Chapter 460: Breaking Through the Ground

Smile… Is she smiling at me?

Jilly, who was riding next to Lvzi, froze for a moment.

And… even though it was the first time they had met, why did she feel that this girl reminded her of Sister White Feather?

Speaking of which, this kingdom’s Chief Mage was truly a great beauty! Oh! Although she hadn’t really seen her yet, Sister White Feather must be a beautiful big sister too, right? Mature, beautiful, and charming!

While Jilly was lost in thought, Magic Rainbow, who was in the air, turned her gaze back to the mountain of flesh.

Just like Lvzi, Army Lady, and Stealth One, she had already assessed this monstrous mountain the moment she saw it.

The assessment results were still the same as what Stealth Seventeen and Stealth Eighteen had reported before; apart from the “Unique Skill—Plunder” in the skill bar, everything else was a jumbled mess of letters.

Although not seeing its panel level was a bit concerning, since even a simple cold wind spell could hinder its movement, perhaps she had overestimated its strength?

Magic Rainbow thought to herself while controlling the power of the cold wind magic, making the meat mountain follow the adventurers at a slow pace, about fifty meters behind them.

After chasing for most of the day, when they finally saw the vast forest in the distance, Jilly, sitting on her horse, suddenly froze.

That… that forest is!!

She widened her eyes, her lips trembling slightly.

Although she had planned to return to Granville Monster Forest to see the person she had missed for six years, that should happen only after she completed her mission!

I can’t lead this meat mountain monster towards Granville Monster Forest! Sister White Feather is a Class C adventurer; if she accidentally runs into this meat mountain monster…

Thinking this, the brown-haired girl’s face suddenly turned pale.

“Sister Army Lady—”

“Everyone, speed up and rush into the forest! A powerful force that can defeat the monster is inside the forest!”

Just when Jilly was about to ask Army Lady for help, Magic Rainbow in the sky shouted loudly to the soldiers and adventurers below.

In the forest?

Is the destination really Granville Monster Forest?

If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do.

By the way, if the meat mountain really attacks the forest, she just needed to protect Sister White Feather before it got to her.

Although Jilly had never seen her sister’s face, she was confident she would recognize her at first glance.

“Sister, let’s charge ahead!”

Thinking of “Sister White Feather,” Jilly’s long-suppressed longing filled her heart again. She just wanted to see her quickly, to stand in front of her and protect her, to share the experiences of the past years with her after the battle, and to boast about her current Adventurer Level and strength…

However, she did not consider the vastness of Granville Monster Forest, one of the largest forests on the continent. If it were compared to the ocean, throwing a person into this forest would not even create a ripple.

How could they meet right after entering the forest?

But at that moment, the girl didn’t think much. She was a little impatient and rushed ahead without waiting for Lvzi, Army Lady, and Stealth One to respond.

“I’m so anxious! Why are you more anxious than me?”

“After all, we haven’t seen each other for more than six years.”

Army Lady continued.

“Imagine if it were us not seeing Mom for more than six years; our reaction might be even more exaggerated than hers.”

“Well, that’s true… but for me, one day without seeing Mom feels just like a year! Time drags on!”

While saying this, Lvzi also hurriedly rode forward.

…

The leading general, Ganther, heard Magic Rainbow’s voice and ordered the soldiers to move forward at full speed, and the adventurers behind the soldiers quickly reacted as well.

A few minutes later, everyone rushed into the forest.

Horses were not suited to move in the forest, so as soon as they entered, their speed slowed down.

The rumbling sound created by the massive creature behind them gradually got closer.

If it chased them into the forest, many soldiers and adventurers would undoubtedly be crushed beneath its feet.

What about the powerful being? Could it deal with the massive creature?

As everyone anxiously looked around, a series of rustling sounds came from beneath the ground.

Then came loud thumping sounds, and everyone saw that all around them, countless huge holes suddenly opened up in areas they could see, and one by one, yellowish monsters emerged from the earth, nearly the same size as their horses.

Their bodies consisted of a head, chest, abdomen, and six very strong-looking legs, but what surprised everyone the most was that these yellowish monsters had a pair of gigantic jaws in front of their heads.

“Ant, ant monster?!”

“And it’s really big!!”

“Darn it, with a wolf in front and a tiger behind, we’re really done for now.”

The soldiers and adventurers were shocked by the ant monster that suddenly emerged from the ground, but they had no time to be surprised. As the yellow Earth Digging Ant opened the exit, other types of ant monsters began to rush out from the hole behind it.

Military Ant, Acid Ant, Iron Armored Ant, Earth Digging Ant—these were all kinds of ant monsters that the human race had never seen before.

Among these ant species, the Iron Armored Ant, which had excellent defense and strength and was also very large, was the one that made them the most afraid.

“B-class? No, is it an advanced Class A monster?”

The adventurers each tightened their grip on their weapons.

“Don’t panic, and don’t attack! They are what I mentioned, the ones that can deal with the meat mountain.”

At that moment, Magic Rainbow shouted, and her words surprised everyone even more.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that not only in the forest but even outside of it, there were many places where the ground had been broken, and many ant monsters jumped out from them.

Above them, Magic Rainbow, the Chief Mage of the kingdom, increased the power of her cold wind magic, causing the meat mountain’s movement speed to slow down.

However, the reason the meat mountain didn’t continue to chase was not only because of the cold wind magic.

The ants also played a part.

The ants that broke through the ground surrounded the meat mountain from all sides.

For the meat mountain, both humans and monsters could be its food, and the strong presence of the surrounding ant monsters also attracted it, causing the meat mountain to suddenly stop moving.

“Roar!!”

It shrieked and prepared to attack the surrounding ants.

Just then, a loud dragon roar suddenly came from the sky above the forest.

The sound caught the attention of the meat mountain again, and the soldiers and adventurers were no exception.

So they saw five large dragons flying in the sky above the forest, each looking different.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that there were some… people standing on the backs of these flying dragons? They appeared to have two long… antennae on their heads?
