The swarm of Black Mice surged like a tidal wave, following closely behind the group.
A Fire Oil Bullet the size of a bowl was thrown over.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
In response to Tuck was the massive, frantic, and angry squeaking of the Black Mice.
"Did you just poke a hornet's nest?"
Tuck looked towards Taniru.
"How would I know, I was just escaping your Sheep Transformation in the depth of the cave."
"Right after I got free, this bunch of Black Mice crawled out from who knows where."
Taniru said between gasps as he ran.
This guy was already running out of steam.
"Maybe… you shouldn't have turned back, at least sheep run faster than you."
Tuck teased.
"Alright, you guys go first, I'll cover the rear."
"There are so many Black Mice, they will definitely impact the defense line if we go to the Undead crack area later."
"Then be careful," Armanti said.
"You too!"
He admonished briefly, while also glancing at Taniru.
