Chapter 590: Underground (1/2)
After she finished healing him, Enrica rose from the ground and looked around, asking with a hesitant tone. ”Where should we go by the way? Scenario B is spreading our force and eliminating them one by one with the help of the Magicians but in this type of terrain…”
”No worries. That's why Ava is with me. Besides, the general location is that way.” Theo pointed at the west. ”Let's go.”
Enrica nodded and set off while Theo gradually rose from the ground.
Instead of following her right behind, Theo asked Ava in a low voice. ”By the way, are there people looking at us?”
Ava made the connection to what he wanted to do and shook her head after checking the entire place. She had found one Supreme Rank Expert observing them earlier, but he left after confirming that Theo and Enrica managed to deal with the hobgoblins.
”What are you doing?” Enrica asked while turning around.
”Sorry, sorry.” Theo chuckled and followed her without hesitation.
The trio returned to the group like how it was supposed to be, albeit there was another Theo standing in front of the tent where he found a metal plate.
Without hesitation, he walked to the previous plate and looked at it.
”Hmm, what I found earlier is…” Theo bent his knees on the plate while knocking on it. ”The ground should distribute the sound, but from what I have heard earlier…”
Suddenly, he felt a similar echo when he knocked on a certain spot. It was a long one, making him think there was something underneath.
Theo thought for a moment and used his Telekinesis to lift the metal plate.
The moment the plate was thrown to the side, a six feet wide hole appeared in his vision.
”Such a giant hole…” Theo muttered and remembered the hobgoblin's size. ”Wait a minute. Do the hobgoblins use this tunnel? Goblins seem to be too small for this. It's still possible though.”
After that doubt appeared in his mind, Theo took a peek at the hole and saw vertical stairs. In that instant, he was convinced that the hobgoblins were the ones using it because of the distance for each step.
”Still, this tunnel… I think I should report it to the scouts and have them investigate it. However…” Theo thought for a moment and sighed. ”Well, I need to confirm it first. If it's something used by the goblins, I may need to adjust my plan. At the same time, it will be dangerous to send the scouts here while I'm just a clone and can disappear at any time.”
He thought there wouldn't be a problem and chose to go down by himself to check the inside.
He jumped into the hole and used the size of the wall to free fall. It became dark soon, so Theo used his Awareness to check his surroundings, making sure he didn't hit something. He wanted to use his night vision, but all his equipment was in his real body, so it wasn't possible at the moment.
