After getting the Quest he got from finding a nest of monsters not far from where they were. Xi pondered for a while, as he did not have any information about the monster's nest. In addition, he did not know what kind of monster lived in the nest. When he came there without preparation, and enough information about the monster's nest. He was worried that something bad might happen to them.
In addition, as he was contemplating something. Unknowingly he thought of Sanzun who was chatting with his subordinates, at that moment it flashed through his mind that he remembered Sanzun was a forest bandit who had been wading through this forest for a very long time.
He closed his eyes, and muttered in his heart "How could I forget? I'm really stupid... " Said Xi in her heart, shaking her head foolishly. Then he called Sanzun.
" Sanzun can you come here for a minute! " Said Xi.
Hearing that, Sanzun nodded and walked up to Xi. Arriving in front of Xi, he politely said "What is my Master? " Task Sanzun politely.
Xi looked at Sanzun calmly. " There's a monster's nest around here, right? " Reply Xi while asking back.
Hearing the question, Sanzun held his chin. With great effort he thought of remembering the monster nest that was nearby. After he remembered it, he said "Yes... There's a monster's nest around here but... " Sanzun replied with a slightly sweaty face. Seemed after recalling that, Sanzun looked anxious and scared, like something terrible had happened to him.
Looking at Sanzun who stopped talking, Xi raised next to his eyebrows while saying "But? Butwhat? Is there something there? " Said Xi.
Sanzun shook his head, then continued what he wanted to say before, while recalling the events that had happened to him first. " Not far from here there is indeed a nest of monsters... Monsters - monsters that occupy the place are types of insects. More precisely that place was a nest of ant monsters. In the past when I was still part of the Fafnir empire, we led a hundred more elite adventurers of the Empire to conquer the place. Among those adventurers, there were about 25 Rank adventurers including me, and 3 Rank S people. " Sanzun said while recalling the expedition.
" In the beginning, in the attack nothing strange happened. We can easily defeat the ants - the ants that are in there. Although the rank of ants - ants is not low, but we can overcome everything with cooperation. At that time we were very confident to beat the boss of the nest, but it happened to strange after we almost arrived at the boss room. Where the number of ants increases very much, not only ants, but there are many other insects in there. "
" The appearance of the group of insects in large numbers, gave a big boost to us. Their appearance, like a huge sea wave, struck whatever was before him. Therefore, the elite adventurer group we led at that time began to fall a lot, and the top Rank adventurers were also killed a lot including the three Rank S who participated at that time. Feeling unable to complete the expedition, I decided to go with the others back to the Empire. However, when we reached the Empire, what we received was not a warm welcome. But it was a humiliation and threw away those of us who were on the expedition back then with disrespect. " Sanzun.
When telling all that, a sad face was painted on Sanzun's face. Losing many of his comrades during the expedition greatly struck his heart, even as they were in the worst of circumstances, the Empire did not respond to them well, but instead drove them out because of their ineptness in the expedition to produce failure. Sanzun's colleagues who were injured when they returned, they all ended up losing their lives because they did not get help at that time. And that made Sanzun hate the Fafnir Empire so much for treating them badly.
Xi who heard that, he expressed his face with a flat face, which seemed to ignore the sad story told by Sanzun. However, from that story, Xi was able to deduce that there were a lot of insect-type monsters occupying the nest. Recall that insects can reproduce quickly, and produce very many offspring when they lay eggs.
It had become a natural thing why the insects in there were so many. However, what Xi thought most about was the insect queen who led many of the insect colonies. Not only lead ant colonies, but the insect queen also leads other insects. That proves that the queen of insects is very strong, because it can lead insect colonies in large numbers.
" Sir, are we going there? I'm afraid we'll go there... Only death will await us! " Sanzun said as he asked. He was also anxious and did not want to come to that place anymore.
Sanzun hoped that they would not go to that place. Although he knew his master was very strong, but he was still not sure if they could conquer the place. He thought he would get the answer he hoped for. But it's the opposite.
" We're going there... You lead the way now! " Said Xi while summoning some of his beast-type Darkness Army.
Looking at the beast made of darkness, Sanzun fell silent. It can be felt if the ferocious creature like a tiger emits magic energy which is very ferocious. As if as he sensed that magic energy, his body felt like it was torn apart by an extremely sharp claw.
" What are you daydreaming about? " Task Xi coldly to Sanzun.
Instantly Sanzun immediately shook his head. It could be felt from those cold eyes, a terrifying killing intent flashed. " Okay sir, I'll show you the way. " Sanzun said politely as he lowered his head.
As bright as that he turned around and rode his horse. " Everything! Quickly get ready we'll go to the ant monster nest! " Sanzun said loudly. Ordered all his subordinates to be prepared - ready.
The other bandits started running to and fro to retrieve their weapons. As bright as they ride their own horses, they leave the place to go to the nest of ant monsters that want them seven.
Horses ran very fast, making the surface resistant to shaking along with the thick dust that appeared due to the large number of horses that ran. On their way Sanzun tells the story of the monster's lair, after he and his brothers left the Fafnir empire.
According to the rumors circulating, the Fafnir Empire had at least sent out a large number of adventurers. After Sanzun's departure, the Empire had made three more raids into the Dungeon. However, the results of all the attacks failed miserably.
In the first wave, the adventurers sent out reached a hundred people. However, after entering the dungeon, there were only about a dozen people who managed to survive. And they had to suffer very severe injuries, and might end up with lifelong disabilities.
In the second wave, a year after the first wave. The Empire did not give up on conquering the Dungeon. A large group was sent with 275 adventurers. There were about 4 adventurers with Rank S, 39 adventurers Rank A (Empire Elite ), 67 adventurers Rank B, 53 Rank C, 72 adventurers Rank D, and 40 adventurers Rank E. In that attack, they managed to break into the dungeon very quickly. However, within a few hours later, they were all slaughtered and none of them came back.
Hearing all of that, Xi looked speechless and pondered something. In the third wave, there was a white tiger that massacred the Imperial army with great ease, even they were leveled in less than 30 minutes. What flashed through his mind back then was merely the figure of an extremely powerful being, surpassing even a Rank S monster.
LEGENDARY BEAST, AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL AND MIGHTY TIGER, THE WHITE TIGER BYAKKO.
" If it was a Legendary Beast that massacred them... Then no doubt... " Said Xi in her heart. As bright as that he glanced at Sanzun who was riding his focused horse. " Sanzun, you think to your knowledge... How many Rank S were killed there? " Task Xi seriously.
Hearing the question, Sanzun tried to remember it. Since the first wave did not have clear information on how many Rank S were participating, Sanzun could only guess. " Maybe about more than 10 or it could be less, because in the first wave the information is very unclear. " Answer Sanzun.
Hearing that, Xi's face looked solemn. His sharp and focused gaze, looked very careful with the opponent he would face later. Because the opponent he will face may not be an easy enemy to defeat.
" That Dungeon has taken many lives, and among them are top-class adventurers S and A Rank... This monster cannot be underestimated. " Said Xi in her heart.
After another hour of traveling, they arrived in front of a sizable cave. The cave is located under the roots of the trees - the trees that are there. Within a considerable distance from the mouth of the cave, they were able to feel the magic energy radiance coming out from within the cave was terrifying.
The aura is very gripping, until - until they get a pressure that is strong enough, to make them a little difficulty in taking a breath. Even in that situation, they can already ascertain how dangerous the monsters that are in there are.
" This is the lair of the master, the insect Dungeon that has claimed many human lives... And not infrequently also took the lives of monsters... " Sanzun said with a slightly sweaty face. He could smell a foul smell from inside the nest.
" How many people have been killed there? Until - to make his aura so terrible! " Astia said with a serious look on her face. He actually felt a different and very dangerous aura. And this aura was very different from monsters in general.
" I don't know how many died... But, there is very little chance of us coming back alive... " Said Bass, with his anxious face. Even though he had obtained a powerful item, he still did not believe that he could defeat the Dungeon.
A lightning with extremely high speed flew with a fast sangay. His speed is incredible, can even rival the speed of the fastest bird. The lightning moved flying towards the bandit group that was near the insect Dungeon that had never been conquered.
" SANZUN! " A very loud and powerful voice.
The sound made them all surprised, because suddenly there was a purple-colored lightning seemed to hit them very quickly. The bandits saw the lightning bolt towards them, they were all trembling. Because with the lightning speed that was so fast, perhaps they did not have a chance to dodge.
The purple lightning also fell right on the sweep of them all. Slowly the lightning disappeared, like it was being absorbed by something. From the dust that the lightning struck, there appeared a middle-aged man standing there casually while staring at Sanzun.
The middle-aged lung man looked extremely happy when he saw Sanzun coming to this invincible Insect Dungeon. For more than a year, he had not seen Sanzun, and finally he could see his stupid face again. The middle-aged man was really happy when he saw it.
" Strong lightning energy! " Astia said as she looked at the middle-aged lung man.
" Zapdas, I haven't seen you in a long time your attitude hasn't changed at all. You really are a very annoying old jacka. " Reply Sanzun lightly. Sanzun can speak like that, as he is used to the middle-aged lung man he refers to as Zapdas.
Zapdas looked at Sanzun sharply. Looking around, it seemed that he had been roamed around by many bandits. Even so, it seems he is still calm even though it has been surrounded by many people.
" HUH! An attitude? Do you care about my attitude? A year ago, we defeated all of you! " Said Zapdas while looking at Sanzun sharply. Then, he turned to be extremely annoyed and said "Crazy Bandit, what do you want to do in this place?! Even with this amount, you won't be able to defeat them! " Next Zapdas. Then his face changed again and looked at Sanzun sarcastically "Or do you think you want to subdue me to be your subordinate? You know you can't beat us? "
Sanzun responded to Zapdas' words with a smile. With confidence he said "Old man, don't worry this time I didn't have that intention before you came. But, maybe that will change, I could just admit you later. " Sanzun said.
Hearing that, Zapdas was silent for a moment thinking about the words of Sanzun. He knew that Sanzun always had that confidence, but he felt that Sanzun's confidence this time was too high. It made an unpleasant feeling appear in his heart.
However, suddenly the wind blows strong. A vortex was created because of the strong wind. The leaves began to fly, and turned. The sound of laughter was loud enough to be heard by everyone there. The sound of laughter, was very similar to the voice of a woman who was laughing.
" Haha! Did this kid find anything good to have that kind of confidence? " Said someone while laughing. Looks down a woman from the wind whirlpool is quite strong. A middle-aged woman, but her appearance is not too old or not too easy. The appearance of the woman, looks like a beautiful campus woman.
" So she... The hurricane Sanzun said? I can admit his angular powers are incredible. " Said Xi in her heart as she looked at the woman with her sharp gaze. " I wasn't interested in them at first but... After seeing with my own eyes, they will become something important later. " Advanced Xi who seems to be interested in recruiting the two people into his group. More precisely to join Sanzun's group, so that this forest bandit group becomes even stronger.
