After traveling for the past few days, stopping for a few tis to rest, they finally saw a deep hole in the ground covered by mosses that were grey in color. Along the way, Fein and others encountered flying beasts and other desert beasts that forced them into fighting. This is the first ti Fein felt annoyed by fighting. After all, those guys didn't even drop exps because of his talent upgrade process, this face had made him quite frustrated.
As a result, he vented his frustration through the bastard who kept coming to disturb their adventure.
The strength of the monster is all A-B ranks which Fein solved with just one casual slash while the other takes a bit of effort.
The other beast was left to his friends because he wants them to continue to improve in terms of battle experience which would beco helpful to them in the future.
"Aoi you can land near the mosses, we would proceed carefully from now on, Voli don't act rashly got it?" Fein reminded with seriousness.
The three nodded with him.
Aoi dives through the sky, and the wind blew Sofia and Fein's hair because of the strong wind.
*Thud*
Aoi landed in the sky, the impact blew the sand that scattered them in the air.
Fein, Voli, and Sofia jumped from Aoi's back to the ground.
"Heh, I can already feel the vileness in the underground entrance," Fein said.
Sofia also felt cold after nearing the underground passage.
"It's really an underground passage, there is a high chance that this place contains inheritance" Sofia knit her brows.
"Let's go, that's why we needed to proceed with caution," Fein responded as he went towards the underground entrance.
The gray moss were giving a relaxing scent. Fein's consciousness and senses beca dull, he felt that it was fine to doze off for a mont, his nerves relaxes and his tight muscles started to beco loose. Suddenly, Fein's eye beca sharp, he quickly raised his left hand to slapped himself and entered 100% alertness.
'Shit that was too close! These gray mosses are too damn sinister!'
He just completely let his guard down now because of the relaxing scent. He knew how dangerous it was to do that in this unfamiliar environnt. What's even made him suspicious was the perfect arrangent of the mosses in the underground entrance! It was as if sothing or soone was deliberately trying to make the outsiders relax and eliminate their vigilance!
'Damn, this place doesn't seem right!' Fein looked at his friends that were in a daze this ti.
'It seems they fell on the effects of this strange mosses'
"Sofia! Hey you guys! Damn it!" Fein called their na one by one loudly to wake them up...
Seeing that they aren't responding, he shook Sofia's body first, just like that Sofia woke up in her daze, and her dull eyes beca bright and clear.
"What happened?" Sofia whispered with apparent confusion.
Fein pointed at the gray mosses and others that were in a daze.
"These gray mosses were releasing a scent that could relax those who sll it. I think these are intended to let the outsiders who tried to enter the underground reduce their alertness!"
Fein told her his findings, while simultaneously unsheathing his sword.
Sofia looked horrified after knowing that she was successfully fallen into a trap just now.
White light flashed on after another splitting the grey mosses, and every piece quickly vanished.
Fein decided to study these magical plants, so he stored them in his inventory.
Voli and Aoi finally woke up after Sofia poured cold water on their heads.
After making sure that everyone is okay, and that there are no other side effects, the four of them finally ca in front of the underground passage. In front of them was a black gate that has a skull emblem in the middle.
"Fortunately I manage to wake up early, or I don't know what consequences would be if I've fallen completely," Fein said feeling that his luck have saved him.
Sofia scanned the designs of the black gate.
"I think what we have in front of us has a lot of history. Look at the skulls, the way it was carved was ingenious, one needs special equipnt to do this. It seems the technology of the Ancient Civilizations is more advance than we thought." Sofia caressed the line of the black gate using her hands.
Seeing Sofia's action, Fein tried to stop her. After all, it was foolish to touch unknown things, it might activate so traps or unwanted things.
"Don't touch anything, we don't know anything about this place, you're pretty reckless!" Fein raised his voice.
After all, they should be careful in his opinion. One mistake on their part would harm all of them like a domino effect, Fein isn't afraid of a strong enemy, what he was afraid of was a pig teammate. That's why he decided to reprimand Sofia a little bit.
After being scolded by Fein, Sofia quickly pulled out her hands and woke up in her reverie, her face was red because of sha. She knew that what she did is wrong.
'I'm pretty reckless just now, what the hell is wrong with !?' Sofia cursed his own stupidity.
"I'm sorry" Sofia bowed her head and looked down.
Seeing that he accepted her mistakes and didn't try to deny it. Fein knew that it was enough. At least, she knew that she was wrong.
'Well, Sofia was still inexperienced in exploration. I can't really bla her... But I hope she can learn faster, with her potential, it's only a matter of ti before she needs to take the matters into her own hands.' Fein looked at Sofia with pity.
In the future, Sofia would have a big responsibility of managing the Vladimir Family as the heiress. He was teaching Sofia a lot of practical things because he doesn't want her to suffer and beco ignorant. He decided to let her experience things in advance so it won't be too late in the future.
"Don't worry about it, but be sure to pay attention next ti," Fein smiled gently.
"Let's enter, this gate doesn't have traps on it."
Sofia smiled after seeing that he didn't an to bla her, she knew that Fein was only teaching her.
She felt bad for her recklessness. Now, She was determined to learn from Fein and beco soone like him who could think in any kind of situation rationally.
