It was at that moment when Eman also sensed a presence. As he was walking towards it, he noticed the ground was heading down. He slowed down his steps. It was also kinda slippery because the ground seemed a little wet and there were dark mosses on it.
Must be a long time ago since this mine has been shut down, he thought.
After a downslope, the ground returned to a straight flat again. He didn't forget to randomly use his <Object Appraisal> ability while moving forward. However, like the other debris he appraised on his way, there was still no sign of rare minerals.
It didn't take him long to find the culprit of the scraping noises. After some careful steps, he arrived at the location where the presence was. There, he saw a small beast scraping its claw on the wall.
"A cat?"
Perhaps hearing his mutter, it suddenly stopped its scraping and looked in his direction.
