Chapter 223 - Serasu Deployment (1/2)
”I don't recognize the area.” The Breach exit was located in a small wooded valley. ”Scout around Ducky, could be that there are more Taints here.” Nix checked his map and verified they were on an uncharted landma.s.s north of Jhabi.
”Those things smell bad, Nix.” Mort pushed a wet nose into the back of his head.
The corpses had only been dead a few minutes; however, they were already starting to decompose.
Nix started walking north down the valley. ”I wonder if removing the dragon scale hurried things along. At this rate, they'll be bones in a few days.”
Morti waddled alongside him, his big nose high in the air as if tasting it. ”This place is kinda scary.”
”Don't be such a baby. You're the biggest one here.”
Morti nodded in agreement. ”I'm very big. Ferocious, too, that's what Ducky says.” The black cave bear halted his steps and turned his head toward the dense undergrowth. A moment later, Ducky exited.
”There's a small tunnel leading down at the far end of the valley.” Ducky had her bow slung over one shoulder.
[You have received a package through Direct Communication:1 Vial of Pure Dragon Blood.]
Nix raised one eyebrow. ”Guess I should pay more attention to what my skills can do. ” He opened the package and stowed the vial in his inventory before turning back to Ducky. ”How big is this tunnel?”
”You and I will have to crawl through, but Morti definitely won't fit.” She patted the black cave bear's head when she said it.
”I'll send you back Morti when we get to an area that's big enough to fight, I'll call you back in.”
”Okay. Send me to the River, please.”
”You got it.”
[Create Breach: Haven]
Nix waited until the bear waddled through the breach and then started towards the end of the valley at a trot.
A few minutes later, he stopped at the narrow looking tunnel dug into the red dirt. There were thousands of claw marks scratched into the walls. Any normal-sized person would have to crawl on their hands and knees to get through.
/Inferno: Nix: I can't decide who I should deploy, so everyone needs to get ready for a Guild deployment. 15 minutes. That means the Inferno Rangers also Captain Locas.
/Inferno: Locas: Understood, Sir.
