The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Adventurers also need to eat. Why don't they use practical and cheap torches instead of the extremely expensive and not much more powerful magic crystal searchlights? Are they just wasting money?

Lisha and the others simply bought a floodlight and stuffed it into their backpacks for emergency use.

By the way, I also bought a few small magic crystals, a special metal pocket watch, ten tough and long exploration ropes, a large tent that Merilu could use, and some adventure necessities in this grocery store.

After buying these, they also went to the Adventurer's Guild to notarize the mission.

They were busy until the afternoon, when the four of them returned to the Oak Inn.

After a lively dinner, the four of them did not stay up late, but chose to go to bed early.

After all, we are going to explore the dark cave tomorrow.

a new day.

In the morning, Lisha was the first to get up.

She was full of energy and called her teammates one by one.

Ilsa woke up the fastest.

Then came Merilu.

Finally, it was the dazed Ai Lan.

Wash up, have breakfast, and pack ten meal sets.

Lisha, Ilsa, Merilu, and Alan set out from Baishi Town.

If the Clan Forest is a secret place on the ground, then the Dark Cave is a maze underground.

There are twelve ground entrances to the dark cave that can be found in the Clan Forest. Three of them are close to White Stone Town. The one that Lisha and the other three are going to is the smallest of the three entrances, and it is also the one that adventurers rarely go to.

Compared to the other two entrances, this smallest entrance has the fewest adventurers exploring it, and the map inside it is also incomplete, but it is precisely because of this that it may contain real treasures.

However, Lisha and the other three did not come here for any treasure, but to look for sunstone.

Ai Lan also heard the news from an adventurer, and was not completely sure that there was sunstone here.

The amount of sunstone collected from the underground caves near the White Tower is pitifully small. If it weren't for the proof from the Adventurer's Guild, few adventurers would believe in the existence of sunstone.

Those sunstones that are now collected are not within the reach of Ailan, a hematite-level light mage, so Ailan can only come to the White Tower to look for sunstones by himself.

Chapter 32: Four-man team goes to the dungeon

Ai Lan seemed extremely excited along the way, and even his steps became much lighter.

However, after walking for most of the day, Ai Lan became much more listless.

Because the journey is really tiring.

Especially since they had to get into the dark cave before the sun set, the team sped up.

Lisha and Merilu are fine, as they both have excellent physical strength, but Ilsa and Alan are not.

One of them is only at the official level and is a ranger, while the other is an elven mage with average stamina.

So when they arrived at the entrance of the dark cave, Lisha simply asked everyone to rest on the spot.

After a good rest, Lisha led the three people into the dark cave.

The dark cave is worthy of the word dark, it is really dark inside.

Lisha walked in front, holding a lit torch in one hand and a novice sword in the other.

Ilsa followed behind Lisha, with the bow in her hand ready to shoot at any time.

There was a little distance between Ailan and Ilsa, mainly so as not to affect Ilsa's shooting.

She also held a lighted torch in her hand.

Meililu was at the end of the team.

Normally, a priest should be the one protected in the middle of the team, but Melilu is an exception because she is a giant.

If Merilu were equipped with a set of plate armor and a mace in her hand, others would probably think that Merilu was a heavily armored warrior rather than a so-called priest.

Meililu did not take a torch, because two torches were enough to illuminate the area within about fifteen meters around her. If there were more torches, they would not be able to illuminate a larger area given their position.

The moist moss, the occasional falling water drops, the strange stalactites, the slightly fluorescent fungi, the rustling insects, these ecosystems that are completely different from those on the ground fascinated Lisha.

This is probably the fun of adventure, you can always see different scenery.

Perhaps because they had just entered the dark cave not long ago, Lisha and the other three did not encounter any attacks.

Lisha looked around with the torch in hand. Suddenly, she picked up a fluorescent mushroom from the ground and put it in her mouth to taste it. She saw some iron ore on the rock wall and broke off a piece of it and put it in her mouth to chew.

It was the first time that Ai Lan saw such a scene, and she was stunned.

"Lisha, you can't eat these carelessly!"

Ai Lan spoke out to stop him.

“Ahhhhhhhhh??”

Lisha turned around and the sound of chewing iron ore was unusually harsh, making a crunching sound.

Although Merilu had seen Lisha eat slime, slime was different from iron ore.

"Lisha, be careful, it's poisonous."

These exposed iron ores may be contaminated with venom from poisonous insects.

It's probably okay to hold it with your hands, but it's a problem if you put it in your mouth.

"It's okay, it's okay!~~"

Lisha chewed and swallowed the iron ore powder.

"I have an iron stomach! It's totally okay!~"

"Actually, this is related to Lisha's profession. She can strengthen her body by swallowing metal."

Ilsa explained it for Lisha, and also briefly explained the characteristics of the Iron Guardian profession.

"A rare profession? So cool!~"

Ai Lan looked envious.

Although the mage is considered a high-level profession, there are quite a lot of mages. In comparison, rare professions like Lisha's Iron Guardian are naturally strong and rare.

"It's a rare profession..."

Meililu didn't think so. She vaguely felt that she had heard of this profession from somewhere.

Maybe this is a legendary profession.

"In fact, I succeeded in changing my job somehow."

Lisha scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Everyone keep going forward. We'll find a better place to set up camp later."

"Lisha, don't forget what I said."

Yuze reminded Lisha in her mind.

"I remember it!~"

Lisha answered Yuze in her heart.

As we continued forward, the path in the cave gradually became wider.

The road that previously only allowed three people to walk side by side is now wide enough for five people to walk side by side.

However, as they walked, a fork in the road suddenly appeared in front of the four of them.

Yes, the road ahead is divided into three parts, leading to different places.

"Ilsa, take out the map and have a look."

Lisha said to Ilsa without turning her head.

Ilsa pulled the rolled-up map out of her waist bag and opened it.

This map was purchased when they went to the Adventurer's Guild to do a quest fair. It recorded in detail the places that many adventurers had explored before.

"Three forks in the road, three forks in the road....Found it!"

Ilsa stared at the map for a moment.

"Lisha, go to the far left."

Ilsa folded up the map and pointed to the leftmost intersection.

"it is good."

Lisha didn't ask why, she trusted Ilsa's judgment.

So the four of them entered the leftmost fork.

After walking for quite a long distance, the four people's view suddenly opened up.

"Wow!"

Lisha raised the torch and looked at the cave ceiling which was more than ten meters high, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Because it is covered with stalactites, so densely packed, and there are even many stalactites connecting the top of the cave with the ground.

It is very spacious here and looks like a huge stone forest.

Ilsa faintly heard the sound of flowing water in the distance, which should be an underground river.

"How about we just camp here?"

Lisha pointed to a relatively flat area and asked everyone.

“This place is nice.”

Meililu nodded.

"I'll go take a look around."

Ilsa took Alan's torch and explored the surroundings to make sure there were any monster nests nearby that they didn't know about.

If there really is a monster's lair, it depends on whether we can completely destroy it. If we can, we can continue to camp here. If we cannot destroy it or simply cannot defeat it, then we can only leave here.

"I'm here to help."

Ailan said as she took the tent from Lisha and set it up.

There is no adventurer who doesn't know how to set up a tent, even Ailan, who has just become an adventurer, is no exception.

"I'll light a bonfire."

As Meililu spoke, she took out the stones, firewood, fire starters and flints that she had prepared in advance.

She first piled the stones into a circle, then placed the firewood in the circle, and finally used a flint to light the fire and then placed the firewood on top.

After a while, a bright fire started.

These firewoods are made of the same material as the torches, namely a special kind of pine wood. When burned, they not only produce little smoke but also emit a faint pine aroma.

However, if it weren't for this expedition to the Dark Cave, Lisha's team probably wouldn't have bought this kind of thing. After all, when they were on the ground, wasn't there wood everywhere?

Lixia and Ailan quickly set up all the tents.

When Ilsa came back, Lisha had already started cooking.

"How about it?"

Lisha asked Ilsa while stirring the food in the pot with a spoon.

"There are no monster nests around. I didn't even find any traces of monsters."

Ilsa shook her head and sat down by the fire.

It looks safe here.

Chapter 33: Why is there another choice among three?

"No monsters? What about small animals or bugs?"

Lisha looked up and asked.
