The cave was very dark, but Xu Xin, who stepped into the cave, could clearly hear that the sound of the wind came from deep within the cave.
After eating a red berry, everything became clear to him.
This black bear cave was not very deep and the end could be seen at a glance. At this time, changes that Xu Xin had never seen before appeared in the deepest part of the cave.
It was a narrow gap, only a few dozen centimeters wide and only about two meters high. Broken stones outside the gap were scattered all over the ground, as if something had poked the gap open from the inside.
The strange "woooo" sound of the wind came from here.
This should be the small hole that the person in the regional channel mentioned. Listening to the mysterious sound, it really seems like the entrance to the underground city.
There was no red dot on the map at this time, but Xu Xin was not careless. He knew very well that those underground monsters would not be shown on the map until they came out of the ground.
Although he was now within the protection of the tree house, those monsters would not survive for more than a few seconds even if they could get out, but if they suddenly attacked him, he could not guarantee that he would be unharmed, so it was better to be careful.
Before going in, stack up the buffs first. Xu Xin took out some oranges and apricots and ate them, feeling the double buffs of mental and physical strength, took a deep breath, and walked towards the cave entrance.
"Ying!" Just after taking two steps towards the gap, Coco on my shoulder suddenly cried out.
"There is danger!" Xu Xin became alert. He was very familiar with Coco's calls. After these days of getting used to each other, he immediately understood what Coco meant, that there was danger ahead.
But you must go even if it is dangerous.
The gap was too narrow, and the spear was very restricted. Xu Xin pulled out the iron sword he had just made from the leather scabbard. If any monster came out of the gap, Xu Xin would just cut it with his sword.
The gap was so small that Xu Xin had to turn slightly to get in. He looked inside and saw that it was very deep and had a corner. He couldn't see any deeper than that.
"Ouch!" Silver King yelled, and sat there helplessly. With shoulders much wider than those of ordinary wolves, it was impossible for it to squeeze into the gap.
"Okay, just eliminate my only general." Xu Xin was also helpless.
If only the entrance was narrow, he could try to chisel it open with a plank, but the entire passage was so narrow that there was no way out. He couldn't chisel all the way in, and it would take a long time.
Xu Xin had no choice but to let the Silver King stay at the gap. He and Coco went in first, and then looked for a chance to see if there was another entrance to bring the Silver King in.
If the backpack could carry living things, Xu Xin really wanted to put the Silver King in the backpack and take it in.
After comforting the Silver King and leaving it a piece of meat, he asked it to guard the entrance of the cave and howl if anything happened. Then Xu Xin took Coco and entered the narrow gap sideways.
This newly appeared passage can no longer be called a cave, it can only be said to be a small narrow gap. As soon as you enter this narrow gap, the strange "whirring" sound of the wind immediately becomes obvious.
People always feel insecure in a small space, especially in a situation like this where danger could occur at any time. Xu Xin was extremely alert and walked forward slowly, leaning sideways.
Only the entrance of this narrow gap showed signs of being newly opened, while the inside was covered with dust and there were traces of various years on the stone wall. It was obvious at a glance that this could not be a newly appeared gap. This gap had existed for a long time, but the entrance was blocked before.
After coming in, Xu Xin discovered that the direction of this gap passage was slightly tilted downward, that is, the further he went forward, the deeper he was below the ground.
"Ying!" Coco on his shoulder suddenly jumped down, tugged at Xu Xin's leather pants, and then ran forward along the gap.
"Coco, don't run, it's dangerous!" Coco disappeared around the corner in an instant, and Xu Xin shouted subconsciously.
But then he remembered that this little guy could predict danger himself. Since it dared to run in like this, it must be because there was no danger ahead that it could sense.
Does this little guy want to step on a landmine for himself
Gritting his teeth, Xu Xin quickened his pace and caught up.
This narrow cave became narrower and narrower. After walking only a few dozen meters, I had to keep my body sideways to pass through.
"My goodness! If I were a little fatter, I wouldn't be able to get through!" Xu Xin struggled to get through the gap.
"嘤!" Xu Xin saw a little head poking out from the turning point a few meters ahead.
After walking a few steps forward, Xu Xin finally understood why Coco stopped here.
At the corner, there are three roads to choose from. They are called roads, but they are actually gaps. One road goes forward, one goes left, and one goes right.
"... Three directions?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
He had a guess in his mind.
Perhaps only one of these three directions is correct. If you choose the wrong direction, it is likely to be a trap, and there is no way back.
In this gap so narrow that he could only move sideways, if there was only one monster, Xu Xin could still deal with it. But if something came out from any direction, he would be going straight to see the King of Hell.
You can't choose so easily.
Xu Xin looked in three directions. He found that each gap had a bend after walking a short distance, and he couldn't see what was ahead. There were no special marks at the entrance of the gap.
He checked the map, but the maze wasn't shown on it at all, only black bear caves and jungle on the ground.
After investigating for a long time, Xu Xin still didn't find any obvious clues.
"This... is it really just based on luck? Or does it not matter if I take the wrong path?" Xu Xin frowned.
Coco ran back and forth between the three roads, looking inside from time to time, but couldn't make a decision.
"Coco, didn't you feel the danger inside just now? Can you feel which direction the danger is in now?" Xu Xin asked Coco in a low voice.
“Hmm…” Coco paused for a moment while running back and forth, then pointed to the passage on the left.
…then pointed to the middle passage, and finally to the right passage.
“…are they all in danger?”
"Bing!"
"Which one is the most dangerous?"
"Hmm." Coco shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.
Xu Xin took a deep breath to calm himself down.
What is this? Danger in all directions
Then just try them one by one, there are risks anyway.
No, you can't be so reckless.
Xu Xin thought about it and sent a private message to Li Wenxi: "Have you found the entrance?"
Li Wenxi once told him that there were mine caves all around her tree house. If the entrances all appeared in the caves, then there was a high possibility that she had found the entrance.
Li Wenxi replied almost immediately: "Found it! I read what the person on the regional channel said, and then I went to a mine that had been making strange noises, and sure enough, I found a new small entrance."
Xu Xin called and the other party answered immediately.
"Have you gone in?" Xu Xin asked in a low voice.
"I'm in, this is it... There are many forks in the road, I'm lost..." Li Wenxi sounded a little embarrassed.
"Lost?" Xu Xin was a little confused. "You just walked in so casually?"
"What do you mean by casually? I did leave a mark! But who knew there were so many forks in the road, and I got lost while walking." Li Wenxi muttered.
A lot of forks in the road
Xu Xin looked at the three roads ahead.
It turns out that this is not just a fork in the road, it is actually a cave maze!
