Chapter 41 (2/2)

A light ball floated ahead and directed the way for them.

The tunnel sloped. They were highly anxious, but they did not meet any danger before they reached the end of the channel.

Their horizon was widened, and they saw an underground s.p.a.ce.

“Why is there nothing here?” asked Betta in confusion.

The s.p.a.ce was not large. One could see everything with a quick glance.

Nothing was here except brownish mud.

“Besides, the stench here is much weaker,” said Roland. “Let’s search the place. There may be hidden doors or something.”

The two of them searched for a while, and Betta suddenly said, “Brother Roland, look here!”

Roland walked over and looked at where Betta was pointing.

The mud there looked regular, but a little bit fresher than the mud nearby.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, the tiny difference would’ve been neglected, but Roland and Betta were searching for hidden doors, so they easily noticed the anomaly.

Two Hands of Magic were summoned and began to dig into the mud.

“There’s indeed something wrong.” Roland controlled the Hand of Magic and said, “The mud is unusually soft.”

Betta stepped forward and was ready for battle.

Soon, Roland dug through the wall, and a black hole appeared before them. A disgusting smell embraced them.

Roland widened the hole with the Hands of Magic and moved a light ball inside.

Then, both of them paled.

Many corpses were scattered in the room.

Most of the corpses were dry bones, but two were still recognizably human.

Both of them were naked women.

One of them was rotten, with tremendous maggots slithering within the flesh.

The other corpse had a stab wound on the left side of the chest, but the blood there was already dry.

Roland and Betta realized what happened after a quick look.

Bas*ard!

Betta gasped, but suddenly squatted and threw up.

Roland clenched his fists. He felt like vomiting, too, but he managed to hold it back.

His face tightened. He walked into the cave and observed the fresh body of the girl.

This should be the target they were looking for, because she had been highlighted by the system.

We’re too late! Roland was both angry and helpless. It was possible that the girl was already dead when they accepted the quest.

Who was brutal enough to have done this?

At this moment, a notification suddenly came.

Quest accomplished. EXP +184.

Like anyone cares about the quest right now!

Roland cursed in his heart. He took off his magic robe and covered the girl. He was about to bury the girl elsewhere, when he suddenly noticed that the girl was still warm and not rigid yet!

Logically, her body should’ve stiffened if she was dead for such a long time!

Could she be…

Roland put his finger before the girl’s nose. Then, he sensed her feeble breath.

F*ck!!!

Roland roared and picked up the girl carefully but rapidly. He rushed out of the cave, only to discover that Betta was still gagging. He immediately kicked the young man.

Roland shouted, “What are you doing? Carry her now! She’s alive! You’re stronger and faster as a half-warrior! Take her back to the city, to a doctor!”
