Chapter 970: Oh Shit! (1/2)

Krune, the Seamstress, and Solare appeared within an expansive cave. It was slightly dark and moist, while the ground seemed to be covered in a layer of mud. Krune immediately uttered minute sounds, using his Sonic Radar to scout his surroundings.

Immediately, he began to sweat as he looked at the Seamstress, telling her, ”We've ended up in a rather tricky place.”

Upon making sure that Solare was comfortably sleeping, the Seamstress gazed back, looking at the walls of the cave. She then accompanied Krune as they reached the exit, peeking out cautiously before they exclaimed in alarm, ”Oh shit!”

They had arrived in a rock pillar that had a diameter just slightly bigger than the size of their cave. Their cave was almost positioned near the top of the pillar. Though, it was the bottom that caused Krune to sweat buckets.

Using his Sonic Radar, Krune determined that they were at least a kilometer from the ground. And that alone spoke facts about their plight. If it was just him and the Seamstress, they would manage to head down one way or another.

But unfortunately, they also had Solare to take care of, not to mention their boat, which had all their needs and necessities. With that, bringing it down was hard, if not outright impossible. Moreover, they were unsure about the dangers involved in the place.

After all, there was even a layer of cloud that blocked their vision from seeing the surface.

Krune looked upward, noticing that the water layer was almost a hundred meters above them. It was the ocean above. The Secondary Landmass was no different from the Primary Landmass in shape, shaped like a bowl that was submerged in one ocean while its ends touched the ocean above. This way, it wasn't possible for the ocean water to leak inside.

And from their spot, there was no way to reach it. Krune then used his Sonic Radar, frowning as he cursed, ”This is bad, really, really bad.”

”What is it?” The Seamstress also frowned while looking at him, holding her coral sword as she remained vigilant.

”There seem to be two races living here. And one of them...can fly,” Krune said.

”What?” The Seamstress was left at a loss for words. If she was still the Seamstress she previously was, she wouldn't have been shocked. After all, she could simply tame a demon beast that was capable of flight. She had quite a few of those.

But now, as a mortal, the sky was off-limits. Hearing one of their foes was capable of flight almost frightened her. After all, they were currently stuck on a pillar. And, if they decided to descend to the ground, they would need to climb down the rock pillar for a kilometer.

During this time, they were fair game for the flying creatures. So, it would place them in a passive situation.

Unless they were careful, they could very well say that their lives were currently at risk. Krune maintained his Sonic Radar, scouting through a couple of kilometers in his surroundings. Only by activating his Ocean Heart was Krune able to shout loud enough without ripping off his throat.

It seemed that the flying creatures didn't cross the layer of clouds, ensuring that they were currently safe. He then thought of something, saying to the Seamstress, ”We'll have to begin creating enough rope. Once we figure out a method to gain a water supply, our situation would turn for the better.”

”But first, we have to scout our surroundings.” Krune inspected the side of the rock pillar, touching with his hands as he felt around, gazing up. ”But first, I have to see from the top.”

”Be careful!” the Seamstress said as Krune exited the cave and grabbed hold of a rock protrusion, feeling it around with caution before he began to scale it up. Thanks to his Monster Gecko skin armor, he had better grip on the rocky surface, being able to move without much trouble.

There were less than ten meters to the top as Krune reached it within a minute. Standing at the top of the rock pillar, he looked around, for a moment beginning to laugh. His laughter was one of mockery but also of a sense of relief. That was because the walls of the Secondary Landmass were only positioned forty meters away.

The walls were steep, unlike the Primary Landmass with the Monster Geckos. Though, Krune noticed a couple of caves in his vicinity. After looking at them, he realized, recalling his experience of arriving at the Primary Landmass.

He muttered, ”So normally, I would have been teleported into one of those caves. But since I arrived with my boat, the caves weren't big enough. Thus, we were teleported into a big enough cave that was nearest to the wall. That makes sense.”

Even though 40 meters was still a vast distance that couldn't be traversed easily, Krune was confident of obtaining a solution. The reason he hadn't noticed it before while using Sonic Radar was because he had activated it while standing within the cave.
