It has been two hours of walking, ever since I entered this cave and I am still unable to find anything. The cave seems to be empty and there was no sign of living beast inside it, at this point I kind of wanted to give up and go back, but since I"ve already come this far, so I decided to keep going forward without stopping.Eventually, 10 hours have pa.s.sed and there was still nothing except for complete darkness. At this point, I am starting to get worried that I might have been lost inside this cave, and who knows I might never be able to get out of this cave again because I don"t even know which direction I came from anymore.
"Aaahhh! What is going on? There seems to be no end to this…." said Ryo Setsuna while using his right-hand pinky finger to pick on his right ears.
However, I didn"t stop and continue moving forward and about 23 hours later, I am still unable to find anything. At this point, I don"t even know what time it is now and also I was getting really tired, so I decided to take a nap instead, hopefully, I will be able to find something after I wake up.
The next day, I woke up and I saw sunlight shining from the top of the cave and out of curiosity, I decided to head toward the direction where the sunlight was coming from, in order to see what was going on.
Upon arriving at the scene where the sunlight is, I saw a very beautiful hot spring ahead of me and the hot spring water was crystal clear as if like made of diamond. Also, due to the fact that the sunlight was shining upon the hot spring water which makes it even more beautiful and shiny.
Seeing such a beautiful hot spring makes me have the urge to dive in and enjoy myself like in sauna bath, but when I tried to get close to it, I noticed that the temperature seems to be at 100-degree Celsius which is at boiling point for cooking.
"Wow, that was scary! Good thing I didn"t just dive in it without thinking, otherwise I would"ve been cooked alive by now!" said Ryo Setsuna nervously.
Seeing that the sunlight coming from the top of the cave means I finally found the exit, but I didn"t want to leave just yet, as I have yet to explore the other areas of the cave. At this point in time, I was getting really hungry, so I went to my inventory system and took out some tiger meat ready. Then with the tiger, I started cooking it using the hot spring boiling water and once the meat is cooked, I started eating it.
"Delicious! d.a.m.n cooked meat still taste the best, it has been a long time since I eat cooked food" said Ryo Setsuna joyfully.
While Ryo Setsuna was having his meal and without knowingly there was a very gigantic black snake secretly following him from behind and he didn"t seem noticed it.
Once I am done eating, I then proceed to explore the other part of the cave, but this time I bit my finger in order to get some blood out and then with the blood I used it to mark on the wall, so this way I can trace myself back later, so that I won"t get lost again.
Now that I left some blood marked on the wall, I can now explore the cave deeper without worrying about getting lost. As I went deeper and deeper, I eventually come across four tunnels inside the cave.
As I was standing in front the of the four tunnels, I was deciding as to which path to take as I am not sure which is the right one. I stood there for 2 hours straight because I am still unable to make up mind on which direction to go. Eventually, I didn"t care anymore and just choose the one toward the most right.
As I was about to enter the tunnel that I chose, suddenly behind me I heard a hissing sound and when I turned around, I saw a huge big black prehistoric snake standing right in front of me while flicking its tongue as that it was ready to swallow me any second.
"What what! Was this snake following me all this time? No way, how come I didn"t notice it and not only that its level is 500….. look like I am really going to die this time!" said Ryo Setsuna nervously.
The snake didn"t seem to make her move yet and was just staring at my eyes directly and from the way she looks in my eyes, I could tell that the minute I move, that will the moment she will attack me. At this point, my eyes were meeting her eyes directly and her eyes were extremely big and golden yellow in color.
However, judging by its size I could tell that it was easily at least 75 feet in length and also big enough to swallow a human being in one move. At this moment of time, I was thinking of what I should I do and given my high intelligence game stat which allowed me to think faster, I finally able to come out with a plan and that is to use the tiger meat as bait.
While the snake was staring at me while making the hissing noise, I then went to my inventory system and took the tiger meat and with that, I threw it directly onto the snake face. While the snake was swallowing the tiger meat, I quickly dash into one of the four tunnels and continue running away at an extreme speed.
