Green Monster Epic

“Pfft!!”

Sharga's figure, flying in the sky, swayed a few times, and a mouthful of dark red blood sprayed from his mouth, staining a small patch of the sky red.

Forcing a breath, pushing the severe pain from his injuries out of his mind, Sharga accelerated his speed towards Mansa City. In his current state, his combat power was reduced by more than half, and only returning to Mansa City could give him some peace of mind.

This time, it was truly a losing business, making Sharga, who was flying, feel a bit regretful. He shouldn't have accepted this mission.

The missing finger could be dealt with by seeking the priests in the temple to cast the divine art of limb regeneration, but this would come at a great cost. To ask a priest of level 15 or higher to cast a 7th-level divine art, that couldn't be settled with just dozens or hundreds of gold coins. The internal injuries would require even more time to recuperate slowly. Using divine arts would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and would leave hidden dangers in the body.

Now that his mission had failed, presumably that human who had secretly approached him would no longer give him the promised reward.

Frankly speaking, Sharga's attack not only yielded no gains, but his accumulated wealth over the years would also shrink by a circle due to his injuries, which made him feel extremely distressed.

Fortunately, the other party didn't intend to kill him. Otherwise, if they had taken advantage of his serious injuries to continue chasing him, he would have had to pay a great price to get rid of the two green skins. However, Sharga didn't appreciate it, and had already记在了心心中 (ji zai le xin zhong, a Chinese idiom meaning 'held a grudge') this debt in his heart, thinking about when he could find an opportunity to wash away today's shame.

Along with this, Allen, the green-skinned rat he encountered temporarily, was also remembered by Sharga. With the previous unsuccessful pursuit and the revenge of the two green-skinned assassins this time, Sharga's desire to kill Allen had risen to a very high level.

It was a pity that even if he escaped back to Mansa City now, he would have to go into seclusion to recuperate, and there was no chance to come out and find trouble with this green skin, which was a bit of a shame.

Thinking about these boring things, the outline of Mansa City gradually appeared on the horizon. Sharga didn't descend from the sky, but just flew over the city walls and towards his own mansion in the inner city, then half-fell to the ground with a thud, holding a Returning Shadow Spear to steady himself.

“Ah, Lord Sharga, you're back!”

A human servant was tending the flowers in the garden and didn't have time to dodge when he saw Sharga's embarrassed appearance. He could only tremble and prostrate himself on the ground, bowing his head in greeting.

“Thud!!”

Sharga didn't respond, and the Returning Shadow Spear suddenly appeared above the human's head, piercing through the skull and nailing the servant to death in the garden.

Only then did other servants discover Sharga, running over in a hurry. Even seeing the fate of their innocent companion, they didn't dare to dodge or leave. Everyone was used to Sharga's gnoll's brutal and fierce nature, and could only pray that they weren't the unlucky ones when serving Sharga.

“Get lost!!!!”

Sharga didn't want his embarrassed appearance to be ridiculed, and roared angrily. A group of servants fled to the corners of the mansion as if they had been granted amnesty, lest they provoke Sharga's murderous intent.

It wasn't until Hognatan, the steward of Sharga's mansion, came to see him that Sharga spoke with an icy face.

“Go and inquire about a person for me, and collect all his information.”

“Yes, sir.”

Hognatan was Sharga's junior. Although not a direct descendant, he was a rare talent among Sharga's collateral bloodline, so he was valued by Sharga and brought to his side for training. Now he was a level 14 high-level battle warrior.

“This person is a hobgoblin, I don't know his name very well, but he just took the city lord's mission to exterminate the Owlhawk Gang. It shouldn't be difficult to find out if you inquire.”

Facing his junior, Sharga's ferocious aura subsided a bit, but when he talked about Allen's situation, the overflowing killing intent made Hognatan feel a chill in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for this hobgoblin who had offended Lord Sharga.

“By the way, he is very likely to be staying at the Oak Temple, you can check it out.”

“Remember, it is best not to let others know that you are looking for this hobgoblin, especially himself.”

“Yes!”

Hognatan originally wanted to ask Sharga why he was so embarrassed today, but thinking about the consequences of asking, he suppressed his curiosity and nodded in agreement with a solemn face. However, listening to Lord Sharga's tone, he seemed to have a strong desire to kill this hobgoblin, so Hognatan thought about sharing some of his worries for his lord.

“Sir, do you need your subordinate to find a place to…”

“You only need to find out all the information about this hobgoblin, don't be meddlesome with other things!!”

Sharga glared at him with a fierce look, letting Hognatan know that this flattery had been misplaced. He quickly apologized and was about to leave, but was stopped by Sharga when he was about to go out, and gave another instruction.

“After finding out the information about this green skin, go to the Skull Bar and post a message to capture this green skin alive.”

“Yes.”

“Remember, it must be alive!! If anyone kills him, I will make sure that the guy who killed him cannot stand in Mansa City!!”

“From today onwards, I will return to the training ground to recuperate from my injuries, and I will not see anyone. If you catch this green skin, first lock him in the dungeon of the mansion, and bring him to see me after I come out!”

“Understood, I will do it now!”

Hognatan nodded repeatedly, and had already put this matter in the first place, thinking about what method he could use to complete this matter beautifully during the days when the lord was recuperating.

However, although Sharga's status as a legend in Mansa City was prominent, he really didn't have much real power. There was no way, each of the 113 member forces in Mansa City had several legends, and the legends sitting in Mansa City were generally maintained between 15-20, plus a demigod to suppress the situation. Under mutual restraint, no one dared to make a big move in the city.

Even legendary powerhouses had many concerns, so the subordinates who worked for the legends needed to consider it again and again, so as not to cause trouble for the adults and tribes above.

Therefore, Hognatan didn't have many means to use. Apart from the dozens of members of their Kuela tribe who stayed in Mansa City and a group of hidden agents, there were no other manpower. And who the person Hognatan was going to deal with now was, what his strength was, he still knew nothing, and he didn't know if he could complete this mission successfully.

As for Allen, the person involved, he had no idea that he had been targeted by a legend. At this time, having suddenly obtained a large sum of money, he was preparing to go on a long trip, and then return to the Mist Forest once again to retrieve the forest python's python skin that he had hidden outside the Mist Forest.

Knowing the difficulty of life outside, and the preciousness of those magical beast materials, how could Allen be willing to give up materials like the forest python skin! If the Mist Forest was not too dangerous, and Allen didn't have the confidence to venture into it alone, he even wanted to enter the Mist Forest again to kill a few more magical beasts and strip the valuable magic glands and materials from their bodies.

But all of this was wishful thinking, and even when Allen went to retrieve the python skin buried on the edge of the forest, he was always worried, for fear of being targeted by a powerful magical beast.
