So tired....

It's a pretty amazing amount of stamina to keep going up along the mountain, and I don't know how Bai Jiang and Xi Jiang and the others don't even get tired. (Note: This is actually the benefit of the stamina slot, when you find yourself overexerting, slow down and then eat something at the item bar to recover your stamina.)

But when I saw that they had no problem at all, I couldn't say anything, so I just had to keep up with them.

There are no trails at all on top of this mountain, it does seem to be a place where no one ever comes, and I don't know why that dragon came to this place.

"Oh~"

Suddenly, Xi Jiang, who was walking ahead, jumped on top of a raised rock and then looked around.

"This view is really nice~"

I looked back, and although I wasn't standing as tall as Xi Jiang, the view in front of me was pretty good.

The fog in the valley looked like clouds, so it looked as if we were above the clouds.

"But we should be able to see clearly from here, right?"

Bai Jiang said.

"Look over there, that tallest tree, isn't it very good as a target for us to move forward, and once we get to that tree we can climb up there and look around. That tree is very close to the edge of the forest, so we probably shouldn't get lost from there, right?"

"Well, indeed ."

Xi Jiang nodded, then took out a spell charm and handed it to me.

"Xiao Hei, tie this spell charm on top of your arrow and shoot it over that tree. Shoot it right, I'm done with this spell I can’t do it again."

"Really, whom you are talking to shoot on point?"

I smiled and took the spell to help over my arrow, then shot it smoothly, the bow hitting the top end of the tree accurately.

"Well, that's nice."

Xi Jiang nodded, then made a hand seal, an arrow floating in her hand.

"Oh, does it actually work like that? It does look convenient."

"Well, if I'd brought more we wouldn't had any problem, but unfortunately I wasn't prepared for this trip either."

Xi Jiang spread his hands and laughed bitterly.

"Well, never mind, now let's hurry up and go, or we won't make it back to the academy before tomorrow, that would be a problem."

"Well, let's go."

I nodded.

Click!

Suddenly, I heard a strange sound.

Looking at the source of the sound, Xi Jiang still kept the same movement she had when she jumped off the top of the rock, and the source of the sound was probably her feet, because she seemed to have landed on top of a certain stone slab as she jumped, and that slab actually sank downwards a bit.

"What the..."

I looked at her, then at the floor.

"What did we..."

"Hit the jackpot probably."

Xi Jiang smiled bitterly, then moved her foot.

Then, just as I probably expected, the entire floor collapsed right down. We all fell down!

I was going to jump right out, but I didn't expect there to be something like a pipe underneath after the floor collapsed, smoothly not even a landing place.

After Dio absorbed it, our group and the sand and dirt rolled around inside its original pipe for a long time before finally landing on the floor.

"Geez... what the hell..."

I rushed to the ground and patted the dust off my body.

My new clothes are completely ruined, and my black clothes are now all gray.

Hey, it's really hard to wash these clothes.

"Xi Jiang! You see you...eh?"

I looked around and where I was now seemed to be inside an unlit cave with no light at all.

I even took out the chest light that I had been given by Bai Jiang and turned it on and hung it on top of my clothes.

Looking around the cave, I noticed that it was a cave with artificially polished walls, and apart from the top pipe I had fallen down, there was only a small door on the other side of the cave.

"What the hell is this place..."

I went under the pipe and yelled.

"Xi Jiang! Bai Jiang! Where are you guys?"

"Ahhhh............................."

There was an echo from inside the cave, but after a long time I didn't hear anything back from Xi Jiang or Bai Jiang.

Oh no, it looks like I'll have to deal with this by myself. Really, how come every time it comes to a time like this it's always this kind of fall out.

I shook my head and walked up to the door.

It was a wooden door that looked badly corroded, and I pushed it down with a slight push.

Next was a very wide tunnel with numerous doors on either side of it, probably the same room.

Eighty percent , Xi Jiang and Bai Jiang are also in one of the rooms?

I looked to the sides of the tunnel, and I couldn't see the end of the darkness where I could reach to the light.

"Uh... it's scary..."

I cringed.

"There shouldn't be a ghost, should there?"

But, suddenly I immediately felt wrong again.

"Are you kidding me! So what if it's a ghost? We've even killed Abyss and several demons, so what's a ghost?"

I said that to myself, and pulled out a coin.

"Positive to the left, negative to the right."

Saying so, I tossed the coin.

The coin spun in the air, then fell to the ground, and with a clink actually rolled out towards the left side of the tunnel.

"Hey, hey, hey! Not like this..."

I chased after it, but the coin actually rolled faster and faster!

"Hey, hey, hey!"

I hurriedly pulled out my bow and arrow and aimed it at the coin on the floor.

As a result, I heard a scream, and the coin stopped rolling, then all of a sudden stuck in a crack in the wall.

And a sound of footsteps passed down the tunnel.

I shined the floor with my chestlight, and on it was some green liquid extending towards the left direction with sound.

"Looks like... it's this way, isn't it?"
