Lucius focused on mining, having already extracted four crystals, with only the last one remaining. Suddenly, he came to an abrupt halt, a feeling of being watched from the shadows overtaking him.
He swiftly scanned his surroundings, a sense of danger growing within him. He hastily stowed away the hammer and old sword, replacing them with a higher-quality blade.
Approaching Lily, who also appeared tense, they positioned themselves back to back, each vigilant in a different direction. Lily whispered, her eyes watchful, "What's happening, Lucius? Is something coming?"
"A formidable opponent is approaching. I can sense it. Keep your guard up," Lucius replied with a serious tone, his expression reflecting his grave concern.
Jeron also noticed something a bit after Lucius and made Varis and Kaida huddle together with him at the forefront. As the first shadow appeared, a level 8 spider lunged at them. Jeron swung his sword, striking the spider's leg.
