Randy surprised as he looked at the crystal-shaped green stone in his hand, no it was green ingot. An uncommon material after that Randy gave the green ingot to his wife.

9 meters wide and 5 meters high, Randy estimated the size of the cave. What surprised him was the green ingot. It emitted green light, brighten the cave with a green light which made the scene wonderful despite there was only green ingot here.

But when he cut the green ingot, the cut of green ingot didn't emit the green light anymore. It was like the energy source was cut which made the light dimmed before it stopped emitting light.

Zhen Yi kept looking at her surround as she enchanted by the scene. But suddenly her face became serious and let out a question, ”So, where the Duskwings go?”

Both looked at each other before they looking at the deep cave. Zhen Yi tossed back the green ingot to Randy before they were going deeper inside the cave.

Randy and Zhen Yi slowly went into the deeper cave. The green ingot was the only light source here. So, with the light emitted from the green ingot, they slowly ventured deeper.

After 5 minutes, they found there was a big hole in the right of the cave. The hole had 3 meters wide. Randy checked the hole yet found nothing except green ingot. He could not see the end of the hole as the hole was too deep.

Zhen Yi and Randy didn't think much about the hole before they continued venturing deeper. But soon they found more holes as they went deeper.

At first, only one hole every 10 meters, soon as they kept going deeper they found more holes. Which at first only one hole every 10 meters, became 3-4 holes each 10 meters.

This time Randy and Zhen Yi stopped. They were becoming suspicious about the holes yet helpless too as they could not investigate the hole. Even though the hole had 3 meters wide, but it only had less than a meter high. So, they could not enter the hole to check what inside the hole was.

It was too dangerous as the hole was squat or prone to venture the hole. If there was an unexpected monster appeared then it would dangerous even for him as the hole was too narrow.

”Yi, should we go back?” Randy asked his wife. What he worried about was his wife.

Hearing Randy's words, Zhen Yi turned her head and stared Randy's eyes over 10 seconds.

”Nope, let's continue,” Said Zhen Yi as she ventured deeper, left the helpless Randy behind.

After both continued for 20 minutes yet still found nothing except holes, holes and more holes.

Randy was afraid from this hole, a monster would emerge as they passed the same over hundred holes.

They kept walking before finally reached the end of the cave. No, it was not the end. In the front of them was the same as the entrance of the cave. They could not see further as there was a layer blocked Randy's sight to see further.

Randy and Zhen Yi stopped again.

”Shana, this cave is safe, right?” Asked Randy as he just remembered that he had an AI.

”Heng, finally you remember me?” Shana snorted in unhappy.

Randy was helpless, he was so worried about Zhen Yi and focused only on his wife. So, he forgot he had an AI that could help him.

”But don't worry uncle, the cave is safe,” Shana reassured Randy.

”You know what place is this?” After Shana said the cave was safe, Randy delighted as he thought Shana knew about the cave.

”Nope, I don't know,” Shana shook her head, ”But I can make a guess based on the surrounding. This is a mine but also a den. This is a mine which is now becoming a den, the Duskwings' den,”

'A mine?' Randy looked at the green ingot which could be found everywhere inside the cave.

'Indeed, this cave is like a mine. But what about being a monster's den? I didn't find a monster here?'

Shana looked at Randy's expression and she knew what Randy's thought was.

”Holes, the hole is where the Duskwings live,” Shana pointed to the hole as Randy in a deep thought.
