DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

"There must be a mother ant, like an ant queen, and those crystal striders are just worker ants responsible for delivering nutrients?" Mai Sakurajima tried to explain the current phenomenon using biology.

Shadow said calmly, "No need to guess, we'll know once we go and see."

The group walked around the passage and stopped in front of a huge space.

Seated at the center of the large space is a strange, inverted funnel-shaped organ.

Its entire body is composed of green flesh, with crystals similar to those on the core of a crystal strider attached to it. Inside the green flesh, like a beating biological heart, it glows rhythmically, somewhat resembling a biological egg.

If the players who explored the Fairy Cave for the first time were here, they would definitely find the things in front of them familiar.

While Shadow and his companions remained silent, the egg-like thing writhed, and several slimy crystal tortoises emerged from it and landed on the green carpet.

"Ugh, that's disgusting." Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but take two steps back.

Kato Megumi found it quite novel, as if she were watching some kind of animal documentary.

Shadow frowned slightly...

His designated hideout didn't need such disgusting things.

He pressed the [ST] button slightly to record the information of this "mother nest". Not long after, similar information appeared on the official website forum.

[Simple Seedlings and Flowers]

• Nest-type monsters.

• It can hatch special monsters called "Crystal Striders," which are weak and have no ability to fight back.

The message that popped up on [ST] made Shadow pause for a moment.

Was there already relevant information on the forum?

That's true. Xia Jia once entered all the monsters he vaguely remembered into the forum, but the data wasn't complete, and the pictures and other information needed to be updated regularly.

"It looks like it could be destroyed very easily. What should we do?" Kato Megumi asked.

"Of course, we'll take it down," Shadow decided.

There were four simple seedlings in the hall. Shadow and Kato Megumi split up and ignored the hatching crystal striders, going straight to the "heart" of the simple seedlings.

There's no need to deal with the hatching, iridescent monsters; these nest creatures are practically easy to destroy.

The two of them completely destroyed the monster's breeding ground in just five minutes.

Kato Megumi's lips curled up almost imperceptibly: "This monster looks really powerful. Will I gain a lot of experience points?"

Shadow was also undecided. These kinds of nest monsters, such as the Blood Bee Nest, were classified as very high-level, but if the killer bees could be ignored, destroying them would be quite simple.

Therefore, Shadow really doesn't know how many experience points he will gain.

Mai Sakurajima and the other crystal tortoises gradually left the room before she slowly approached to collect her spoils.

The red crystals that fall from these seedlings seem to be the special communication material used to make [ST].

Just as Shadow was deep in thought, looking at the easily destroyed monster lair, a dozen or so combatants clad in black robes rushed out from the other side of the room.

They also saw the shadow standing on the monster's corpse, and both sides were stunned for a moment.

"Oh? A dozen or so pieces of trash that can't be brought up in a flash. I hope you can make me mention them..."

Before Shadow could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the leader of the dark faction.

After surveying the scene, he came to the conclusion that there were no crystal tortoise remains around. It was the intruders who had damaged the seedlings, and the adults had noticed the damage and come to demand an explanation!

Look, the colorful magic stone on his chest is so dazzling. No doubt, he must be a reincarnated person like Lord Olivas!

Having figured this out, he immediately knelt down on one knee to report:

"Your subordinates are incompetent and have failed to protect Miaohua. We know we deserve to die, but the situation is urgent. Please, sir, take action and help us kill the intruders!"

The shadowy figure was numb, and the weapon that had been pulled from its sheath at his waist was returned to its sheath.

What are they talking about?

You want me to kill myself?

Are you kidding me?

Kato Megumi and Sakurajima Mai sensed the strange atmosphere and slowly stood behind the shadows:

"How to deal with it?"

The shadows are silent.

His brain's CPU hadn't quite caught up yet; he just felt like he was about to play with something completely new. The script seemed to be taking shape little by little.

But the leader nervously interjected:

"Please, my lord, intervene! We are ready to offer this mutilated body to our god!"

Shadow's mind raced, and it took him a while to finally sort out his thoughts.

Do they... think of themselves as some kind of official?

interesting

A smile slowly crept onto the lips of the figure hidden beneath the cloak, and he said softly:

"lead the way."

"Excellent, sir! Please follow me!"

Kato Megumi and Sakurajima Mai exchanged a glance, not understanding what the Shadow was up to, but they could only follow.

Chapter 197 For the Glory of Our God! Boom!

In the passageway leading to the 15th floor.

Lord Shadow walked steadily forward at a leisurely pace, with Kato Megumi and Sakurajima Mai beside him. In front of them was a group of dark factions with anxious expressions.

The squad leader looked somewhat anxious, but his expression was obsequious as he said:

"Sir, could we speed things up a bit?"

Shadow paused slightly, then said coldly, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

"Don't dare."

Shadow snorted coldly and continued forward. He needed time to think about his next move and how to utilize his current identity.

As he passed the squad leader, he glanced at him and asked casually:

Who is the intruder on the 15th floor?

"She was a woman with a good figure. We couldn't see her face, but she was elusive and we couldn't lock onto her at all."

The squad leader glanced at the colorful magic stone on Shadow's chest and said cautiously:

"We few are no match for them! Sir... you see..."

Was this the work of the Night Demon Queen?

Shadow was unaware of what the Black Cat had done to provoke the Maze faction into such a fuss, but the current situation was in his favor.

He gave a curt "hmm" and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it!"

Upon hearing this, the squad leader was immediately filled with excitement.

"As expected of your lord!"

……

Following the Dark Faction squad, they arrived at a hall on the 15th floor.

The area around the hall was charred black, and several damaged culture tanks and some plant debris could be seen.

The squad leader stood still on the carpet in the center and said:

"This is the place. This is where we ambushed them before."

"now what?"

"Uh, I don't know. Her whereabouts are unpredictable. We can only follow behind her."

Shadow frowned slightly, feigning displeasure, and said:

"Isn't there any way to lure her here?"

The squad leader hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said:

"The rooms I witnessed all contained cultivation tanks for magic stones. I think she might be more interested in magic stones."

Shadow's tone hardened: "Then what are you still standing there for?"

"what?"

The underling next to the captain tugged at his sleeve:

"What you mean, sir, is to gather the magic stones from the other locations and lure the intruder here. This is called fishing!"

“But… that magic stone…” The captain hesitated and glanced at Shadow.

The shadowy figure stood with his hands behind his back, tilting his head slightly upward to look at the sky. A deep voice emanated from within his black robe:

"Go quickly!"
