Eye of Darkness

Chapter 16 Cave Maze

The imaginary collision did not come over. Feeling the impact of the waterfall above his head, and his wet hair and clothes, Yan Ming looked speechlessly at the dark environment in front of him.

However, Yan Ming didn't care about the wet clothes on his body. After all, he was wearing thin shorts and short sleeves, and it was still summer. With Yan Ming's physical fitness after training and the people in the Pokémon world, he would not catch a cold or fever.

What worries Yan Ming even more now is that the back of the waterfall is actually hollow and has a cave. Now that he thinks about it, it’s no wonder that Kati Dog noticed something strange when he first came to the water pool. Yan Ming thought it was brother Lin Yi passing by. The traces of the time were noticed by Kati Dog, and now I think he has discovered this place a long time ago.

But now the main thing is to find the Kati dog. It's too dark here. Fortunately, the tools Yan Ming exchanged before have props to deal with this situation.

Yan Ming took out a small military flashlight from the bracelet that could still be used under water, turned on the light source, and a warm yellow beam radiated into the cave.

The cave is quiet and humid, with a width of about four to five meters and a height of about three meters. The surrounding stone walls are pitted and covered with green moss in some places.

The light shone in a circle and downwards, and he saw the dog looking at him not far in front of him.

Kadigou saw Yan Ming shining the light and looked at Yan Ming's dripping hair. The flames on his body ignited and he slowly approached Yan Ming, keeping an appropriate distance to provide warmth for Yan Ming.

Yan Ming looked at the suddenly lit up cave, feeling the heat coming from the Kati dog, and felt warm in his heart.

"Okay, it's okay, Katy, I won't catch a cold. You can take the Poké Ball first."

He didn't know what was in the cave. Considering that Kati Dog had just recovered from his injury, Yan Ming was afraid of danger, so he decided to let Kati Dog enter the elf ball to recuperate first.

Kati barked, shook his head, and moved closer to Yan Ming.

Understanding what Kati Gou meant, Yan Ming smiled helplessly and compromised.

"Okay Katy, after you're done with me, you have to go back to the Poké Ball."

Hearing this, Katigou nodded.

Looking for a seemingly clean stone to sit on, Yan Ming looked towards the dark and deep distance inside the cave.

What will be inside...

In fact, Yan Ming was a little nervous to let Yan Ming enter this cave alone, because when he was a child, his mother kept him at home at night, and there happened to be a power outage at home. At that time, he had seen some videos of ghosts, and he had no phone to tell his mother, which made it so difficult. Yan Ming was frightened at the time.

For a long time after that, Yan Ming didn't dare to expose his head outside the quilt while sleeping. Although it was uncomfortable to say, it was better than staring at the door and window in fear all the time, fearing that some monsters would come to catch him. Much.

Although after getting used to being alone at night, Yan Ming was able to stop being suspicious, but Yan Ming was still a little resistant to dark and unknown places. As he got older, he also had his own concerns about things like ghosts and monsters. view.

You still have to get rid of this problem quickly, otherwise there may be big problems in the future.

Thinking of this, Yan Ming cheered himself up in his heart.

As for letting the dog out together, Yan Ming had no such plan. Not only was the dog injured, but also to prevent any accidents, which would make Yan Ming unable to react quickly and put the dog in danger.

After a while, when the clothes on his body were dried by the flames on the Kati dog, Yan Ming put the Kati dog into the elf ball and patted the dust on his pants. Yan Ming shined the flashlight forward and towards the cave. Go.

......

On the other side, Mu Qili and his party searched outside for several days. They searched the mountain carefully. Not to mention the Dark Stone, there were not even a few elves, which made them extremely uncomfortable.

Sha Mu sat on the grass, breathing heavily while looking at Mu Qili who was cleaning stains by the water.

"Ha~ Muqili, when are we going to find it? Why don't I feel like this is a place where the Stone of Darkness can be found? How about we try another mountain?"

Mu Qili tidied up the clothes that were dirty due to days of searching, and said angrily.

"Who knows, really, the captain and the others didn't give accurate information. The trial time is so tight, and they asked us to find a stone in this large area. When will we find it? I really don't know what to think. , I don’t know if DM has gotten the map.”

Shamu helplessly spread his hands.

"There is no way. After all, we are protected by them and we still have to complete their tasks. The reason why we have better elves and resources than other trialists is because they gave us them. Maybe others were also selected. The tester mission is not as good as the two of us."

"As for the DM... you know that we have only had a few transactions with her. You are also aware of her changeable personality. What's more, the system of the Viper Instructor is not that easy to invade."

Mu Qili sighed after hearing this.

"Yes, if the DM can invade easily, he won't require so many resources from us. If he has the map, we won't be running around like headless flies here. But having said that, the captain and the others are here What are the names of the two people on the team that you liked in the previous trial? What is their mission?"

Shamu thought for a while and seemed to think of something, then curled his lips and said.

"According to the information given by the DM, it should be Musashi and Kojiro. The mission seems... to capture an elf."

Mu Qili shouted when he heard this.

"What?! So easy?"

Shamu waved her hand, signaling Mu Qili not to be so startled, as it would damage her image.

"There is nothing we can do about it. Musashi seems to be the descendant of a cadre who is favored by the leader, and Kojiro's net worth is not simple. Of course they will have privileges, which are incomparable to the likes of us. They should have become official members now , on a mission outside."

Mu Qili looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Hey, it's really irritating to see people compare to each other..."

While the two were sighing, two figures, a man and a woman, hurriedly ran from a distance.

"Sir! We discovered an unusual location!"

Mu Qili and Sha Mu looked at each other and saw the happy expression in each other's eyes.

Finally there is good news.

.......

After walking for more than ten minutes towards the depths of the cave, Yan Ming found that the space inside the cave became wider and wider, and there were countless stalactites in the cave, large and small, hanging down on the stone walls.

Pat pat pat, the sneakers stepped on the stone floor in the cave, and the sound echoed throughout the empty space.

Yan Ming frowned slightly.

As he went deeper into the cave, gradually, the light emitted by the flashlight in Yan Ming's hand could no longer shine on the stone wall. Except for a small patch of ground in front, the surroundings were pitch black. Staring into the darkness made people endlessly daydream.

Swallowing unconsciously, Yan Ming pursed his lips tightly, tensed his nerves, and moved his eyes around to guard against possible dangers in the darkness.

"Why would I even think of coming in here..."

There were some words in his heart that he regretted, but Yan Ming couldn't give up halfway even now.

In this way, time passed by minute by second, and the long-term tense nerves made Yan Ming feel more and more uneasy.

"How big is this hole? Why hasn't it reached the end yet..."

Yan Ming's breathing began to get heavier, and Yan Ming's hand holding the flashlight clenched involuntarily. He would occasionally stop and look back at the dark space behind him.

"No, if you continue like this, you won't be driven crazy."

With this thought in mind, although I was still curious about the depths of the cave, I had to give up my plan and start heading back the way I came.

After walking for a while, looking at the still dark space around him and the clicking sounds that had no echo, Yan Ming gradually realized that something was wrong.

The pace quickened, and Yan Ming trotted, speeding up. When he came in to explore before, in order to prevent accidents, Yan Ming did not increase his speed. Now that he was walking back along the road, Yan Ming no longer had this worry, but even so, Yan Ming couldn't breathe while running. A little confused, but still no wall in sight.

"Damn it, I've lost my way."

The exact same environment around him, coupled with the fatigue caused by the long-term tense nerves, caused Yan Ming to misjudge the direction. Yan Ming suspected that he was definitely going in the wrong direction.

Thinking of this, Yan Ming stopped, rested on the spot, and began to think about countermeasures.

I had previously thought about whether there would be the so-called top-level dark stone in the cave behind the waterfall. In addition, Katigou came in first, so Yan Ming kept walking here without thinking too much. .

But this can’t be blamed on Yan Ming. Who would have imagined that even though the waterfall is on the mountainside, it doesn’t look so deep. Yan Ming estimated that it took half an hour to walk in the first half and more than a dozen people to run in the second half. Minutes, with Yan Ming's speed after training, one can imagine how deep the cave is and how deep it is like a maze.

Rubbing his chin, Yan Ming suspected that the depth of the cave should be on a downhill slope, otherwise it would not be so deep.

The first thing I have to do now is to find a direction. I must first touch the wall. In this way, even if I walk slowly against the wall, it is better than running around like a headless fly.

but.....

The next second, Yan Ming released the Kati dog.

As soon as Katigou appeared, he looked at the dark environment around him and looked at Yan Ming with some confusion.

"Cuddy dog, can you find the scent I came from?"

Hearing this, the dog sniffed around, and after waiting for a while, the dog shook its head at Yan Ming.

Seeing the dog like this, Yan Ming gave up the idea of ​​using the dog to find his way back. It seemed that the air circulation structure in the cave was sufficient, otherwise the dog would not be able to smell the general direction.

Wait, the ventilation is good...

An idea flashed in his mind. Yan Ming took out some bandages from the bracelet, wrapped them around some remaining sticks and fixed them. Then he took out some vegetable oil and poured it on the white bandages.

"Cuddy, use Sparkle on this white spot."

Hearing this, Kati Dog nodded, then breathed out a breath of flame, igniting the bandage.

Suddenly, the wooden stick in Yan Ming's hand ignited, lighting up the surroundings, and a simple torch was successfully made.

Yan Ming first looked around, and to his surprise, it was still pitch black. Then Yan Ming looked at the torch in his hand, looking at the direction in which the firelight danced above.

The fire kept swaying in the air. As Yan Ming's hand stabilized, it gradually began to stabilize. The smoke from the flame drifted towards Yan Ming's side.

"There's a vent there!"

Although it is unclear whether the direction of the airflow is the exit, at least there is a direction, right? And if necessary, Yan Ming can also make a gap in the Kati Dog.
