The tunnel is smooth and long. It seems completely straight.

  After an undefined amount of time there is suddenly a somewhat smaller tunnel leading to the right.

  The smaller tunnel is like normal rock. It isn’t as smooth as the first one.

  The qi vision is still completely black. And the cave has neither air movement nor even the tiniest speck of light.

  Probably the beast eating every previous person and smoothing out the tunnel is straight ahead. And it looks big and dangerous. Because of that Lie Mo goes to the right.

  Along this new tunnel is an entire network of tunnels. And the further he goes the more lively it gets.

  At first there are some glowing mosses. Then follow the insects. And then follow rats and bats. And a lot of small but weird creatures. And the floor seems to be leading down.

  At least he is now capable of seeing.

  This is the perfect opportunity to learn the resistance to a hundred poisons.

  The essence of this manual is to eat poisoned food in small doses and distributing the poison throughout the entire body.

  Afterwards follows the cleaning of the body with qi.

  All the creatures down here seem to contain poison. And the entire food chain starts from the glowing moss.

  The cave system down here contains several flooded caverns.

  Food and water is sparse but it is available. At least for the people who are resistant to poisons.

  After several perceived days Lie Mo is immune to the poison. He cleans his body anyways since the poison is preventing him from meditating in the most efficient way.

  After another few days the glowing moss is replaced with other glowing plants. Those are more potent and more nutritious. And because of that the animals get bigger.

  There are even small rat-like beasts.

  Compared to his strength they are nothing. Fighting like a hundred animals makes him fight off even large numbers of them. By now he also started to train in the iron skin.

  Fighting like a hundred animals, iron skin and vitality breath are making him just as strong as one of the medium strength beasts from the wild hills.

  After a while he get’s used to the new level of poison and he reaches a new scenery. The plants get even more potent and more nutritious. On this floor the animals start to be on par with him. At least the beast groups.

  Because of that he has to be more careful to move around.

  His favorite animal on this floor is something that looks like a small dog with pointy ears. There is only one reason. It’s the first animal down here that tastes good. It is poisonous as well but he does not care. Detoxifying his body is part of his eating routine by now.

  After a few perceived days he reaches the next scenery. But Lie Mo isn’t ready to enter it at the moment. The danger level is too high for him. So he lives on the edge for quite a while. After several weeks he is used to the toxin levels of the next scenery, but the beasts are just too strong.

  There are a lot of snake monsters on the next level. And they all have at least the strength of a medium strength beasts from the wild hills. That is just something Lie Mo can’t deal with at the moment.

  Now Lie Mo has two options. Either he trains until he can overcome the next level. But who knows how many levels there are to this cave? And who knows what is at the bottom of this cave?

  The other option is to backtrack and hopefully find the surface again.

  After a bit of pondering Lie Mo decides to explore this entire scenery. Getting stronger and possibly finding something useful might be the best course of action for now.
