"Wake up! So!"

Both already well prepared mentally, Su Lin and Celine darted up awake Without even saying anything, they both cleared their heads, found their water bottles and took a gulp, then went to thetogether

Celine sniffed the air carefully

"There’s the scent of olf, and also the scent of huunpowder Looks like they "

"Can you tell what kind of blood it is?" Garen asked softly

"What do you think my nose is? That I would be able to tell where the blood came from?" Celine rolled her eyes at Garen

"Leave that toand pulled it to look at the source of the speckles of light

Immediately, her face turned into a whole new shade of seriousness

"It’s the Slash Brigade!" They’re fighting with the local olves! It seeht!"

"Let me see," Garen took the telescope from her and took a look for hihts, he saw dozens of olf corpses littered about the light, while the Slash Brigade ran alongside the source of the light Many ast the surrounded and then attacked by the olves There was also Beo in the group That usually stern cold blue haired genius, it see absolutely h ti the ambush of olves froade, they’ve finally gotten in over their heads, they actually walked directly into the hunting area of olves It doesn’t see it with soy or tact, they just overconfidently walked right into it!" Garen shook his head, "no surprise that they would coo help them?" Su Lin asked

"What do you think?" Garen shook his head again, "If it were the olves that we encountered earlier, there wouldn’t be any need for our intervention, but from what I see here, these olves are way ht be in serious trouble then? Sure we don’t want to go help?" Su Lin took the telescope and observed the scene once more

"Not necessarily, they will eventually enter the ancient ruins The Slash Brigade probably just h, I doubt olves would be able to slow them down at all" Garen decided, "When they resuht behind the?" Celine didn’t seeade leading the ill be o" Su Lin thought, and shook her head, "my presence will just slow you both down Better if I just wait here until you both ade after"

"That works too, who knohat dangers await us within We st all of that," Garen nodded in agreement

"Then let’s wait" Celine said softly

The trio continued standing beside the , staring into the distance as the shter as the cahtly over ten e Everyone in the squad looked like aIn this s torches It seemed, for now, they had repelled the olves

One of the three who re the bark on a tree near him to rub off the blood from his machete

Under the observation of Garen’s trio, the Slash Brigade went straight for the entrance to the tomb

Very quickly, they found the already opened entrance to the tomb, they hesitated for a second, and then one by one the Slash Brigade disappeared into the entrance along with their lights

Obviously, they had known about this entrance all along judging by the way they found it without any delays

"Let’s go"

Garen turned and led the way down into the toht beside hi him in

"Please help watch over the entrance for us, just find so to cover it up"

"No problem," Su Lin answered quickly

Garen led Celine back to the side of the to, they both went down the stairs

The rocky stairs were long and deep, leading down to a rock corridor that was definitely not a toht, every ten steps or so there were opposing holders for torches on the walls

Garen turned on his flashlight and shone the way ahead The corridor seemed to lead doards endlessly, towards an unknown destination

"Celine, pay attention to the scent of the Slash Brigade in front of us, ht find out we’re tailing them," Garen noted

"No problem, just leave it to me" Celine nodded, "But why don’t we just rendezvous with theht be some secret treasures, we cannot trust anyone," Garen shook his head in disagree to catch up with them" Celine looked at Garen as she continued to walk

The duo walked and stopped now and then to make sure there weren’t any traps Soround, obviously froroup in front of them

The most well known symbol of Ancient Endorian culture, is their ability to connect earth and hell with their infinite stairs The duo walked for over half an hour before they finally reached a brown door It was ajar, and from the dust prints on the floor, one could easily , was that there were two line of texts carved onto the walls around the door

Garen leaned closer and shined it with his flashlight carefully

"Be careful of sprites"

He read it softly, the walls were full of Endorian words, he could only roughly make out these few

"What does it mean?"
