After giving the workers some basic treatment, Duanmu Huai ordered them to go down the mountain immediately. He also told Sakuya to go with them. Although Sakuya strongly objected this time as well, Duanmu Huai remained adamant. The reason was simple. Although he still didn't know what kind of monster was in that cavern, considering that the commotion this thing caused merely by chasing the workers had already shaken the town below until half of it collapsed, it definitely wasn't small. If he fought it, there was a good chance the entire mountain would collapse.

It shouldn't be.
Once he entered the cavern, he found it was indeed pitch-black. Even the beam from the searchlight
