Chapter 43: Cave Portal ×, Rose Key Fragments √ [Please read]

Without too many pleasantries, Chen Xuan was ready to seize the time and enter the cave.

According to the previous exploration agreement, it is unlikely that new adventurers will arrive.

But this is a monster den after all, and who knows what unknown changes will happen.

To be on the safe side, it is better to complete the investigation as soon as possible.

His energy level is still good, and he can at least activate [Time Stop] several times.

It's more than enough as a life-saving measure.

Watching Ophelia start to search for the wild boar's relics, Chen Xuan patted Rebecca on the shoulder.

"Let's go into the cave!"

Rebecca has experience in exploring monster caves, so having her along makes you feel more at ease.

The master and servant got ready, and Kitten Girl took the lead and walked into the cave one after another.

Not far away, Ophelia gritted her teeth silently, unwilling to accept it, but she did not dare to disobey her.

She knew the taste of a contract very well, and now there was no turning back.

Like Rebecca at the time, she couldn't figure out how Chen Xuan modified the contract!

…

The headlights emit a bright beam of light to illuminate the front.

The underground cave is filled with a fishy stench.

Rebecca moved forward cautiously, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

You must know that the terrain in the cave is very strange, and there may be poisonous gas and traps.

The longer the burrow is, the larger the area it covers.

There are rock passages extending in all directions, and no one knows where they can lead.

Fortunately, the Newborn Cave does not have this problem. It has not yet been fully extended. There is currently only one walkway extending downwards.

Chen Xuan and Little Cat Girl walked forward for about three or four minutes before arriving at the end of the underground cave.

There he saw two magic pillars carved with unknown symbols.

Each root has a ring thickness and stands in the stone chamber.

Grooves were cut out in the middle of the magic pillar, and a primary magic seed was embedded in each!

In addition, there is an oval gray portal between the two magic pillars.

It should be the so-called cave teleportation channel.

It is said that monsters emerge from these passages.

Of course, this kind of access is limited, depending on the size of the cave.

It can be imagined that the higher the level of the crypt, the greater the transmission volume, and the corresponding level of the energy-supplying demon species will be higher.

Looking at the endlessly rotating ripples in the center of the portal, Chen Xuan suddenly felt something in his heart.

He waved his hand to stop Rebecca from trying to pick the demon seed, and instead slowly approached the portal.

"Owner…"

"We can't reach the portal!"

Kitty Girl couldn't help but remind her.

Chen Xuan had already narrowed his eyes and activated the [Insight] effect.

Several lines of golden subtitles emerged.

[A primary portal leading to the outside of Naroa, containing fragments of the Rose Key]

…

"Key of the Rose!"

He was keenly aware of the key words.

You must know that the light and shadow image of his [cross-border] golden finger is a key decorated with roses!

All clues point to one point!

That is, there is some unknown connection between the underground portal and his golden finger!

Thinking of this, his steps couldn't help but become a little eager.

After approaching, he raised his arm and touched the portal, wanting to explore the mystery inside.

As soon as he touched it, the rose key mark appeared on his forehead.

Short messages composed of quirky fonts appear in thoughts.

[When you come into contact with the fragments of the Rose Key, you can fuse them]

【whether】

…

Chen Xuan had no reason to refuse and decisively chose fusion!

In an instant, the portal burst into gray and black light, gathering towards the palm of his hand like silk pulled by a whirlpool.

Immediately, the mark of the Rose Key on his forehead became more eye-catching!

The fusion process only lasted a few seconds, and the kitty girl standing next to it was already stunned.

"No more!"

"The portal to the catacombs has disappeared!"

There was an incredible expression on her face, her pink mouth opened slightly, and she almost forgot to breathe.

The fusion process only lasted a few seconds.

When the imprint disappears, new information floods into the mind.

The two magic pillars in the cave instantly shattered.

"Crack..."

Along with the crisp sound, cracks spread one after another.

The portal has completely disappeared.

The cave shook as the magic pillar collapsed.

"Take the demon seed!"

Chen Xuan shouted loudly and activated the storage compartment within the storage distance to store one of the demon seeds.

The kitten girl Rebecca picked another one and shouted anxiously.

"Master, run away quickly, the cave is about to collapse!"

Faced with her exclamation, Chen Xuan ignored her and instead took a step forward to hold her hand.

Then he closed his eyes!

The cave was shaking, and Rebecca hunched her shoulders and showed a desperate expression.

Immediately afterwards, she only felt a blur in front of her eyes, and when her vision recovered, she had returned to the ground.

Ophelia was running wildly carrying several spider web monster arthropods and the pincer-shaped mouthparts of the demon wasp.

The location where Chen Xuan and Rebecca appeared was right on the edge.

I watched with my own eyes as the monster's cave in the open space in the forest swayed and collapsed.

Eventually, the entire open land sank and turned into a pit that was not too deep.

Rebecca was in shock, her chest heaving violently.

Ophelia, who had fallen into the pit, got up hastily and crawled to Chen Xuan's side. She raised her head and stared at him with blank eyes, looking a little dull.

"The catacombs were destroyed?"

"Why so fast!"

"Normally speaking, even if the demon seed is taken away, the tunnel transmission channel will not collapse immediately..."

She murmured in surprise, becoming more and more confused about Chen Xuan.

"I swallowed it..."

Chen Xuan said in a very small voice, not like an answer, but more like talking to himself.
