Being completely soaked inside a cave was, as expected, very cold.
"Qiong Xing!? Are you alright!?"
"...Yes, I landed in water, so I am not injur—achoo!"
With his body heat rapidly draining, Qiong Xing realized this was bad.
He somehow managed to climb onto the shore and looked up.
"We will head to rescue you immediately. We will look for an alternate route, so please stay where you are and do not move."
"Understood."
Qiong Xing reflected that he had, as expected, caused trouble again.
A few minutes earlier.
"Do monsters not appear here?"
"Huh?"
"No, they have been showing up this whole time. What are you talking about?"
Huh? That was news to him.
In Qiong Xing's mind, monsters only meant green humanoid creatures, so when magical beasts appeared, he simply thought there were a lot of animals here.
"So those are monsters too. That is good to know. Wa—"
He stumbled over a small protruding rock under his feet and reflexively placed his hand on the wall.
