I went into the tunnels, and it is getting narrower, and narrower. It seems like the tunnel is never going to end, until:

I saw another type of cave, which is very dark and I check the scale model using a cave mapping and modeling technology that I bought from the nearest town. It has a scanning sonar to generate pictures using sounds. I leave it for an hour.

After an hour of mapping the entire cavern, I transfer the data to my laptop and seeing the results. The results was it was so big, and vast. It contains the caves that I went in before, and our entire mineshaft also, and I know how big it was already. It covers 25 square miles wide and 1400 meters deep, which it was crazy since I know the miners themselves, which they have been mining for like 169 years. I have never imagine that this should be that big.

After being fascinated about the results, I decided to head deeper, and I found a cavern which it was detected by the mapping system, and it was very dark, and has some lava flowing, which I think that I am very deep below the ground. It has some vegetation that is very sound sensitive, and it reacted when I make a noise loud enough to shiver the plant. I was wandering around, if I saw any other things and I SAW A HUGE BEAST. I carefully walk towards it, and IT LOOKED TOWARDS ME!!! I didn't scream when he looked, but he doesn't notice me, which it indicates that this creature is blind, and it can detect sounds as a pointer. I breath heavily, and I screamed for a close call, which enraged the creature, who toss me off far away, after screaming.

He is mad, and I need to get out as fast as I can. I picked up my stuff, and head back. I paniked, making a lot of noise, making the creature go fast, so I decided to find a space that cant let the creature fit in, which is the narrow cave on where I entered.

I run fast, and I manage to get away with him, but my leg hurts, so I have to walk back.

When I reach the entrance of the cavern, many miners were standing, asking on what I saw. I summarized it  like this:

"I saw glowing vines with fruits on it, stalactites and stalagmites, a very narrow cave, and a mysterious and eerie cave filled with a sound sensitive plants and a blind creature that probably scares me".
