Chapter 2248 Shy
The Destroyers followed Kelan and formed a circle, keeping us tightly in the middle.
However, at this moment, the originally flat bluestone ground suddenly cracked with a finger-wide gap.
When I saw the crack, my heart tightened, and a sense of ominousness came over my heart. I immediately shouted: "Everyone, get out of where you are, quickly!"
The Destroyers obeyed the order and all took a step forward, leaving enough space for Kailan and I to stand side by side. I quickly pulled Kailan and took a big step forward.
As soon as he stood firm here, the cracks behind him gradually spread to both sides. With a soft clicking sound, a deep black hole with a radius of one meter appeared in front of him.
Is this a secret passage?
I frowned and approached the entrance of the cave. Behind me, the Expeller followed step by step, ready to sacrifice himself at any time to protect me.
After peeking into the hole for a few times, I turned my face and stretched out my hand: "Glow stick."
The expulsioner quickly took out the light stick from the bag and offered it with both hands.
After folding it twice to maximize the effectiveness of the light stick, I threw it away.
The entrance to the cave is a staircase that goes straight down. It seems a bit steep, but as long as you pay a little attention, there is no danger.
The glow stick finally stopped on a certain step, about a hundred meters away from the entrance of the cave.
"What a deep staircase," Kailan said with palpitations.
"It's quite deep." I nodded.
"Do you want to go down?" she hesitated.
I blinked and smiled, "What do you think?"
"But...what if there's a trap down there?"
"Do you think someone would bother digging such a deep flight of stairs just to create a trap?"
Kailan curled her lips, even she herself didn't believe this.
Just when I finished cleaning up and was about to go down to the cave with Kailan, the expulsioner looked at the entrance of the cave and refused to let us go down.
To be precise, I was not allowed to go down.
"My lord, this cave is very deep, and I don't know if there will be any danger in it. Please think twice."
I waved my hand and signaled the expulsors blocking the road to get out of the way, and at the same time comforted me: "This island is the research institute of the Sky Clan people. This girl -"
I pointed at Kailan: "You also know that she is a descendant of the Celestial Clan. Think about it, which ancestor would harm his own descendants?"
The expulsors were obviously confused by my words. They kept muttering: "Ancestors, descendants, ancestors, descendants."
After coughing heavily, I shouted loudly: "All deportees obey the order!"
The expulsors stood in two lines and said solemnly: "We obey orders!"
"After I enter the cave, everyone spreads out and moves freely. The activity area is limited to this ruined town. Do you hear me clearly?"
"I will obey my Lord's orders!"
Nodding with satisfaction, I took Kailan and the magic stone lamp and carefully descended the stairs.
Some people may ask, why didn't I let the expulsors explore the road first, but instead had to take risks myself?
The reason for this is simple - the Destroyer is too big, and after entering the hole, his movement will be restricted, and he may very well end up in a situation where he cannot help, but instead becomes a hindrance.
Instead of doing this, Kailan and I should practice our own actions and take risks. Once we encounter danger, our chances of escape will be much higher.
To be honest, if it weren't for Kailan, even if I was in danger, my chance of escaping unharmed would not be lower than 95%.
After all, I have been alone all year round, killing monsters, digging tombs, and robbing tombs. I have few opponents in terms of reflexes and adaptability.
To put it bluntly, even if the cave entrance collapses, as long as I still have enough oxygen and some physical strength to survive for a period of time, I can dig out a survival tunnel with my bare hands.
Even if there is insufficient oxygen, as long as I still have the strength to take off my left hand guard, I still have a chance to escape.
However, with the addition of Kailan, this road to survival instantly dropped by dozens of percentage points, but it still remained above 50%.
I didn't dare to tell Kailan this data, for fear that if she heard it, she wouldn't go into the cave with me.
Ping An ignored the long steps and finally came to the place where the fluorescent stick stopped. He picked up the stick and threw it out again. The fluorescent stick rolled deeper into the steps.
After bumping and bumping all the way, I finally reached the lowest point and hit a stone wall.
"It's the end," I said to Kellan.
She said 'hmm', continued to tug on my sleeve, and walked down cautiously.
Only then did I realize that the shoes she was wearing were women's leather shoes with thick soles and slightly hard. Walking up stairs, especially such steep steps, is particularly fatal. If you are not careful, you will fall down.
No wonder she grabbed my cuffs with all her strength from the moment she came in. It turned out to be because she was afraid that her feet would slip and fall.
Really, even though she knew she was going on an adventure, she still wore leather shoes. A woman’s persistence in beauty is simply beyond life.
Sighing, I stretched out my arms and hugged Kailan's waist tightly. The latter warned, his breathing was a little heavy, but fortunately he didn't struggle.
When I finished the last step of the stairs, I breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as I let go, Kailan collapsed on the ground like mud. I was so frightened that I stretched out my hand again to help her up.
I was very puzzled as to why Kailan reacted like this. Suddenly I thought of my special constitution that is immune to poison, and I was horrified: Could it be that there is poisonous gas hidden in this deep cave?
Thinking of this, I looked at Kailan and saw that her eyes were watery, her face was red, and her expression was completely different from other times.
I was shocked and asked quickly: "Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Kailan shook his head, leaned against the wall, caressed his chest, and kept taking deep breaths. After a few minutes, his flushed face gradually faded away, and his eyes gradually calmed down.
"What's wrong with you?" I was very puzzled. Her state didn't look like she was poisoned at all!
"Hmm, it's nothing," Kailan said nonchalantly, "I was just a little excited just now."
A chuckle resounded in my mind, and Odachi said: "I'm afraid this girl has rarely had contact with men before."
"Huh?" I was even more confused: "What do you mean?"
"You don't even understand this? Don't tell me that you have a group of fiancées outside. It's embarrassing."
Odachi's tone was obviously contemptuous, and I was so puzzled: "What do you mean by this? What does it have to do with how many fiancées I have?"
"Of course it does matter, it does matter a lot!" Odachi emphasized: "Have you never met a girl who had the same reaction as this girl before?"
"Listening to what you said, it seems that there really are some. Phoenix, Barbara, Cagalli. All my fiancées seem to have had such a reaction."
"That's right!" Odachi chuckled and said: "This kind of reaction is called shyness. Generally speaking, only girls who have very little contact with men will behave like that when they have skin-to-skin contact with men. Reaction, now do you understand what I mean?”
