While Antonidas battled the metal monster, Ye Ting and the other two followed the deep tunnel that had been dug, pursuing them onward.
The tunnel did not appear particularly wide, only a little over two meters high.
From this, it seemed the thieves were not much larger than ordinary people.
Its width, however, was a full two or three meters, enough for roughly two people to pass side by side.
During the excavation, the thieves had evidently divided the work into two groups.
One group was responsible for digging.
The other carried the dirt out.
Like the previous pit, the walls of the tunnel were covered in white spider silk.
This silk was not sticky like ordinary spiderwebs. It felt somewhat like dry nylon or silk, likely a special type used specifically to aid underground construction.
Yet through the spider silk, Ye Ting could still roughly determine the Nerubians' size, numbers, and when they had left from the marks in the dirt.
"The traces are still obvious. We can still catch up."
At the thought, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
The three of them quickened their pace.
But the tunnel soon came to an end.
Stepping out of the tunnel's exit, the three arrived in a far wider passage.
The new tunnel was clearly far more official than the previous one, which had obviously been dug in haste.
Solid stone-brick flooring beneath their feet.
Walls and ceilings built of stone bricks.
A slightly damp environment.
And a distinctly foul stench.
Although they were still deep in darkness, the three sensed that something was wrong.
In the end, Archmage Ansirem's words revealed what was strange.
"This... isn't this Dalaran's sewer system?"
Yes.
They abruptly realized that the tunnel the thieves had dug into the treasury was actually connected
