"That's more than enough. We will handle the rest ourselves." Jacob then turned to Malcolm and the others. "Mr. Cooper, 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."
Malcolm 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 seemed to descend deeper underground.
At that moment, Jacob 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 Jacob had made earlier, many in the group had begun to succumb to the corrosive effects of the negative energy.
