Sangmo trudged through the water and proceeded inside. The farther she walked, the narrower the passage became until, at the very end, a large boulder blocked her way.
Sangmo instinctively felt there was space beyond, so she punched the boulder, shattering it.
As the rubble scattered, a winding passage indeed revealed itself beyond.
A few more steps inside, Sangmo emerged into a huge cavern that suddenly opened up before her.
The knocking sound came to an abrupt halt.
Cradling the flame, Sangmo looked around.
Not far off, there seemed to be a person standing.
She, wary, drew her longsword and slowly approached the figure.
In the dim firelight, Sangmo suddenly saw the silhouette of a slender woman.
The woman's waist was soft and delicate, slight enough to be encircled by one's hands; her slender figure graceful and curvy, with every dip and rise distinguishable.
Sangmo felt a surge of surprise. Could it be a female ghost that sucks the souls out of people?
