The dark and dense branches and leaves, along with the towering trees, blocked all the light, making the forest dark and gloomy, with a kind of eerie feeling.

Sometimes some low-level monsters would pop out, but most of them were killed by the brothers.

The boy lowered his head, looking at the road ahead, not caring about other situations, especially hunting monsters.

"Are we really going?"

A voice came from the boy's side. It was weak and small, not at all like the high-spirited one just now. Instead, it sounded cowardly and wanted to quit.

"Pa~" A crisp slapping sound came from the end of the team, and the person who originally spoke was slapped by another person.

"Are you trying to demoralize the troops? The eldest brother is the most capable person among us. Are you saying that he is incompetent?"

After being beaten, the man covered his face and was about to retort when he heard the man standing in front of him turn around and look at him with a cold gaze.

"I... Senior Brother, that's not what I meant. I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me..."

The person who was slapped kept knocking his head on the ground, begging for forgiveness, while the one who slapped him glared at him with disdain, ran to the leader and stood beside him.

Not long after, the man who had been looking at him coldly snorted softly, turned around, and slammed the tree with his palm, and the tree fell to the ground.

"If there is a next time, I will be like this tree. Now...get out of here"

With a loud 'bang', the tree fell down completely, and the person kneeling on the ground collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, without saying a word for a long time.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed the man and walked deeper into the cave. The young man who had passed by the man smiled faintly.

Soon, the group came to a place that looked like a deep well. This place led directly underground. It was pitch black inside, and black smoke was coming out from time to time.

The one who led them was even more excited, with a smile on his face.

"Brother, this is the so-called cave... There must be top-grade magical beasts in it."

As he said this, he excitedly stretched his head and looked down, but unfortunately, he encountered a wave of black air gushing up, and the black air rushed straight towards his face.

At that moment, the person who had been flattering him just now rolled on the ground in pain, covering his eyes and shouting

The others looked at each other in bewilderment, while the leader winked at the person next to him. The man took out a knife from his waist and stabbed it straight into the heart of the person on the ground. Not long after, the person on the ground was completely motionless.

The surroundings were quiet, without a sound. Everyone looked at each other with a hint of fear in their eyes. No one was willing to step forward.

After a long time, seeing that no one was willing to come forward, the man took a few steps forward, clapped his hands, put his hands in front of his nose, and said to everyone:

"Since we have come here, there is no reason to return empty-handed. Moreover, if there is a major discovery down there, it would be a good idea for everyone to work together. By then, wouldn't you all want the reputation of the outer disciples for eradicating the demon cave? And there is also the final reward..."

The person standing in front of the crowd and speaking saw hesitation on everyone's face, and immediately encouraged them more vigorously. Finally, after he said that the reward should be divided equally, everyone agreed to go together.

But after what happened just now, everyone else was afraid, and no one dared to be the first to go down. But now there is indeed a lack of people who dare to take the lead.

Seeing that everyone was silent and there was not much time left, the man pointed at the murderer.

The man also received his hint and walked towards the young man with steady steps.

The young man showed no fear at all, with a faint smile on his face, as if he had expected it.

Until he was dragged to the wellhead, the leader smiled and said

"Since it was your suggestion, I will naturally let you try it first, as your compensation to him."

He glanced at the body lying on the ground, then winked at the man, signaling him to throw the boy down.

The man obviously saw it, nodded at him, and threw the boy down with a flick of his hand...

The dark well was sticky and greasy, and the smell had changed from the clear air to a horrible fishy smell.

The boy was thrown in, and his body kept falling from a high altitude until a 'bang' was heard, which marked the bottom.

The boy groped in the dark, stood up, rubbed his sore buttocks, and fumbled around with his other hand.

“It’s so dark here, I can’t see anything.”

"Oh, then you should be able to light a fire with your fingertips, it seems like..."

"No.....With my ability, it's not enough for now..."

The boy's soft voice is just like his appearance, gentle and kind, but his voice is full of frustration.

“Well, they don’t teach you.”

"Who will teach me...I am just an abandoned little bastard"

The young man spoke in a low voice, seeming a little helpless and more puzzled. At least now he didn't understand why the person in his memory didn't come back to see him, but instead handed him over to such a place.

"Maybe..."

The voice in his mind was interrupted by a voice from afar, and after hearing this voice, the boy turned around and walked forward.

The boy walked and walked, and he didn't know how many "crackling" sounds he heard along the way. Finally, after passing through a door, he came to a very wide place, where he could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.

The boy groped forward, but unexpectedly he saw a vague back figure, and this back figure was indistinct. Just as he was about to move forward, he saw the original shadow disappeared in an instant, and there was a "click" sound from under his feet.

The next second, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground, and the boy fell down unconsciously again, but this time there was a fishy smell and a huge hissing sound from below.

The boy suddenly felt something was wrong, and quickly stretched out his legs to stop himself from falling. He then took out a sharp blade from his calf. Just as he was thinking about how to use it, a tongue covered with barbs suddenly stretched out, trying to wrap around the boy.

The boy was not someone to be trifled with. He kept chopping at the tongue that was curled up. Once he accidentally scratched it, causing the creature to scream continuously.

But there is always a difference between humans and monsters, and the biggest difference is endurance.

The monster below continued to stick out its tongue without panicking, while the boy in the wall ran out of strength and accidentally slipped down.

Just when he thought he was going to die, a purple light flashed on his forehead, and the man who was about to fall disappeared in an instant. Only a long tongue remained in the empty mountain, still hooking upwards...
