I Become Master of Danger Zones as Incubus With Mastery In Genetic Chapter 184: The Shallow of Hexun Cavern

"So, this is the entrance," Alros said, eying the massive maw that opened the cave system, connecting the Danger Zone to the world.

It is an impressive sight, the entrance being so large, it could fit an aeroplane, or maybe even a dragon if one decided to co here for so reason. It also show how vast and spacious the cave system is, at least in the more shallow part.

No doubt, the cavern will get smaller the deeper he went inside. Aside from that, he could also see so guards at the entrance. He looked at them and confird they are at least B-rankers, which show how much they value the cavern.

"Let's head inside then," he said to himself as he step into the Danger Zone.

"This is troubling," he said. With the need of a torch, because of all the abilities demon did not have is the ability to see in the dark, he was more vulnerable, with one hand being occupied.

He could use his tail to hold the torch but it will make him look earie, a floating torch besides him will make any adventurers he t be surprised and might get so terrified shriek of "GHOST!"

While he want to rush into the depth, the maze-like structure would no doubt stump and confused those that enter the depth. If he had to hazard a guess, there should be more death caused by being lost then getting killed by the monsters.

Thankfully, he do have so thod to ensure he will not lost. The demon left so Phantom Wasp at every intersection, with order specifically to remain in the area. The only issue is that they could not hover all the ti less other adventurers found them and kill them, but he solve the issue by creating so holes in the cave wall so they can stay inside.

After all, he did not have see what's coming and going through the intersections, only letting the monsters to be there so he could sense the connection they possess if he need to get out.

"I do wonder. The guards said when we get deep enough, we should not worry about the lighting," he questioned, rembering the word of the guards.

He shrugged. He would know about this sooner, so there is no need to worry.

"So, that's what they an," Alros exclaid. His eyes stop on the massive glowing blue gems, littering the ceiling like stars, illuminating the dark cavern, a torch being redundant here.

Then again, he did not knew how long the place will stretch, and so with it, the source of lighting.

"Let's put this off first before heading deeper," he said to himself as he put down the fla of the torch and put it at the side of his backpack.

He then walk into the deeper part. As he head deeper, he could sense the ambient mana in the air getting sowhat stronger. It might not be as strong as the one in Marsh of Torim, but it co close to it.

"Does the gems light up because of the mana?" he asked himself. He then went towards one of the easier to reach jewels and pried it of the wall.

A little examination prove his thought to be correct, and that the gems light up because of mana.

"Maybe I can use this to for the deeper part," he mused. After all, using the Mana Gems instead of regular torches do give him so benefits. Most of it in the form of not needing to buy fuels to light up his torch. It also have the advantage of not being hot to touch as well as did not emit smoke.

Not to ntion in case anything happen he can always grab one.

"Who don't anyone use these for torches?" he asked himself, before he walked deeper. Such question is not important at the mont. For now, he should focus on finding the monsters he want to catch.

As he head deeper, he could see so adventurers stopped and mined so of the Mana Gems. Aside from that, they also mined other ores and jewels. This is one of the reason why Hexun Cavern is so popular among not-so-rookie but still new adventurers.

After all, while the Danger Zone is dangerous, the more shallow part is safer, allowing the adventurers to be able to mine without any problems. It's likely only weaker monsters reside in the area and they were dispatched by the adventurers here with no problems.

Though, from the look of it, the deposit of Mana Gems seem to have been diminish, as there is none left except for those that stick to the ceiling.

"Alright. We done here. Let's head outside. Tomorrow, we will head to the other deposit," the leader told his man before leaving the area. Alros cocked his brows at the sight of them holding torches made from the Mana Gems.

After watching them leave, none of them paying him any attention except for so looks, Alros head deeper. While a part of him want to kill them for SP, another part decide it was too soon.

A change of pace is needed as his focus at the mont would be to grab the monsters he wanted.

-x-

"This is annoying," he mumbled, prying his spear from the dead Cave Bears. As he walked into the caves, he was continuously assaulted by monsters, monsters he has no plan in catching. Which make it easier for him as he did not have to bother capturing them.

However, killing monsters constantly starting to annoy him. After all, even as he walked deeper, and cavern started to beco narrower, only weak monsters appear so far, one he can dispose of with ease.

"Huh, let keep on going inside then," he said as he walked deeper. As he did so, he could see more adventurers mining for different ores. While there are no Mana Gems, aside from the unreachable one, there are a lot of tal ores, which is likely the main bounty of the Hexun Cavern.

'This cavern should be the reason for the Ravus' noble to co here,' he thought before heading into the darker part. His mission, one he took from the Adventure Guild asked him to get the core of three Cave Bears, along with it's paw.

He already got two, but now he need one last bear. His thought seem to be heard as one large bear roared, before charging at him. Thankfully, there is no adventurers where or he might have to silence them, which would be hard if they get a headstart.

His hands transforming into claws, he pushed it inside the chest of the bear, killing it imdiately.
