Chapter 729: Chapter 692: True Colors
Rocky hurried to Dusa’s side, barely able to scold her when he suddenly found the area before him opening up expansively.
By then, they had traveled through the tunnel and arrived at an imnsely huge Dissolving Cave!
The vastness of the Dissolving Cave was beyond Rocky’s imagination. Looking up, one would see that the cave was hundreds of ters high, and under dim light, its ceiling was almost invisible. When he looked to his left and right, he found the cave seemingly boundless.
“What is this place…”
The sight before him made Rocky forget about Dusa. He took a couple of steps forward with his mouth slightly agape, a look of disbelief plastered across his face.
“It seems this is the true face of the Cave of Blood Cries.”
As Liliya joined Rocky and Dusa, she looked up and spoke with a tone filled with awe.
Just as she said, this Dissolving Cave must be the true nature of the Cave of Blood Cries. The Cave of Blood Cries was not rely a cave; the land’s cave was just an entrance. What truly connected was this Dissolving Cave, and this was exactly what made everyone incredulous. They had guessed that the entrance might be connected to a larger cave, but no one had imagined that such a vast space could exist underground.
The area of this Dissolving Cave was simply too vast.
“Where exactly might this Dissolving Cave be located?” Looking around and finding the cave surprisingly large, Rocky could not help but ask.
“It should be beneath Red Water Lake.”
Hearing Rocky’s words, Chief He Nan crouched down on the ground as he spoke, prompting Rocky and the others to hurry over to him. Bending down, they saw a pool of red liquid.
“Bloodwater?”
Seeing the pool of blood on the ground, they all imdiately furrowed their brows and pulled out their weapons.
“No, it’s not bloodwater.”
However, Chief He Nan down on the ground shook his head. He dipped his finger into the bloodwater, sniffed the trace on his finger, and soon detected a stench, “This isn’t bloodwater; it’s lake water.”
“Lake water?”
Such an answer made everyone look up together, all gazing at the ceiling above.
Drip…
Drip…
Drip…
As if to prove sothing, when Rocky and the others looked up, the dripping sound followed. Looking carefully, they could see red drops rhythmically falling from the ceiling of the Dissolving Cave.
Seeing this, everyone gasped, because they finally knew their current location.
They were right beneath Red Water Lake!
This vast Dissolving Cave was actually beneath Red Water Lake!
Upon reflection, this did not seem so strange, because since they entered the cave, they had traveled downward along the tunnel, walking several hundred ters. Considering the steepness of the tunnel, they clearly had not only moved forward but also downward several hundred ters, eventually arriving beneath Red Water Lake.
But why would there be such a vast Dissolving Cave beneath Red Water Lake?
Was it naturally ford, or was it man-made? And what secrets were hidden here?
There was one thing Rocky could confirm: the Dissolving Cave likely had nothing to do with Kasin City, aning it was almost certainly not man-made, especially since the only city nearby was Kasin City.
So it must have been naturally ford, but that raised many unanswered questions. If it was naturally ford, why was the water of Red Water Lake red, and why did it emit a fishy sll? What were the beetles and tentacles they encountered on their way here? Most importantly, why were the demons on the ground so afraid to approach this cave? These were questions that a naturally ford Dissolving Cave could not easily explain.
Without a doubt, there were secrets here.
“Let’s split up and check around; signal imdiately if you encounter any danger.”
Shifting his gaze away from the puddles, Rocky looked left and right, then quickly arranged for everyone to spread out. The cave was too vast, and frankly, Rocky didn’t want to stay here any longer than necessary. It was better to wrap everything up quickly.
No one objected to this plan, so they quickly scattered in different directions.
Once the others had left, Rocky also turned and walked deeper into the Dissolving Cave. Illuminated by the light from his Armor, he walked and looked around, trying his best to spot anything suspicious.
Crack…
He had only taken a few steps when Rocky felt a crisp sound underfoot, as if he had crushed sothing. Looking down, he saw a skeleton appear under his foot, its arm broken by his step.
It was another Beastman.
Rocky quickly identified it as a Beastman skeleton. It was an important find that Beastn had been here before them.
Considering Rocky’s own experiences, the Beastn who had made it here, like them, had overco the initial beetles and then evaded the tentacle attacks to finally arrive at the Dissolving Cave.
The fact that they managed this proved that the Beastn who got here had considerable strength; otherwise, they might not have gotten past the beetles. But still, they ended up as a pile of bones here. What had these Beastn encountered?
“Be on high alert, I’ve found Beastman bones here; there might be danger.”
Furrowing his brow and thinking, Rocky could not co up with an answer, but he still loudly cautioned everyone.
“Sir, I’ve found so here too! More than one.”
As soon as Rocky finished speaking, Dusa’s voice appeared; she too had discovered Beastman skeletons, and not just one.
“Chief He Nan, you better co and see this…”
After responding to Rocky, Dusa then called out to Chief He Nan, who imdiately ran over.
Rocky had thought about going there as well, but at that mont Liliya stopped him.
“Rocky, co and see this.”
“Coming.”
Upon hearing Liliya’s voice, Rocky quickly flew up and soon landed beside her, swiftly understanding why she had called him.
Because at that mont, Liliya was standing in front of a huge corpse, which wasn’t that of a Beastman or a demon, but so monster!
The corpse was over three ters tall, resembling a mantis magnified a hundred tis, not only vast but also with serrated scythes on its forelimbs, looking extraordinarily sinister.
“Is this… a demon? Or so other monster?”
Seeing the mantis-like monster corpse, Rocky and Liliya exchanged glances, seeing confusion and disbelief in each other’s eyes.
