“That's more than enough. We will handle the rest ourselves.” Jared then turned to Matthew and the others. “Mr. Campbell, the dangerous aura is especially intense down here. All of you have to be on your toes and don't wander off from the group.”
Matthew nodded in response before the group kicked off their journey. After walking for a long time, they couldn't see any other routes other than the straight tunnel in front of them that seem to descend deeper underground.
At that moment, Jared and his entourage had no idea how deep underground they were. All they could feel was the negative energy growing more intense. Despite holding onto the copper coin Jared had made earlier, many in the group had begun to succumb to the corrosive effects of the negative energy.
Jared took back the copper coins and carved charms onto them with the Power of Dragons.
Everyone felt invigorated when the copper coins were returned to them, and Great Diviner was further awed by the power Jared had demonstrated.
“Mr. Chance, we have lost track of how long we have traveled and how far we have walked, yet there doesn't seem to be anything here, let alone anything dangerous. I'm just wondering how much longer we should keep this up,” Great Diviner asked Jared.
It was a just matter of time before everyone was driven crazy by the pressures of the dark and sinister environment.
“Let's just walk a little bit more before we decide.” Jared, too, had no idea how long more they had to go on before encountering something.
Right when Jared had spoken, the supposedly bright skull dimmed abruptly.
“What's wrong?”
The sudden darkness gave everyone a fright.
Unlike the others, Jared was a sea of calm. “On your toes, everyone.”
A breeze filled with negative energy blew past them. It was quickly followed by a chaotic screech as if a flock of birds was flying toward them.
Due to the darkness, all they could feel was the turbulent flow of aura around them. It felt as if the negative energy in their surroundings had come alive.
