Chapter 170
Ch . 170 – The Third eting
I scan my surroundings for my prey as I walk through the desert . I thought it would be easy at first, but it turns out that wasn’t the case . I try to rember the location of the ant’s nest as I move along, but at this rate, I’ll be lucky if I’m able to find it .
I should keep moving . I’ll fly again and look around .
“Guua!”
After yelling, I stop and look behind . The ball rabbit’s ears are gripping onto my tail . Ah, I forgot that ball rabbit and Adofu are on my back . I slowly lower my tail to the ground to let the ball rabbit and Adofu get down .
“Pefu… . ”
「Are you really, going to fight?」
Yes .
In order to gain experience quickly, I have to do this . I’m doubtful of whether I even have a chance of succeeding, but I have to at least try . If I can’t at least knock him down then I have no chance against that hero (monster) .
But I have to at least buy so ti for the ball rabbit to escape once the ti cos .
“Pefu… . . ”
「But……」
…I don’t want to say it, but he’s not an opponent that I can win against . Even more so if I have to watch out for the ball rabbit . It would just cause worry when I’m fighting .
“Pefuu… . ”
It doesn’t seem like it’s entirely convinced, but it has accepted it for now .
Adofu also has the ability to defeat C rank monsters . It doesn’t seem like he’s paying much attention to the conversation though . He’s probably thinking about the coming fight . I should ask him later if he would be willing to escort the ball rabbit .
Although I know his thoughts are elsewhere, I should still ask him since he still needs to borrow my help to save his relatives . Cooperating to level up would be more efficient .
Looking at the state Afodu is in, it’s apparent that he’s fighting his own demons, and it’s a heavy battle by the looks of it . I guess that kind of thing isn’t limited to certain races .
If possible, I would like to evolve into a gentle dragon of so kind, but now… I can’t afford to be picky here… A strong and ferocious dragon will have to do right now .
Since I have acquired [[Rest]], it’s possible for to beco so kind of divine dragon along the road, but it will be impossible now .
“Since a while ago, what have you been looking for?”
Adofu who was ahead of because he was being hurried by the ball rabbit looked back at and said so .
“Pefu”
「Large centipede」
The ball rabbit who read my thoughts said to Adofu . Adofu’s mouth dropped as he stops walking . But he’s pushed along by the ball rabbit .
It is a silly reaction, but it’s understandable . If I was told yesterday that I would be fighting that “large centipede” again I would have given a similar reaction . Since Adofu is from Haranae, he should know how fearso that large centipede is .
“Guuoo!”
I kick off the ground and fly up . Spreading my wings, I open my eyes against the headwind to scan the area .
Sand, Sand and more sand in all directions .
I do see a beautiful lake in the distance . However, I won’t be fooled again .
Although we do have ball rabbit who’s capable of using [[Clean]] on the lake, he will be too exhausted to use [[Telepathy]] . There is still much to be said to Adofu so I’d rather not waste energy on sothing unnecessary for the ti being . The ball rabbit is all-purpose but there isn’t enough MP to go around .
After reaching the highest point I could, I bent my neck to look around . I could see the ground moving a little in the distance .
What is that? I’m getting a bad feeling . A giant monster the sa color as the desert sand is moving about . So it finally ca out .

This guy, doesn’t his level increase everyti I see him? There’s the possibility of it being a different one, but it slls like the sa guy . Well, even if there are many like it, I’m still in trouble .
So it was still alive after all . Seems like it escaped after I ran away .
Legs that were supposed to have been eaten are fully grown back . It’s back to its usual shape . This thing is a walking disaster, but it’s not much of a mystery why when considering its titles .
Did the large centipede notice ? It lifted its head .
Ah, our eyes t .
The large centipede opens its large mouth and rattles its teeth .
Oh, seems like it’s fairly agitated .
It’s close enough that I can hear that unpleasant “gijijijijijiji” noise it makes .
That ti where you got your head stuck in the ant hole is entirely your own fault . I did nothing wrong at all . I…you have no reason to get mad at .
I won’t be able to move freely in the air if that centipede uses its beam, so I quickly descend towards the ground and land . It was a fast landing so the sand scattered a little .
“Gua!”
I turn my head towards the direction of the large centipede and point with my chin .
The large centipede still seems to rember . I guess it holds strong grudges . Humans are its favorite dish, but it looks like I’m his top priority . If I have the ball rabbit and Adofu go in a separate direction, it’s unlikely he will chase them .
The ball rabbit nods and heads in the opposite direction while pulling Adofu with its ears .
…Will one person be enough to keep them safe? I’m getting increasingly anxious the more I watch .
Well, I should worry about myself first .
I rush in the opposite direction from where the other two are heading so that the large centipede will follow after .
Since there’s a big hill up ahead, I could hide there if there’s enough distance between us . If it can’t pinpoint my location then it can’t hit with its heat ray . I don’t actually have to watch from this far, but the range on that beam is strange . If that centipede could fly then I’m sure it would be possible for its ray to hit a target as far as one kiloter away .
