Chapter 56 Sleeping Betty
The question is, who has discovered the arrival of me and others?
Is it an adventurer? Or is it a powerful creature?
In the second half of the route, there are many powerful monsters living. Ethan has long known that these monsters will even use adventurers as prey to hunt them. Ethan and the others are of course within the hunting range of these monsters.
"Anyway, be careful!"
Several people are very strong, but this does not mean that there is no need to be alert. Ethan actually has no intuitive impression of how strong the monsters in this world can become.
Considering that Clyde and Beckford can freely travel back and forth along this route, these monsters must not be able to truly threaten themselves. What you need to be careful is some weird abilities, which will be embarrassing even if you are not injured.
After walking into the cave with the cool river water for a while, the cave gradually became wider. Ethan condensed a ball of light in his palm, allowing the ball of light to float above everyone's heads as lighting.
Ada put away the lighting equipment he had just taken out again, and Ethan seemed to have no need to use those things.
There was no sound in the dark and humid cave, only the clamor of a few people walking through the water. Ethan kept turning his head and looking around, and found that there was nothing good to see here.
At the same time, he was carefully sensing the situation in the water to avoid something suddenly coming out of the water.
As a result, I found that the water of these rivers was extremely clear, let alone monsters in the water, and I couldn't even see any dirty things. The water was clean and seemed to be able to drink directly without worrying about bad stomachs.
"It seems like there is nothing."
Laura is not only observing, she is also using her druid abilities to sense whether there are any creatures or plants nearby.
As long as there are animals or plants, she can communicate with them and get some information.
As a result, she sensed it for a long time and could sense nothing. There were only stones and water in the cave.
"Do you want to continue?"
"certainly!"
Laura is not afraid. This situation makes her feel even more interesting. She is very much looking forward to a powerful monster living in the depths of the cave, and then showing off her cultivation results well.
After walking for half an hour, a few people finally arrived at a very spacious cave, which was a relatively high ground, so they didn't have to continue soaking in the water.
"What's this?"
There is nothing on the platform except a rectangular object.
"There is no more road. I just checked it. The water flowed out from countless tiny holes. This is already the deepest part of the cave."
After walking around Ada, I found that I could not continue moving forward. Ethan also saw several small holes on the mountain wall flowing out of clear water, and then gathered together and turned into the river they had just waded through.
"Then the secret of everything is here."
There is nothing, there is only one rectangle, and the most problematic thing in this place is it.
According to Ethan's induction, the energy hidden in the water was released by the thing in front of him.
"Is there a magic stone hidden in this rectangular stone?"
Ethan reached out and touched the stone gently, and suddenly realized that it was not a stone at all. It would appear as a stone in his eyes, and it was the "illusion" released by this thing.
As Ethan reached out to touch the hand, the huge stone suddenly twisted, and then as Ethan released a trace of magic to impact the "image", the twisting and shaking of the image became more intense, and eventually dissipated, revealing the true face under the "illusion".
"This is……?"
"It looks like a high-tech facility." Ethan looked at the sci-fi rectangular equipment and kept observing in circles: "The energy used is very similar to the magic stone, but it is a little different."
After looking back and forth, Ethan found a place that was suspected to be a switch and then pressed it lightly.
With Ethan's movements, this sci-fi-filmed facility suddenly roared, and then a white gas was released from the bottom.
Ethan, Ada and Laura immediately retreated and opened a certain distance, but they then found that the smoke was not threatening except for making people feel a little cold.
"This..." Ada looked at the facilities that were slowly opening, and suddenly thought of countless movies she had watched: "Isn't this thing a frozen dormant warehouse or something?"
Ethan also felt this way, especially the lid opened, which looked so much like the dormant cube in the movie.
After the cover of the device was really opened and the situation inside was revealed, Ethan sighed helplessly: "You guessed it, this is indeed a dormant compartment."
He had already felt the breath of life emanating from inside, and the breath showed a clear recovery trend. It seemed that the person lying inside was a living person.
Walking back closer, Ethan found that there was a young girl lying inside, with beautiful blonde hair and white clothes, with some beautiful patterns on it, and some patterns and patterns on her chest and shoulders.
While thinking about what these patterns mean, the girl in the dormant warehouse had opened her eyes. Maybe she had been sleeping for too long and suddenly saw the light that made her feel uncomfortable. She raised her hand to cover it, then blinked and slowed down for a while before opening her eyes again, looking at Ethan who was standing in front of her.
"Is it from the rescue team?" The girl was about to get up, but her arms were weak and weak and she didn't support her body: "Hey, how long have I been dormant? Why did the rescue team's efficiency become so poor?"
Ethan looked up slightly and looked at Ada opposite him, and the girl accidentally revealed some information.
At this time, it seems that he should pretend to be a rescuer and get more information, but Ethan doesn't like this, let alone he is not going to do anything bad.
"You might have made something wrong, I'm not a rescue team."
"Not a rescue team?" The girl lay down for a while, after recovering a little strength, she seemed to be fumbled at her hand. After a while, she took out a syringe, then pulled up her sleeve a little, aimed the syringe at her wrist and pressed it.
After she completed these movements, her originally pale face seemed to have become a little better, and the girl's condition seemed to have improved a lot, and she even recovered her ability to move and finally could sit up.
He gently rubbed his eyes again, as if he had adapted to the light and restored his vision. The girl looked at Ethan with a look of surprise.
"Not the rescue team?"
He looked up and down at Ethan's set of...uh... very casual clothes, and then turned his head to look at Ada and Laura on the other side.
Laura is also wearing a casual T-shirt with cropped pants, and there is nothing to pay attention to except for a strange animal on her head.
Ada's clothes looked like nothing special, but the black combat suit under the red shirt caught the girl's attention: "You are also students who are undergoing the assessment?"
The girl looked at Ada's battle uniform on both sides several times, and then carefully looked at Ada's combat uniform.
"Where is the combat uniform you are wearing produced? Why can't I recognize what brand it is?"
"Our team made it ourselves." Ada solved the problem casually, and it would not make the girl feel something was wrong.
“No wonder.”
The girl gently moved her body, then crawled out of the dormant compartment bit by bit, pressed it down somewhere, and the thick lid opened and opened part of it, containing shoes and other items.
The girl put on her shoes in front of Ethan, then jumped to the ground and jumped gently, but her feet became weak and almost fell down. Thanks to Ethan's squeezing, she didn't let the beautiful little girl fall to the ground in a mess.
"Thanks!"
He thanked me softly, and the girl tidied up her clothes again, and then introduced herself to Ethan.
"I am Betty, a warship pilot scientist at the Imperial Military Academy, and I appreciate your help."
Ethan watched Betty make a possible salute gesture to himself, and he narrowed his eyes gently: "I think you may not have figured out what's going on yet."
Seeing that Ethan did not return the gift in the way she was most familiar with, Betty realized something was wrong. Although she did not distance herself from everyone, she gently turned her body, not letting her back face any of Ethan and the others.
This is a girl with a certain combat literacy. Ethan could still notice that Betty's hand was slowly touching his weapon.
"Don't be nervous, we have no malice."
He gently spread his hands and signaled that he had no weapons on his hands, and illuminated his hands where the other party could see it, which also meant that he had no malice.
This action seemed to be universal in any universe and any civilization. Betty was indeed a little relieved after seeing Ethan's action, but she still looked at everyone with great vigilance.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Ethan had some speculations in vaguely, but he wanted to get more accurate information from the girl.
Betty frowned and looked at Ethan with her sea blue eyes.
"I am a student of the Imperial Military Academy and am undergoing the assessment here...Are you not a student of the academy? This is impossible! It is impossible for outsiders to come in here..."
Without waiting for Ethan's answer, Betty suddenly turned her head and looked at her dormant warehouse. After fiddling with it, a holographic image appeared on the warehouse cover, showing a string of data.
