Chapter 1145: Surprised or not
Five kilometers to the east of the palace were ancient ruins with three hundred years of history.
These ruins were full of ruined buildings, but due to the fact that this place looked very unusual, it eventually became one of the attractions of East Goruto.
These ruins were built by a certain hunter. They weren't anything special, but the intersecting tunnels beneath these ruins looked rather mysterious, and they were also perfect for dealing with the summer heat..
At the moment, such an unusual place was surprisingly deserted. Because of the chimera ants, ordinary tourists wouldn't risk their lives and go to such a place, unless of course they were mentally ill.
*Boom*
A deep muffled sound came from the ground.
Several men and women were running at great speed through the intersecting underground tunnels.
— Wao, where is that cat? Specific location!
— About four hundred meters behind us.
— Doudou, can you teleport us?
— I can't survive. My body is on edge. Four teleports in a row have completely drained me, if I teleport again soon, I will definitely die.
— Disgusting.
— The cat is catching up.
— She's making fun of us. All cats have this habit.
— But why? The palace was already in chaos, what's the big deal if we plundered their treasury?
Men and women were running through the tunnels at high speed. The leader of the group, a blonde-haired woman, was holding a metal box in her hands. It was encrusted with precious stones, and it was issued to her for completing a special mission.
Only, as long as there were enemies on their tail, she couldn't put this box in her inventory.
— What should we do? Should I give it up?
— Don't be ridiculous, how many missions have we completed to get this box? Once we return to Paradise, the contents of this box will be ours, and not to mention how many coins we can sell the contents of this box for, the soul crystals alone will be enough for us to live happily for a couple of months.
— Our lives are more important than our treasures!
The leader of this group was named Vanessa. She is the leader of a small group that only had 6 people in it, not counting her. They decided to abandon the main mission due to the fact that the Ant King's heart was too difficult to obtain.
This small group in the previous world received a final grade of " A+", which made them all immune to the penalty for failing one task.
This was the strength of such factions.
With such a good help, they could literally hit the jackpot without risking anything, and if they managed to implement their plans, the reward would more than pay for all the costs..
*Boom!*
The tunnel behind Vanessa and her group shattered, and a girl with white hair and cat ears immediately rushed towards the group.
Normally, a girl with such features and a good appearance would cause everyone to feel cute, but unfortunately, Neferpitu's appearance wasn't cute.
Her fingers were sharp, her leg muscles were taut, and her round eyes were filled with murderous intent.
— I found you, meow~, " Pitou said, and tossed her slender tail.
Neferpitu was one of the three guardians who reported directly to the Ant King. Her hobby was exploring other creatures ' structures or chasing prey, which was exactly what she was doing right now.
And Pitou didn't care about her appearance or figure. Although her upper body didn't look bad, her two thick legs ruined her beautiful appearance.
From Pitou's point of view, as long as she was strong enough, whether she was beautiful or not didn't matter at all.
— The end, " the man muttered, and took a few steps back.
They dared to enter the palace because there was a spatial skill holder in their group, and it was precisely because of this skill that they decided to take the risk.
However, their appearance could not escape Pitou's attention. At first, they thought that Pitou wouldn't leave the palace, because after all, the palace was in complete chaos, but neither the Ant King nor Pitou saw anyone strong, so she decided to chase after them in the end.
— Nefer… Pitu, um, the Ant King is in danger. We can pass on very important information in exchange for our lives. As for this box, we are also ready to return it.
— Is the King in danger? The smile faded from Pitou's face. She wouldn't overlook anything that might threaten her King, even if it was a very minor threat.
— Yes, Isaac, the chairman of the Hunter Association, is about to arrive at the palace. He is the strongest man and he will defeat the Ant King...
— What's the joke? A human can never harm the King, " and a very aggressive and violent purple energy immediately burst out of Pitou's body. "However... Anything that might threaten the King should not be taken lightly. Tell me what you know." If I hear some really important information, I can let you go. As for what you stole, if the information turns out to be important enough, you can keep it for yourself.
Pete's offer was very tempting. She didn't take anything that could threaten the Ant King lightly. As for her letting these people go, it was just a common deception. Once she heard everything they had to say, she would kill all but one and extract all the useful information from him with her skill.
The contractors obviously understood this, and they were just trying to buy some time to activate the skill. Once they teleported away, they would definitely be able to get away from Pitou.
— Okay, we can probably only agree to such an offer... " Vanessa replied and collected her thoughts. She understood her current situation very well. If they started fighting Pitou head-on, they would all end up dead.
Just as Vanessa was about to tell Pete about the chairman, the tunnel they were in suddenly shook.
Dust fell from the ceiling, and Vanessa and her companions looked up.
— Who is it this time?
*Boom-boom-boom!*
The tunnel looked like it was about to collapse.
Pete's eyes were fixed on the ceiling.
A few seconds after the vibrations died down, there was a loud roar.
With a crash, the ceiling shattered and a huge figure plunged down, ending up between Vanessa's group and Peeta.
A huge figure landed.
A pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the slightly dim passageway.
When Vanessa and the others saw this figure clearly, they all swallowed their saliva.
— Bull... king of bulls?
Vanessa ignored the incongruous mutterings of one of the men in her group, studying the creature that looked like a tauren closely.
This creature aroused in her not very pleasant feelings.
*Whew~*
Another figure jumped down into the tunnel, and it was surrounded by a light red aura.
When Vanessa saw this figure, she immediately realized that it was a man, no, a contractor, and a very, very strong contractor at that.
Behind Vanessa was her group and puffin, and in front now, in addition to the unknown contractor, was Pitou.
Their current situation was even more desperate.
— Hey, woman, you've got the box in your hands... It seems to be very tasty.
Hearing the huge creature's words, Vanessa dropped the metal treasure box to the floor with a groan.
She could fool Neferpita for a while, but she definitely couldn't fool this contractor.
