The trio stopped what they were doing and looked back.

The fourth person, wearing a mask, then turned to the left.

"There are currently two..."

Before the words were finished, the branches, bushes, and weeds rustled, and a giant demonic ant rushed out.

Its size is larger than five or six adult strong men.

One of them locked onto Ai Lian and her two companions.

Like a carriage speeding across the ground, the giant ant targeted the trio and began to rampage.

"Ready to fight!"

"understood!"

Upon seeing this, Kabaru rushed forward.

Kidd, who was nearby, immediately adjusted his posture, drew his weapon, and moved to the side.

Ailian, who was being protected, ate a scallion pancake.

Unable to sing it, he had no choice but to stuff it casually into his pocket.

"Please buy me some time!"

"no problem!"

The three worked together seamlessly.

Kabaru held off the enemy, Kidd circled around to distract the opponent, and finally Ellen unleashed magic to end the battle.

The process went smoothly. While the giant ant was distracted by Kabaru, it was attacked from the side.

Before it could react, its body swayed and it almost fell over.

However, the addition of multiple limbs allowed the giant ant to immediately regain its balance.

At this moment, Ailian, having finished her chant, aimed at the enemy.

"Water Ice Demonic Spear!"

The sharp ice pierced through the giant demon ant's head and chest, killing it instantly.

Just as the three were about to celebrate, several giant demonic ants appeared.

"That's right! They're social animals! They like to hunt in groups!"

Kabaru remembered, looking nervous.

The three have some skill, but they can't be considered particularly strong.

This task was assigned to them by the president because they were short-handed.

But in order to make a living, they had no choice but to take it on...

Now they're in crisis!

"Just one more time!"

Ailian said loudly.

Kabaru nodded, preparing to charge at the monster with Kid.

But this time someone acted even faster.

He was their temporary companion... the fourth person.

"Miss Jing!"

Ailian, who called out the other person's name, saw Jing take a step forward and walk in front of the giant demon ant.

Before the three could make any further moves, the flaming sword slashed through the air.

A wave of heat swept over them, surprising Kabaru and his companions. Meanwhile, the giant demonic ants, like puppets that had lost their strings, collapsed to the ground, powerless in the scorching flames.

"Did one person wipe out all the giant demonic ants with just one move?"

Kabaru found it incredible.

But this shock didn't last long.

Because a new giant demonic ant has appeared.

Their numbers are clearly much greater than we imagined!

"Let's get out of here first."

Jing said this because she did not intend to continue the direct confrontation.

Before she could finish speaking, a strange wailing sound came from the depths of the forest.

A sharp, mournful cry suddenly filled the entire space.

The three adventurers, Kabaru, Ellen, and Kid, instinctively held their breath.

They saw it...

A strange current of air, disturbing the forest, rushed towards him!

call out--!

The airflow suddenly condensed, and a silver-white blade of air tore through space!

This was no ordinary wind; it was a terrifying force of destruction!

It swept across the battlefield at a sonic boom speed, and the space it passed through seemed to be cut open by an invisible blade, or crushed by the impact!

Before the giant demonic ants could even let out a complete scream, their insect armor was cracked with spiderweb-like fissures.

When their bodies are cut in half at the waist, the shattered flesh is instantly shredded by that invisible current of air.

"Woo——!!"

Suddenly, the swarm of demonic ants behind them erupted in a collective wail.

The insect swarms that had not yet joined the battle were frantically retreating deeper into the forest, but their escape routes had been completely blocked.

A violent gust of air swept across the battlefield, plunging into the darkness.

When these terrifying forces touched the demonic ants hiding everywhere, a teeth-grinding cracking sound suddenly echoed throughout the forest.

The ant colony, which was densely packed just three seconds ago, has now vanished without a trace.

Only the cuts on the tree trunks and the lingering smell of blood in the air prove that a brutal massacre once took place here.

"This...this is...wind magic?"

Kabaru's hands trembled as he looked around.

"Was space just cut open?"

Ailian swallowed hard, thankful that the fleeting touch on her cheek hadn't severed her life...

"It was definitely cut open... I'm sure of it."

The thief remembered frowning, his expression serious, as he cautiously looked around.

The three adventurers became very nervous.

"It's even more terrifying than the power Miss Jing just displayed..."

As Ailian sighed, she noticed Jing staring at the northwest side.

So Ailian also looked over.

Amidst the devastating storm that ravaged the forest, a figure appeared atop a colossal magical beast.

"The giant demonic ants have all been wiped out; you are safe now."

The three adventurers watched as the enormous monster obediently lay down like a pet, allowing the people on its back to land safely.

And that person came before the adventurers.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Chen Hai. Now... let me tell you something."

"Um... of course, of course."

After Kabaru finished speaking, he quickly grabbed Chen Hai's hand.

They dare not refuse now.

otherwise……

The three of them glanced once more at the sea of ​​trees ravaged by the storm, and knew exactly what their next choice would be.

Only by obediently cooperating can one have a chance to survive.

After Chen Hai thoroughly cleared the giant demonic ants from the forest, he returned to the goblin village with three adventurers and the masked man.

Knowing that the masked man was Izawa Shizue, Tatsumi did not immediately strike up a conversation, but waited for a suitable opportunity.

Back to the present moment —

"Everyone... as I just said, these rocks are not strong enough. If we add more details, it will be easy to break them, and then the statue will be completely destroyed."

"Wait a minute, Kurobei-san, Lord Tatsumi's arm muscles are a bit bigger, right? Could you add some stones to them?"

"You are... Gobuta? Regarding your suggestion, how do you fix it after adding stones? Do you have pine resin? Or some plaster? If neither works..."

"There are spiders in the forest that spit silk and slime. Shall we go and collect some?"

"Now?"

"That's right, our Lord Chenhai's statue needs to have more muscles! Oh, and the mouth and ears can be bigger! Isn't it said that he has eyes in all directions and ears in all directions?"

"I think you've misunderstood the meaning of that sentence. Also... where did you learn that?"

"I just heard it from Elder Bai."

Beside the Chenhai statue, Kurobei chatted with a group of goblins led by Gobuta.

The main purpose was to discuss the future carving process.

At this point, Shuna and Shion also joined in.

"How about adding a piece of clothing to Lord Chenhai's statue? A really cool one."

"Shuna, I think a suitable weapon is more important than a cool coat, such as a pure gold spear."

“That’s true, shall we do it together? I can sew clothes.”

"As for weapons... I guess we should leave them to Kurobei after all."

The goblin and the demon, who had only known each other for a short time, started chatting seriously about the topic of the 'Chenhai Statue', and seemed quite familiar with each other.

Chen Hai was at a loss for words...

Those who were engrossed in the topic of 'how to make the Chenhai statue more imposing' failed to notice that Chenhai himself had returned.

Only when the three adventurers exclaimed in surprise did the goblins and demons look at Chen Hai.

"Lord Tatsumi!"

"you are back!"

Zhu Cai and Zi Yuan hurriedly ran towards Chen Hai.

"Boss! Welcome back!"

Gobuta also lunged at Chenhai, but was caught in the mouth by Lanya, whose legs swung wildly in the air.

At this moment, Zhu Cai's gaze fell on the remaining few people.

"Who are these people...? The humans you mentioned earlier?"

"kindness."

After Chen Hai answered, Zi Yuan stared at the group warily.

Goo!
