“No way. Could it be that this hole was really made by something?”
She mumbled, finding her discovery unbelievable.
The two caves, which had the same shape, size, and height, were in a straight line, as if they had been pierced by a huge object.
What was even more incredible was that she had been to this place more than once, but this was the first time she had seen the cave in front of her. Could there be some kind of barrier at the entrance of the cave that would only appear at a certain time every year?
“You just want me to look at this cave?”
MO Ruyue turned his head and asked the black wolf king who was following him.
“Wuwuwu… Awooo…”
The black wolf king nodded at her, as if it wanted to tell her something.
Unfortunately, the human and wolf did not understand each other’s language. Even if she heard it, she could not understand what it was saying.
“Ah, if only I had a beast language translator. I wonder if the tool room in the realm can make it.”
MO Ruyue sighed again. However, since the black wolf king had brought her to this place, it was likely that he didn’t just want her to take a look outside. It was even more likely that he wanted her to go in and take a look.
She tried to take two steps forward, but the black wolf king did not make any move to stop her. Instead, it kept staring at her.
“Is there a time limit? I won’t be locked inside, will I?” She turned around and asked with uncertainty.
If it weren’t for her babies, she would have gone in without hesitation to see what was going on, but now she had too many things to worry about, so she was less curious.
“Aowu, aowu…”
The black wolf king’s four limbs lightly stomped on the ground, as if urging MO Ruyue to hurry in.
“Alright, you won’t harm me. What’s inside? Let me go in and see.”
MO Ruyue said softly. A flashlight appeared in her hand, and she immediately walked toward the hole.
The depth of this cave was much deeper than the one at the entrance. At the entrance, they could still see the light outside the cave, but this one was completely dark, without even a faint light.
MO Ruyue’s cold light flashlight had a very long range and her vision was very good. Even so, she still didn’t see any signs of an end.
She turned her head to look at the way she had come and saw the wolf king standing proudly at the entrance of the cave, as if waiting for her return.
Since she didn’t know if there was a time limit for this hole to appear, MO Ruyue turned around and walked faster inside.
The tunnel was very damp, and the sound of water dripping could be heard all the way. He could even step on some puddles of water, which was almost impossible in the weather where water would turn to ice.
MO Ruyue had been carefully observing the surrounding environment. The deeper they went, the quieter the surroundings seemed to be. There was not even the sound of water dripping.
In her memory, she had already walked more than a hundred meters, but the tunnel still had no end, and there were no forks. It was as if it would just continue on.
“What is it that the black wolf king wants me to see so seriously? There’s actually an illusion at the entrance, so it shouldn’t be an ordinary thing. At least, the existence of this pack of wolves is not ordinary.”
She mumbled to herself. Her voice was reflected by the rock wall and echoed in the tunnel, as if someone was whispering in her ear.
Although the tunnel was large enough for a person to walk upright, the triangular structure caused the rock walls on both sides to pincer attack people and extend into the distance, making it look cramped and shrinking.
It was only because MO Ruyue was skilled and bold that she didn’t have problems like claustrophobia. She didn’t feel any discomfort even after walking for so long.
After she had walked forward for the time it took to finish a cup of tea, the cold light of the flashlight that had an extremely long endurance suddenly went out.
The tunnel suddenly turned pitch black. The sudden loss of light made MO Ruyue temporarily blind, but it was only for a moment. She immediately discovered that the rock walls of the tunnel had changed.
The tunnel looked like a giant rock that had been pierced through. The walls on both sides were smooth, and there was not even a single protruding rock. However, the moment she lost her vision, the walls on both sides turned into a rock layer mixed with soil and stone, and even some unknown plant roots and small insects.
It was as if she had been teleported to another tunnel. When she looked back, the light at the entrance of the cave and the silhouette of the wolf king had disappeared inexplicably.
Both ends were pitch-black, and the corridor stretched endlessly. If it wasn’t for the fact that MO Ruyue didn’t rely on her sight to determine the direction, this glance would have easily confused the two directions.
She had not noticed the flow of air when she was walking in the tunnel. Although it was damp, there was still a musty smell. Now, she could vaguely feel the wind blowing from the front, and the musty smell seemed to have disappeared.
MO Ruyue did not seem to be flustered by this change. She just thought of an article called the peach blossom origins. If she also encountered such a situation, and when she walked out, she found that decades or even hundreds of years had passed, and everything had changed, it would be hard for her to accpnt
However, she couldn’t stay in the same place forever, so she continued to move forward in her original direction.
This time, she didn’t go far before a light spot appeared in front of her. As she continued forward, the light spot grew bigger and bigger. It was obvious that she had reached the exit on the other side.
MO Ruyue walked out of the cave and immediately frowned.
What appeared in front of her was actually another valley of treasures!
Other than the fact that the black wolf king was not waiting outside, the surrounding grass and trees were exactly the same as when she entered the cave.
What was going on?
MO Ruyue had thought of many possibilities, but she had missed this one.
However, after her reincarnation, she could quickly calm down when faced with such a situation again. She adjusted her mentality to deal with what was going to happen next.
She casually picked a herb beside her and found that this herb seemed to be older than the one on the other side of the tunnel.
Could it be that she was really lost in the tunnel, and it had been a long time since she was in that time?
At the thought of her babies suddenly finding out that she had gone missing and had never appeared again, would they think that they had been abandoned?
In the days that she was gone, what kind of life did they live? did they go from anticipation to disappointment in her, and finally walk the old road of becoming the villain in endless hatred?
The more she thought about it, the more shocked she became, and her palms started to sweat.
MO Ruyue quickly walked towards the entrance on the other end. Whether it was a guess or a truth, she had to go and confirm it with her own eyes.
However, when she was halfway there, she found that something was wrong. The rock wall where there should have been an exit was actually smooth, without even a narrow crack.
This was a mirror image of the valley of treasures, but it was not exactly the same as the one outside.
The giant tree that the wolf king often lived on was still there, but it was no longer a ginkgo tree that was hundreds of years old. Instead, it was an even older maple tree..
