The entrance to the second underground floor was located in a room that Lin Huang and the rest had killed and cleared earlier. To be exact, it was the eighth room that they had cleared more than two hours ago.
After clearing all 16 rooms, the five of them returned to the entrance of the second underground floor.
Different from the ladder that they used to get to the first floor, there was a stone staircase at the bottom of the cave.
As the five of them walked down the staircase, they noticed that there were many claw marks on the staircase as well as on the walls on both sides of the staircase. The claw marks were of different depths. Apparently, they came from different monsters.
"It seems like monsters often appear here." Yi Yeyu frowned as she looked at the marks.
"Many of the marks are new. It's obvious that some of them were left here within three days," Yi Zheng added, "This means that the monsters often go out to look for food."
"That's highly possible. The monsters that we've seen in the ruins seem to be nocturnal. They might go out to look for food at night," Leng Yuexin analyzed further.
The analysis that the three of them provided was what Lin Huang wanted. After all, he could not tell them that the monsters would go out to look for food at night.
Bloody had obtained the information by reading the monster's memory. Lin Huang could not explain the source of the information as he had told them that he had never been to the ruins before. If he were to tell them the information directly, it would be contradictory to what he had said.
However, since they had guessed that the monsters would go out to look for food at night, Lin Huang added more fuel to the fire.
"Now that you guys mentioned it, it might be possible. Think about it, we haven't seen any monsters on the ground since we came here. Perhaps all the monsters in the ruins are nocturnal. That's why we haven't seen any during the day. "
"Now that there's an immortal-level chief-level monster in the ruins, it means that the ruins are at least grade-3. There must be other chief-level monsters in the ruins. If what we guessed is true, it might be very dangerous at night in the ruins! "
Following their deduction, Lin Huang told them the truth that he already knew. However, he did not tell them that the ruins were at least grade-4 at the moment.
Yi Zheng and the rest looked upset after listening to what Lin Huang said.
"It's a three-star ruin. If all the monsters come out at night, we'll be in a very bad situation." Yi Zheng frowned.
"But it's useless to think so much now. Let's take down this ruin before night falls. We don't want other monsters to sneak in at night. If that happens, we'll be attacked from both front and back. That'll be troublesome, "Lin Huang reminded them. They still had business to attend to.
"Regardless of whether our guess is correct or not, we must first conquer this place. This place is more than a hundred meters underground, and there are traces of monsters everywhere. Our presence will be greatly concealed. Most importantly, there was only one entrance with a diameter of five meters at the top, which was easy to defend and hard to attack. If there really was a group of monsters at night, this place was ten times safer than the open area. Even if there are monsters coming in, the number is limited. We can defend ourselves well … "Yi Zheng soon came up with a plan after Lin Huang reminded him.
The rest of them realized the importance of clearing the ruin after listening to him. They got rid of all the distracting thoughts and began to work seriously.
Lin Huang was finally relieved. He had been thinking about how to tell them that there would be a large number of monsters in the ruin at night, and they had to hide in the ruin to be safe. He did not expect things to develop in the direction that he had hoped for.
In less than two minutes after they finished talking, the six of them arrived at the second underground floor of the ruin.
There was a long corridor at the end of the stairs. They did not need Lin Huang to lead the way as they saw the entrance of a room not far away from the left side of the corridor.
Lancelot and Lin Huang brought up the rear while the four of them rushed into the entrance.
In the first room on the second underground floor, the Bat Demons that were in deep sleep were awakened one after the four of them barged into the room.
The Bat Demons were demonic monsters with bat wings. Their bodies were black or gray in color, and they had the head of an eagle. However, their body structure was similar to that of a human. Without their heads and wings, they looked exactly like the bodybuilders in the human world. Their bodies were extremely muscular, but their skin was slightly darker. However, they were different from humans as their feet were as agile as their palms. They liked to hang upside down using their feet as support while they slept, and their wings covered their entire body. When the entire group of bat demonic beasts slept, it really looked like a row of huge black chandeliers hanging from the ceiling when an outsider looked over.
However, the "chandeliers" soon woke up after the four of them barged into the room.
Yi Zheng and the rest of them were upset when they saw that their opponents were the Bat Demons. Although there were only 50 to 60 Bat Demons, which was much fewer than the monsters on the first underground floor, their abilities were much more powerful than the monsters they had encountered earlier.
Most of the Bat Demons were blue flame-level when they were adults, and some of them could even reach purple flame-level if they were talented. Their combat strength alone was enough to defeat the monsters on the first floor.
What was more troublesome was that the Bat Demons could fly, and they were especially good at flying for short distances. The Blind Ape that Lin Huang and the rest had encountered on the first floor was already an agile monster. However, the Bat Demons were a few times more agile than the Blind Ape.
Not only that, the Bat Demons' muscles were not just for show. Such monsters were extremely powerful. The strength of a blue flame-level was comparable to a purple flame-level. If it was a purple flame-level, its strength could fight a gold flame-level monster. It could be said that it was a monster with speed, strength, and agility at the same time.
Almost at the same time when the four of them barged into the room, a few of the Bat Demons pounced on them.
Leng Yuexin immediately activated her ice attribute while Yi Zheng swung his sword. However, there were still two Bat Demons pouncing on Yi Yeyu and Li Lang.
Both of them could not see the Bat Demons' movements in time, so they could only try their best to block them.
"Bang! Bang! "
Two rumbling sounds came out almost at the same time, and then two figures were thrown out from the door at the same time, fiercely hitting the wall of the corridor. Two huge cracks instantly radiated out on the wall like a spider web, and then fiercely caved in.
It was Yi Yeyu and Li Lang who had hit the wall.
Just when the two Bat Demons were about to pounce on them and continue to attack them, Lancelot appeared in front of them in a flash. He held his sword with one hand and swung it horizontally. The two Bat Demons were instantly cut in half, and their black blood splattered all over the floor. Lancelot's left hand, which was still holding the bag of dried vegetables, was placed behind him as he was afraid that the blood would splatter on it.
"Cough, cough!" Li Lang coughed and got up from the caved wall. He then patted the dust off his body. "How despicable! How dare you sneak an attack on me? I wasn't ready to fight!"
On the other hand, Yi Yeyu, who was not far away, looked gloomy. She did not say a word but there were red sparks coming out of her body. Not only her sword, but her entire body was burning. Apparently, she was really angry.
