I control the world with magic - Chapter 256

c257 Cave

Lan He was immediately delighted, and looked at Su Mu with gratitude, and quickly extended his hand: “Hello, Mr. Su, it’s our first meeting, please take care of me.”

Su Mu smiled and shook hands with him: “I only have Silver 1, please take care of me when the time comes, Mr. Lan.”

“Of course, Mr. Su, where are you from?”

“Xingcheng.”

Lan He seemed to be familiar with him, and wanted to continue talking, but Su Mu said: “Mr. Lan, you will take the test soon. If you have anything to say, wait until you get off the bus, and don’t disturb everyone’s rest.”

Lan He was stunned, turned his head and looked around, and found that indeed, several people looked at him with a hint of ill will. He quickly apologized, shrank back to his seat, and dared not say anything more.

No one talked along the way, and two hours later, the bus finally stopped.

After getting off the bus, everyone found that they were taken to a cave.

The yellow-brown cave stood, and the dark and deep hole seemed to connect to the dark world in the deepest part of the earth, exuding a cold breath.

“This is the 12th entrance of the cave.” The examiner who had been waiting for a long time said indifferently.

“Your temporary team will enter from the 12th entrance. This cave is a huge underground maze, which holds a large number of nightmare monsters, and your task is to get out of the cave alive.

In addition, there are mithril plates placed in the cave by us in advance. In addition to getting out of the cave alive, you must also find the mithril plates. Only when you leave the cave with the mithril plates in your hand will you be qualified.”

As he spoke, the examiner took out a palm-sized silver metal plate with extremely complex patterns engraved on it, like some kind of extraordinary magic circle, which was obviously to prevent cheating.

Although mithril is precious, all those present are silver masters, so it is still very simple to take out a piece of mithril. If the mithril plate does not have any mark, it is possible that someone will have a bad idea and make one by themselves.

“Remember, the first ten people who get the mithril medal and leave the cave will automatically become captains and have the power to form teams, with five people in each team.”

As soon as this was said, someone immediately asked: “There are ten teams in total, five people in each team, and only fifty people in total. What about the rest of the people?”

The examiner said expressionlessly: “The rest of the people will be eliminated.”

“What? This is different from what you said yesterday. Didn’t you say that there will be no more elimination?”

“The elimination I mentioned does not mean completely depriving you of the opportunity to participate in the exploration plan, but this time, the empire has mastered a technology that allows multiple people to enter a nightmare world at the same time, but this technology is not mature and cannot include all of you at once.

So, the ten teams formed this time are considered advance marches. They will go first in the first batch, and the rest will wait for the second batch.”

After listening to the examiner’s explanation, everyone understood the reason.

“Okay, if there are no other questions, let’s go now.”

“Wait a minute, examiner, I have another question.” Lan He raised his hand and asked embarrassedly: “Examiner, I want to ask what if someone finds the mithril plate, but it is taken away by others?”

The examiner looked at him impatiently: “There is no explicit prohibition in this test, and you cannot snatch other people’s mithril plates.”

Everyone suddenly had different thoughts. If there is no explicit prohibition, it means it is allowed.

For a moment, the atmosphere between everyone became subtle.

“Okay, go in quickly, you have wasted too much time, and other groups have already entered.”

Everyone’s heart tightened, and they immediately walked towards the cave.

Entering the cave, the cold and damp breath hits the face. It is very dim inside, and the rugged stone walls can be vaguely seen. The irregular rock surface is covered with traces of erosion over the years. Some places are as sharp as knives, while others are round like jade.

The top of the cave was undulating, and it looked extremely depressing. The ground was also rugged and uneven, filled with many shallow puddles, reflecting blurry shadows.

Such a gloomy environment could almost immediately cause claustrophobia, but everyone was a silver warrior, and they had experienced countless dangers, so this gloomy environment could not scare everyone.

“There are flashlights here!” Lan He walked quickly to a corner, turned on a flashlight, and waved excitedly to everyone.

There was a table with thirty flashlights on it, which was obviously prepared by the examiner in advance.

Everyone immediately went forward to get the flashlight, and Lan He kindly turned on the flashlight and helped pass it.

After getting the flashlight, someone immediately headed deep into the cave, and the rest of the people were unwilling to lag behind and set off one after another.

But every few steps, a fork in the road appeared in front of everyone.

Looking at the dark corridors on both sides, someone went forward to take a look, but could not see the end at all.

“The examiner said this is an underground maze, so which way should we go?” Lan He was puzzled by the forked road.

At this time, a bald man in the crowd shouted: “Is there anyone with the ability to explore in the team?”

“I am.” A middle-aged woman with an ordinary face raised her hand, but she shook her head with an unpleasant expression: “I have explored it, but it’s useless. There seems to be something here that can interfere with my exploration.”

The bald man’s face turned ugly when he heard it: “You go to the front and lead the way, I will follow you.”

The middle-aged woman’s face changed slightly: “I have already said that I can’t explore, why let me lead the way?”

“Humph, who knows if what you said is true or false, maybe you have already explored the correct path, but you just don’t want to tell us.”

“I didn’t!”

“Stop talking nonsense, I’m Bai Yin San! Lead the way!” the bald man shouted, emitting a powerful aura.

The middle-aged woman’s face turned pale, and she dared not say anything more. She had to choose the right passage according to the principle of men on the left and women on the right, and the bald man followed closely.

People have a herd mentality, and most people immediately followed and walked to the right.

But there were also a few people who observed the terrain indifferently and chose the left.

“Mr. Su, which way are we going?” Lan He asked in a low voice.

In the darkness, Su Mu’s mouth curled up a barely noticeable smile. This Lan He was really interesting and had already started us.

“Left.”

“Why? Can you tell the right way, Mr. Su?”

“Guessed.” Su Mu took a step and walked into the passage on the left.

“Wait for me.” Lan He also hurriedly followed in.

There were fewer and fewer people staying in place, some chose the left, and some chose the right.

Yan Wu looked at Su Mu’s departing back, hatred in his eyes, and he walked to the left silently.

Tick, tick,

The passage was too quiet, except for the sound of people’s footsteps, there was only the sound of dripping water.

The examiner said that there were many nightmare monsters, but none of them were seen.

At this moment, the tall man walking in front suddenly stopped.

Everyone was stunned and stopped, shining a flashlight on the road ahead, and found that there was nothing unusual.
