Chapter 2217. Ruin
After watching so many insects flee the valley, Han Sen and the others were drawn by curiosity to look back at the crevice. As they watched, a hand emerged.
The crevice was very small, so it would be very difficult for any being to push a hand through it. But whoever or whatever it was seemed to be unable to get out. After failing to push its way out, the hand withdrew and an eye appeared in the crevice. When it saw Han Sen and his people, the eye retreated and vanished.
“Is that a xenogeneic or a member of the Ice Blue Knights?” Ji Qing asked. The presence of the being had struck them all as being very odd.
The bugs must have been afraid of whatever it was, and that was why they had all rushed out of the crevice. The bugs weren’t aggressive, and it didn’t even look as if they ate meat.
“Let’s dig into the wall a little and see what’s there.” Han Sen was curious, so he moved over to the wall and pulled out his Ghost Teeth Knife. He slashed at the crack in the stone to make it wider.
The rock was fairly sturdy, but it was only an inch thick. Beyond it was a hollow of sorts. Han Sen dug out an entrance so that his people could walk into the place.
The interior of the cave was fairly large. An entire wagon would be able to fit inside comfortably. The cave wasn’t man-made, though; it seemed to be a natural formation. There were many stalactites, and there were many of those purple bugs scrambling across the walls and floor of the cave. Something must have bumbled through the cave and alerted the bugs.
“You guys wait here. I am going to go take a look,” Han Sen said, directing his speech at Huangfu Jing.
“Let’s take a look together,” Ji Qing said with a blink.
