Chapter 162: Mountain Hideout (3)
There was no way that man could be the leader of the Five Poison Centipede Squad.
At least, that’s what I wanted to believe.
But bad premonitions never fail, and once again, my worst fears were proven correct.
The voices of the two warriors who followed the man into the cave confirmed it beyond doubt.
"Captain! The vice captain has been dead for at least twenty or thirty days! Judging by the dried, red-stained skin around the neck, it looks like she took her own life using Fire Annihilation Poison..."
There was no mistaking it. They were referring to the author of the journal.
Another warrior, who had been scanning the surroundings, suddenly let out a shocked cry.
"The breeding facility—! Huh? Intruders!?"
"Who the hell are they!?"
Their gazes flickered from the wide-open breeding pits to us, their eyes immediately turning sharp and dangerous.
Hwa-eun and I were trapped, like rats in a poison jar.
There were three of them here now, but obviously, the ones who had been outside would return soon—at least three more.
