Chapter 182: Escort
Ch. 182 Escort
With the red ant carrying the centipede dumpling back to its nest, I stealthily follow it.
For now, I need to see whether that red ant can safely carry the centipede dumpling back or not.
Even though a red ant is fairly strong even on its own, this one is right now considerably weakened. If another monster attacks and kills it while it’s in the middle of its journey, then all of this work up till now will go up in smoke. It’s a strange party composition, but I must make sure that it’s properly escorted to the nest.
However, watching the ant so arduously carry the centipede dumpling, it’s starting to unintentionally sway my emotions. That red ant, to think that it’s trying its hardest to carry that centipede dumpling for the sake of its colony… Discovering that pile of centipede dumplings must have been such a great achievement that it might have potentially raised its spirits.
I shake my head and wipe that thought out of my mind. Pointless, it’s pointless.
The dumpling has to be carried back by the red ant if I am to continue leveling. If this plan fails, I probably won’t be able to win against that hero.
If I’m to level up quickly and efficiently in this desert, then there really isn’t any other option other than to destroy the red ants’ nest. The Giant Centipede is gone, and hunting around for Large Slug-class monsters would be a painstaking effort. It’s a terrible thing to say, but with each red ant being in the same class as a Large Slug, they’re exceptionally good for leveling.
That, uh… that red ant. Is it just me or is it moving a little strangely? Just as I thought that, the red ant collapses and drops the centipede dumpling from its mouth.
