Chapter 1271


    Quincy seemed very easygoing as he spoke, but in reality, he had pointed out their identity and


    capabilities in just a few words.


    If nothing else, the title of future daughter-inw of the Nn Family spoke volumes for Rose''s social


    standing.


    Upon hearing his words, those from Stonedale and Eastshire immediately folded their hands and gave


    Quincy and his men theirpliments, with astonishment written all over their faces.


    No wonder Master Elrich would personallye here to assist them.


    It''s his honor to be able to work for someone from the Nn Family! On the other hand, Matthew


    looked totally unruffled, as though he didn''t hear what these people said.


    After exchanging a few pleasantries with the crowd, Quincy lent a rope for them in a seemingly


    courteous manner.


    To put it bluntly, though, they actually wanted Matthew and his men to go down into the pit as soon as


    possible so that they could use them as bait to lure out those guardian beasts.


    However, those from Stonedale and Eastshire werepletely oblivious to this old man’s sinister


    intentions, and they even thanked him with gestures of gratitude.


    Walking at the back of the crowd, Matthew dragged the crown prince with him, not wanting thetter to


    be bait as well.


    After climbing down the rope, everyone did find a cave down there.


    The cave was about two meters wide and three meters high, but it wasn''t until everyone entered the


    cave that they found another world inside.


    The cave was spacious, with numerous paths that extended in all directions, and nobody knew where


    each of these paths would lead to.

    Obviously, Quincy and his men knew the ways inside the cave.He chatted with those from Stonedale


    and Eastshire with great enthusiasm, seemingly discussing an opportunity for coboration.


    But in reality, while they weren''t noticing, he had secretly brought these people to the front.


    In other words, he was essentially making them scout out the trail.


    If there was any danger, those from Stonedale and Eastshire would be the first to bear the brunt.


    On the other hand, Rose and the others quietly ckened their paces and followed the crowd from


    behind.


    As a consequence, those from Stonedale and Eastshire ended up taking the lead, whereas Rose and


    the others followed behind.


    The young man next to Rose whispered with a cold sneer, "Sis, this bunch of bumpkins are so stupid.


    To think that they really went ahead to scout the path for us! I wonder how many of them will survive


    when those guardian beastse outter."


    Rose gave a smirk of disdain.


    "What a bunch of ignorant, conceited fools! It was for their own good that we didn''t allow them in just


    now.Since they insisted on barging in here, let them stew in their own juice then!"


    The young man let out a sneer while looking at the crowd with a look of disdain.


    Even those following them were gloating, as though Matthew and the others were but a bunch of idiots.


    Despite witnessing all of this, Matthew pretended to know nothing.He seemed to be walking beside


    those from Stonedale and Eastshire while taking the crown prince with him, but in reality, the two of


    them were walking in the middle—the safest spot.


    After walking for a while, Matthew had a growing sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere


    around them.


    Without being noticed, he took out a jade pendant and a mini Analeptic Pill before handing them to the


    crown prince.


    With that, everyone walked for about ten minutes.


    As it had gotten darker and darker inside the cave, everyone could only use their torches to light the


    way.


    Just then, some sporadic sounds suddenly sounded in the dark.


    At once, everyone stopped in their tracks with their hearts in their mouths.


    An elder from Eastshire asked in a trembling voice, "W-What is this sound?"


    Without saying a word, Quincy tightened his grip on his fan with a look of vignce.


    Suddenly, a sound pierced the air in the dark, as though something was flying toward them at great


    speed.


    Quincy swiftly dodged it, only to see a dark silhouette dashing past where he had been just a moment


    ago and then pouncing directly on the elder next to him.


    The elder let out a shrill, blood-curdling scream before falling face down onto the ground at once.


    The dark silhouette was swift in motion.


    In an instant, it pounced on the person next to the elder, who also fell to the ground at once.


    For a moment, everyone at the scene was instantly thrown into confusion.
