Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

Chapter 111 – One Heart (1)

Chapter 111 – One Heart (1)

“Are you all down?”

“Yes.”

The dwarves descended a long, long passage and finally set foot on the underground floor. This place, which was still very damp, still harbored a gloomy feeling even though its owners had all died.

“Let’s not worry too much. Even if there were any left, they would have drowned.”

Aaron reassured the dwarves who came with him. I’m sure I’ve taken care of everything, but it’s true that I’m anxious. If there was one left, the only action they could take now, without Serenian, Pia, or Ballista, was to run away.

“Let’s go.”

After all, there is nothing good about staying here for a long time, so they hurriedly moved on. It was a burrow in the ground, but there was no discomfort in moving them. This is because the monsters that dug these burrows were so large that the burrows naturally grew.

“It’s so complicated, chief. I left all the signs, but what if I get lost?”

“It can’t be, Yan. We only have to follow the biggest oysters. Who would have come up from the deepest? It must have been the biggest female.”

One of the dwarves opened his mouth in a worried voice, but Aaron chuckled and reassured his people.

Actually, what he said made a lot of sense. Among the many passages, the largest passage is the passage they are walking on. It was a passage through which none other than a female monster earthworm had penetrated, and unlike other passages scattered here and there, it continued into the deepest ground without any major changes.

“Looks like we’re almost there. More and more strange energy…”

“Wait a minute, what are you talking about?”

Just when they almost reached their destination. Something made Aaron stop his teammates in haste.

Something had come from the direction they were supposed to be heading. At the same time, they raised the tension. If it was the original plan, there shouldn’t be any signs of life here.

“How dare those spiders!”

“Chief, they are trying to take the core of the labyrinth!”

In the end, the Dwarves, who approached cautiously and confirmed the identity of the presence, shouted in surprise.

It was because they witnessed the sight of the monster spiders that they fought in the dungeon in the mountain, infiltrating this place without an owner and gathering to take the dungeon core.

“Just stop it!”

Embarrassed, Aaron decided to stop them for now. It was impossible to fight against the giant monster itself, the demon beast earthworm, but it was possible to fight ordinary demon beast spiders.

Soon, the dwarves with weapons and shields saw them and shouted at the monster spiders that were revealing their fangs. A fierce battle ensued between the two groups.

‘Why are these guys doing this?’

Aaron cut the skull of the attacking beast spider in half with the battle ax in his hand. The beast spiders desperately stopped them and struggled to somehow secure a dungeon core the size of a human head.

He couldn’t understand that. I couldn’t even imagine how these monsters would take it and where and how to use it.

“Don’t play nonsense, you bastards. It belongs to us!”

Of course, now was not the time to be arguing about such things. The dungeon core was a kind of reward and proof. That they fought desperately and finally proved their strength.

Aron, who knew how hard his comrades had suffered and how much they were killed and injured, had to be compensated for it as the person in charge.

[Beast Spider Protector]

“What is this guy?”

What appeared in front of him was a mutant monster spider. It was an unusual species that went beyond magic beastization and took a step further.

Compared to other spiders with relatively pale skin and slender legs, this mutant spider, covered in a dark black carapace, had eight freely moving legs attached to its back like wings.

“Cheuk.”

“Chief!”

This mutant swung the legs on its back to slash the axe wielded by Aaron, and then slashed his body with one blow.

Some frightened dwarves hurriedly helped him. He grunted, gnashing his teeth as he glared at the anomaly.

“I can’t lose. You must kill him.”

“But he’s too strong, and we don’t have enough strength.”

“Isn’t there something you already expected and brought? Write it down!”

Aaron urged the dwarves to use what he brought as a trump card. If a monster earthworm ever appeared, it was obvious that if you just ran away, you would be caught, so I prepared this item to pass the time.

“Throw it!”

One of the dwarves threw it into the air. Those floating in a leather bag are oil.

Those with crossbows shot and hit it, spraying oil over the heads of the spiders. The Dwarves threw torches at it without hesitation and set it on fire.

“Big.”

As the blazing flames radiated heat and light, the monster spiders, who didn’t like the fire, screamed and stumbled. Aaron gritted his teeth and glared at the anomaly on fire.

The space is so humid that this level of firepower is not enough to suffocate.

“Assault! You must bring the Labyrinth Core!”

Aaron charged with his teammates once more. In the end, the spiders that could not stand it were cut and pierced by their swords, spears, and axes, and fell one by one.

“I’m not the type to die like this. I was forced to hold on and burned to death.”

“Oh, how could it be?”

However, the dwarves were only able to achieve half of their goal.

While the mutant endured to the end and died, the beast spiders cut the dungeon core in half and ran away with at least half of it.

***

“I have no face. I couldn’t believe that the spiders would come all the way there and covet this.”

“No. I just need to get the other half back.”

In the end, Aaron brought the half dungeon core to Serenian.

Serenian was slightly surprised that the monster spiders were aiming for the dungeon core, but shook his head at his disrespectful words.

‘We are steadily moving forward.’

After receiving the core, Serenian came to the world tree with it.

The most important thing in maintaining Eden was, ironically, not the grace of heaven, but the world tree. Because there is a world tree and you can use its power, you can produce countless amounts of food in a small farmland and purify water and air.

Most of the residents are overwhelmed by the power of the spirits in the sky and think of this place as a true paradise, but in fact, this potted world is far from a paradise where everything is abundant.

Even heaven’s help could not replace the role of the World Tree. The world tree, which holds the power of life, played a big role in maintaining this world, which is an ecosystem that is unbalanced and deficient in many ways.

“Some of the residents asked if they could go outside and bring some of their livestock. I don’t think it would be possible to release them in the mountains and raise them, but would it work?”

“Please do so. You’ll just have to be careful. I will try to find all of you who have gone missing there as well.”

Aaron followed Serenian, who absorbed the dungeon core into the World Tree, and asked if he could bring livestock from outside.

Serenian pondered for a while, but he didn’t deny it. Elves rarely raised livestock, but Dwarves did not. Until now, they had more urgent matters that they hadn’t been paying attention to, but they needed livestock in their lives.

However, there were some things to be aware of in the process. The powerful people of the Dwarf Kingdom who lost some of their residents in an instant couldn’t stand still. They must be trying to track them down.

Moreover, unlike Daesoorim, where the task force was constantly scouting, there was no information about it. It was the sound of not knowing how many enemies had come.

“I will keep this in mind.”

“Don’t worry too much. Now that you are also part of Eden, we will all come together if there is a problem.”

As Aaron was nervous, she smiled. The meaning of becoming one is never light. To the extent that power is shared, the enemy also shares.

“Did you really give permission?”

“Yes, but you will have to prepare thoroughly before going. Nobody knows what has become of the place since we all moved here.”

As soon as Aaron got Serenian’s permission, she summoned some of the dwarves. These are the ones who will go out and fetch the livestock and find out the news.

He had to lead the development of the village and the fight against the monster spiders, so he couldn’t go there himself.

“Don’t worry. I will come and go silently.”

“You always believe me.”

He smiled and sent her comrades away. After making preparations, they set foot on their homeland once more toward the nest of fairy ants under the gaze of the elves.

“Obviously something is different. Eden is good, but this is…Our home.”

“There must be pros and cons. At least we can’t forget this place.”

They enjoyed the hometown air. The air completely different from the air of Eden.

“Hmm?”

However, while taking a deep breath, Dwarf Garon sensed something and frowned. It is because of the smell of the green forest, a heterogeneous acrid smell faintly mixed with the wind.
