In other words, the cave was carved out of the cliff.
It can effectively avoid being attacked by monsters on land, greatly improving the safety rate.
Carving a cave into a cliff is no easy task.
Lia felt a deep respect for her savior.
The facilities inside the cave were also quite elaborate. There was a long stone table and chairs, as well as a large water tank filled with what appeared to be 'clear water'.
A curtain made of banana leaves was placed next to it, with a funnel-shaped shower head above it; it seemed to be a shower room!
Leah's eyelids twitched wildly, her face filled with disbelief.
She treated the water in her own body as a precious resource, drinking it all back into her body, while the owner of this cave actually had the luxury of taking a bath with clean water.
That's incredibly extravagant!
Lia's awe for her savior, whom she had never met, rose to a new level.
Just then, she smelled an enticing aroma, and her long-starved stomach rumbled loudly.
In the middle of the cave, there was a stone table with two stone bowls on it, containing smoked meat stewed with wild vegetables and bean soup.
Like a controlled puppet, Leah sat down on the stone bench, drooling.
She blinked hard, touching the still-warm food with her hands, feeling as if she were in a dream.
Delicious food, carving caves into cliffs, and possessing remarkable manual dexterity to make all sorts of stone furniture...
The owner of this cave seems to be extremely powerful.
"Oh no, what if that person takes a fancy to my body?"
Just as Lia was about to pick up the stone bowl and start eating, she was suddenly startled.
In a lawless area like Dragon Forest, even if the other party wanted to do something, I was powerless to resist in my current weakened state.
The best course of action now would be to finish your meal quickly, drink plenty of water, and leave this place.
After all, no one can say for sure whether the person who saved her was a kind-hearted person with no ulterior motives.
However, leaving like this would seem too heartless.
Leah was caught in a dilemma.
"Ah! Never mind, eating is the most important thing!"
When her stomach growled, Leah realized that her saliva had already stretched into strands and was dripping into the holes of her tattered black stockings.
She picked up the stone bowl and showed off the wild vegetable soup.
"It's so delicious, so incredibly delicious, waaaaah~"
And then there was the smoked meat stewed with wild vegetables. The aroma of the meat and the sweetness of the wild vegetables blended perfectly together. With each bite, it felt as if an elegant fairy was dancing ballet on Leah's tongue. The pleasure was almost equivalent to the divine blessing of a level-up.
Leah hadn't eaten anything decent for ten days, only mushrooms and wild vegetables. In just two minutes, she devoured a bowl of bean soup and smoked meat stewed with wild vegetables, leaving not a single crumb.
They even licked the bowl clean, savoring every last drop of the broth.
"Hiccup~"
Leah patted her round little belly and let out a burp.
After finishing her meal, she stared intently at the makeshift bathroom: since it has this, it means I can use it, right?
She was so dirty she looked like a beggar; she didn't even dare smell it herself. Everywhere she went, her hands would be covered in dust. This was a very distressing thing for an eighteen-year-old girl.
"I'll slip away after my shower, leaving some gold coins as a reward!"
Leah decided to be cautious. She had heard that some beautiful female adventurers were captured and enslaved to satisfy their lust. She didn't want to gamble that her savior was a kind-hearted person who asked for nothing in return.
She took off one of her ripped black over-the-knee stockings, and as she was about to take off the other one—
Hiss.
Hiss!
A strange sound came from behind.
With a rustling sound, the camouflage curtain made of vines was lifted.
A brown snake head, as big as a bucket, poked its head in.
It stared at Leah, who was taking off her socks.
【Rock Serpent】, a level 30 purple rare monster.
They average 15 meters in length and like to search for bird nests on cliffs to eat the eggs.
A series of messages flashed through Leah's mind.
"Hello, there are no bird eggs here."
Leah, still in the position of lifting her right foot to take off her sock, said dryly.
"Hiss."
The rock snake flicked its tongue, its red, triangular eyes fixed on Leah.
"hiss!"
The battle erupted instantly.
The rock serpent opened its huge mouth and bit at Leah, but Leah didn't even bother to take off her socks and grabbed the Firebird Feather Sword to slash heavily at it!
clang--
With a crisp sound, the Firebird Feather Sword seemed to strike steel.
The rock snake's head is covered with hard scales; without sufficient strength, it cannot be harmed.
Normally, Lia could break through the Rock Serpent's defenses with one hand, but the problem was that she had been hungry for too long and was also suffering from the aftereffects of eating poisonous mushrooms, leaving her with only about 20% of her fighting spirit.
One negative status effect after another struck her, and Leah was horrified to discover that she was no match for the Rock Serpent!
She felt a tremendous shock, her hands went numb, and she couldn't hold the sword at all, so it immediately fell to the ground.
The shock traveled along her arm to her entire body, causing Leah's head to buzz and her vision to vibrate wildly.
With a thud, she was slammed against the wall by the rock snake, and a sharp pain shot through her back.
Lia gritted her teeth, stood up unsteadily, and looked at the Firebird Feather Sword that had landed two meters away.
The rock serpent squeezed most of its body into the cave. With a length of over ten meters and a body as thick as a water bucket, it was extremely imposing. It shoved the Firebird Feather Sword outwards, causing it to fall directly outside the cave.
The greatsword that Leah had spent a fortune to buy was now slipping away from her.
