Only the passage on the very right remained unexplored of the three left, middle, and right ones.
As for heading to the Hermit Canyon, there was no need to rush.

[The passage is narrow and dark, winding and turning; as you go deeper, there is no other sound save for the footsteps on the limestone,]
[In the absolute quiet, only your footsteps echo, and you slowly start to feel uneasy. ]
Lin Xun is on guard at all times, wary of an unexpected appearance of the 'Underworld Shadow Demon'.
