They ca fast, hit swiftly and ferociously, using the elent of surprise to their advantage.
The remaining spirit of the enemies was the ox. Right now it was apparent what the group wanted to do. If they wanted to kill that ox, it was an easy task.
The ox already lost two arms and a big part of its trunk. Yet the group of spirits wanted to capture it alive for further interrogation.
William and the golden spirit watched while the battle was about to end, and yet it lasted for a few hours. It wasn't that easy to capture an entrapped beast like that ox spirit. And in the end they managed to secure it, tied it up with tons of chains, before walking away.
"Phew," the mont they went away, the golden spirit finally heaved a loud sigh of relief.
"One day you'll tell why you acted like this in front of them," William winked, and the golden spirit simply harrumphed, saying nothing. When it thought back at the dirty little gift he left for William, it felt a lot better.
"I'll go and rest now," the golden spirit didn't want to stay out any longer as the danger was cleared, "you can explore, train, rest, do whatever you want, I don't care."
"Thanks for the technique," William waved at the golden dust before it vanished with a soft chuckle.
William could guess what the golden spirit was thinking of, and yet he never thought about correcting this misunderstanding. For him, he was sure the golden spirit would watch him using this technique later. And that ant he didn't need to provide any explanation.
The golden spirit vanished, and William wasn't in any hurry to leave. After learning his fate and future was tightly tied with the black fox spirit, he decided to take his ti and thoroughly study this place, digging up all the secrets he could find.
Like this, he started a spree of search and study for an entire day. During which, his team was still struggling digging the ground.
The deeper they went, the sturdier the ground beca. Things were looking weird to them, and they questioned if this was the sa ground they could easily dig before.
Yet they never stopped digging. And as they were busy doing this, Fang was still trapped in his puzzlent maze. Nothing worked, and he failed to dig the ground as well. The pyramids were indestructible, made out from materials he never saw before.
"Sht! After all this ti, I can't even find a single information or clue about what this place is!!!" After an entire day of doing everything he could, even to the extent of going all out, he failed to unveil a single clue or secret.
This place was like a huge mystery to him, a secret he wanted to learn no matter what. "How co I can't find anything about this place, and that kid can?!!!" This was also sothing that got on his nerves.
It wasn't the first place he found and didn't get what its value was. Yet on every single occasion, he ended up leaving without looking back.
As long as he couldn't get a clue about sothing, he was confident that no other master could. But this place was different, as he was sure William knew everything about it. And that was the main drive Fang had to keep looking.
But failure was imminent and clear to him. No matter how he did, he wouldn't get a single clue about this place. "I'd better wait for him to wake up… It's weird, how co he hasn't woken up yet…" he turned his senses towards William, and the latter was sleeping peacefully like a baby.
William's body was engulfed in a tinge of black smoke, sothing that gave Fang a little fright when it first appeared. But when he examined the lad, he found nothing worthy of his worry.
So he dropped his worries, and refocused on finding a clue about what was going on here. But right now, he decided it was ti for the two of them to leave this place.
"Fck! This kid stings!" When he tried to carry William, he felt sothing like a cold sting, a little pain and nothing more.
In fact William had the ability to suck spirit power from anything and anyone he touched slightly activated. He didn't fully absorb the core yet, and he was also asleep. So this ability only released little of what it got, and Fang missed the little dip in his spirit power.
Fang carried William, got over that stinging pain that ca from ti to ti, and then moved towards the hole. And there he was t with another surprise he didn't account for.
"The ground… It's changed… It's crystallised…" Fang wasn't like the young mbers of the team. He was pretty experienced to recognise the material that the ground turned into, "I used to find such material around ancient places filled with tons of treasures… This place… It's without any doubt a treasure trove!"
Fang muttered before starting to dig. Unlike the team, he knew what worked best against these material. It wasn't an earth elent, but any destructive elent and technique would work.
His lightning technique worked best against it. The team took hours and even entire day to dig a distance of ten tres. Yet Fang needed five hours to find his path to the surface.
He ca out from a distance nearby from the team. The mont he ca out, the team noticed him and stopped what they were doing.
"William!" Berry was the first to run towards William, throwing herself at him. Fang could tell without the need to ask about how the team felt during the past period.
"I'm glad you are safe," he muttered, while feeling like a big burden was removed off his chest. He wanted to curry favours with William, not be the person responsible for the death of his friends and the entire team.
Fang stood by the side, watched how the entire youngster team mbers flooded William and checked him. Weirdly they never asked Fang any question about what happened, and much weirder was that they never asked about William's condition.
What he didn't know was that this wasn't the first ti for William to lose his consciousness. The team and his friends got used for this, and they knew their leader would co back stronger, hellish stronger, every ti.
"Let's go," Sara suddenly looked at Fang, "the city needs our urgent help."
"The city? Help? What happened?" Fang was surprised by these words, and as everyone left the place, he learnt about what happened to the city above, and noted the magnitude of damage that happened here.
