Nothing happened that night, and the three of them fell asleep one after another.
The next day,
The sky was still dim, with dark clouds covering the entire heavens.
The campfire inside the cave had gradually died out, and the three of them woke up in turn.
This time, Long Yao took the initiative to make breakfast for Tang Lan and Bell. Naturally, Tang Lan was more than happy to accept her offer.
After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them left the cave together and prepared to investigate the underground cave Bell had mentioned.

Standing amid the thicket, Long Yao looked around before glancing at the pitch-black cave ahead that continued downward. She sounded somewhat surprised.
"Yeah. I only found this cave by accident. That fragment was discovered at the entrance."
"I'll send my little spiders down to scout the way first."
Bell volunteered. After speaking, he released six Soul Tool Spiders from his palm. They scuttled into the cave on nimble mechanical legs.
At the same time, Bell took out a square crystal panel. Before long, it displayed the scenes the little spiders saw inside.
Although the image had been specially processed so the three of them could see the cave's interior clearly, it was still incredibly dark.
Less than half an incense stick later, the image suddenly froze.
Only then did Bell turn and say, "This is the farthest distance my little spiders can scout. We'll have to investigate any deeper areas ourselves."
Tang Lan nodded and instructed, "I'll take the lead. Long Yao, stay behind me. Bell, bring up the rear."
Neither of them had any objections to Tang Lan's arrangement. After a brief discussion, the three entered the underground cave.
