Chapter 30: The Altar (3)

Following the target shown on the scroll, they walked deep into the Lost Forest.

From the waist-high weeds on the outside, compared to the trees that are twenty or thirty meters high, it looks much cleaner.

The trees here are incredibly large, each tree is at least 100 meters tall, and the trunk is thick, more than twice the size of the outside. Huge roots were uprooted from the ground, and if anyone stood under them, he would find that his whole body was not as tall as the roots.

Huge tree roots bend and intertwine each other, forming a huge web of terror.

"I'd love to take a picture of this," Ash touched the roots, "that's cool!" He exclaimed.

It was as if someone was cleaning it all the time, and the roots of the trees were very clean, and there was no moss, fallen leaves, or even dust.

"It should be a weird place. Nabe, be on your toes! Ainz looked around and said to Nabe.

"Yes, Mr. Momo!"

Ash took a step to praise the trunk, "So, go in?" ”

"Hmm." Ainz and Nabe jumped up as well.

……

"Here...... What is it? Tucker was stunned, his face full of surprise.

They stood under a wall, more precisely, a cliff made of earth.

The darkness of the forest, coupled with the fact that it was getting late, was setting the sun and the forest was almost completely dark. Tucker and Egil also came here without realizing it.

And they, a team of five adventurers, were now only two people left.

"Now that we can see other places, it means we can go out!" Tucker exclaimed, "This must be the dividing line of the Elven Forest!" ”

"Hmm......" Egil didn't speak, his throat moving, his face full of loss.

"Captain, let's go, it's getting dark when it's late!" Tucker said, tugging at Raegill's coat.

Egil looked at the shield in his hand and hung his head.

"I'm sorry, Tucker, it's all my fault......" Egil said guiltily, his head bowed, he didn't know what expression to put on him.

"What does it matter, we are adventurers, isn't it common to go through this!" Tucker laughed, "Besides, Captain, although you are a road idiot, I believe in you!" ”

"......" Egil was stunned, he raised his head, "Why...... Believe me? He asked.

"Because we're companions." Tucker said. "Let's go, the forest at night is terrifying!"

……

Deep in the Lost Forest—Unknown Altar—

"Lord Priest, the sacrifice is ready."

"Very good, when the sun shines on this gem tomorrow, we will become the overlord of the continent, and those stupid humans will kneel at our feet!"

"Oh!!"

"Lord Priest, three adventurers have been captured at the Northern Altar."

"Bringing them here, more and more human flesh and blood will make the Demon God even happier......

……

"Tucker, I'm tired of walking all day today, so let's take a rest in this cave." With a torch in his left hand and a sword in his right, Egil cautiously poked into a cave.

"Hmm." After confirming that there were no monsters in the cave, they walked inside.

The cave is not small or very large, from the outside it looks like a hole three meters high and two meters wide, but inside, the semi-circular space appears very wide, and there is some hay spread on the ground, which looks like a bed.

If you look closely, you'll see that this is clearly a monster's lair!

But the exhausted duo didn't care so much, and after setting up some simple traps and obstacles at the door, they fell into a deep sleep on the straw.

……

Ainz doesn't have to sleep.

But Ash, who is human, has to sleep.

Ainz, who couldn't resist Ash's stalking, had to accompany him to hunt monsters and catch them for dinner.

During this time, Nabe almost unleashed Tier 8 magic on 6 occasions to kill Ash. Fortunately, Ainz stopped it in time.

Ash "accidentally" unleashed Tier 10 magic to vaporize kilometers of land and trees in the forest, just to catch a rabbit that had escaped from his hands.

The rabbit's bones were gone, along with other monsters several kilometers away......

Ash was reprimanded by Ainz and said he wouldn't do it again.

And then there was no then.
