Collapse: Raymond's Thoughts (2)

The Kobolds looked at each other, slightly puzzled, and one of them said, "There wasn't a hole here before."

If it didn't exist before, perhaps it was formed during last night's earthquake.

Looking at the map, the cave extended downward, likely leading to a deeper underground area.

Without wasting any time, Ji Chen ordered one Kobold to go down and investigate.

The Kobold didn't hesitate and readily agreed to serve the Lord. It considered it the greatest honor, even if it meant risking its life!

In terms of fanaticism and loyalty, these Kobolds were already on par with recruited soldiers.

A safety rope was tied around the Kobold's waist to ensure that it could be pulled out in case of danger.
