Chapter 136 - -49<The Stone City-5>
Arvin followed and the groups of the soldiers from a distance. Their group unlike the normal guards that were helping citizens, they were going straight for their destination. In between they came across a man that was stuck under the debris. But they straight away ignored him and kept on walking.
From this Arvin inferred that maybe these people were on a very important quest or something. Or from what Arvin knew the fennec fox unlike the humans were very passionate for the people of their own race. And if they are ignoring a person of their race in distress that shit is about to get real…
As Arvin was following them he noticed that these guys were going towards two mana signatures. Curious about will happen next Arvin quietly followed them. Soon Arvin came across a building. It was a small 2 story building. But the outside door of the building there two male fennec foxes were standing. They were the strong mana signature that Arvin felt from afar.
The strange thing about these men was that they were wearing a black color mask on their faces. While unlike a normal male fennec fox they were wearing a loose white color shirt with baggy pants down below.
As Tamaria and the group came close to them, they bowed while seeing Tamaria. Seeing that Arvin confirmed that maybe Tamaria was someone important in the fennec fox community…
It was then Arvin felt that some powerful mana signature was coming straight towards them. He looked towards Tamaria and her group, it didn\'t seem like that they had realized that someone was coming. Arvin didn\'t what to do next. So he thought that it would be for the best to enjoy from the sideshow for now….
As these mana signatures came close to Tamaria and her group, the masked fennec fox took action. Both of these foxes realized that these people were coming for them. So they first pushed Tamarian and the guards inside the building. And then they themselves rushed into action.
Seeing this Arvin wanted to follow them and observe the fight. But it was then he realized that he was not in any transformation right now. That meant that he could easily get spotted by anyone. So instead of observing these people, Arvin should run away from here. But then he looked at the building in which Tamaria had entered just now. He was very curious about what might be the reason for this action….
Arvin then observed that the coast was clear and no one was there to stop him, he could just take a peek inside and be on his way out of here. So Arvin started moving towards the building…
When Arvin got in he saw that this building was some sort of office. There was receptionist\'s table was just a few steps away from the entrance. While the whole building looked like that it was abandoned. Arvin just walked some steps when he started hearing loud noises.
He took out his ax and went on to start investigating. It turned out that this place had what looked like to be a basement. And when he came down he saw a unbelievable scene…
The basement of this building was a very small room. But as Arvin came down here he saw that one of the wall shelves of the room had been pushed aside. And behind that shelve was a hole which was lighted by torches of light.
The noises that Arvin heard earlier were the infighting between the guards of the Tamaria. Arvin saw that the girl was lying on the floor unconscious. While two of her guards were fighting with each other…
Arvin didn\'t give a fuck about the reason that these girls were fighting. Because his whole focus was on the underground passage. Arvin immediately took out his knives and in a step reduced the distance between him and the girls…
Those female guards were very weak. So it didn\'t take a lot of effort to kill them. Arvin was about to go in the passageway when he looked at Tamaria. She was a mute and innocent girl. Considering what Arvin saw earlier, he could guess that she must be someone important in the fennec foxs\' community. So Arvin was tempted to take her with him.
But then he remembered what happened the last time they were together… But then he still couldn\'t let this important trump card against the fennec foxes die out here. So he grabbed her quickly and then he entered the passage.
The whole passage was ignited with torches. But still, Arvin was very careful while walking through the passageway. He was very careful as he didn\'t know whether this passage was booby-trapped or not. And he didn\'t want to take any chances.
Carefully and slowly, after walking for a whole hour, Arvin finally came across the exit. Seeing the light at the end of the passageway Arvin got excited and ran full speed ahead. He didn\'t found any booby traps while coming here which made him believe that this passage was not booby-trapped. And thankfully as Arvin crossed the passageway he didn\'t activate any sort of traps…
When Arvin came out of the passageway, he saw that he was in some sort of rocky mountainous area. He saw that to his right there were a bunch of stairs carved in rock that was going upwards towards a mountain.
While looking at the surroundings Arvin also saw that there were pieces of rock everywhere. And some of those rocks had a painting on them. He then checked the exit of the passageway from where he came from. There he found some burn marks. This leads him to believe that someone had recently used this passageway and as they came here they blasted their way out of here…
Still, Arvin didn\'t care about that. He was more interested in getting out of here for now. So Arvin started going up the stairs. He figured that if this passageway was used as a means to escape in an unprecedented incident then these stairs will lead him to a safe house. And there was a very large chance that he could find a mount and supplies there. So he started going up the stairs…
Those stairs lead Arvin to the top of the mountain. And when Arvin reached the top he saw that indeed there was a shelter there. But it was made nothing like Arvin expected it to be…
Arvin saw that on the top of the mountain there was a white color building. That building although was small, it was in the shape of the white house of America. That white building was the size was a suburban house and was very small. And just beside the building, there was a small hut with open walls. And in that hut, there were several camel-type mounts were standing ready to go.
Arvin then felt that someone was in the building and was coming outside. And that person was not very strong. But still, Arvin didn\'t want to take any chances. Arvin then dropped Tamaria on the ground like a discarded bag and started weaving a magic circle. And when that person came out moved his magic circle towards Tamaria…
"Where the hell has you, guy, been???" the person shouted as she came outside. And as the woman came outside Arvin recognized her instantly. That woman was Velma….
"HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET HERE BEFORE ME?" Arvin shouted as he saw Velma.
While on the other end Velma became very shocked when she saw Lopt with her little sister. There she was her cute little sister lying on the ground unconscious. And Arvin had a magic circle pointed towards her.
"You… Leave her alone!" Velma said.
"Yeah… about that… That is not going to happen. Until I don\'t get out of this whole situation she is gonna stay with me." Arvin said.
"I swear if something happened to her I will hunt you down and tear your whole body into pieces," Velma said while glaring at Arvin…
"Do whatever you want to do… Now if you would excuse me I need to get the fuck out of here." Arvin said while picking up the Tamaria and was about to move forwards towards the mount when Velma urged him…
"Wait if you let her go, I will give you this piece of the key of the sacred temple," Velma said as she fished out a piece of jade from her spatial ring.
Arvin looked at the jade piece and instantly recognized it… It was the same jade piece that he has in his inventory. He was tempted by the offer but also found it suspicious…
"I don\'t want the jade piece. You can keep it for yourselves. I just wanna get the fuck out of here." Arvin said.
But what Arvin didn\'t realize was that Tamaria on his shoulder has woken up. Till this time she was just faking that she was unconscious.. And at the moment when Arvin said that he didn\'t need that jade piece, Tamaria abruptly sprung into action and stabbed Arvin a nail that she picked up when during the infighting of the guards….
