Chapter 56 Grotto



The magic used last night was taught by Edwin, and it is called Space Rift. The enemy is killed by the tearing force generated by the rupture of space magic.

According to Edwin's narration, during the period of the high elves, when the Star Clan was among the three royal families, it was the weakest before level nine. Only when it reached level nine with the support of powerful magic, the Star Clan's space magic could truly exert its due power.

With a lot of random thoughts in his mind, Lin Xingchen shook his head and meditated to pass the time.

Not long after entering meditation, Lin Xingchen felt something strange. In the past, he could gather a large number of elements when meditating, but today he didn't sense a single element in half a day.

Such a thing made his hair stand on end and he wanted to withdraw immediately, but it was too late. A strange wave made his mental power spin rapidly.

Countless images flashed through his mind like a movie that was fast-forwarded ten times. Just when he thought he was about to have a mental breakdown, the images suddenly returned to their normal playback speed.

A cave appeared before his eyes. Nothing could be seen in the dark cave. Just as he was wondering, he felt himself moving.

Then a torch illuminated the cave, and Lin Xingchen followed the figure holding the torch and walked into the cave.

The cave is very deep and the space becomes larger as you go inside. The forks in the road that appear from time to time in front of you make Lin Xingchen feel a little scared, as he is afraid that a huge mouth will jump out of the cave and swallow him.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally saw a huge stone door. After pushing open the stone door, the figure lit a torch beside the door.

As the torch was lit, the entire space suddenly lit up with countless lights, illuminating the dark space as bright as day.

The figure seemed to be very familiar with this place. He walked quickly to the innermost part, where a strange coffin was lying quietly, and the coffin was surrounded by full bookshelves.

The scene ended here. When Lin Xingchen regained consciousness, he found that he was awakened by the other four members of the adventure group.

"Lin, are you okay?" Colliver originally came to take over the night watch, but seeing Lin Xingchen meditating there, he didn't disturb him for a while. He just sat beside him and soon saw his whole body began to shake. This scared him so much that he quickly called Caitlin and the others. After all, magicians understand magicians better.

"I'm sorry... I was just thinking about meditating and I fell asleep. I also had a nightmare. I'm very sorry. I won't do it again next time I keep watch." It is not a good thing for the people who are keeping watch for you to ignore their safety and go into deep meditation.

"Lin, it's okay. You have been taking care of everyone recently. We also know that this consumes a lot of your mental energy, so it is normal for you to rest." Caitlin is naturally not the kind of person who does not know the seriousness of the matter. After comparing the previous and the next, she probably thought that Lin Xingchen was too tired.

"Yes! Lin, you go back and rest, leave this to me." After Colliver sent everyone back to rest, there was nothing else to do.

Lin Xingchen also felt that he had consumed too much energy, which led to such hallucinations, so he returned to his seat and fell asleep.

The next morning, Lin Xingchen and Colliver went hunting, one for food and the other for exploring the way.

The rocks along the road made Lin Xingchen frown. This place seemed familiar but also a little uncertain.

It wasn't until he rushed to the shouting Colliver that his heart skipped a beat. The cave in front of him was exactly the same as the one he saw when he was meditating last night.

"Let's go quickly. I feel something is wrong here." He led Colliver and ran back.

Colliver couldn't keep the secret, and as soon as he came back he told everyone about the cave.

"If Lin hadn't stopped me, I really wanted to go in and see what was going on inside." Colliver's vivid imagination, and the suggestion that there might be treasure in the cave made the other three people actually have the urge to explore.

"Do you believe in dreams?" Lin Xingchen felt that these four adventurers might not be able to resist such temptation, so he planned to give them a shot of prevention.

"Are there any treasures in the cave? You're dreaming!" Clive was speechless.

"You may not believe me, but I dreamed about that cave last night. There were many forks in it. The most important thing was, at the deepest part of the passage there was a coffin and a lot of books." Since he couldn't dispel their curiosity, Lin Xingchen added some more information.

"Is this true?" Scarlett was a little unconvinced.

"There's no benefit in lying to you. Besides, if I lie to you and then you find out it's not true, you'll scold me!"

"Well, now that we have discovered such a cave, our wonderful adventure group naturally cannot miss it. I feel that I can recover in three days at most, and then we can go on an adventure together." Caitlin's expression was no longer as listless as before, and she became more energetic.

Everyone kept it to themselves for a few days, until Caitlin announced that she was completely fine, and everyone's curiosity could no longer be suppressed.

After everyone packed up, they set off for the caves early the next morning.

With the appearance of the first fork in the road, Lin Xingchen once again confirmed that his dream was real, and used some words that were hard to refuse to get the four of them to follow him. Along the way, Caitlin acted as a living light bulb to illuminate the way forward for everyone.

After going around in circles, they arrived in front of the stone gate, and the other four people finally faced the dream that Lin Xingchen had talked about for the first time.

"I didn't expect that what you said was actually true. There really is such a big stone door. Does that mean there are also coffins and treasures inside?"

"I don't know whether there is treasure in it, but I know there are several shelves of books. I prefer those books to gold coins." Lin Xingchen shrugged to show that he is a handsome man who likes to study.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go in quickly! Didn't you say that there was no danger behind the stone door in your dream?" After saying that, he pressed his hands on the stone door and exerted force, and the stone door slowly opened.

Several people entered one after another. Lin Xingchen raised his hand and a ball of fire element lit the torch beside the stone door. Just like the scene in a dream, all the lights in the room lit up.

This scene frightened the other four people so much that Colliver held his sword in front of him.

Just when everyone was relieved, Scarlett on the side suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Sister Caitlin, how many people are there here?"

Caitlin replied speechlessly and unhappily: "You are so scared, do you still need to ask about the five of us?"

Scarlett said in a tearful voice: "If there are five people, why are there six figures?"

Such words made everyone stunned at first, and then they all looked down with their hair standing on end. It turned out that there were really six figures on the ground.

Lin Xingchen was the first to react. He turned around and fired several ice arrows at the other figure. While turning around, he did not forget to put on several shields for himself.

The others also picked up their weapons and prepared for battle. The ice arrows hit the objects and made a crisp sound. At this time, they looked again and found that there was a stone statue behind them. The light shone on it and its shadow was reflected and mixed with the shadows of the five people.

"Hu...Scarlett, don't do that next time. Scaring people can kill them."

"I'm sorry, everyone. I was really scared just now." Scarlett was also a little embarrassed. After all, talking nonsense like this would affect everyone's mood.

"Okay, stop talking and focus on your journey." Although Caitlin was also frightened, she still stopped Clive from complaining.

Several people walked slowly along the wall, looking at the many exquisite stone carvings on the wall.

Lin Xingchen looked at each stone mural carefully. The first mural was relatively simple, roughly outlining some human figures, and the main part was occupied by a large star cluster-like graphic.

Some people worship a man a bit like believers worshipping gods. In the second picture, a man is resting on a huge cloud bed. The reason why he is not considered dead is that he is supporting his head with one hand.

During this break, the people below were playing happily, but they didn't know that many strange things appeared outside the cloud that enveloped them.

"Lin, what are you looking at?" Colliver put his head close to Lin Xingchen's ear and asked softly.

Such an action scared Lin Xingchen, and he almost slapped him back, but as soon as he saw Colliver's expression, he knew that this guy definitely did it on purpose.

"This mural is quite interesting. Although I don't know what it talks about, judging by its carving technique, it must be the work of a master." She pushed his head away and then told everyone about her own things.

"It seems that you really haven't learned the most basic common sense and knowledge well. The painting you are looking at is the beginning of the war between gods and demons." Caitlin laughed when she heard Lin Xingchen's words, but she felt relieved when she thought about the other party's age and magical achievements.

"The first painting we just saw is called Genesis, which tells the story of the creator of this world, who created the gods. The second painting tells the story of the creator god falling into a deep sleep due to overwork, and the gods are spied on by a group of foreign demons from the outside world while they are alive."

"If I guess correctly, the third picture shows the battle between gods and demons, and the fourth picture shows the demons being sealed." Caitlin confidently guessed the contents of the last two pictures.

As expected, as they continued to move back, they saw what Caitlin said. By the sixth picture, a large part of the picture was occupied by a huge tree, and a group of little people were living happily under the tree.

"It seems that we are lucky to have come to the resting place of a high elf." Caitlin said with surprise.
