Shang walked behind the other three, who scouted the surroundings. The Caves had a very confusing layout, but Sarah had several sheets of paper in her hands, which acted as interconnected maps.

An accurate map was very expensive, but it gave the teams the ability to hunt in the Caves, which was worth the investment.

After some minutes of walking through some confusing tunnels, Shang noticed something. The thick Darkness Mana in the Caves avoided one spot at the ceiling of one of the tunnels, which most likely meant that a different source of Mana that Shang couldn't feel was pushing the Darkness Mana away with its own Mana.

In short, it was a beast.

Shang looked up and saw the beast.

'Crack Spider,' Shang thought when he saw it.

A Crack Spider was a big, armored spider with an Earth Affinity, and it was famous for dropping down on its prey and killing it with its weight.

However, Shang didn't say anything. Crack Spiders were mostly at the Initial General Stage, and since they were ambush predators, they weren't the strongest beasts in a head-on clash. One could say that this beast was a perfect opponent for the team of hunters.

"The Wind Mana isn't flowing as fluently as before anymore," Elver suddenly said with furrowed brows.

At the General Stage, basically every warrior could feel their surroundings as long as a certain amount of Mana of their Affinity was present.

Elver had a Wind Affinity, and a lot of the Wind Mana from the surface also entered the Caves. After all, there was no other Zone Beast present to counteract the Wind Mana with its own Mana.

"Astor," Sarah said.

Astor nodded and summoned a bucket-load of water in front of him, which wasn't very difficult considering that Astor had a Water Affinity.

After that, Astor took out a small stick and poked the water.

SSHHH!

After the stick poked the water, it turned into steam and scattered over the entire cave they were currently in.

Astor closed his eyes to focus.

"The ceiling," he said as he looked up.

Shang nodded when he saw the teamwork. 'Elver is responsible for general scouting, and Astor is responsible for specific scouting.'
