Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2404: Hidden floor (26)

That was the conclusion that I made after scanning it with my divine energy.

There were no traces of divine energy coming from this rock creature, so I knew that it wouldn’t be a problem for me to use my divine energy.

There wasn’t even a single trace of mana that came from this thing.

Whatever this creature was, it relied purely on physical power to accomplish whatever it wanted to accomplish. Not to mention that there were those sharp tips at the end of its limbs.

Even now, it seemed like it had skewered a bunch of worms and was bringing it back to its colony.

So at the very least, I had confirmed that these rock creatures fed on the worms.

As for how they actually did that, I had no idea at all.

Other than the worms, it seemed like this rock creature was also dragging a bunch of other stuff back with it. All of them seemed like strange creatures that I had never seen before, but I could tell that they were living creatures since they were still moving.

What was wrapped around it seemed to be this loop of rocks that came from the body of the rock creature.

It seemed like the rock creature was able to control the rocks that made up its body and use them in different ways. Either as a skewer that could stab things or even a rope that could drag things around.

The other thing to note about this rock creature was its speed.

Each step that the rock creature took was heavy enough that it left an imprint on the ground. But even with this size and weight, it seemed to be slow at all.

In fact, there was this kind of light feeling that was in each of the steps of this rock creature.

Looking closely at it, I wasn’t able to figure out just what it was about this rock creature that gave it such light steps. But because of the light steps that it possessed, it was able to move quite quickly.

At the same time, it was quite tall to begin with and its legs were long. So it was able to move large distances in single steps with how wide its steps were.

If it wasn’t for the fact that I was using my powers to move, then it might have been hard to follow with just my human body.

This was the difference between this rock creature and humans.

With the rock creature guiding the way, it didn’t take long for me to find others that were similar to this rock creature.

But even if they were from the same race, it didn’t seem like they cared about each other at all with how they just kept moving forward without saying a single thing. It was almost as if they didn’t see each other with how silent they were.

Though that was impossible since they were moving side by side.

It didn’t take long for more similar rock creatures to appear and the same thing happened where all of them ignored each other. It was as if the only thing that they cared about was their jobs.

After all, it wasn’t just the first rock creature that was carrying things.

All of the other rock creatures that I saw were doing the same thing where they were dragging things behind them.

Not all of them had the same things, but it was clear that they were dragging back prey with how the things that they tied up were moving. All of these were without a doubt living creatures that they would feed on later.

Though it really was amazing just how many there were.

It was one at first, but then it was ten and even over a hundred of these rock creatures that were moving in the same direction.

None of them seemed to acknowledge each other as they all moved in a single direction.

From the way that they were moving, it really seemed like they were all headed to the same place.

But if that was the case, then it was hard to imagine how many of these rock creatures there were. After all, this was a large amount of supplies that had been gathered and were being brought back.

If there were a lot of them, this really might be harder than I thought to deal with them.

After following the rock creatures for a bit longer, the answer was laid out in front of me.

It was just that the moment this answer appeared in front of me, I couldn’t help being a bit dazed by what I saw. This was just too much of a scene that it was inevitable that I would feel this way.

A city made of rock, that was what appeared in front of me.

From a distance, I could see that there were many of the same rock creatures that were moving through the city. Just from an estimate, it was already hard to guess just how many of them were there.

But there was no doubt that there were a bunch of them that were in this place.

At the same time, I could feel a powerful aura coming from certain parts of the city.

Since this was the dungeon, those powerful auras should represent the area bosses of this room. It was just that if I wanted to take down those area bosses, there was no doubt that there would be others that would get in the way.

So even if I wanted to fight them, there was no doubt that there would be a lot of interference.

I hadn’t fought a single one of these rock creatures yet, so it wasn’t as if I had an idea of how strong they were.

But I certainly didn’t want to take a risk by fighting a bunch of them at the same time.

"For now, all I can do is observe and see if I can get them alone."
