Chapter 74 Book 2 Mysterious Mine
The sun hung low in the sky, its golden rays casting a warm glow over the rugged terrain ahead. Li An stood at the mouth of the old mine, her figure framed against the ominous darkness that stretched deep within the earth. Around her, the air was heavy with tension. The once-bustling site now lay in eerie silence, the scattered remnants of tools and shattered wooden beams a testament to its abandonment. But it was the grim tableau of skeletons near the entrance that told the true story—their twisted forms locked in eternal agony, some with claw marks etched into their bones.
Li An's gaze was steady, though her heart carried the weight of caution. Her companions, a small group of warriors, exchanged uneasy glances. Each carried weapons suited to combat—spears, swords, and bows—though none of them had faced anything quite like the rumored beasts that lurked within.
