Vol 1 Chapter 11 (1/2)
The Dungeon’s Sixth Floor, often called “The Sea of Trees”
This place was a natural world, full of fungi, insects, and small animals- as well as monsters- which formed an ecosystem
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Ah, it’s dangerous, these insects are dangerous”
“Uo, I can see my death in front of me Death at the hands of insects”
“Ua, I never want to coain”
“Mister, ?”
“Mou, running as soon as trouble occurs and a few people are having trouble…”
They screaein various directions
These three were probably useless in battle
Swiftly following thee amorphous mass, a Black Cloud
It was a horde of Killer Bees
One alone was the size of a hu comes with the custo effects, though just a single sting is not big deal
Hundreds of theether
The e overned by the pheroround
“Is it safe?”
The girl who saw her three friends getting chased by the swaraps of a s away
She had hid herself, and was not chased by the sware
Killer Bees usually never swarmed
They were generally solo hunters, only extracting pollen and occasionally snatching people to be larva food, and generally self-sufficient One alone could be considered death
But, the ever so often “Breeding Season” coes that story
They require a large amount of food to produce larvae, and the whole race beco down other“Killer Bees”
Of course, the bee’s “Harvest” is proportional to the nu they have Over ten years, the population has grown exponentially This year, the population in this forest alone that the colony included nearly a hundred bees Eventually, colonies could reach the tens of thousands
Already, ators had becoe ed to the Beehives
The situation that would occur if this “Breeding Season” continued to grow larger in range was not hard to iine
Therefore, the Seeker’s Guild had doubled back on its efforts, raising forces to quell the hordes of bees, which she had joined
One dead queen, fifty thousand Gerun This was an unprecedented award
Mint was one of these Seekers allured by the reward, going into this Dense Forest
“…”
Mint cliain somewhat and surveyed the situation
She was opposite to the direction the three friends had run away
The huge, eye-catching mushroom was also in this direction
It was coe tree, so saying it “towers ahead” is not inaccurate
Above, the board uh to hide the sun
So below, somewhat brown in color
This ht were three Killer Bees, in the entire surrounding area They were vigilantly flying around, as well as darker than the usual Bee, this was clearly a trio of fierce Sergeant Bees
Of course, inside the nest were a co of the residence of the Queen Bee, a spawning ground, and a storage location for honey The bees theht nectar or prey
There were no bees entering or leaving the hives The rest of the residents of the hive were all chasing the three friends from before, clearly
Getting in noould be quite easy
Mint could suddenly hear voices
It was the three friends fro while running, see about, but clearly they were still getting attention froht Mint would now play a role fighting the large black clouds behind them
Mint ju they did not have to run again They landed on the soft ground, the halo of the mushroom
