Everyone was so tense that it was difficult to even breathe.
The only sound was the torch shaking in the wind and the sound of the valley water flowing.
In this way, the bottom of a 3m deep pond was revealed, and soon the bottom was completely dry, with not a single drop of blood remaining.
"Lord Carl, please step back."
Bilford grabbed Carl's shoulder and pulled him to protect him.
There was something under the pond.
At Bilford's instructions, a soldier threw a torch down, and its shape was revealed. It was small and didn't move.
It didn't seem dangerous.
"What… is it?"
The soldiers went down with a rope wrapped around the body and carefully went in.
What they took out was a red statue of a gnoll about two spans tall.
Carl looked at it carefully and touched it lightly with his hand.
"It's hot."
It was giving off heat as if it were alive.
Plus this ridiculously detailed workmanship.
