Whooosh...
The sound of flapping wings echoed through the cave, but these were not like those of the smaller bats.
This sound was different—more ominous and terrifying.
Could it be the boss?
After a brief rest, John continued forward.
By now, he had collected over 30 common-grade energy stones in his backpack.
However, the drop rate was frustratingly low.
There were slightly more broken ones, but it was unclear how long they would last.
With the fortress needing a large amount of supplies, continuing at this rate, he certainly wouldn't gather enough materials.
As John walked further, he suddenly heard the sound of something burning continuously ahead.
Even the temperature on the path had become scorchingly hot.
He walked up to a junction only to see a striking figure at the next intersection.
Countless fire-based spells exploded in the cave, each blast bringing down a swarm of small bats.
