    <span style="font-weight:400">The next day, Keith woke up and prepared some breakfast for everyone. It was a simple egg and sausage breakfast. He sipped some coffee and decided, "We''re going to head down to the second floor."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." After finishing breakfast, the group headed down to the second floor. And when they arrived,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The grasses are so tall." They weren''t grasses; it was more like a giant yellow forest.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Stick closer to one another. We don''t want to get lost." One look and Keith could tell that one would get lost if they strayed away. From the information, getting to the third floor was simple: a straight line.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." The others stick close.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Herrick, Leona, I will leave you guys to be our ears. Tell me if there''s anything you hear off around here,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." The two beastman nodded. Like that, everyone headed into the grass. Treading, they could only hear the sounds of grass rustling around.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hold." Keith raised his hand. When he did, the rest paused.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What do you hear, Herrick, Leona?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I hear only grass rustling."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Same here."


    <span style="font-weight:400">The two could only hear the grass and nothing more. But that caused Keith to frown, "There''s definitely something here. But my mana sense could only catch a glimpse." He used mana sense to search, but it quickly moved. The target was blurred, making it unable to be perceived.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Interesting. Keith looked around but was unable to sense them either. However, he could hear it. The thing was getting closer to them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, I can hear it now. There is some grass rustling way too quickly!" Herrick''s ears continued to twitch.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can you get a read on where they are?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No, it''s going too quickly. And the grasses don''t help it either." It was too difficult to get a read on the monster''s location with so many other sounds.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Give me an estimate; I will make the move. The rest of you cover each other''s backs." Keith ced his hand on his hilt. He closed his eyes as he prepared himself.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Herrick also prepared himself as he waited, "Keith, the northeast of us!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hah!" Keith mmed his legs on the ground and dashed forward in that direction. With one stroke, he dealt with the monster!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"A serpent." Keith took a sigh, "No wonder it was so quick." It didn''t have any legs, making it able to slip through the grass.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith! There are more." Herrick warned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How many?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"5? maybe even 8." "Watch out for everything thates your way."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Everyone back to back, prepared for everything that came their way. But that was when they heard it more,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf!" Herrick blocked the serpent''s mouth. A smirk formed, "Even though they are so slippery, they are pretty weak!" With one swing, heunched the snakes flying across the floor!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re right!" Jack nodded as he sliced the snake in half. It was pretty simple to kill.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We just need to draw them in and kill them!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wait a minute, I hear a big one!" And what came out of the grass was a giant serpent!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Interesting. Attack it all at once!" The group charged at the serpent. A rain of explosions and slicing came forward.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Guys, I don''t think you should go all at once. It''s kinda overkill." Keith scratched as he watched the scene. Even he felt a little sad for the monster. He just got attacked by a couple of behemoths!


    <span style="font-weight:400">It never expected something like that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Come on, Keith. There''s really nothing here. And it had been quite the ghost town." Herrick waved. Besides the sneakiness they had, it was simple to deal with.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"…" True. That was what made it a little surprising. There weren''t any monsters here who could deal with them. Those snakes might try to be sneaky, but they did not expect the group to have so many sensory people here.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But this feels so weird. Keith scratched his head. Even if they were strong students, defeating B-rank monsters left and right didn''t seem right. It was a little overkill.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''re collecting!" Scarletmented. It was time to collect all of them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm, there''s also something here," Alfia called out. Besides the giant grass blocking their way, there was also something smaller in the ground. It was a brown branch sticking from the ground.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ohh! New herb!" That brightened up his day!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"By the way, Keith. Should we summon them?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Keith blinked and then nodded, "We can call them in. This would be perfect."
