155 Mind of the Undead (1/2)
After seeing Li Weisi's chimera, Adonis Monar knew that he couldn't waste any time messing around. He couldn't wait to find Li Weisi and the Wizard Alliance's old laboratory so that he could make use of their experimental records and notes!
The group started pushing forward aggressively. This cave truly was exactly like what the rumors had said; it could be called an underground city in the northern wasteland! The deeper they went, the more they found glowing moss on the sides of the walls. Soon, they did not even need torches, as the moss completely lit the way.
The fluorescent moss looked like twinkling stars in the dim cave. As they peered down the path, it was as if they were looking deep into a star-studded galaxy.
The group continued on and various landmarks began to appear. Some were normal buildings, while others were passages marked with wooden stakes and numbered entrances. Many of these places showed traces of previous occupation, such as several kerosene lamps that were found in some of the houses.
They also began to encounter more bodies of the monsters. These monsters could not reproduce. Hence, after so many years, most of them had died. Although there weren't too many left, those which remained were the most powerful of them all. The team also encountered several crises, but under the leadership of Adonis Monar, there were no casualties.
They soon arrived at a fork in the road. The map pointed to the left, but Adonis Monar continued straight ahead. He then took some spellcasting aids from his bag and gathered them towards the wall, which was straight ahead of him.
Immediately, a dark whirling fireball appeared in his palm, then headed straight for the wall. The wall was quite thin, so it exploded on impact. It scattered outwards, the dust blowing towards them like a strong, gritty breeze. As the dust cleared, a passage was revealed.
Cough, cough!
”Give me the lamp!”
After taking the lamp, Adonis Monar tossed it inside the passage. The path had opened into what seemed like a huge and bottomless abyss. The lamp lit the surroundings as it fell, allowing Adonis Monar to briefly observe the interior from the entrance.
The space inside was indeed quite large. There were many buildings that had been built along the rock wall. There were also many entrances and exits, which connected the entire cave, forming a transit point for the huge underground city.
Adonis Monar imagined that, at the height of its heyday, tens of thousands of people had once lived here. Li Weisi had controlled all of them, as they were facilitating his experiments. Countless people had lived here, without ever seeing the light of day. It was here that Li Weisi had first embarked on his descent into the madness that ended up shaking the entire continent!
The oil lamp fell to the ground and cracked open. The scattered oil then quickly ignited into a flame. All of them could clearly see that a dark castle had been constructed at the bottom of the abyss.
Adonis Monar was delighted and exclaimed, ”Found it! This is it!”
Adonis Monar ignored the people behind him, immediately jumping off the cliff. He was already a level two wizard, so he had the power to fly.
He hovered in the air like a giant bird. The distance from the bottom of the cave was not too far away, less than 100 meters. So, Adonis Monar landed at the bottom shortly.
