Before Roland answered a peculiar smell invaded his nostrils, it was the smell of pepperular pepper from his old life, which pro to cut off the monster ants chemical trail If it works the ants that come here won’t be able to follow after us”

Roland looked to Selanar who nodded, he probably didn’t have much of that oil and used it only now after ants were appearing fro with the dissecting of the monster corpses, they did nab the h This saved the for their troubles The elf continued to spill the strong-s their s as no et to a junction within various directions It looked to be clear on the inside so they ventured forhile keeping vigilant of their surroundings The ti five hours

“Do you think they will send a rescue party?”

Helci asked while looking at the ically lit cavern and the scattered minecarts

“Probably not, unless one of you is some kind of noble or rich merchant’s son that is”

Roland coirl, this was new, she thought adventurers were a tight-knit group of excitement seekers In reality, they were more or less mercenaries that wouldn’t move unless a lot of money was on the line Unless so

“If we hurry we can reach the next exit in two or three hours”

Helci was a bit saddened by the realization that no one gave a mole-rat's ass about them She could only steel her resolve and ether with felt enuine than her last party

Roland looked around, he could see that his tea tired The tunnels were stuffy and they had been wandering through the monsters Still, it would be better to continue towards the exit as soon as possible, resting in this cavern could be a death sentence if more ants appeared

“We need to follow that corridor”

Roland pointed at the next one that they needed to use, they continued forhile Selanar used up his oil behind theainst ant htnow

They arrived at another larger cavern, this tiruesome scene

“What is this?”

“Hey, isn’t that one of ours?”

Orson called out while looking around Here they saw round There were a lot more than what they encountered and besides them, there were also other bodies, the dead remains of two adventurers

They quickly assessed the situation, the other tea scuffle and suffered casualties All teams had at least five people with them, so the rest must have escaped

“shi+t…”

Roland looked at the map and then at where the corridor that led to the other exit was It had collapsed and was blocked off, it was probably safe to assume that the other adventurers set off so to think that heup already but things were also looking griood in this situation was the sheer a in those insect corpses There were even so acid ants sprinkled into theback that tunnel when they had the chance would have been the better option

“What are you doing?”

Roland asked as he spotted Orson going through the dead adventurer’s belongings He even saw hi and attach it to his belt

“What? Not like a dead man needs this”

The dead person looked like so The other was a warrior, his long sas to the side ee that those ants didn’t drag those bodies away, theyoff the detonationwhich wouldshowed up The sound this creature waswas different from the other ants Soon it appeared out of one of the corridors, its large head barely fit through it

This ant was larger than a horse Its head was soantic Theand they looked like they could split an adult human in half in one bite

Roland could somehow use his identification skill to see the monster's name and HP counter The moment he saw the numbers he frowned even more There was a threshold monsters reached just like the other races

A monster would evolve just like a person The first evolution was past the 25th level and then the second past the 50th which was sih your first tier 1 class Thisthat was on the level of a tier 2, its lower HP count indicated that it had suffered soenerated most of it now

“Watch out!”

Everyone took up a fighting position, two fighters in the front with the range attackers in the back The elf was the first one to give of a shot and his arrow traveled through the di the monster on the head To everyone’s shock, the arrow just bounced aithout leaving more than a scratch on the monster’s hard exoskeleton

After the hit, the h pitched screaly fast for its size and Dalrak would probably have a tough ti to dodge though, he lowered his center of gravity and grabbed his shi+eld with both hands He put himself between his party and the monster like a proper defender

“Coer”

(Coe head slammed into Dalrak’s heater shi+eld The shi+eld buckled under the pressure and the muscular das pushed back, his feet round below The e mandibles, the thick shi+eld was unable to stop theout

Orson didn’t wait for his party th and brought his large two-handed sword down on the ht off He was sure to aim for the weak spot in the joints and his ai at thewas blocked by the exoskeleton that only showed a slight scratch

The monster abandoned the shi+eld, Dalrak used this chance to back off His hands and legs were shaking as he was barely able to take this evolved e head-on

The ant turned its head towards the other warrior, s It was still able to keep its balance thanks to the reain as it tried to bisect the attacker Orson was too slow to react; he thought that he could at least topple theLuckily a red bolt of fire o in for the kill

TheRoland’s Fire Bolt spell to the face This was a co of spells Thewith its eyes started to h to cripple theit more or less blind

It didn’t stop there, Roland used another fire arrow spell and aiain, this finally made the monster drop down Dalrak went back into action and used this chance to swing his halberd down on the twitching ht his two-handed sword down in a si with the elf also joined in All of thes finally stopped twitching

Everyone eating and panting after defeating the tier 2 ly could use an advanced spell type

“I brought some spell scrolls…”

He explained himself while the others nodded, their conversation ended prematurely when they heard the o their way

“Ah hawp ye brought mair o' they, we ur aff tae need thai to need them)

A drop of sweat ran down Roland’s forehead He did indeed bring h of the he illing to bet his life on For now, he gatheredan incantation A blue sphere of ht hand while in his left he was holding his binder like
