It's no use staying on the same place for a long time so I should start moving ahead.
Seems there are human footprints here means that there are people in here and I have a feeling that if we were to bump into each other, it would be a troublesome for sure.
For the time being, let's move towards the opposite direction of the footprints just for safety.
However, this cave sure is wide open!
The height of this huge cave is probably around 100 metres and the width should be approximately the same as heights.
I'm not entirely sure, due to the uneven rocks scattered here and there, but it feels like this huge cave is considerably spacious.
The wide path branches extending even further.
Here is a Y-shaped intersection where there's the path where I come from, the path where the people go through and the path that I am heading to right now.
The path I'm going to is the one going downwards from the Y-shaped intersection.
I climb the rock nearby and I peek at the path ahead quietly.
Something is over there....!
There are lots of monsters lurking throughout the path.
『Frog』『Frog』『Frog』『Frog』『Frog』『Frog』『Frog』『Frog』『Bat』『Bat』『Bat』『Bat』『Bat』『Bat』『Bat』『Bat』『Bat』『Lizard』『Lizard』『Lizard』『Lizard』『Lizard』『Lizard』『Lizard』『Fox』『Fox』『Fox』『Fox』『Fox』『Fox』『Fox』『Rat』『Rat』『Wolf』『Wolf』『Wolf』『Wolf』『Wolf』『Wolf』『Dinosaur』... ( TL note: Stop it, it's annoying!!!)
The "Examine" skill has gone rampaged so far.
No, it looks like a fox but the fox I know did not had a shining star-like fur.
The bats are also different. It looks like an ugly rodent with devil wings.
The wolf looks relatively normal or so I thought, but it has six legs.....weird.
At the back, there is a dinosaur lying down on the floor.
It looks like a T-rex that has sharp horns and hard scales.
Rather than a dinosaur, isn't it a dragon?
Must I breakthrough here?
Is it possible?
No, doing something absurd might be a good thing for a newborn small snake.
The difficulty is very lunatic.
I stealthily descend from the rocks.
What to do now?
In front of me is a monster hazard.
The back, one being a snake hell and another one is a human.
Huh??
Am I being checkmated?
Well...wait, not so fast.
I should calm down first.
I have prepared a simple solution just in case something like this might happen in the future.
Well, it's not an exaggerated thing. I just happen to found another path.
Because of the huge Y-shape intersection, it didn't stand out but there is definitely a path.
The passage was a hole in the wall.
Still, the height of the hole is around 3 meters and the width is approximately the same.
If there is a problem, it is the footprints of human that came out from the passage.
If a person came out from the passage, doesn't that means that beyond this passage is the cave or rather the dungeon's exit?
Umu.
The exit...
Should I really go out from this place?
If I am a normal human being, I won't hesitate to go out.
After all, it's obvious that this dungeon is way too high-leveled.
I don't know how strong am I as a monster and the moment I thought that it is impossible to win, the option to fight is excluded.
No. If this is a game then dying won't be hard because I can revive but if it's a reality then dying will practically be the end.
I don't intend to stake my life into a suicide attack.
I want to take as many safety measures as I can.
When thinking like that, the choice to escape the dungeon doesn't seem to be a bad choice.
Even though the choice was not bad, I cannot say that it's safe to go out.
After all, I am a monster.
At least if there's people going in and out of the dungeon, that means that there's a human population nearby this cave.
If a monster snake were to show up in a human territory, obviously I would get hunted.
That's the risk of going outside.
However, if I can settle down in a place where it's hard to find, then it might work out.
It's a matter of luck to skillfully avoid from humans or to continue to stay inside the cave.
Yosh, I have decided it!
For the time being, let's head to the dungeon's exit.
I should watch the dungeon's exit and I should escape as soon as possible.
There's a possibility that the humans may had pitch their tent at the entrance of the dungeon.
Now that it's decided then Let's Go!
I hesitated again.
No.
Can I say it again?
This cave is way too WIDE!
What's with this huge cave?
It looks like a labyrinth.
The path seems to branch until I don't even know where I am going.
The number of branch paths?
I gave up after I counted till 10.
I encountered a considerable amount of monsters.
The results of escaping from each encounter was me getting lost.
Footprints?
I have lost sight at such a thing long time ago.
Ahh, nai waa.
A map is needed if anyone wants to conquer this labyrinth.
Now's not the time to find the exit.
My hunger is reaching it's limit soon.
Somebody gimme ramen noodles please ~
