Linghu Lan had encountered this situation many times, where she felt like she was walking and it would never end.
If it were the supernatural world, she could categorize it as a ghost wall, and in ghost stories, snakes are often depicted as powerful beings, inherently carrying a mysterious aura.
But Linghu Lan didn't think the snake in this world was a deity from ghost stories. At least in ghost stories, deities kill without regard to rules; if you offend one, you might be entangled and killed by the deity.
But the snakes in this world are clearly the same as Alai from last time; they all have to abide by a certain set of rules, and only the loser can eat them.
Based on this understanding, could the fact that the Three-Eyed Giant ate those who hadn't been exposed to the rainbow light last time also be interpreted as a simple selection process?
The thought flashed through Linghu Lan's mind and quickly disappeared.
Linghu Lan frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "A normal person can walk five to six kilometers in an hour. The two of us walked at a fast pace, about ten kilometers, and we didn't find any suspicious traces in those ten kilometers. Something is definitely amiss."
“That’s right, the cave is too long. Biologically speaking, snakes don’t usually dig their own caves; they usually live in caves dug by other animals. Even if this snake is special, its cave shouldn’t be this long.”
"Are we trapped in a maze? Or perhaps we haven't actually gone far, but are just going in circles?"
Linghu Lan frowned. Encountering such strange things was too troublesome. Perhaps, she should just blow them up!
Tantai Yu had a sudden inspiration and said, "The Handan Yellow Bird!"
"Spatial power!" Linghu Lan's eyes lit up.
Based on previous game experience, the NPCs in the game may cover up the truth, but they will also provide some clues within the game.
They talked a lot with the snake about the Yellow Bird, and mentioned that the Yellow Bird possesses spatial power. They assumed that the entire cave was affected by spatial power.
The power of space could be spatial overlap, spatial extension, or spatial distortion; anything is possible.
If they had encountered a spatial overlap, they might have already traveled to another time and space, but that is obviously impossible; they are still in the cave.
The most likely scenario is spatial extension. The same distance could be infinitely extended under the spatial power of the Handan Yellow Bird. A one-meter distance could be extended to ten meters, and a one-kilometer cave could be extended to ten kilometers.
Having figured this out, Tantai Yu and Linghu Lan immediately decided to turn back.
The two had just turned around when they heard footsteps coming from ahead.
Tantai Yu and Linghu Lan exchanged a glance, and the two of them immediately slipped away and hid in the hollow.
Before long, they saw three people—Zhou Yuming, Tan Kun, and Chen Man—who were walking in the other direction, appear in front of them.
The three people were panting heavily and covered in sweat, indicating that they had been walking for quite some time.
Zhou Yuming said, "Tan Kun, when will we reach the end? We've been walking for so long, we really can't go on anymore."
Tan Kun frowned. "Hang in there a little longer. This cave is just too big. We need to get to the very end and go through the whole cave before we talk about it!"
"I feel something's wrong. This cave seems to have no end," Chen Man said, panting heavily.
Linghu Lan and Tantai Yu emerged from the hollow, exchanged a glance, and asked solemnly, "Didn't you go that way? How did you reappear behind us?"
