Go down the pit
The upper opening of the tiankeng is not large, only the size of a basketball court, but the lower area is very large, with a narrow mouth and a wide belly, like a teapot. Because of the narrow mouth, it is difficult for sunlight from above to shine down. When Lord Glenn flew down with Elena, the light quickly dimmed on the way. When they reached the bottom of the pit, only a small amount of refracted light could shine down.
Bang, a ball of light appeared above their heads.
Lord Glenn adjusted the height and size of the light ball to make the brightness more appropriate.
Elena raised her head and looked upwards, but could only see a small patch of sky and large expanses of black pit walls.
There is an inexplicable feeling of suffocation.
Is this the feeling of “watching the sky from a pot”?
"Are you scared?" Lord Glenn's voice came.
Elena withdrew her gaze and gave Lord Glenn a big smile: "Don't be afraid." With Lord Glenn around, what else could she be afraid of?
Seeing that she didn't seem frightened, Lord Glenn nodded and asked, "Do you have any impression of this place?"
What impression? Elena frowned and thought about it. The only thing she remembered about the "her" in the dream was the escape route.
Elena squatted down and began to look for the hole dug by Yuanyuan.
"What are you looking for?" asked Lord Glenn.
Elena replied while searching: "I'm looking for the hole I dug in my dream."
Lord Glenn frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just stood aside waiting for Elena's search results.
Elena squatted on the ground and moved slowly.
A long time passed.
"Ha, I found it." Elena pointed happily at a small black hole on the ground and said to Lord Glenn.
Lord Glenn also squatted down.
There is a small round black hole on the ground, about the size of the mouth of an ordinary cup.
At this size, it does look like a hole dug by a small animal like a chipmunk.
Lord Glenn glanced at Elena.
Elena blinked, as if to take credit.
Lord Glenn withdrew his gaze, stretched out his hand, and extended the spiritual thread.
The spiritual thread stretched into the small black hole. The hole was indeed very deep, and no ominous aura was sensed.
Lord Glenn looked at Elena again: "Are you sure it's this hole?"
Elena hummed a little guiltily: "I dug this hole myself in my dream, so it should be this one. Uh, it shouldn't be dangerous." There is no danger, but this hole was not dug by her, so she felt a little guilty.
Lord Glenn's gaze fell on the cave entrance again. There were still a few small animal paw prints left on the soil at the edge of the cave entrance.
This paw print is consistent with the size of a chipmunk's paw.
Elena's dream is "real".
Lord Glenn stood up: "Elena, step back, step away."
Elena quickly stood up from the ground and retreated to the corner.
Lord Glenn's right arm emitted a white light, which became brighter and more solid. Glenn raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and punched downwards.
Bang, a ball of white gas directly penetrated the ground.
The ground was heaving and shaking, and several cracks were rapidly expanding outward. One crack went straight in front of Elena. The soil above the sinkhole was falling down, and the edge of the pit seemed to have widened a little.
Elena, who failed to dodge, was covered in dust, with sand and fallen leaves in her hair, and her body was in a mess.
She was upset. She was really stupid just now. She even forgot to put up the protective shield. Look at it now, it's dirty.
After making a big hole, Lord Glenn said without even turning his head: "Elena, just wait here and don't move."
After saying this, Lord Glenn jumped down.
Elena patted her hair to shake off a layer of dirt, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Lord Glenn didn't turn around to look at her and didn't see her disheveled and dirty appearance.
Seeing the dust and stains on her skirt, Elena frowned and performed the cleaning technique, cleaning herself from inside to outside and making herself spotless again.
After cleaning up, Elena had nothing to do and was a little tired of standing there, so she looked around, trying to find a suitable "seat".
What kind of seat are you looking for?
Wood is too wet, so let's use stone. But we need to find stones of the right size and with large flat surfaces.
Elena looked and picked, and finally chose the most suitable stone.
She used a cleaning spell to clean the stone, then lifted her skirt and sat down gently.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Elena fall before she could react.
Depend on!
Elena cursed and used the lightness spell in a hurry, trying to slow down her falling. After her falling speed slowed down a bit, Elena used the lighting spell to illuminate the situation around her.
Damn, there’s water down there!
Elena hurriedly opened the protective shield, and the next second, the protective shield wrapped Elena and fell into the water.
The water was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Elena performed a small lighting spell and only then could she see clearly outside.
A swollen, terrifying face with its eyes open appeared in front of Elena's left.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Elena screamed in fright and subconsciously turned off the small lighting technique.
Darkness, complete darkness. The corpse could not be seen in the darkness, but it only added to the atmosphere of horror.
Elena bit her lip and lit up the small illumination technique again.
There were them above, below, left, and right. Elena didn't dare to count how many there were, let alone look at them carefully. She could only control the protective shield to float upwards.
Suddenly, there was another feeling of weightlessness, followed by the world spinning. Elena rolled around in the protective shield, and finally seemed to hit something and stopped.
Heat waves came one after another, and Elena opened her eyes dizzily. The protective shield was stuck between two stones, and there was flowing red magma underneath.
Mom, I want to go home!
Elena screamed again, and the next second she was back in the bedroom of the Viscount's Mansion.
Lying on the carpet, Elena listened to the rapid pounding of her heartbeat, her mind blank and confused.
It took a long time for Elena to come back to her senses.
Fortunately, fortunately she has the ability to cross space, otherwise she would be dead.
Elena got up from the carpet, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp.
Lord Glenn was right. It was really dangerous there. She shouldn't have wandered around. She should have just stood there.
Elena wiped her face, a layer of cold sweat covering her forehead.
After resting for a while, Elena cheered herself up, recalled the environment around the tiankeng, and thought carefully.
A few seconds later, she disappeared from the bedroom and returned to the top of the sinkhole.
Elena took a few careful steps forward and looked down from the edge of the sinkhole. Now she didn't dare to go down anymore. It was too dangerous down there. She was afraid that she would accidentally fall into some dangerous trap. It would be safer to stay up there.
Elena waited obediently up there. This time she didn't want to find a place to sit, so she just stood.
"Elena, can you come down and take a look?" Lord Glenn's voice sounded in his mind.
Elena shuddered.
"Okay, okay, sir, I'll be there right away." Elena cast a wind spell and flew down.
There was no sign of Lord Glenn at the bottom of the pit.
Elena landed at the edge of the big hole made by Lord Glenn, feeling a little hesitant.
Does Lord Glenn mean for her to go straight down?
Do you want to go down?
The light at the bottom of the pit was already insufficient, and it was entirely dependent on the light ball left by Lord Glenn for illumination. Under the illumination of the light ball, the depths of the cave appeared even darker and more terrifying.
After hesitating for several seconds, Elena decided to go down.
Elena plucked up her courage and jumped down the big hole.
When her feet touched the ground, Elena saw a passage on one side of the earth wall. It was not big, just enough for one person to walk through. Faint light was refracted from the depths. It seemed to be the lighting magic cast by Lord Glenn.
Elena walked in the direction of the light.
In her dream, Elena only thought that the chipmunks dug a straight tunnel, but after coming here in person, she realized that the tunnel was curved and undulating.
There is a huge gap between dreams and reality.
Elena walked forward holding up her skirt, and the more she walked, the more she felt that the skirt was too troublesome and cumbersome, and her shoes were not suitable either, because the soles were too thin.
Just as she was thinking that her skirt and shoes were not good, Elena kicked a small stone with her toes. The stone looked like a piece of broken stone that had fallen to the ground, but in fact it was firmly rooted in the ground. When Elena kicked it, the small stone was fine, but a hole was made in the tip of her shoe.
Elena: ...
"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?" Lord Glenn's voice came from the other end of the passage.
Elena quickly responded: "It's okay, it's okay, I just accidentally kicked a stone."
Fortunately, she has been promoted to a mid-level mage and her body is not as strong as a human, otherwise her toes would probably be cut and bleeding.
The light began to flicker, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Lord Glenn was coming.
Elena immediately lowered her skirt to cover her broken shoes, embarrassed to let Lord Glenn see them.
Lord Glenn walked up to Elena, with a small ball of light floating above his head. The light was dim and soft, shining on his light golden hair, as if giving him a layer of beauty halo.
Elena secretly held her breath.
After looking Elena up and down and making sure she was not injured, Lord Glenn extended his hand: "It's my fault. This underground environment is bound to make people feel scared and frightened. Let me help you walk."
Elena's cheeks instantly heated up.
She gently placed her fingers on Lord Glenn's hand.
Lord Glenn nodded to her and turned to walk deeper into the passage.
Elena lifted her skirt with her other hand and followed.
The underground passage is really difficult to walk in. Although it has been widened by Lord Glenn so that people can walk upright, it is still difficult to walk in. There are many piles of dirt and rubble on the ground.
Moreover, after a long period of pulling and walking through the forest above, squatting on the ground to look for holes, and then walking through this underground passage, the bottom of Elena's long skirt was completely ruined and tattered. She didn't know how many holes it had been scratched into, and she always swept up small sand and pebbles, which were all swept into her shoes.
Elena gently squeezed Master Glenn's hand.
"What's wrong?" Lord Glenn turned around.
Elena asked quietly, "Lord Glenn, can you lend me a dagger? I want to cut my skirt shorter, it's getting in the way."
Lord Glenn glanced at Elena's skirt and said, "...I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Lord Glenn personally squatted down and used his sword energy to neatly cut the hem of Elena's skirt.
The hem of the skirt fell, revealing her calves, shoes and stockings.
Before Elena could say anything, Lord Glenn had already turned his head away embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Lord Glenn said.
This is the third apology.
Elena suddenly felt a little sweet in her heart. Lord Glenn was so gentlemanly, no, no, no, he was so chivalrous.
"It's okay, it's just a small matter. I'm not angry and I don't care." After saying that, Elena felt that what she said seemed a little wrong, as if she was too relaxed.
She quickly changed the subject: "The most important thing now is what's ahead? Lord Glenn, what do you want me to see when you asked me to come down here?"
Speaking of business, Lord Glenn also talked seriously about the previous situation.
"There's a huge rock ahead, blocking the road."
Lord Glenn widened the small hole dug by the chipmunk all the way, but found that there was a stone at the end of the hole. Through the spiritual thread, Lord Glenn knew that the stone was very large, and only a small part was exposed, and a large part was buried in the soil.
So the question is, where did the chipmunk in Elena's dream come from?
Elena stood in front of the boulder, confused and full of questions.
how so?
Where did this stone come from?
Elena stared at the boulder stupidly for several seconds, then stupidly reached out to touch the boulder.
"Wait, be careful!" Lord Glenn stopped him.
Elena's palm has penetrated the boulder...
Elena stared blankly at her hand disappearing into the boulder.
"ah!!!"
