Finding those responsible

The fog around the Sacred Mountains did not disperse, and the tarantulas hidden within it still lingered.

When these 2,000-odd people arrived at the foggy region, they did not stop in their tracks like normal people would. Instead, they plunged right in.

But surprisingly, their pace did not seem to be affected by the fog at all. They continued advancing into the heart of the Sacred Mountains without any hindrance.

It had been a long time since anyone came to this abandoned land. When the tarantulas discovered there was prey, they started converging on this unit of soldiers.

But when the tarantulas appeared, these soldiers did not panic one bit. One of them took out a black box that played a strange sound. When the tarantulas heard the sound, they immediately retreated.

It seemed the soldiers did not intend to kill the tarantulas. Instead, they wanted to use them as a natural protective barrier to continue guarding the secret of this place.
