The only saving grace might be that, due to the increased size, the caves that these giant rats had breached also became larger—the only one who couldn't enjoy this advantage was that, as a nearly two-meter-tall giant, he had to constantly bend down and use the door panels that served as shields to push and shove from side to side in order to barely move forward slowly.
There might not be any flammable gases inside the cave, but just in case, I still covered the cold fireball I used for lighting with a thin film of water. Although this slightly reduced the range of light, it at least improved the safety factor.
The sharp, intermittent squeals of rodents echoed from ahead.
My senses seemed to be greatly suppressed in this underground cave, which made me very uncomfortable. I could only frown and barely manage to keep them about two meters away from the group.
Hopefully, this short distance will be enough for me to react and set up a defensive barrier before the giant rats that might appear.
Then, everything in front of me suddenly became open and spacious.
Just before we were about to step inside, Sheng stopped us first. After making a few gestures that we had agreed on beforehand and receiving everyone's approval, he stepped forward again.
With the mountain as the vanguard, the three behind him spread out in a semi-circle. We cautiously looked around and saw a scene that was almost no different from before.
The same giant rat carcass, still convulsing despite being cut open, and the same numerous sword marks left on the surrounding walls.
Except for the absence of the vibrant color scattered across the large patches of blood, everything else seemed to be a replica of what had just been seen in the passage.
However, there is still one difference.
Among the giant rat carcasses scattered like fallen petals, the crazed man in the black trench coat we had seen once before was standing with his back to us, flicking the blood off his straight sword, making it form a crescent-shaped arc, before slowly putting it away.
He seemed to notice us approaching, but instead of turning around to look at us, he intended to walk directly forward along the only path in front of him.
"etc!"
But Sheng did not choose to let him go.
Because we all know that even if we let him go here, we will still run into each other in subsequent operations, and there is a high probability that this will lead to conflict.
Everything needs to be resolved here first.
A crisis must be nipped in the bud.
Oh no, my mom seems to have hepatitis B, help me!
