In the underground depths glowing with an odd white light, Leo Ray and his companions had barely begun their exploration when confusion suddenly crossed Lannis's features as he led the way ahead, signaling everyone to halt their progress.
“Your Majesty of the Humans, something feels off.”
Lannis quickly returned to Leo Ray's position, his brows knitting together as he explained: “Up ahead, there are several incomplete Magic Traps, and the air carries a smell of fresh blood, which doesn't match the Medusa way at all.”
“The Clan Leader speaks truly; Medusas are famous for their wariness and sly nature—they'd never leave things so hasty and incomplete, especially if they suspected our arrival.”
A gray-armored elder Catman beside them lightly touched his white beard and nodded: “Besides, we're buried at least four or five hundred meters below ground, with a twisting, lengthy tunnel; no blood odor from above could possibly drift down this far.”
“Incomplete Magic Traps plus this blood smell that has no business being here—it's truly bizarre.”
Leo Ray lightly stroked his chin, thinking deeply: “Maybe the Medusas set up to confront us ran into some sudden trouble, leading to this half-deserted state? Or perhaps an unknown third force ambushed them?”
His words immediately stirred unrest among the dozens of powerful team members present.
In particular, the Catman warriors who hadn't caught on yet exchanged puzzled glances.
Remember, this was the Medusas' most secret zone, where other entrances boasted mighty Fortresses, and even this concealed Passage had been guarded by enemy temporary Fortresses in advance.
Before we showed up, those surface temporary Fortresses stood firm like iron, showing no trace of assault, so how could any group have struck here beforehand?
Given Belinda's cunning and devious character, such a lapse couldn't occur, particularly since Lord Leader never sensed her malicious plans, or we wouldn't be in this mess now.
Suddenly, a wave of anxiety started to creep through the group; the surrounding luminous white materials were creepy on their own, yet these baffling happenings only amplified the dread.
This clearly suggested that they might face not just Belinda and her supporters, but also that enigmatic third-party power.
At first, based on what everyone anticipated, handling Belinda and her underlings was the plan, tough as it was, with a clear enemy in sight.
Yet now, the unfolding events had thrown them all into disarray, turning the mission into something uncertain and tangled.
“What if Lord Leader's faithful followers spotted the enemy's scheme and rushed here to save Lord Leader?”
A middle-aged Catman powerhouse, lacking half an ear, lit up with hope and spoke out impulsively.
“We can't dismiss that idea entirely, but consider Belinda's profound cunning; prior to targeting Lord Leader, she'd ensure thorough safeguards, from capture to elimination, leaving no opening for Lord Leader's allies.”
The gray-armored elder Catman shook his head, rejecting the notion.
“The circumstances do appear strange, yet we must press on without delay.”
Leo Ray joined the discussion, giving a nod to the Catman warriors and stating: “Let's keep going; maybe fresh hints lie further in.”
“Your Majesty of the Humans has it spot on—everyone, remain vigilant.”
Lannis gave a small nod of approval.
With that, the group resumed their forward march.
This vast white Space offered just a single path onward, cluttered with towering, murky white crystals that looked like twisted odd stone columns, leaving viewers' gazes spinning.
Upon nearing these peculiar crystals, Leo Ray examined the Attribute Column too, yet it showed nothing, meaning they weren't resources or ores, but an unfamiliar material encountered for the first time.
Shortly after moving on, the blood aroma in the atmosphere intensified, while countless Medusa bodies lay strewn in disorder across the floor.
All these remains were flung about, with shattered enormous snake tails and serpentine locks scattered everywhere, horrifying onlookers and making several young Catman powerhouses gag.
Having scrutinized the area thoroughly for some time, Leo Ray knitted his brows.
Judging by the insignia on the bodies, these Medusas, just like the earlier ones, served Belinda, though no signs of additional factions appeared beyond her lackeys.
Even more startling, almost each underling bore wide, empty eyes and expressions of terror and Despair, clearly beholding something horrifying right before death.
“It seems like some huge Demon Beast devoured them; these lackeys couldn't even resist.”
The gray-armored elder Catman gazed at the limbs and pieces littering the ground, gulping despite himself; even with his veteran combat history, he'd never witnessed such a chilling, frenzied slaughter.
“Perhaps an Illusion Technique tricked them into turning on each other?”
The one-eared middle-aged Catman powerhouse treaded carefully over the crimson, tacky floor, muttering the thought aloud.
