[CH598+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 795

"Hey Xaden, do you really think it's even out here? Maybe the bounty monster just left for the swamplands or something."

"No way, Togi! Boss is never wrong! He said he smelled it! It's out here, we just have to keep looking!"

Two voices chat back and forth, with slow and almost goofy-sounding mannerisms. But a rougher and more focused voice cuts through their lazy words.

"Shut up. I can hear you. We're certainly not going to find it with you two making all this noise..."

This, and four sets of footsteps coming toward us, is what I hear.

Ava has sensed them for quite a while but didn't think they were a threat, sending me a telepathic message now once she sees my eyes perk up.

"Three 3rd Class Lords, and one 5th Class. Nothing special, but I guess they are the first intelligent life we've found out here."

"Right, maybe they know how far away the safe zone is."

We walk forward in silence as the party of adventurers appears in my vision through the thick trees about half a minute later.

Three pairs of three crowns hovering above heads hit my vision first.

Two of the Lords have one of their crowns full, while the taller and larger one behind them has two out of three in bright white.

Without even making out their races, I can tell that the one in the back has had a physical ranked-up transformation like Ava, meaning it's most likely over level 10,000. It even has a True Core in its chest, while the other two do not.

The corners of my lips curl up once they notice we're here too, and their leader yells out in a loud and commanding voice.

"This is the Eden Forest! You're trespassing on my hunting ground. Kneel or die!"

I roll my eyes and keep walking forward at a steady pace, getting a good view of what this hunting party really looks like.

They're wolfmen.

Extremely strong and vicious-looking, actually.

I've fought some werewolf creatures as mutants from wolf dungeons in the past, but the sight before me makes things look so real...

They have the heads of wolves, with sharp eyes, white teeth, pointed ears, and grey-silver fur, yet their bodies are muscular like a hairy berserker.

The two smaller wolfmen that clearly follow their leader are about four meters tall—one holds a spear, and the other a massive heavy axe.

Their leader stands over seven meters tall, close to Ava's height, and has half a dozen long black blades strapped all over his body. His left eye is cut out, with an old white ether wound glowing in its place.

All of them have lightweight dark black armor covering their vitals, though their boss doesn't draw his weapon.

He stands confidently with his arms crossed and yells out again once he sees we aren't stopping.

"Come on, we have three 3rd Class, and you have one. Making things difficult here is only going to end badly for you. Empty your storage systems of their loot and kneel to say you're sorry, and I'll let you pass to the safezone..."

He shows more of his sharp white teeth, but neither of us budges again.

Though, my eyebrow does raise once I see what the fourth member of their crew looks like.

It's a 5th Class Lord, with five bright white full crowns above its head.

When I look their way, we're at eye level, as this adventurer seems to be human and slightly shorter than me.
