บท 230: Cave

As the dark night continued Daedalus, Danforth and Rudra sat around the campfire Daedalus had made.

In the deafening silence of the night the deep voice of Danforth could be heard. It was a story of an uncountable number of geniuses, Gods and demons and the powers both of those man-made and naturally formed clashing.

As Danforth continued to tell the story about the massive and grand battle, Daedalus found himself awed at just how powerful these people where. Through this story Daedalus also came to realise that they likely wouldn't be the only ones going to that planet.

There where millions if not billions of organisations that would covet that planets advanced cultivation system. So Daedalus knew he would have to be prepared for anything, this of course included the possibility of someone bringing a servant who was able to protect them or kill anyone who bothered them.

This thought caused Daedalus to feel apprehensive and so a few hours later when Danforth's story was finished Daedalus asked them "What if there are other cultivators from different worlds also going, and what if some of them bring servants that can kill us with ease after we reverse our cultivation?"

Danforth chuckled at this and said "That's the thing, there is a formation surrounding the planet that stops you from staying beyond a certain cultivation, that is of course not including those who gained their strength on the planet."

Daedalus sighed in relief at Danforth's words and decided it was probably time that they all went to sleep. They had a long two months of which Daedalus didn't plan to waste. Now he knew that it would be best to just live in a cave while they are on the new planet, only when they where at least moderately strong would Daedalus dare to go to any cities that may exist.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The night passed quickly and soon the first rays of the morning sun burst through the canopy onto their small camp. Daedalus was the first to wake and he immediately got to work on a project he was interested in testing in case they could do it on the new planet.

Sadly he couldn't test it's full capabilities currently as he didn't have access to the cultivation necessary to make a formation. Luckily it wasn't completely necessary as the project was that of an artificial cave that they could live in. He had a feeling that the earth could at least slightly dampen the spiritual senses of any experts, and if Daedalus hid the entrance well enough they likely wouldn't even bother using their senses on some dirt.

So for the next few hours Daedalus spent his time slowly digging into the earth beneath his shelter from the first night. Eventually Danforth and Rudra awakened to the noise of Daedalus digging, however after a quick conversation the two of them went off to deal with their own roles in this. Rudra as usual went fishing while Danforth went into the woods to find any sturdy sticks or logs from small trees so that Daedalus could support his tunnel.
