75. Weeping Soul Serpent (2)

Aiden heard this and smiled, happy that his friend understood his thinking. But before he could talk, Oliver cut him off.

"The fire is fine for now, but when we approach the nest of the Weeping Soul Serpents, the light must be out, or there is no point in taking another step forward."

Aiden heard this and casually waved his hand.

"There's no need to worry about that. When it gets to that time, I won't be a liability for the mission."

Seeing this, Oliver nodded and brought out the map to begin leading the group again.

With the light emanating from the orb in Aiden's hand, the group seemed to gain some added confidence and moved forward at a faster speed.

Despite moving much faster than before, the journey wasn't easy. They were traversing underground tunnels that were teeming with potential monsters.

Oliver didn't want to take any chances and would often pause at certain times to make markings and double-check his path at crossroads.
