Chapter: 1141

“Deputy king. The Yulin men are heading into the underground tunnel right now!”

“How!”

Their purpose of heading into the underground was obvious to everyone.

“They are going for the core.”

The most important thing was the core.

The core is where the raw natural power of the spirit beast is gathered, a true treasure.

“King! We must not let them get it.”

“We need to head there right away.”

The elders, who knew that the situation wasn’t favorable for them, asked their deputy king to act.

Dan Jucheon, who had the same idea, made the elders and the warriors move to the underground.

And ordered Baek Gojung of the Snow Sword troops.

“Leader Baek. Go to the ice cave and tell the elders there to follow the tunnel which the dragon drilled all the way here.”

“Yes!”

Dan Jucheon felt that it was fortunate that they didn’t lose too many warriors.

If they went into the underground tunnels and the Yulin warriors were indeed there, and Elder Seol Yi-jeong brings in another 500 warriors from the cave, they could attack the Yulin from both sides. If that all happened, then the core would belong to them.

Under the command of the deputy king, Baek Gojung and lieutenant Oh Young hurriedly went to the cave where the elders were.

Baek Gojung, who arrived right away, entered the cave.

But as soon as he went down, something strange happened.

“What is this?”

“Leader... this is the smell of blood.”

A foul odor that tickled their nose wafted from the underground cave.

A strange chill crept down Baek Gojung’s spine as he went down, but when he reached the last level, he was in shock.

“H-how did this happen?”

Five hundred men that were supposed to be there guarding the Adularia stones. Were in the form of numerous corpses scattered far and wide with traces of fierce fighting everywhere.

A single glance was enough to know that five hundred bodies were there.

This didn’t mean that the battle happened when the dragon broke out.

“Who the hell raided this place?”

Judging from the cuts on the corpses, they must have collided with an armed group of people.

“Leader here!”

While examining the bodies, Oh Young found footprints that headed somewhere.
