章 250: Hot pot

They moved through the tunnels, Dave still on Grumpy and the six other basilisks behind them in a double file.

They entered some caverns deeper in the mine where hundreds, maybe thousands of stalactites hung from the ceiling. Each stalactite looked like it was made from drippings of fresh blood. Here and there some of the crimson formations descended all the way to the floor of the cave, in pillar-like formation.

Dave raised a fist and the group stopped.

Light flickered in a room at the far end of the tunnel cavern. Shouts, clanging and loud hisses came from inside. There was a fight going on in there.

Dave patted Grumpy's head, "Let's stay out of sight until we attack whatever is in there from ambush."

He didn't know how many monsters were inside the mines, but judging by the screams there had to be at least dozens of workers in there.
