Hearing that it was Ravenna's first time walking, both of them were stunned. But judging from her tone, it didn't seem like she was joking. Although it was her first time walking, it didn't seem like Ravenna couldn't find the way. She simply walked forward, and even if there was a fork in the road, she would choose the direction after looking for a while. It seemed like she knew the way. Although they didn't know how Ravenna did it, it shouldn't be a problem.
The inside of the cave was similar to what Li Huailin had imagined. It was pitch black. Even with a torch, they couldn't see the whole scenery. It could barely illuminate the road ahead. It was pitch black above their heads, and from time to time, they could hear some unknown cave dwellers' cries. It sounded like bats or something. But the good news was that it was warmer inside the cave. After walking for a while, they couldn't feel the temperature outside, and it even started to heat up.
"This temperature doesn't make sense. Is there a volcano nearby?" Li Huailin thought as he walked.
After a few rounds, Li Huailin couldn't figure out which direction to go. He was just following Ravenna. But as they walked, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed. There was a faint light coming from the front.
"Have we arrived?" Anthony asked.
"No, it's still too early," Ravenna simply replied.
After walking a few more steps, Anthony and Li Huailin realized what was glowing in front of them. It was actually plants, and there was more than one type. Not only were there lichens, but there were also mushrooms and grass. These plants all had a very obvious characteristic, which was that they were glowing. The light they emitted was also different. Although they were basically all cool colors, they were unusually beautiful.
"There's actually such a beautiful place." Anthony was also attracted by the scenery. He quickly walked towards the glowing plants, wanting to take a closer look.
"If I were you, I wouldn't walk over there." Ravenna suddenly said, "From here on, there will be all kinds of poisonous insects. Those bushes are basically filled with them. Although they are small, if they bite you, I guarantee it will be enough to make you suffer."
Anthony was taken aback when he heard this. Then, he focused his gaze and looked over there. With his monstrous eyes, he indeed saw some small bugs. He didn't expect that there would be so many creatures here. Moreover, these seemingly small bugs were actually poisonous.
"These flowers and plants are also poisonous." As if seeing Anthony's expression, Ravenna explained, "And the creatures that can survive here and feed on these poisonous plants are of course poisonous."
"I see." Anthony nodded. Although he wasn't an alchemist, he roughly knew that these poisonous plants and insects were probably very precious alchemy materials. This was because he had never seen these things in other places.
The further they walked, the more glowing plants there were. Relying on the illumination of these glowing plants, the scenery in front of them gradually became clearer. This place was indeed underground. There was no light at all above. The only source of light here was the plants. Li Huailin raised his head and looked up. The ceiling above was a few meters high. All kinds of glowing stone pillars hung from the top to the ground. It felt like they were glowing pillars, and the whole place was like a palace that glowed.
Li Huailin thought for a while. From a realistic point of view, this place was probably a karst cave from a very long time ago. Moreover, there was geothermal energy in the surroundings. These plants probably relied on the geothermal energy to survive. Since no one disturbed this place, it had formed an inherent ecosystem. As for the human tribe here, although they had a certain history, they definitely moved here later. They probably found this place by chance and lived until now, becoming the mysterious tribe of Gangara.
As they walked further in, there were obvious signs of human activity. In front of them, there was a pile of stones that looked like a door. However, it was just a doorway, there was no door. It looked like the stones were piled up to support the ceiling above. It seemed like there had been a collapse here before. And from this door, the architectural style was indeed very similar to the architectural style of the human race.
The two of them were now purely enjoying the scenery. But at this moment, Ravenna, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.
"It's a bit strange …" Ravenna paused for a moment and said, "We should be able to meet people of our tribe here …"
After blowing the sound, Ravenna stopped for a moment. It seemed like she was waiting for an echo from the front. But after a while, there was no new sound. Only the echo of Ravenna's voice echoed in the cave.
"Something's wrong …" Ravenna said and immediately began to run forward. Li Huailin and Anthony also saw that something was wrong, so they immediately followed. The two of them were very fast and immediately caught up with Ravenna. After running for a while, something happened in front of them.
A person appeared on the ground of the cave. The three of them immediately went closer to take a look and found that it was a corpse. A lot of strange insects were surrounding the corpse. The corpse was already eaten to a point where it didn't look right. Basically, they could only tell that it was a human corpse, and it should be a man. As for the rest … they couldn't tell.
"Why is there a corpse?" Anthony immediately asked.
"It's not someone of our tribe." Ravenna only took a glance and said. Because it was obvious that the person's clothes were still there, and judging from the clothes, it was not someone of their tribe. "There's an outsider coming in."
"Oh?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. "Such a coincidence? The situation doesn't seem right. How far is it from your tribe? "
"Not far." Ravenna said and immediately ran forward again. It seemed like she was anxious to return to her tribe to see the situation. The two of them immediately followed. After running for a few more steps, something happened again. This time … it was a lot of corpses.
"So many …" Li Huailin looked at the various corpses on the ground. There were more than 30 corpses on the ground, and there were more corpses this time. Although some were eaten by insects, there were still some corpses that were relatively intact. The corpses here were even more troublesome. First of all, there weren't only human corpses here. Li Huailin also saw corpses of beasts. Also, the corpses here weren't empty-handed. In fact, there were a lot of weapons on the ground, swords, guns, and some of the corpses were even wearing armor.
"Something's not good. It looks like a bandit group." Anthony quickly understood that these corpses didn't have the same armor. Some were wearing good armor, and some were not. It seemed like they weren't from the regular army.
"Is there anyone from your tribe?" Li Huailin immediately asked.
"No, there isn't," Ravenna immediately replied. Ravenna immediately replied, "Looks like someone attacked our tribe, and the tribe activated the poison to defend. These people were probably poisoned to death, so they should be fine …"
After saying that, Ravenna immediately started running forward again.
"This is a little troublesome. These corpses look like they've been dead for at least a day." Anthony suddenly said, "This means that the attack happened two days ago. If their tribe is still here, why didn't they respond just now …"
"No way, we just arrived here, and we're already wiped out?" Li Huailin said. "Anyway, let's go take a look first …"
The two quickly caught up with Ravenna. As they walked forward, the situation became even more exaggerated. It seemed like a super intense battle had happened here. There were many corpses lying on the ground. There were at least 200 corpses along the way. As they walked, bad news came. There were corpses of Ganga tribesmen on the ground, and they looked like they were hacked to death. Even their heads were gone.
Ravenna didn't say anything and continued to rush forward. Soon, the two of them followed her to a place that seemed to be inhabited because there were actually stone houses here. But … it was quiet here, and the ground was covered with corpses. Not only were there the corpses of outsiders, but there were also many corpses of Gangara tribesmen.
"It's over, it's over …" Li Huailin said. "Could it be that the mission was triggered too late?"
"Great Elder! Margera! Tyre! " Ravenna shouted a few times at the empty village, but no one responded. Soon, Ravenna began to search on the ground. There were about a hundred corpses lying on the ground, but most of them weren't Ganga tribesmen.
"A group of Orc bandits. It sounds familiar …" Anthony also looked at the corpses and said, "Huailin, what do you think? Who are they? "
"How would I know? The only thing I know is that our clue might be broken again. How do we play this mission …" Li Huailin said, feeling a headache coming on.
"There are still people …" Suddenly, Ravenna ran out of the house and said, "The Great Elder and the others aren't here. It seems like they ran away. I have to go find them immediately."
"Oh?" Li Huailin heard this and was delighted. "There are people who ran away. That's great!"
"Or they were caught …" Anthony suddenly pointed at the arm of a corpse and said.
"Hmm?" Li Huailin was slightly taken aback when he saw where Anthony was pointing. He suddenly recalled something.
