Chapter 38: Flowers
"I'm sure there are some valuable things here; the problem will be finding them."
"Boss, what are we really looking for?"
"Anything, actually. Not something specific—just anything strange. That's what we're looking for."
"Could that be something strange?"
"What? Uhmm, that really is something we're looking for."
Not even an hour has passed, but we've already found some new things.
What Aurelio found was some flowers with blue colors. They were really beautiful, similar to blue lilies. Their exotic appearance was something worth noting.
"That's great, we've already found something new, and it's quite beautiful. Congratulations, Aurelio."
"Did you see that? The boss called me Aurelio. Now you guys can't call me a newbie."
"Okay, okay, okay. From now on, we'll call you by your name. Satisfied?"
"Very!"
"Okay, let's continue."
After the discovery of the blue flowers, we continued on our way.
After climbing the mountain for some more time, we discovered some more new things.
Like flowers with various colors—not many, just a handful, about 6 to 10. But besides them, we found some interesting rocks. At the moment, I'm just cataloging them, but I'll come back later and conduct experiments to find out if they have any usefulness for me.
Apart from plants and rocks, I haven't found anything truly impressive.
We stopped a few times just to rest. After walking for a few hours, I finally found a cave.
The cave I found seemed like a normal cave. Because of the sun, I had no problem seeing inside, and besides the entrance, there was nothing impressive.
The entrance was about 4 meters wide and 5 meters high, quite large, but inside, it was only about 20 to 30 square meters.
"Come on, it's going to get dark soon."
I hope the others had better luck.
Unlike the ascent, the descent was faster since we didn't have to search for anything. We could return more quickly.
It didn't take long to get back to the camp. When we arrived, we found out we weren't the first; Max's group had arrived first.
"Max, everything okay? Did you find anything interesting?"
"We found some different rocks and plants and two caves."
"Two caves? How were they?"
"The first one wasn't much, but the second one had a tunnel."
A tunnel? That could lead me to areas with many resources.
"Did you go in? See what was there?"
"No, I decided to come back to report."
"Okay, you did well. I plan to enter such places, but only when we're all together."
"Boss, Mr. Martins' group is coming."
"Martins, great. I hope he had as much luck as you."
"Ah, it looks like I'm the last one."
"Hey Martins, did you find anything?"
"I found..."
"Wait, were they different rocks or plants? Or a cave?"
"I did find those things, but what I'm saying is that I found some animals."
"You found animals? What were they like?"
"They looked like wildebeests, but much smaller, maybe they're calves, but they didn't seem like it since I saw some small ones, so I assume they're just naturally short."
"They looked like wildebeests, uhmm, how tall exactly?"
"About a little taller than my waist."
"So short?"
"Yes."
An animal that must be less than a meter tall, similar to wildebeests. I think I found another new animal or a miniature goat.
"Well, besides that animal, did you find any other new animals?"
"No."
"Okay, and how was the cave you found?"
"The entrance has enough space for only two people to pass, but inside, it led to a deeper area."
"I didn't advance; I chose to come back and tell you."
"It seems you and Max had more luck than me."
"Okay, tomorrow we'll go to Martins' side. I want to see these animals."
