Maam wears an Avan insignia just like the ones Popp and Dai received from Avan. Rightfully so, Maam tells off Popp for abandoning his friend, but something else about Maam is hinted at. Meanwhile, Maam runs back into Popp, saving the "useless" mage from a different monster. Dai can't seem to cut through Crocodine's thick hide with just his knife.

Of course, Popp turns tail and runs away, leaving Dai to fight for himself. Crocodine tells us that each of the six commanders' combat specialties exceeds Hadlar in Crocodine's case, it's his overwhelming strength. Then with a single swing of his ax, Crocodine knocks down the massive cliff behind Dai and Popp in a horrifying display of strength. Popp attempts to burn Crocodine with "Frizz," but the commander is able to simply blow away the flames with just his breath. After an unpleasant conversation where Popp lists off what he finds attractive in a woman, Crocodine makes his appearance.

It's only when Hadlar explained to Crocodine that Dai managed to wound him that Crocodine takes an interest. At first, the reptilian monster is insulted by such a request, wasting his strength on a mere child. Hadlar calls Crocodine asking him to go after Dai to kill the boy. The show cuts to a cave to introduces Crocodine, The Beast King and one of Hadlar's commanders. Ultimately Popp leads Dai and himself back into the Dark Forest. Popp and Maam butt heads, making the situation much more difficult. Despite the fact they have no idea where they're going, Popp insists that they keep walking through the forest in the dark to get to the palace rather than spend the night in a crummy village. This is where Popp's cowardly selfishness turns very annoying very fast. When Dai explains they need to get to King Romos' palace, Maam offers to let them spend the night at her village and she can guide them to the palace in the morning.

Maam tells us that this forest is called The Dark Forest, a breeding ground for monsters, and with the Dark Lord's return, it's more dangerous than ever to be traveling into. The monster's assailant is none other than a girl by the name of Maam specialized in using a pistol with different projectile capsules of magic.

Just at that moment, a third monster emerges from behind Popp and Dai, but before the boys can reach their weapons, a projectile lodges into the monster, killing it with perfect precision. She asks them if they can lead her back to her village, but it turns out the two of them are just as lost as the girl. Dai and Popp save a young girl from two monsters chasing her in a thick forest.

In Episode 6, after Dai and Popp finally embark from Dermline Island to the mainland in hopes of meeting with King Romos, the episode jumps ahead a few days. Hopefully, they'll find their way out of The Dark Forest in one piece, but it's Popp's fault they got lost in the first place. This is great, since his current ally, Popp has become progressively more irritating and useless with every episode. It seems Dragon Quest's Dai is able to draw allies to him, wherever he may go. WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Dragon Quest : Adventure of Dai Episode 6, "CROCODINE, THE BEAST KING," now streaming on Crunchyroll and Hulu.
