Chapter 218: Lilia and Achan (1/2)

(Wreng wreng wreng…!)

(Woosh woosh woosh…!)

Rustle!

Rustle!

(Dugu Dugu Dugu…!)

The rustle and noisy flapping of their wings enveloped the whole place when hundreds of monsters arrived at the cave entrance.

Yman was pondering.

He could send his first version of enhanced fire doll ants to suck the enemy's magical power. But he doubted the idea because of the tough shells the enemies had.

They were watching as the monsters tried to push their way to the sealed entrance. After a few minutes of no results, one of the evolved walked to the front and lifted its pointed limb to pierce the web.

Yman narrowed his eyes, and from his left eye, a holographic monocle materialized. He used Sistela's appraisal ability towards the enemies.

Thanks to the improvement of Sistela's Appraisal ability, it could now appraise the target's data, though not the fundamental data, just the basics. It still could not read the exact strength of the target, but it could give him a fast evaluation, for example, its kind, name, and etcetera.

After activating the Appraisal ability, a list of information appeared in his vision, arranged by columns and inside the flat squares and rectangles with glowing blue-green color.

Based on their data, the flying worms have the name of [Flying Shelled-Worm], and the bigger ones have the name of [Young Mammoth].

The Young Mammoth summoned more strength and stabbed the black web that was sealing the cave entrance.

The black web stretched inwardly when the tip of the limb poked it.

”Bro, what are they doing? Is that an entrance over there?” Asked in puzzlement the raccoon man beside him. He had no idea what was behind the sealing black stretchable object as he didn't see it when the person beside him sealed the entrance using his spider summon.

He glanced at the raccoon man and saw his curious face. Yman shrugged his shoulders and said: ”They must be looking for some foo--.”

Brrrrrrt!

Before he could finish his words, the sound of a tearing cloth reached their ears.

”These ain't good; those monsters are more powerful than I thought,” he mumbled.

Yman narrowed his eyes. ”Hmm, I think it's better to return to the Little Garden and report this matter; maybe the Professor can do something about it.” For Yman, it wasn't his problem to solve alone. He just came to the mountain to gather magical herbs and plants. Then, these things happened suddenly.

He didn't wish to throw himself in that horde of monsters with his current situation. It would be a suicide if he did it.

He glanced at the raccoon man beside him. ”Hey, where did you last see your friends?”

”Ah?” The raccoon man was startled from his sudden call. ”In the western part of this mountain.”

Just after saying it, they noticed the monsters already entering the entrance.

He transmitted a command to his two scout birds and let them searched the western part of the mountain.

The two birds flung their wings and rapidly flew over the area.

The blue and cloudy sky transmitted to his vision. Even the birds of different species were shown to him. They were flying away from the mountain.

Yman blinked his eyes as he wondered why a large number of birds flying away.

However, when the bird's vision darted below, he was greeted by a different view. An ominous aura of dark blue color was enveloping the western part of the mountain. A miasma? His thought upon seeing it.

He also noticed that the ominous aura was continuing to proliferate.

He heard his deity saying in his mind.

Upon seeing the ominous aura, he knitted his brows. It was clear that the situation wasn't an ordinary one.

Something was happening in this mountain! His thoughts.

When the two birds arrived at the area, they started scanning the place by flying at a considerable height for their search. But the dark blue miasma was hindering the visibility that they transmitted into him.

Somewhere around the mountain, two girls were running towards the northern part.

Just by looking at how deep their breaths were, anyone could tell that they were exhausted already. On top of it, they were running away from a dangerous entity.

These two girls were from the race of Raccoon Men, one of the Demihuman tribes.

No doubt that they were the friends that the young raccoon man mentioned to Yman.

They were being chased by two fierce-looking monsters.

They had squinty bloodshot eyes that most hungry predators had, and an ominous dark blue aura was oozing from their bodies.

Their sharp fangs were peeking out from their large mouths, where sticky salivas were gushing out from them.

And their usually slick white furs had now turned as dark as the night.

Their long dexterous limbs with razor-sharp claws were kicking the ground with all their might, causing rattling noises.

Their claws were leaving scratch-marks on the ground as they advanced at a blurry speed that was hard to follow with the naked eyes.

The two girls were running as fast as they could. Sometimes they fired spells to hinder the enemies whenever they felt their breaths at their backs.
