Intelligent Species?
After Agata agreed, Theo continued his search in one direction. Unfortunately, he soon found a wall standing in front of him. He rubbed the surface and everything around it before confirming the wall was a dead end.
He didn't find any gap in the wall, so he turned around and walked to the opposite side.
There were more monsters on the other side as he counted them while making his way to the endless darkness.
He had walked for around five hundred feet and found more than a hundred monsters inside.
He had lost count of how many new species lived inside the cave as he kept wondering when the tunnel would end.
To his surprise, after a long one-hour walk, he could finally see the light shining at the end of the tunnel.
Without hesitation, he ran toward the light, ignoring all the monsters.
He was stunned.
The light came from crystals planted around the wall. It was quite bright as Theo could see the tunnel ahead.
