Chapter 64 Light in the Darkness
The further inside you go, the colder it feels.
And it's accompanied by a musty smell.
Lin Fan knew that this was the reason for not seeing sunlight for a long time.
Although I don't know if I will find Big Big Wolf if I walk on blindly, but now I can only bite the bullet and go on.
There is more and more moss on the surrounding cave walls, and the road underfoot is becoming more and more slippery.
Lin Fan carefully observed his surroundings while groping forward cautiously.
As the cave gradually narrows, the range that the moonlight can illuminate also gradually shrinks.
Just when the radius of the moonstone's light shrank to about ten centimeters, the road ahead was blocked again.
After groping around for a while, Lin Fan once again discovered two forks.
"Like this again?"
Lin Fan took the moonstone and looked at the two cave entrances respectively, but because of the severe lack of light, he could see nothing.
"Which one should I choose?"
After standing there and hesitating for a while, Lin Fan once again used the old method of ordering his troops and generals and resigned himself to fate.
"Why is it still on the left? Is this God's will?"
Lin Fan stepped into the cave on the left again at the same point as the last time he ordered troops.
This choice also means that the probability of encountering the Big Big Wolf has been reduced to one-fourth.
After walking in the cave for a short while, the light of the moonstone in Lin Fan's hand finally disappeared.
It's not that the moonstone is lost or useless.
But it's just too dark here, so dark that it covers up the glimmer of light emitted by the moonstone.
“This cave seems to have no end, where does it lead to?
Is it heaven or hell?
Will I be greeted by a soaring sky or a bottomless abyss?"
Lin Fan stood there without making any movement, with darkness in front and behind him.
In absolute darkness, everyone will have random thoughts, and Lin Fan is no exception.
At this time, he was also a little timid and a little scared.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Lin Fan boldly stepped forward again.
But just a few steps away, something even more horrifying happened to Lin Fan.
The surrounding oxygen seemed to be insufficient, and there was a feeling similar to altitude sickness.
"Can I just quit?"
Lin Fan began to hesitate and stood there breathing heavily.
He knew that if he continued to walk forward, he would probably die from lack of oxygen and suffocation.
"It seems like we have no choice but to give up on Big Wolf."
In desperation, Lin Fan could only choose to retreat. Although he didn't know what was in this unfathomable cave, going forward would undoubtedly be a dead end.
Slowly retreating, the feeling of hypoxia gradually disappeared, and the moonstone in his hand gradually regained some brightness.
When he reached the entrance of the forked cave, Lin Fan looked to the right and groped for the cave from which he came.
"Fortunately, I can still tell the difference between left and right."
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he touched the cave.
In such a dark place, the most terrifying thing is not being able to tell the direction.
Fortunately, there is this hole that can be used as a reference.
After standing there and resting for a while, Lin Fan began to hesitate again, facing him with two choices.
One is the entrance of the cave that you walked through before, and you can go back the same way.
The second one is another fork on the right. I don’t know what’s inside, and I don’t know if it will be like the fork just now.
"No matter what, I'll quit again at worst."
Clenching his teeth, Lin Fan stepped into the forked cave that he had never entered before.
Just like before, the pale light of the moonlight in my hand was gradually drowned by darkness.
"If you continue to walk forward, if you still feel a lack of oxygen, exit immediately!"
While thinking about it, Lin Fan slowly groped forward.
After walking for about a minute, the feeling of altitude sickness came again.
Standing on the spot, breathing heavily, Lin Fan glanced at the still dark bottomless black hole.
"We can only choose to give up again, and if we continue forward, we will really die of lack of oxygen."
After shaking his head, Lin Fan turned around and prepared to leave.
But the moment he turned around, he saw a bright light in front of him out of the corner of his eye.
Turning around suddenly, there was still boundless darkness.
"It's strange, I obviously saw it."
Lin Fan was certain that he really saw the light when he turned around.
In this pitch-black hole, a flash of light was so dazzling that it was impossible to mistake it.
But now, why is it missing again?
Following the action just now, Lin Fan turned around again, and that flash of light appeared in the corner of his eye again.
He turned around excitedly, but the light disappeared again.
"Holy shit, what's going on?
Can I only see it with my peripheral vision?"
Thinking of this, Lin Fan slowly turned around again, and when the bright light in the corner of his eyes lit up again, he suddenly stopped.
"There is real light!"
Lin Fan was overjoyed, but at the same time several questions popped up in his mind.
"What exactly is the light ahead?
Is it the end?
If there is still no oxygen ahead, will I be able to walk there?
Will it be dangerous even if we go to that bright place?"
However, in this extremely dark place, that gleam of light seems to have infinite attraction.
Squeezing the small jade bottle in his hand tightly, Lin Fan felt a little relieved.
"No matter what, I'm seeking wealth in danger. If I can't hold on any longer, I'll run back. In the worst case, I'll summon the Ghost Emperor of Hell again."
After Lin Fan took a few deep breaths of air, he quickly walked sideways towards the bright light.
Just after taking two steps, Lin Fan suddenly felt something stepped on his feet.
"It seems to be round!
It’s quite hard.”
Lin Fan gently kicked the things under his feet and walked forward.
"Crack!"
Lin Fan didn't know what he stepped on again, and suddenly there was a crisp sound like a broken bone, which scared him so much that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"It seems like I stepped on some bones. Could it be a monster that broke into the cave?"
After calming down a little, Lin Fan felt the condition of the soles of his feet and continued to walk forward boldly.
"Crack! Click!"
A crisp sound continued to come from the soles of the feet, and the echoes surrounded the dark cave, which seemed extremely clear.
After walking for more than ten steps, there was no more strange noise under my feet. At the same time, the bright light that I had been staring at with my peripheral vision suddenly disappeared.
He stretched out his hand and touched it. His hands were covered with moss and there was no road ahead.
"What happened? Is this the end point?"
Lin Fan was startled and turned around in a panic.
Just when I turned around, that bright light appeared again.
"Is there a ninety-degree turn here?
Because I walked sideways before, I felt like there was no way!"
Following that flash of light, Lin Fan then walked sideways.
After walking a few steps, the direction of the cave changed again. After turning three turns in a row, the situation was still the same as before.
At this time, Lin Fan's breathing became more rapid, and the air here was already very thin.
"I can't go any further. I've reached my limit. If I continue, I will really die."
Just when Lin Fan was about to retreat, a fierce wolf howl suddenly sounded.
"Big Big Wolf is right in front!"
