Seeing his partner suddenly disappear due to getting into the inventory, the other ants began to split away from me. Of course I won't let it, the iron golems have already lined up almost around the ants. Their only safe escape was to return to the dungeon entrance.
I continued to slash at the warrior ants that were near me. While the iron golems blocked the direction of the ant's escape. Fina who was activating her invisibility skill finished off the warrior ants that tried to pass through the golem siege.
The siege of the golems grew smaller and smaller after I ordered to let the escape area towards the dungeon remain open. I thought that this way the ants would only focus on running back into the dungeon and would not overflow as well as jump over the siege of the golem. With this, the ants that would jump over the golems were getting less and less as most would focus on getting into the dungeon and Fina would not struggle against the many ants.
*wussh*
*wussh*
*wussh*
A few hundred slashes later, there were no more ants outside the dungeon and we managed to gain control at the dungeon entrance. The warrior ants that had managed to return to the dungeon were already out of sight, perhaps they were willing to retreat for a moment to rearrange the formation.
As the enemy retreated, I used this opportunity to collect all the ant corpses that Fina defeated and store them in the inventory. I also took as many liana plants as possible, considering the size of the dungeon, there is a possibility of our way to escape from the dungeon as previously would not be possible here.
Of the 26 highly meritorious iron golems blocking the warrior ants, I canceled the magic of one golem to create a new golem. I made one large golem out of a stone that was the equivalent of the entrance of this dungeon, which I would estimate the diameter of the entrance of this dungeon to be about 30 meters. With the completion of the creation of a 30-meter high golem, our TB for this dungeon has been prepared.
Next I canceled the magic of 10 iron golems and created a small golem out of sand similar to a tiger beetle. The finished golem shape was created quite small maybe only a few centimeters, for the size of a small insect he was also quite agile. These little golems I will use as a lookout in front.
Finished sending the scout golems, we followed casually from behind with a formation of one TB stone golem the front followed by 15 iron golems then the back of me and Fina. The walls of this dungeon are somewhat different from before, if the previous dungeon on the wall has natural blue lights, this dungeon is pitch dark no lighting whatsoever. Fortunately I was still able to see thanks to the Eye of the Moon, but since Fina was not, so some iron golems carried torches as lighting.
We've been walking in this dungeon for a few minutes but we haven't crossed paths with any ants. So while I was leisurely walking through the dungeon, I connected the liana plant to make a long rope.
While making ropes, I also noticed what the lookout golems were doing. The deeper the scouting golems explored, the more branches the dungeon had. I think this place is like a big city of ants, there is no way we can trace it in just one day. The most efficient way to complete this dungeon in just one day was to directly hunt down the dungeon owner and then take the dungeon core and quickly escape from here.
If it's been all day but never found the core of the dungeon forced us to go back to the Moon Island. I also want to hurry to go to the city to buy various items there. Thinking about the city, I became reminded of how the adventurers who came here with Jaya the original owner of this body who used to be.
Jaya the owner of this body was born and raised in the Kingdom of Patgara which is in the south of where I am today. If I go back now and tell you about what happened and how the guide from the Kingdom of Gagara deceived the people of the Kingdom of Patgara even to the expense of the Patgara nobles, would they believe Jaya's words were only the lowest-level adventurers? Hmm.. Most likely not.
“aha!” I said, while thinking about various things while making rope, finally one of the scout golems saw a collection of ants. From the looks of it, it seemed like the warrior ants were directing the worker ants to a place. Not long after, the other lookout golems that were on the other branch of the road also saw a similar scene. Looks like they're evacuating?
Scout golems I've been assigned to follow them. If the direction of his evacuation is to the dungeon core, we can get to the destination quickly! However, my thoughts just now were instantly shattered. Dear thousand dear what I expected is not appropriate. One of the scouting golems that followed the ants instead found another entrance of this dungeon. The ants seemed to have decided to leave the dungeon. Hmm...why did they so easily decide to leave the dungeon? Do they think our group is too strong? Well, instead of thinking about the uncertain, I would rather cultivate the focus on the other scout golems.
From the sight of the scouting golems, there were several groups of ants that left the dungeon and some went deeper inside. Their behavior looks awkward to me, why do they separate?
“What's wrong?”
It seemed like the confusion I felt was clearly visible on my face so Fina asked if something was wrong, so I answered.
“There was a strange, the ants easily decided to leave the dungeon. Not only that, they were also separated, some went to leave the dungeon, others instead walked deeper into the dungeon. I don't understand what they're doing.”
Hearing my answer, Fina just kept quiet. He didn't seem to know what the ants were doing. Since our focus now wants to obtain the dungeon core, I decided to no longer follow the ants that have left the dungeon. I sidetrack the scouting golems to continue tracing the dungeon alone. The more one roams, the faster we find the dungeon core.
A moment passed, I was struck by something unexpected.
“Wow!”
“What's up?”
“I've found the dungeon core!”
Yep! One of the scouting golems managed to find the core of the dungeon along with its owner. Whereas the scout golems that found the dungeon core did not follow the ants that went deeper into the dungeon, he only traced the branches of this dungeon from the beginning.
“Come we go soon!” take me.
While we were on our way to the dungeon core, the lookout golems I made seemed to have been detected by the dungeon owner. The owner of the dungeon attacked the scouting golem which although the golem was nimble, could not avoid the dungeon owner's extensive attack coverage. My last glance through the lookout golem was how the dungeon owner sprayed the acidic liquid from his tail towards the lookout golem.
