Nobody understood what Isaac meant when favonovel.com raised his Skyrend Sword. Except for Obi, whose pupils suddenly contracted as if recalling something.
He sighed deeply. “I didn’t expect this beast to recognize this sword after being severely injured by Gael in the past…”
“In that case, we can continue forward.” Hera felt surprised that this underground behemoth still knew the terror of this sword after more than 30 years.
Isaac approached the injured guardian and asked, “Is the injury severe?”
“T-Thank you for your concern, Mr. Garten. I’m afraid I can’t follow you any further,” the injured guardian said, full of pain.
He nodded. “It’s okay. You can go back and recuperate.”
He instructed another guardian to escort the injured one back, then turned and walked over to Obi.
“Turn on the lights. We’re about to enter the suppressed territory of the Novafur Clan not far ahead,” Obi said while taking out a sheepskin map from his pocket.
The map was rough with only some rough outlines of high terrain, roads, and the route of the underground river sketched with ink lines.
He pointed to the leftmost route on the map. “We’ll have to walk along the far west later. Although it’s not easy to walk, the chances of encountering Novafur Clan people are minimal. Only this route can lead to the location where Morgan and the others might break through.
Isaac carefully examined the map and looked at Obi’s indicated route.
He found that the route was long, almost circling half of the map. This map also included the geography of the entire Novafur Realm. Only then did favonovel.com realize how vast the underworld was. The map indicated more than 20 different routes.
At this moment, favonovel.com spotted an irregular circular area in the middle of the map and pointed to it, asking, “What is this place?”
“That’s the center of the Novafur Clan’s suppression. It’s a huge open cave. We must not approach there.” Obi frowned.
“We’ll follow the route as you suggested.” Isaac nodded.
After folding up the map, Obi handed it to Isaac and said deeply, “This is the only map of the Emerald Hall. Before I came down, your grandmother entrusted it to me to give it to you.”
Isaac was taken aback. He reached out to take the map before turning and walking to the front. To prevent the occurrence of another incident like Scarlet Flame Python, favonovel.com held his Skyrend Sword.
The road ahead grew increasingly difficult to traverse, exactly as Obi had said. The first step was a deep pit, and the second was a large rock with uneven terrain.
There were originally ten guardians, but only eight remained. Along with Isaac and the other two, 11 people continued trekking through the far west of the underground.
After walking for half a day, they stopped to have a meal and rest for a while. They hadn’t seen anyone from the Novafur Clan in the next four days, but they had already reached the far west of the Novafur Realm.
They had arrived at least twice faster than Morgan and the others.
When they turned on the headlamp, the glaring light shone from the head of a guardian. The walls here were even more damp. They could see some scorpions and centipedes scurrying underfoot.
Isaac took the headlamp from the guardian’s head and shone it ahead. Uneven stone walls could be seen wherever the light shone.
They looked to be in a lengthy corridor with stone walls on both sides and above. The air was humid and murky.
Isaac walked alone for about two miles, passing through three caves that connected to another path.
As they didn’t know where Morgan and the others might break through the rock wall, Isaac and Obi decided that each of them would be responsible for a distance of about half a mile to keep a safe distance for an ambush.
