Watching Jack walking away, Nemo, the most honest person in the group said, "This jack guy gives me a weird feeling. Something is wrong with this guy."

The rest of the group heard what Nemo said but didn't care much about it, what trouble a measly miner can cause. They dismissed his worries as mere paranoia.

The place they were in was a huge cave, large enough to fit a small city inside of it, dozens of trolleys filled with small shining ore were coming toward the elevator in an orderly fashion.

The mining area was spread over a 10-kilometre area from the elevator. Dawn and others will have to patrol the border of this mining area,

So that the monster doesn't disturb the miners and slow down the extraction process.

Dawn and others arrived at the border of the mining area, where they will stay and patrol.

Currently, Dawn was in front of a building situated between a narrow valley, Dawn guessed that this building was going to be their new home.

The building was placed strategically at such a location that the monster coming from the other side would have to pass through this building to access the mining area.

The five of them decided to patrol one by one, Dawn was the first to patrol as he wanted it himself. While the others chose one room and went inside to rest.

Dawn started walking toward the darkness behind the building, a dreadful howl resounded now and then from the darkness.

Dawn walked silently with leisurely steps, Ever since coming to this world he had become more carefree and fearless, if he had been in his old world, the surroundings' darkness would have made his heart rate increase.

After walking for half an hour, Dawn was almost 10 km away from the assigned quarters, his surroundings gradually brightened, illuminated by bright crystals embedded in the ceiling of the cave.

Because of the light Dawn was able to scan his surroundings more clearly, without him realising he was surrounded by the corpses of monsters all around him. The bodies were still fresh, the battle must have happened not long ago.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Dawn moved toward the nearest crop and picked it up to examine the corpse carefully, a confused expression appeared on his face.

He frowned and looked at the dead body even more carefully," There is no sign of the injury, how did this thing die."

Dawn examined the rest of the bodies one by one As time passed the frown on his face deepened, and he wasn't able to make heads and tails of the situation the beast around him was all dead but he wasn't able to figure out how.

The whole situation seemed somewhat strange. He decided to be careful and summoned two barbarians to watch his back. Two 7-foot barbarians appeared out of thin air, holding a four-foot-long sword in their hand.

After looking at the barbarians Dawn sighed with relief, he started moving forward to look for more clues about the situation.

After walking 500m ahead, Dawn encountered two monster-like spiders with a frenzied look in their eyes, As the spiders sensed Dawn's movement they started moving toward him at great speed.

Dawn looked at the spider with a confused expression on his face. Are these spiders stupid, can't they see these two barbarians at the peak of body refining, Dawn wondered how these spiders were able to cultivate till body refining rank 3.

Just as the spiders were about to attack Dawn, barbarians took a step forward and both of them brandished their swords at the same time, Dawn stopped the barbarians from taking action, as he found the behaviour of these monstrous spiders suspicious.

The spider jumped towards Dawn using its legs to kill him, Dawn moved the mana toward his hand, and his hand glowed with black light. Dawn swung his palm at the incoming spider, blasting it into nothingness, he spared the other spider purposefully.

The second spider wasn't discouraged by the brutal demise of its companions it clung to Dawn's thigh and tried to bite a good chunk of meat from Dawn's legs, but it wasn't able to do anything, as Dawn's defence was already at 1.5 no attack of body refiners cultivator below rank 5 could harm him.

Dawn grabbed the spider with his hand and started applying pressure on the spider, As time passed he increased the pressure, but the spider didn't seem to care about its well-being.

Dawn was done with these spiders clearly they have lost it. He threw the spider with his full strength sending it flying across the wall.

Dawn decided to investigate the situation more seriously he summoned all of his barbarians amounting to 120 in number, and the barbarian appeared out of thin air looking at Dawn respectfully, Dawn ordered the barbarian to spread out and look for clues.

120 barbarians at the peak of the body refining realm overran the surrounding, destroying everything that stood in their path, the force was enough to make the monster shudder in fear at normal times.

Dawn received the feedback from all the barbarians from what he could tell they were all being mindlessly attacked by the monster.

Four hours passed and the barbarians hadn't been able to find any clues. With an annoyed look on his face, he dismissed all the barbarians.

Dawn decided to retreat and look for clues some other time.

Unknown to Dawn, an eyes-shaped monster barely a cm long was gazing at Dawn's summoned barbarians with a crazed look in its eyes, Looking at the barbarian for one last time the eye-shaped monster disappeared.

Nemo was sitting in front of the building on a chair made of stone, he was slipping a drink silently with a sad face, and suddenly Nemo heard the sound of footsteps coming toward him.

He saw a youth with black hair and black eyes walking out of the darkness, his black hair and black eyes perfectly matching the surrounding darkness. The youth looked in his direction and spoke while smiling," Having trouble falling asleep Nemo?"
