(ED: Warning: NSFW near the end insert lenny face here)A putrid sround cave

What’s happening?

With a torch raised, Barney felt jittery when he led his men deeper into the caverns

It had been five days since they entered the Blackrock Depths

However, unexpectedly, they hadn’t met any enemies so far — no, rather, it was round caverns weren’t the same as the tunnels they traversed before, where the Goblins and Earth Protoplas appeared to be avoiding the creatures in this underground world

“Barney, do you want to stop and rest for a moment?”

The half-elf maiden walked up to Barney and asked softly Then, she turned around and glanced over to the mercenaries behind

“Everyone… Everyone seemed to be worried”

“I know”

Barney was a little unhappy hearing the half-elf h

“Sorry, I was just…”

“I know… but this isn’t the solution, Barney We are certainly within the Blackrock Depths We are not lost, but why can’t we see anything?”

Whenever she used her innate elf vision, she could see clearly in the dark unlike ordinary humans But even so, she could only detect rando five long days in the caverns, these obviously weren’t the things they had coround residences, there was nothing else of interest to the group

Barney wasn’t dense He knew that these cavernsBlackrock Depths, he had sent scouts to scour the area, and it was truly an extres further proved this point Besides, the reason why the church requested for help was that this place posed a certain degree of danger Rhode wouldn’t have valued this h Barney possessed a burning hatred for Rhode, he had to admit that Rhode was incredibly powerful And even with that strength, Rhode still hesitated to accept this mission

But the problem nohere were the threats?

It was quiet to the point where it was terrifying The lack of danger ly nervous, and this panicky sensation wasn’t a good feeling at all Initially, he thought that this place would be littered with monsters, thus, he instructed his people to buy a bunch of Fire elemental scrolls But there weren’t any monsters for him to use these scrolls on at all!

The half-elf maiden didn’t knohat to do either Her sharp senses weren’t useful in this situation They were si on the only path forward, but somehow, they were still lost If this situation kept up, then who knoould happen?

“Oi, leader!”

Finally, a er

“How er do we have to walk for!”

Barney frowned and remained silent Unquestionably, he understood the unhappiness fro the initial preparation for thethem with fa, their adrenaline finally died down, and dissent became apparent Even veterans wouldn’t be able to tolerate wasting time like this Not to mention that these people can’t be considered close to the cream of the crop — frankly, it was a e

“Hmm? What’s that smell?”

And at this moment, a pleasant aroma blew past their noses

The mercenaries looked at one another curiously while their noses twitched

“It s up ahead?”

“Quick, let’s go!”

In a regular situation, most mercenaries would hate it when any sudden or peculiar situation occur during awould be better than dying of boredom With his torch in his left hand, Barney cautiously ht hand onto his sword’s hilt and inched forward slowly

After turning the corner, soon enough, they entered a spacious room

Oddly, without the need of the torch, they could see everything clearly It wasn’t because they developed the same innate ability as the half-elf, but instead, it was a radiance eht’ source

In the seven meters wide open cave, a vast forest expanded unhindered because of the strange light The green leaves on the trees swayed in the hile its luscious cri a distinctive aroma to drift towards their direction And underneath the trees, a beautiful garden laid bare in all its splendor, bringing vibrant colors to the otherwise dull cave

What is this? Why is so like this here?

Barney scrutinized these strange trees He felt suspicious over this whole situation It wasn’t logical at all There was neither water nor sunlight, therefore it was ietation to thrive here However, before he could put all his thoughts together, some of his mercenaries already ran and plucked the fruits

“Ohhh ht, crimson red exterior; also, it was shaped like a banana but ary scent flooded their sense of smell which caused them to s their saliva

“I can’t take it anyh, a ht red fruit And at this moment, Barney immediately reacted

“Wait! Don’t eat! This situation is too strange!”

“Strange? What’s strange?”

Sonored hied to control their urges also thought that this place was too good to be true However, as ly thicker, and soon enough, even thefell into te-willed ones still wandered around, carefully observing the rest

“What do you think?”

Barney held his forehead helplessly and asked the half-elf maiden
