>>5446080Guang continues to follow the gold adorned serpent into the cave while Xil clears her eyes. She can hear the hooves moving on rocks now.
Her eyes are finally cleared of dust.
She is in a cave filled with transparent crystal pillars that pierce through the darkness with their reflection of the gold adorned serpent.
As Guang jumps from pillar to pillar to catch up with the rest of the racers, she can faintly hear the cries from these crystals.
These are crystallized tears of the wicked sinners being tortured in this sector.
Seems like even the most cold blooded ones can still break. She hears that some occultists use this for spells or enchantments.
Following the trails of broken left behind by the other contestants, she descends into a lake of freezing cold tears. At it’s bottom are glowing crystalized tears which glow a bright turquoise and countless piles of crushed up bones, unable to be recognized as anything more than flakes of white.
In front of her are mangled bones which fused into a bridge that leads to a pathway upwards.
As her horse runs across the bridge, she sees the flute using goblin she encountered earlier lying on the bridge, wet and exhausted. Multiple glowing crystals are attached to the edges of the wings. Must’ve gotten stuck on them when he entered the lake.
As he begins to get up, a swarm of small chunks of bones begins emerging from the water. The flakes of bones is reconstructing itself into spikes.
Xil decides to..
>>Run past him This is a race, after all.
Helping him won’t make her leave hell faster.
>>Bend Time - snatch those glowing crystallized tears from the goblinMight as well get some additional reward.
>>Pick him upHe’s a (somewhat) nice person, going out of his way to deflect your shot to keep other racers from slowing down, and yet, no one was willing to help him.
