I followed him after a moment of thought.
I would have really liked it. If there had been people outside, whom I could talk to and get more information.
The one I have and the one he provided me with is far from enough, but seeing there is no one. It left me with no choice but to follow behind him.
Soon. we reached the mouth of cave and entered inside.
It's a simple cave, quite large, with people artificially widening it up with the powers. Thousands of years ago. There used to be a massive mountain above us, but Prime had blasted it apart.
"We will need to go a few kilometers down to reach the real entrance," he informed. "Ok," I replied.
I moved while scanning the leftover presences. I am sending quite a lot of people and a few of them are familiar. They were in the realm.
Now, they have come here to hunt me, with me already being late for my own hunting party.
It didn't take more than a minute before we stopped.
In front of us, is a massive translucent film of thick energy. The caves are part of the world, but due to differences in their energy, the film appeared at various entrances. This is good because the energy inside is extremely powerful. If it had come out of the cave; it would have changed the area for millions of miles.
This film is a glassy blue and looks beautiful, but it is extremely dangerous.
If the Sky Sovereign tries to pass through it. It will fry them. If they survive, the pressure will crush them.
Despite that, the film is considered the safest part of the Pakalim.
"Let's go," said Carter and stepped inside. I followed behind.
The next moment, I felt the power of film and its pressure. It is high enough, that if it will injure Initial Prime, if they are not careful enough.
I appeared on the other side, and it looked so different.
There are caves on the other side, but there is also powerful dense energy and caves covered in dense colorful moss, which covers nearly every inch of the caves.
They are the big reason, the Palakin is as safe as it is.
They filter the energies without them. The energies would have been much harsher than they are right now.
"A safety tip. Only walk in the caves where the moss is," he said.
I wanted to say. I know, but I just nodded.
"So, where do you think he will be? In the caves with moss or at those without it?" I asked with a smile and got a look in return.
It is a frustrating question.
The rationale told us he could be on both sides. Sorry, I could be on both sides.
I could be in the caves without moss. It is dangerous and might make some people nervous about venturing there, or I could be in the caves where moss is like most people searching for me in dangerous caves without moss.
It is quite a conundrum that I am enjoying a lot.
I will not be taking the lead, but I will find a way to ditch him. After, I came across a few people, and let them see that I had come with Carter.
It will ward me against any suspicion they might have.
We walked through the caves. Looking at the moss and trees that had been pulled and harvested.
Unique resources grow here, but only a daring few come to harvest them.
A few minutes passed as we moved through caves, where the energies got denser and denser. Till, we had reached one, which made Carter stop.
"The storm had gone through here," said Carter suddenly.
"How can you tell?" I asked.
I could tell myself. My senses are sharper than him. I noticed the faint difference despite the moss looking like moss in the tense of caves we had passed through.
"Focused your soul sense on them carefully. You will notice, a faint change," he replied, and I did as he asked.
A few seconds later, my eyes lit up.
"You are right, this moss is new," I said, to which he nodded.
"Storms here are powerful enough to kill us, but they couldn't kill the moss. This moss takes all but a few hours to grow back to its full after the storm," he stated.
The storm kills the moss, but it also contains energies that supercharge its growth. The source of thɪs content is novelꜰire.net
I am collecting samples of them. It is one of the things I wanted of this realm, after reading the information.
Half an hour passed by, and we entered a cavern.
It's not big, but it's not small either. It had a lake with the glittering water.
"There had been a battle here," I said, looking at the sighs. Carter nodded.
There are monsters in this place. There was likely one who had been in the lake. It was killed by a person.
I collected the samples of the water and moved ahead.
An hour passed, and we passed through two caverns. Saw the signs of storms and the battle. Not only between the monsters and people, but also people against the people. There are signs of them all over, but we have not seen them anywhere.
We didn't come across a single person.
Which isn't as strange as it looked. This place is vast, with a complex network of tunnels. It would be completely normal, even if we come across anyone for the day. "A jump pad," said Carter suddenly as we came across a translucent silvery screen covering a tunnel.
These are screens that appear randomly for a few hours. Once entered, they will send you away in a completely different tunnel randomly.
Thus the name jump pads.
They are dangerous as they could send one to the places where they could be killed in an instant.
We looked at it for a few seconds and took a step away when the screen rippled, and something shot out of it.
