"Here...... What is it? Tucker's eyes widened as he looked at the magnificent underground structure in front of him, his mouth big enough to fit several eggs.

The other four members of the team were also shocked.

In front of them, there was a circular hollow space several miles wide, where a huge altar-like building was erected, and the sunlight shone down from above, illuminating the clearing and the altar in a dreamlike appearance.

"Is there such a place in the Elven Forest?" Egil's gaze did not linger on the altar for long, and out of the will of a good team leader, he immediately raised his shield and watched the dark woods on all sides.

With Egil's reminder, the others immediately came back to their senses, raised the weapons in their hands and held them across their chests, their minds highly concentrated.

There are such high-end buildings in such a strange forest, this place must not be so simple!

“……”

The five of them looked at each other - strange, why hadn't there been a monster to attack for so long?

Is there no ambush?

The small man on the team closed his eyes and activated his skills-

『Secret Art: Leopard's Eyes』

"Impossible, there is no trace of any living creature within a radius of two hundred meters!" He opened his eyes and said in surprise.

"Huh?" Hearing his shout, the others turned their heads to look at him.

"What's going on?"

"No monsters have been found within a radius of two hundred meters, and there may not even be one two hundred meters away!" The man was surprised and a little excited, "So, isn't this some kind of holy place?" Where there is a treasure!? ”

"That can't stay long! Let's get out of here now! Egil said solemnly.

"Shh When he heard this, he was immediately unhappy, turned his head to glare at Egil, and said word by word: "Captain, you brought us in, and now you finally see the hope of the treasure, and you say that you want to leave, what does this mean?!"

Egil froze.

"What do you mean by that?" Tucker said angrily, "If you don't want you to come with me, just don't come with me at that time, and now blame the captain, I think you ......"

"Forget it, Tucker, don't talk about it." Egil smiled wryly. He snapped his sword back into its scabbard and reached out to stop Tucker.

"Captain......" Tucker was about to say something, but swallowed the words when he saw Egil's serious expression.

"It's his choice." Egil said, then looked at the other two: "It's definitely not that simple here, I'm not going to go inside, so I'm going to leave now......"

"If you want to explore this place, I won't stop you, if you don't want to, just leave with me."

……

Meanwhile, deep in the Lost Forest—

"It's so dark in this place." Ash complained.

He followed Nabe, jumping around like a monkey.

"Nabe, leave him alone." Ainz said.

"My subordinates know, Mr. Momo." Nabe replied with a blank face.

"Oh, don't be like this, can you chat with me~" Ash cheekily approached Nabe, of course, the latter was still expressionless and ignored him.

After a few minutes, Ainz stopped.

"There's a monster fifty meters ahead." He pulled out the two swords he was carrying behind his back, "Ash, help me see if there are any other monsters around." ”

"Oh! Good!! Ash shouted, and he was jumping up and down the trunk, having fun.

『Magic Scroll: Omnidirectional Detection』

"What's going on?" Ash saw the coordinates of the monster displayed on the scroll, and was so frightened that he almost fell off the trunk of the tree.

Right where they were, the red dots representing the monsters were densely displayed, layer after layer, and the scalp was numb to see.

"What's going on??"

Ash's eyes widened as he gripped the scroll and looked incredulously at the layers of refreshed red dots.

“…… Not good! Ash was stunned for a few seconds, then jumped down from the trunk of a tree dozens of meters high and ran in the direction of Ainz.

……

"What kind of monster is this?" Ainz wondered, staring at it with fierce eyes.

A lizard the size of a hill with fist-sized eyes stared at the two uninvited guests, Ainz and Nabe.

It was covered in rock-like spikes, and the spikes were covered with green moss, and the whole monster looked exactly like a hill from a distance.

After a few seconds, the lizard seemed to recognize Ainz as an intruder, let out a high-pitched howl, and rushed towards Ainz.

……

"Well, then let's have fun with you." Ainz swung his greatsword and smiled.

Although I couldn't see the expression under his mask.
