Chapter 647 Operation Mass Migration - Part 2
"Chief! Chief! The Totem is reacting! It is true, they are performing the operation right now!" Colwaski came running into the Chieftain's Skitter's room. The Chieftain nodded his head in solemn, and they departed immediately from the hut. They previously had word from Kido that Jin was going to evict all of the animal people, including the remaining of their tribe.
However, since the dungeon supplier and the rest were busy preparing, Kido could only forewarn his tribe and get the penguins to pack up early. Unlike the rest of the animal people, the Penguin Tribe had more than ample time to evict before the commencement of Operation Mass Migration.
A portal subsequently appeared in the middle of their village, and a few armed Penguins Ninjas came out of it. Chieftain Skitter was already at the centre with the rest of the tribe folks all ready to depart. The Ninjas only were there to ensure the escape was in an orderly fashion.
Unlike the other Animal tribes, who were sceptical of the commands from the Totem, the Penguin Tribe did not have to go to the surface to teleport since they already knew who Jin was. Besides, it was more convenient for them to have the portal at the centre of their village, allowing them to move more things given the limited time frame.
"Is Kido out there already?" Skitter asked, and the Penguin Ninjas nodded their heads in unison.
"I see. Then I hope the rumours of your master being an all powerful being is true. It will be a shame to lose Kido." Skitter replied with a worried expression.
"Heh! You underestimate our fellow penguins. They will be fine." Chieftain Skitter said as he beckoned his people to enter the portal would eventually lead them to the new island instance.
As it was placed near the beachhead of the island, everyone who entered it was surprised by the vast ocean in front of them. Colwaski, who was the first few to arrive, had his jaws dropped when he saw the mesmerising beauty right in front of them.
"C'mon guys! Tell the ones in front to move forward! Or else those people at the back could enter!" Skitter shouted, not knowing what was beyond the portal in the Giant World.
"…And here I thought, it was one shit hole to another. If this is truly where we are living, I would not mind working hard for this Jin." Colwaski whispered to himself when he thought of the times he had to struggle to survive back in the Giant World.

"User, according to the latest scan, some of the groups had already begun moving to the surface. However, there were a few tribes that remained as they were. No panicked movements nor an up spike in activity. They remained unfazed by the message sent out by Druid Hamatarou." The System reported the latest developments out loud to the people in the Dungeon Maker.
"Let's be realistic. We already did our part. Hamatarou did mention that some might not have the Totem with them while others simply refuse to move out." Jin said as he looked at the predicted movement of the Giant Monsters too. "There is only so much we can do. We cannot save them all."
Once the System had already optimised and predicted the routes of the escaping Animal People, Jin gave out another order. "Send teams Charlie and Delta to these coordinates to divert the Giant Monsters away. Prepare Team Alpha and Beta for the extradition of the Animal People, teleport Hamatarou to those teams the moment they make contact with the Animal People. We have to show that we are friendly and prove our credibility."
In less than fifteen minutes, Team Alpha was teleported to the location which Jin had specified, and Ninja Penguin Kido discerned that they had arrived at the Church where their tribe hid in. He speculated that it was possibly the other side of the Church since he cannot recall seeing any of the giant stained glass right above him even though the infrastructure were identical.
"Can you imagine? A tribe that stayed near us all this time and we did not know of its existence! Man, if we had found each other and cooperated, things might turn out differently." One of the Ninja Penguins whispered.
"You are too optimistic. What if the tribe are like the Salamanders? Eating Animal People to survive? We all know how hard it is to kill a Giant and the amount of sacrifice needed." Another Ninja Penguin reasoned.
"Zip it. Eyes front." Kido's orders were sharp, and the other ninjas obeyed immediately as they ready themselves for any possible danger. Without a doubt, they sensed movement south of them, and the footsteps seemed to be hasty.
The penguins perceived that the cracked crevice right ahead of them was where the footsteps were coming from. Thus, Kido performed several hand signals to coordinate an ambush attack in case the Animal People was aggressive.
Soon, a figure appeared out from the hole with bated breath, and upon seeing Kido's stance, it panicked for a moment before brandishing his axe out.
"A Croc?" One of the Penguin Ninjas asked and Kido shrugged his shoulders before shouting out loud to state his intentions.
"We are armed, but we are friendlies who can assist you on behalf of Hamatarou, the Druid who sent you the message via his Totems," Kido exclaimed loud and clear. He could later discern the Croc right in front of him had dropped his battle stance when he lowered his axe, looking more relief than ever.
"Forward Scout?" Kido confirmed his suspicion when the Croc nodded his head in reply.
"How far behind is your tribe?"
"I am sorry, but I cannot divulge that information out. I still cannot determine whether you can be trusted despite your declaration." The Croc shouted back.
"Then you can at least trust me." Hamatarou teleported in time right beside Kido which scared the Croc a little. "Show your leader this, and he will know that I am speaking the truth. And hurry! We do not want to stay here long enough to be the Giants' dinner." Hamatarou threw one of his similar totems at the Croc.
Not to his surprise, the Croc's short arms proved to be quite disadvantages to catch something this small. He only picked it up when it fell on top of his mouth. "Listen to these penguins, they would bring you to Paradise," Hamatarou shouted again before he patted at Kido's shoulders and disappeared to aid another team.
Suddenly, the Penguin Ninjas sensed another series of erratic movement and this time around, they were sure it belonged to Giants instead of another tribe or scout. The Croc felt the same thing and his legs trembled, those footsteps were not the same as the usual prey he and his fellow hunters fought against.
It was something different. Bigger.
"You heard the big hamster! Hasten the march of your tribes, mate." One of the Penguin Ninja shouted.
"Wait! Toto! Follow that Croc and call Jin via the System Channel to open a portal below. If the scout made it up here, it means the route should be safe." Kido commanded, and Toto complied without hesitation. Although he knew that there would be one less man against the monstrosity that was coming, he knew his comrades were able to handle it.
"Godspeed! Save me some fun as well!" Toto shouted as he took off with the Croc scout.
"Heh! I do not want the fun to come to you. Master Jin will kill me." Kido chuckled as he unwrapped a giant scroll right in front of him and started chanting.
