Chapter 457 - 457. Lure



With this mentality, Walker moved back toward the other cave entrance and felt that the breeze was cooler. "I think the cave leads toward a deeper part of the cave system. If the air was warmer it would be coming from higher right?"

"That sounds correct leader. I think that we may have a mole that came from the deeper natural cave system to look for food." Su was having the same thoughts the entire time. 

"Will we go down in to a natural cave to find the mole? Or will we wait it out here?" Gil wasn\'t sure if it was the best idea to go searching a place that was unfamiliar and completely uncharted. 

"Yeahhh I\'m not going hunting in a place like that. We should just lure it out with crystals, You should have enough in your inventory." Remey was all for Gil\'s idea. She was against venturing in to another cave and risking any loss. The longer she was here the less time she had to learn a new potion.

"Brother, I can feel the ground vibrating softly. I feel like there is a monster digging around below us." Onyx stopped the entire conversation with this one sentence. 

"We should move in and see if it will come up." Walker pulled a handful of elemental mana crystals from hios inventory and used his high earth sculpting skill to open up the other cave path. 

The party was slow moving but did not hesitate to move forward. This was a larger section of cave and was clearly the main crystal farming area. The walls were scraped up and showed signs of being cut in to by various tools. 

Midnight had used her shadow wrapping skill yet again to hide herself away. As she had been growing Walker was worried that she would be outgrowing the skill due to her body size, but this fear was unfounded. Midnight appeared to have a denser darkness element wrapping around her than before hiding her even better. So much so that Walker was losing track of her if he even blinked.

Gil motioned for them all to take a look at the path ahead which had much more dirt dug up around the walls. There had been some recent activity here which was even more apparent when they could see the small pieces of crystals still left in the walls. 

Using Onyx as a translator to p[ass on the messages Walker made a warning, "The dirt is soft here so be careful of your footing. We don\'t know where the entrance to the other cave is." Walker had an eye out for any p[lace a monster could have crawled out from and was coming up empty. 

The party heeded his words and allowed Onyx to maintain the lead. Every once in a while they would stop while Onyx felt for vibrations. He was still feeling the same ones below them and Walker had a feeling that the mole was bringing the crystals it had pilfered from this cave and brought it back to the natural cave to eat. 

"If the mole is bringing the crystals back to the natural cave below this then it might have a large amount to eat. We could end up waiting much longer than we think." He finally brought this theory to the rest of the party\'s attention for fear that they would end up waiting for too long and need to abandon the quest all together. 

"I hate to say this, but that would mean we should go down. Can you at least sense anything about the shape of the natural cave below us?" Gil wanted to make sure that they wouldn\'t be going on totally blind. If they could get an idea of the dimensions of the cave then they could try and prepare themselves for the battle against the glowing mole. 

Su slowed her pace making Remey bump in to her. "Su, what\'s wrong?" Su was slowly lighting up, her face showed a brilliant realization. 

"The lure orb. Use it to attract the mole and we can launch our first attack. We can hold back while Walker waits for the mole. When he sees it he lets us know and we all jump in to battle. Gil can have his arrow ready to deal a large hit and Remey can follow up with her defense breaking palm. Before it can react I will taunt and then Midnight can get it from the back while it goes for me." Su had it all planned it all out already.

"We will move with Su\'s plan then. Onyx, you will stay on communication and look out while we prepare. If it even tries to come up here you sound the alarm and we will go all out." Walker was not willing to take any chances. With their plan, they were going to be able to take the mole down without major stress. 

The party moved in to place and located the hole the mole had broken through. With Walker waiting at the edge he slowly channeled the light elemental mana to create the blue lure orb. As it came in to being above the hole he kept his gaze down and avoided the tempting blue light. He had hopes that the mole would still be attracted to it.
