Chapter 329: The Terrifying Light
Chapter 329: The Terrifying Light
After falling into the suddenly collapsed cave, Li Qian quickly retrieved a flashlight from his spatial necklace and began to examine his surroundings.
Thanks to the dazzling technology of the Beast Tamer World, even an ordinary flashlight, when turned on, shone like a mini sun, illuminating the entire bottom of the cave.
Li Qian surveyed his surroundings and frowned. He immediately dimmed the flashlight a little.
In this unfamiliar cave bottom, carrying such an eye-catching light source would undoubtedly expose his position in no time.
It was like a lightbulb, which might guide hidden enemies in the darkness, and who knew what unpredictable dangers it could attract.
Without much hesitation, Li Qian instinctively dimmed the flashlight.
The space at the bottom of the cave wasn't very large, and with this beam of light, it was already sufficient for his needs.
After a quick scan, Li Qian soon noticed something unusual.
On one of the cave walls, there was a passageway that sloped downward.
Li Qian estimated the diameter of the passageway to be around six meters. From this, he could deduce that this passageway was likely the escape route the rock giant had used.
The existence of this passageway meant that... as long as he ventured deeper, he would surely discover something.
But Li Qian paused, as the presence of this passageway also implied... if he continued further, he might encounter unforeseen dangers.
Li Qian stood still, lost in thought.
He didn't ponder for long before making a decision.
Go in!
He had to take a look inside! This decision was driven by curiosity and an instinctive feeling that there might be an opportunity within.
Without wasting time, Li Qian immediately acted, walking towards the passageway without hesitation.
Since he had already reached the bottom of the cave and discovered a clue, he couldn't just ignore it. No matter what, he had to investigate.
Driven by curiosity, Li Qian bent down and entered the passageway, moving step by step without haste.
The passageway was about six meters in diameter, easily accommodating Li Qian. However, for Seven Sons with his size, it would be quite a challenge to pass through, and the main issue was the noise it would create, which would hinder Li Qian's subsequent actions unless Seven Sons could master the advanced 'Dragon Transformation' skill to change his size at will.
Therefore, with no other choice, Li Qian had to recall Seven Sons into his beast space.
This way, he lost a powerful guarantee of safety and needed to be even more cautious.
So, after entering the passageway, Li Qian proceeded with extra caution, taking each step only after confirming the previous one was secure.
Gradually, as he ventured deeper, about a hundred meters ahead, a faint light appeared.
This light wasn't very dazzling.
Instead, it gave off a gentle and soothing feeling.
Upon seeing the light, Li Qian instinctively turned off his flashlight.
With the light from ahead, he could clearly see the passageway before him, confirming it was safe.
To increase his stealth, Li Qian chose to be even more cautious.
"There's definitely a hidden secret ahead that no one knows about..." As he drew closer, Li Qian's curiosity intensified.
While being cautious, he was also on guard.
A blasting pistol had somehow appeared in his palm, and he gripped it tightly.
At the same time, his gaze frequently checked the energy detection watch on his wrist.
The watch was set to silent mode.
Once it detected energy fluctuations, it would only display a notification on the watch face without vibrating or making any sounds.
As Li Qian carefully moved forward, suddenly, a row of bright red notification appeared on the energy detection watch.
Then, countless light dots emerged.
The dots displayed various colors.
Upon seeing these dots, Li Qian felt his entire body tense up.
He almost couldn't hold back from cursing out loud.
What kind of terrible luck was this?
Just coming to the Xiwusu Desert for training, and he encounters such a perilous situation.
Each light dot on the energy detection watch represented an extraordinary being.
There were at least two or three hundred dots on the watch face.
This meant that ahead, at the end of the passage, there were hundreds of extraordinary beings.
But this wasn't even the worst-case scenario.
What was even more terrifying was that among these countless dots, there were three dark red dots.
The dark red dots represented Imperial-tier companion beasts!
In other words, ahead, at the end of the passage, there were three Imperial-tier extraordinary beings.
Looking at the information displayed on the energy detection watch, Li Qian fell into deep thought once again.
What should he do?
Continuing forward was no longer just dangerous.
It was like flirting with death.
But having come this far, he couldn't bear to retreat.
After a moment of silence, he slowly moved forward.
Besides curiosity, Li Qian had also carefully analyzed the situation.
This place was about two kilometers deep from the ground, which seemed far, but for Imperial-tier extraordinary beings, it was nothing.
During the previous battle, the commotion was significant, and logically, with the acute perception of Imperial-tier extraordinary beings, they should have noticed.
However, during the fight, these three Imperial-tier extraordinary beings didn't make any movements.
There were only two possibilities for this situation.
First, these three Imperial-tier extraordinary beings had a problem and couldn't leave this subterranean space.
But in Li Qian's opinion, this possibility was low.
Second, these three Imperial-tier extraordinary beings, including the two or three hundred other extraordinary beings, didn't want to leave this subterranean space.
This possibility seemed much higher.
Since they didn't want to leave, if he approached cautiously and tried not to make any noise, he shouldn't attract their attention.
By doing so, the danger of checking the situation ahead would be greatly reduced.
With this thought, his footsteps became more determined.
Although he moved slowly, the passage wasn't long, so it didn't take long for Li Qian to reach the end.
He crouched down, crawled forward, and when he reached the end of the passage, he cautiously poked out half of his head...
