Chapter 67: To the Southeast! Underground Cave (3).
Clank, Clank.
Seeing that the white rabbit was still not killing its master, skeleton #2 mustered all its courage as it approached its master's side steadily before whispering in its master's ears weakly.
"Eh... Are you sure?" Leo couldn't help but utter in surprise as he silently peeked at the rabbit on his shoulder stiffly.
Clank! (Yes!).
"Then let's try it."
Taking a deep breath, since he couldn't think of any other solution without risking his safety, Leo could only risk it and decided to follow Skeleton #2 words/suggestion...
Taking a deep breath, Leo slowly retrieved a seemingly withered fruit from his inventory before showing it to the white rabbit on his shoulder.
...
Squeak!
In an instant, seeing the withered fruit on Leo's arm, the black eyes of the white rabbit instantly shone brightly.
Instinctively twitched its nose as it sniffed in the direction of the withered fruit, staring at it with intense desire.
Squeak, Squeak!
It squeaked excitedly as it pointed toward the withered fruit on Leo's hand before pointing toward it.
Its gesture is self-evident as it wanted the withered fruit on Leo's hand.
"This... You want this?" Leo asks in confirmation, only to see the white rabbit on his shoulder anxiously nod its little head up and down.
"Then, if I give it to you, you will still attack us?"
Hearing Leo's question, the rabbit hesitated slightly, its eyes revealing pity before shaking its head decisively.
"Then it's settled then."
Unhurriedly giving the withered fruit toward the white rabbit on his shoulder. Leo watched the rabbit open its mouth excitedly, revealing a densely packed of sharp long teeth enough for any carnivores to feel ashamed and inferior...
"F*ck!" Leo almost froze in shock and fear upon seeing this, before quickly regaining his senses as he wiped the forming sweat on his forehead instinctively.
Engulfing the withered fruit in one go, the white rabbit created a low squeaking sound akin to satisfaction before hoping down on Leo's shoulder.
Moving in the distance, the rabbit suddenly halts before looking at Leo and the group. Hesitating slightly, it suddenly gestured toward the group to follow it, waving its little white paw cutely.
Weird...
The group thought upon reaching halfway to the top of the mound. As they advanced further, the group began to feel their fatigue reduced by a small amount as they advance.
The Qi in the mound was also dense, almost creating a thin fog in the environment as it restricted their vision a little, making the group want to sit down and cultivate for a while.
"The Qi here is denser compared to the town..."
Leo and the group exchanged glances as they continued following the rabbit, quite curious about where it wanted to lead them.
Upon reaching the top of the mound, the rabbit immediately paused as it twitched its nose, sniffing the air as it looked at the horizon in puzzlement.
Squeak? Squeak?
It scratched its head with its paw, as it sniffed again, however instead of sniffing the air, it began to sniff the ground.
Squeak!
Soon, after sniffing around, the rabbit suddenly released an excited squeaking sound as if it finally found its destination.
Jumping around, the rabbit began to move forward with fast speed, leading the group toward the back of the mound...
Due to their speed, it only took them a short while to travel toward the back of the mound.
...
This... A cave? How weird...
Leo silently thought as he stared at the big entrance of the cave ( 2.5 meters tall and 3 meters wide) in amazement.
Followed by that, Leo and the group stared at the densely packed stalactites on the ceiling of the cave that were continuously dripping with water droplets, in its surroundings (inside the cave) a thin mist of Qi slightly obstructed their vision.
"How dense."
Compared to the Qi outside, the Qi inside of the cave could be said almost 2-3 times as dense as outside.
"Jake, did you detect something?" Roland asks in a hushed tone as he examines the interior of the cave with concealed excitement.
"I can't detect lifeforce inside, but it's best to increase our guard since there might be beasts inside that are similar to the rabbit."
Jake replied as he again activated his detection skill, only to shake his head in disappointment after not detecting anything.
"I see, then don't separate from me." Roland slightly raised his shield as he reminded the group on his back, before warily following the rabbit inside the cave...
