408 Mirri Part One (1/2)

”Well, it is to be expected. The sun does not reach here. Although it is cooler, the humidity is also higher. If we did not have cultivations of any kind we would be sweating more than you think.” Alicia explained.

”Thank god I hate being sticky and sweaty.” Rose complained.

”Anyway let's go, the entrance is deeper inside.” Alicia said. She did not want to hang around in the dark. The gloomy surroundings were never fun to be in.

The group walked in until they found the hole in the ground that led to the tunnels below. It now had a ladder that led down but Alicia and her group still jumped down since it was quicker. The tunnels were now lit up properly down below. They did not put any lighting in the main cave in order to keep the place hidden from others. Even the drop down point only had its natural lighting. It was a little way down where the lights installed.

The statue was also placed back over the entrance that led down to the city. Alicia waved her hand moving it to the side. They climbed down like normal and exited into the city. ”Is it just me nor does the air here feel eerie?” Annelia said as she hugged herself. She felt a weird air within the city.

”No, this is….” Alicia also felt something about the air but she couldn't place her finger on it.

”Isn't this Chaos qi?” Blake suddenly said.

”Now that you mention it, yeah it is… Just very thin. But the air feels hot as well...” Alicia could feel the hotness in the air.

”You have finally come…” A female voice suddenly filled Alicia's mind.

”Huh? Who are you?” Alicia asked out loud, causing everyone to turn and look at her.

”Alicia?” Blake looked at Alicia concerned.

Alicia raised her hand and motioned that everything was alright. She then heard the voice in her head again. ”I have waited many years for this seal to be broken...”

Not really getting the answer she wanted but hearing the words seal, Alicia had an idea of who was calling out to her. ”You all explore the city. I will be right back.”

”Is it the spirit?” Loeri asked. She could also hear the voice due to her connection with Alicia.
