Up in the air, hovering far above while looking down at the fairly large town, was Ham. It was slowly following the group of students, along with the travellers seeing just where they were heading.
It was high enough in the sky, so the light source on their beast gear was unable to reach Ham. Then again, with his eyesight, he was able to see them quite well in the dark anyway.
"I hope Master is okay," Ham said as he sniffled and allowed the large snot from his nose to lift up. He had been crying nearly the whole time, thinking about the possibility of Fex leaving him.
He sniffed one time, hoping to bring the snot up back up from his nose. However, while doing so, he did it just a little too late, allowing a droplet to fall from above.

A small drop of liquid was felt on one of the bald twins head.
"Is it raining in here?" he said as he wiped the wet mark from his head.
"You idiot. We’re underground. Of course, it isn’t raining. There’s probably a river above or condensation or something," the other twin said.
As the group was walking, Logan and Peter made sure to stay at the back. However, Lily continued to stay behind the entire group as a type of guard, just in case anything would appear.
Now, Peter’s pace was starting to slow a little as he was being more affected by his hunger.
"Peter, how long can you hold out? Until we get outside, I might be able to to do something by then," Logan whispered.
Peter, immediately looked up at Logan from his bent down position. He didn’t say anything. Instead, his eyes were starting to show a slight tint of red in them.
"Okay. Looks like you won’t last that long." Looking around, Logan was trying to rack his brain at every option possible.
Finally, the group had reached one of the tunnels that led out of the city from the streets. While looking at all the tunnels around them, Logan thought the place resembled an ant’s nest with the many branching tunnels in the end all leading to one destination.
While walking through the tunnels, Logan had come up with an idea that perhaps would enable Peter to feed away from everyone. But before executing the idea, he needed to get some information.
"So with all these tunnels, how do you guys know the way out?" Logan asked.
"These tunnels are like a maze and they either seem to loop to each other, or all end up going back to the original town we just left from," Andy replied. "In the end, we never found an exit, so we decided to create our own. One of the tunnels we marked ourselves. When we noticed the blue crystal lights, we placed red lights by the tunnel we created ourselves that led up to the surface."
With the answer on how to leave the place, Logan could now execute his plan. The other students, including Logan, had actually come down the tunnels via the strange plant-like beast.
Logan had scanned the place before coming down, so he knew there was a space between the surface and the ground they were currently on and was prepared for it. But even Peter had broken his legs when dropping from such a height, and he had a stronger structure than a regular human.
It was a sad thought, but some of the other students were consumed by the strange plant-like beast. A few of them were most likely unable to make it and had fallen to their death. Unless they had an ability that could save them, this would be the case. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
All Logan needed to do was to make them split up with the others and search through the tunnels for one of these dead students that Peter could feed on. It wouldn’t be too strange if the teachers found a student’s corpse half-eaten. Beasts would do these type of things all the time.
Finally, the group had exited from the tunnel and entered another larger section with several more tunnels.
