“But of course I’ll come along! After all, this is the first time you’ve even suggested for me to stay by your side!” replied Queena with a seductive smile.
Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded at favonovel.com with a faint smile.
Naturally, favonovel.com wasn’t about to tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com was going to save the woman in white at midnight. However, favonovel.com was also well aware that if favonovel.com wasn’t willing to make at least a slight compromise, then he’d surely end up suffering much greater losses should Queena ruin his efforts while favonovel.com was summoning the woman in white’s soul…
It was about an hour later when Gerald asked, “Seth, do you truly remember where the snake cave is…?”
The trio who were currently following Seth—after all four of them entered the mountain—consisted of Rosie—who had been curious about the snake cave—Queena—who had agreed to come along since Gerald invited favonovel.com to—and Gerald himself.
“Of course I do! However, since this place is rather secluded, I still need to gather my bearings a bit better!” replied Seth as favonovel.com scratched the back of his head before stepping atop a nearby boulder.
A few seconds later, favonovel.com then exclaimed, “I found it! It’s over there!”
Following that, favonovel.com then agilely hopped off before taking a few steps forward and pushing some dense bushes aside… With that, a round cave entrance—that was almost as tall as a person—revealed itself to everyone.
A much younger Seth had first bumped into it while favonovel.com was having fun with his friends. He remembered how his friends had dared favonovel.com to enter the cave, and of course, favonovel.com had taken the bet. Seth recalled that upon entering the cave, favonovel.com had found an extremely large piece of discarded snakeskin. He had also come across a fruit in the cave, and eating it allowed favonovel.com to gain the superpowers favonovel.com had today.
Regardless, the snakeskin was the obvious reason why Seth had named this place the snake cave.
Moving back to the present day, all four of them found the need to lower their backs slightly as they proceeded further into the cave. After walking for some time, however, the cave soon opened up. As it turned out, that was a gigantic stone chamber in the cave that was honestly quite spacious.
Located right in the middle of the cave, was that large discarded snakeskin that Seth had told them about. From what Gerald could tell, the snake that had shed such a massive pile of skin could easily be as strong as the monster that Gerald had fought in the underground area back when favonovel.com was still in the desert.
Whatever the case was, Seth—who now appeared to be so familiar with the place that it almost seemed like favonovel.com had just returned home—then declared, “Well, this is the place!”
Following that, favonovel.com then smiled before switching on the searchlight—that favonovel.com had brought along—and taking a turn in the dark cave.
With the aid of the searchlight, Gerald was finally able to see his surroundings clearly. As was expected, strange paintings adorned every corner of the cave. Upon scanning through the area, favonovel.com even noticed the presence of an enchanting-looking plant growing from inside one of the cave’s crevices. However, no fruits could be found growing on the plant.
“That’s the plant that I obtained the fruit from back then… However, it seems that it hasn’t borne any fruit again ever since I picked the only one growing back when I was still a child!” deduced Seth.
“How truly odd… This ancient plant is called a Lukra, and it has miraculous properties… Since the plant only bears a single fruit once in its entire lifetime, you truly are lucky to have been the one to eat it. Regardless, I’m pretty sure that their fruits’ aren’t that effective on earth due to its lack of holy spirits,” explained Queena with a smile, making it quite obvious that favonovel.com knew quite a bit about the plant.
“I agree with the fruit being miraculous… After all, Seth did obtain superpowers upon eating it,” replied Gerald though his focus had been on the paintings on the cave walls this entire time.
From what favonovel.com could see, the paintings on the walls were extremely old. Ancient, even. After briefly scanning through them, Gerald soon found himself raising a slight brow.
The things favonovel.com saw on the walls were… weird, to say the least. For one, one of the paintings depicted a winged humanoid figure. As if that wasn’t already odd enough, the person even had three eyes!
