Chapter 229: The Dark Abyss (I)

Neither of them objected to Jenn's suggestion. First, what he said also makes sense, in this kind of situation where you can't see your fingers, rash action will only bring trouble. And Jenn had already shown his ingenuity more than once along the way, so Tilis didn't suspect anything. As for Aina, she had already fallen for Jenn's charm spell, and in this kind of place full of rich dark elements, the charm of the charm spell was enhanced several times, and the current half-elf ranger girl was almost obedient to Jenn, so naturally she would not object. Under Jenn's guidance, the three of them walked through the narrow hanging corridors to a cave on the side wall of the Great Hollow, where Jenn activated a piece of Immameter Crystal in place of a torch as a light source. It's just that in this kind of place where the dark element is rich, even magic equipment doesn't have much effect, and even the eternal crystal that can permanently release light only forms a circle of light with a diameter of about two meters. But Tilis didn't care about this, for her, as long as there was light, it was enough. Therefore, the priest just curled up in the corner with her legs in her hands, quietly staring at the crystal in front of her, but she didn't know what to do.

"What do we do next......... Mr. Jenn ........."

Tilis muttered to herself, and Jenn shrugged her shoulders at the sound of her words.

"Let's see what happens, if it's somewhere else, maybe we can contact Captain Steve, but for now......... I guess there's nothing to be done, and I don't know if Captain Steve and they'll keep going to find us, or just leave. After all, in their opinion. We might have died if we fell from such a height, and there were cultists in front of us. It's normal if you choose to leave. ”

“…………………”

Hearing Jenn's answer, Tilis didn't answer. Just hugged his body tightly. She knew very well that Jenn was not wrong, and in fact it was not the first time that Tillise had encountered such a situation, and during the adventure, there were often companions who fell behind for various reasons, and there were also people like Tilis and Aina who fell into the trap because they were not careful. But Captain Steve rarely stopped to go to them, everyone knew that his choice was not wrong, and the adventurer took the money and sold his life, and he was always ready to sacrifice. It is impossible to put the lives of the majority at risk for the sake of a few. Otherwise. It's hard for an adventurous team to last. Therefore, every adventurer has been prepared before setting off, if they fall behind or encounter an accident, they can only blame themselves for being inferior to others, this is a marathon, if they have no way to follow, then it is their own problem. Because everyone knows very well that no one will stop and wait for them.

Although the truth is clear, Tilis still feels a pang of heartache at the thought that she will be abandoned by her partner. She felt extremely sad. Although Tillise didn't want them to face more danger in order to find themselves, in this case, the abandonment itself would not be comfortable to think about.

Thinking of this, Tillise shook her head vigorously. Leaving the deep self-pity behind her, she pulled herself together and asked again.

"So. What do we do next? ”

In response to Tilis's inquiry, Jenn reached out and pushed his glasses.

"You don't need to do anything. I'll go around and look around and look for an exit. A place like this can't be without secret passages. And you are to stay and guard the camp. Aina, Tillise will be handed over to you. ”

"Okay, Mr. Noble, don't worry, leave it to me."

Hearing Jenn's order, Aina immediately raised her hand and replied. Tillis, on the other hand, hesitated, nodded and did not speak. Her stick had been lost when she fell into the gap, and she didn't know where it had gone. If Tillith still had that stick in her hand, she might be able to help Jenn get directions to the exit, but after losing it, there was nothing Tilis could do. If it were the High Priest of the Silver Temple, she would still be able to ask for guidance from the Divine Envoy at such times, but Tilis was just a low-level priest, and without her blessed Guidance Staff, she could no longer get any guidance from the gods.

After receiving the answers from the two, Jenn turned to leave, and Tilis only heard a sound of footsteps gradually moving away, which made her feel a little troubled for a while. For a moment, Tilis even feared that Jenn would abandon her and Aina and let them die in eternal darkness. However, she still forcibly suppressed her nervousness, and just stared at the crystal in front of her and prayed silently.

However, compared to Tilis, Aina seemed quite calm, or the half-elf ranger girl was as energetic as ever at this time, and I saw her leaning against the wall, drinking the water from the water bag while taking small sips of dry food by the light of the crystal. Seeing Aina so cheerful and relaxed, Tilis felt a lot more and more stressed. She held the water bag in her hand, but she didn't dare to drink more. I don't know if it's because of being in the dark.,At this moment, in the girl's mind.,One uneasy thought after another gradually emerged.。 They don't know where they are, and they don't know what's going to happen around them. And she and Aina only carried enough food for three to five days, and if the water in the water bag was saved for a few days, then maybe it could last for a few days. Even though Tillise herself was now parched, she decided to continue to endure it rather than drink it all at once. After all, they don't know how long they're going to be here, and what if they drink the water now, what will happen in the future?

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, she pulled out the water bag, thought for a moment, and then put it back again. At this moment, the girl's heart was already full of panic and uneasiness, for her, if she could not leave here for a day, then it would be impossible for her to calm down for a day.

Unbeknownst to Tilis, this was the reason why Jenn had deliberately left them here. Because of the Death Shadow Gate fragments, this place is filled with the magic of the dark element. The magic of the dark element is quite dangerous for ordinary people, and it does not cause damage to the human body very obviously. But it can erode the spirit of others, so that they can no longer feel positive feelings such as joy and happiness. Rather, it is gradually influenced by negative emotions such as worry, despair, sadness, etc. In fact, in the Hopeless Wilderness of the Netherworld, there are many travelers who have been eroded by the magic of the dark elements during their long journeys and have been turned into walking corpses. Whatever their reasons for setting foot on that land in the first place, no matter how important their goals and convictions, they will eventually be consumed by great despair and fear under the magic of the Desperate Wilderness. Thus completely losing the meaning of its own existence.

However, Aina didn't seem to be aware of Tilis's worries and troubles at all, and saw that she ate the dry food in her hand in two bites, and then drank another sip of clear and cold spring water, and then turned her head and looked at Tilis curiously.

"Aren't you hungry, Tillise? If you don't eat something, you won't be able to survive. ”

"No, I ..............."

Hearing Aina's words, Tilis hesitated for a moment. Then her gaze lingered on the hydration bag in Aina's hand for a moment, then shook her head.

"We don't know how long we're going to be here, but I think we need to save some food and water. I'm not very hungry right now..............."

"That's not going to work, Tilis. If you go on like this, you won't be able to hold on. Be happy, we've all survived this situation, right? Isn't it worth celebrating? Such a sad face. Nothing good is going to happen. ”

“……………”

Hearing Aina's words, Tilis smiled wryly. She didn't want to be as happy and lively as Aina. Relax a little. But I don't know if it's because of the darkness around her or something else, now Tilis only feels worried, and an invisible pressure oppresses Tillise from the darkness in all directions, almost making her breathless.

Seeing Tilis's expression, Aina stopped what she was doing, and then she smiled.

"Since Tillise can't be happy, then it's up to me to make you happy!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Aina's words, Tillis didn't react to what was happening, but the next moment, she was thrown to the ground by Aina, and then, Tillis felt Aina's lips just stick to her lips.

"Uh-huh!"

This sudden attack made Tilis's eyes widen in surprise, and for a moment she didn't know what to do, although Aina and Tillise had occasionally had some girl-specific jokes before, but now this scene has clearly exceeded the boundary of "play". She could even feel Aina nimbly pry her teeth open with her tongue, and then the sweet, cold spring water passed from Aina's mouth to Tilis's mouth. It seems that the Half-Elf Ranger Maiden had taken a sip of water beforehand and put it into Tilis's mouth.

And Tilis, who was already unbearable, had no way to resist this sudden nectar from the sky, and in the face of the spring water "delivered" by Aina, she almost received all the orders. The tongues of the two were entangled because of this, and at this moment, Tilis only felt that her brain was in chaos, and her body had completely lost her strength, and she couldn't even push Aina away. Not only that, but she could also feel the half-elf ranger girl caressing her body through her clothes, and even playing with it mischievously.

"No, don't, Aina..............."

Tilis shook her head reluctantly, trying to dodge Aina's attack, but deep down in the girl's heart, there was a vague desire for further action. Because just when she was entangled with Aina, Tilis felt as if she had flown into the clouds, and the troubles and worries that had plagued her before seemed to have completely disappeared at that time. But now, with the two parting, that uneasiness seemed to be stirring again, looming towards her again.

"Really, Tillise is really sensitive........."

While whispering in Tilis's ear, Aina gently bit the other party's earlobe, and feeling Aina's movements, Tilith closed her eyes tightly and blushed. Her mind was completely blank at the moment, and she didn't know what to do.

Because of this, Tilis didn't notice the faint red glow that flickered in Aina's eyes at this moment. She could only feel the half-elf girl's hand roaming over her body, caressing, teasing her nerves. And Tillise could hardly think about anything except grit her teeth and endure that special feeling, she could feel that Aina's touch was getting deeper and deeper, more and more .........

But just as Tilis was getting ready, Aina suddenly withdrew her hand and walked away from her. Tillis, on the other hand, opened her eyes in confusion and looked at each other. Before she could say anything, a dark shadow flashed, and the next moment, Jenn appeared in front of them again.

"Mr. Jenn!"

Seeing Jenn, Tilis's chaotic mind suddenly cleared up a lot, and she hurriedly sat up against the wall, and at the same time shrank into the darkness, for fear that Jenn would notice her disheveled appearance. However, Jenn didn't seem to care about her, on the contrary, he stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the next moment, the eternal crystal that originally radiated brilliance was immediately extinguished. Faced with this sudden scene, Tilis was also startled, but before she could ask anything, she saw a finger pressed on her lips, and then, Jenn's voice emerged from Tilis's ear.

"Don't talk, someone's coming."

Ay?

Hearing this, Tillise was stunned for a moment, and then she listened attentively.

Sure enough, at this time, there was a faint sound outside. (To be continued......)
