My Dragon System

Chapter 61:Dangerous bugs

After the group leaders were decided, Lancy called them over and handed them a small wooden object. It was about the same size as a pen with a small crystal attached to the top.

"Please keep this on you at all times, if your group are in any trouble or are facing any danger blow on the wooden pipe. This is a magic whistle that is linked to a device I hold. once the whistle has been blown, I will come to help you as soon as possible."

There were eight groups in total with eight members. Everyone checked one last time that they had everything they needed and began to enter the forest. We were given a total of five hours to hunt. Then we were to come back and meet Lancy at the entrance of the forest.

As our group was entering the forest Lancy looked over in my direction and said, "Remember, anything can get you in the forest."

As his head turned away I managed to catch a slight smile.

I could feel the intent behind the words, they weren't words of caution but a threat.

Our group began to move into the forest leaving tracks behind to know what ground we had covered. We were taught as first-years how to mark your way and not get lost. As we passed trees we would leave a unique mark for our group.

"I hate that Lancy guy," Monk said.

Martha went to rub Monk's head.

"Don't worry about him too much, we need to focus on the goal. Do you know what they call this forest?"

Monk shook his head.

"It's known as insect forest."

"I hate bug's" Kyle started to scratch himself as if something was crawling on his body.

Dan started to chuckle.

"Oh please, as if any insect could hurt us."

Just as Dan had spoken those words, a giant ladybug the size of a football came out from behind a tree.

Slyvia drew her sword and shouted.

"Everyone ready for battle, insects might be weak but they fight in groups!"

Suddenly, around twenty ladybugs had come from behind the trees. Martha was the quickest to react shooting down one of them with an arrow, the arrow went straight through its body nailing it to a tree. The rest of the ladybugs quickly swarmed towards us.

The group was dealing with the ladybugs well. Ian had joined the axe club in the end. At looking at him now it suited him. In each hand he held an axe, as a ladybug came towards him he attacked making an x shape with the two axes, completely slicing the ladybug apart.

Dan was using his spear, with every stab the ladybug would simply fly and avoid it, Dan got frustrated and ended up just chucking it at the ladybug quickly ending its life.

Monk was nowhere to be seen, I couldn't tell where he went, he had improved his footwork once again but this was a good sign. If I couldn't tell where Monk was, then the ladybugs definitely couldn't.

Kyle was acting like a madman, cursing at the bugs family as he attacked as if it could understand him.

"I can't believe your mum made such a creepy thing like you."

Slyvia was calm and focused, she didn't let the ladybug get a scratch on her, defending with the shield when it would come forward and striking back with her sword. She would often look back at the group checking if we were okay.

Gary strangely was the worst out of everyone, he was sloppy and kept misjudging where the ladybug would move. Eventually, he had defeated one but he was panting and out of breath.

Everyone had finished dealing with the ladybugs that came towards them apart from me. Quickly three ladybugs had surrounded me from all sides, I had yet to draw my sword.

"What are you doing Ray, take out your sword," Slyvia shouted.

The reason I hadn't taken my sword out yet was because I wanted to test myself. While observing everyone I had gathered my Ki, I moved my Ki to my fingertips and started activating my cells, they were now as hard as iron.

One of the ladybugs came forward, I swiped at it with making my hand into a claw shape. The ladybug split into five separate pieces. The other ladybugs started to move away as if they knew they stood no chance. I quickly got up and clawed at each of them while their backs were turned.

Monk had suddenly appeared from behind one of the trees with a dead ladybug in his hand.

"Wow Ray, was that Ki? you already know how to use it so well."

"It looks like I wasn't the only one practising."

Monk's face turned a little red.

After the group was finished dealing with the bugs we quickly went to extract the crystals. Everyone had agreed that if you got the last hit that killed the beast, then that meant you were free to get the crystal. This rule was put in place to also help deal with any future problems.

I was lucky and the system had given me two crystals meaning I only needed to retrieve one from the ladybugs. The problem was I didn't know which one would still have a crystal inside so I had to carve all three of them anyway. It was good this way because the group wouldn't get suspicious.

We continued to go through the forest and encountered many more bugs, such as beetles, butterflies and many more the only difference where they were all about 100 times bigger than regular bugs. They also always attacked in groups but it was fairly easy for most of us.

We were currently in a battle with a group of velvet red ants. The Ants were mainly black with a red velvet pattern on its body. The ants were the hardest Beasts we had faced so far in the forest. Their strength was far greater than the other insects but still fairly easy to handle.

I had just finished defeating three Ants when I heard a scream come from behind me.

"Ahhhhh!"

Gary's arm was currently being chomped on by an ant.
