The pit was deep, and judging by the walls, it had been dug out by that combat creature. 'They probably dug this tunnel as an escape route for when things go south,' Chen Chuan surmised.
No wonder those people weren't in a hurry to retreat after realizing they'd been discovered. They had an escape route. 'Although, it's possible the tunnel isn't finished yet.'
He examined the marks on the pit's walls. The edges were worn smooth from repeated passage. 'There's no way this was dug today.'
'They most likely started digging as soon as they got here and have been working on it every day. So, where does it lead?'
He had no intention of going down himself. Instead, he used his Realm Token to contact An Shield. After a short while, several combat creatures flew in from a distance, entered the house, and began crawling down into the pit.
