The team instantly went into high alert, advancing slowly in a fan formation.
Flashlights constantly scanning above the rock walls and every dark corner.
Sure enough, as they went deeper, more similar scales, varying in size, started appearing on the tunnel floor.
The musty scent in the air grew stronger, mixed with an indescribable strange smell.
After a moment, the tunnel changed again, and there was suddenly a pit ahead.
The pit's diameter was about three to four meters. That indescribable pungent odor seemed to be emanating from this hole!
The group slowly approached the pit, carefully probing its depths with their flashlight beams, but it seemed bottomless, perhaps concealing a vast space.
"Should we go down?" Brother Quan looked up at Qi Yun and asked.
Qi Yun squinted, staring intently into the dark, deep pit.
"Yes!"
Brother Quan wasted no words and immediately commanded, "Da Pao, Old Bai, set up the ropes and establish anchor points!"
