Start a mysterious island

Outside the cave, there were dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain falling from the sky.

There was a blazing bonfire at the entrance of the cave. The orange-red firelight swayed gently with the breeze, and the shadows reflected on the ground by the firelight also swayed with the swaying of the bonfire.

It was impossible to see anything inside the cave, and the dark shadow seemed to be swallowing up everything. However, a subtle sound came from inside the cave and fell on the ears of Lin Li and Wu Qingfang who were sitting in front of the bonfire at the entrance of the cave.

Did you hear any strange noises? Wu Qingfang looked at the dark shadows in the distance, a puzzled expression on her handsome face, and then she asked Lin Li beside her.

I heard it, but the sound was very weak. If you didn't listen carefully, you might have thought you were delusional. Lin Li replied.

What do you think is making this noise? Wu Qingfang asked.

Lin Li turned his head to look at Wu Qingfang and noticed that Lin Li was looking at him. Wu Qingfang also looked away from a distance and looked at Lin Li.

How do I know this! But I think the movement is either the sound of the air flowing in the cave, or the sound of a strange beast hiding deep in the cave. Lin Li guessed.

Um... After hearing what Lin Li said, Wu Qingfang thought for a moment and suggested, Should we go into the cave to explore?

Lin Li originally wanted to refuse Wu Qingfang's proposal.

But he suddenly thought that this relic space was left over from ancient times.

Although the ancient city in the core area is the most valuable place to explore, there is no telling that there are some treasures hidden in other places in this ruins space.

Okay! But when we explore later, we must be careful. No one can do anything reckless.

Lin Li agreed to Wu Qingfang's suggestion to explore inside the cave.

However, before setting off, he still had to talk to the other party about some things in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble later.

Wu Qingfang smiled and nodded, I am aware of the dangers of the ruins space. I will not act recklessly when exploring unknown areas...

Lin Li stood up and wanted to explore the depths of the cave with Wu Qingfang.

Since it was pitch black ahead, the exploration would not be possible without a light source, so Lin Li prepared to take out a flashlight for lighting from the mysterious island.

At this time, before Lin Li took out the flashlight for lighting, Wu Qingfang had already taken out a pure white metal bead the size of a finger from her pocket.

Huh? Lin Li noticed that the pure white metal bead the size of a finger that Wu Qingfang took out from his pocket had a faint golden light flashing on its surface.

This small metal bead should be a spiritual weapon, but I don't know what it does...

Lin Li's doubts were quickly answered when Wu Qingfang took out a pure white metal bead from her pocket and immediately mobilized the spiritual energy in her Dantian to gather it in the palm of her hand.

The pale golden spiritual energy gathered in the center of Wu Qingfang's white palm, and then was injected into the pure white metal beads under Wu Qingfang's control.

Buzz...

After the spiritual weapon absorbs the spiritual energy, it is immediately activated.

This finger-sized pure white metal bead shines with golden light.

Then many tiny pure white light spots emerged from the surface of this spiritual weapon and quickly floated into the air.

The tiny white light spots were densely packed, and they spiraled together to form a white light group the size of a football.

With this large light source, a large area around it was illuminated brightly.

Lin Li looked at the white light floating above his head and said, The white light created by your spiritual weapon is very bright!

Fortunately...I didn't bring any lighting equipment that was brighter than this with me when I came back here. Wu Qingfang said with a smile.

Since the other party used a spiritual weapon to create such a dazzling white light group, there was no need for Lin Li to take out the flashlight from the mysterious island.

He stared into the depths of the cave and said, Let's set off!

Yes. Wu Qingfang nodded, and then she took the lead and walked deeper into the cave.

Lin Li saw Wu Qingfang walking in front. After he followed, he quickened his pace slightly and said at the same time, Let me clear the way in front!

Wu Qingfang raised an objection, It's better for me to open the way in front!

Although all my injuries have not healed yet, I have a second-level high-level cultivation.

If something happens, you can respond faster.

Uh... Lin Li was stunned for a moment after hearing what Wu Qingfang said.

Then, he quickly came to his senses.

Previously, Lin Li's body showed mid-level second-level spiritual energy fluctuations, which made Wu Qingfang mistakenly believe that Lin Li only had mid-level second-level cultivation, so she said these words at this time.

Because of Wu Qingfang's words, Lin Li felt that the girl in front of him was quite nice, and his favorability increased.

He didn't explain much, just smiled, and didn't argue with the other party about who should go in front to clear the way.

Tap, step, step...

In the quiet cave, when Lin Li and Wu Qingfang did not speak, the only sound left was the sound of their footsteps as they walked.

The small space in the cave allows the sound of footsteps to echo continuously, surrounding people's ears, giving people a very quiet feeling.

Wu Qingfang, who was leading the way, felt that the current atmosphere was too quiet and uncomfortable, so she spoke to break the silence.

I don't know your name yet! My name is Wu Qingfang, what's your name?

Lin Li was staring into the depths of the cave in the distance when he heard Wu Qingfang, who was walking in front, turn back to look at him and introduce himself, so he responded with a smile.

My name is Lin Li.

Wu Qingfang asked, Mr. Lin, how long have you been in our country of Chu?

You don't need to call me Mr. Lin, just call me by my name. Lin Li said with a smile.

Uh... Okay, then just call me by my name. Wu Qingfang responded with a smile.

It must have been a month or two since I came to Chu State! I didn't remember the specific time. Lin Li recalled his first experience in the spirit world and said to Wu Qingfang.

Then it hasn't been long since you came to our Chu country!

Um.

Is the Dongwu City you are talking about a city in our Chu Kingdom? Wu Qingfang asked.

Since Chu State has a vast territory and many cities within its borders, Wu Qingfang could not remember the names of every city in Chu State, so she asked Lin Li such a question.

Yes, Dongwu City is located on the southern border of your Chu Kingdom. Lin Li said.

It turns out to be a border city! No wonder the name sounds strange to me... Wu Qingfang nodded.

Some of the cities she is familiar with are prosperous big cities close to the imperial capital, and she usually knows less about some cities on the border.

The two of them were walking and chatting, and within a short time, Lin Li and Wu Qingfang were hundreds of meters deep inside the cave.

The entrance of the cave is not very spacious, but as you go deeper into the cave, you will find that the road under your feet is getting wider and wider, and the space you can see has become much larger.

This cave is really strange. The farther we go inside, the bigger and bigger the space becomes. Wu Qingfang, who was leading the way, said doubtfully.

Yes! Not only the space has become larger, but also the inaudible abnormal sound we heard at the beginning has disappeared now. Lin Li had been paying attention to the whining sound he heard at the beginning, and then he discovered that the sound Completely inaudible.

Wu Qingfang also reacted to Lin Li's reminder. She listened attentively and listened carefully for a few seconds.

It was just as Lin Li said, she didn't hear the whining sound she heard at the beginning again.

The two of them were confused about the disappearance of the strange sound they heard at first.

The reason why they entered the depths of the cave to explore was because they heard the strange sound. Now that the sound disappeared, they did not give up the idea of ​​continuing to explore the depths of the cave.

We have already arrived, and we have already penetrated hundreds of meters into the cave. It would be a pity to go back home at this time.

Therefore, there was no need to bring up the idea of ​​continuing to explore the depths of the cave. The two of them carried out the idea very tacitly.

Tap, step, step...

The sound of footsteps continues to echo in the cave. If you continue to advance inside the cave, you will find that the road under your feet begins to slope.

Judging from this situation, Lin Li and Wu Qingfang are constantly heading deeper into the underground as they advance into the cave.

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...

From the depths of the pitch-black cave in the distance, a very clear movement suddenly came, which made Lin Li and Wu Qingfang immediately become vigilant.

They slowed down slightly, expanded their mental awareness, and took the first step to explore the location where the noise was coming from ahead.

No psychic fluctuations were found, which relaxed the tense nerves of the two people a little.

Slowing down a bit, they continued to move into the cave in an orderly manner. Soon, the two people arrived at the location where the movement occurred, and they knew what was causing the noise they just heard.

Under the control of Wu Qingfang, the ball of white light the size of a football quickly flew overhead.

A few seconds later, the bright light emitted from the white light group clearly illuminated a large area above the two people's heads.

There are so many stalactites! Wu Qingfang said in surprise as she looked at the scene in front of her.

Above the head are countless stalactites. These stalactites are not only huge, but also have various shapes and colors.

The sound that Lin Li and Wu Qingfang heard earlier was caused by the water droplets dripping from these stalactites.

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...

Transparent water droplets continued to fall from the huge stalactites of different colors, hitting the ground and making continuous noises.

Lin Li looked around at the ground in front of him and found that the water droplets falling from the huge stalactites formed small puddles after falling on the ground.

Due to the terrain, the water in the puddles accumulated and overflowed, flowing to lower areas.

Let's continue walking forward. Lin Li said to Wu Qingfang.

Yes. Wu Qingfang nodded, and then controlled the white light group suspended in the sky to land, letting it fly to the front to illuminate the road below.

The white light group you created using this spiritual weapon lasted for a long time. Did it consume a lot of spiritual energy? Lin Li asked curiously.

Not big. This spiritual weapon consumes very little spiritual energy. Wu Qingfang turned around and explained after hearing Lin Li's inquiry.

The two people continued to move deeper into the cave. The deeper they went, the wider the road under their feet became and the space became larger.

At this time, Lin Li and Wu Qingfang estimated that they had already penetrated three to four hundred meters underground.

Wow, wow, wow...

There was a very clear sound of water flowing in the distance. The water droplets that Lin Li and Wu Qingfang had seen falling on the stalactites overflowed from the puddles and flowed deep into the cave.

At this place, the water gathered together to form a stream, rushing toward the depths of the cave at a faster speed.

Wu Qingfang looked at the stream that appeared in front of her and said in surprise, I didn't expect that the water droplets falling from the stalactites would eventually form such a stream!

It is foreseeable that water flows downwards, and those water droplets gather together and eventually become a stream... Lin Li said with a smile.

The two people continued to walk deeper into the cave, but because a stream appeared in front of them, they had to move aside to prevent their shoes from getting wet by the stream.

More than half an hour has passed since Lin Li and Wu Qingfang set out, and they have not yet reached the end of the cave.

The pitch-black cave ahead seems endless, as if no matter how much you walk forward, you can't reach your imaginary destination.

We have been walking for more than half an hour, and we have not yet reached the deepest part of the cave. The depth of this cave is much more exaggerated than I imagined. Wu Qingfang, who was walking on the street to clear the way, said with emotion.

If she hadn't been accompanied by someone, if Wu Qingfang had walked alone for so long and hadn't reached the depths of the cave, she would have stopped and returned the same way.

Let's continue walking forward for a while. If we still haven't reached the end of the cave or encounter something valuable, then let's go back! Lin Li thought for a moment and said.

After all, if you keep marching endlessly into the depths of the cave without gaining anything, then there is no need to waste time exploring.

Yes. Wu Qingfang nodded after hearing Lin Li's suggestion.

Then, the two people slightly accelerated their pace.

After about ten minutes, the front of the cave suddenly became clear.

A huge space appeared in front of Lin Li and Wu Qingfang.

Deep in the originally dark cave, there was actually an extremely large underground space, with an area as large as dozens of football fields.

Wow... Wu Qingfang looked at the huge underground space that appeared in front of her, her eyes widened in surprise, her red lips opened, and she exclaimed.

Lin Li was also shocked by the scene he saw in front of him. He did not expect that there would be such a huge space deep in the cave he accidentally found to escape the heavy rain.
