"I can feel that woman's scent lingering in the air in that direction," Heliz said.
"I think we should contact the president first," West said.
From the previous situation, Heliz's mother was a black witch. She could summon ten ghost ships.
This was obvious. At least, none of them were confident that they could deal with her.
If they encountered a black witch after being separated from Chen Zhao, they would be in a very passive situation.
So, they had to find Chen Zhao first.
"Which direction did the president go?" West asked.
"That direction," Lisa said.
"It's the same direction as Heliz's mother. In other words, they're right behind her. We'll go in that direction too."
…
"Ah …" someone in the team suddenly screamed.
The team tensed up and turned to look at the person.
Half of the person's body had sunk into the ground.
Frowning, Charning Leighton had someone pull the person out of the ground.
However, when the person was pulled out, the hole in the ground attracted Charning Leighton's attention again.
Because it seemed to be empty below, Charning Leighton looked into the hole.
There wasn't enough light, but he could still see clearly.
There were countless skeletons buried below. There were adults and children. There were probably hundreds of skeletons in the ten-square-meter hole.
Charning Leighton discovered that there was a cracked stone wall at the edge of the hole. There were broken stones under the wall.
The back of the wall should be empty.
"Go down and take a look," Charning Leighton said.
One of the subordinates put on a searchlight hat and jumped down from the zipline.
The subordinate glanced at the countless skeletons under his feet. With each step, the ground would creak.
"Go in that direction and try the wall." Charning Leighton stood above and ordered the subordinate.
The subordinate came to the wall and knocked on it with his hammer. A hollow sound came from the wall.
"Boss, it's empty behind."
"Knock it open," Charning Leighton said.
The subordinate increased his strength and knocked the wall open.
Pieces fell off layer by layer, revealing a tunnel.
"Boss, it's a tunnel. It's very wide."
Should they go in and explore? Charning Leighton was hesitant.
"Alger, go get Zoron and Emily. We need to discuss this with them."
Soon, Zorun and Emily came over.
"Did you find anything?"
"See for yourselves. We discovered this."
"Eh? This seems to be the passageway to the Ancient Altar. I didn't think that you would be able to find this passageway." Zoron was somewhat surprised.
"What ancient altar?"
"This Ancient Altar is the altar used by the Massacre, and the direction we are heading to now is the Ancient Altar."
"In other words, the Black Witch's destination was the Ancient Altar?"
"That's right. My ancestors have been studying the Saint Siko Clan's plans for generations, but they have never found any useful clues. However, we feel that the Saint Siko Clan might have left something in the ancient altar."
"Then which way is faster to get to the ancient altar?" Chanin Leidon asked.
"The passage to the Ancient Altar is a passage for the nobles. Of course, the path below is faster. However, according to the family's records, this path is not that safe. Some of the traps were set up to prevent intruders. I don't know if these traps are still in use after thousands of years."
"These ancient traps are nothing to worry about," Chanin Leidon said calmly. "Also, it's best if we can stop the Black Witch from finding that thing in case something happens. So, we have to get to the Ancient Altar as soon as possible. If we get the thing first, it'll be more beneficial for us. What do you think?"
"I agree." Zorun and Emily both accepted Chanin Leidon's suggestion.
Everyone entered the ancient passageway in a single file.
"Be careful of that Asian." After entering the passageway, Chanin Leidon told his subordinates, "If he does anything strange, shoot him dead."
There was some distance between them, but Chen Zhao could still hear their conversation.
However, Chen Zhao could not be bothered with them.
"Who are these skeletons?" Alger asked.
"Probably civilians who hid here during the Massacre. They didn't dare to enter the passageway, so they squeezed in here."
"No, they were killed," Chen Zhao interrupted. "There's only so much space. Even a few hundred people can't hide here, unless they were all killed and dumped here."
Zorun glanced at Chen Zhao and did not say anything else.
Just then, intense gunshots came from the front.
Alger, Zorun, and Emily immediately sped up to the front of the group.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Chanin Leidon frowned, a serious expression on his face.
In the passageway not far away, there was a corpse.
The corpse was rather strange. They could not tell what kind of creature it was.
It had no head, tail, or front or back. There were only four symmetrical limbs with symmetrical claws.
It was not big, perhaps the size of an orange cat.
After being shot, its limbs were spread out on the ground. Its body seemed very light.
"What is this?" Alger asked, confused.
"Dark Minions, monsters created by the Black Witch. According to my family's records, the Black Witch can summon thousands of Dark Minions. They don't need to eat anything and are completely obedient to the Black Witch. They can fight on land or in the water. They can climb onto walls or treetops and hide in the dark, then ambush when the enemy is unprepared. One or two Dark Minions might not be much of a threat, but if there's a large number of them, even an army will be crushed," Zorun said.
"What a disgusting magical creature." Alger kicked the Dark Minions' corpse on the ground.
Chen Zhao walked up and picked up the Dark Minions, looking left and right.
The Dark Minions they spoke of were also called "Headless" in Hell. They were a rather delicious food.
They could eat, but their mouths were underneath their bodies, like octopuses.
However, these things could not be cooked in normal ways.
As for how to cook them, Chen Zhao had to contact the handsome guy when he was free and ask how to cook them.
"Can you give this to me?"
"What are you going to do with it?" Alger asked, frowning.
"Eat," Chen Zhao said matter-of-factly.
Everyone looked at Chen Zhao with a strange expression.
This guy must have gone crazy from hunger.
He dares to eat something like this?
Isn't he afraid of dying from eating it?
