Soon enough, the two found the back entrance of the cave, a large quicksand pit hidden beneath a massive dirt mound. The earth dragon seems to have hidden it well. So well, in fact, that plants started growing on the mound, masking it pretty well with the foliage of the forest.
"Are you sure we won't trigger any trap by messing with the mound?" Ganta asked with a worried face as she crouched beside the mound and reached toward one tiny red flower.
"You're right. The quicksand pin below is trapped. It must be deactivated from the inside. The magic barrier also checks for mana waves and is a bit more complicated. Wait here, I'll teleport inside, disarm it, and come back for you." Arad lept out of her cleavage and disappeared into thin air. Seeing him leave, Ganta felt a shiver run down her spine.
