the outskirts of the city.
If this happens, then the missing girl is probably in bad luck.
But no matter what, the girl still has to find it. Maybe she hid and was trembling alone in a safe corner, that was possible.
The sun went down and night came again. Roland summoned four light balls to surround the two of them. After searching for a while, he found nothing.
Roland suggested: "Let's move separately. This place is a bit big. Although you don't have magic such as lighting, you still have dark vision and should be able to move freely in the dark. Whether you can find the missing girl or not, when daybreak comes How about meeting at the city gate?"
"This..." Beta hesitated, but still nodded.
Then the two separated.
The forest was originally very quiet, but there were strange gurgling noises from time to time, which was quite scary. After the two separated, they seemed even quieter and more terrifying.
Although the area more than thirty meters around the light ball was as bright as day, the place further away was completely dark.
It was pitch black, as if something was rushing out of the darkness.
The rustling of dead leaves under your feet, a sound that would seem very subtle during the day, is clearly audible at this time.
In fact, in such an environment, Roland also felt a little scared. But he still bit the bullet and carefully searched for any possible clues.
After walking for a long time, he suddenly saw a footprint.
On the dead leaves, there is a deep and shallow footprint moving forward.
The footprints were not big, at least two sizes smaller than Roland's. If it wasn't a child, it should be a woman.
Roland was quite happy and walked quickly along the footprints.
Five minutes later, he saw the messy scene of dead leaves in front of him. A gray basket lay on its side on the ground, with several white mushrooms scattered around.
The dead leaves were separated, and a trail swam into the dark depths of the forest.
Roland's face darkened and he ran quickly.
After running for about ten minutes, he saw a small hill. At the foot of the hill was a dark cave.
Drag marks into the cave.
As soon as Roland approached the cave, he smelled a strong fishy smell.
It smells a bit like fish, but also mixed with a hint of sheep.
Roland controlled a ball of light to float in and found that the cave was very deep and slowly going downwards.
If one person goes in... Roland thought for a while, took back the light ball, and then under the control of his mind, the four light balls merged into one large light ball, which was launched into the air with a whoosh, and exploded like fireworks. .
The huge black night was bright for about three seconds, and then a little bit of light and dust fell like rain, and then slowly disappeared.
Roland summoned four more light balls to surround himself.
Four minutes later, these four light balls were launched into the air.
Four more light balls were summoned.
After a while, a panting Beta rushed over.
"Brother Luolan, you are indeed the one who set off the fireworks!" Beta gasped and said, "Did you find any clues?"
Roland nodded: "I found the basket and mushrooms, and there was a drag mark into the cave."
Hearing this, Beta's eyes lit up: "That's right. I'm half a warrior. I'll take the lead. Brother Luolan, you are responsible for controlling the field as usual."
Taking out the long sword from the system backpack, Beta walked into the cave first.
Roland followed closely behind.
Entering the cave, the smell became even stronger.
Both of them subconsciously covered their noses with one hand.
The cave is very humid, and there are faint water stains on the rock walls.
The passage is quite high, about two meters, so two people can walk without having to lower their heads, and the width is actually quite wide, allowing two people to walk side by side without feeling too crowded.
A light ball floats in front, responsible for guiding the way.
The passage has been slowly going downwards. Although the two of them were very nervous, they did not encounter any danger and arrived at the end of the passage.
The field of vision suddenly widened, and then he saw an underground cavity.
"Why is there nothing?" Beta asked doubtfully.
The hole is not big, and if you look around, you can take in everything.
There is nothing here but tawny soil.
"And the smell here is much lighter." Roland looked around and continued: "Look around, there may be some kind of secret door or something like that."
The two of them searched separately for a while, and Beta suddenly shouted: "Brother Luolan, look here!"
Roland walked over and looked at where Beta pointed.
The soil there looked normal, but compared to the surroundings, it looked a little 'new'.
Under normal circumstances, this subtle difference would most likely be ignored. But Roland and Beta had already preconceived ideas. With the concept of 'secret door', it was easy to find out the difference.
Two mage hands appeared and began to dig at the soil of the wall quickly.
"It's indeed weird." Roland said while controlling the mage's hand: "The soil is obviously much softer."
Beta stood two steps forward, ready to fight.
Soon, Roland dug through the wall, and a black hole appeared in front of them. A disgusting stench rushed out from inside.
Roland continued to use the mage's hand to pull a few times to expand the hole, and then moved a light ball in.
Then the faces of the two of them turned bluish-white.
This is a dark room with many corpses lying around inside.
Most of the corpses had turned into dry bones, and only two corpses still looked like humans.
Both bodies were female, naked.
One was already decomposed, with large numbers of white maggots crawling around on the body.
And the other one... There was a stab wound on the left chest, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the blood had dried up.
It only took a glance for the two of them to understand what was going on.
brute!
Beta took a deep breath, then suddenly walked aside, squatted down and vomited.
Roland clenched his fists, his stomach was surging like waves, and he wanted to vomit, but he endured it.
With a tense face, he walked into the cave and looked carefully at the freshest girl's body.
This should be the target they are looking for, after all, even the system highlighted 'her'.
It's too late! Roland felt angry and helpless at the same time. The girl might have died when they received the mission.
Who did it! So cruel!
At this time, a task prompt suddenly came.
The mission is completed and 184 character experience points are obtained.
What the hell, who cares about whether the mission is completed or not
Roland cursed angrily in his mind. He took off his magic robe and covered the girl. He was about to pick the girl up and take her away from the place for burial, but suddenly he felt that the girl's body was still warm, and her body was not. Not stiff!
Logically speaking, after being dead for such a long time, he should be stiff!
Could it be
Roland put his finger in front of the girl's nose, and sure enough he felt a faint breath.
Hold! ! !
Roland yelled, carefully but quickly picked up the girl, and rushed out of the cave. Seeing Beta still squatting on the ground retching, he immediately rushed over and kicked the young boy hard.
At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Why are you still so coquettish? Come here and hug her. Quick! She is still alive. You are half a warrior and you are strong and can run fast. Hurry and carry her back to the city to find a doctor for treatment."
