Chapter 154: D55. The End of Love Talk_2

As the destination got closer, the coachman maintained his vigilance while also showing a smile.

Then, it was deep into the night.

The coachman voluntarily placed the sleeping bag near the entrance of the cave, keeping watch with the two Chocobos, while the Hero and the Gleaming Scale Serpent slept near the campfire.

The campfire that was still burning dispelled the cold inside the cave, but in the depths where darkness was impenetrable, there seemed to be a strange presence—

[Hero’s Detection (Perception +31, Critical Success +30)]

D100+61=d100(72)+61=133

[What is it? (The higher (50+) the more it tends towards danger and opportunities coexisting, the lower it is purely a reward but not high in magnitude)]

D100=d100(100)=100

[Encountered Critical Success! Hero activated skill: Extrasensory Sensation]

[Hero’s Analysis (Intelligence 50)]

D50=d50(30)=30

→☆→☆→☆→✧←★←★←★←

The campfire quietly crackled softly.

The blizzard had stopped unnoticed, the forest outside the cave nearly silent, only occasionally the sound of snow falling brushed by the night wind could be heard.

The winter night was incredibly silent.

Although the temperature had slightly risen as they approached the southeastern Border, it was still a severe winter with snowfall.

On such a night, even without detecting any signs of danger, the mere darkness surrounding them could evoke indescribable unease and fear in one’s spirit.

Even the coachman, who had traveled this route numerous times and chose to sleep near the cave entrance, did not have a peaceful expression as he slept.

The two Chocobos, clad in Cotton Armor, nestled close to their master, one slightly dozing off, while the other vigilantly kept its eyes open, maintaining a watch over the outside of the cave.

As mounts, Chocobos were broadly favored for a reason.

This proactive night-watching behavior, apart from being trained, is also their instinct.

Since they cannot fly, against terrestrial enemies, wild packs of Chocobos must gain the opportunity to flee.

Thus, when other companions are sleeping, drinking water, or even preparing to reproduce, there must always be a Chocobo nearby on alert.

Suddenly, the watchful Chocobo turned its head.

Without knowing when the Hero, who had already dressed in her Equipment, climbed out from the sleeping bag and quietly raised a finger to her lips towards it.

[Has the coachman been to this cave before?]

1. Yes♛

2. No

D2=d2(1)=1

[The depth of the cave is—]

1. Closed♛

2. Deep

D2=d2(1)=1

The night was silent, all sounds hushed.

Even the keen Hero could not determine if other creatures were traversing through the snowfall in the forest outside.

This cave was a good shelter.

There were no traces of wild animals around, and the depth and size of the cave were just right to block the cold wind without being too deep to exude the chill of the mountain’s guts.

During previous journeys, the coachman had visited here several times; for him, this cave had already become a fixed resting spot.

Inside the cave, there were discarded household items and some trash left from his previous visits, showcasing the security of this place as a human territory.

Normally at this time, the Hero would already be deep in sleep.

The Gleaming Scale Serpent remained alert beside her.

Though as a snake without eyelids, it was difficult to tell from its appearance whether it was sleeping.

But as the Queen’s most faithful Familiar, it would not neglect its duty, and raised its head the moment the Hero got up.

However, neither the coachman’s familiarity with this place nor the loyal guardianship of the Familiar could dispel the unease in the Hero’s heart now.

When she crawled into the sleeping bag and closed her eyes, a strange sensation spread from the ground, climbing up her spine to her brainstem, making all her senses acutely alert.

Unable to consider this merely her imagination, the Hero opened her eyes, climbed out of the sleeping bag, and put on her boots.

She looked back, her emerald pupils reflecting a corner of the firelight.

’What is in the depth of the cave?’

It was the direction from which that strange sensation emanated, but under the illumination of the campfire, the deep parts of the cave were just the walls of the mountain, appearing like an abstract painting in the flickering firelight.

[Hero’s Detection=163＞150, she—]

1. Felt a sharp, chilling breath

2. Her ornament trembles slightly

3. Heard the unwilling cries of a woman

4. Heard the whispers of the Night Mother

10. Critical Success/Extreme Failure

D10=d10(5)=5

The Hero, standing up, gestured for silence to the Chocobo that had turned its head.

Seeing the Chocobo obediently turn back, she gently breathed in, signaled the Gleaming Scale Serpent, and then quietly stepped forward, silently moving to the front of the cave wall.

The Hero’s pupils involuntarily constricted and dilated, her nostrils flared slightly, her ears trembled minutely, even her hairs slightly bristled, sensing the flow of the air.

She gently placed her hand on the cold mountain wall, receiving the information obtained from all her senses with a calm spirit.

[What resonated?]

1-5. Snake

6-7. Fish♛

8. Phoenix and Slime

9. Fate of Death

10. Critical Success/Extreme Failure

D10=d10(7)=7

"Drip-drop—"

An inconspicuous sound emerged, the extremely faint vibration captured by touch, the sound wave recorded by hearing.

The Hero suddenly lowered her head, looking towards a small corner below.

There was a crack there, refusing illumination in the shadow, narrow enough to even challenge a Goblin’s entry.
