A Mountain Reaching Endlessly?

Miles looked at the mountain range and with surprise. He activated the wing orb and floated to see the end of the mountain, but the mountain was endless, it was going as far as the eye could see. And it wasn't limited to its length, Miles couldn't even see what was after the mountain because after flying to a certain range, gravity that plummeted him to the ground descended on his body.

"What the hell is this?" Miles looked at the air as he left and the depression appeared with his fall. Luckily he wore the armor as he was falling thus the impact wasn't strong enough to injure him, but it hurt all the same.

"Can this mountain range be the Endless Mountain?" Coin asked.

"How can that be?" Miles shook his head, "We are too far from there."

The endless mountain was the mountain range separating C-Circle from B-Circle. When humans first leveled up to C-Tier, they noticed a giant mountain range separating the land from the rest of the world, and blocked their advance. But since they weren't strong enough to advance, they could only wait. But after years of working and getting to the pinnacle of Crown-Rank, they still couldn't pass through the Endless Mountain Range.

The mountain itself was endless and separated the C-Circle from B-Circle completely. Because the land was enormous they couldn't circumvent the mountain, but humans tried to see how far the mountain was reaching out but failed to see the end of the mountain from both sides. But the baffling thing was, nothing could float over the mountain. As soon as something came over the mountain, they would be covered with pulling force pummeling to the ground.

Now Miles had experienced something similar, Coin thought of the Endless Mountain naturally, but they were at the outmost perimeter of the G-Circle. How could Endless Mountain be here?

The jelly monster looked at him without moving its lips. Miles was used to the monster's way of communication by now, he knew the monster wanted him to follow it. Miles obliged and entered the cave. It didn't seem dangerous, and he was still in G-Circle, so he was fearless.

Darkness shrouded the interior of the cave, and Miles couldn't see far even with his dark vision. But thankfully, he could see the white monster bouncing in front of him. Miles followed the jelly monster and looked around. He also switched to heat vision from time to time to see if there is any other monster inside the cave, but he didn't see any.

After walking more than half an hour in a narrow cave, they arrived at an opening, and Miles was forced to close his dark vision. The interior of the opening was as bright as outside thanks to countless star-like stones shining on cave walls. The stones were stuck to the walls and looked like gems formed naturally. Miles approached the wall and tried to break it, but he couldn't even make a speck of dust fall from the wall, let alone crushing the wall.

"How hard are these walls?" Miles questioned as he took out the lightning sword and Coin charged it. He did a quick slash, and a hardly visible dent appeared on the wall. "No way!" Miles exclaimed. He couldn't cut the wall at all.

The jelly monster turned to look at Miles. There was a slight smile on its lips as if it was laughing at Miles. Miles felt embarrassed and followed the monster. The opening was as big as a few football fields at first glance. There was a giant underground forest in the opening and it wasn't limited to that. Miles couldn't see the end of it. There were some monsters in the forest. Miles detected them with heat vision, but that was all, a few monsters in a giant forest.

Miles couldn't see their levels from this far, but he felt danger when he eyed the monsters. This mountain was something he should evade and wanted to back away while he could. The jelly monster, as if felt Miles's hesitation, looked at him. In those bean-like eyes, Miles felt many emotions. They couldn't communicate, but Miles somehow could understand them.

"You are lost?" Miles asked. He felt loneliness, sadness, and fear. It was frightened and lonely.

"Are you separated from your mother?" Miles felt the monster's pain and Evelyn's face appeared in his mind. He could connect the dots.

He looked at the monster and sighed. He wanted to help it. He was curious too, and since no monster could attack them he wanted to give it a shot.

"Okay, okay. I will take you to your mother. But you better make sure no monster attacks us." Miles sighed and followed the monster. The jelly monster entered the forest and followed a path between dense trees. It was walking straight to one of the monsters Miles detected with his heat vision earlier.

"There is a strong monster ahead, why are you heading there?" Miles asked quietly. Jelly looked at Miles but ignored him and continued walking.

"I will ditch you if the monster attacks me. Alright?" After walking for some time, Miles felt his back going cold. A giant toad appeared out of the forest, jumping. It was at least 3 meters tall and the color of its skin indicated how venomous it was. Miles looked at the monster's red eyes looking back at him. Jelly bounced in front of the toad monster and looked at it. The staring contest lasted more than a minute in the meanwhile Miles thought of escaping at least 100 times. Because the monster was at least Form-Rank.

Toad monster looked at Miles and roared with a weird Ribbit! Its eyes pointed at Miles and looked at Jelly once again. Miles portrayed the conversation in his head as he shivered.

"Eyyo, brother frog. You see this daddy with the aggro repeller? Now let us go, no?"

"Ooh, sister jelly, I can let you go since you have a divine aggro repeller, but that ape, I want to eat it."

"No, no, brother frog, I cannot let you eat it either. I need that hairless ape."

"Sister jelly, you are being too much. How about I eat half, you keep the half?"

"Brother Frog is stupid, he can't live with his half body."

"Right, right. Sister jelly is correct. Sigh, no choice then. I will eat its arms and legs, you can have the head and torso."

"Brother frog, let it slack. I will feed you something else some other time."

"Oh, okay. Begone then."

The starting conversation ended, and Jelly looked at Miles. Miles followed it and the frog, surprisingly, moved out of the way. Jelly brought Miles to the debris. There Miles saw many smaller frogs much alike to the earlier giant frog. There were even tadpoles swimming in small swamp-like water bodies.

But what caught Miles's attention was crystal-like stones green in color. They looked like emeralds but the color was weird. Miles felt the danger seeping from them. "This feeling, is it poison? It can't be!"
