Chapter 139
Ch . 139 Mysterious Underground Passage
“GiJiJii!” “GiJiJiJiJiJiJii!!”
I approached the ball rabbit with my mouth open while the huge centipede was crying behind .
Look, it may be dangerous so get inside . But the ball rabbit shakes its head .
「Behind, walking」
You’d rather walk behind then be thrown back into my mouth?
…If that’s okay with you then . Fortunately the back was closed by the huge centipede, so I don’t need to worry about anything coming in . If I had them in my mouth then I will be unable to use any form of breath attacks, so this may be for the better .
Should I have the ball rabbit carry Nina?
“guuga!”
I lightly voice out and instruct the ball rabbit to carry Nina . I thought that it might alarm any monsters hidden in the passage, but it was a wasted concern as the huge centipede screeches . The other side is probably already well alerted .
I catch sothing moving beyond the corner of this passage with [[Presence Sense]] . But because of the thick walls the sign is weak, but there’s is definitely sothing moving towards here .
It’s hard to think that there are humans in the middle of such a desert .
Although, there could be ruins here, there is a high possibility that it was converted to a den for monsters .
The huge centipede which is the biggest threat in this desert is unable to pass through here, so this is a good place for monsters to make their ho .
The ball rabbit follows my instructions, lifts Nina and places her on his head with its dexterous ears . It tried to move forward but Nina’s legs were dragged across the ground . That…I wonder if it can make due sohow .
Did the ball rabbit know what I was thinking, it jumps a little and shifts Nina up a little more with a “Pefuto” . I guess it’s dragging her head this ti . The ball rabbit set Nina down and sucked in air as if taking a drink . For a mont the body of the ball rabbit was puffier, but after the sound of a gulp, the ball rabbit returned to its original shape as if nothing happened .
Err…This is, yeah .
I couldn’t understand what happened for a second there so I didn’t respond, but I know it didn’t do that because it was hungry . I think it just imitated my mouth from the ti I was carrying it . That reminds that the ball rabbit had the skill [[Internal Body Storage]] . This is just making more anxious .
“Pefu!”
Maybe due to my impolite thoughts the ball rabbit has bulging eyes and inflated cheeks . Oh, yeah, I’m sorry, I know it’s safe… . I know that you won’t digest .
After checking that the huge centipede is still immobile in the back, I start to advance through the narrow passage . The ball rabbit follows behind while dragging Nina .
Every step we take I feel signs of sothing approaching with [[Presence Sense]] . It doesn’t seem to be that big . With that size, I hope it’s not a terribly strong opponent . Being wary of this, I start walking along a little slower .
I wonder if they are also afraid of coming around the corner . Even I was avoiding going too fast so that I don’t suddenly bump heads with whatever is coming, as I can’t really tell what it is .
We share a mutual interest .
I go through the straight passageway and make a turn at the corner . There I saw two big worms at the end of the passage .
I thought that it was one big body, but I guess due to the thick walls, [[Presence Sense]] didn’t work too well .
They were two sizes smaller than and their whole body was bright red . The size ratio could roughly be estimated as a dium sized dog compared to a human . They had eight short legs and the space between their chest and abdon was extrely constricted .
No, this is an ant .
When I was running through the desert using [[Roll]], I feel like I had seen it in the distance .

These guys stats are unreasonably strong . Its attack and defense are fine, but its speed is stupidly high for being at C rank .
It’s completely specialized in close combat . Although it may be several steps below , it’s still not alright with there being two of them .
Even a single one would be troubleso .
I don’t see any skills that I should particularly watch out for, and I also hardly see any resistance skills . Just with their status alone however, and there being two of them, it makes it more troubleso than facing the large slug .
Besides, since the ball rabbit is behind I have to be careful not to let either of them get by .
I don’t really want to fight them… .
Maybe they aren’t hostile?
and the two red ants stop with our faces facing each other .
“kucha, kucha!” “kucha! kucha!”
When the red ants saw they let out a shrill voice . That noise, it’s like they are rubbing their teeth together .
The huge centipede was the sa . I’m sure now that I’m not very confident .
「Begone, I tell you」
The ball rabbit calls out from behind .
Go ho, and don’t look back .
You heard the centipedes cries, so isn’t it already decided what we will do?
“Gurua”
Ball rabbit, please tell them that it’s impossible because there’s a huge centipede blocking the way .
I’ll leave it to my translator to ask .
「You understand, begone, go die」
I see, did you just tell it to die?
There won’t be any room for negotiations after this .
“Kucha!” “Kucha, kucha!”
Both red ants move towards at the sa ti right after the ball rabbit finishes translating .
Ah dammit! Guess I have to this after all!
