It seems that the explosion just now attracted these people over.

Freya held her breath and quickly hid in a crack in the rocks.

The dense black shadows approached closer, and it seemed like there were more people than before.

The heavy footsteps sounded like a demonic tune, echoing in Freya's ears.

Strangely enough, apart from the sound of footsteps, these people did not communicate at all, as if none of them knew each other.

Just as Freya was about to peek out and see who these people were, she accidentally stepped on a Stone under her feet, causing it to make a noise as it landed, which alerted the figures ahead.

Soon, the black shadows quickly closed in on her direction.

Freya pursed her lips, her heart racing in her throat.

If she were to fall into the hands of so many people, she would definitely have a hard time escaping.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, until they stopped right in front of Freya. She suddenly felt a few rays of light streaming through the darkness, causing her to hold her breath and stay still. The beam of light quickly fell upon her, making her too scared to open her eyes. Oh no, she’s been exposed! Just as Freya was preparing to strike back, the beam of light suddenly extinguished, and the shadowy figure seemed to flee like facing a great enemy. After the footsteps gradually faded away, Freya emerged from the cracks in the Stone, taking a deep breath. What's going on? Those shadows clearly saw her, so why didn't they attack her? And why did they remain silent throughout, only retreating at a strange speed? This is too unusual! Freya regathered her thoughts and watched as the shadowy figures all hurried off in ying direction, piquing her curiosity to go investigate the situation.

This place is too unusual, she has a vague premonition that following these shadowy figures leaving might uncover some secrets.

Freya followed the shadowy figures through dark corridors, observing them from beginning to end.

The deeper she looked, the more she felt that these people were not right.

Even normal people should communicate, but they were like machines, not speaking, and not even making basic eye contact.

A group of people stopped in an orderly manner in front of a Stone door, with a black shadow at the front pressing a mechanism, then Everything walked in together.

As the Stone door slowly descended, Freya rolled onto the ground and rushed in.

The place was brightly lit, with a strange smell lingering around.

Due to her medical background, she could smell alcohol and various chemical scents.

However, the mixture of all these smells couldn't be described.

Freya continued to walk inside, amazed to see those dark shadowy figures from earlier, all wearing black hooded robes with eerie masks on their faces, only revealing their mouths, noses, and eyes, making it impossible to see their features.

At that moment, the dark figures lined up neatly, and as they dispersed, Freya looked ahead and clearly saw a person lying on a Stone bed.

The person's upper body was bare, and from Freya's angle, she could clearly see the snake tattoos on his body.

They were all large, blood-red snakes, seemingly deeply engraved in the flesh, ready to devour a person at any moment.

Freya remembered the people captured in the back mountains, who also had such tattoos. Bradley had told her then that they were members of a warlord family, devoted to the worship of the snake god, hence the snakes tattooed on them.

Could it be that Belle brought the members of the warlord family into the underground maze?

Just as she was thinking, the person lying on the bed suddenly sat up, his gaze falling directly on Freya. His empty eyes lacked vitality, like a soulless puppet.

What surprised her even more was that many snakes suddenly emerged from all around, entwining around the person and quickly devouring him.

The intense feeling of being surrounded by snakes made Freya's whole body break out in goosebumps, even her hair felt numb and tingling.

At the moment when Freya thought the person would be devoured by the snake swarm until there was nothing left, to her surprise, after the snakes left, she actually saw a venomous snake coiled around the person's neck. Not coiled around, but deeply embedded in the person's flesh. Despite Freya's bravery, she found the scene before her chilling. What's more, the person's eyes remained lifeless throughout, as if not feeling any pain. A tingling sensation spread throughout her body, making Freya's legs weak. Just as she was about to retreat, she suddenly saw the person on the bed standing up. Performing mechanical movements, the person walked to a shelf, grabbed a black robe, put it on, donned a mask, and joined the ranks of the shadowy figures. Freya observed from her hiding spot for a long time. After the shadowy figures returned to their places, they remained motionless, like mechanical statues. She wanted to investigate further, but suddenly a door inside the room was opened. someone was coming!

Bradley's men searched around for the mechanism but could not find the entrance to the underground. Could it be that the entrance can only be accessed through a crack in the Black Abyss Cave? If so, they would have to capture Belle and force her to open the mechanism. At that moment, a subordinate rushed over to report, "Young master, our men found signs of movement in a hidden chamber." "Lead the way!" Bradley coldly ordered. The subordinate immediately led him to a secluded small dark room, where they saw traces of someone having been there. There were blood stains on the ground, as well as some instruments of torture, resembling a place where prisyingrs were held. He immediately thought of Ella, and ordered Everything to search carefully.

The Bluebook faction searched all around, while Bradley followed the bloodstains to a wall where the bloodstains disappeared. If he guessed correctly, there was a mechanism here, and once found, there would be another scene outside this wall. After exploring the underground labyrinth for a while, Bradley discovered the mysteries; there were various mechanisms and secret passages that intersected with each other. By grasping the rules of these secret passages, he could navigate freely in the underground labyrinth. He carefully tapped on each wall but found nothing unusual! No, the mechanism must be hidden in an unexpected location. Bradley stood still, carefully recalling the position of each mechanism, then suddenly a point flashed in his mind. He opened his eyes abruptly, gazed deeply at the bottom right corner in a thirty-degree direction, and slowly reached out to touch it. A miracle happened at this moment. The concealed wall suddenly opened, Bradley smiled, and swiftly entered.

At the same time, Shadow quickly returned to the ice room with Ella.

Damn it.

She had hidden the person so discreetly, yet he was still discovered.

If it weren't for her quick reaction, Ella would have been rescued long ago.

Unwillingly, Shadow forcefully threw Ella onto the ground.

Ella, who was originally unconscious, woke up in pain and came face to face with Shadow's fierce and ugly face. His pupils narrowed sharply as he asked, "What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?"

Without mercy, Shadow's foot stepped on Ella, a malicious smile playing on his lips. "I have some good news and some bad news to tell you. Which ying do you want to hear first?"
