Leonel was shocked. The veryst group of people he could have ever expected to find here was the Brazinger n. Wasn''t this the personal ind of the yer Legion? Didn''t they monitor it? Were they really so ipetent to allow others to sneak in here so easily?
Leonel had already had a hard time taking the yer Legion seriously, but it felt as though their every action really only made him look down on them more.
After a while, he calmed himself. He realized that he had only reacted like this because of how hard the past few days had been. It seemed that even he needed someone to vent his frustration on.
''Stay calm…'' Leonel closed his eyes, steadying his breathing and his heart rate.
He had already promised himself to remain calm in all things. It was still hard since he was just an 18 year old boy, but not everyone was made perfect in a day. In time, he''d temper his disposition.
After Leonel steadied himself, he began thinking of what could possibly be happening here.
He doubted that the Brazinger n hade in after them, there was a high probability they hade here first. In that case, could it be the Force Eruption was predicted by them? Or was it that they wanted to take advantage of the ore treasury that was this hive?
''There''s another possibility as well…'' Leonel furrowed his brows. ''… ording to Old Hutch, things aren''t so simple as they seem on the surface. Could it be that these Project Hunt Inds were never the sole property of the yer Legion to begin with?''
When Leonel had this thought, he felt that his whole world had been turned upside down.
Hutch seemed to talk like the decision to let themoners of the Paradise Inds die was a mutual decision. Was the rtionship between the rebels and The Empire really so simple?
The more Leonel thought about it, the more confused he became.
''Forget it, thinking about it myself won''t get me anywhere. I''ll observe them first.''
…
The space on the other side of the cracks really did seem like an entirely different world. It felt as though one had to step inside a spatial crack to reach it, but the truth of the matter was that it was within the hive just like every ce else.
Though the space was dark much like the otherwork of tunnels, there was a dim halo of light around it. This light didn''te from the sun, but rather the countless nts littered all around!
That was right, this space within the hive looked no different than a garden. And, the halos of light being emitted from the nts were none other than the halos natural treasures had in the presence of a lower Dimensional world!
There didn''t seem to be anyrge source of water anywhere within the cave, making their existence baffling. The only hints of liquid were the drippings that fell from the stctites on the ceiling.
''Mellow Dew Stctites!''
Leonel trembled slightly.
Mellow Dew Stctites could form a single drop a day. Each one of these drops were the greatest nourishment for natural treasures, whether those natural treasures were nts like the ones in this cave space, or the current ores in Leonel''s possession.

The dew drops also had exceptionally high concentrations of Force. They could essentially liquefy Force, creating what could be ssified as a Force Strengthening Deviation despite the fact it had no other characteristics aside from its high concentrations.
Just to put these matters into perspective, just a single drop from these Stctites was enough to form any one of Leonel''s Stars. This was how exaggerated the matter was.
Yet, the ceiling of this ce was formed by at least 50 Mellow Dew Stctites. It was no wonder this ce didn''t need any water to grow so many wonderful nts. A single drop of that dew would be enough to raise even an acre of Fourth Dimensional nts without issue.
Unfortunately, Leonel didn''t know what these nts were. He could tell they were valuable, but he wasn''t a Force Pill Refiner, so how could he know anything about them? Luckily, he could rely on the dictionary if need be. He was certain these higher Dimensional nts were in its database.
"Wow, I didn''t think we''d find something like this. How do you think these nts managed to grow here?"
There were two men, both of simr stature. They seemed to realize they had stumbled upon something valuable, but they didn''t know how valuable it was. Their knowledge was limited. All they knew was that due to all these halos of light, these were definitely at least Fourth Dimensional herbs.
"Let''s mark this ce down and let the Young Lord know about it. Right now, the priority is still to find a path toward the Force Crystal Mine. We''re running out of time."
Leonel''s gaze shed. ''Young Lord? Could he be talking about that monocle guy?''
A hardly concealed rage shed through Leonel''s gaze. He had always been one who found it difficult to kill. It was only after countless battles that his heart began to slowly ept the kind of world he lived in now. However, if there was someone he wouldn''t hesitate to kill, two someones, actually… it was the Junior Governor Duke and that monocle wearing young lord of the Brazinger n.
''It seems they split up to cover more ground. Their aim is also the Force Crystal Mine… I can''t guarantee that monocle wearing bastard won''t be interested enough in this ce to set everything aside toe here first. These two might not know the value of Mellow Dew Stalictite, but that doesn''t mean he won''t…''
A resolute glint took hold of Leonel''s gaze. Though he was injured, he was still confident in taking on these two. Plus, if he could capture them, he might be able to dig out more information about what the Brazinger n was doing here and if they had any connection to the yer Legion…
''No, they shouldn''t have a connection, or else we wouldn''t have been sent here at this time.''
Even as Leonel was thinking this, he had already sprung into action. Taking advantage of the darkness, he stealthily had Little Tolly devour the thin, cracked wall and rolled into the world of grass and nts.
Without hesitation, he quickly followed after the two men who had just left the wide space of greenery.
