Chapter 309 The dark race is truly poor
?Kyle stopped in front of a medium-sized building. He narrowed his eyes with skepticism at the ordinary-looking door. Still, he entered the building through a widow because he was sure he sensed something good in this place. Just like the other buildings, the interior was rather simple.
Slowly, he explored the building by going from room to room, checking behind furniture and opening doors. Strangely, no one from the dark race was present in the building. As he searched, his eyes scanned the walls for any signs of hidden passages or secret compartments. And that's when he noticed a simple stone bookshelf. However, it was empty.
Kyle blinked with a raised brow.
"Huh? If they don't have books why did they place it here.."
With a grin, he pushed the stone shelf away from the wall. It was heavy but the weight was nothing in front of the delicious smell of treasures. His grin widened when a narrow stairway emerged from behind the shelf, leading down into darkness.
With a mix of excitement and caution, Kyle descended into the stairway, until he reached a wide underground room. However, the sight he saw was vastly different from the one he imagined.
The room was mostly empty, except for a few old plants and herbs that were messily scattered on the ground. In the distance, he saw a table and gingerly walked past the scattered plants.
Kyle's eyebrow twitched when he arrived in front of the table. A few bloodied weapons and some storage rings were all, that were strewn across the table surface. He sighed and massaged his temples because the weapons and rings belonged to Alec and the people who escaped a while ago.
"What did I even expect? The dark race is truly poor."
Regardless, he activated his skill scent perception to check if the room really had nothing of value. Instantly, his nose was blasted with hundreds of unpleasant scents oozing out from the dead plants and the surrounding walls. Yet, amidst so many scents he sensed it clearly when a calm and soothing smell flickered around him.
Kyle moved his head to glance at the few weapons placed above the table. He picked up the simple-looking sword and narrowed his eyes.
He tapped Jian's shoulder with a hardened expression.
"Why do you think she is so angry?"
Jian narrowed his eyes in contemplation.
"Maybe, she is missing Kyle?"
Nine nodded in agreement. The duo had only met a few days ago, but to their surprise, they instantly clicked, as if they were long-lost friends.
Haylee's eyebrow twitched when he heard the two boys clinging to his body. He so badly wanted to throw them away but he paused for the sake of the rules.
Unlike the two curious heads peeking out from behind Haylee, Rowan and the girls were training in the distance. Due to Haylee's presence, the insects did not bother them that much that's why they were able to easily pass their time in the castle.
After using up all her mana, Bia let out a huff and silently landed next to Haylee. The boar acknowledged her with a nod when he sensed the powerful aura around her body.
"Good job. If you keep it up, you might just have another breakthrough."
Bia closed her eyes. Just as Kyle had guessed, she recently reached (B-)-Rank. However, despite feeling drained, she couldn't help but be angry at him. It had been a whole day without any news from Kyle. If she couldn't sense that he was alright, she would have thought he had perished out there.
"Bia, are you hungry?"
A familiar sweet voice floated through the air, instantly diverting Bia's attention from Kyle. She shrank in size and pounced on Yue with a blissful expression.
-'Yes! It's food time!'
