Chapter 83 (1/2)
Having lived the life of a troll it’s not the first time Wu Yan’s on the receiving end of getting trolled. Logically speaking therefore he should be adept at dealing with this kind of ‘holes’. Oh how naive he was.
He’s not sure what amount of time has pa.s.sed but judging from his arms that is on the verge of going limp from hugging the girls one could tell it is definitely not a short time.
And yet, there’s still nothing but a dark abyss in his line of sight.
Like a bottomless pit, it’s not that big a hole but it’s bone chilling how deep this thing is, they have flew for so long and still no ground in sight. Just when Mikoto is about to complain, he saw something that brightened up his eyes.
“Ikaros! Stop for a bit!”
Ikaros braked suddenly and steadily halted with a whip of her wings.
“What’s with you stopping so suddenly like that…”
Rubbing her forehead in irritation she looked at him in a displeased manner. The sudden brake just now made her knock into his jaw. What she didn’t think about is who really got hurt more in that collision.
“Look at the walls…”
The boring unchanging walls are now filled with countless holes like that of a beehives. Each of the caves had the exact same size.
Drafts blew from the countless holes out into the giant pit. One couldn’t tell what’s the wind direction either, the winds are all blowing in a strange and abnormal manner.
It’s weird how one could see the wind and yet not feel it, the scene made them very befuddled that’s for sure.
Looking at the countless caves and subsequently feeling bedazzled with the sheer amount, Mikoto looked away and grumbled silently.
“So many caves, which one are we going into?”
When he heard Mikoto, he turned to Ikaros.
“Ikaros, an you please scan the structures for any special markers or unique differences?”
She instantly switched to sky queen mode and used her deep red eyes to scan over the place.
“Results of the scan revealed a 99% similarity with negligible variance…”
“In other words, they’re all the same?”
His head started hurting from the implications, if Ikaros can’t do it there’s not much he can do about it, the same applies to Mikoto.
Hinagiku moaned in his chest, noticing this he reckons its probably the sign of her awakening.
She would surely faint again if she were to wake up when they’re still in this state. He decided straight away.
“Screw it, let’s try randomly entering one!”
Mikoto and Lirin concurred with this decision, being hugged for such a long period would make anyone feel uncomfortable. At this rate, they wouldn’t know how long they would be descending and waiting is not an option either.
Ikaros glanced over the available options and chose the closest one to fly to.
When they landed Mikoto and Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and Hinagiku woke up just in time.
“Both of you.. what’s with the look?….”
Being observed by people, the bossy Kaichou-sama felt a bit disturbed by them.
“Oh right, just now…”
“Just now nothing happened! It’s best if you don’t try to recall it Hinagiku…”
Understanding her acrophobic attribute he tried to rea.s.sure her.
Ignoring the giggling Mikoto and Lirin as well as Hinagiku who had question marks floating above her head he stood up and looked around the cave.
As usual, everything’s made of stone and there’s nothing particular to note. Rubbing his palm, he continued.
“Let’s delve deeper, lady luck be courteous perhaps we might chance upon an exit.”
“Since they’re going through the trouble of creating a map why didn’t they do proper annotation on the situation of the treasure.”
Whined Mikoto.
Wu Yan & company didn’t say anything, they only wrly smiled. Barging into other people’s treasure hiding place, getting lost and then blaming the master of the treasure for something like that, what can one say, she’s an interesting one…
And so they set forth once more…
It’s fortunate that they aren’t any traps that are of the same magnitude as the one before, for one, they aren’t walking in some seemingly endless path, they came out of the other side of the cave in a jiffy.
