“Among the eight caves, seven of them lead to dead ends,” Obi explained as favonovel.com headed toward the third cave on the left.
Upon entering the cave, new caves appeared every few hundred feet.
Isaac calculated that Obi, who led the group, had made the choices five times. If favonovel.com picked the wrong cave once, they would return empty-handed. Furthermore, nobody knew how far they would have to walk in the wrong cave.
Isaac began to appreciate his father’s wisdom. Despite the hassle, it greatly reduced the chances of the Novafur Clan’s escape. Moreover, if people outside didn’t know the route, they couldn’t choose the correct path at once.
As they approached the sixth cave, they saw two guardians sitting on the ground.
When the two guardians spotted Obi approaching, they immediately got up and bowed.
“Are there any abnormalities?” Obi asked as favonovel.com approached.
One of the guardians replied, “No, but the Scarlet Flame Python has been active recently…”
Obi frowned as favonovel.com heard the news. Then, favonovel.com nodded and confirmed forward.
“These two are lookouts. Once the people from the Novafur Clan rush here, they‘ll immediately go out to report us,” Obi explained as favonovel.com entered the last cave.
They walked for nearly three hours in the final cave. When they were about to exit, Isaac faintly heard the sound of flowing water.
Is there an underground river?
After Obi exited the cave, they saw the surroundings. It was a huge cavern. An underground river about 30 feet wide existed around 30 feet to the right.
“Are we in the Novafur Realm now?” Isaac asked softly.
Obi glanced at the underground river to their right and said deeply, “Turn off the lights…”
He added slowly in the darkness, “If it were so easy to get here, there would be no need to go through all this trouble to trap them underground.”
As they followed Obi along the relatively flat path beside the river, favonovel.com continued speaking in a low voice, “This river has an internal circulation. It flows entirely underground. There’s a giant python that lives in this area. If we encounter it, it’ll be troublesome.”
Isaac, who was walking third, suddenly heard a crisp sound under his foot. He came to a halt and took a look with the faint light of his phone. Then, favonovel.com saw a white bone under his foot that appeared to be an arm bone.
As favonovel.com looked around with his phone’s light, favonovel.com saw white bones all over the ground. He couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.
“The Novafur Clan has tried to break out many times, but they were blocked here. The Scarlet Flame Python stopped them several times. The guardians and Gael suppressed the rest,” Obi explained.
“There have been many deaths, so they no longer come here…”
As Obi finished speaking, they suddenly heard rushing water from the front, followed by a hissing high-frequency vibration. It was similar to the sound of a snake breathing.
“Stop… Don’t move. Everyone stays still,” Obi’s voice trembled as favonovel.com spoke.
The next moment, Isaac noticed two blood-red eyes slowly rising from the underground river. Its eyes seemed to be the size of basketballs.
