Chapter 541 - Deep Underground (2/2)

“As a Travel Merchant, this isn’t the first tiency situation,” Rhode’s expression gloomed He lowered his head and released Eretful and disappointed because she felt as though she had lost a reliable support that she had been looking for for a long time “I’m sorry, Miss Emily I never expected that there would be such ferocious creatures here If I noticed it earlier, your esteemed father wouldn’t be…”

“…” Emily fell into silence She refused to recall what had happened However, Rhode’s words harshly dragged her back to reality That’s right She was here because this ‘Miss Seren’ had insisted to check on the situation after hearing about the rumors She and her father entered the mine with ‘Miss Seren’ and they faced such an incident Now, her father had died, while she was trapped in this dark underground ht

Emily clenched her fists and bit her lips so hard that bleed a little She had never thought that it would be this easy to part with someone so dear forever Her father as just with her o had left the world for eternity and she had never predicted that she would fall into this crisis E on the hot red tea in the breezyto be a successful Travel Merchant But now, she was stained with round Emily realized for the first time how easily a serene and peaceful life could be destroyed just like that

“No… This isn’t your fault, Miss Seren” Eradually and shook her head The pain of losing her kin continued to haunt her Although this young lady before her was indeed the main culprit who had caused the death of her father and landed her into this plight, Emily believed that she didn’t do it intentionally Besides…

“It was us ere too careless and negligent Sorry, Miss Seren In fact, Father has heard about the strange happenings going on in the ate the cause If we carried out investigations promptly, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened…”

“There are no ifs in this world, Miss Ee the past and the only thing we can do now is to not let down the things that have happened We pay a huge price for our mistakes, but we also learn from them so on’t commit the same mistake… Lift up your head, Miss Eazed at the beautiful face before her

Even though they were in a dusky tunnel, ‘Miss Seren’s’ face calh her presence had turned the darkness into nothing terrifying at all She nodded withdown her cheeks She stood to her feet and displayed a stiff set on the way… If not, the creatures will be back”

“It’s great that you think of it this way, Miss Eentle ser hilt hidden in his skirt “Let’s go”

All the paths in the underground mine were as complex as Emily had mentioned The miners excavated this place likeout multiple tunnels Some of the tunnels were interconnected while some led to dead ends Even miners were unsure of the exact number of tunnels that they had excavated However, this wasn’t a problem for Rhode Before the Stone Giant had self-destructed, Rhode chose this tunnel as he kneould lead them to a path where the Earth Elemental seal was Of course, Rhode had his fair share of dizziness when he first entered thistile tunnel underneath Fiat at his fingertips after clearing this dungeon several tiroup He could identify which tunnel would lead to dead ends, treasure chests, hidden BOSSes, and rare Elites After all, the ‘Walking Library’ had a deserved reputation

Of course, Rhode couldn’t act like it was a walk in the park in front of Emily After all, the excavation of mine followed many conditions and rules It would be too suspicious if an outsider like Rhode was familiar with a mine that he had entered for the first time

Before the Stone Giant self-destructed, Rhode had sent Celia out of the mine With Celia and Celestina around, he wasn’t worried that he would miss out on any first-hand information In fact, Rhode had communicated with Celia while Eel informed him that the explosion had blocked off the tunnel completely The Edward Trade association had also dispatchedto the miners, the intense explosion had caused the ile Thetime before they could clear the blocked tunnel and rescue them This was exactly what Rhode needed If not, ould he even need to put up such a shoith his abilities?

And now, his mission was about to be accomplished The mine had been sealed off and the Chaironer It would take a while before Eh she had accepted her fate Granted that they finally settled all these troubles, perhaps the outco’s Party and Reforn for Rhode But he couldn’t let down his guard yet because he had a much more important problem to resolve, and that ho exactly ‘awakened’ the Earth Elemental Spirit

As a player, Rhode knew about the sealed Earth Eleines had no inkling at all and it was i the underground creature If not, Edould’ve done sos in the mine The Earth Elemental Spirit wouldn’t awake by itself and Rhode kne strong the seal was It was as strong as a safe and unless one deliberately crowbarred it open, there were no other ways to unlock it If one were to say that the seal had loosened itself… Even ghosts wouldn’t believe it

Rhode refused to believe that this was coincidental He wished to find out the hidden truth about who exactly awakened the Earth Elemental Spirit and the person’s motive

Both of theroundin the quiet tunnel The creatures that launched attacks on theh they never existed Eed onto Rhode’s sleeves She wasn’t as nervous as before, but she felt a little giddy after spinning around the si tunnels…

“Miss Seren? What are we…” Emily broke the silence when Rhode halted and scanned the surroundings

At this moment, Rhode cupped over her mouth swiftly and both of the from the other end of the silent tunnel That was a human voice

Emily widened her eyes in bewilderment

Was someone else here apart from them?
