章 224: House Assembly

Nix activated what he was starting to consider his 'Stealth package', which included stealth, Dragon Eyes, and the Ice ring. He paused for a moment outside of the tunnel. It was roughly three feet in diameter, not quite enough to warrant 'hands and knees' but a bit too small for walking stooped over. The best option was walking with a very wide stance and exaggerated bent knees. The first tunnel ended in a small intersection and three new tunnels.

The natural warmth of the ground provided Nix with enough light to navigate, there were no thermal signatures visible in any direction. He took the far-right option and continued the hunt. Another minute of traveling saw a second intersection, this one was crammed with Tainted.

[Ice Flames: Lance]

Nix targeted the closest Tainted and insta-killed him. Immediately he reversed direction and headed back to the entrance.
