Chapter 280 - Dark Cave (1) (2/2)

This was already the third time they transport goods from the same place and to the same destination. So, they were confident about this. Moreover, the fee was more than average.

Without the owner of the goods joined the group, the difficulty would lessen a bit. It was because, usually, the owner of the products was someone who was weak and could not fight at all. When there was something wrong happened, the owner would become a burden to the group.

However, for this mission, the owner would not join the convoy, so they had a lesser burden. ”On your guard! We will enter the Dark Cave!” The leader shouted to remind the group.

Dark Cave was a vast and confusing cave. For a first-timer, if he didn't have a guide or maps to follow, he could be lost inside the cave. Moreover, the monster inside was pretty ferocious and not friendly at all.

This Dark Cave was also a shortcut to their destination. If they went through this Dark Cave smoothly, they could arrive three days faster.

However, Dark Cave was also not a safe place. They would need at least twelve hours of moving non-stop to get through this Dark Cave. Moreover, this time they had to protect a huge amount of goods.

The leader had discussed it with his original group's members, and they chose this path confidently. It was because they had used this cave more than ten times in the past. With their experience, they had high confidence that they could get out of this cave safely despite guarding three big carts.

Just like its name, it was dark inside the cave. Several of the guards lit up torches, so they could see the pathway. Inside the cave, Auron could see many stalagmites above them. Also, many regular bats were hanging on the cave's roof.

Auron started to remember his past. It was already more than 5 years when the last time he went through this cave. Back then, he was hunting in this cave with Roan. He had a higher level back then and had a difficult time to fight in this dark cave.

However, compared to the current Auron, he was stronger right now. It was because of his 'cheat' and also his existing equipment. Auron was following the speed of the convoy.

Suddenly, Auron moved his hands and raised his staff. A [Fire Bolt] flew out from his staff and hit something above them.

Screeeeeeech... A yell of a monster halted the group's advance. All of the convoy's members looked at where the [Fire Bolt] hit the target. All of them found a monster flying backward due to the impact of the [Fire Bolt].

The leader immediately shouted, ”Enemies!!! Prepare to fight!!!”
