Chapter 47: Nine Claws City

Stepping on the solid hard rock, a rigid feeling came. The pit was like a cliff, straight downwards. Without a climbing ability or something related to it, climbing down would be hard.

The strangling tree might have used its root to climb since it could use its roots to move.

Holding a rock he slowly climbed down. When he was climbing downwards, a slight breeze could be felt coming from the pit. Demons and animals couldn't really survive in this kind of environment for a long time.

But he was puzzled, was there a big cave or place that gathered people here or something, just climbing down this cliff and with no animals in sight they shouldn't have survived for long.

Still he didn't complain and went down. Extending his senses he didn't believe that he couldn't find the strangling tree. His perception could be said to be abnormal, even equaling to a third tier's was possible.

Climbing down for two hours straight, he was patient. If he lost his cool here and get distracted and fall down, he would directly be squashed from this height.

He had long turned off his extraordinary senses and only occasionally he would activate it to see the current environment.

Suddenly his face turned serious. In the last battle they had fought he had left a trace of his energy on the strangling tree. It was hidden very well so unless it advances into the second tier, it wouldn't be able to sense it.

If not for it he wouldn't try to actively seek for the tree, in this wide place locating it was impossible. And now he felt a very weak fluctuations coming from it. On the behalf of him activating his peak capability i was still faint, it was still very far.

Previously it could be said that he was wandering aimlessly on the intelligence he had received but now there was hope to locate it.

Going in the direction, after an hour and half he saw something incredible.

In the dark pit, there was light and the source of it was from a cave, surprisingly. Below the cave entrance there was a large rock, with flat ground, suitable for walking. The place above or around the cave was smooth, not suitable for climbing.

The only way to enter it was through the large rock. Climbing for awhile he reached the rock. On it he could finally stand again. When he came onto the rock, everyone directed his gazes at him.

"Gura, ferun tanu..."

In an unknown language the monsters on the rock whispered. On the rock there were all kinds of creatures. The majority were creatures with small height and gray skin with one ear and a horn.

Their eyes were dull but they were commanded by a bigger creature who had the light of intelligence contained within its eyes. While the smaller ones were naked this big one who seemed like the boss actually wore clothes, although it was crude.

Description:

[A gray skinned short race. Have facial features and a horn on the head with weak power]

...

This was the status of the leading intelligent gray goblin. Due to it being short and have some similarities to a human he just named the goblins. Well their power isn't much and he could fight ten of the maturity gray goblins at once and even defeating them.

This race should be quite a weak race. But it could also be attributed to his power.

Except for the gray goblins there were also other creatures, even demons. Very few were at maturity while others were at the limit-break stage. Seeing this Cylius's heart couldn't help but tighten. If all of them attacked at the same time ...

Fortunately they showed intelligence so it should be safe. Considering even the demons held back from slaughtering irrationally, they seemed to be afraid of something.

This had surprised him as an extremely irrational creature such as demons held back, there must be rules here and a powerful existence should be executing it.

Looking at the cave entrance that was ten meters above, it must be a test, the ground beneath was smooth with no rocks to grab and climb. But he was also very curious about one thing, that was how the weak people came to this place.

Not much longer he found the answer. There was a big eagle with the size of a house with eyes that seemed to see in the dark descending to the rock. There was enough space for it to land might even be enough for ten of them to land together.

On the back of the eagle there was a bone structure built that seemed to be a cover or a shelter.

Once the eagle landed the bone structure receded to reveal a group of gray goblins along with two monkeys. The passengers above got down and the eagle also flew away.

The monkeys showed a surprised look towards him and seemed to want to approach him. But the other monkey pulled it back and they ultimately didn't come to him.

After about ten minutes of patient waiting, a creature came flying. It seemed to be a mutant of a bird and a human. There was an additional horn on its head but when it looked towards him, a surprised expression appeared on its face as it approached him.

"Trainee?"

A low sound came out from him but it was heard clearly by him. Looking towards him the fluctuations of a second tier was shown and it was also quite powerful. Knowing that it could communicate with him Cylius immediately went up to him to answer.

"Yes. Can I ask a question?"

"Trainee from above, it is commendable to reach this place without the carriage's help from the outside. And yes you may ask a question"

"What is this place?"

"Its one of the nine underground cities-Nine Claws City. Its a city composed by the Federation to help the intelligent creatures living in the planet Farem. Its a gathering place of intelligent creatures within the pit. As a loyal guardian made by the Federation I'm entitled to ensure order of the A3 entrance of the city."

From the answer alone he understood a lot of things. If he was right, there are seven cities in the pit. As for the help they are talking about he didn't believe it. It was more likely to dig out the treasures and secrets in this pit. So they needed help and manpower so they created this city.

And the entrance to the city should be here.
