Chapter 402: Heading to the Cave

Among these five items, after scanning them with the system, Qin Feng discovered...

The diary, the safety charm, and the pearl hairpin had nothing special about them.

Moreover, the system gave no special prompts.

So Qin Feng didn't take these three items to heart.

As for the jade pendant and the princess's final letter.

The jade pendant was a token, specifically a token to mobilize the guard army, so it was very important.

And the princess's final letter was actually sealed; none of the three of them could open it.

After putting all these items away, Qin Feng suggested continuing forward.

After all, although the figure in the black robe and Lin An didn't know, Qin Feng knew.

There was nothing left here worth their attention.

Of course, if he said just that, the figure in the black robe, who hadn't found anything, would likely not be satisfied.

He would probably want to continue searching here until he found something.

Therefore, Qin Feng directly handed the pearl hairpin, the diary, and the safety charm—which he had detected via system scan as having no special use—to the figure in the black robe.

He let him take them back to study.

Having obtained some spoils, the figure in the black robe would likely not be obsessed with searching for others.

And for Qin Feng, although these items might be useless.

For the figure in the black robe, that was not necessarily the case.

After all, regarding these three items, regardless of whether they had any special use themselves.

The material of the pearl hairpin and the safety charm alone could already provide them with great benefits.

Moreover, the figure in the black robe was definitely not a lone wolf.

Behind him must be a very large family or faction.

Such a family or faction, upon obtaining items with such magical materials, would surely gain a lot from them.

Through Qin Feng's efforts, the three of them finally continued, following Qin Feng's intentional or unintentional guidance, toward the front indicated by the map.

And the front indicated by the map was a pitch-black cave.

And this cave was the very end of this dungeon map.

Outside the cave, it was pitch black, and the boundary lines could no longer be seen.

So if the Sunset relics and the princess's corpse were anywhere, they could only be inside the cave.

Furthermore, not only the Sunset relics, but Xiao Fang's husband should also be inside the cave.

Because inside the cave, there was a pile of red light spots, one blue light spot, and five orange light spots.

Based on Qin Feng's many years of gaming experience.

Green light spots usually represent the player themselves, blue light spots are generally teammates.

And red light spots are enemies.

As for the orange light spots, they were very likely the target items of their trip, the Sunset relics.

Of course, one could also call them entry passes.

With Qin Feng's guidance, both overt and covert,

they took almost no detours.

They walked out of this red forest.

Standing before the pitch-black cave,

a full day had passed by now,

and the bright red sunset in this forest remained in the same state, with no sign of time passing.

If not for Qin Feng having the system panel, it would have been hard for him to judge the accurate time.

As for the figure in the black robe and Lin An, Qin Feng learned from his inquiry to the figure in the black robe.

They could only roughly estimate that about a day had passed.

But they did not know the exact time.

Moreover, they did not carry convenient timekeeping tools.

Although he didn't know if there were accurate timekeeping tools in this real world,

at least the Mobis Kingdom should not have timekeeping tools like watches.

Otherwise, given the status of this figure in the black robe, Qin Feng guessed he should have been able to possess one, or at least know of them.

Regardless of what time it was now, it didn't affect them stopping in front of the dark cave before them.

Because the cave before them was truly so dark that nothing could be seen.

It was no exaggeration to say that one couldn't see one's own fingers.

Therefore, they did not rashly enter this cave.

Especially Qin Feng, because he saw the red light spots constantly moving around in the cave on the system map.

This made Qin Feng inherently very vigilant about this cave.

"How about I throw a few night-luminescent pearls inside to light it up?"

As he spoke, the figure in the black robe took out night-luminescent pearls, wanting to throw them inside.

After all, light is something humans must have; without light, humans would truly go crazy.

And danger is usually hidden in the darkness.

"Wait a moment."

However, Qin Feng stopped the figure in the black robe's action.

Although throwing in night-luminescent pearls could indeed see a part of the scene inside, the pearls themselves were not flashlights.

While they could illuminate a certain Spell Range, they weren't that bright.

The form of the enemies inside the cave was still unknown.

If they were large, they could be seen, but if they were small.

For example, ants, mosquitoes, bees, and the like.

With this level of light, Qin Feng and the others wouldn't be able to see clearly.

Even if their eyesight was much stronger than ordinary people's now.

In a very dim environment, it was still very difficult to see very small things clearly.

Don't think that these kinds of monster species don't exist; what is there not in this world?

"Do you have another way?"

Both Lin An and the figure in the black robe trusted Qin Feng very much.

Seeing Qin Feng stop the figure in the black robe's action, they knew Qin Feng must have thought of some method.

"I just have an idea; whether it can succeed, we still have to try it first."

As Qin Feng spoke, he walked toward a rabbit that was gnawing on grass nearby.

This rabbit was entirely fire-red, and its size was about the same as an ordinary rabbit.

However, a rabbit that could survive in such a high-temperature place should also have a very high body temperature itself.

Otherwise, it would have long since turned to ash here; how could it still be hopping around eating grass?

The figure in the black robe and Lin An were both smart people.

As soon as they saw Qin Feng's action,

they immediately guessed what Qin Feng's so-called idea was.

It must be said, this method was still quite clever.

Adapting to local conditions and using what was at hand.

Sure enough, Qin Feng's adaptability was still very strong.

Walking to the cave entrance, Qin Feng directly threw the rabbit into the cave.

Along with the rabbit, he also threw in the night-luminescent pearl he had just taken from the figure in the black robe, following the rabbit into the cave.

As the night-luminescent pearl flew close to the rabbit,

they clearly saw a group of pitch-black flying creatures suddenly pounce toward the light source and the rabbit's location.

In a short while, they had finished dismembering the entire rabbit.

And these black creatures were bats living in this cave.
