Afterward, Mo Li picked Rimuru up in his arms.
"Alright, stop being angry. Business comes first. Let's go take a look as soon as possible."
Mo Li suggested to Rimuru.
Rimuru also knew when to make a fuss and when not to. Right now, their top priority was checking on those humans.
"Got it. Then let's set out."
"Ran-ga."
Mo Li called out toward the distance.
Ran-ga then emerged from the shadows inside a tent.
"Lord Morax, Lord Rimuru."
"Take us to the area where today's patrol went hunting."
Mo Li ordered Ran-ga.
"Yes, Lord Morax."
Mo Li then sat on Ran-ga's back while holding Rimuru and headed toward Elaine's group of three—no, group of four.
Meanwhile, Shizue's side had fallen into a crisis.
"Run!"
The thief Bal shouted as he ran.
Six or seven huge red ants suddenly appeared behind Bal.
The moment the others saw them, they could not be bothered to say anything. They turned and ran.
"Damn it, Bal! Where did you provoke this bunch of monsters?"
Elaine said furiously.
"Didn't I see a giant red ant? I figured I'd kill a monster, so I took it down. But who knew it was just a juvenile ant? Now its parents are chasing us!"
Bal looked like he was about to cry. What kind of juvenile ant was as tall as an adult?
"You idiot, Bal! If you want to die, go die by yourself! Don't drag us down with you! That was their child, and you chopped it up! If that isn't courting death, what is? These ants are famously social monsters!"
Elaine said furiously.
"I didn't do it on purpose!"
Bal awkwardly laughed as he ran and scratched his head.
"Bal, if I die here, I won't let you off even as a ghost!"
