"This waterway is probably the underground passage leading to Nali Lake. We'll enter together once Moli comes back from scouting," Fisher said after reading the clues on the stone wall. He walked to the side of the cave pool, speaking to Anna beside him.
Moli had already gone ahead to scout, a precaution to avoid any unexpected dangers below.
Anna seemed fine, but Xiayat, looking at the bottomless water, turned pale. Their drenched horse trembled continuously, clearly terrified of the water.
"Ah, um, maybe... you guys go ahead, and I won't follow?"
Fisher glanced at her and then pointed upwards towards the cavern's eerie expanse. As Xiayat spoke, her words echoed repeatedly, resonating around them.
"There's no way up here, only the underground river in front of us. Besides, who knows if that ghostly figure from earlier might come down here to find you..."
"What?!"
