This immediately put Raine on alert.
Something is wrong with this foreman.
But... he had never heard of humans colluding with Kobolds.
For a moment, Raine couldn't make sense of it.
"These are the Kobold footprints, and they're quite fresh." At that moment, Fabian, who was walking ahead, suddenly crouched down, illuminating small footprints on the damp ground with a torch, and said.
"There are human footprints too."
"Wait, there's a trap ahead." Suddenly, Fabian raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
He placed the torch on the ground and cautiously moved a few stacked stones aside.
A thin line extended from the stones towards the mine shaft wall, where a bell was placed within the rock crevice.
Alongside the line upwards, a glass jar filled with black liquid was fixed at the top of the cave wall.
"It's a poison jar. If accidentally triggered, the bell will ring, and the poison jar will tip over."
