The closer you get, the colder it gets, and the deeper you go, the quieter it becomes.

When Paimon, who was determined to win the championship, came to the foot of the mountain, his joy was replaced by panic in just a few seconds.

She looked up at the towering peak, as if the entire mountain was pressing down on her.

Paimon took a breath and looked away, she looked towards the cave in the rugged rocks.

The darkness ahead is like a ruthless net, waiting with bared fangs and claws for anyone unfortunate enough to approach.

Although Paimon couldn't see what was inside, he instinctively felt a creepy sense of danger.

The unusual silence made a feeling of uneasiness creep into her mind silently. Paimon's heartbeat quickened and she seemed to hear whispering in her ears. She couldn't help but scream out in fear and turned around and ran away.

"Traveler!"

When Lin Ze heard Paimon's cry, his heart tightened. He felt a pain in his chest before he took a few steps. He stretched out his arms reflexively.

"what!"

Lin Ze hugged the little girl who almost fell to the ground, patted her back to calm her down. "I'm here, what's wrong?"

“Ah! That…there…”

Paimon's exclamation made the people who were lagging behind run faster. When they gathered together and looked in the direction of the little guy's finger, they did not find anything unusual.

"too dark."

Paimon buried his little face in Lin Ze's arms.

"oh~"

Seeing this scene, Mantis Girl's eyes were full of pity. She walked to Lin Ze, slowly stretched out her hand, and asked tentatively: "Is it okay?"

Understanding that Mantis wanted to help, Lin Ze nodded slightly.

With permission, Mantis closed her eyes, and the tips of the tentacles on her head glowed slightly.

"I feel your fear, don't be afraid."

The gentle words, along with the soothing spiritual power, helped Paimon regain his composure.

"Thank you."

Seeing that Paimon was no longer as flustered as before, Lin Ze expressed his gratitude to Mantis.

Mantis withdrew her hand, her big eyes filled with joy: "Oh! It's nothing, I'm glad I can help you."

When Yidou saw that Paimon was getting better, the seriousness and solemnity on his face disappeared.

"It's just a small cave, what's so scary about it? Tsk, flying dwarf melon, can you do it? Why are you so timid? Could there be a monster hiding in it? Look, I'm going to help you go in and check it out!"

Yidou said this and ran into the pitch-black cave with a few big strides. His wooden clogs made a crisp sound as they stepped on the cold, hard ground.

Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy was also inspired by Ikto's brave behavior. He drew out two knives and rushed in, shouting, "Ahhhhhh!!!"

Star-Lord: "Wait!"

Gamora: "Wait!!"

Rocket: "Don't go in there!"

"Wait a minute, Ichito, be careful!"

A group of people spontaneously extended their hands to the two great men.

Lucy was even more scared than Paimon. She held the stick, screamed, and tried hard with her feet for a long time, but she only moved a few centimeters.

Tinari and Senor were far away and wanted to stop it but they were powerless.

Albedo, who was holding Klee at the side, instinctively tried to stop Ichigo but was a step too slow. Lin Ze, who was holding Paimon, also lost the initiative by the time they reacted. They watched Ichigo and Drax disappear into the darkness.

As for the wanderers.

It was so funny that he didn't even think about stopping it.

"Don't worry, I'm invincible—"

"No, I, the Destroyer, am the most invincible!"

"What?! Courage comes first! Real manliness comes first! It should be me!"

"Wait, don't push!"

"Move aside, you're stepping on my foot!"

"what--"

"Do not--"

Bang! Boom! Boom!

The sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground and the faint wailing came from the cave and reached the ears of everyone outside.

"Ah... My butt is in trouble again..."

"Eh? Why did I say again?"

"Yeah, why did you say that again? Wait, get up from my back first!!"

.....

There was chaos in the cave.

"Ugh! Two idiots."

Xingyun's bright eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.

Nebula is worthy of being Nebula. Her words made both teams cover their faces in shame.

Rocket couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he lifted his sleeves slightly, and the device on his arm emitted a bright light.

A group of people rushed in and saw Ikto and Drax climbing out of the pit.

They were brushing the dust off each other.

"Accident, this is definitely an accident! I just went down to check."

Yidou scratched the back of his head and nudged Drax with his elbow: "Brother, you are the same as me, right?"

Drax's back was aching slightly; Arawaki Ichito almost broke his back when he fell on his butt just now.

"Yes, yes, I went down to check as well."

In order to save face, Drax had no choice but to grit his teeth and help Yidu to cover up the lie.

The reactions of these two people who were trying to cover up their mistakes made others not know what to say. After all, it was their own teammates who were embarrassed. They were both the same, one was a dragon and the other was a phoenix. They should just stop laughing at each other.

"Um, Traveler, I seem to have hit a wall just now..."

Paimon in his arms covered her head and cried out. Lin Ze let go of her hand and let her fly back into the air.

"It looks like he was still confused just now."

Lin Ze lifted Paimeng's hair and checked the little guy's forehead: "You didn't hit the wall just now, it was me, the unlucky guy."

The fur is purring, and it won’t scare you.

Seeing that there was nothing serious on Paimeng's forehead except for some redness, Lin Ze rubbed her head and felt relieved.

"I... this was also an accident."

Paimon retorted stubbornly: "I was just anxious to see if you could catch up with me."

The little guy's arrogant look made everyone laugh.

After a small interlude.

Lin Ze and his friends continued to move forward in the cave. There was a different world inside, and it was the only option to reach the top of the mountain.

On the move,

Paimon flew to Lin Ze's side. She looked around, raised her little fist to her lips and coughed lightly.

Seeing this attracted Lin Ze's attention.

She lowered her voice and asked softly, "Ahem, let's forget about the little episode just now. Traveler, the champion of this competition is Paimon, right?"

Lin Ze turned around after hearing that, he looked at Paimeng for 2 seconds and then nodded seriously.

"It is indeed Paimon who won."

When the little guy heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up and he gave Lin Ze a bright smile.

"Wow! Really? Then when can Paimon's winning reward be redeemed?"

Looking at Paimon's expectant eyes, Lin Ze opened his mouth and a flash of reluctance passed through his eyes.

"It's definitely not possible now, let's go back later."

"I'll do it for you when we get back! A man's word is his bond, and I will never go back on my word."

Lin Ze's two sentences put up "flags" all over the ground. He didn't dare to continue looking at Paimon and quickly turned his eyes away.

Fortunately, it was dark in the cave and the little guy didn't notice.

"Well! I believe in the Traveler, so it's settled then!"

Although he couldn't eat the delicious curry right away, Paimon felt full of strength when he thought of the delicious food.

“Hmph~Hmph~Hmph~”

Not long after Paimeng sang the song, they turned a corner and the view in front of everyone suddenly became clear.

A man wearing a tattered cloak with black mist surrounding his lower body landed from mid-air.

His voice was like a worn-out guitar string, the sound it made was chilling.

"welcome!"

"Guardians of the Galaxy, Stranger..."
