After passing through two tightly locked doors, they arrived at a large hall.
The hall was filled with the smell of decay and decay.
However, the two rows of large marble pillars on the left and right of the hall gave people a sense of grandeur. Every pillar had a dragon carving on it.
However, with the passage of time, most of these carvings were broken and dim. Three burly monsters with their chests puffed out were patrolling the hall.
It seemed like they saw patrolling as an honor and didn't relax at all.
Mi Bo walked up and talked to them for a while. The three patrolling monsters didn't directly move them away like the sentinels from before. Instead, they took Allen with them and continued forward.
"Password!" A muffled voice sounded from behind an extremely thick wooden door.
"Happy Corn." One of the patrolling monsters leaned close to the wooden door and whispered in what he thought was a soft voice.
Following the monsters in, Allen sized up the surroundings without leaving a trace. He concluded that this was the main living area of the monsters.
A few bonfires flickered weakly in this tall and wide hall.
Using this light, he could see many monsters busy with mending or other tasks. There were even some young monsters playing around in the hall.
With the patrolling monsters leading them, the adult monsters looked at him cautiously. They restrained their curious young monsters and allowed them to leave.
Allen's group smoothly passed through this living area.
Once again, they entered an exceptionally spacious hall. Allen glanced at the west side of the hall.
There was a simple throne made of broken stone, with its back against an ancient altar.
A short monster wearing a red robe was sitting on the throne, and there were six similarly dressed guards standing beside him.
There were many broken items on the altar. Behind the throne was a statue of a dragon with claws and scales flying in the air. A key was stuck in the dragon's mouth.
Mi Bo walked up respectfully and whispered into the short monster's ear.
"Intruders, why have you come here?" This monster was actually a female!
It seemed like the monsters here still retained the culture of the ancient monsters. The female was the leader. Moreover, the monsters here didn't smell as bad as the ones outside.
"We're here to find the werewolves. The apples they sold made my companions lose face. Do you know about the werewolves selling apples? "Allen asked politely.
"The shame of my race, the Exiled Berwick, was captured by the werewolves. He lived in the lowest level. He cultivated magic apples and the werewolves sold them. He became the servant of the werewolves who stole the Divine Dragon! "Yusdayel replied.
"Honorable leader, apart from us, has anyone else come to look for the werewolves?" Alan asked about the missing person.
"A few wizards went to fight the werewolves, but they never came back." Yusdayel didn't care.
Allen understood that they must have been captured by the werewolves.
"Do you have any information about the Holy Dragon that you can give us?" Allen asked the question that the monsters were most concerned about.
Mi Bo's eyes widened, but Yusdayel didn't directly say the whereabouts of the Divine Dragon.
"As everyone knows, I lead the bravest elite monsters to guard the sacred land of the ancient dragon, Asadron." Yusdayel's face was full of pride.
"All this time, it was safe and sound. Until those evil werewolves stole the Divine Dragon! Adventurer, if you can return the Divine Dragon to my race, I will give you a suitable reward. Mi Bo will help you. "
Allen agreed without hesitation. Since he would encounter the werewolves sooner or later, he wouldn't lose anything by agreeing to the monster's request. Instead, he might receive help from the monsters.
As expected, Yusdayel not only pointed out the shortcut to the area where the werewolves were, but she also sent Mi Bo as a representative to follow Allen.
They then passed through the monster's storage room. Hermione and Luna covered their mouths and noses. They couldn't bear the scene in front of them.
The room was filled with the smell of blood.
There were many iron hooks hanging from the ceiling. Most of the iron structures were empty. There were a few fresh animal corpses that were still dripping with blood.
Cave rats, cave bats, crickets, beetles, spiders, and large pieces of mushrooms and fungi were either hanging or casually stacked together. These were all the monsters' food.
There was a broken wooden table by the south wall of the room. There were rusty cutlery and butchering tools on the table.
"Mi Bo, where did you catch all this food?" Allen asked curiously.
"These reserves were collected from the dark tunnels nearby." Mi Bo didn't hide anything.
When they reached a room, he pointed out the tunnel to Allen and the others.
The east wall of the room had completely collapsed, revealing the entrance to a tunnel.
There were no traces of human activity in the tunnel. It looked no different from an ordinary underground tunnel.
Hunting tools hung on the walls, and there were a few straw mats scattered on the floor.
The three monster guards acted as hunters and were stationed in this area.
"We came to the underground castle through this tunnel. Now, hunting and harvesting can be done through this tunnel. However, the dark tunnel is very large, and we haven't explored it completely. "Although Mi Bo didn't plan to bring Allen and the others in, he still explained it to them.
"This tunnel is still under our control, but there are traps. Hopefully, they can delay the werewolves' attack. Be careful. After the werewolves trigger the traps, we usually drag the corpses out and reset the traps, "Allen reminded.
The wooden doors on both sides of the tunnel were tightly locked. Mi Bo led Allen and the others to avoid the traps.
Next, they passed by two empty rooms.
These two rooms were dark and empty. Apart from rat droppings, broken stones, and stains, the entire room was empty.
"A long time ago, there were creatures living here. However, it seems that this room has been abandoned recently," Hermione deduced.
"Apart from the traces of rats passing by that day, it can also be inferred that humans have been walking north in boots." Alan added.
Further ahead, they came to a room with broken stones scattered all over the floor.
There was a beautiful fountain in front of the east wall. Although it had dried up, collapsed, and was covered in stains, the giant dragon statue on top of it still gave people a sense of proud beauty.
