Chapter 216: The Cave

The crevice is not narrow enough for two people to pass side by side, and behind the crack is a long upward ramp, making it impossible to see the space inside. The pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info holding the crystal lamp high and walking in the stone crevice, the surrounding environment is as silent as the afterlife, only the subtle and monotonous ticking sound continues to echo, and the sound is obviously faint, but it sounds as amazing as thunder in the silent environment. It was a water-type element that hid in the humid air, and after being cooled by the cold rock at the top of the cave, it turned into dew and kept falling, forming several shallow puddles on the ground.

Going up the ramp, the sides of the ramp are covered with messy gravel, but the middle is flat, and not a single gravel is left, so you can see that someone has ever penetrated here. When you climb the slope, you can see an irregular oval cave, which is actually not small, at least when the seven members of the expedition team move in it, they will not feel cramped at all.

"Once it rains as they pass through here, there's a very good chance they'll set up camp here, that's almost certain. Pannis pointed to the environment of the cave: "Look, it's really good for camping, well, there's another gap over there as an exit, and the problem of having to have multiple entrances and exits can be solved." ”

Pannith was right, it was a great place to camp, in every sense of the word, and it was clear that they weren't the only ones who thought so, as soon as they stepped into the oval cave, they were greeted by an abandoned fire. It can be seen that the previous occupants of the cave did not leave in a hurry, not only were the traces of life around the fire cleaned, but even the fire was carefully doused with water to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the embers.

At the foot of the cave, in addition to the fire, the only obvious trace left by the previous user, there is a small pile of firewood and some gravel, which is estimated to be the remaining materials for the camp, but unfortunately, the firewood has long become damp and rotten, and it will turn into debris at the slightest touch, only the gravel next to it may still be useful, but in this cave, the last thing that is missing is gravel.

"It's good, it's a good fit. Catherine approached the abandoned fire, drew her sword and tested it inside, and waved her hand, "Then let's move, Lina and Freya, you two go and get some gravel, and make the outer edge of this fire a little higher, Pannis and Mr. Dilly, you two are fast, then please go to the bottom of the mountain and get back the firewood we collected on the way, Vivian, you prepare the firewood for the subsequent drying work, oh, not only firewood." Eva, you prepare sleeping bags and other supplies with me, and the tent is not needed, not in the cave. ”

"What about me, what about me. The voice came from the backpack behind Lina: "Sister Catherine, what shall I do?"

"You can stop playing with that skull. Catherine sighed and said helplessly, "Don't try to attach it to your cervical spine, if you mess around again, go back to the box." ”

"Wow, got it. The fawn whimpered and retracted into her backpack, pretending she didn't exist.

The girls, who were accustomed to the adventurous life, had long been accustomed to the work of survival in the wild under various terrains, and with Catherine's instructions, everyone quickly took action, and within ten minutes, a small camp had basically taken shape, and the warm flames began to crackle and burn, illuminating the entire cave.

For life in the wild, fire is the most important existence, whether there is a campfire lit in a camp or not, the feeling is completely different, even if the crystal lamp and crystal furnace are used at the same time, it cannot replace the campfire in terms of feeling. The camp, which had been dark and cold just now, immediately became full of life as the first flames rose, as if a rigid picture had suddenly come to life.

Beside the campfire, the girls were close to the campfire, baking their damp clothes and equipment at the temperature of the flame, but the girls did not focus on baking, but carefully examined some of the things they had found in the cave not long ago.

The cave is not small, even if the previous user left not in a hurry, according to the habit of adventurers, they cleaned up the traces left by themselves when they left, but these cleanups are often only focused on safety and hygiene matters, such as handling domestic garbage, such as extinguishing flames, such as taking away all dangerous goods and other work, the purpose of cleaning is to protect rather than to hide, so in a camp, there will always be some information about the previous user, and now what everyone has to do is to interpret these trivial information, as much as possible What happened to the expedition team decades ago。 If we can find out everything that happened back then, it will be of great help to everyone to find the lair of the divine servant and avoid possible dangers.

However, this is not easy, and it is a blessing to find a notebook of the deceased as before, which is an unrepeatable coincidence, so if you want to restore the process of the past, you need to deduce it from the fragments of the past that are constantly being discovered.

"They stayed here for three or four days. Pannis baked his hands on the flame: "You can tell from the firewood that is left. Comparing the traces left by the initial collection of firewood and the amount of firewood left behind can almost be used to estimate how long they have been inhabited. ”

"Why did it take so long?" Lina asked, puzzled, "Shouldn't they have entered the core as soon as possible to start exploring, is it because they have encountered a long period of heavy rain?"

"No, there are very few long-term rainstorms in the Forest of Death, and even if there are, do you think that if we have a long period of rain, we will delay our trip for three or four days?" Pannis shook his head, "Actually, I think it's normal for them to spend a little more time here, and it should be strange to spend the night like we did." ”

"Why? Ah, I see. As soon as Lina asked the question, she found the answer: "They don't know the specific end of the Temple of Danakus at this time, and there should be only an approximate range, so from here, they need to explore carefully." Well, since they finally left prepared, doesn't it mean that they didn't have much to gain here, so they moved on to the next location. ”

"Well, I think so. Pannis said, staring at a black object that looked like wood, "Catherine, come and see this." (To be continued.) )
