"Hey, why isn't it lit?"
Hulim looked back at her and explained:
"That's a fluorescent moss called Fluorescent Blue Micromoss. It clings to damp stalactites and relies on the minerals and water in the rock to survive. It's very thin and fragile, and will break if you touch it lightly."
"Ah, so that's how it is. No wonder it went dark after I just touched it a few times."
"But there are so many strange and bizarre things in this world, I can't even remember them all."
"You don't have to remember it specifically. Species are disappearing and new species are being born in Himlir every moment anyway."
"Since the beginning of recorded civilization, all the creatures that have been known and named in Himlir, combined, are less than one-tenth of the creatures that exist in the world today."
"No way, are there so many unknown creatures in this world?!"
Miko was shocked by Hulim's words.
"Hmm... I don't know if it's true, but this is the conclusion some sages in the past have speculated."
“Wait a minute—!”
Hulim suddenly stopped.
Stare at the ground in front of you.
Miko and Alicia followed the direction of Hulim's gaze and saw the traces left on the ground.
"...Are these the footprints of that guy?"
Perhaps because the ground in this area is no longer entirely rocky and has some sand, there are some clear footprints left on the ground.
Looking at the huge footprint on the ground that was nearly one meter wide, Alicia began to think seriously.
"...Looks a bit like the tracks left by a bear-like creature."
She turned to look at Hulim again.

“… …”
Hulim didn't answer, but just kept staring at the footprints on the ground.
"Hulim?"
“… ..It’s okay, just keep going.”
"?"
Alicia looked at Hulim's back in confusion.
"Don't worry."
Hulim's voice came from the front.
"I already know what that thing is, I will deal with it..."
Some time passed.
"Why does it feel like we're going deeper and deeper underground? Could that guy be a monster living underground?"
Looking at the increasingly dark environment around him, Mi Ke couldn't help but speak.
"No, it's not."
Hulim answered casually,
“We should be able to see it soon.”
Soon, the three of them came to an underground lake.
Hulim stopped by the lake and stared at the lake in front of him.
Seeing this, Mi Ke looked around but found nothing.
I couldn't help but wonder:
"There's nothing here?"
But at this moment, Hulim held the Seven Stars horizontally in his hand.
"Mike, Alicia, please retreat back to the passage you came from."
"Huh?"
"It's coming out—"
