By the time they reached the courtyard ahead and squeezed into a small hut, Ma Lin jumped down and walked over to the ferocious demon statue to conduct a careful examination.
He detected a familiar scent.
It was very similar to the demon apes he had eradicated on the Odro continent. He knew it was the unique smell of the Great Demon Aike.
The "Book of Servants" vibrated, and the mission updated.
There was also a mission hint. Recite an incantation in the demon language to open the secret passage below.
After Ma Lin carefully recited it, he felt magic power flowing in the ground, and then a depression appeared, revealing a hidden passage.
Ma Lin cautiously walked down.
Then, he smelled a pungent stench.
Shining his cellphone light around, he found many people frozen here. Some had bloody holes in their bodies.
Most of them were still alive.
Behind the hall was another room, and Ma Lin knew that was his real target.
