Supremacy Games

In a short while, Felix finally reached the exit of the tunnel...Instead of jumping inside the pocket, he examined the dark substance first with a stern expression.

In his eyes, this dark substance might be alive and would devour him if stepped on it or something in that premise.

'What do you think, master?' Felix asked the professional after realizing that he got nothing out of his analysis.

'From initial observation, It's a moss-based organism.' Lady Sphinx replied, 'I don't pick up any spiritual presence from it, so it's not conscious.'

'The fact that it appears moist and alive even when not a single ray of sun reaches it, it implies that it feeds on either the rocks or the air.'

'Though the air here is almost nonexistent...So, it must be the rocks.'

'A plant feeding on rocks?' Felix raised an eyebrow, 'You learn new stuff everyday I guess.'

Felix was familiar with many freaky plants that didn't rely completely on the sunlight to create food for themselves, but they did feed on other stuff that were nutritious in nature.

But rocks and stones?

That's a whole new level of craziness.

'It's just an initial observation. I need to study them in the lab to truly understand them.' Lady Sphinx informed, 'For now, try your best to minimize your exposure while collecting them.'

'Alright.'

Without further ado, Felix pushed himself a bit further inside the pocket, but he didn't enter it completely...Then, he extended his finger to the nearest moss-like substance and touched it gently.

Although he was wearing void suit, he still felt like he had just touched a wet sticky used bubblegum.

'No reaction...It's pretty dead alright.' Felix pulled away his finger and pushed himself inside the pocket.

Because the ground was also covered with the dark moss, Felix's feet came in contact with them. Still, nothing much happen to him.

This had finally put his mind at ease and made him beam out a container and a small shovel. Next, he started to scrap the dark moss slowly and carefully, not wanting to damage its integrity.

In his eyes, it might be the most amazing natural treasure or just pure trash, depending on how he extract it.

"What's this?"

"Have you ever seen this substance before?"

"No."
