Chapter 20 (2/2)

But Loren still found something on the ground - from the entrance of the tomb to the outside floor, it was obvious that some footprints extended from the cave. These footprints are small for people, but according to the ghoul's physique, they are perfect.

Most importantly, from the number of footprints, it is definitely not one or two, but at least a whole group. Loren, squatting outside the cave, narrowed his eyes into a slit. The number of these monsters was really more than he expected.

”Well, did you find anything?” the panting priest Draco couldn't help asking, ”are those ghouls in this tomb?”

”You'd better go back first.” Lauren said to the priest behind him without looking back. ”I'll give it to me here. Don't worry, I'll go back to you as soon as I make progress.”

”But... It's too dangerous!” the priest couldn't help but say, ”if those ghouls are really in this tomb, we should wait here for reinforcements! Or at least two people...”

”Believe me, I'm enough alone. If there are others, it may be bad.” as he said, Loren pulled out the knight's long sword on his back: ”go back and wait for my news.”

”Er... Well, if you insist.” priest Draco stopped arguing, but still couldn't help looking back and reminding Loren again and again: ”you can come to me at any time. If I'm not here, I'll arrange others. May the Holy Cross bless you forever, friend!”

”The Holy Cross bless me, ha ha...” Lauren smiled innocently at the corners of his mouth. Even a ”strange boy” he met looked more reliable than the Holy Cross.

With his long sword, Loren stepped into the dark tomb. The strong smell of corpse and blood almost came to his face, as if he were standing in the mouth of a monster.

With a snap of his fingers, the white glowing ”firefly curse” floated above him, only illuminating a short section of the road ahead, so that he would not lose his vision and disturb the monsters in the cave.

He will never touch anything he doesn't want to touch until he is fully prepared, especially when he realizes that he may face a trap.

From the moment Dalton kand gave himself the task, he had a serious sense of disharmony from head to foot - a church hostile to wizards and ghouls attacking living people. It was hard for him to believe that there was nothing hidden behind the two things.

Even if not, he will never face a group of strange monsters unprepared - no matter how many times he has seen them in books, as long as he has not seen them with his own eyes, these monsters are still strange to himself. Caution and caution are always the premise of life protection.

The deeper you go into the tomb, the stronger the smell of blood, which is obviously very abrupt in a long abandoned tomb. Loren began to slow down his pace, controlled to weaken the brightness of the ”firefly curse”, made his eyes gradually adapt to the darkness in the tomb, and reduced the possibility that he would be found first.

Dark vision is one of the advantages of ghouls, a scavenging monster, and their hearing and smell are also very good. They can be found even if they are covered with mud.

Carefully step down and try not to step on the scattered bones on the ground - skull, ribs, arm bones... There is nothing left, and there are only piles of bone debris on the ground. The coffins on both sides of the tomb were also messy and completely destroyed.

If these can't explain the problem, there is a more and more clear and creepy chewing sound in his ears... Lauren stopped, stood in place, carefully extended his right hand to the backpack on his back, took out a small wooden bottle, weighed it in his hand, and the corner of his mouth tilted a proud arc slightly.

How can you step into the trap of others without any preparation?
