Chapter 182: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 20
That possibility that everyone suddenly came up with inside their minds was the idea that they are now inside the boss's room.
"What if this place we are right now is the boss's room?"
It was Kayn who brought up the thought that everyone has been thinking for a while after still not finding the supposed boss's room.
"There could also be the small possibility that the boss's room doesn't actually exist," Friedrich argued.
It was impossible for that to happen since the gut feeling they are sensing right now doesn't lie to them.
They know that they are close to the boss's room, but they just haven't found it yet.
"How about we leave today and search again tomorrow?" Cedric can't help proposing.
They've been searching for around an hour now and everyone is starting to feel fatigued, especially Kimberly who has to cast the <<Aqua Lung>> spell every now and then so that they can continue breathing underwater.
"I guess that's our only choice," Kayn turned to look at the side. Unbeknownst to Friedrich and the others, he is now looking at Natas, asking the latter for help.
"I have a bad feeling about this, I just don't know what exactly," That was the only response that Natas uttered while wearing a clueless look on his face.
In order to not be noticed by the others, Kayn just slightly nodded his head before adding. "Let's get out of here and return back to camp,"
He decided to return not because he wanted to give up searching nor is it because he is feeling scared, it is instead because he believes that there are no things in the 'Tower' that his and Natas' both knowledge combined together can't figure out. If there is one, then he must get away from that place as soon as possible as it only means one single thing — danger.
Cedric and Kimberly can't help heaving a sigh of relief after hearing Kayn telling them to leave.
With that being said, Kayn's group slowly marched their way back to the entrance of the tunnel they took to get to this huge cavern.
However, they quickly realized that something was very wrong.
"Wait a minute, I remember quite well that this is where the tunnel was," Friedrich expressed his surprise.
Standing in front of them right now is a huge stalagmite.
"Kayn, I think we need to find a way to get out of this place as soon as possible," Natas informs Kayn with a dark expression on his face.
"Can you break that stalagmite?" Kayn approaches Friedrich.
"We would be attracting the nearby monsters if we do that,"
"Do you trust me?"
"Of course I do," Friedrich felt strange out at Kayn's question. But he knew deep inside of him that there was only one reason why Kayn is asking that sort of question.
Similarly, Roshan, Cedric, and Kimberly's expressions turned solemn.
"I can try to destroy it," Friedrich responded with a stern face.
"As soon as you destroy it, I want everyone to quickly swim as fast as you can. Don't look back, and just focus on saving yourself, do you all understand?"
"Are you planning on pulling the same stunt you did the last time?" Cedric shook his head. "If you do something like that again, I swear to God that I will knock you unconscious right now,"
"This time, even if you give me a dragon's gut, I still won't dare to think of staying behind in order to save everyone," Kayn wasn't saying this because he doesn't want Friedrich and the others to feel devastated again at his previous action. Rather, he saw Natas shaking his head multiple times to discourage him.
"Glad to know that we are on the same page,"
"Alright, are you ready?" Friedrich interrupted Kayn and Cedric's talk.
"Ready as you are,"
With a wave of his arm, Friedrich's sword was instantly covered by an aqua-blue-colored light.
The light turned brighter and brighter as more and more water element was being gathered by Friedrich's sword.
"As soon as I release this attack, immediately follow after it!" Friedrich roared.
Kayn and the others nodded their heads.
Friedrich turned around and faced the stalagmite.
"I don't know what exactly is going on, but I believe that you aren't supposed to be in this place right now!" Friedrich cliched his finger to his sword tightly.
<<Aqua Torrent>>
With the water element that Friedrich harnessed to his sword, all of its power came crashing to the stalagmite like a huge wave.
The sword skill came blasting forward, instantly destroying the stalagmite.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, it turns out not to be a stalagmite, but a piece of flesh covered in huge chunks of rock.
A thick layer of blood exploded like a puff of smoke.
Regardless of the unexpected turn of events, one thing is clear inside everyone's mind, which is also their realization of why Kayn informed them to trust him.
They have to RUN!
Whoosh!
In the next second, everyone started swimming toward the thick layer of blood. They didn't care about anything as the only thing inside their mind right now is to get as far away from this place as possible.
Unlike them, Kayn remained calm and collected as he swim. Though he was fast, he didn't forget one important thing.
With a wave of his hand, he immediately stored the huge piece of meat that Friedrich has cut inside his Storage Ring.
"Good job!" Natas commended Kayn for his quick thinking. To tell the truth, he was about to tell Kayn to get it, but it seems like the latter was a step ahead of him.
This was the clear definition of experience.
While the others were panicking and were only thinking of getting as far away. On the other hand, Kayn knew that if they want to know what exactly was trying to trap them just now, he has to get a piece of its body and investigate it.
