In the end, there was no need to move to the cave entrance Roan had selected before. That's because they found out about Valeu's fake Jade Slips and the real one in his body. Sure enough, it had an almost complete map of the cave maze of the Profound Abyss.
Seeing that, Rean couldn't help but comment.
"As expected, you guys were sent straight inside the Decaying Devourers' nest. I'm surprised that you were even able to escape more or less alive before encountering Valeu."
Calina had a slightly sad expression on her face as she recalled the time Valeu killed Silo and Erna back them.
"It was a mistake on our part. If we had just checked the Jade Slip with the elders beforehand..."
"There is no point in thinking about it. Instead, focus on the task ahead. We might have a good map now, but that doesn't mean we know where the Demon Beasts are. Don't forget that with the Surge, things became quite chaotic. I doubt we will reach a Vermilion Pool without finding a single one of them."
