Roleplay As Cultivator
21: Dungeon
At the top of the hill Tian Jie and Huang Qingyue wanted to get a better view to see the surrounding conditions. The thing that shocked the two of them when they reached the top of the hill.
The peak of the stone hill was very wide, about two hundred square meters. In the middle of the top of the hill it has collapsed forming like a crater with rock fragments on the ground.
Tian Jie and Huang Qingyue circled the crater to look for clues but the two of them found no clear trace.
Tian Jie : “Qingyue, how is your emblem any change ?”
Huang Qingyue : “The light is getting stronger, I believe my sister is near here”
Tian Jie was silent for a moment to think - ira.
“Do you think he went in there ?”
“From what I see the depth can be up to fifty meters over”
Huang QIngyue: “I'm also not sure Mr. Tian”
“because my emblem shines so much up here I also thought that he went down there”
“But as we circled this crater, I found neither descending path nor tali”
“ ... did he jump down in a panic ?”
“We found a bit of a former fight in the path we came”
Tian Jie slightly pursed - moving his lips made a dubious smile.
“Most likely like that”
“Huuf .., do you have a rope or something?”
Huang Qingyue took out a rope whose tip was tied to a small anchor.
“I have Mr. Tian, But only thirty meters” long
Tian Jie could only sigh.
‘Do I have to risk again ?’
‘Down there it's easy but back to the top that will be a little difficult’
As Tian Jie and Huang Qingyue thought of a safe way to descend into the crater, the Hill below them shook violently.
GRrrrk~GRRRK~GRrrKK
“GEMPA !?”
“KYAA”
The ground became unstable and shook - shaking them both.
Ksrak~
As they tried to balance themselves, Tian Jie looked at the tip of the crater that was beginning to fall down.
‘don't - don't ..’
He hurriedly held onto Huang Qingyue's hand and pulled her away from the edge of the crater.
“From Qingyue”
“Eh”
GRrrrk~GRRRK~GRrrKK
They ran away from the edge of the crater even though it almost fell because the ground shook so strongly.
The crater rim began to crack and slide down. The walls of the crater started to rapidly landslide and seeped towards Tian Jie and Huang Qingyue ran away.
Boom~ boom~ boom~
“More quickly”
As they ran, the avalanche almost reached below their feet. Seeing his footing begin to descend Tian Jie directly pulled Huang QIngyue and hugged him with one hand.
“Warp step (cantrip 0)”
Tian Jie leaped with all his might towards one of the large rocks in front of him. It did not stop Tian Jie continued to jump among the large rocks so as not to slide down along with the avalanche of earth and rocks.
“AYOLAH !”
Srrrrk~ Boom~ boom~ boom~
After a while the avalanche stopped. Tian Jie was still hugging Huang Qingyue leaping towards the already stable ground. Then he flipped his body towards the crater and allowed himself to fall with his buttocks first to the ground then lay on the sloping ground the rest of the avalanche.
“Hah .. hah .. haaaah .. “
“wh@t the f@ck”
“That was really driving my adrenaline”
Tian Jie tried to control his gasping breath. He forgot to breathe while jumping - jumping between rocks to save themselves. He also unconsciously forgot someone until that person moved.
“um ..., Mr. Tian Jie ..”
Tian Jie who realized that he was still hugging Huang Qingyue immediately took off his hand and let Huang Qingyue slightly make some distance.
“.. You okay?”
Huang Qingyue slightly turned her face away in embarrassment.
“I-iya, I'm fine - what”
Tian Jie closed his eyes for a moment then began to analyze the surroundings. He stood up to look at the avalanche.
“uwah, lucky we didn't get dragged down earlier”
Two-thirds of the crater wall slides down and buries the crater floor. The depth of the crater is now about forty meters. There was still a moving piece of land sliding down but not much.
As Tian Jie scanned the bottom of the crater he saw something that caught his attention. From above it looks like a huge block-shaped rock with a width of thirty meters, while its length is unknown because the other end is still buried in the ground.
Tian Jie could not let go of his curiosity. It just so happened that the walls in the crater were not as steep as before. He sure could go down there and up again.
‘what is it?’
“Qingyue I'll get off checking something”
Not waiting for Huang Qingyue's reply, Tian Jie immediately darted down by allowing himself to glide on the land that was not dense.
The shocked Huang Qingyue also followed Tian Jie down.
“Wait for mister Tian Jie, I'm in”
Tian Jie slid down towards the huge stone block. The closer there he realized that the stone was not formed naturally.
‘Stone sculpture .. ?’
‘ .. doesn't seem to be’
‘it looks more like made cement or clay’
Tian Jie crouched down and then pressed his hand against the stone.
‘ini .. , right - right cement mould’
Huang Qingyue who slid behind Tian Jie also reached the top of the stone. He approached Tian Jie with a pouting face.
“huf, don't arrive - suddenly move without saying - say like that Mr. Tian”
But Tian Jie did not hear it and was still busy looking at the structure in front of him. He found that there was a part that was peeling because of the avalanche earlier. He could see this huge block of stone composed of small black stone blocks glued together by some sort of cement mixture.
‘ini made by someone .. ’
‘A building whose walls look like stone and the building is buried in a big hill’
‘DO NOT - DONT’
Tian Jie's eyes were wide open realizing what this building was. With a smile he jumped on the side of the building and slid in front of the building to see what it looked like.
Tian Jie stopped moving observing the building.
From the front he saw a giant gate. The door was enormous with a width of twelve meters and a height of twenty-five meters. Two huge pillars held the door right and left. But one of the broken doors that fell into the building showed how dark it was inside. At the top was a roof with inscriptions that he could not read. On the leaf of the large door there is a human-shaped relief with a large muscular body, mustachioed, wearing armor, and carrying a large hammer. The relief was made of stone just like the door material, only the hammer was decorated with gold and rubies which were somehow still sparkling clean.
Tian Jie's body was trembling, his face was down, his eyes were covered in hair, but a wide smile adorned his face even until his teeth were visible.
“Kukuku”
Huang Qingyue approached Tian Jie feeling that there was something strange about her.
“Um, Mr Tian Jie, is something wrong ?”
He held onto Tian Jie's shoulder and shook - swaying his body.
“dungeon” Tian Jie's.
Huang Qingyue : “you said what Mr ?”
Tian Jie : “hehehe , I found ..”
”hmm ?” Huang Qingyue tilted her head.
Tian Jie arrived - suddenly clenching both of his hands into the air startled Huang Qingyue.
“WOHOO I FOUND DUNGEON !!!”
Huang Qingyue put on a confused face.
“huh ?”
…
The sound of Tian Jie's cry was loud enough to echo within the crater and seep into the dungeon.
“urgh .. , s .. sia .. pa .. ?”
Inside the dark dungeon came a groaning sound. His voice sounded like a female voice.
“ . to. to. lo .. ng .. a ..“
Slowly the woman's voice disappeared without anyone being able to hear it.
