”Leo, what do you think is this Magical resources?” David suddenly asked.

”I think it's a Magical resources with Water Element.” Leo reasonably replied. Since Magical Beast Sharks were attracted by these unknown Magical resources, then it is definitely something with the same property as them, which is obviously the Water Element.

Although there are cases where a Magical Beast has two or more different Element. Like, for example, a Two Star Magical Beast Blue Fin Shark which has both the Water and Wind Element. However, since the case right now has attracted all sorts of different Magical Beast Sharks, then assuming that the Element of this unknown Magical resources is of Water Element should be reasonable.

”Do you think it's an ore, mineral, plant, or something else?” Matthew suddenly butted in.

”I don't know...” Leo answered. To be honest, he really doesn't know what kind of Magical resources it would turn out to be. There is a chance it could just be an ore, which could be used for crafting weapons. A mineral which would usually be used in making foods and beverages, concocting potions and medicines, and for cultivation purposes. A plant is also possible, such as some kind of decade or century-old Ginger, which could improve the Mage's Magic Power, or maybe just a simple plant root. It could also just be some kind of liquid or a gas. There are just too many choices, so it's impossible to assume anything.

”It's indeed hard to guess what kind of Magical resources it would be since there are just too many possibilities!” Aiden explained, which Leo also nodded since it's the same as his thoughts.

”I hope it's an ore so that I can craft a weapon from it!” David hopefully said.

”Nah, it should be a mineral!” Matthew quickly disagreed.

”Why do you always like to look for a fight with me, ha? Do you want to fight me against you, one on one?!” David finally had enough of Matthew's unreasonable character.

”I'm just sharing my opinion!” Matthew hurriedly defended.

”And that means you can't disagree with me!!” David argued back.

”Please fight!” Aiden quickly cheered in the middle.

”...” Leo just ignored them as they were obviously ignoring his existence right now.

The walking continued for a few hours, turning from one tunnel to another, and eventually meeting a few No-star Magical Beast in their path, which they obviously killed first before continuing to venture deeper.

After turning in another tunnel and walking a hundred meters or so, they finally arrived in a place where the rising seawater was hindering their path to continue.

Due to the fact that the tunnels were also like a sewer system that leads to the ocean, it was expected already that they will face this situation, eventually.

”F*ck!” Murgan can't help but swear out loudly. This rising seawater was obviously annoying for him, since it also meant the end of the road for them.

Although this doesn't literally mean a dead end yet, it could likewise be thought that way since they can't continue walking any deeper anymore.

If they want to continue, then they needed to swim. Obviously, doing so would be akin to suicide, since Magical Beast Sharks are the best fighting in the water.

”How about let's just turn around and look for another path?” Ehtelyn suggested, seemingly stating the obvious. Since there was practically no way for them to continue walking in this tunnel anymore, then they might as well just choose another tunnel, right?

”Okay, then lead the way, Axel!” Murgan nodded his head as he turned to look at Axel.

”Um, I actually didn't keep track of the path we were walking...” Axel scratched his head in reply as he turned to look at Aiden.

”The same as you, I also thought someone was keeping track!”

”WHATT?!!” The others immediately exclaimed loudly.

”I really thought there was someone keeping track of it!” Axel quickly defended himself.

”Then...”

”Stop with that dramatical response of yours, Melthy! We are lost, that's that, and no other drama! Now we are really screwed!” Tiffany suddenly interrupted with a somewhat angry tone.

”Why are you suddenly angry at me, Tiffany?!” Melthy also became annoyed with Tiffany's sudden change of mood.

*Pong!

Suddenly, Ehtelyn hits Tiffany's head really hard.

”What was that for?!”

”To calm your obvious panic state!”

”Eh... I'm sorry...”

”Don't apologize to me, apologize to Melthy!”

”I'm so sorry Melthy... It's just that, after knowing that we are lost in the deep part of this maze, I can't help but thought that we are going to die...”
