Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: 016: A Whole New World

Avery’s expression seemed a bit unnatural, and her gaze slightly avoided Lynch’s when their eyes met.

But she quickly adjusted and regained her composure.

She avoided looking into Lynch’s eyes and instead turned her head to examine the surrounding environment, asking weakly, "Where are we now?"

Lynch replied, "A mountain cave."

He paused and glanced at Avery’s expression, somewhat unsure if she actually remembered what had happened earlier.

After some thought, he decided to explain, "You just fainted and suffered hypothermia; I tried to..."

"Got it!"

A blush spread across Avery’s cheeks, quickly running along her pale neck. Hastily changing the subject, she said, "There’s no need to go into such irrelevant details; let’s talk about the situation. Where are we now?"

Irrelevant? It nearly cost your life, come on!

Lynch nodded and continued, "We’re roughly at the front section of the Ice Sealed Mountain Range, about 200 kilometers from where we entered the mountains."

There’s still 1800 kilometers left to the Dark Forest.

Avery slowly stood up from the ground. It was clear she was still very weak, even swaying slightly as she rose.

She walked to the edge of the cave and looked out at the wind and snow.

Then, she frowned and asked, "We can’t move forward?"

Lynch shrugged, "If you pass out again, I might not be able to wake you up this time."

Avery paused in silence.

Soon, she returned to the fire pit and sat down again.

Another round of silence.

Neither of them spoke by the fire pit, and even Parker had run deeper into the cave. The atmosphere was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Finally.

Avery couldn’t hold back any longer, awkwardly saying, "Aren’t you... going to cultivate?"

Lynch said, "Just finished a round of meditation."

He also found it uncomfortable to sit there doing nothing with her, but he wasn’t sure how to change the subject.

As the tension grew in the room, suddenly.

"Boom!" A muffled sound came from deeper inside the cave.

Both of them froze.

Lynch stood up and said, "I’ll go take a look."

Avery also stood up immediately, "I’ll go with you. Don’t worry about me. Aside from feeling weak, I’m perfectly fine now."

Lynch nodded, "Alright."

The two walked deeper into the cave together. About fifty meters in, they arrived at the cave’s end.

Here, Parker had its mouth open, spraying Flame Breath onto the cave wall. The earlier booming sound came from the flames hitting the wall.

When Parker saw Lynch approaching, it stopped breathing fire, then circled the wall, chirping incessantly.

Is there something here?

Lynch walked over curiously to inspect the wall, and after a closer look, he quickly noticed something unusual.

There was a door here!

Yes, embedded in the wall was a stone gate.

Exchanging glances, Lynch and Avery simultaneously spoke the same word: "Ruins!"

Finding a man-made stone gate in a snow-covered cave like this could only mean they’d stumbled upon the legendary ruins.

This wasn’t surprising, given the world had a history spanning tens of thousands of years, with countless Wizards having existed.
