Chapter 110: Doubt

Unfortunately, at this time, I simply couldn’t tell what it was. Because this idea was so natural and true that it was like my own idea, except that it was a thought that made me struggle.

I turned around and looked at the evil spirits still floating in the caves with cold eyes. In essence, evil spirits are also human souls. Even if they are difficult to untie, they are fierce and forget all human feelings. They will harm people to calm their resentment if they have the opportunity, but in the end they still have human thoughts.

So, when I looked at them, the evil spirits began to hide, afraid… I don’t know when a sense of pity appeared in my heart, but the voice inside me kept telling me to kill them all, to cleanse everything evil.

My hand on the copper beam trembled and shook, and I wanted to turn back and clean up the evil spirits in the cave completely.

However, at this moment, the scene that appeared in front of my eyes was actually the scene of Li Fengxian’s soul flying apart after he had solved his knot. If there were fewer grievances and hostility in the world, and more peaceful ways to solve them, it would not be necessary to use such extreme methods as killing everything… Almost biting my teeth, I immediately pulled open the copper bar, then pushed open the copper door in front of me, and walked in without looking back.

At that moment, I felt very strange, as if I had done something very remarkable, but I didn’t know what it was.

With a loud bang, the door behind me slammed shut. I don’t know if it was a spring-loaded device, but it closed tightly… I subconsciously turned around and, for some reason, reached out to pull the door, but it didn’t budge.

“In this underground cave, there is only forward, no backward.” Suddenly, a strange voice rang out from above the cave.

“Who?” I was already in a relatively tense state, and as soon as I heard this voice, I immediately asked subconsciously.

“Don’t be nervous. I’m an elder of the Snow Mountain clan. You can look up.” The voice was full of a friendly feeling.

I looked up and sure enough, I found a basketball-sized hole in the cave. There was a faint light on the other side of the hole, and I could see a face on the other side of the hole. However, because of the distance, I couldn’t see what it looked like.

“What does this mean?” I looked at it. Although there was a hole, it was at least 10 meters above the ground, surrounded by smooth rock walls with some light green moss. There was no way to get up there… And even if I did, I couldn’t possibly fit through such a small hole.

So, I don’t understand what it means to make a hole here?

“There are some things being held in this underground cave, and they need to be observed at all times to prevent accidents… Also…” While he was talking, the elder of the Snow Mountain clan paused for a moment, then put something into the hole, and then quickly slid down the hole, and ‘pata’ fell not far from me.

I picked up the object with doubt. It turned out to be a cloth bag. I opened it and found several steamed buns, some dried meat, and a small leather bag. I shook it and opened it to smell it. It was filled with water.

I was just parched, wondering how long I would have to endure the dryness before I could break through the cave. I didn’t expect to find this. Without thinking, I grabbed the leather bag and started drinking water. Then I heard a friendly laugh from the other side of the cave, and then I heard, “Actually, breaking through the underground cave is not about forcing your way in. There are also opportunities in the middle, and the test is for those who are destined to be there. There are some things you can’t kill or defeat…”

“Really?” I put down the leather bag in my hand and tied it around my waist. Half of the water in the leather bag was drunk. In fact, I don’t care what it is to break into the underground cave. I just know that I have to break through.

“You don’t seem to care. But young people are really ruthless. You’ve almost cleared out the first level… Don’t you want to leave a way out for everything? You are stronger than we thought. The last thunder spell was amazing. I wish you could finally get out of the cave.” After saying that, the man was about to leave.

“Wait…” I suddenly shouted.

“Huh?” The voice paused in surprise.

“Is this amount of food and water enough? What if I’m in there for ten days or half a month, won’t I starve to death?” I shouted.

“Every time you pass a level, there will be a hole like this, and you will naturally be replenished.” The voice explained it to me once. I thought about it and realized that it could really be the case. Otherwise, why would he say that the thunder technique I used in the first level was amazing?

In theory, there shouldn’t be a problem, but for some reason, I subconsciously shouted, “Leaving a line for everything means leaving it for the righteous and kind, not for those evil spirits. Do you understand?”

“Huh?” The voice seemed a little strange, but after waiting for a long time, his voice did not sound again. I must have left, and I myself was stunned on the spot. I didn’t understand what I meant. Why did I yell out such a sentence? Was that what I originally meant? Because of my master’s education, I simply don’t think that there is an absolute right and wrong. This line was originally blurred. Why use a method that kills everything?

I couldn’t understand it, so I didn’t bother to think about it… At this time, I remembered to go see this so-called second level. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the first level, this second level was unusually quiet. Under the dim, cold light, it was empty, and there were no extra side roads. There was only one main road, straight down.

Even here, I don’t feel any excessive coldness… It’s like a normal underground cave. What does this mean? Isn’t it that the lower you go, the more powerful the guys are? I firmly believe that this should be the case, because I feel that the aura here is a bit heavier… And there is an invisible pressure of confinement here. I only vaguely feel this pressure, and my heart has a judgment. It can be said to be a very terrible and untouchable pressure, but fortunately it is not directed at me.

This atmosphere is actually not a good thing, it can only make people feel more uneasy… I walked down, there was no obstacle along the way, but I don’t know why, I inexplicably got goosebumps on my back.

At this time, I felt that Shatu was about to wake up, and I was tense all over, and I felt that I had to pause… it would be better to wait until Shatu woke up, and I was afraid that I would have a little more confidence to get through it.

In addition, if I am destined to only get this far, even if I am a glutton, it is better than being a starving ghost. Thinking this way, I sat down cross-legged, took out some dried food, and began to eat it with water.

After all that I had been through since the drumming, I had not eaten anything other than breakfast, so a few slices of dried meat and a few steamed buns tasted very sweet to me… Perhaps food can calm the uneasiness and anxiety in one’s heart. Slowly, my mood was not so depressed, and I began to look around and take stock of the environment of the cave.

In addition to the main cave, there are several other caves that branch off from it, similar to side roads… There is no lighting in these caves, so they look dark and a bit scary.

The entire cave was dry and looked clean, but apart from that, there was nothing else to describe or note… I was about to look down to see what was carved on the main cobblestone road, but at that moment, I caught a glimpse of something strange in the corner of my eye.

What was it? Because of the dancing flames on the walls and the angle, I didn’t notice it at first… But the more I looked, the more I thought there was something stacked there.

Because of the dim light, I couldn’t see clearly what it was… But I didn’t feel any danger, just that the stacked things had a kind of gray decay, like something that had been decaying for a long time.

Because the cave was too clean, empty and quiet… so I couldn’t hold back my curiosity any longer. I ran over there with my mouthful of steamed buns, wanting to see what it was.

The pile of things was not far from me, just a distance of twenty or so meters. After running for a few seconds, I ran over… After the distance was closed, I finally saw the pile of things clearly, and I couldn’t help but let out a “ah,” and the steamed bun in my mouth almost fell to the ground.

I quickly caught the steamed bun, and my heart told me firmly that no grain of rice should be wasted. I don’t know why I care about these details, because the pile of things in front of me is very ordinary, but it is too unexpected.

It was a pile of dried human bones!
