Attack in the Tunnels

Moving within the dark tunnels, it did not take long before the party encountered demon beasts. Sometimes they would stumble upon the territory belonging to some beast hordes, while other times it would be a wayward demon beast who stumbled upon them.

The way they dealt with these demon beasts was simple. Hui Yue ordered all his friends to stay back, and he told all guards to fight them.

He did this for multiple reasons. However, the main reason was for the sake of tempering the guards. These guards had never killed anything before, not a human, let alone a demon beast. Everything they learned was from training within the caves and, therefore, their abilities were all suited to training rather than real-life fighting.

As one day took another within the dark tunnels, the guards started to reek of blood. Their previous naïve thoughts about the tunnels changed and now they understood just how much hard work was needed actually to move through the unlit parts of the tunnels.
