Chapter 167 - Lenny Steel (2/2)

”Maybe not, it might be best to give the letter to Wilfred or Sir K, heck even Von and see if any of them recognise the handwriting,” Gary said. ”If not, there's no way to prove who wrote the letter in the first place.”

The group continued to move forward and tunnels started to branch off once again in different directions. They were no longer underneath the Dragon knights Statues. Ray could only assume that the Red aura he had seen underneath was the Slime Snake they had encountered.

But Ray was determined to carry on through the tunnels in hope, he could find something. If the man who had died holding the letter regularly used these tunnels as a route, it meant he had to be heading somewhere.

Ray's dragon's eyes worked as normal down the tunnels which suggested that the Slime Snake had an ability to conceal its aura which meant it was indeed a powerful beast. Even Ray wasn't sure if he would be able to defeat it with his current power.

As the group continued to move forward, they went past many mining tools laid out on the floor.

”These must have been left behind from the people who made these tunnels,” Gary said.

”Yeah but the question is why were they left down here?” Badger replied

As they continued walking, they were met with several more Iron doors. They had learnt from Wilfred that these doors were created once Beasts started to navigate through them and started to attack towns and cities.

But after unlocking another iron door instead of the cave-like wall that they had been seeing so far, they now were looking at a hallway that had been carved out perfectly using stone. The floor was no longer bumpy and was made of stone slabs similar to the wall.

Jack with no hesitation started to walk through.

”Be careful Jack, we don't want the same thing happening again,” Ray said.

Jack nodded and this time the group started to walk through the stone tunnel carefully. As the group started to walk forward Badger managed to walk on top of a wobbly tile.

In that instant, a creature with a monkey-like body and fangs of a snake burst up from the loose slab. Gary immediately sliced the creature's head off with a single swing of his sword. The beast's head continued to roll on the ground while its body was now lifeless.

Badger's eyes looked like they were about to pop from his head.

”You're welcome,” Gary said.

As the group continued walking, they encountered many small creatures through the cave but none of them were higher than a basic tier and they dealt with them easily.

Finally, they had come across once again another Iron door. Ray placed his hand on the door and the Iron door opened to reveal a large round room.

Light crystal technology had been used in the room so they were able to see everything clearly.

”Just what in the world is going on here!” Gary said as he stared at multiple human bodies, that had been chained down to tables.
