Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Chapter 125 Bartley: I have paid too much

Bartley poked an eye and an ear from behind the rock.

Reflecting the firelight in front, its pupils shrank slightly, then shrank again, and finally condensed into the shape of a needle, taking in all the scenes in the bright place.

There is a suddenly expanded space, with a length, width and height of 40 meters, which is very open.

The dazzling firelight came from a bonfire next to a very simple lair. A group of humanoid creatures about one meter tall with green skin and pointed ears were gathered around the bonfire and warming themselves.

These dirty, smelly humanoids seem to be some kind of primitive tribe-like organization. Among them, the sturdy individuals have the closest and most open position to the campfire, and are obviously in a higher position than the others who are thinner. A little higher than similar ones.

They can talk, and what they scream is their own unique language. Bartley saw that they can communicate simply using language. For example, one of the strong individuals called other thin ones over and gave it a bath in the cave. Moss can be seen everywhere rubbing the body.

Is there a certain amount of wisdom?
Warming by fire...firelight...sight?

Although their eyes look large, their eyesight does not seem to be very strong, and their cross-shaped pupils cannot see many things clearly under bright firelight.

Bartley has noticed that they need to hold something they touch very close to see clearly whether it is a useless stone or a piece of firewood they collected from nowhere.

These humanoid creatures were enjoying their dinner by the campfire. Bartley smelled the smell of barbecue. They simply picked up some pieces of meat with wooden sticks, briefly roasted them on the fire, and then stuffed the pieces of meat into their mouths. Have a great meal here.

However, based on the shape of those pieces of meat... Bartley adjusted his body shape and poked out the other side of his head from the other end of the rock that blocked his figure...

It saw in the corner of the cave, a humanoid creature that had been torn into pieces!
You have a certain level of intelligence and can eat barbecued meat, but you still eat the same kind of food when there is a lack of food?
The little cat's ears twitched, and Bartley squinted his eyes, recalling what Yulia had taught him about the mystery.

According to Yulia, they should have reached the middle of this confusing place by now.

There are usually no dead ends or dead ends in the maze. When the environment switches, or after completing some special event, and after collecting some special maze products, the maze will let intruders like them leave.

Perhaps...the firewood collected by these humanoid creatures was collected from outside this underground cave?
If this is the case, the way to leave this confusing place should be to go out through the exit of this underground cave.

"Wow wow!!!"

These green-skinned creatures suddenly started to make a noise. Bartley focused his attention and quickly saw what they were noisy about.

Not enough food.

There were a dozen of them, among which there were three sturdy ones. These three guys greedily devoured [-]% of the dinner, that is, the unlucky fellow who was cut into pieces, but they were still not full.

One of the guys seemed to be hungry. He shouted loudly and seemed to be cursing the thin and trembling fellows. He picked up a wooden stick and waved it in the air, looking very fierce.

Suddenly, it casually hit the head of a thin fellow with a wooden stick, causing the unlucky guy's brains to burst out, killing him on the spot. Then he grabbed its body and devoured it, even chewing up the bones and swallowing it.

The other thin people of the same kind were scared to death by it, and a stronger stench suddenly spread over them, making Bartley almost sneeze.

Bartley endured the discomfort and noticed that although the thin individuals were scared, they did not dare to escape and refused to leave the range of the bonfire, so they could only huddle together with each other.

What's even more interesting is that after eating an entire member of the same species, the muscular individual has visibly expanded in size, its muscles have swelled, and its momentum has obviously become stronger.

The cat's eyes narrowed even smaller. This was Bartley weighing the pros and cons very seriously.

These creatures are not the type that can communicate well with Yulia. They are vicious, bloodthirsty, extremely greedy, and have the effect of becoming stronger after cannibalizing their own kind.

If left alone, after they eat down to the last one, some more terrifying monster might be born.

Okay, kill them all!

After deciding how to deal with these creatures, Bartley began to retreat slowly, and soon turned around silently and ran into the dark underground cave.

After crossing a winding cave passage, Bartley returned to Yulia's hiding place, atop a raised rock.

The terrain here is relatively safe and there is no smell around, so Bartley placed Yulia here.

Yulia wrote two characters on the wall, and bright light was emitting from these two characters, illuminating the scene above the rock.

Bartley jumped on the rock and immediately saw Yulia sitting against the wall in the deepest part, worrying about the darkness at her feet.

"you……"

Yulia, who heard Bartley's deliberate noise, noticed Bartray's return.

[Keep your voice down! 】

Bartley warned Yulia, then came to the pool of darkness and looked down at the pool of darkness.

A black cat's eye suddenly opened on the far left of this pool of darkness, another cat's eye opened on the upper right corner, and in the darkness close to Bartley, a small window suddenly opened. Cat Mouth opened its mouth pitifully and shouted to Bartley:

"Meow?" (Bartley?)

【Deserved it!Who told you to eat randomly? 】

This pool of "darkness" is actually the little black cat Jeppard!
Since eating the red fruit, Jeppard fell into a coma. Bartley smelled the stench starting to emit from its body, and originally wanted Yulia to leave it alone.

But Yulia couldn't bear it when she saw that Geppard was still breathing, so she took Geppard with her again.

It wasn't until they moved forward for a while that Geppard suddenly fell from Yulia's arms.

Yulia and Bartley were startled to find that Geppard's body had turned into a liquid-like appearance, and all his bones, muscles, and fur seemed to have dissolved into this liquid darkness.

But Jeppard didn't die, and suddenly became much "smarter", but he didn't know how to control his current body.

Some "darkness" stretched out from the puddle of darkness on the ground, condensed into the shape of a kitten's paw, and waved towards Bartley.

"Meow..." (Bartley, help...)
Jeppard barked as if asking Bartley for help and waved the tiny cat's paw.

Bartley stretched out his paw tentatively and made contact with Geppard's kitten paw. With a little force, the kitten's paw was pressed into darkness, like a drop of ink, blending back into Geppard's. in the body.

[Well...it's hopeless!Wait to die! 】

"Meow!!!" (Bartley!!!)

"You just said you smelled barbecue. Have you found the source of the smell?"

Yulia didn't look at Bartley and didn't know what Bartley and Geppard exchanged.

Just now Bartley let himself stay here, and he went to explore the way ahead. Now Yulia was more concerned about what Bartley said about the essence of the barbecue smell.

If they are humans, they are probably "locals" who can communicate with each other in the puzzle. Maybe the way out of the puzzle lies with them?
[It’s a barbecue, but not a human being. 】

Unfortunately, Bartley immediately extinguished Yulia's hopes, and then described to her:

[It is a green-skinned creature with pointed ears, cross-shaped pupils, the whites of the eyes are gray-white, half a human tall, has basic intelligence, can make fire, independent language, ferocious, violent, greedy, gluttonous, and has green blood, strong Because of their respect, they will eat each other's kind, and the flavor of barbecue comes from their kind. 】

Bartley's description was incisive and accurate. Even if Yulia didn't see those creatures with her own eyes, she had a clear understanding of them at once.

[Two important points. The first is that they will become stronger after devouring each other. After the last one is eaten, it may be difficult to deal with them.

The second is that the wood they use to make fires may come from outside the cave, which is the exit of this puzzle. 】

Yulia's eyes immediately lit up when she heard there was an exit. She could hardly stand staying in this dark and cold cave.

"Then let's go around those creatures and find the exit, shall we?"

[There is no way around it, my suggestion is to kill them!Do you have any poison on you? 】

Yulia shook her head.

【arms? 】

Yulia took out a pair of nail scissors that even Bartley couldn't poke to death.

[What about your abilities?Do you have any abilities that can cause harm? 】

Yulia's embarrassed expression said it all.

Bartley very humanely covered the top of his nose with one paw, making a helpless expression of covering his face and being speechless.

However, it was helpless for only a second before it put down its paws, pointed at the glowing characters on the wall, and asked Yulia:

[You can still use this ability, right?Can it be moved? 】

Yulia nodded seriously quickly, fearing that she would be abandoned by her own cat because of her worthlessness.

[Okay, that should be enough. Come with me. 】

After saying that, Bartley walked towards the outside of the rock. When passing by the pool of Jeppard, he suddenly felt his tail being pulled by something.

Looking back, it found that Jeppard was looking at it pitifully. Many small cat paws stretched out from the darkness, grabbing its tail and hugging its tail tightly.

Bartley didn't get angry immediately, but tried to drag Geppard and take a step or two forward.

The pool of Jeppards on the ground was lifted up a bit by Bartley, and the claws of the kittens clinging to Bartley's tail were also lengthened a lot.

【Um? 】

With a flick of his tail, Bartley suddenly stepped back thoughtfully and approached Geppard.

Originally, after the little black cat turned into a puddle of darkness, it could not move on its own. Yulia used her maid's apron to pick it up and carry it away.

Bartley suddenly noticed a certain characteristic of Jeppard. The current state of this kind of person... seems to be quite malleable?

After thinking about it, Bartley confessed to Jeppard, and then tried to roll on the darkness.

The pool of darkness with many kitten claws stretched out successfully grabbed Bartley's body and all clung to Bartley's body.

Jeppard was originally just a little black cat, small in size and light in weight. After Bartley let it attach to him, Bartley could still bear the weight.

Can you ask this fellow to help you later?

Bartley's plan was to have Yulia use light to cooperate with it and use her own shadow to scare away the green-skinned creatures.

It just so happens that Jeppard is so malleable. Once he lets it wave its claws on him, his shadow will definitely be more scary, and he will be more sure to scare away those creatures.

Just when Bartley was planning this, he suddenly felt a slight sting on the skin on the part of his body where Jeppard was clinging to him.

An unknown premonition emerged in Bartley's mind, and he immediately questioned Jeppard:
【What are you doing? ! 】

"Meow?" (I don't know?)
One of Geppard's eyes blinked, blankly.

But Bartley felt that his skin was getting more and more painful, and he subconsciously swung his body, but Jeppard's grip was very tight, and he couldn't shake him off at all.

【let me go!Get down!You're biting me!You're eating me! 】

"Meow!" (Ah! What should I do? I don't know what to do?!)

Jeppard was startled by Bartley, but he still couldn't control his current body and couldn't let go of all the little claws attached to Bartley's body.

The pain became more and more obvious. Bartley's judgment was correct, Jeppard was automatically devouring it!But they don't know how to separate.

Jeppard was now in darkness, and Bartley's claws and bites could not touch Jeppard at all.

Just when Bartley was getting more and more anxious and in pain, an emotionless human voice suddenly sounded in its body:
"Attention, the secondary body is currently in a state of being corroded by foreign matter. The auxiliary function: skin cleaning has been automatically activated!"

【Huh?Is this voice? 】

Bartley was startled by the sound. He obviously didn't smell any odor from himself!

This is one percent of Camelot that Ye He left on Bartley.

The existence of this kind of nanorobot is an advanced technology that is incomprehensible to humans like Yulia, not to mention that Bartley is just a cat.

Unable to examine it carefully, Bartley discovered that the skin cleansing function Camelot said had been fully activated.

A bit of silver light burst out from Bartley's forehead and spread.

Camelot is like a silver halo, starting from Bartley's forehead and instantly sweeping across the surface of its body, cleaning its skin!

Jeppard, who was clinging to Bartley, suddenly felt that he had lost his point of strength, and fell to the ground behind Bartley with many of the hairs that he was clinging to that had been cut by Camelot.

Bartley, who jumped forward subconsciously, suddenly felt a chill on his body.

It looked back and almost jumped off the rock in anger.

I saw that Bartley had a large patch of conspicuous bald skin on his body, which seemed to be the area where Jeppard had clung to.

The exposed skin is a little red, and it has been eaten very thin by Jeppard. If it is later, blood will be seen!
Camelot was smart enough and did not regard all of Bartley's hair as foreign matter and cut it off altogether. It only cleaned up the area where Jeppard clung to.

But for a cat, the situation is no less than normal human hair, with a large, irregular area removed!

What's worse... Bartley suddenly felt that there was something cold between the ears on his head...

"You, you..."

It all happened too fast. From the moment Bartley suddenly decided to let Jeppard cling to it, to the moment the silver light burst out from it, and Jeppard was "thrown" off Bartley by the silver light, only a few seconds passed. That’s all.

When Yulia reacted, what appeared in front of her was an exaggerated Bartley who suddenly became bald.

Especially the top of Bartlet's head... It's like a hair crisis that older Laurent men often encounter. There is a large piece of baldness right in the middle of the two ears...

[Hiss...hoo...ga...ha...]

God knows why Yulia read these extremely strange modalities from Bartley's eyes.

【...let's go. 】

Thanks to the optimistic concept of "living is victory" cultivated in the life of stray cats, Bartley quickly did his own psychological work.

As if nothing happened, it turned around and jumped off the rock, preparing to take Yulia to carry out the intimidation plan.

But Yulia clearly saw that when Bartley turned to leave, two drops of crystal tears fell from its face and scattered in the air...

Although Bartley is a mixed-haired cat, and the patterns on his body are neither asymmetrical nor neat...but he always feels that he is at least a "decent cat" with neat and shiny hair.

This last bit of dignity...is gone now...

Geppard, knowing that he had done something wrong, obediently allowed himself to be carried by Yulia in an apron, without saying a word, and quietly as a darkness.

Yulia followed Bartley. She was struggling with how to speak to comfort her cat, but several times when she glanced at Bartley, who was so uniquely bald, she always wanted to laugh, but she couldn't control herself. expression.

Bartley was okay, he was angry and cried. He quickly adjusted his mentality and led the way while trying to contact the voice that just appeared in his body.

Intuition told it that this sound was some kind of back-up trick left by Ye He in its body. Every time it was about to give Ye He a hard blow, it should be this sound that blocked the strength of its mouth.

【what do you?Is it Ye He's thing? 】

Bartley's thoughts replayed in his mind.

invalid.

It received no response.

Combined with the fact that he had not smelled any odor from his body until now, Bartley suddenly felt something in his heart, and he opened his mouth and whispered tentatively:
"Meow...yaho...meow?"

It was trying to make its "meow language" as close to human language as possible, but finally chose to give up. Its vocal cords did not allow it to speak human language.

but!

Camelot is so smart!
"Accessibility: Animal Linguistics, turned on! Accessibility: Animal Ethology, turned on!
Are you contacting me?If so, please lift your right front paw. "

Bartley's eyes widened. This voice finally realized what it meant? !

It immediately stopped moving forward, squatted on the spot, and raised its right front paw high.

"The information has been received successfully. Based on comprehensive judgment, you may have the ability to understand human language? If so, please raise your left front paw."

Bartley immediately raised his left front paw.Yulia, who was following Bartley, looked puzzled as Bartley suddenly stopped in place, raised his paws from right to left, and made a bow... air?posture.

"Information received successfully, hello, Mr. Bartley, this is the auxiliary nanorobot system: Camelot, I am happy to serve you.

The first owner of this system is Ye He. As the second person authorized by Ye He, you can enable some auxiliary functions of this system. The auxiliary functions are now reported to you as follows:

1. Physical strengthening.

2. Defense strengthening.

3....

……

133, partial interruption of perception.

This system has no external auxiliary functions, nor does it have external automatic judgment effects. It can only automatically support you internally.

If there is an auxiliary function that you want to enable, please use your right front paw to mark the serial number of the corresponding function in front of you. "

Thanks to Bartley's super intelligence, it not only quickly understood the existence and abilities of Camelot, but also memorized all the more than 100 auxiliary functions reported to it by Camelot.

As soon as he heard Camelot talking about how to activate the function, Bartley immediately put down his paw and began to make rapid gestures in front of him with his right front paw.

1, 2, 6, 19, 36…

Yulia looked even more confused. Bartley worshiped the air for a while, which scared her so much that she didn't dare to move forward. Suddenly, he put down his paw again, but his right paw seemed to be twitching, and it started to pull in front of itself.

After Bartley turned on all the auxiliary functions he wanted, some silver light invisible to outsiders quickly circulated in Bartley's body.

In Bartley's field of vision, the dark cave suddenly became brighter and more detailed. Its body was full of power, and its ears suddenly heard the snoring of the sleeping green-skinned creatures in the distance ahead. I also smelled more and more complex flavors.

Now Bartley suddenly feels like he can do anything!

Yulia, who was releasing her tension, and Geppard, who was held in Yulia's hand and squeezing an eye out of the gap to look at it, all this information was taken into Bartley's mind.

Bartley turned around and looked into Yulia's eyes:
[Ye He left me a backup plan!We should be able to leave this puzzle more easily now! 】

"what!"

Yulia, who received what Bartley meant, covered her mouth in surprise and cheered.

[Come with me now, cooperate with me, and I will definitely take you out of here! 】

Bartley, who was full of confidence, instilled this confidence in Yulia. Yulia never thought that one day she would be led through the confusion by her own cat.

The improvement in strength has brought Bartley enough confidence, but it is not a human being who is easily affected by power and has lost its sense of crisis. Although it is now confident that it can kill those green-skinned creatures on its own, it still made a safe choice. Good scare plan.

After getting very close to the large cave where the green-skinned creatures were, Bartley asked Yulia to release the light, adjust his shadow, and place it in front of them.

Then, Bartley opened his mouth and roared.

What he was most worried about before was that his screams were not deep enough or scary enough.

But Bartley is not the kind of human being like Ye He who doesn't even bother to look at Camelot's auxiliary functions.

After turning on Camelot's auxiliary amplification sound function, Bartley's roar suddenly became profound and terrifying, startling Yulia who was following behind it to provide light.

As for the green-skinned creatures who had just eaten and fell asleep, Bartley's roar echoed in the large cave where they were located, and the shock effect became more and more obvious.

This terrifying roar successfully awakened the most primitive fear in their bodies, the fear of being coveted by superior predators, making them all jump in fear, including those strong individuals.

A terrifying shadow appeared from a passage in the large cave. Under the pale light, a ferocious beast with a pair of short sharp horns (Bartley's cat ears) was roaring and approaching them.

This giant beast opened its mouth, and the shadow of the huge mouthpart (Bartley's teeth) filled with terrifying sharp teeth was reflected on the wall in front of the green creatures, as if it could swallow them all in one bite!
"Wow!!!"

"Gah wow!!!"

As expected by Bartley, these creatures had a certain amount of intelligence and were not a race that was particularly good at fighting or hunting. When Bartley used his shadow to scare them, they began to scream and head toward the other side of the cave. Exit escaped.

[Get it done! 】

The plan was successful, Bartley quickly called to Yulia to put away the light, and chased with it in the direction where these green-skinned creatures fled.

The direction they left was most likely the forest connected to the exit of the underground cave. By changing the environment at that location, Yulia and the others would be able to leave this confusing place.

Yulia also understood this. She quickly followed Bartley, covered her nose and crossed the large cave full of foul smell, and chased the green-skinned creatures together.

They ran away very quickly. After all, they were very familiar with the structure of this cave and could run away at extremely fast speeds even in the dark.

Bartley and Yulia couldn't catch up with them at all, and soon they couldn't even hear their screams echoing in the cave.

But it’s not a big problem. With the help of Camelot, Bartley can clearly capture the odor on their bodies. What’s more, they were so frightened that they peeed and left an unknown liquid on the ground to guide Bartley. , very convenient for tracking.

But just as Bartley and Yulia hurriedly walked slowly and slowly through the cave for a long distance, a fork in the road suddenly appeared on the side of the passage, suddenly making Bartley stop where he was.

"How……"

Yulia, who was out of breath from running, was about to ask Bartley why he stopped. She followed Bartley's gaze towards the fork in the road and hesitated in place.

At the end of the fork in the road, there was a small wooden house that had been demolished and in disarray. Some human bones were scattered on the ground of the wooden house. A skull was silently staring at a man and a cat.

[Tsk...the wood those guys burned came from here, not from outside, damn...]

Yulia didn't have time to observe the firewood used by the green creatures to burn the campfire. Bartley had confirmed it again and again. It noticed that the firewood was exactly the same as the one on the destroyed cabin here.

The hope of leaving the confusion seemed to be shattered, and one person and one cat fell into helpless silence.

Yulia was much sadder than Bartley. The depressing environment of the underground cave, the dangers of the maze, and the pursuit that she had been so hopeful about just now suddenly dashed her hopes again.

These mental blows were added together, and although Yulia was not so depressed, the morale that Bartley had just boosted for her was exhausted.

[Don’t be discouraged. It’s not the time to despair yet. Go over and take a look. Maybe there is a treasure here? 】

Bartley, who saw Yulia's disappointment, encouraged Yulia again and took the initiative to lead Yulia into this fork in the road and came to the dilapidated cabin.

Seeing that Yulia was a little less interested, Bartley had no choice but to continue to say to her:

[Look, the appearance of this kind of wooden house here actually proves the existence of some exits in this cave. Otherwise, where did the materials to build this wooden house come from?

The question now is, who is this man and he built a cabin here... why?What's the need? 】

"Huh? Maybe to avoid the tide?"

Although Yulia's attention was mobilized by Bartley again and she was no longer so lost, she was still obviously a little listless, and she only responded casually to Bartley's question.

[No, such a big cave, such humid air, such a small wooden house can't stop much...]

Bartley began to inspect the wooden house. In this small wooden house, there was nothing that could be called furniture. The only wooden bed was first dismantled by the green-skinned creatures and burned as firewood. Only a vacancy was left which was obviously for a bed, telling those who came after that there had once been a bed here.

But Bartley is different now. Camelot has greatly improved its senses. Even in such a fallen wooden house, it still observed some special places.

Bartley's eyes lit up and he landed on a tattered carpet. He hooked his claws on the shabby carpet and pulled the largest part of the carpet away from the original place, exposing a small wooden door.

"what?"

Is there really such a special thing?

Yulia, who was attracted by this small wooden door, immediately cheered up. Although humans are not as curious as cats, women's curiosity is not much worse than cats.

One person and one cat came together to the wooden door. Yulia carefully opened the wooden door, revealing a dark passage with a wooden ladder in front of them.

【ha!It would make sense to build this cabin if it was to hide the place! 】

Bartley conveyed his intention to Yulia, jumped onto the wooden ladder going down, and smelled the air below.

Camelot's night vision function allowed Bartley to clearly see a secret passage under the wooden ladder. At the end of the passage far away from Bartley, something sparkling seemed to flash.

"Hmm, is there any danger down there?"

Yulia has become interested in the treasures that may exist below.

[There is no danger, there is a new road down there, and there is a light at the end!You can use your light to illuminate. Let's go down and have a look! 】

Bartley ran down the wooden ladder. When Yulia followed carefully, he turned back and asked Yulia to close the wooden door.

When the man and the cat landed in this secret passage and headed in the only direction, they soon noticed that this passage was different from the cave they were in just now.

The walls and floor of the passage are too flat, giving it an obvious, man-made feel.

After walking for a while, the passage gradually became wider and wider, and some strange murals began to appear on the walls on both sides of the passage.

As soon as Yulia saw these murals, she immediately recognized where this passage was.

"This is a ruins!"

【What are ruins? 】

Bartley looked at Yulia with some confusion.

"You can understand the ruins as... secret treasures left by people long, long ago!" Yulia's expression became more and more excited. She pointed to the murals on the wall and explained to Bartley:
"You see, these murals describe the life of the owner of this ruins, including his original power, final outcome, etc. Oh! I seem to have triggered the special ability of the puzzle, and I recognized these words!"

[What does it say? 】

Bartley recognized some of Laurent's official common characters, but in its eyes, the characters on the mural that Yulia pointed to were just irregular patterns.

The Puzzle will allow humans like Yulia who enter it to gain the ability to recognize the text and language in the Puzzle, but even the creator of the Puzzle probably did not expect that one day such a smart cat would enter the Puzzle. .

"Only those with keen intuition, strong will, firm belief, and extraordinary reactions can pass the test and obtain...rewards!"

Yulia translated the text on the mural to Bartley. She obviously focused on the word "reward", and Bartley immediately noticed...

[You just said "test", right? 】

"Ah."

【Damn!There is danger here!Stop! 】

Bartley not only conveyed his thoughts to Yulia with his eyes, but also jumped in front of Yulia, blocking the steps she had just raised and was about to take.

Yulia was so frightened by Bartley that she took a step back and almost fell to the ground.

She immediately noticed that Bartley was staring closely at the ground where she was about to land.

The cat gently fiddled with the edge, then turned around and lightly swept the dust with its tail, exposing a pattern imprinted on the ground that was almost completely weathered and almost completely disappeared, exposing it to Yulia's eyes.

This is...an agency? !

Yulia belatedly remembered that along with the term ruins, in addition to opportunities and treasures that could be written into storybooks and harvested, there must also be fatal mechanisms!
The "tests" Bartlet mentioned should be these inconspicuous but potentially fatal mechanisms.

Now it seems that the identity of the skeleton left outside the wooden house above is self-evident.

He was the lucky one who accidentally discovered the ruins in this cave.

But he doesn't have the strength to pass the test of the ruins and cross these institutions.

So he simply built a small wooden house at the entrance of this ruins passage and slowly pondered the test here.

But before he could complete the test and obtain the reward of the ruins, he died in the cabin due to some unfortunate reasons.

So the question is, this person has failed to pass the test throughout his life, how can Yulia and Bartley, who have no cost of trial and error, pass this passage?
Yulia and Bartley stepped back a little, and then Bartley asked Yulia to throw a pebble at the pattern exposed by sweeping away the dust.

"Shh!"

When the stone came into contact with the pattern, a guillotine came from nowhere and suddenly cut through the passage.

The stone cut in half rolled to the ground, making Yulia swallow hard.

If Bartley hadn't stopped her just now, her foot might have been gone when she stepped on it!
Bartley looked toward the end of the passage, and soon saw those flashes of light again, and also vaguely saw the shape of a huge stone door.

baby?The door to leave?

To be honest, Bartley was interested in all of this.

Maybe there are other places in the cave above where it and Yulia can leave this confusing place, but Bartley himself is a little reluctant to just go back and leave here without exploring this ruins.

What else can be done?

Bartley looked around while thinking.

When its eyes passed over the apron held by Yulia, and met Geppard's eyes as he stuck out his little head and looked around...

【Almost forgot about you! 】

"Meow?" (What?)

……

"Left! Left!"

"Meow meow!"

"Right, yes, forward!"

"Meow!"

The flashes of swords and swords that appeared in the passage due to the triggering of the mechanism flashed in the darkness with a series of terrifying roars.

Yulia and Bartley, who were standing out of reach of the mechanism, were loudly pointing the way to Geppard, who was exploring the way for them.

"Meow... meow..."

Jeppard closed his eyes tightly, not daring to open any of them. It was such a small pool of darkness. It was using a method of extending many tentacles and dragging the darkness of the body to move through the passages with many mechanisms. There was thunder in it.

Just now Bartley forcibly taught Jippa this method of movement, and then sent it out generously.

Now it seems that Bartley's choice was right. Jeppard's weight can just activate the mechanism. It is now a pool of darkness. Even if the guillotine cuts Jeppard's body vertically from above, it can't touch Jeppard at all. Pad, not to mention those agencies that have no access to it at all.

It's just that Jeppard's heart is still that of a little kitten. Even if he is much smarter, he still doesn't have the tenacity of Bartley to face so many dangerous swords.

So Bartley just let it close its eyes and use his own voice to guide it.

Not all places on the ground have mechanisms. Some of the locations Jeppard passed by would not trigger anything. These safe locations were noted down by Bartley and Yulia.

After Jeppard reached the end of the passage, Bartley waved to Yulia:

[Ladies first, let’s go! 】

Yulia showed an awkward smile to Bartley:

"Well, cats and cats have priority. You go first."

[Don’t you remember the safe way?Okay, I'll lead the way. Also, I'm just a cat, you don't have to be shy with me. 】

Bartley conveyed his thoughts coolly, and then walked into the passage with elegant steps.

Yulia, who was following it, shook her head in distress. The cat at home was so smart that it would make its owner look useless...

oh!Yulia suddenly understood and sympathized with the distress of the animal trainer in Mahimus Circus.

　It's almost time to leave the confusion.

　　In addition, I would like to solemnly declare that the intellectual ceiling of this book is Bartley!
　　
　
(End of this chapter)
