Chapter 80 New gaps
The cave was very dark, but Xu Xin, who stepped into the cave, could clearly hear the sound of wind coming from the depths of the cave.
After eating a red berry, everything unfolded clearly before his eyes.
This black bear cave is not very deep, and you can see the end 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. The broken stones outside the gap were scattered on the ground, as if something had poked the gap open from inside.
The weird "Wooing" sound came from here.
This should be the kind of small hole that the person on the regional channel was talking about. Listening to this sound, it sounded mysterious and indeed sounded like the entrance to a dungeon.
At this time, the map did not show any red dots ahead, but Xu Xin was not careless. He knew very well that those underground monsters would not appear on the map until they emerged from the ground.
Although he was now within the protection range of the tree house, even if those monsters could get out, they would not survive for a few seconds, but if they suddenly attacked him, he could not guarantee that he would not be injured, so it was better to be careful.
Before going in, fill up the buffs first. Xu Xin took out oranges and apricots and ate them again. Feeling the double buff of mental and physical strength, she took a deep breath and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"Hey!" Just after taking two steps towards the gap, Coco on the shoulder suddenly shouted.
"There's danger!" Xu Xin became alert. He was very familiar with Coco's cry. After these days of running in, he immediately understood what Coco meant. There was danger ahead.
But you must go even if there is danger.
The gap was too narrow and the spear was very restricted. Xu Xin took out the iron sword he had just made from the leather scabbard. If any monster emerges from the gap, Xu Xin can directly slash it with his sword.
The gap was so small that Xu Xin had to turn slightly sideways to enter. He glanced inside. It was very deep, and there were corners. No matter how deep it was, he couldn't see it.
"Ouch!" Silver King shouted, sitting there helplessly. With its shoulder width which is much wider than that of an ordinary wolf, it cannot squeeze into this gap.
"Okay, just destroy my only general." Xu Xin was helpless.
If the entrance to the cave was just narrow, he could still try to dig it out with a manuscript, but if the entire passage was so narrow, there would be no other way. He couldn't dig all the way in, so how long would it take.
Xu Xin had no choice but to let the Silver King stay at the entrance of the gap. He and Coco entered first, and then looked for opportunities to see if there were other entrances to bring the Silver King in.
If it weren't for the fact that backpacks couldn't hold live animals, Xu Xin would have really wanted to put the Silver King in his backpack and take him inside.
After comforting the Silver King, leaving a piece of meat for him, and asking him to guard the entrance of the cave and howl if anything happened, Xu Xin took Coco and entered the small gap sideways.
This newly emerged passage can no longer be called a cave, it can only be described as a small slit. Just getting into this slit, the weird "whining" sound of the wind immediately became obvious.
People always don't feel safe in a small space, especially in situations where danger may occur at any time. Xu Xin braced herself and walked forward slowly sideways.
Only the entrance of this narrow gap showed signs of being newly opened, while the inside was densely covered with dust. There were also various traces of time on the stone wall. It could be distinguished at a glance that this was definitely not a new gap. This gap has long existed, but the entrance was blocked before.
After entering, Xu Xin discovered that the direction of the gap passage was slightly inclined downward, which meant that the further he went, the deeper his position went below the ground.
"Hey!" Coco on the shoulder suddenly jumped down, tugged on Xu Xin's leather pants, and then ran forward along the gap.
"Keke, don't run, it's dangerous!" Coco disappeared around the corner in an instant, and Xu Xin shouted subconsciously.
But then he thought 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.
Is this little guy trying to get himself out of trouble?
Gritting his teeth, Xu Xin sped up and followed.
This narrow cave became narrower and narrower as we walked, and before we walked a few dozen meters, we already had to turn sideways to pass.
"Good guy, if I were a little fatter, I might not be able to get through it!" Xu Xin walked through the gap with difficulty.
"Hey!" Xu Xin saw a little head sticking out from the corner a few meters ahead.
After walking a few steps, Xu Xin finally understood why Coco stopped here.
At the corner, there are three paths to choose from. They say they are roads, but they are actually gaps. One continues forward, one goes left, and one goes right.
"...Three directions?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
He had a guess in his mind.
Only one of these three directions may be correct. If you choose the wrong direction, it may be a trap and you will never recover.
In this gap that is so narrow that you can only turn sideways, there is only one monster, Xu Xin, who can still deal with it. If something comes out from all directions, it will go directly to see the King of Hell.
You can't choose so easily.
Xu Xin looked in three directions, and there was a bend in each gap not far away, making it impossible to see what was ahead. There are no special markings at the entrance to the gap.
He checked the map and found that the maze wasn't shown at all, but the black bear caves and jungles on the ground.
After another long day of investigation, Xu Xin found no obvious clues.
"Is this... is it really just luck? Or does it not matter if you go in the wrong direction?" Xu Xin frowned.
Coco ran back and forth in front of the three roads, glancing inside from time to time, but couldn't make a choice.
"Keke, didn't you feel the danger inside just now? Can you feel in which direction the danger is now?" Xu Xin asked Coco in a low voice.
"Hey..." Coco's body running back and forth paused for a moment, and then pointed to the passage on the left.
...then pointed to the middle passage, and finally pointed to the right passage.
"...are all in danger?"
"嘤!"
"Which one is the most dangerous?"
"Huh." Coco shook her head to show that she didn't know.
Xu Xin took a deep breath to calm down.
What is this? Danger in all directions?
Then just try them one by one, they are all dangerous anyway.
No, you can't be so reckless.
Xu Xin thought for a while and sent a private message to Li Wenxi: "Have you found the entrance?"
Li Wenxi once told him that her tree house was surrounded by mines. If the entrances appeared in caves, then there was a high possibility that she would find the entrance.
Li Wenxi replied almost instantly: "Found it! I read what the person on the regional channel said, so I went to a mine with strange noises, and sure enough I found a new small entrance."
Xu Xin made a voice call and was answered instantly.
"Have you gone in?" Xu Xin asked in a low voice.
"Come in, this is it... there are many side roads in there, I'm lost..." Li Wenxi's voice was a little embarrassed.
"Lost?" Xu Xin was a little confused, "You went in so casually?"
"What do you mean casually? I left a mark! But who knew there were too many side roads, and I would get lost while walking." Li Wenxi muttered.
Many side roads?
Xu Xin looked at the three roads ahead. It turns out that this is not just a fork in the road, this turns out to be a cave maze!
