Shang traveled through the tunnel at a slow pace. In comparison to the upper Caves, this place was far quieter since there were far fewer beasts running around.
Just like with warriors and Mages, the further one traversed on the path to power, the fewer beings on the same level one would find.
There were probably over ten times as many General Stage beasts than Commander Stage beasts. So, while the upper Caves had the occasional beast running around, the deeper Caves felt empty.
But this couldn't be avoided. In order to advance on the path to power, one was required to consume more and more resources. Every Commander Stage beast had probably killed hundreds of other beasts in their lives.
Shang didn't find any other beast for several minutes, even with the help of his Darkness Vision.
But after 30 minutes, Shang finally felt something of interest.
However, it wasn't a beast.
Shang looked towards the north with interest.
