Lenny smiled at this.
In fact, he was in so much joy that he had to bite down on the temptation crawling at the back of his mind to go back into the village and join the humanoid insects in their slaughter.
However, he held back that urge.
Definitely, old man Buckle was going to be back, and if he saw that Lenny was out, things were not going to end well.
Lenny was smart enough to understand and control his impulses.
For now, he had to get away from this place.
He looked ahead. There was what looked like a cliff.
As someone who was experienced in climbing walls, this was as easy as pie for him.
He climbed the wall gently and in no hurry.
On getting to the top, he noticed big boulders spread around the place. They were at least twelve meters high and five meters wide. They were round and obviously heavy.
This was probably a last resort that old Buckle created in case of future unwarranted troubles. The boulders would naturally destroy the dome.
For Lenny, the deed had been done.
His aim now was to leave this place and go as far away as possible.
However, he suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
Far off in the distance, he could see old man Buckle.
He was not alone. In fact, he was having a conversation.
The person he conversed with was not exactly what Lenny would even call a person.
It was a humanoid insect.
However, it was not like the disruptive and animalistic ones that he had just let loose on the village.
In fact, it was one with a very familiar face.
It was the same one that Lenny had seen the other time when he was hiding with Bugger and the two women inside that cave.
The same one that nearly caught them in their hiding spot. It looked to have the features of a woman. At least for the most part, but it still had the lower body of an insect.
Around and behind it were giant-sized praying mantises that acted as guards.
Lenny frowned at this. However, he made a mental note of this humanoid insect.
According to the System, this humanoid insect was called Insect B.
.....
"Buckle! Are you sure that you have the specimen that the Queen needs?" Insect-B asked. Its voice was like a bad speaker echoing. It was not too clear, but it was not clear enough either.
Buckle smiled from ear to ear and said, "Of course!" Buckle nodded like a pecking chicken. He was obviously afraid to offend this being. "Immediately I got the message from the queen, I set into action. In fact, as I speak to you, he has been paralyzed by a drug I designed."
Insect-B nodded in understanding.
Just then, Begger ran over to Buckle, and then he whispered something into his ear.
The information was obviously terrible because the bright smile on the old man's face changed faster than one could flip a burger.
The old man Buckle turned to Begger and gave him a resounding slap on the face.
Begger was a big guy.
The type that would have definitely been a bodybuilder in Lenny's former world
However, one smack to the face, and Begger flew a good twenty meters away.
Insect-B frowned, "Buckle! What is it...?"
Buckle immediately turned and ran back into the dome to check on what was going on.
As he entered, Lenny smiled.
He immediately cut the ropes that were holding the boulder in place.
Buckle ran into the dome. A massacre was before his eyes.
The insects fed on his children like hungry locusts on a corn farm.
Of course, many of them fought back.
However, he could not even be bothered with helping them.
He ran into the hut where he had imprisoned Lenny.
Just as Begger had reported, Lenny was gone.
The only thing that greeted him was the sight of Bugger's dead body on the ground, and the floor was filled with his blood.
"AHHAHAHAHAHA!!!" He roared into the sky in anger. He grabbed Begger, who had followed him in, by the neck and said, "FIND HIM!"
Just then...
*BOOM!*
The first boulder broke into the dome like a bowling ball. Anywhere it went, it crushed everything in its path. Whether it was human or not was of no concern.
On seeing the first one, old man Buckle instantly knew where Lenny was. However, more boulders suddenly made their crashing entrances.
The boulders crushed the pillars that kept the dome up, and it fell like a conquered castle. Crushing all within it.
At first, Lenny had only passed the Hidden Quest. However, he had just crushed everyone within, regardless of their strengths or power Levels. This was a more efficient mass murder.
It brought happiness to his heart as he felt his power grow once more.
The sudden development of things had even taken Insect-B by surprise.
However, far off in the distance, its incredible insect eyes could see that Lenny had run into a cave opening after doing his deed.
Two pairs of broad wings, like those of a housefly, suddenly came out of its back.
A loud buzzing sound was heard as it lifted off the ground with a low sonic boom for Lenny.
The senses of any person who had brushed shoulders with death many times were not to be underestimated.
Naturally, they could easily sense when it was coming.
In the same manner, Lenny could tell that death had its sights on him.
He took a peek behind him, and what he saw made him dumb for words.
The speed was like nothing he had ever seen in his life.
It was like a bullet train had suddenly fixed its sights on him.
"FUCK!!!"
He cursed as he put significant strength into his legs, straight into his toes, for the greatest leap he had ever taken in his life.
*BOOM!*
Insect-B attacked, smashing the place that Lenny's last foot had just kicked off from only a fraction of a second ago.
.....
A few minutes earlier...
In another part of this large, never-ending winding of caves, Crusher laid against a rock. His breathing was heavy, and his body was riddled with injuries.
He was not the only one. Two of his associates were with him.
Initially, there were seven of them that had gone out to hunt.
However, they had suddenly been met by a horde of insects that marched toward their hideout.
The destruction the insects brought with them was unforgiving.
Crusher was strong. In fact, he was far stronger than many would believe. However, even he could not fight against so many.
There was an old saying that even ants, if they were plentiful enough, could bring down an elephant.
This was true.
They had no choice but to escape as fast and efficiently as possible.
Luckily, they had saved their lives, but even now, things looked bleak for them.
One of them had lost an arm, and another had a large cut on his abdomen that revealed his ribs.
He was the only person who was not significantly hurt enough to have had his fighting ability affected.
His home had been destroyed by the insects, and the men that were remaining were injured.
He had no choice; there was nowhere else for them to go except to the Village of Gladiators. He helped one of his friends with his hand over his shoulder, and they headed to the village.
They had finally gotten to the village. It sat where it had always sat, in the distance.
However, just when they were about to advance closer,
They saw something that made them dive into hiding.
It was Insect-B. It stood with two giant praying mantis insects in front of the dome.
However, they did not attack the village.
At first sight, Crusher recognized Insect-B. He remembered that this was the thing commanding the other insects.
Even now, he could still remember as it ripped one of his comrades in two.
This was a comrade he had as a friend since their old days as D-class gladiators.
This made him grit his teeth in anger.
Just then, he saw the old man Buckle come out.
He wanted to see what was happening clearly. He informed his colleagues that he would be right back, and then he went to a better vantage point.
From this vantage point, he saw as old man Buckle conversed amicably with this creature.
Old Buckle even had a smile on his face.
He clenched his fists in anger. "This old man must have been the one that sent those damned creatures," he thought to himself.
Just then, he saw far off in another place as Lenny let loose the boulders that destroyed the entire Village.
This brought him great joy, and he laughed low.
"Yes! You deserved that, you old fool!"
However, Lenny was suddenly in trouble.
