The group saw the view of the park with tree's becoming taller than the building a couple of big birds atop the trees.
"Wow" Leah exclaimed not expecting that the park is a literal forest. She went to the front of the group, to see the lush green veiw.
The group ventured inside the forest, only to be assaulted by a wasp with the size on arm. But was quickly dispatch by Leah as she was in front of the group.
"Sheesh, thirty seconds in and was already attacked" Matt said, as he eyed the surrounding looking if there was anything lurking.
Screech!
The group looked to the side and saw a mantis being impaled with a spike. They look at Karl with a thankful look.
"Let's find a nice place to settle camp" Karl said, they agreed and walk further in the park.
Walking further in Karl noticed that beside the place being infested with a lot of overgrown bugs, the plants are also seemingly alive as felt a couple of plants moved while using the wind
After killing a few move insects the group settled in near a pond.
"We should clear out near the place, especially a top the trees you'll never know when a giant spider comes down" Karl said knowing that there is a lot of insects surrounding them. However he is incapable of dealing with them since they are high up in the trees or it take considerably a lot of mana just for a single kill.
Hearing Karl orders the four immediately separate with Matt and Leah scaling the trees looking out for spiders or giant birds that are to close in the camp.
While Patrick and Trish teamed up to scout the perimeter of the camp to see if it's safe. While Krass didn't join the clearing, as he was taking care of the netherhounds cubs while Karl was using [earth spike] to make a wall.
Two minutes later. Karl finished building the wall at height of three meters and in a ten meter radius, as he used [Rejuvenation totem] in the middle of the camp.
Karl took a moment a watch his finished work as he nodded satisfied with it. Then his attention was drawn towards the netherhounds, Krass as usual was looking out on the cubs while the latter tried to played with him.

"Damn, Karl was right that there is a lot of giant insects around" Patrick said as he pulled out his sword on a bee head.
Wiping the green blood from his face Patrick look back to see a lot of bee corpse on the ground .Trish was currently catching her breath, clearly exhausted from fighting those bees.
They continued scouting the place but immediately stopped as blue letters appearing again in their views.
[You have entered a ruler's territory the "Verdant groove" defeat the boss who rules the dungeon to gain rewards.]
"We should tell Karl about this before continuing moving forward" Trish said not knowing what a ruler's territory is, but it sounded ominous .
"Wouldn't agree more" Patrick agreed as they hurriedly return to the camp they set up"
* * *
They returned to the camp and went to Karl as he was lying down, standing in front of Karl's he immediately told him about the dungeon.
"Karl we found something interesting " Patrick said and explain the ruler's territory and that the system is giving rewards to anyone who can kill it.
Karl didn't know about what it is,but he thought about of it as field boss where a strong monster ruled a place just like in the game.
Karl leaned in to going into territory as if they kill the monster who ruled it they'll be getting rewards.
"Why not we wait till the others arrived before making a decision" Karl said as he closed his eyes.
" Does the territory have a name?" Karl asked Patrick if knowing the name of territory he will a better understanding of the monster.
"Verdant groove"
"A dungeon with plant type monster " Karl murmured and nodded to Patrick.
Some time later. Matt and Leah arrived back to camp appreciating to Karl for bolstering the camp.
"Your back" Karl said and noticing when they walked in into the entrance.
They sit together with the others, as they discussed what they will do with the territory they Patrick and Trish found deeper in the park.
