He was so shocked and frightened on what he saw after the explosion he heard earlier.
"Wh- What kind of monster is that?!" He said to himself, he can't afford to be seen by that monster.
Sniff~ Sniff~
The unknown hybrid animal sniffing around finding its potential prey.
"Groaah!"
His roar echoed inside the mine, it's so loud that can cause the cave mine to rumble.
"Uagh! What's that!?" He immediately covered his ears to avoid being deaf by its loud roar.
He slowly peeking through the whole of the rock he's hiding on.
Meanwhile~
"Hup!"
Chloe's reaching to the end of the cave's mine without having any problem.
"Hmm. This route is kinda suspicious, it's so dark i can barely see anything." She said while peeking on to the entrance of the other path of the cave.
While she's walking she saw a radiant light from distance. She cautiously approach it and hides behind the rock.
"What's that blinding light?" Chloe immediately rushed towards the light.
She was shocked from what she saw. It's a hybrid animal, feral, dangerous, and anytime from now it will attack.
Without thinking she immediately hides between the gaps.
She sat and lean on the wall of the cave. "Pheww... That was close..." She sighed. She felt a tremendous murder intent from the hybrid animal.
At this moment, Chloe felt a true fear to a hybrid animal that she can't feel when they fought the Mud Digger.
"Wh... What in the world is that?!" She's sweating cold and breathing heavily due to the fear she felt.
"Groahh!"
The hybrid animal starts to rampage and it seems like it's hungry.
She was warried about the current situation she's in. "What's with it's appearance? It looks devilish! A scorpion with an spider legs and fangs?! I'll be dead meat if I get caught." She immediately recognized the gigantic hybrid animal.
In a brief moment, without her realizing, the hybrid animal is already on the move. However, it's not moving towards her position but rather to the other side of the cave.
It's moving towards the position of the guy from before who bumped Peter.

"Sh- Sh*t! It's coming towards me! I... I need to hurry!"
He noticed immediately that he's the one who's after by the feral hybrid animal.
Without a second thought he swiftly run away from it.
"F- F*ck this exam! I'm outta here!"
The hybrid animal chased him at full speed, yet it can't extend it's limbs because of its size.
"Huuu... Lucky! Yah dumbass spider or whatever! You can't chase me! HAHAHA!"
Screeech~
When he thought that he got away from the hybrid animal, he didn't expect it to use its hybrid ability to be able to catch him.
It used its scorpion tail to shoot out a poisoned web.
Fwushh~
"What is that sou- Uagh! Wh- What is this?! A web?! It burns... aghhhh! It hurts f- f*ck!" He screamed while being unable to move and burning his skin at the same time due to the poisoned web that the hybrid animal shot.
With his cockiness unexpected turned out of event occurs.
He didn't expect to use its hybrid technique.
"Screech!"
Without a second thought the hybrid animal injected him it's venom that dissolves his skin and muscles in an instant and starts to devour him.
After a few minutes his body left nothing but a trace of blood on the floor.
"Gasp!"
Chloe saw the whole thing but couldn't do anything.
She covered her mouth to avoid her voice to get out. "Wh- What is that? It's terrible... I need to get out of here as fast as I can!" She immediately run to where the hybrid animal came from.
With a full stomach, the hybrid animal lay down and quickly fell asleep. Thanks to Chloe's quick thinking and bravery, she was able to run away from the creature's den unharmed.
As she emerged from the cave mine, she let out a sigh of relief and felt a sense of safety wash over her.
"Phew... that was a close call. I thought I was a goner."
Without hesitation, she continued to run towards her destination, feeling confident and empowered by her successful escape.
After walking for a while, Chloe reached her destination. She saw Arvin waving his hand.
"Hey! Chloe! Are you alright?" He asked as he waved his hand.
"Hmph. As you can see, I'm fine as a hundred years old wine." She confidently brags.
They exchanged positions and Arvin took his way to reach Peter's position as fast as he could.
He's now on a field of the mine, with numerous crystals used by the locals of the Citadel for energy sources.
He looked around with his eyes wide open in surprise. "Woah! I've never seen so many crystals like this in my life." He said in surprise as he continued to walk.
Many small hybrid animals lurk in the mine, but it's not as hostile as it seems.
He saw many different hybrids of animals such as crabs with scorpions' exoskeletons and a falcon that has the color of a raven.
Numerous majestic hybrid animals are on the open field of the mine. When suddenly a group of suspicious men arrived out of nowhere.
Arvin seems to know what is about to happen. "Wh- Who are you, guys?!" He asked in curiosity.
He immediately put his guard up to avoid a surprise attack. However, even with his guard up when a sudden gust of wind struck him he was blown away and couldn't do a thing.
Swoosh~
"Uwagh! W- What is this?!" He screams while being blown away. He was blown meters away from his original position.
"Keugh!" He groans.
Five suspicious men show up and he's aware that they're up to no good.
The instructor who monitors the exam saw them in a surveillance cam.
"I- Instructor Jerwin! Come, look at this!" He pointed out to the monitor and explained the current situation to his superior.
"..." Instructor Jerwin was in deep thought.
"Get ready, we will go the mines and save that kid." Instructor Jerwin commands his fellow instructors.
When they are about to leave a sudden explosion shocked them.
Kaboom!~
"Wh- What is that?! Take cover, everyone! Go to the boy. Let me handle this!" He commands them to go after the student and help him.
"Kekeke! Oh! It's Mr. Frog!" The man who caused the explosion said.
Instructor Jerwin was shocked. He didn't expect to meet him in a place like this.
"Wh- Why are you here?!" He screamed out of anger.
