Chapter 378 Immediate Death
No one will easily come to the Spring of the Dead.
For Swabawa, the Fountain of the Dead is a symbol of misfortune and calamity.
Despite this, Andrei was extremely cautious.
He hid his 500-strong force, also to ensure that no one disturbed the interior.
They entered the cave with only ten people, including Sophia.
The cave was dark and damp, and the sound of dew dripping onto the ground could often be heard.
A deep, chilling wind blew from the depths of the black hole, making Sophia think for a moment that she had arrived in hell.
"Perhaps it really is hell," Sofia thought to herself. "This is the spring of the dead, a place where the dead gather, a natural hell."
But in this case, are these humans who are trying to explore the Spring of the Dead considered to be "seeking their own death"?
However, Sofia was curious to see what ghosts or spirits looked like.
Even if I die, at least I'll have gained some new knowledge.
That's why Sofia was a little excited at that moment.
However, everyone around was on edge.
Including Andrei, they all looked serious, and Sofia naturally dared not show her excitement.
Most people in this world don't know how to enjoy life to the fullest and don't know how to enjoy their short lives.
But Sofia has no intention of correcting them; she just wants to be herself.
Suddenly, Andrei raised his hands, signaling everyone to stop.
Igor walked to Andrei's side without saying a word, but simply looked at Andrei's face.
His choice was undoubtedly correct: do not make a sound in a cave where ghosts may exist.
Andrei glanced at Igor, then handed him a pendant woven from colorful rope, and said in a voice that even Sofia, standing at the back, could hear:
"This is a talisman. The pattern on it has disappeared, which means there is danger ahead."
Upon hearing this, Sophia thought that being extraordinary was indeed very convenient.
If given the chance, she would like to get a talisman.
She enjoys excitement, which naturally leads her to encounter many dangers. The amulet provides Sophia with some sense of security.
But right now she has to be careful; the danger of this ominous place is absolutely deadly.
Instead of ordering a return, Andrei led the group onward.
Soon, they arrived at the depths of the cave.
Just then, a cold, deep winter wind suddenly blew in, making Sofia's soul tremble.
The wind also took away the light, extinguishing all the torches.
Andrei ordered the torches to be relit, but the attempt failed.
Seeing this, Sofia hesitated before speaking:
"That—I can provide light."
Sofia produced so many light rolls that even the last project didn't use them all.
Sofia still has a few bills in her pocket.
The best material for making magic scrolls is naturally the skin of living beings.
Parchment is an excellent material for this.
The quality of the materials determines the extent to which power can be retained.
However, this material is very expensive.
However, Sofia used wood pulp paper.
The cost and price of this paper are relatively low, especially in the technologically advanced Federation, where it is so cheap that Andrei was willing to provide it to Sofia for free.
However, the cost is that the loss of magic will be extremely significant.
If we can retain 20% of the effect, that would be pretty good.
Even though the enchanting technique Sophia learned seems to be more efficient, it can only retain the effect up to three layers at most.
Therefore, Sophia herself would actually be much more effective using light magic than using a scroll.
However, the advantage of using a scroll is that it won't waste Sophia's current magic.
Moreover, she possesses many light scrolls, enough to distribute several to each person, resulting in a far better lighting effect than if she were to use magic alone.
Although the cave was pitch black, Sophia could sense that Andrei was turning his head to look at her.
Sure enough, she immediately heard Andrei's voice:
"Then let's take action."
Upon hearing this, Sophia immediately unfurled a glowing scroll, and light was reborn in the cave.
Sofia then distributed the reels to everyone.
When it was handed to Andrei, Sofia felt him nod.
Sofia could sense the trust in him; otherwise, she wouldn't have followed Andrei to explore the cave.
Since helping the team successfully pass through the village, Sofia has clearly felt that she is receiving more attention.
Yes, a person's value is something they earn themselves.
After gaining access to light, Andrei led his team onward.
Sofia naturally moved from the very end of the line to the middle.
This feeling of being enveloped gave Sofia a sense of security.
After traveling a distance, we finally passed through the narrow tunnel and arrived at a spacious cavern.
With the help of the scroll's illumination, the scene inside the cave came into Sofia's view.
Here, strange rocks, sharp as knives and spears, jut down from the top.
The yellow and white stalactites resemble tiny shrubs growing in front of you.
Tick tock!Tick tock!
The sound of dripping water grew more frequent, and Sophia felt her skin increasingly enveloped in moisture.
After navigating around the dense stalactites, Sofia finally saw a small spring located right in the center.
The creek is not still; its surface shimmers with light.
Either there are fish swimming in the spring, or it is connected to groundwater.
Even if all else fails, there must be some other force disturbing the spring.
"what!"
A sudden scream startled Sofia.
She quickly snapped out of her reverie, looking at the person screaming.
The man cried out in terror, "It's coming! What's coming!"
Sophia looked in the direction the other person was pointing and saw a ghost-like thing that lunged at her with its arms outstretched.
The ghost was pitch black and ominous, and it was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it had flown into the crowd and touched the person on the outermost edge.
The soldier's body went limp the moment he was touched.
He might have fainted, or he might be dead!
Could it be that those eerie black things can cause instant death?
Sofia's heart leaped into her throat, and the soldiers around her drew their weapons.
At this moment, Sophia noticed that several more strange creatures had appeared and were rushing towards them.
When one of the strange creatures appeared in front of a soldier, the latter waved his sword in confusion.
The iron sword sliced through the monster without resistance, but it could not stop the monster from advancing.
It will only disappear when the strange creature touches the soldier's body.
The soldiers collapsed, exhausted.
In the blink of an eye, four more corpses fell.
Sofia, who was surrounded in the center, has now become the outer perimeter.
But then she noticed that several more strange creatures were rushing towards the crowd.
What terrified her even more was that one of them was aimed at her.
Sofia's heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.
And that strange creature was in front of Sophia in the blink of an eye—
