Under the illumination of the light ball at the tip of Ariel’s magic wand, Leo Ray discovered upon further inspection.
The environment here was quite tidy, but the air was filled with a strange mixture of earth and dampness.
Leo Ray had smelled this odor before in the long-sealed Elf Underground City.
Apart from that, there was nothing worth noting within the large stone hall.
At the end of this underground hall, there were two passages, one on the left and one on the right.
The left passageway was unobstructed and showed no signs of any problems.
However, the right passage was covered with shattered bricks, appearing to be in a mess.
“Princess, when I last came to this entrance of the underground city, the right passage was completely sealed. It was said that due to some serious collapse issues, it had been closed off a long time ago,” Burt bowed and said to Ariel. “The left passage, on the other hand, leads to a normal shelter.”
Looking at the shattered bricks with fresh traces, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
By now, the situation was quite clear.
Undoubtedly, those who had arrived earlier had broken through the barriers and entered the long-sealed right passage.
“I understand, let’s go.”
Ariel, with a resolute expression, nodded and led the way into the chaotic right passageway, accompanied by the two Kingdom Generals.
Continuing to follow Ariel and the others, Leo Ray noticed the passageway was unusually wide and straight, seemingly endless, and could likely accommodate the passage of five to six people side by side.
Looking around, the area was covered with dense cobwebs and thick dust, vastly different from the tidy underground hall they had just seen. It appeared that no one had come here for a very long time.
However, judging from the fresh, disorderly footprints on the ground and the piles of debris that had been cleared away by magic every once in a while,
The intruders who had come before them had undoubtedly helped clear the path for their group.
“Lord, the footprints and smells here are very chaotic. The situation may be even more complicated than we thought…” After about five minutes of rapid walking, Bianca’s crisp voice reached Leo Ray’s ears.
“So, there might be more than one group of intruders ahead?”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray couldn’t help but show an interested expression.
“Lord, I can also sense that ahead of us, there are faintly two different energy fluctuations. However, due to the presence of an extremely large unknown energy field deep within this place,”
Taylor’s rugged voice reached Leo Ray’s ears: “It causes the energy in the air to circulate chaotically. In addition, both of the different energy fluctuations have used concealing methods, especially the second one with quite clever means. So, for now, it is impossible to determine their exact strength.”
“I see, things are getting more interesting. It seems that the second force is also tracking the first one.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
At this time, everyone in their group wore Concealment Rings.
The auras of Ariel and her two companions were also clearly concealed, almost undetectable.
This showed that even Taylor, a Tier 5 Powerhouse, couldn’t sense the strength of the other party.
Therefore, the two intruding parties, who were even closer to the mysterious energy field, would naturally be even less likely to detect their presence.
“I wonder what kind of expression the second force will make when they find that there is a third force, us, behind them?”
“However, it’s easy to imagine that the most unlucky ones are the first force ahead. I’m afraid they could never imagine that they are actually paving the way for the two groups behind them.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but curl his lips.
And so, the group continued to follow this long passageway forward.
Not long after, they emerged from the hallway and arrived in a relatively smaller hall.
At this point, Leo Ray noticed that at the end of the hall was another newly destroyed wall.
Behind the wall was a significantly narrower and deeper passage.
Furthermore, faint magic still seemed to linger around the passage entrance.
“Lord, there was a magic restriction here not long ago,” Wendy Grace said as Gideon Black stepped forward, bowed, and told Leo Ray.
“So it has been broken by the other party already? I must say, it has saved us quite a bit of trouble along the way.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ariel’s group, who were also observing the area nearby.
After a moment of concentration, Taylor bowed and said, “My Lord, we are now not far from the strange energy field ahead, and the two intruding parties also seem to have stopped one after another not far from the energy field up front.”
