Nodded Sky affirmative drinking the potion relieved with the cool sensation made her feel a bit better than before.
Observing that complexion almost faded from her made him sigh with relief. But another look to the messy broken pod with half of it still inside worm's stomach, Luka's heart itch. Those electromagnetic plates where very expensive that he started to wonder how to pay Mr Robert the indemnities.
Noticing his sour face while groaning, Natalie chuckled. Then reading the area she saw that the tunnel look farther small which is strange since the size of the worm is way bigger.
"Hmm? That strange?"
Getting up Feng's nose catched something as he sniffed closer to the walls with conflict emotions.
"Something wrong? Any worms near by? "
Shaked his head at Luka he answered:
"There's a mix of human and demon scent scattered in here" Feng put himself on guard.
"W..what?"
Showing surprised long faces, Luka put his hand on the wall, examining it closely he noticed there were traits of digging, someone must did other than the worm.
" Huh!"
Hearing Feng's voice again, he turned to see him started to dig the corner between the wall and ground. It was even awhile and he pull a rotten human forearm from the hole he made. Stepping away Natalie suppressed her screams as Luka squeezed her shoulder moving her a distance from where Feng was. She just then turn away. Taking a hold of it, and with confusion Luka spoke his opinion.
"Its seems...this didn't happen long ago...this strange"
Feng's brow knitted not understanding his point.
" I mean look, there's no blood stain nor a sign of fight or anything here which means..."
"...this was done somewhere?" Feng completed Luka's sentences who confirmed his statement. Luka glance forward the end of the tunnel.
"Shall we?" With a deep sigh and hesitant he exclaimed.
Pulling herself up refreshed like new, Sky joined them.
"Well... there are no much of options, is it?" She asked rotating her stiff shoulder.
"True" Said Luka dusting the sand off his hair, he couldn't help but to laugh.
He wasn't the only one at mess, all of them were. The black suits and coats were cover in sand to its pores. And their hairs were as if nested with birds.
When all this over, he can't wait to take a hot spring and shower for a day. But first things first, what gloominess is hidden in these tunnels?
Feng lead the way forward, with his sharp senses especially sensitive nose. Downward the tunnel, they were cautious with each step. They were alert when they almost came across a shade of yellow light casted on the walls. They heard sounds of digging mixed with loud chatters, there're people down there.
Feng immediately kneeled on one knee and sneaked to peek through the hole, he was able to grasp a glance of them, but confusion drawn over his face.
"Hey Feng what did you see?" Asked Luka.
Strangely enough he doesn't answer, Luka sighed then crawled in front him to be shocked seeing a gaint metlal device attached to four levers, digging a deep massive hole underground. Luka's eyes shifted down where alot of peoples with dirty brown and thin piece of fabric covering their shabby bodies. They were chained one's to another, and together in groups. Some were holding shovels, while the others in charge of lifting silver stones that looked familiar to him. But what concerns more, these people are under slavery, but to who?
Retreated to rest his back on the wall muttering curses, Natalie and Sky were puzzled staring at him.
"Seriously! What's out there?" Sky questioned raising eyebrow.
About to answer her, they sudden heard a loud voice...
[This's your last warning! If you didn't complete your work this week you can say good bye to your pathetic life!]
The voice menacingly spoke. Luka gulped answering Sky:
"This is,... a slave labor camp".
