193 Weapon Markings (1/2)
Since the system assigned the mission' mystery behind the Never-returning cave' as a 'B+' danger rating mission, he wanted to accomplish it.
Not because of excitement or anything. Just for the reward which made Ajax wanted to accomplish the mission.
”Ajax, try to stay focus all the time when we enter the cave,” Paulin warned Ajax as they entered the cave slowly.
Ajax nodded his head in reply and maintained a certain degree of alertness.
Soon, they entered the cave, which was completely devoid of light and completely silent.
Just looking at it made them raise their guard against any unknown beings in the dark.
'Should I use the fire technique to create the fire?' seeing the pitch-black darkness, Ajax silently thought.
”Ajax, just wait,”
Just as he was about to generate the fire from his essence of nature, he heard Paulin's voice.
Ajax didn't know why Paulin said that, but he soon saw a shinning paper in Paulin's hand which slowly hovered into the air.
”A light talisman?” Ajax was surprised by the light talisman.
”Yes, you know I am a talisman collector, right?” Paulin laughed as he said.
”Yes,” Ajax replied with a small smile.
All the squad members knew that Paulin would collect any type of talisman that he encounters.
For example, when they went to the market square, Paulin bought a set of defence type talisman.
So, Ajax was not shocked at the light talisman but little surprised as the light talisman was typically a rare one.
With the light talisman, the surrounding darkness disappeared, making them feel comfortable as they were able to see the interior of the cave.
”Senior brother, what are those drawings?” Ajax pointed at the drawings on the cave.
”Huh?” Paulin looked at the direction in which Ajax pointed his finger.
On the cave's walls, he saw some markings which were filled some profound knowledge in them.
”These are drawn by weapons and I think they were called Weapon Markings,” Paulin said while observing the weird drawings on the wall.
'Kekeke,'
All of a sudden, a ghostly laugh, which was low-pitched but easily heard by them in the silent cave.
”Who's there?” Paulin and Ajax immediately became alerted and stood with their backs touching each other while checking the entire cave with their eyes.
'No need to worry as it was a just a level 1 testing zone for the cultivator, keke,' a humanoid figure emerged from a corner of the cave and slowly walked towards them.
Although they were able to hear the voice clearly, they were not able to see the distant humanoid figure clearly until it came within the range of the light talisman.
The humanoid figure was completely formed by black gas with no eyes.
It only had a mouth. With which it continuously released a ghostly laugh.
