Beast Den
The two of them entered the tunnel. It was dark and deep. Although they had the faint chakra shining tool in their hands, it was better to say that the dim light made the tunnel even more sinister and terrifying.
Kirito walked at the front while Tian Tian followed closely behind. When faced with darkness, most people would subconsciously feel fear. Kirito was no exception, and Tian Tian, who was a girl, was even more so. However, because Kirito had the special ability of the " assassin," she seemed to have no primitive fear of the darkness. In fact, she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. As well as the night vision ability bestowed by the Assassin. As Kirito walked through the pitch-black passageway, his vision was not affected at all.
However, because his vision was not affected, Kirito walked forward at a normal pace, slowly pulling away from Tian Tian who was carefully groping forward.
In her anger, the latter immediately caught up to Kirito and grabbed the corner of his shirt." Hey, you, don't walk so fast!"”
"Oh, really?" Kirito immediately slowed down. In fact, it was not that he was walking fast, but that Tian Tian was walking slower. After all, in the dark tunnel where one could not even see their own fingers, it was impossible for ordinary people to maintain their normal walking speed.
As Kirito was wearing tight-fitting clothes, Tian Tian's clothes were not easy to grasp. In addition, it was dark and she could not see the road. From time to time, she would step on Kirito's heels and fall off slightly.
Kirito suddenly understood and reached out a hand to grab the latter's palm.
" Huh?!" Something warm suddenly grabbed her hand, causing Tian Tian to jump in shock. In the darkness, she couldn't see anything around her, but when she heard Kirito's voice, she knew that it was Kirito who grabbed her hand.
"Follow closely, Tian Tian."
“……”
In the darkness, the two of them once again advanced silently.
With the chakra light stick in her hand, Tian Tian's eyes were fixed on the back of the Kirito walking in front of her. She suddenly felt that she was no longer afraid of this gloomy place.
After the two of them walked for a while, Kirito was the first to stop.
Tian Tian couldn't see her surroundings clearly, so she crashed into Kirito's back.
"What…?"
Kirito exhaled slightly and said in surprise," There's an undercurrent ahead.”
"Is that so? No wonder I felt that the air seemed to have become moist, but I didn't seem to hear the sound of running water.”Tian Tian asked curiously.
Not far ahead, there was a muddy area with undercurrents. In the darkness, only he, who had good night vision, could see clearly.
Moreover, with his sharp eyes, he also discovered that there seemed to be something white floating in the mud. Kirito frowned slightly. If his guess was correct, the white color in the mud was the skeleton of a dead person. It seemed that before they came, someone had already set foot here. At the same time, there were dead people, which proved that this place was dangerous.
After looking around, Kirito's gaze fell on a sharp rock on the other side of the quagmire.
He turned around and looked at Tian Tian. She was in the dark, her eyes wide open, but he couldn't see anything. Then, Kirito waved his hand and summoned a flying claw chain.
"Eh?" Tian Tian only felt a warm sensation on her waist, and then she realized that Kirito was hugging her waist with one hand.
"We're going to jump over, hold on tight Tian Tian.”Kirito hugged Tian Tian tightly with one hand and jumped forward. His other hand threw out a flying claw and accurately hooked onto a sharp rock in the distance. Immediately, the two of them flew across the muddy area in front of them.
While in mid-air, Tian Tian subconsciously grabbed onto Kirito's neck, but the shiny chakra cudgel in her hand fell to the ground.
" Huh?!" The shining cudgel landed on the muddy ground, and under the dim light, Tian Tian could see the skull that had turned white, looking extremely terrifying!
One could imagine how terrifying it would be to see a white skull in the dark. Tian Tian was so scared that her body trembled, and her arms tightened around the Kirito's neck. Her lips subconsciously screamed.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Coo!"
With his neck suddenly strangled and a sudden scream right next to his ear, Kirito nearly lost his grip on the iron chain in his hand. He staggered and almost fell. However, in the end, one of their feet landed on the edge of the quagmire first. With a push from the tip of their toes, the two of them landed safely.
"Let…let go…Tian Tian!" After they landed safely, Tian Tian's frightened hands still held onto his neck. Kirito grabbed her wrist with one hand and gently stroked Tian Tian's back with the other to calm her down.
After a while, Tian Tian finally calmed down and let go of his neck.
"Huff ~" Kirito took in large mouthfuls of air and said helplessly,"I almost couldn't breathe, Tian Tian."”
"Wu…" Tian Tian knew that she had lost her composure just now, and her face couldn't help but turn red. She couldn't help but say,"No…no choice!" A skull suddenly appeared out of nowhere. What kind of place was this?”
"Alright, alright." Kirito also knew that he couldn't blame Tian Tian for this. If it were him, he would be shocked by the sight of such a large skull. However, with his good night vision, he could see everything around him from a distance.
Kirito helped Tian Tian up from the ground. However, after helping her up, Tian Tian held onto his hand tightly and did not let go. Kirito did not mind. He grabbed the back of her hand and comforted her," Don't worry, I'm here."”
Although that was what he said, when Kirito Huan looked at the passage after crossing the quagmire, he could not help but frown slightly. He muttered to himself,'From the structure of this passage, it doesn't look like an abandoned mine that had accidentally collapsed like what the intelligence said.'
On the contrary, the road here was rugged. The walls around the passage were not made of bricks. They were smooth and without patterns, as if they were painted with some kind of substance and hardened. There were also some strange footprints on the ground under his feet. No, they should not be footprints, but traces of some reptile walking.
" Huh?!"
"Hey, Kirito, did you hear anything strange?”Tian Tian couldn't help but lean against Kirito due to her fear of the unknown.
"It seems that there is no mistake." Kirito narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly," Did we barge into some spiritual beast's cave?!"”
