Stepping into the cave, Landon's nose was immediately bombarded with a strong foul and musty stench..... One he didn't recognize at all.

For sure, the smell was quite strong and unique.

The Cave's floor was as hard as a rock in some regions... and in other parts, it had puddles of God knows what, in it as well.

Landon slowly advanced with his night-vision goggles on, until he finally arrived at the innermost parts of the cave.

All this time, all he had picked up with his night-vision goggles... were bats that were handing on the cave's ceilings.

But now, he had finally picked up the 4 Mucins just up ahead.

They were all slowly advancing towards him stealthily as well.

Landon didn't waste any time, and immediately shot each of them twice in the head as swiftly as he could.

'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!'

'Chaaahhhhhhhh!'

They squirmed in pain and finally fell onto the floor hard.

'Bam!'

In these creatures' minds, they probably couldn't understand how a human knew their exact position in the dark.

'System, how many more are left?'

'119 left host!'

'Alright..... also, system, what can you offer me in this situation?'

'Answering to the host, the system can give you night illuminating eyes.

Right now, the host can only see living beings with those night vision goggles.

But what about the caves' topography?

If this system wasn't guiding the host previously, the host would've already fallen into several deep holes within this cave.

These animals have already mastered the topography of the cave.

So they have the upper hand when going up against the host in night vision goggles.

But if the host bought the system's night illuminating eyes', then the host will be able to see the entire cave.... as if the host were looking at a room or even the outside streets in broad daylight."

Listening to the system, Landon couldn't help but nod his head in agreement.

It was true, for all he knew, this place could be set up as the 'Cave of Wonders in Disney's Aladdin.... so it wasn't best for him to fight these creatures with only the night vision goggles as his aids.

Eh?

Since when did the system become so kind as to offer him something without any payment?

Did the system finally have a change of heart?

Had it finally repented from it's Point grubbling ways?

'Of course, the host should know that just using these night illuminating eyes alone for just 1 hour, will cost a pretty hefty amount.'

'_'

Yup!

That's the system that he knew!

Kind?

Tsk!

He would rather believe that people could breathe through their ears, than believe that the system was kind.

Landon smiled bitterly and sighed.

Luckily, he had just been rewarded for his main mission not too long ago, so he had enough points in his stash right now.

'I don't care how much it costs..... so use my points and purchase them for 2-hour use only.'

'As you wish host!'

Immediately, Landon took off his night-vision goggles and paced it back in his storage space within the system.

Even though he had gotten it for 2 hours, in his mind... he would be done in no more than 40 minutes, as he wanted to wrap up things before helo came along.

But just in case he couldn't, then the extra time was necessary as well.

With the night illuminating eyes, he could now see everything clearly.

It was as if the sun's rays had directly hit every part of the cave, leaving no space dark at all.

Landon advanced stealthily, until he finally spotted 12 more up ahead.

They looked at him, and instantly moved towards him without even making any 'hiss' sounds..... as the creatures immediately thought of lunging a surprise attack on Landon.

But how could it be that simple?

'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

'Chahhhhh!!!!'

'Hisssssss!!!!'

Landon had shot 3 dead.

As for the other 9 Mucins, seeing that their friends who had dropped to the floor weren't getting up again.... they all decided to rush towards Landon crazily.

And so, the battle began.

Landon jumped, ducked, shot.... and even rode one of the Mucins on it's back like a horse.

And by the end of it all..... all 9 had also died, just like their friends before them.

Landon continued to advance while killing all Mucins that dared to appear before him.

Until finally.....he had reached the innermost chamber of the Mucin Nest.

'System, how many more are left?', he asked.... while recharging his guns for the upcoming battle.

'Answering to host... 23 more."

Landon nodded, took a deep breath and finally ran into the room like crazy.

It was time to end this.

Within the nest region.... the Mucins were all divided up into different groups.

On the right side, Landon could see a huge pile of bones.... as well as no more than 15 eggs there, that weren't hatched yet.

And in addition to that, there were also 3 baby Mucins that were as tiny as a cat feasting away too.

Of course, instantly... Landon had decided not to kill them.

But rather, to place them in the Zoo instead.

This way, they could live without him feeling like they eat children or even adult visitors in the future.

But one shouldn't be fooled by the cuteness of these baby Mucins.

Because even though they were still babies, right now... Landon had walked in on them digesting 3 whole adult human legs.

What the heck?

Nah... no matter how one looked at it, they were still ferocious beasts... so he would rather keep them in the zoo, than let them live around Baymard's borders.

If this continued on.... even Baynard citizens who wanted to go for vacation in Arcadina, might also be swallowed by these beasts when they grow up.

As for the eggs, Landon had decided to save 2 and destroy the rest... as he couldn't take that many into Baymard even if he wanted to.

Anyway.... on the right side of the room, he saw a huge pile of bones, several Mucin eggs and 3 Mucin babies.

But on the left side of the room, Landon saw many of the Mucins guarding some sort of room..... which he guessed, was were the Mucins all kept their prey.

Landon burst into the room, and immediately... some Mucins went to protect their children, while others marched up straight towards him.

Of course, some sneaked around the others and went towards the exit of the cave.... before closing in on Landon from his back.

And just like that, Landon had found himself surrounded by them in an instant.

But how could this faze him?

'Hissssssssssss!'

'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!'

'Chaaahhhhhhhhhh!'

Landon immediately shot the closest 2 that were coming his way, before jumping up and somersaulting into the air..... immediately missing the pink fluid that had been spat onto the ground.

He rolled for a bit, before getting up and ducking again..... as one of the mucins had waved its long tail towards his direction.

'Bang! Bang! Bang!'

He fired more shots, and cartwheeled to the left with one hand.... as he saw one of the Mucins send it's long neck towards him, just like a snake would do..... since it wanted to bite into his head with its long fangs.

And while cartwheeling on one hand, Landon used the other to fire several shots as well.

'Bang! Bang! Bang!'

'_'

The battle continued on, until no more Mucins were left standing... and then suddenly, Landon heard someone call his name.

"Your majesty Landon..... Your majesty..... We're here to assist you!"
