Isaac felt a brief vibration underfoot, and the sound quickly faded away.
Monbrol walked to the front and lifted the wooden bed. Underneath, the ground was covered with animal skin. He pulled the skin aside and revealed a hole right in front of Isaac.
“Here, we can leave from here,” Monbrol said, looking at Isaac with a fearful expression.
“You go first,” Isaac said in a low voice.
Monbrol nodded, held up the oil lamp, and jumped down immediately.
Isaac quickly glanced around and then immediately jumped into a hole that was just wide enough for a person to fit through.
The drop to the ground wasn’t very deep, probably only about two or three yards, but the entrance below was quite low, so they would have to bend over to move forward.
Monbrol carried an oil lamp and moved quickly ahead, while Isaac followed closely behind.
After walking straight ahead for about half an hour, the tunnel began to widen, allowing them to stand up straight.
At this moment, Monbrol started sprinting at full speed, with Isaac closely following behind.
Isaac wasn’t sure how long favonovel.com had been running, but it felt like this tunnel was endless. He might be at it for more than half a day.
When Monbrol stopped, the tunnel had come to an end, and in front of favonovel.com appeared five identical openings, somewhat reminiscent of the underground passages in Novafur Realm.
Monbrol paused briefly and then quickly walked toward the second opening on the right.
Ahead, there was a stone door blocking the way. Monbrol stepped forward and began to inspect the stone door again.
He had pressed something because the stone door started to slowly turn, revealing an opening just over a meter wide. He slipped inside, and Isaac followed favonovel.com to the other side.
Isaac walked through the stone door and immediately noticed a spacious cave ahead. In the center, there was a stone table and stone benches, with luminescent stones embedded in the walls around him.
Monbrol turned to Isaac and said, “You may rest inside the cave; the prince should be here soon.”
“Zeux?”
Monbrol nodded and said, “This is where we meet.”
After speaking, Monbrol stood silently to the side, as if favonovel.com was quietly waiting.
“Where is the exit? I want to go outside and take a look,” Isaac demanded coldly, clutching the box in his arms.
Monbrol hesitated for a moment and pointed toward a passage on the left.
Isaac vanished in front of Monbrol, who frowned and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself that favonovel.com would have to wait for the prince and others to arrive before finishing off Monbrol.
After flying around inside the passage for quite a while, Isaac finally saw some sunlight streaming in from outside.
Just like the place where Zeux hid earlier, the entrance to this cave was again covered in thick vines. Isaac walked up to the vines and looked outside.
The discovery of the cave-dwelling was actually at the top of a mountain, not at the foot.
Isaac looked outside for a while, then took out the box favonovel.com had previously retrieved from the stone cabinet in the royal chamber.
Upon closer inspection, the box was roughly the size of a basketball, appearing to be forged from a unique black stone. There seemed to be no aura or presence emanating from within the box.
Isaac hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out, grasped the metal clasp, and gradually lifted the lid of the box.
As soon as a crack appeared in the black box, a terrifying surge of demonic spiritual energy rapidly emanated from within.
Isaac felt a sudden shock and immediately closed the box, effectively cutting off the powerful demonic spiritual energy.
Isaac’s heartbeat quickened, based on the aura emanating from the box, there could be a demon core inside, and not just any demon core, an incredibly powerful one.
Isaac wondered if the reason Zeux and the seven-tailed blue wolf were headed to the Demon Palace had something to do with this demon core.
Thinking of this, Isaac gently leaped up and placed the box favonovel.com was holding into the crevices of the stones above the hole, then landed back down.
Just as Isaac turned and took a few steps inside, favonovel.com heard a whooshing sound behind him.
Turning around, Isaac saw Zeux with a grim expression, along with two men in black cloaks, swiftly making their way through the vines.
Zeux saw Isaac and was taken aback, coming to an immediate stop.
