Chapter 114: The Hero Group

Thinking on how to approach this situation, I end up deciding just to call them here in front of me and then learning about them by just talking to them directly. After that, then we can decide whats the best way to move forward.

Before I send out the call, I remember Gong letting me know that those three have names now.

Their names are: Ru Ning the roach; Tai Ye, the spider; and Dana, the red blob.

Both the Roach and the Spider had their names chosen by Gong, while the red blob chose their name themselves. She seemed to mutter that the joke doesnt work the same, since she messed it all up. Dana starkly refused any other names than that, though.

Now knowing their names, I finally make the call to reach out to them.

And so, I requested those three to exclusively to come to me.

I can practically feel the air shiver with anticipation, as almost all the ambient noise that I have grown used to from the spiders goes silent.

Almost immediately after, I can feel scurrying of pedipalps across the connection. A flurry of excited feelings, coming from the spider, Tai Ye.

Theyll be arriving soon.

Ru Ning is quite a distance away, so it will take a while to get here.

Dana, on the other hand, is all over the place.

Literally.

It seems she is doing something similar to what Gong is doing with her spiders, in terms of intelligence gathering/surveillance.

Except, Dana is doing it on the microbiological scale. If Im reading my scan correctly, each individual part of her can see and move independently. She can also move them as such, with no issue. Making her both the eyes and ears for their group.

Additionally, she is a scarily powerful weapon since she can literally burst people apart. She apparently learned that you cant do that to everyone, such as cultivators. Since at the higher levels, their bodies are too strong. In addition, if the cultivator is skilled and calm, they can force her out with Qi. A disadvantage that the spiders and other small creatures dont have.

Generally, though, she seems to prefer to keep to her role as informant and support. She really doesnt like going into people.

With my thoughts going down that path, I just notice that Tai Ye has gotten within the range of my scan.

Strangely, both Tai Ye and Ru Ning Go silent in anticipation.

Staring at her intently.

This builds up my expectations, which are deflated when the mental equivalent of a one word Hi comes through.

The other two feel absolutely floored and confused.

Taking a look at Dana, it just feels like she is nervous and quiet. I decide to leave it alone and let her be who she is.

So ultimately, I explained the same thing to her and just let them know to be careful and keep an eye out, in case I need them.

They seem excited for it and say they will prepare for that day.

And with that, they head off to do their thing and Im heading off to do other items. Most of which is just making sure everything will run smoothly without me here. the day seems to pass quickly,

as I head over to my bed later that night.

The anticipation is getting to me, as I lay awake in the bed.

Laying there, I consider all the things that have gotten me here. Going through the market area. Meeting the girls. And discovering a lot more about how this world works, and what my place in it might be.

My mind turns to demi humans on the other side of these caverns. Of how far Id be willing to go to make sure that people, like Gong, would have the ability to live a normal life.

I really dont know.

I havent been pressed to that point yet. To where I would need to decide between them and myself. Im still soft, as Ive seen from my training with gong. I have plenty to learn. But that no longer matters.

It is the end of the night, before we have to head out to our respective locations for pick up. Theres nothing else to do.

From here, Ill have to learn as I go. For good or bad.

Were finally here.
