"Keke, ke."
I asked the giant centipede things I couldn't ask earlier because the conversation with the monkeys ended too quickly.
There was a complex drawing on the dirt ground in front of .
Since doodling has been my hobby since my human days, it should be quite easy to recognize.
I drew a snake with a unique appearance.
This is not , but a snake described in Deshnan's journal.
The small snake drawn next to it is .
I alternately pointed at the small snake and the big snake.
And then alternately pointed at the centipede triplets and Mrs. Giant Centipede.
'This snake is my father. Have you seen him by any chance?'
"As if she'd understand."
And the giant centipede understood.
"She understood this!"
The centipede suddenly curled up her body. And sohow she seed scared, clanking her poison claws.
She stared at intently, then nodded.
She looked towards the east where the sun rises.
There was a rocky area that looked treacherous even at a glance.
'Is he there?'
The giant centipede nodded again.
I felt excitent like sparks flying in my head.
I've finally found my father's whereabouts.
My mother was an evil dusa Serpent who turned disobedient children into blood pancakes, but my father is different.
Yes, my father wasn't a dusa Serpent.
When I realized this fact, which might be obvious, it was quite shocking.
The reason they are called 'dusa' is because of the nurous thread snakes attached like hair.
But if you think about it, all those thread snakes are directly laid children. They also have a female face.
Naturally, only female dusa Serpents exist.
My biological father was a serpent, but not a dusa Serpent.
It was a much cooler na.
The reason I want to et my father was also because of that special species na.
"It was an individual I had never seen before, a unique species."
Pelerian explained so.
A monster that has deviated from the normal monster evolution tree, a unique species.
It ans a species that has evolved and been reborn as a completely new species, not just a rare breed.
"Don't expect too much. Not all unique species are powerful and superior."
Anyway, I want to at least take a look.
I have a special skill called Billy's Horn.
According to Deshnan's records, my father, being a special monster, should have a special skill.
If I'm lucky, I might be able to borrow it.
I was about to say goodbye to the bug army and leave.
"What's that. It's creepy."
Bugs were crawling out from the swamp area.
Is this so kind of welco party for the giant centipede and her group who finished fighting?
I sensed sothing odd.
'They're all spiders.'
The bugs were small in shape and size, but they were all spiders.
Especially the big spider leading them.
It had sothing like a human face attached to its belly.

[Demon Face Tarantula lv63]

...That one looks dangerous.
It seed like I made eye contact with the face attached to its belly.
"Kekekkek!"
The giant centipede made a threatening sound and pushed .
It seed to be telling to leave quickly.
"Saak!"
I called Spot and quickly mounted him.
And I set off towards the rocky area.
"Woof!"
Spot started running, barking refreshingly.
We ran fast and got away from the bug army.
At that mont, I glanced back.
The giant centipede and the face spider were facing each other, having a staredown.
The atmosphere is ominous, as if they don't get along.
Oh, it's looking at again.
The face attached to the body of the face spider seems to be looking at .
It's an unpleasant face.
It's grinning with a grotesque smile, but its eyeballs are clearly directed at .
I've never had a good relationship with spiders.
I shook off that gaze and ran hard with Spot.
It was when we were about to enter the rocky area that I noticed sothing strange.
"There are many spiders around."
Pelerian warned.
The rocky area is not a suitable environnt for spiders to live.
Sharp rocks are protruding everywhere.
Yet, spiders the size of fists were hovering around .
Although damp moss grows between the rocks, it's not a place where so many spiders can live.
It's been a long ti since we've gone far enough not to see the centipede and the face spider.
'This isn't a coincidence, is it?'
"How does it look to you?"
'They couldn't have followed us from the swamp area.'
The spiders hovered around, watching from about ten steps away from .
While being wary of them, I searched for my father, but there were no snakes in the vast rocky area except .
A serpent of that size couldn't go unnoticed.
"Instead of looking for your father, we should find a hiding place first."
It got dark.
When I tried to run away riding Spot, even Spot couldn't gain proper speed in the rocky area.
Moreover, the spiders blocked the route and slowly tightened their encirclent.
At so point, spiders as big as wild dogs appeared.

[Poison Long-legged Spider lv17]

These are guys who wouldn't dare to pounce on one-on-one.
But they started to slowly approach, sticking to the rocks.
Eight eyeballs per spider.
Hundreds of red eyes float in the darkness.
All those eyes are looking at .
It's like they're driving prey for a hunt.
They're underestimating .
"Kyaeng!"
That's when Spot scread.
A fist-sized spider had jumped in to bite Spot.
I quickly leaped and caught the spider in my mouth.
When I crunched and chewed it up for revenge, Spot growled and watched the surroundings.
"It's dangerous."
It's quite dangerous.
I had a suspicion that this might be the doing of the face spider I made eye contact with.
Could it be that it noticed I took the orangutan's fruit?
There's nothing I can figure out by racking my brains.
Then I have no choice but to show my skills.
Ullullullu. No, Ouroboros should have co himself if he wanted to do sothing to .
I drew my sword.
And I started to create water splashes while spewing fire from my mouth.
Of course, I also started shaking the ground through earth magic.
The goblins of Lunga trembled at this sight.
Rumble-
The effect was excellent.
The spiders approaching started to retreat hesitantly.
Rumble rumble-
Was the basic elental magic this powerful?
It's almost like an earthquake.
At that mont, sothing blocked the moonlight and cast a shadow.
A huge shadow covered and grew rapidly, even covering the spiders.
Only then.
I realized there was soone behind .
Didn't you run away because of ?
I looked back.
Ah.
I wondered where you were hiding.
Were you sleeping under the rocks from the beginning?
The repetition of red light, green light that the spiders and I played might have been on the body of a sleeping snake.
That's how huge that snake was.
Thud, boom.
The rocks covering the snake's body fell, making a thunderous sound.
He appeared.
A thrill ran through .
His scales were the sa white as mine.
No, is it the color of starlight?
The serpent with stars in its scales looked down at with two eyes like the North Star.
I carefully tried to address him.
'...Dad?'
Or father.
Our eyes t.
