Chapter 93 - Threat Underground (1/2)

”So what do you think must have happened to the owner of the body” asked one of the Triplett.

”I don't know, when I take a look at the body, I didn't find any beast marking on it and since it was dismembered, it would be difficult to identify the cause of its death” replied the eldest of the Triplett.

”Maybe they have started fighting each other the moment they made it to this part since the ruin will be very close” suggested Jason.

”I don't think that should be the case. If it were to be a fight, you would be able to tell with one glance through how messing the surrounding will be” replied the eldest of the Triplett.

”I guess you are right about that” said Jason after observing the area but was not able to find any sign of fighting.

While he was observing the area, Jason took note of a piece of cloth that was pinned to a tree as he went to pick it up before looking around again.

”The owner of the body is from the Platton family” said Jason after seeing the color of the piece which is blue.

”Let's go forward and you all will have to be careful since we don't know what is happening here” commanded the eldest of the Triplett as he took a step forward.

The group continued with their journey and after walking for a while, they saw another body along the way which belong to a member of the phoenix family, and just like the previous one, they were not able to identify what caused its death. Deciding to ignore the body since it's of no use to them, the team continues with their journey, and this time they were not able to see any dead body along the which clarifies Jason's motion of it being caused by a fight.

Since there was nobody, the team just concluded that it should have been caused by something else and they have dealt with it but all that change when they walk into an area that was filled with five dead bodies belonging to every family.

”This is really strange. How come there is a body to each family here” asked the eldest with a frown on his face.

”Maybe they were sent to get rid of what is causing all this death” suggested Jason.

”If that is the case, then it is likely that whatever that is causing all this death is very powerful. I pray we don't come in contact with it” said the eldest of the Triplett.

”Yeah, for all five members to lose their life while trying to stop it, it is likely going to be an ancient beast that is keeping guard over the ruin” suggested the bracelet who was also curious about the mysterious death.

”Do you think it was caused by an ancient beast” asked Jason with a shocking look on his face.

”Probably since there is no sign of a beast marking on them, it must be a powerful beast who has gained intelligence” replied the bracelet.

”If it is really the handy work of a beast, then I am not interested in going into the ruin” said Jason since they couldn't come on top in a fight against the beast, there is no need to think if he will be able to do it.

”Relax boy, I am only saying due to the fact that there is no sign left behind by what is doing all this” replied the bracelet in a chuckle.

After going through the bodies and was not able to see anything, the group begin to move ahead until they get to an area that the other family members are as they were just standing still not even daring to make a move which was strang but they still decided to ask.

”What are you guys doing just standing there, have you all finally given upon entering the ruin” asked the eldest of the Triplett as he took a step forward.

”Don't come near just stay where you are if you still plan to keep your life” yell Diana in concern.

”What is going on here” asked the eldest of the Triplett with a frown on his face.

”There seems to be a beast underground that only moves through sound” replied Diana.

”So you guys are just going to stand there all because of a beast that is underground” said Jason in surprise at how they are standing when they could just look for the beast and kill.

”I believe you saw those dead bodies on your way coming here you moron, do you think they are weak when they decided to put their life on the line just so we can understand its pattern” replied Adam in anger.
