The Abyss World, the Kemono Girl Encyclopedia Project!

Zhuohua asked Baiguo several questions in a row. As expected of a woman who had seen the world, her questioning skills were many levels higher than Wang Yan's.

From Baiguo's words, we can learn that the fall of Shushu City is just the beginning. This is a war launched by the Iron Stone Kingdom and an unknown force. To survive, one must flee to a distant land. Baiguo is definitely not an isolated case of rats fleeing for their lives.

In the end, Bai Guo was just a woman who had fled from disaster. It would probably be difficult to get any more information out of her. Zhuo Hua sighed softly and ended the conversation.

"Thank you, Madam Baiguo. Thank you so much for your answer. It's getting late, and we need to get back before dark. If you encounter any difficulties, just keep walking east along the cliff, and you'll find our home. Feel free to come and ask for help."

After leaving behind a single sentence, Zhuohua had nothing more to ask. She bid him farewell, and the two embarked on their journey home.

Having a neighbor not far from their residence is a troublesome thing, but fortunately, after Zhuohua confirmed that they were indeed a family of mice who couldn't be simpler, they were left to their own devices.

Another important piece of information obtained from this trip is that a war has broken out. Although the little beast girls' home is very remote, they should be as careful as possible when going out in the future, just to be on the safe side, in case they encounter refugees fleeing the war.

On their way back, a light rain began to fall. At first, they tried to quicken their pace, but the rain grew heavier and heavier, threatening to turn into a downpour. With no other option, they had to find a cave to take shelter in.

"Look ahead! There's a cave entrance on that cliff face over there, let's go take a look!"

With Wang Yan's pointing, Zhuo Hua also saw a cave on the cliff not far away. However, the cave was located at a high point, about two meters above the cliff. The two of them would need to climb a little to get in. But there was no better way at the moment, as this was the only cave nearby, so they had to make do.

First, Zhuohua was lifted inside, and then Wang Yan climbed in afterward.

Upon entering the cave, Wang Yan immediately began searching for any flammable materials. He and Zhuo Hua were soaked to the bone and urgently needed to start a fire to dry themselves off.

Unfortunately, the cave was bare and empty, and because of its high elevation, wild animals could not enter. Apart from some rubble, there was nothing else inside.

A gust of cold wind blew by, making Wang Yan shiver. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he spoke up:

"Why is there wind?"

There was wind in the cave, which meant that the space inside the cave was large enough. He and Zhuohua exchanged a glance, and she also understood what Wang Yan meant. The two of them got up and prepared to explore the depths.

Wang Yan had previously acquired night vision as one of the passive skills from the little beast girls, so he wasn't worried about not being able to see the way in the pitch-black cave. He took Zhuo Hua's hand, and the two of them walked together into the depths of the cave.

As the two ventured deeper, for some reason, after Wang Yan turned a few corners, he felt the temperature rise a few degrees. Puzzled, he continued forward. When he turned into the last corner, he clearly saw a bright light reflected on the rock wall at the end of the cave.

"bright!"

Wang Yan's heart trembled, wondering what lay beneath the surface. He exchanged a glance with Zhuo Hua, and saw a hint of apprehension in her eyes. He gestured for her to wait where she was, while he went to check first.

Reaching the end of the cave, Wang Yan pressed his body against the cave wall and then carefully poked his head out. When the scene of the cave appeared before his eyes, he even held his breath for a moment.

It was a natural cave that resembled a paradise on earth, with an interior area of ​​nearly several thousand square meters. In the very center was a clear, emerald-green pool of water. Vines shimmering with fluorescent green light covered the entire rock wall, and glowing berries hung from the ceiling like chandeliers. The entire cave formed a completely separate ecosystem, and under the light of various glowing plants and minerals, the cave was as bright as day.

"Zhuohua... Zhuohua! Come quickly and see!!"

Zhuohua heard Wang Yan's urgent call and was somewhat puzzled, but she still followed him. When the same scene appeared in her pink eyes, even someone as knowledgeable as Zhuohua could not help but be shocked.

"This...this is!"

"It's a large, natural cave!"

This was exactly the place Wang Yan was looking for—a place where he could completely escape attacks from strange beasts. The moment he saw this place, Wang Yan made up his mind: he would move here with his little beast girls!

Just as he was about to hurry out to investigate, Zhuohua reached out and grabbed him first.

"Don't rush, let's do it together."

Wang Yan then realized that he had indeed been reckless. They knew this was a good place, but what about others? In case there were other people inside, it would be good to have two people together for mutual support.

And so, the two of them walked side by side and carefully entered the cave. Fortunately, after a thorough search, apart from some naturally growing plants inside the cave, there were only a few field mice or rabbits, and not a single large wild animal.

"This is really a great place!" Wang Yan said, hands on his hips, looking around the cave. Zhuohua saw through his thoughts and asked, "Would you like to move here?"

Zhuohua was indeed intelligent; she saw through Wang Yan's thoughts at a glance. Wang Yan nodded slightly, but Zhuohua voiced her doubts.

"This place is huge, where should we stay?"

"Well... don't worry about it!"

Wang Yan hummed twice, then with a thought, he spent two points to exchange for two red bricks, which appeared in his hand.

"Use this!"

Zhuohua naturally recognized this kind of thing. She didn't expect that Wang Yan could even conjure up bricks, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Oh my, there's really nothing you can't do!"

Now that the location and building materials are sorted out, the next step is to get the sisters moving as soon as possible, preferably before winter arrives. That way, as long as they stay in this cave, they can safely get through the entire winter even without wearing cotton-padded clothes.

It was getting late, and after all that commotion, the two of them definitely wouldn't be able to go home tonight. Wang Yan cleared out a space to start a fire and warm themselves up. They had been delayed for a while, and now their bodies were freezing from being wrapped in their soaked clothes. They needed to dry off as soon as possible.

"Quickly take off your clothes and dry them in the oven. I brought a blanket. After you take them off and dry your body, come inside."

Zhuohua looked at the flustered Wang Yan, a slight smile playing on her lips, and teased him with interest:

"According to you humans, salamanders should be amphibians, but I'm not afraid of water. Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be...?"

Her gaze continued downwards, and her pink pupils gradually turned into the shape of hearts.

"You want it?"
