Chapter 109: Unveiling the Secret, The Culprit (1)
Squeak.
Seeing that Leo is determined to find its secret, the white rabbit reveals a squeaking sound of determination as its body suddenly glows with silver light...
The next second, another two white rabbits materialize beside it.
Confusingly, there's no difference between the three white rabbits, causing Leo to fall under confusion. However, looking at the single brown sack behind them, he could assume that they couldn't create illusions other than them.
The rabbit could only create an illusion of itself!
"Are you really not going to confess?" Leo asks seriously as he ponders whether to activate his Domain or not.
However, thinking that the white rabbit never tried something malicious toward him in the past few days even though he was completely alone here without the help of the group... Leo decided to give up the idea, wanting to unveil its secret without killing.
Squeak...
The white rabbit shook its head as it flashed with silver light, instantly consuming everything in the surroundings with intense silver light... Causing Leo to close his eyes due to pain.
This...
Soon, after a second, the silver light slowly retracted, showing the empty house devoid of any white rabbits or brown sacks beyond.
"It managed to escape!'
Leo thought solemnly before revealing a weak smile on his face, moving toward one of the places.
"Hehehe, unfortunately, if you just left that sack... You might be able to escape.
However, why are you hell-bent on dragging the sack? The smell of herbs is extremely strong, especially to the senses of potion maker!"
Leo chuckles as he follows the fragrance of the herbs, pointing toward the kitchen of the wooden house.
Ehh? There's no one here?
Leo raised his brows in surprise upon seeing that the kitchen was empty, however, after sniffing the air within, the faint fragrance of the herbs immediately entered his senses...
Weird...
He silently thought as he followed the scent below, beneath the wooden table...
"This, a hidden room/bunker?" Leo thought upon seeing a metal handle connected to a wooden door on the floor.
Moving the table away, Leo stared at the small door frame on the floor in surprise... If not for the white rabbit, he believed that he might not be able to see it after months of staying here.
"So, this is where it goes every time it disappears huh?"
...
Thud...
Pulling the metal handle, the door on the floor slowly opened, revealing the complete darkness within, the depths of it couldn't be seen...
On the side, he could slightly see the broken wooden ladder that the old owner of the house used to descend (Although uncertain, Leo thinks of it that way).
Summoning the pure white flame within his palm, Leo shot it toward the depths, illuminating the surrounding space as it descended slowly... Soon after a second while, the flame created a low popping sound akin to a bursting balloon upon hitting the ground below, causing Leo to sigh in relief upon learning that it wasn't that deep.
"At least 2.5 meters, it should be fine if I jump within..."
Leo thought as he took a deep long breath, bending his knee slightly before jumping below the pit without hesitation.
Thud.
The soft earth below caves in due to the force and weight of Leo, slightly causing him to lose his balance before his butt hit the soft ground beyond...
Crackkkk...
Suddenly, upon hitting the ground beyond him, a crisp sound of something breaking entered his senses, causing him to jump in shock.
Immediately summoning his Divine Flame of Life, Leo quickly looked at his back only for his gray eyes to constrict greatly.
Beyond him, on the ground that was covered in thick dust and soil, Leo could see a protruding cracked white skeleton... Silently consumed by time.
However, if it was the only thing he saw, Leo wouldn't have reacted exaggeratedly...
Beyond or the be exact, in the whole surrounding of this dark cave, he could see the densely packed skeletons being buried by dust...
Forming a small mountain of gray skeletons.
This... This cemetery is not simple!
Leo suddenly felt chills within him, quite sure that the skeletons around could number at least tens of thousands.
Couldn't imagine what kind of secrets it hid in the past...
...
Crack. Crack.
As Leo was carefully moving forward, the soil or to be exact, the skeletons buried beneath his feet continuously issued a cracking sound, increasing the uneasiness within Leo's consciousness.
"This is Madness, This cemetery couldn't accumulate that much bones... If I guess correctly... No, there's no need to guess, I'm sure that this place was a slaughterhouse in the past! And the cemetery above is just a facade/disguise!"
"This is sickening..."
Leo thought as he walked forward into the depths of the cave, quite curious about where the cave would lead him.

Squeak... Squeak~~
A hundred meters away from Leo, within the cave, the white rabbit excitedly gnaws the fruit within its paws, revealing a relished expression on its face.
Crack...
Squeak!
As it was eating its fifth fruit, a sudden sound of cracking sound echoed meters away from it, causing it to pause on its eating as it stared in the distance warily.
"A rabbit?"
A man with maddened eyes stared at the white rabbit in the distance with killing intent within... On his hand, a severed head of a woman could be seen, dripping with blood as it leaves a trail behind.
"You... Don't tell me you're the culprit behind the disappearance of those fruits and herbs in the town?" The man, as if thinking of something, revealed an amused expression on his face as he unhurriedly scanned the level of white rabbit meters away from him.
Hmm, level 19 of the Foundation realm!
"This... No wonder they haven't caught you."
The man laughs heartily as he releases the severed head from his grasp before rushing toward the white rabbit in the distance with dense killing intent...
Unfortunately, you saw me... I couldn't let you live even if you're a beast!
Bang!
