Chapter 162 Betrayal Beneath
Chapter 162 Betrayal Beneath
jake and his little team of explorers were now in a cave of some sorts and entering in, they were now in a tunnel underneath a trap door fighting against something called a slimy snake that shot out blob like liquids from its mouth.
unsure of its effect, the team decided to play it safe by avoiding the blob liquid and they decided to attack the beast with everything they got.
but no matter how much they attacked or how much strength they put in the attack, it wasn't doing anything against the beasts. that was when alex came in with a strike that sent the beast crashing down and laying unmoving.
the team taking it as a sign of victory decided to back up but that was when alex was suddenly thrown and glued to the wall by the green blob like liquid. seeing alex like that, jake finally figured out the effect of the green blob.
'so it renders a person that comes in contact with it unconscious.' jake thought as he looked at alex then at the beast.
the beast was now crawling towards them.
'i guess this is the only thing i can do now.' jake thought as he gripped his sword tighter then he activated the sword's active skill.
immediately, sparks were starting to form on the sword with crackling sound and the beast was now closing in while peter and geo were behind jake trying to get alex off the wall.
immediately the beast was close, jake swung his sword out and three lightning bolts were shot out at the beast one after the other hitting it and causing its whole body to shake rapidly.
when the second bolt landed, the beast tried its best to escape but before it could, the last bolt landed sending it flying towards another entrance of the cave therefore escaping.
immediately the beast escaped, peter and geo finally were able to get alex off the wall and the green blob off of him.
"is it gone?" alex asked as he slowly came to.
"yeah. jake managed to send it away." geo said.
"so what now?" peter asked.
"that beast, it feels like it was placed here as a type of guard of some sorts. i think it was guarding something here and i want to find out what." jake said as he looked towards where the beast ran to.
they decided to walk into where the beast had ran to since that was the only entrance there was. walking in, they could see the green blob almost everywhere but they were somewhat dried up.
"these must have been left by those that worked in these tunnels." alex said. read new adventures at empire
"why would there be people working in these tunnels and why is their equipment still here?" jake asked as he picked the tool to examine them.
as they continued walking, they were met with several iron doors like the one that alex and peter had broken off its hinges. picking which direction they wanted to head off to, alex and peter got to work in breaking the door open and they all walked in slowly cautious of what they could find in there.
but after entering, instead of the cave-like wall that they had been saying so far, they now were looking at a hallway that had been carved out perfectly using stone. it was clear this hallway was man-made and created quite recently.
the floor was no longer bumpy and was made of stone slabs similar to the walls. with no hesitation, alex walked forward and so did the rest.
"alex, slow down, let's not run off and split away from each other." peter said.
alex nodded and they walked carefully while twisting their heads around looking for beasts. as the group walked forward, geo walked on top of a wobbly tile.
in that instant, a creature with a frog like body and having a horn of an antelope burst up from the loose slab. peter was fast enough to slash the beast's head off with a single swing of his axe.
as the group continued to walk further in the hallway, they encountered small small creatures that were no higher than the intermediate tier. which they defeated quickly.
finally, after a few minutes of walking, they now came across another iron door.
"what is it with these iron doors?" peter asked.
"paul said that the doors were used to keep dangerous beasts locked down here so they won't escape." alex answered as he was about to burst the door open.
"then doesn't that mean we have to be careful? i mean with the way we burst these doors open, what if a strong beast pops out of the gate?" geo asked.
"relax." alex said and then he coated his sword with qi and then swung it out at the gate causing it to slice wide open as if hot knife was cutting through butter.
then immediately, the gates fell apart and they walked in carefully that was when they saw something that shocked them.
"what the hell is going on?" geo shouted as they could see piles of dead bodies chained to a table everywhere.
