Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2405: Hidden floor (27)

These rock creatures continued moving towards the city until they stopped at a checkpoint outside of the city.

This was a proper city that had walls and everything, so naturally there was a checkpoint outside the city as well.

It seemed that even in a different world, they still developed similar looking structures to protect themselves.

Once they stopped in this square, all of them suddenly tossed the items that they had brought back in front of themselves. They had even lined up inside of this square, as if they were waiting for some kind of inspection.

But I was surprised to find that it wasn’t just the group that I came with that were lining up here.

There were several other groups that were filled with hundreds of these rock creatures that were all lining up in this square. None of them seemed to question anything as they all lined up without any hesitation.

This was a response that had been drilled into them after repeating it for a long time.

It was clear that this wasn’t the first time that they were doing this.

After a while, when there were around a thousand or so of these rock creatures that were gathered, that was when those from the gates finally made a move. The guards that were there came out from their posts, but they didn’t move towards the rock creatures.

These guards were also rock creatures, but there was something different about them.

It was only a small difference, but it was one that was quite clear.

"So they’re a deeper colour? Does that mean they’re stronger?"

At this point, even a fool would be able to see that the ones that I had been following were nothing more than hunters and gatherers. They were the weaker ones that were sent out to collect food for the others.

The guards that were at this gate were without a doubt a higher level than these ones that I had been following the entire time.

Though how much of a difference there was, it was hard for me to tell since they didn’t put any pressure on me. They still felt like normal mobs of this dungeon to me, so it wasn’t as if I could feel any threat from them.

But these guards weren’t here to inspect the hunters.

Rather, they came forward to form a line with their bodies as if they were waiting for someone to come out.

It was only after these guards formed this procession that there was a much larger rock creature that came out of the guard post.

The moment that this larger rock creature came out, I could feel the pressure that came from it.

This one was clearly the leader of the guards and it was also one of the higher level species of their race.

From what I had seen so far, it was clear that these rock creatures lived in a class based society.

The ones that I had been following belonged to the lower class.

The guards that came out to form the line were of the middle class.

As for this leader of the guards, it was clear that this one was of the higher class.

No matter how one looked at the leader, they could clearly see that this one was someone from the ruling class.

After all, this leader towered above the other rock creatures that were gathered in this place.

Once the leader came out, it looked at the hunters that were gathered here before going forward to inspect the catch that they brought.

It didn’t seem like the leader really cared about the catch that came from the hunters until all of a sudden it stopped and looked at one of the hunters.

That hunter that was being looked at lowered not just its head, but its entire self as if it was trying to make itself look as small as possible.

But then all of a sudden, the leader raised a hand and stabbed at the hunter.

The hunter didn’t dare move out of the way, it could only take this stab from the leader.

When the leader pulled its hand out, there was this worm that was stuck to the end of its sharp hand. It raised the worm up to its face to look at it before showing it to the hunter that was in front of it.

Even though the leader held the worm up like this, it wasn’t as if the hunter dared to look at it. The hunter just continued keeping its head down as if it was refusing to take responsibility for this.

Though there were no words, it wasn’t as if I couldn’t see what was happening.

For whatever reason, this hunter had tried to keep this worm for itself.

It was most likely something to do with its family with the way that the hunter was acting.

I couldn’t help shaking my head when I saw this, but it wasn’t as if I was planning on interfering.

The one thing that I did learn was that the class system of this world really was quite strict where the lower class just didn’t dare act up towards the upper class at all.

But then I couldn’t help feeling that there was something strange.

It was something that I hadn’t noticed before since I never really paid attention to it, but it was hard to ignore once I heard it.

There was this faint sound that seemed to be coming from the leader, but it also didn’t seem like a sound at all. It was like some kind of vibration that was coming from the leader.

"Is this the way that they talk to each other? Why am I only sensing it now?"

As I looked at the leader, I slowly came to a conclusion.

It was because the leader was ’yelling’ at the hunter, which was why the vibrations were much stronger than it normally was.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sensed them.
