Leah was slicing through the warrior ants like they were made out of grass.Rowan was astonished to see her improvement. “Her blade isn’t even stopping. Just what level did she reach?”“Probably close to my level,” Wendevorr said.“What? How can she reach close to 250 already? Did she kill sentinels?’“Uh, yeah. She killed two of them through stealth in one strike,” Wendevoor said. His legs still hadn’t regenerated, so he looked a bit dull and unmotivated to fight. “That gave her a big boost in stats, and she gained a stealth skill, too.”Rowan had bruises all over his body, and he kept struggling against commander ants that were fighting against him using his numbers. “I want to kill sentinels, too!”“First fight us and win, you bastard!” the commander ants angrily yelled at him. They were furious with the way Rowan was talking with Wendevorr while fighting him.“You think I can’t beat you piece of shits?” Rowan roared and widely swung his club horizontally, breaking through their sh
It took eighteen hours for Leah and others to fight hundreds of thousands of ants and kill them all, leaving none alive.Hundreds of sentinels and thousands of commanders could not put up a fight against a team of five that included Leah, Rowan, Sesi, Goya, and Wendevorr.Gary did not give his team members a hand. Though he did leave some sentinels on the verge of death so that his team members could easily level up, he didn’t directly join his team and fight with them. Because he wanted them to reap as much benefit from the fight as they could.By the time all the monster ants on the land of Philippines were killed, every single of Gary’s team earned the title of Ant Annihilator, and they received different abilities related to ants, too.Leah received the passive skill of an ant’s tenacity, which would help her keep fighting despite the physical pain inflicted during the fight.Rowan gained the Super Muscle skill, which would allow him to bear extremely heavy weights just like how t
At around six in the morning.Gary met his team members in the midst of thousands of humans who were asking them how to get strong and how to help them.Sesi told them how to unlock the systems so they could also level up. When they all had system windows pop up before them, it got them very excited.Some were literally in shock.Rowan was swinging his club and creating constant wind that made the kids float in the air, and they giggled and enjoyed it. When he turned to the ladies, they didn’t want it for obvious reasons.Goya and Wendevorr were fighting in the distance, refining each other’s skills by fighting seriously.Leah was talking to a group of people. “We cannot be here and look over your progress. Besides, we’ve killed all the monsters on these lands so that you people can live here peacefully for the time being. But if you do wish to level up, then I’m afraid you’ll have to travel to other regions by sea.”People gave different answers to what she had said.Leah saw Gary in
The blue flames spat out by the cockatrice burned not just the trees but even the ground, and the heat spread through the ground as well as the air, making it much difficult to be in its vicinity.The cultivators that were running away from it were by no means weak. The cockatrice was just too strong.“We are already at the edge of the forest, and it’s still chasing us.”“If it follows us into the town, the entire town will be destroyed.”“Should we then separate and let it chase us back into the woods?”“But who would sacrifice themselves?”As they were looking at each other, the cockatrice closed in even more, making them scream in horror. Just then, a figure flew over their heads and punched the cockatrice jaw, making it scream painfully as its teeth cracked and broke. The cockatrice was sent flying into a tree that was bigger than this monster.“EHH?” the cultivators’ had their eyes spring out of their sockets. “Who’s that person?”“How did he beat the ‘kinglet’ from the Central W
“Gya ree?” They looked at each other. “That’s a very great name!” They began to laugh together.“It’s Gary, not Gyaree,” he tried to correct them.“Gaahree, Gyaree,” they still butchered his name in more ways anyway.“Forget it,” Gary gave up quickly.To Gary, they seemed like a young, polite, and friendly bunch. He smiled and said, “Since we have this cockatrice monster ready and roasted, shall we eat it?”“Cock-what? You mean the kinglet?”“Yeah,” Gary said.“Yes. Let us cook it for you,” the four of them quickly got down to the business. “The best edible part of the kinglet is its neck. There’s a legend that if we eat even a single piece of its neck meat, our necks will get much stronger and durable, and that we’ll never suffer a throat pain.”“Oh, that’s pretty nice,” Gary said.Soon, his teammates arrived at the scene. Gary introduced them to these four cultivators who also introduced themselves as members of two different sects. The two women were members of the Fallen Flower Se
“Sixth sense?” Rowan asked. “What exactly is that?”“Put your hand behind your back and close some fingers,” Ryu Ren said. He had green hair and was tall and well-defined like a tree.Rowan did what he was told to do.Ryu Ren kept looking into Rowan’s eyes, and the air around them began to shift ever so slightly, causing the leaves to rustle gently. “You have four fingers closed, and one finger open. The fourth finger.”Rowan’s eyes widened. “H-How did you know that?” He had kept his ring finger open, but no one was sitting behind him, so there was no way for Ryu Ren to know. Yet he somehow got it correct.“My hair helped me with finding the answer,” Ryu Ren said.“So, it’s not even a guess?”“No,” Ryu Ren said. “You can do it if you stimulate your mind and learn to sense the world through your hair. It’s very helpful. You’ll be able to feel many more things your five senses can’t. For instance,” he looked at Gary. “I feel a very strong energy from him that I don’t feel from others.
“So you entered this forest because you were looking for the elixir?” Sesi asked Bee Ree and Yee Lee.“Yes. Both of our sect leaders fought against a powerful enemy,” Bee Ree said. She had a long braid that was very thick and full of life. Her smile was also full, giving her a very attractive appearance. “They were poisoned. And we were told that a powerful cultivator named Chun Fu stored a life-saving elixir in the center of this forest.”“We thought we could get there if we sneak our way through these woods,” Yee Lee pitifully said. She was slim but had a muscular body. It was obvious that she physically exerted herself a lot to get such a body which wouldn’t be possible to achieve without greatly disciplining oneself. “Things went smoothly until we reached halfway in, and then the kinglet found us. It wasn’t supposed to be there. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have gotten caught off guard. Now, we don’t have the energy or the motivation to give another try.”“Give us the location of your s
Leah was looking at the map. “This is pretty detailed. It shows what monsters live in which regions, along with the drawings of the monsters. But, the problem is that it’s pretty big. It’s over 400 square miles in area. That means we need to cover nearly 200 miles to get to the center. There are beasts in the sky, too, that we need to watch over.”“Which beasts are the closest to us?” Rowan asked her.“Let me check,” Leah took another look at the map. “Preying Mantis. No level is given, so I’m not sure how strong they are. Also, it’s written Preying Mantis, as in P-R-E-Y, not Praying Mantis as in P-R-A-Y.”“Does it matter?” Rowan snorted. “They’re probably both the same.”“Gary was able to take care of a level 500 monster with ease, and that’s supposed to be living deep in these woods,” Sesi said. “So I don’t think there’s a need for us to be afraid of facing the monster living at the edge of the forest.’“She’s right,” Wendevorr agreed with her. “However, we cannot overlook the fact
