Weird cave
At this time, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng, and Ma Yun received the reminder at the same time.

The system requires them to make a DC 12 "investigation" check to try to figure out where the evil magic in the cave comes from.

The "Investigate" skill depends on the Intelligence attribute.

Among this adventurous team, Ma Yun is the only one who is proficient in the "investigation" skill.

The 18 Intelligence attribute provides a +4 modifier, plus the +2 Proficiency modifier, and she must roll at least a 6 to succeed.

Fortunately, student Xiao Ma was not bad luck, and rolled out 9 o'clock.

After a preliminary investigation, Ma Yun found that there were signs of evil goblin activities in the cave, and there seemed to be a hidden "goblin channel" that hadn't been opened yet.

"If we manage to open the 'Fairy Passage', can Dorothy go through the Fairy Passage and go home directly?" Jiang Feng guessed.

"You have a good idea!" Gao Fei shook his head and smiled, "One end of the fairy passage is connected to the Fairy Wilderness, but the other end is not sure where it leads to. The probability that it happens to be connected to the world of Vales is almost zero."

"Besides, from the perspective of game design, this adventure has only just begun. If the heroine can go home now, won't she lose her motivation to continue the adventure?"

"That's true." Jiang Feng nodded, and said to himself, "Where does the goblin passage here lead to?"

"Then it depends on the survey results of the richest man." Gao Fei shrugged and spread his hands, "Both of our characters are of mediocre IQ and less talented, so we can't help the mage's wife."

"What 'mage's wife', it sounds so ugly!" Jiang Feng laughed.

"The male mage's honorific title is 'Master', but the female mage's honorific title can't be called 'Grandma', so it can only be wife." Gao Fei explained with a smile.

At this time, the "mage's wife" jumped up suddenly, and said eagerly, "Quickly retreat! Quickly retreat!" She turned her head and ran out of the cave.

"Xiaoyun, what's the matter?" Jiang Feng chased after him and asked.

"It's getting dark!" Ma Yun said without looking back.

"So what if it's dark?" Gao Fei couldn't help asking.

Ma Yun didn't make a sound until she ran out of the cave, and then she stopped and panted and replied: "The goblin passage in the cave will open after sunset, and those who stay in the cave will be forcibly transported to a place called 'War of Fear'." Nest' demiplane! What happens next, I don't know!"

At this time, Gao Fei inadvertently heard the rustling sound of rubbing branches and leaves next to him, turned his head to look, and found a bush shaking, and waved the "Whip of Thorns" without thinking.

"Sneaky guy, get out soon!"

"Woooo~~"

A fluffy big head emerged from the bushes. It was the lion who had just run away. A bloody mark was drawn on the forehead by the whip of thorns, and it hugged its head and howled.

Everyone quickly showed their weapons, intending to surround and beat this guy.

Realizing that there was no way to escape, the lion resolutely lay down on the ground and surrendered.

"Good ladies and gentlemen! Please spare me! Let me do anything, as long as you don't beat me!"

"Bah! Bai Chang is so big, he is less courageous than a mouse!"

Ma Yun spat on the lion, showing disdain.

"I know I'm a coward, but what can I do?" The lion lowered his head angrily, "You know, just two short months ago, I was the bravest beast in this jungle!"

Ma Yun looked at the newly refreshed mission log, and followed the system prompts to ask the cowardly lion named Dimitri:

"If you're not bragging, I'm curious about what kind of misfortune you have encountered, so that you have degenerated from a brave beast to the cowardly mouse you are now."

"Ah! Good lady mage, you are the only one who has cared about me since my bad luck."

The lion was so moved that he almost shed tears, choked up and told what happened to him.

"Miss, I used to be a well-known warrior in Mengqijin Township, and all the beasts in the forest respected me as the king, but the bad thing is that I'm probably too brave, so arrogant that I refused to submit to the rule of the Eastern Witch Ivanora , and ended up being cursed by that old witch, turning into the cowardly and cowardly person I am today!"

"Ivanora won't let me go so easily. In addition to casting a curse on me, she also sent four Calidas to guard the jungle to prevent me from escaping from this sad place."

"In the end, the most vicious thing that old witch did to me was to cast magic to project the fear in my heart into reality, manifesting as four evil goblins named 'weak monsters'!"

"This group of goblins has occupied my lair, and they come out to harass me every dark and attack me, and I almost go crazy from the torment!"

"Hey! Good-hearted lady mage, now I have nowhere to go. I beg you and your friends to show kindness and help poor Dimitri drive away those hateful bullies!"

"I would like to swear to the gods that I will do my best to repay your kindness!"

Seeing the lion pleading, Gao Fei asked in a low voice if Ma Yun had received the next task reminder.

"Received! Brother Fei, Sister Feng! The main task of the next stage is to help the cowardly lion repel the weak monsters, and then break into the weak monsters' lair through the goblin passage."

"Then prepare to fight."

The last rays of the setting sun faded into the sky, and night fell over the woods.

In the dark cave, there was a strange movement.

It seemed to be the roar of a lion, and it was also like the strange cry of an owl, and then came the smirk of the old witch.

"Wow! It's Ivanola's laughter! And Calidas' strange cry!"

Dimitri panicked at the sound from the cave.

"These voices are all made by bullying monsters. It's too scary, too scary! What should I do, those horrible goblins will definitely kill me tonight!"

"It's so noisy! Coward, shut your mouth!" Ma Yun gave the lion a fierce look, "I ask, you answer, understand?"

Scared by her, the lion curled up into a ball and nodded repeatedly.

"Ivanola has been crushed to death by my cabin, what is Calidas?"

"They are the most ferocious monsters in this jungle, even more ferocious than lions!" Dimitri replied tremblingly.

"Compared to a lion like you, a raccoon is more ferocious." Nick the Tin Woodman complained coldly.

But with the strange laughter that fluctuated up and down, four monsters rushed out of the cave.

With flowing golden manes, they looked at first glance like small lions, but their faces were constantly changing, now they were the faces of the old witch Ivanora, and now they were the faces of owls.

These evil goblins, born of fear, seem to be able to steal the host's memory and transform into the image they fear most.

With a hint of curiosity, Gao Fei opened the astrolabe to investigate this group of strange-looking guys.
