Escape

After ascertaining An'an's condition, Bluepool had no further reservations. He carried An'an and was planning to leave.

"Where did you come from? Why weren't you discovered?" Bluepool asked.

The young man smiled proudly and then turned to leave. "Snake beastmen can dig."

Bluepool was struck by the realization and hurried to follow after him.

The hole was made in a woodshed that was very close to the river. Humidity was coming out from the hole, and when it was high tide, the water from the river would probably flood up into the woodshed.

Bluepool said, "You'll have to fill it up in the future."

"Why?" The young man asked sluggishly.

Bluepool said with certainty, "Otherwise, this hole will probably remain here forever."

That bunch of lazy guys would probably not care about such a massive project.

"Let's escape first." The young man looked toward An'an, then said, "Hand her to me. I'll bring her out. You'll lure them away."
