Chapter 68: Deep of the Cave, Late Foundation Vine! (1)
Tap, tap, tap...
The sound of heavy unhurried footsteps echoed inside the silent cave as darkness slowly enshrouded the surrounding environment as the group advanced further deep within.
The cold dense mist slowly but surely wrapped their bodies, instinctively causing Kristine to shiver involuntarily.
Fire, Flame.
Sebastian and Leo mumbled under their breath as they both summoned flame on their palm. Instantly illuminating the damp cave with different lights, at the same time increases the temperature in the atmosphere.
Compared to the normal red flame on Sebastian's palm, the flame on Leo's hand could be considered strange... It was a pure white flame that was devoid of any filth, instantly lighted and warmed the surroundings up, similar to an overheated white bulb.
...
This...
"Moonlight flowers?" Leo exclaimed, causing his voice to echo in the dark cave, instantly making the group startled before staring at him angrily.
Giving them an apologizing look, Leo again stared at the endless sea of pure silver flowers in the ground.
Due to the flames they summoned, the metallic leaves of the moonlight flowers reflected the light in the environment, creating a paradise within the silent cave.
Squeak... Squeak...
Seeing the beautiful light in the environment, the white rabbit's eyes revealed a brilliance as it familiarly approached the moonlight flower in the distance.
Opening its mouth full of sharp teeth, it munches the silver flower in one go, creating a crispy metallic sound as the flower becomes a powder in its mouth.
Gulp...
"No wonder that its teeth are so sharp..." The group silently thought as they gulped in unison, not daring to think what would happen if the rabbit bit them.
Soon, after minutes of munching, as if finally quenching its hunger, the rabbit gestured toward the group before continuing to move forward.
However, compared to its earlier speed, the rabbit moved much more carefully as it occasionally scanned the surrounding environment warily.
...
"How long has it been since we entered this cave?"
Kristine couldn't help but ask the group beside her anxiously. If she guessed correctly, they probably already traveled tens of kilometers away from the entrance of the cave.
Her original cheerful mood had already begun to vanish as she stared at the cute rabbit in the distance regretfully.
Shhh...
As Kristine was about to complain again, Jake suddenly covered her mouth as he gestured toward the group to be quiet as he pointed toward the distance solemnly.
Due to him being the detector of the group, having the skill "Good eyesight" is a must, causing him to be able to see further with clarity compared to the group.
Soon, after moving forward for about 20 meters. Leo and the group's eyes immediately constricted upon seeing tens of corpses lifelessly lying on the ground.
Pieces of meat, parts of bodies, and incomplete bodies of beasts are scattered around the cold stony ground of the cave.
"This..." Scanning further, the group notices the dead body of a seemingly 3-meter-long snake in the distance. Its body has a huge hole in it as some of its flesh is missing.
"Forest Centipede!!" Roland speaks in a solemn tone, as his brow instinctively furrowed upon seeing many corpses on the ground.
Just this alone, he could almost imagine the intense battle that took place inside this cave.
Bending slightly, Leo touched the slightly warm flesh blood that created a mini puddle on the ground, causing him to feel chills upon guessing something.
"This blood is still warm, the battle ended at least half an hour ago," Leo said in a hushed tone as he solemnly scanned the dark cave, increasing the fuel of Qi on his white flame to lighten the surroundings up.
In an instant, the flame lightened further, showing the sight/scene of the surrounding area with much clearer details.
"F*ck!"

Upon seeing the scene, Leo immediately revealed a shocked expression...
As far as he could see, corpses of different kinds of monstrous insects and beasts unfolded in their line of sight.
The view earlier compared to now is almost thrice as bloody and gory!
In the distance, sticky crimson blood originating from countless corpses formed a small fond. Creating a strange sight as its strange scent began to waft in the air due to the sudden change of temperature brought by the sudden increase of heat.
BlaaRgH!!
Kristine and Rosa couldn't stomach the scene anymore as they bent to their knees before puking heavily. Their face was covered with snot as they closed their eyes in disgust...
At the same time, the face of the group paled to different degrees. Only Leo could be said quite fine upon seeing this scene.
However, even though he was still quite fine, the slight disgust in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Squeak, Squeak...
The rabbit, upon seeing the pale face of the group, suddenly created a squeaking sound before continuing forward, as if everything that it sees is normal in this cave.
"..."
Without any choices, the group could only swallow their uncertainty and saliva as they followed the rabbit deeper into the cave.
...
In the blink of an eye, the group further advanced for about a thousand meters.
The group noticed that the further they went, the larger the cave seemed to be.
Although they still didn't come across any ferocious beasts on the way, the corpses that they passed by could be said to almost reach hundreds, causing them to be extra cautious as they moved forward.
Squeak squeak...
Soon, as the group was getting tense little by little, the white rabbit in front of them suddenly squeaked, looking at them solemnly as it pointed toward the dark front before gesturing a slashing motion to its neck, then slumping toward the ground lifelessly, its big black eyes were wide open as it even makes its tongue lifelessly rest on its white cheeks.
This... Ppft...
The tense group watched the action of the cute white rabbit in front as they couldn't help but giggle slightly... However, knowing that it's not appropriate, they immediately stop as they stare at the acting rabbit on the ground before looking at the dark cavern in front with a grave look.
"You mean that there's a powerful beast deep inside?"
