1065 They Went Down (1/2)

Seeing its mushroom friend go down, Bowwow immediately struggled out of Black's grip and excitedly darted into the hole. As a result, Black was left outside, so it coiled its body and stayed motionless.

Yun Meng looked at the snake and said to herself, ”Oh, those two went down. Isn't this one going too?”

Black stayed exactly where it was for about ten seconds. At last, it helplessly crawled toward the hole and wriggled in through the edge.

Lin Qiao, who had no idea that her three pets had also entered the underground cave as well, was moving forward through the tunnel.

The ground in the tunnel was inclining again, with a turn up ahead.

She kept moving forward for about ten minutes when she abruptly saw an enormous space before her. She couldn't see things far away; all she could see was the end of the road under her feet. She raised her head and couldn't see the top of the space or the bottom. She couldn't see what was on the other side of the space either. She looked around and found a two-meters-wide passage on both sides. Every three of four meters on the side of the passage was a hole.

A very strong scent of those underground creatures could be sensed there. Clearly, that space was not another junkyard.

Lin Qiao moved right toward the hole about three or four meters away. She thought it was the entrance of another tunnel, leading from somewhere else to here.

Unexpectedly, it was not a tunnel, but a cave. It was a small one, about two meters tall and around four or five meters squared. A thick pile of hides existed in the innermost corner of the cave with a dent in the middle, as if something often lay upon it.

Was that a bedroom? A bad smell could be sensed from the pile of hides.

Lin Qiao walked into the room and looked around with curiosity. But, nothing was found there except for those hides.

With no discovery, she stepped out and kept moving forward. At about five meters away, she found another cave which was also like a small bedroom. In that cave was also a pile of hides, coming from unknown animals.

She moved further and further forward until she returned to the first cave. All the way, she saw many small bedroom-like caves. The ceiling of those 'bedrooms' was all earth. She stood at the edge of the passage and looked up and down, finding more similar caves.

She had made a circle in the space, but didn't see any underground creatures. Where had they all been?

She headed back through the tunnel that she came from. She walked downhill when she came, so she, of course, needed to go uphill to go back. Through the tunnel, she returned to the round room and looked around, then walked into another tunnel.

This time, she reached a fork after a short walk.

Lin Qiao sniffed around before the fork and then chose a way, from which she sensed a relatively heavy underground creature scent. Soon, she reached another fork and felt as if she was in a maze. She had no idea what was in front of her.

She sensed the scent of the underground creatures from both the ways, but also sensed another weird scent from one of them. She had no idea what it was. It was weird, not bad but not good either. It was just… weird.
