"Exactly. We've been puzzled too. The forbidden ground has existed for countless years, yet it remained hidden until now," Zhar'khaen replied, equally perplexed.
"You mentioned earlier that, aside from the devils, there's a group of powerful demonic beasts lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity?"
"Yes."

Zhar'khaen froze for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Yes, we went out a few times."
"Without the Breath Concealing Pearls, your presence may have been detected. That's the only plausible explanation. There isn't a possibility of a traitor among you, is there?" Amalia pressed.
