Chapter: 24
In the end, the number of those who survived reached a whopping 100 while the number of those who died were more than doubled.
�Three hundred people were put in, and only one hundred of them survived.�
It�s not normal for three hundred young children to be imprisoned. No matter how big Sichuan Province is, if three hundred children went missing all at the same time, the powerful sects will not remain silent.
�But if they expand their range to other parts of the world then they probably won�t be noticed.�
In the case of Pyo-wol, he was arrested in Honam which was far away from Sichuan. So Yeowol and Song Chun-woo were also orphans so perhaps others are as well.
Even if they disappeared, no one would care and look for them.� They were the perfect target for anyone to carry out some secret conspiracy.
Pyo-wol opened the door to the next area. However, the scenery that appeared this time was different from what he had imagined.
A huge underground cave stretched out before their eyes.
The underground cave was so huge that if not for the torches hanging all over to light up the place, it would be impossible to even guess the size.
�Ahh!�
�Ow�
Cries coming from the children bursted from all over the place.
After being stuck in a place where there has been no light for the past few months, suddenly being exposed to a torch hurts so much as if their eyeballs were about to burst out.
It was painful for Pyo-wol too. Tears streamed down his eyes as if they were being stabbed by thousands of needles at the same time. Pyo-wol tried to adapt to the sudden bright light with his eyes half-closed.�
It took him a long time to get used to the light because his eyes had already perfectly adapted to the darkness.
After a while, Pyo-wol finally managed to adjust to the light while the majority still couldn�t open their eyes. Pyo-wol paid them no attention and proceeded to look inside the underground cave.
The cave seemed to have been formed naturally. The huge stalactites hanging from the ceiling were proof.� The cave�s structure was that it narrowed as it went up, like a bowl that had been turned upside down. Inside of the cave was full of buildings made out of wood.�
�The buildings were made crudely as if they were modeled after a manor.
�What?�
�What is this?�
The children, who recovered their sight belatedly, were surprised to find the buildings. It was already amazing to find such a huge underground cave. But seeing the wooden buildings standing in the middle which were definitely made by human hands made them vigilant.�
Pyo-wol strode towards the building.
So Yeowol and Song Cheonwoo quickly followed behind him, followed by Lee Min and Go Shinok.
Pyo-wol looked into the building at the entrance, and said.
�There are no people here.�
�Really?�
A light of suspicion appeared on So Yeowol�s face.� They continued to search all the other buildings, but they haven�t found anyone.�
The children had bewildered faces. They were wary that they would discover another person, but they didn�t know what to do now that they�re alone.�
While the children were bewildered, Pyo-wol didn�t stop inspecting the building.�
The building wasn�t very old. Judging from the condition of the wood, it was clear that it was made recently. The grain of the wood and the dust that had accumulated on it made it clear that it was made during the time Pyo-wol and the children were locked up in each section. JrNovels.com
