Whish!
A stone whizzed through the air, precisely hitting the back of a man's head with a 'thud.' The man felt as if a heavy hammer of ten thousand pounds had struck him, shattering his skull. The stone penetrated his cranium, turning his brain into a mush.
The man didn't even have time to let out a groan before his body went limp, blood streaming from his seven orifices as he collapsed to the ground.
"So, there really is a secret underground passage at the Lin Family Manor..."
Su Mu quietly landed from the eaves, arriving before the fake mountain. A gust of cold wind blew from the opened path, bringing with it a foul, decaying, and moist stench.
Inhaling deeply, Su Mu smelled a strong, unpleasant mix of blood and metallic rust, and he could faintly hear metal clashing sounds, as if someone was forging iron underground.
The pitch-black tunnel before his eyes was utterly frightening.
"This is the place."
