Game Universe: Awakening and Enhancing Everything at the Start

Chapter 91 Entering the Cave

"...This is what the surface world is like. According to those experts, after proton testing and observations of spacetime cycles, the conclusion is that the original environment of this area was extremely harsh, which is why all life had to hide underground..."

"...This civilization called Kamo is quite remarkable. Based on the initial relics unearthed, it was initially thought to be a primitive civilization. However, as the excavation progressed, more and more evidence suggested that the Kamo civilization might also be related to some evil gods..."

"..."

Huang Hong followed behind the group, listening to the local professional guide's eloquent explanations, and gained a better understanding of the Kamo Caves. Of course, it was hard to tell whether this understanding was true or false.

Because the entrances to the underground caves in this area frequently change, even those with a map often find it difficult to find the right path when they come here to dig for treasure or go on adventures.

Therefore, a special profession emerged in this area... the cave guide.

Huang Hong didn't even need to go deep; he was found by the cave guide at the edge of the area and joined the team after paying a few credits.

Normally, a cave guide would bring five or six people with him when he went to the cave. Huang Hong was not the last to join the team. There were already two people in the team when he arrived. Then two more joined, and with the cave guide, a total of six people were formed to start the journey.

Huang Hong discreetly observed the others. The two people in front of him were a man and a woman, who seemed to be a half-orc brother and sister, because they were intimate, their faces were somewhat similar, and they also had some orc characteristics.

The two who joined later were a middle-aged man dressed as an ordinary adventurer, who seemed to have an extremely outgoing personality. He greeted the others very familiarly and then started chatting with the cave guide. The other was a young man with a sinister face who exuded a cold aura and gave off a feeling of keeping people at a distance.

We were just strangers who met by chance, so we weren't close to each other and didn't even introduce ourselves.

After winding and turning for half a day, we arrived at a small, circular valley. The cave guide pushed aside a huge rock, revealing a cave in the mountain wall.

The cave guide took out a torch, lit it, and then said to the group, "From now on, follow me closely. If you get lost because you take the wrong turn, don't blame me."

After entering the cave, there is a large slope, but after walking for a short while, the road becomes rugged and strange, with a dazzling array of cave entrances, some of which even appear in completely unexpected places.

The cave guide had traversed this route countless times, so he knew it very well and continued forward without the slightest hesitation.

Several hours later, when they emerged from a narrow cavern, a breathtaking view unfolded before them. They were no longer in a cave, but in an underground world.

The guide to the underground cave smiled and said, "The underground area in this region is much larger than the surface area. We are currently in the third level of the cave. According to the information I have received, it seems that someone has already explored to the eleventh level. As for whether there are deeper levels, we do not know."

"Since you have all come here, you must have your own purposes. I won't say much more, but I would like to simply remind you that if you are here just for adventure and treasure hunting, it is best not to go too deep, because the further you go, the greater the danger."

"Alright, one last piece of advice: I know some of our guests have exceptional memories and may have already memorized the route we took, but I advise you not to use it rashly."

"I return here every now and then. If you wish to return, please wait for me here, and I will take you out. That's all I have to say."

After listening to the cave guide's words, none of them said anything.

The orc brother and sister left together, while the sinister young man ignored them and chose a direction to leave on his own.

The generous uncle looked left and right, finally fixing his gaze on Huang Hong. He walked over with a smile and said, "Young brother, it's fate that we've met. Why don't we team up and explore this underground world together? It'll be good for you two to look after each other."

Hearing the generous uncle's invitation, Huang Hong was not in a hurry to refuse. According to the information he currently knew, the Breath Spirit Worm only appeared below the seventh level, and the Earth Vein Spirit Marrow could only be found at the ninth or tenth level.

Huang Hong didn't have a specific map, and if he just wandered around like a headless fly, who knows how long it would take.

Therefore, trying to obtain information from other people would be a good option.

Thinking of this, Huang Hong smiled and said, "My name is Hong. May I ask how I should address you, Uncle?"

"Uncle?" The hearty-looking man paused for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "It really is... I've become an uncle without even realizing it?"

After a brief moment of slight frustration, the hearty uncle recovered and laughed, "Andy, you can call me Brother Andy!"

Huang Hong ignored his words and said, "Then, Uncle Andy, this shouldn't be your first time in the Camo Caves, right?"

Andy asked in disbelief, "How could you tell that?"

Huang Hong shrugged and said, "You and that underground guide from earlier must be old acquaintances, right?"

Andy laughed and said, "Alright, alright, you win. I have indeed come to the Camo Caves quite often these past few years, and because I've been here so many times, I've gotten to know some people."

Huang Hong asked, "Brother Andy, is your trip to the Camo Caves purely for adventure, or do you have some other goal?"

"Let's take the adventure," Andy said with a chuckle.

Huang Hong nodded and said, "I want to go deeper into the cave. I wonder if Brother Andy knows the way?"

"If Brother Andy can show me the way, I'm willing to go with you and follow your instructions. Although I'm not very strong, I can still do errands and odd jobs without any problem."

Huang Hong raised the question and stated his conditions.

Andy said with a smile, "If you dare to venture deep into the cave, you must be quite strong?"

Huang Hong did not respond, but simply looked at Andy calmly.

Andy thought for a moment and said, "I know the way to the fourth and fifth floors. I've only vaguely heard about the way to the sixth floor, but I don't know if it's right. If you want to know, I can tell you."

"Deal!" Huang Hong said with a smile, "Brother Andy, please guide me from now on."

Andy smiled and said, "It's a win-win situation, a pleasant collaboration."

Hearing Andy say this, Huang Hong also confirmed that Andy's trip to the Camo Caves was probably not just for adventure, but rather he must have his own goals.

But that's just right, as Andy said, the two of them are simply getting what they need.
