Chapter 316 - Cursed City (3) (1/2)

The hole that Auron entered previously led into an underground tunnel. He followed the path hurriedly.

Although Auron didn't know where this tunnel end, he had no choice. Behind him, five bandits were chasing him. He just hoped that this tunnel could lead to the outside world.

There seemed no end to the path that Auron took. He already moved for 15 minutes, and he still could not find the exit. He already gulped some mana potions to prevent his health from being decreased. He also didn't forget to help Semial and Remus.

Auron looked behind him. He could not see the bandits who were chasing him. However, he was already deep inside the tunnel. He had to move forward.

What Auron didn't know was the bandits were on the verge of death. As they were an NPC, just like Semial and Remus, they didn't get any notification about they would lose a mana point each second.

As they chased Auron and his group blindly, they already went deep inside the tunnel as well. The pungent smell made them didn't realize that they lose their strength. They just realized it when one of the thieves, suddenly fell down, feeling weak.

Unfortunately, they didn't have any recovery items as they just came back from a sudden order from their superior. They tried to go back to where they came. However, they were already deep inside the tunnel. Before they could exit the tunnel, all of them already died.

[The pungent smell became stronger. You will lose 2 mana points each second]

[When you run out of mana, your health point will start to reduce]

A notification appeared in front of Auron.  The deeper Auron went inside, the stronger the pungent smell. It was really awful. However, he braced himself and continued on.

If the smell became stronger, this means that he was closer to the source of the scent. Although he had the urge to turn back, however, Auron's instinct told him something else.

A suddenly appeared hole, a pungent smell that could kill, a mysterious dark power from the notification. All of these usually would only appear when there was something big going on.

Five minutes later, Auron arrived at a fork. There were two paths. A path to the left and a path to the front. Without thinking for too long, Auron chose the later. It was easier to go forward rather than turning left.

Semial and Remus were still in good condition thanks to Auron's potions. Except for the discomfort in their nose because of the smell, there was nothing else that they could complain about.

Another five minutes later, Auron, who was at the front, suddenly frowned and signaled Semial and Remus to slow down. It was because Auron sensed something from the front. He heard a small noise.
