There’s someone?

Yasen noticed the subtle change in Ji Chen’s expression and quickly asked, “What’s going on?”

“There seems to be someone inside.”

Upon hearing this, Yasen’s expression darkened, and he immediately ordered the elves and soldiers of the principality to stop moving the goods and remain on guard.

“Your Excellency, we don’t know what or who is inside. Should we send a team in for reconnaissance first?”

Ji Chen nodded, not refusing. While he had confidence in his own abilities, a confined and narrow space like this was not conducive to unleashing his powers. Charging ahead wasn’t the role befitting a mage like him.

A mixed team of elves and soldiers entered, and their green markers on the map slowly moved deeper along the narrow passage. When they stopped dozens of meters away from the red marker, they split into two groups and circled around, conducting an internal inspection before returning.

In the darkness, their figures gradually became visible, but they looked as though they had encountered a snowstorm. They shivered uncontrollably, their breath visible in the cold air, and even their eyebrows carried a frosty sheen.

“Your Excellency, the temperature inside is extremely low, and we didn’t see any enemies. However, there is a sealed cage in the middle.”

“A cage?”

Ji Chen furrowed his brows slightly.

Inside the Deceiver’s base, there was actually a cage?

Could it be used to detain someone?

Yasen also found this quite surprising and instinctively looked at Ji Chen.”

Your Excellency, what should we do now?”

“Let’s go in and find out.”

Since there were no enemies inside and only an unknown being trapped in the cage, it was safe to investigate.

The group entered the passageway beyond the gate, holding torches as they proceeded cautiously.

After advancing a few hundred meters, the surroundings suddenly opened up, and a violent cold air rushed toward them, making everyone shiver involuntarily.

Frost quickly formed on their eyebrows and hair.

Glancing ahead, in this underground space that was less than the size of a football field, the surroundings were elevated, with a central depression where a completely sealed metal cage stood.

Around the cage, layer upon layer of deep blue ice, icicles, and ice columns extended in all directions, even clinging to the rocky walls, creating a thin layer of ice.

The deep blue ice emitted a faint glow, creating a mesmerizing scene under the torchlight, with a soft blue light reflecting off the ice.

This scene left everyone astonished.

As they regained their senses, a sense of wariness crept in.

It was clear to everyone that this terrifying cold air and ice were emanating from the cage in the center.

For a moment, no one dared to make a move.

Why would the Deceiver keep an unknown being here? Friend or foe?

As their doubts multiplied, curiosity also grew stronger.

Soon, the bone-chilling cold became unbearable for the elves, and they all retreated from the area.

Only Yasen, with his exceptional combat skills, and Ji Chen, who possessed the power of the tides, were able to stand their ground in this frigid environment.

However, despite their resilience, the cold continued to cut into their bones like knives, infiltrating their bodies relentlessly.

As Ji Chen gazed at the metal cage shrouded in ice, he hesitated.

The fact that this cage could contain such a being and emit such terrifying cold and ice meant that it was no ordinary creature.

Opening it rashly now might release an unknown monster.

Yasen seemed to have similar thoughts and suggested, “I recommend that we leave this place for now and open it later after interrogating that silver-masked Deceiver.”

Ji Chen nodded slightly.

Just as they were about to leave the area, the elven officer who had delivered food to Ji Chen the previous night rushed in, looking anxious.

“Lord Yasen, there’s a dwarf causing a commotion outside in the camp!”

“A dwarf?” Yasen was momentarily surprised, his face contorted with anger. “A dwarf causing trouble here, and you didn’t fight back!?”

“We did fight back, but that dwarf is too strong. We couldn’t match his strength. Several dozen of our comrades have already been defeated.”

One dwarf defeating dozens of them?

Ji Chen was somewhat astonished. He had witnessed the combat prowess of these elves, but one dwarf being able to defeat so many indicated exceptional strength.

However, the appearance of a dwarf causing trouble in the elven sanctuary of the Maple Principality was indeed an unusual occurrence.

Upon hearing this, Yasen’s expression changed slightly.

He turned to Ji Chen and said, “Your Excellency, I need to return to the camp immediately to assess the situation. I won’t be able to accompany you here.”

Ji Chen nodded in agreement.

When Yasen returned to the camp, he saw from a distance a stout dwarf, small in stature but remarkably robust, tossing an elven warrior like a ball and grumbling as he did so.

“You elves have been boasting for so long, but is this all the strength you’ve got? Too weak, I must say! Apart from being a bit taller, I can’t find anything praiseworthy about you.”

“I’ve heard so much about your mighty pointed ears, but 1 don’t see what’s so impressive. 1 alone could take on a hundred of you!”

The dwarf’s words were undoubtedly like dancing in the minefield of the elves. The surrounding elven warriors were seething with anger, their temples pulsing with veins, but when it came to this dwarf, their eyes were filled with fear.

They considered themselves elite warriors, even among the numerous elven armies. However, against this scruffy-looking dwarf, none of them could last a single move. When they rushed forward, they couldn’t even see the dwarf’s movements clearly before being sent flying..
