Lenny stood to his feet, and then he stretched to the sky. Even though he had just finished two different kinds of battles, he had never felt more alive.
As one would expect, the system had long ago started healing him.
With the life essence that he had absorbed, it was a quick fix for him.
Although his body was still stained with dry blood, he was without any wounds.
"Thank you for your sacrifice!" He thanked the destroyed mess of the woman he had just had, and then he turned to leave.
Single-handedly, Lenny had cleared out this entire nest of the valuables that it used to have.
As he left their now-deadly silent camp, he suddenly heard a head sound behind a rock.
He checked and was surprised to see it was a woman.
She was one of the villagers that had been brought to this place, gifted by old man Buckle, to serve the gladiators for the week.
She was the one who was cooking for the gladiators when they started their orgy.
In fact, she was the first person they started with.
However, when Lenny stormed the camp, he killed the gladiator who was on top of her first.
In her fear, she ran and hid behind this rock.
There were three of them. Lenny had used one of them as bait to kill the big gladiator that was a high level, and then there was the second one that he had mounted to ease the tension conversion of points.
All together, two of them were dead. Only this one survived.
"You are lucky!" Lenny commented as he gave her a hand. Although she was afraid, she still took his hand.
He took her to where Bugger and Buckler's daughter were waiting for him.
The sight of him was unbelievable.
Also, Bugger could sense that Lenny's strength had significantly increased since the last time.
Bugger looked at the woman who followed Lenny. Immediately the woman saw the familiar face, and he jumped into an embrace with her and what was possibly one of her mothers or maybe an aunt.
Truthfully, Lenny could really not care. After all, that entire village was the most incestuous place he had ever seen in his life.
Everybody did everything to make everybody happy.
He really could not be bothered with who was who's mother or the like.
"Let's go!" Bugger advised.
Lenny nodded in agreement, and the four of them took the same route back to the village.
However, as they moved, there was suddenly a loud rumbling, and following Bugger's experience of these caves, they had to hide in a hole in the wall.
"What happened?" Lenny asked.
Of course he could feel the vibrations coming from the earth, but as far as Lenny was concerned, it might have well been an earthquake.
After all, the shaking was significant.
However, Bugger's explanation made him frown.
"It's the Horde!"
"The horde!?" Lenny asked, inquiring for more information.
"The horde. That's what my father calls it. It has not happened for a long time now, but it does happen whenever the queen feels threatened or very hungry."
Lenny nodded in understanding.
All four of them had hidden in a large hole on one of the cave's walls.
The hole was closed with a big rock. It was difficult to move, but the zeal for survival was always a strong motivating factor.
Through a small peeping hole by the side of the huge stone that was used to hide themselves, Lenny saw what was happening outside.
He frowned at this.
He had explored what he thought was a good reach of this cilony, and yet, there were insects he was seeing amongst this horde that he had never seen at all.
In fact, some of them even flew in the air like wasps, and some others almost reminded him of horses.
However, it was indeed a terrible mixture of creatures.
Just then, he noticed a particular person on the back of one of the insects.
Although to say this was a person would be a far stretch, this chimera ant had human-like features.
It was almost like a better variation of the trash that he had seen in the village.
This human-like Chimera ant had the torso of a person but the lower part of a wasp, and yet it had human legs.
It had antennas on its head, and if Lenny was not mistaken, he could have sworn that this thing was giving orders to the horde.
All he saw in this creature was the creature's race and name. And then he saw this...
This meant that this thing was far too strong for him to handle.
Just then, the human-like creature looked his way.
Lenny had a very quick reflex, and he had hidden in time.
However, the creature's human-like face frowned, and it directed the giant wasp it was flying on towards their hiding place.
Steadily, it got closer, and even Lenny could tell that this was not going to end well.
After all, he had used a surveyor.
But just as it would reach it, the antenna on its head suddenly turned in the direction the horde was moving.
There was the sudden scream of a man in that direction.
The human-like chimera ant gave what should have been a smile, but it looked like the forbiddance of a horror movie coming into reality.
It immediately flew in that direction.
After it left, it took another twelve minutes before the horde had fully left the place.
Lenny and the others waited until the last crawling insect had passed.
There were thousands of these giant creatures.
Even for Lenny, it was not an appreciable sight.
After they were gone, they opened the exit and came out.
"We cannot go back the same way. It will be filled with insects. We have to follow a longer, safer route." Bugger advised. Lenny nodded to his suggestion.
"We also have to hide our scent."
Before Lenny could even ask about this, he saw the two women reach for some of the glowing moss on the wall.
This moss was carefully selected. They rubbed it all over their bodies.
Bugger also joined them.
Naturally, Lenny joined them.
Lenny had to squeeze and rub a lot more on his body because of the smell of blood on him.
After they were done, Bugger led them through a longer route.
Even though this route was meant to be safer, they still encountered another four chimera ants that were patrolling the area.
All of which Lenny had never seen before.
Fortunately, this place was Bugger's home, and he was most familiar with these creatures.
With the combined effort of the both of them, they killed the chimera ants.
Lenny used this time to ask some questions about the colony and even the creatures they just killed.
Most of those questions were answered by Bugger. Like the parts of the chimera ants that were edible, and if the ants they had just killed were edible.
Seeing that they were, Lenny kept the parts of them that were edible in his storage.
For the most part, it was the hearts.
He learned that regardless of tastes, the hearts of these creatures were their center and far more valuable than any of their other parts.
Also, the effects on humans differed.
These were things Lenny already guessed, but getting confirmation helped a lot.
Along the way, he learned more about the colony, insects that even Bugger would stay away from, and places to get fresh water to drink.
Lenny took note of all these.
After all, to quench his thirst, he had been drinking the fluids from the bodies of the insects all this time.
However, any time he asked questions about the human-looking insects, Bugger would go zipped on the subject matter.
In this manner, they continued on their journey until they reached the village in another four hours.
This was many times longer than when they left.
The moment they got to the village, the villagers rejoiced at their return.
Old Buckle continuously thanked Lenny for his hard work. And he even invited Lenny over for a meal.
Although the villagers were happy for the arrival of their old grandma, they were sad when they heard that two of their women had died.
Lenny noticed that the old man Buckle did not seem to be moved by this.
With how old man Buckle had insisted that Lenny save this old woman, Lenny thought that this man had some form of 'parental loving bond'. But he did not seem to care.
Regardless, it was a small celebration, and old man Buckle served Lenny a bowl of food.
Lenny was about to put the food in his mouth. However, he paused. On the system, he could still see that the Hidden quest about the Village of gladiators was still valid.
Lenny smiled, and then he ate the food.
On the first bite, he fell on his side.
The old man stood over him with a smile on his face.
