Chapter 61: Ice×Water Elements
The five of them stepped into the warehouse through the gap that Mia had created. The first thing that came to their minds the moment they entered the place was how huge the warehouse was.
The space inside was over a hundred meters wide! Besides that, it was also very dark.
The next moment, their noses were invaded by a strong smell of decay. The air was thick, stale and almost sticky, as if the air inside the warehouse hadn’t circulated in days.
Broken crates, damaged shelves, and disassembled pieces of machinery littered the place. Some had marks as if they had been gnawed through by sharp mandibles.
Deep claw marks and slimy trails ran along the concrete ground and metal walls of the warehouse, evidence of the creatures that had made this place into their nest.
The concrete floor was uneven as chunks of stones had been displaced from beneath to the surface, giving clear signs that something had burrowed through it. In several spots in the warehouse, wide holes that were wide enough to swallow up two or three people at the same time opened into the darkness below.
Faint shattering sounds echoed through the darkness, multiplying and bouncing off the high ceiling of the warehouse like whispers of warning to the intruders.
Dim red emergency lights flashed from above and cast occasional glows that danced over the fallen crates and shattered glasses on the ground.
Though the emergency lights barely cut through the darkness, the five of them had no problems seeing.
They were all mages after all, and their visions were several times better than those of normal humans.
At the far end of the warehouse, a pile that looked like discarded uniforms and tools lay half-submerged in sticky translucent slime.
