I mounted my Dark Flare Draconic Lion Chimera while Zehe went over her Two-Headed Crystal Horse Empress. Although it would have been faster if we flew, I just wanted to relax while the monsters carried us towards the dungeon.
Because we went on foot, we encountered several monsters on the way, so it was a nice way for them to gain some quick levels.
We encountered some bugs I have never seen before. They were called Blazing Crickets and had strong and sturdy shells alongside powerful blazing kicks. I ate a few but I didn't get any skill. They tasted like grilled crab.
As we reached the Blood Forest, we began to encounter giant swarms of Demonic Ants, they weren't hostiles against us, so I assumed they were the offspring of the Ant Princess. I still ate around ten and got some skills.
