Gauss and Aaliyah got up after a short rest, treading carefully on the slippery moss-covered ground as they cautiously approached the deep green "birdcage" pavilion.
Although this space was enveloped in lush greenery, the tidy paved ground underfoot and the relatively open surroundings, with few chaotic overgrown shrubs, vaguely revealed signs of artificial planning, hinting at what seemed to be an abandoned ancient public plaza, rather than a purely natural cave.
Evidently, this was also a relic of ancient civilization architecture.
As they drew closer, the entire pavilion finally appeared clearly before the two of them.
It wasn't a traditional stone pavilion; rather, it was intertwined and woven with numerous living, deep green broad-leaved plants similar to ivy in an incredibly intricate manner.
Interweaving, spiraling, arching, ultimately forming a hemispherical dome structure about three meters high and two meters in diameter, creating a massive plant birdcage.
