After dodging the spider monster and swam away at a fast speed, the group slowly found some glowing water mushrooms which lit up the cave with a strange blue glow. When the group saw the group of strange mushrooms and their 'night light' effect, even the plant-tamer girl had to hold her breath in awe. "Mushrooms are actually not in the scope of plants, but I think I can tame some..." The plant-tamer girl was obviously interested in such unique creatures and the group also let the girl take some mushrooms for her collection. Anyway, these glowing underwater mushrooms were not mutant creatures and they didn't awaken consciousness or intelligence. After collecting the mushrooms, the group slowly floated in the water and swam deeper into the cave. The cave itself was made of countless strange rocks that looked more like ores and crystals than ordinary rocks, but the temperature inside the cave was actually warmer than the one outside because of the cave's wall! The cave was deeper and bigger than what everyone expected, but there was only one straight path, so they didn't have to worry about being trapped in another maze. Follow current on novelenglish.net
The problem that the group encountered was definitely not the terrain but more like the guardians in the cave. For every twenty meters, there would be a guardian monster or guardian plant and yet, these creatures never fought with each other. And to everyone's surprise, the guardian monsters here were smarter than ordinary monsters even though they were not as smart as beasts. These monsters should be naturally evolved ones with a rather high intelligence, making them extremely suitable to be the cave guardians. However, another strange thing was, once the group got a certain distance away from the monster or the plants that they were fighting, these creatures could stop chasing after them and returned to their posts obediently. This case happened a few times and the group had a complicated feeling for a while. "These guardians are just like trained soldiers...if not for our double barriers, we would have died the moment we met those guardians..." The double glass bead barriers along with the jelly barrier gave the group an additional boost because in those fights, the outer jelly barrier reduced the damage to the glass barrier by almost 50%. Not only that, but the jelly barrier absorbed various toxins and even the corrosive liquid that some guardian monsters here used. The jelly barrier was an all-rounded purifier but even so, the outer glass bead barrier had a lot of cracks here and there. Follow current on novel-online.com
If the group didn't add the inner barrier, once the outer barrier burst, all of them would immediately be exposed to the outside world and the monsters could easily kill them. Not everyone had strong physiques and in such an environment with an enormous water pressure, how could there people really survive for so long just relying on their fake mermaids and mermen bodies? The glass bead barriers played too many roles and everyone was glad that the plant-tamer girl was cautious enough to add new barriers made of her precious plant seeds. As time passed by, everyone gradually managed to adapt to the guardian monsters and plants that always came to attack them after a certain distance. The cave was deep and huge, but it didn't take too long for the group to run away from many guardian monsters and arrive at the depth of the cave. As they went deeper, the cave became brighter due to the many plants that could glow in the dark. As usual, the plant-tamer girl took a few plants for her collection and then, the group finally arrived at the most important place in the cave. This place had small rocks as a wall circling the center, and the place here was also quite vast, as if designed to give room for big creatures to play around. At the center of the cave that was now brightly lit with various soft colors, one could see a nest built from strange water plants, smooth rocks and many other materials that people rarely saw on the land. The group didn't need to rely on the 3D map anymore because this place was illuminated enough to see the surroundings. Follow current on storynovel.net
Strangely, there were no guardian monsters who guarded this place even though this place looked like the most important place in the cave. It was not that the monsters didn't want to guard the nest but it was because the cubs had a strong territorial instinct and in one nest, there could only be one cub. That's why, the biggest and oldest cub was placed in the biggest cave and the newborn ones were brought to various smaller caves. As for the mother monster, she should have given birth to a row of eggs at the bottom of the cliff and after the eggs become babies, the monster took the newborn cubs to their designated caves.There were many caves here, big and small, and the number might reach 30 with visual inspection alone. People didn't know whether there would be any hidden caves on the cliff or not. The mother monster had a strange cub because when it was first born, it was indeed an egg, but after coming out of the egg, the newborn cub became closer to mammals and even had to drink milk. This was strange for a sea animal, especially the ones living in such depth. The mysterious monster was suspected to be a kind of dinosaur, so it should be a reptile or something, but it was actually a mix between a reptile and a mammal. WANT MORE CHAPTERS?!
