"The hidden passage has to be somewhere."
Marcus muttered to himself as he studied the shrine. The experts from Beastmaster Manor had searched the place for a long time without finding anything, so he had already prepared himself for a tedious search. Whatever secret the shrine concealed, it clearly wasn't going to reveal itself so easily.
Yet, to his surprise, the moment he finished clearing the courtyard of Soulless Spider Maidens and approached the entrance to the main hall, something unexpected happened.
Whoosh!
Black light suddenly shone from the two enormous stone spider statues flanking the entrance. Each was roughly the size of a bull, and as the light spread across their bodies, their pitch-black eyes began to move. Slowly, they turned toward Vixen Queen Camillo, who stood beside Marcus, and fixed their gazes on her.
A system notification immediately appeared before him.
Ding!
