Lu Yuan shouldered his backpack and slowly walked into a darker, deeper cave.
From Old Cat's perspective, Lu Yuan inexplicably entered the underground...
Its Cat's Eye Stone, flickering with green light, created an inexplicable yet real scene.

It seemed to happen in just an instant; they arrived at the second underground level.
This place was even darker, filled with a gray, thick fog, and permeated by a strange fishy smell.
The leather boots stepped on the damp stones, the "thud thud thud" of footsteps echoed between the narrow rock walls, forming a strange echo.
If one looked directly with the naked eye, the sight of those widespread crimson eyes, secretly peering at oneself, was utterly terrifying. Those of weaker minds could go completely mad within seconds.

"It's useless now. They've taken root... Even if forcibly removed, they would continue to grow back."
