(ED: Warning: NSFW near the end. *insert lenny face here*)A putrid smell arose from the depths of the dimly lit underground cave.
What's happening?
With a torch raised, Barney felt jittery when he led his men deeper into the caverns.
It had been five days since they entered the Blackrock Depths.
However, unexpectedly, they hadn't met any enemies so far — no, rather, it was more like they couldn't detect the enemies. The underground caverns weren't the same as the tunnels they traversed before, where the Goblins and Earth Protoplasms continually harassed them. Now, everything appeared to be avoiding them like a plague as though the mercenaries were the only living creatures in this underground world.
"Barney, do you want to stop and rest for a moment?"
The half-elf maiden walked up to Barney and asked softly. Then, she turned around and glanced over to the mercenaries behind.
"Everyone… Everyone seemed to be worried."
"I know."
