The next day
In those days, houses or even inns would have a trap door leading underground, and the Crimson Fairy was no exception. The men followed Xiyu down the winding spiral metal staircase which she said led to the hidden underground chambers. The four of them were armed with only a torch, but Dongyue knew Xiyu would go nowhere without her ice dagger.
Following that, Xiyu then cast a spell to bring forward a small flame, which she used to light up the torch. The dark surroundings of the underground chambers now appeared brightly before them. A gigantic stone door that was painted gold with mini-statuettes of the ancient beast, the kirin and various symbolic carvings stood in their way.
