Despite his deep reluctance, Irving knew he had to coborate with the two elders of the Night des. Moreover, he sessfully obtained clues about hispanions'' whereabouts from them.


    Irving had no intention of allowing the werewolf leader''s subordinates to apany him. He believed their strength was simply too inadequate.


    "I''m heading to the other side of Shadow City," Irving said, his tone dark as he addressed the werewolf leader. "ording to the clues provided by the elders of the Night des, that''s where mypanions werest seen."


    The werewolf leader nodded, his gaze fixed intently on Irving. He could sense that Irving''s emotions were somewhat chaotic. Mixed within his anger and frustration was an inexplicable sense of joy.


    The werewolf leader couldn''t fathom why Irving exhibited suchplex emotions, so he decided to observe him more closely.


    "Will you being with me?" Irving asked directly. "If you want to join me, you should send your subordinates to a safer location. I doubt they have the strength to take part in what lies ahead."


    The werewolf leader pondered for a moment and then turned his attention to his subordinates. In an instant, the werewolves grasped the meaning behind their leader''s gaze.


    The werewolves quickly vanished into the dpidated buildings surrounding them.


    "They have hidden ording to my orders. Can we proceed immediately?" The werewolf leader asked Irving straightforwardly.


    Irving nodded. "We can move out right away!"


    Without the burden of the werewolf leader''s subordinates, both Irving and the werewolf leader moved with remarkable speed. They reached the entrance of the massive structure where Elder Lawrence had been hiding in less than fifteen minutes.


    As soon as heid eyes on the enormous building, the werewolf leader was reminded of a memory he would rather not revisit. A pained expression crossed his face, which did not escape Irving''s notice.


    "What''s wrong? Is this building familiar to you?" Irving asked calmly.


    The werewolf leader nodded. "This building is indeed very familiar to me! It is the sacrificial site of our n! Some areas of Shadow City were once our territory."


    Irving was taken aback by this revtion. He had not anticipated that the werewolf leader''s n had once held control over a part of Shadow City.


    "Since this building is your n''s sacrificial site, you should know it quite well, right? And if I''m not mistaken, sacrificial sites often have some strange phenomena associated with them," Irving remarked, although he wasn''t particrly knowledgeable about the werewolf leader''s n.


    However, Irving did have some understanding of the sacrificial sites of other primitive tribes. Such sites often exhibited very strange phenomena. This wasrgely due to the fact that the sacrificial sites of primitive tribes typically honored powerful and mysterious entities.


    For instance, in the primitive tribe Irving had encountered before, they worshiped the King of Lightning. As a result, various forms of lightning manifested in their sacrificial site.


    The pained expression on the werewolf leader''s face eased somewhat. He began to share everything he knew.


    "You are correct; there are indeed very strange phenomena associated with our n''s sacrificial site. Our n''s sacrificial site is actually our underground tomb. All members of our n are buried in the underground tomb after they die, which means there are numerous remains of our n members within it.


    Every member of our n worships the great Wolf God. Therefore, their bones also belong to the Wolf God. Over time, the power of the Wolf God has deeply seeped into the underground tomb due to our n''s continuous sacrifices.


    Thus, anyone who approaches the underground tomb will gradually be eroded by the Wolf God''s influence.


    If yourpanions have truly entered the underground tomb, they will soon be transformed into werewolves. Moreover, this transformation process is irreversible."


    After hearing the werewolf leader''s words, Irving realized he needed to elerate his actions.


    "Then let''s hurry up and act! I certainly don''t want mypanions to be transformed into werewolves! While I don''t think there''s anything wrong with being a werewolf, I''m sure some of mypanions would prefer not to be one."


    After saying this, Irving quickly led the werewolf leader into the massive building. Although the werewolf leader was familiar with the structure, it had been modified by the Night des. This meant that the two of them would need to spend some time searching for clues within the building.


    During this time, Elder Lawrence was leading Irving''spanions deeper into the underground tomb.


    As they followed Elder Lawrence, Irving''spanions were also brainstorming ways to escape. Aron kept a vignt eye on their surroundings. He felt an eerie presence in the underground tomb. Although he couldn''t see anything, he sensed that something was lurking nearby, observing them.


    "Have you noticed that it seems like something is watching us?" Aron whispered, trying to keep his voice down as he addressed Benjamin and Nick.


    Nick looked around, slightly panicked. "I haven''t seen anything around us! What exactly have you noticed?"


    Benjamin remained calm, unlike Nick, his expression steady andposed.


    He simply said to Aron, "I haven''t noticed anything else around us that''s observing us. I just feel that the underground tomb is extremely eerie. Although the area around us seems rtively normal, the temperature is far too low. I have a strong sense that if we continue moving forward, we will encounter a very dangerous situation."


    While Benjamin and Aron had slightly different feelings, both of them sensed that continuing forward would likely lead to great danger.


    Just as the three of them were discussing the situation in the underground tomb, Anna, who was at the back of the group, suddenly stopped. This puzzled Wendy, who was not far ahead.


    "Don''t stop! If we fall too far behind, we''ll end up in an even worse situation," Wendy urged, believing that staying with the group was the only way to ensure the safety of both herself and Anna.


    However, Wendy''s words did not prompt Anna to move. She stood there, staring nkly into the distance, her eyes vacant.


    Wendy followed Anna''s gaze and soon spotted a vague shadow. The shadow had a wolf''s head and a pair of wings on its back.


    The moment Wendy saw the indistinct figure, she let out a loud scream.


    Wendy''s shout drew the attention of everyone. Aron, Benjamin, and Nick all halted, their senses heightened. They cautiously observed their surroundings while moving closer to Wendy and Anna.


    Elder Lawrence, who was at the front of the group, felt a flicker of anger. In a hoarse voice, he shouted toward Aron and the others, "Stop wasting time! Our time is precious, and we must reach the depths of the underground tomb quickly!"


    However, Lawrence''s words had no effect. Aron and the others were far more concerned about the safety of theirpanions. They quickly rushed to Wendy''s side and directly asked her what had happened.


    Wendy didn''t respond verbally; instead, she pointed in the direction of the vague shadow she had seen.


    The group followed Wendy''s指向 and soon spotted the indistinct figure she had seen earlier.


    "What on earth is that? Werewolves shouldn''t have wings, right?!" Aron eximed in surprise the moment he saw the shadow.


    Aron was aware of the existence of werewolves, so he wasn''t too shocked upon seeing the wolf-headed creature. However, when he noticed the wings on its back, he was utterly confused.


    Benjamin''s expression remainedrgely unchanged. He had encountered information about simr creatures within the intelligence gathered by his Ocean Group guild.


    "That vague shadow is not a werewolf. I remember the image of that shadow; it should be a messenger of the Werewolf God. My Ocean Group guild has encountered such creatures before," Benjamin calmly shared the information he possessed.


    "The messenger of the Werewolf God usually only appears within the territory of werewolf ns. Furthermore, the majority of the time, werewolf messengers show up during sacrificial ceremonies held by the n," Benjamin exined.


    His information only deepened the group''s confusion. They were currently in an underground tomb. Even if this tomb belonged to a werewolf n, the deceased members of the n could not possibly perform a sacrificial ceremony.


    "Are you sure the information you have is correct? How could there possibly be werewolves holding a sacrificial ceremony here?" Aron asked, slightly incredulous.


    Benjamin nodded. "I assure you, my information is very urate. It was provided to me by the leader of a werewolf n. The leader I mentioned is not the same one we just encountered."


    He added this rification because he and Aron had previously met another werewolf leader.


    After hearing Benjamin''s words, Aron furrowed his brow and nced toward Elder Lawrence. Aron believed that Elder Lawrence must possess a wealth of knowledge. He intended to ask him why a messenger of the Werewolf God would appear here.


    However, before Aron could act, Elder Lawrence suddenly appeared before the group. He was clearly displeased with Aron and the others'' actions.
