Monster Minotaur

The dark forest is often the most dangerous. It can almost be said to be a gathering place for monsters. Generally speaking, no one except those who make a living from the forest is willing to enter it. Among the similar fairy tales in mainland China, most of them tell about disobedient children entering the forest and being eaten by unknown monsters.

These plots used by adults to scare children before going to bed, to a certain extent, illustrate how enlightenment education on the mainland treats forests. Forests have always been a symbol of danger. However, even with such a clear explanation, many young people still die in the forest every year. Some people do it because of the needs of their own work, while others are just mentally retarded children who want to die happily.

The small overseas island of Kanas is a peaceful place. This is recognized throughout the Kingdom of Kolar. If it were not for the inconvenient transportation, most of the nobles in the kingdom would regard it as their old age. There are no powerful monsters in the place where you retire.

But even so, it is not said to be a completely safe place. There are still monsters such as goblins and slimes in the forest on the island, and there are also powerful tauren in the deepest part. This is still a big threat to the residents of Kanas Island who have little fighting talent and have been farming for almost generations. The fact that the village's self-organized garrison was able to drive away the harassing goblins was already a very good achievement. It was simply impossible to take the initiative to attack in the forest.

And it is precisely for this reason that, except for hunters who have mastered survival skills, other residents are not allowed to approach the forest. But there are no rules in the world that will definitely be followed. No matter what serious consequences and punishments there are behind the rules, there will still be people who take risks and bring trouble to others and themselves.

Now in Caernarfon, a village inland on Canas Island, two young men have disappeared for a whole day. Although the two of them often practice so-called sword skills around the village, they have never been like now. He has been missing for so long. Seeing the night slowly approaching, their parents felt something was wrong and came to the village guard for help.

We are really powerless. Wearing some rusty armor that had not been taken care of, the captain of the guard team said to the three parents with helpless hands: It is getting dark now, and it is very dangerous to go outside the village. , and our guard team, including me, only has seven people, so even if we want to search, we have to wait until after dawn.

Does that mean we have to watch our children die? Are all the salaries the village pays you every year in vain! The red-haired middle-aged man shouted emotionally, and his wife who was standing by tried to pull him. Her hands prevented him from rushing forward, but he looked at the guard captain with a worried look on his face. Next to the couple stood a woman with long blond hair. Of the three adults who came to look for their children, she was the only one who still maintained the necessary calmness and demeanor.

Mr. Baker, is there really nothing we can do? The blond woman looked at the guard captain and said, Those two children might have gone to a hunter's cabin in the forest. The previous paragraph was not about being hunters. Did something happen to Pierre? He hasn't come to the village to sell his furs for several days? The two of them have a good relationship with his daughter Delia. Maybe they went to look for them because of such a thing.

We really have nothing to do at night. Baker shook his head and said, And they went to the forest, where there are monsters everywhere. Even if all seven of us went, it would only increase the casualties. What's more, we can't go all of them, the village needs our protection.

What Baker said was true. Even a red-haired middle-aged man could understand these things, but he could not give up a glimmer of hope. That was his only child, and he had to ensure the child's safety no matter how dangerous it was. Since the rest of the defense team didn't dare to search in the forest, he had to prepare it himself.

Mr. Shanks, you don't want to go into the forest by yourself, do you? The blond woman seemed to see what the red-haired middle-aged man was thinking. She turned around and looked at him seriously and said, I don't I hope you will go on an adventure in the forest. Not to mention that it is about to turn into night and you have a low chance of not finding them. If you, the breadwinner of the family, are unfortunately in danger, how will your wife live in the future?

Mrs. Maria, aren't you worried at all? The red-haired middle-aged man's wife looked at the calm blonde lady and asked with a strange look on her sad face: They went to a dangerous forest. We're in trouble! If we are attacked by those monsters, we will be completely defeated!

The blond woman did not answer Mrs. Shanks' words. She shook her head and told Shanks to think about what she said, then turned and left the guard's garrison. Shanks was left with a complicated look on his face, struggling and hesitating. As Maria said, as the backbone of the family, he couldn't die, and his wife's health was not very good.

It might be fine for a while without his care, but what happens when she gets old? After thinking about it for a long time, Shanks finally decided to wait until tomorrow morning, when the sun has a better view, to make plans. Going deep into the forest at night was not a wise choice. Even if he decided to find his child, he couldn't go there as recklessly as if he was going to die.

The woman known as Maria left the guard station and walked through the winding road in the village to her residence, which was not a big wooden house. Although this home located on the edge of the village is not very poor, it is definitely not rich. The suffering a woman goes through in order to support herself and her children is unimaginable to those who have not experienced it.

As someone who has experienced this, Maria understands the importance of her husband, and she does not want Mrs. Shanks to end up in her own situation, so she speaks out to dissuade Shanks from his reckless decision. After returning home, Maria fell down on the chair a little exhausted. She was no less worried about her child than anyone else. That child was her only treasure and expectation.

However, her smart mind reminded her all the time that no matter what she did now, it would be useless, and waiting was the best choice. Now all she can do is kneel down and pray that the god who abandoned him can give him favor at this time and let him survive this crisis.

However, in the increasingly dark forest, the blond boy put the injured red-haired boy under a big tree, clenched the blood-stained dagger in his hand and stared at the shining eyes around him. They had been surrounded by more than a dozen goblins. The injured red-haired boy no longer had the strength to move. Now he could only fight to the death against these monsters.

Don't worry about me, just run away! The red-haired boy leaned on the long sword in his hand and stood up reluctantly. He shouted to the handsome boy who was protecting him: This is all my fault! If it wasn't I dragged you here, and we wouldn't have ended up in this situation, and even now I'm the one holding you back.

What nonsense are you talking about! Charles. The handsome blond boy heard the red-haired boy's words and reprimanded loudly: Don't put all the responsibility on yourself. I also have a big responsibility for failing to dissuade you. , and didn’t I agree with your statement in the end? We are all worried about Delia.

Several goblins jumped out of the dark trees howling and rushed towards Charlotte, waving broken weapons they picked up from unknown sources. Although these goblins are not powerful monsters, the number of more than a dozen of them is not something that two people can handle.

Charlotte blocked the attacks of the first two and inserted the dagger into their bodies, but her arm was also scratched by a goblin behind. Charlotte, who had never been hurt like this before, let go of the dagger in her hand and fell to the ground full of dead leaves. She could only watch the goblin in front of her, moving towards his head. Swing down your weapon.

Phew...puff! The sound of the long sword cutting through the air came instantly, piercing the belly of the goblin who was about to cut Charlotte, and nailed her to the ground. Charles, who was leaning against the tree trunk, threw out his sword and saved Charlotte's life.

Thank you. Charlotte, who gradually got used to the pain, stood up, picked up the dagger she had dropped, then pulled out the long sword stuck in the goblin, retreated to Charles and handed the long sword to him. He said: There are still more than a dozen goblins here. If we don't deal with them, we won't be able to leave here.

That's right. Charles, who was sweating due to the pain in his ankle, nodded and said: But there are too many of them, and we are not their opponents. It's up to me to contain them here, You should leave here quickly, if this continues, we will all die here together!

How could I leave you! Charlotte took advantage of these timid goblins before they attacked, tore off a piece of cloth from her clothes, wrapped it on her arm and whispered: You still owe me I haven't paid back more than a dozen copper coins! If you die, where can I get my money back? So you must live a good life for me.

While the two were talking, the goblins obviously noticed their fatigue and stopped attacking in small waves like they just did. More than a dozen goblins all jumped out of the grass. Holding the weapon in his hand high, he let out a weird shout from his dirty mouth full of saliva, and rushed towards the two people relying on the tree trunk!

Please recommend me, please give me a monthly pass. I'm trying to whet your appetite, but I won't tell you what happened to the protagonist~
