Green Monster Epic
#333 - Exposure
The wind from the double-bladed axe rushed towards him. Allen's eyes widened, his legs braced against the ground, and he abandoned the Bone Splitter that was plunged into the Berserker Demon's chest and abdomen. He headbutted the Berserker Demon's lower jaw.
Thump!
Allen's vision blurred for a moment, but he quickly recovered. The Berserker Demon, struck heavily on the lower jaw, went blank. The double-bladed axe fell downwards uncontrollably, but failed to hit Allen. At the same time, the Berserker Demon's body leaned backwards. To control his falling body, the Berserker Demon shifted his legs back the moment he regained consciousness, sweeping one hand towards Allen's body and swinging the double-bladed axe he picked up from the ground with the other.
Allen recovered even faster than the Berserker Demon. A dull pain emanated from his chest and abdomen, but his powerful control prevented it from affecting his combat ability. As he landed, his hands were already on the Bone Splitter's short hilt. He pulled and thrust, his feet tapping the ground, moving almost in sync with the Berserker Demon's retreat.
The Bone Splitter's wide blade began to churn within the Berserker Demon's chest and abdomen, causing it pain and making blood foam at the corners of its mouth.
Finally, after the two figures stopped moving, the tall Berserker Demon slowly leaned backwards and fell. Allen pulled out the Bone Splitter and mercilessly followed up with another strike, cleaving the opponent's large head from its neck.
Taking advantage of the remaining time of his Fury skill, Allen didn't bother to pick up any loot on the ground. He turned and charged towards the surviving demons. The time spent chasing them down was even longer than the time he spent fighting the Berserker Demon.
After more than half a magic hour, the valley returned to silence. Allen, reeking of blood and slaughter, stood in the arena, preparing to clean up the battlefield and the demons' corpses.
Suddenly, he heard a very faint sound. Allen looked up, surveying the valley, but couldn't find the source of the sound.
He poured a bottle of healing potion into his mouth. To end the battle quickly, Allen had traded injuries for kills, which resulted in him swiftly beheading the Berserker Demon. However, the opponent's thick legs, as large as his waist, had kicked him, causing Allen considerable injury.
Afterward, Allen dragged the Bone Splitter and slowly walked towards the source of the sound. The weakness period of the Fury skill hadn't passed, but it wouldn't last much longer, so he wasn't worried about any danger.
There was a naturally formed cave in the valley, hidden behind a thicket of bushes. Allen hadn't noticed it before. After entering the valley and bypassing the bushes, the faint sound became clearer. It was a cacophony of various noises: the crying of children and women, low groans, and hysterical roars and screeches.
At the dark cave entrance, Allen listened intently for a moment. His intuition didn't detect any danger. After the weakness period ended, he carried the Bone Splitter and slowly crept inside like a ghost.
A stench filled the cave, a mixture of decaying flesh, blood, and fermenting excrement. The nauseating smell almost made Allen want to vomit. He wrinkled his nose and continued to explore, discovering a group of gaunt humans who looked like walking corpses.
No wonder a group of demons was lurking in this valley. It turned out that a group of over a hundred human prisoners were being held in the cave.
In the dimly lit cave, Allen's darkvision allowed him to see everything the humans were doing and their facial expressions. However, if he had a choice, he might not have wanted to see the scene before him.
Most of the humans were listless and motionless, their eyes devoid of light. It was the phenomenon of giving up hope for survival and accepting the status quo. The few who still had vitality were mostly young and middle-aged human males, who were now forcibly suppressing human females, venting their bestial desires. The abused women either begged and struggled or simply became like corpses, no longer feeling anything that was happening to their bodies.
Even worse, they lacked the ability and will to resist the powerful demons, but when confined in this cave, they had various cruel means of oppressing their fellow humans. A child was on his last breath, whimpering weakly, tears of blood flowing down his face, but he couldn't move. His limbs had already been separated from his body, turning into white bones scattered on the ground.
Around the child, several middle-aged and young human males with scars on their faces and bodies and ferocious patterns tattooed on their chests, were relatively well-dressed, but their bodies were covered in blood, especially their cheeks, mouths, and hands. The smell of blood was strong, and Allen immediately judged that they were the culprits behind the child's tragic state.
There were also weaklings with thin bodies who looked at the strong men with fear.
Despair caused the collapse of order, as well as the collapse of humanity and morality. Allen looked at the ugly side of the cave, and some emotions arose in his heart.
Without a word, Allen, who did not have the mindset of a saint, had no intention of helping these humans. Just as he was about to slowly leave the cave without disturbing them, a human turned around, his eyes glowing red, staring directly at Allen.
"Save me, warrior! Save us!"
The human with red eyes seemed to have the same darkvision talent as Allen, and directly begged towards Allen's figure hidden in the shadows.
At the same time, the other party gestured with his hand, and a group of white light that was not dazzling flowed between the other party's fingertips, a zero-level magic trick to illuminate the entire cave, and at the same time exposed Allen's scarred body and unique bear-nosed face to the public.
The sudden appearance of a strange face, although not human, still caused a burst of commotion and riot. The bloody aura on Allen's body, the blood still flowing on the Bone Splitter's sword, and his hobgoblin identity, all told the humans in front of them that they might have hope of surviving.
"Save me, sir, I am willing to be your slave!"
"Warrior, take me out, I am the heir to Baron Hotanburg of Sakura County in the Spring Kingdom. As long as you take me away, I will definitely let my father reward you heavily!"
"...Sir, please help me..."
Various voices sounded, filling the not-so-large cave, making Allen's brows, which had not been stretched, even tighter, and he couldn't help but shout: "Shut up!!!"
However, he clearly underestimated a group of guys who had finally seen a life-saving straw, the desire for life, when they saw hope from despair, made these people directly lose their ability to think, only a small number of guys were still foolishly dazed, that was because they had already been frightened by the painful reality.
No one would shut up, everyone continued to say words of help, and at the same time began to wriggle their stiff bodies that had not moved for a long time, trying to climb in front of Allen, as if doing so would definitely make Allen help them. The few human males who ate human flesh were stronger, directly kicking and hitting the compatriots who blocked their progress to the side, without any gentleness, two people as thin as bamboo poles were pushed onto the wall, rubbing out a piece of blood, and could not stand up for a long time.
"Sir, we can still fight, take us with you!!"
With flattering and ingratiating faces, four stubble-covered tattooed men carefully walked to Allen, lowered their bodies, and whispered, shaking their pale limbs.
Puff!! Puff! Puff…
No one thought that Allen would turn his face ruthlessly. They originally thought he was everyone's savior, but they didn't expect to usher in a murderer. Allen swung the Bone Splitter lightly, and the four ferocious guys who had previously been domineering in this group of prisoners were slashed away by Allen in one fell swoop, and even implicated several humans, and crashed into the cave wall together.
"Shut up!!!"
At this time, Allen's words finally had a reaction, a group of humans were stunned, shivering on the spot, neither daring to go forward nor daring to retreat, for fear of attracting Allen's attack.
"I don't have the time to save you, if you want to survive, just stay in this cave for 10 days, go out after ten days, understand?"
"If anyone dares to leave the cave within ten days, I will let you know what the price is!!"
The Bone Splitter was inserted into the cave entrance, Allen drew out the dagger from his waist, picked and chose to walk in the crowd, from time to time the cold light flashed and a human let out a desperate wail, but soon the wail would stop abruptly, at this time the other party had already lost his life.
After walking around in the crowd, Allen harvested the lives of a dozen humans, and then stopped.
Finally, no one would associate Allen with a hero who sees injustice on the road, and the eyes looking at Allen also changed from begging, hope, to fear, panic, and deep disgust and hatred.
However, no one dared to move, the demons had treated them as meat, picking and choosing to drag their members out, the scene of chewing and absorbing souls alive had already wiped out the last trace of resistance of this group of people.
"You, take my place to manage this group of guys, when I come back in ten days, if I find someone has escaped, I will kill you!!"
Allen pointed his finger at the human who was holding the illumination technique and watching his actions with awe and fear, put on a fierce face, and his eyes pierced deep into the other party's heart.
"Yes, yes…I, I will definitely manage this group of guys!!"
After Allen arranged everything, he turned around and left, no longer staying in this cave full of blood.
After leaving the cave entrance, Allen's eyes flickered, and he suddenly turned back, the Bone Splitter infused with anger, and slashed fiercely at the cave entrance, immediately causing pieces of rubble to fly around.
So, with no reservations, he hacked and chopped, and soon the entrance of the cave was piled high with all kinds of rubble, the collapsed stones blocking the inside and outside of the cave.
Of course, Allen didn't intend to completely seal off the cave; he simply hoped that doing so would delay the humans, preventing them from causing any trouble to his southward escape.
If his tracks hadn't been suddenly exposed by the humans, Allen would never have gone to such lengths to do these energy-consuming things.
Originally, the simplest way to eliminate the hidden danger would have been to directly kill the group of humans in the cave to silence them, which would have been safer.
However, Allen was not a psychopathic murderer; although he was naturally indifferent, he still held great goodwill towards life.
In the end, the compromise was to leave the group of humans in the cave for a period of time, so that even if they exposed his whereabouts after he had escaped a certain distance and time, they might not be able to cause him much trouble.
As for killing people in the cave, it was actually just Allen leaving rations for these humans.
Rather than letting them kill each other in the cave, it would be better for him to pick out some of the damned guys first and use them as food for these humans to survive, which would be better for them.
And the targets Allen chose to kill were basically the bastards he had secretly observed before, doing all kinds of dirty and despicable things, bullying others.
As long as he killed this group of troublemakers who still had some courage left, then the softies remaining in the cave would have a few more days of peace, and would not escape from the cave as soon as he left.
After checking the traces in the valley and confirming that there were no major flaws, Allen immediately set off, continuing his southward journey.
Allen didn't know that the tracks of his group had already been targeted by the demons.
Among the dilapidated ruins of Muesburg in the Spring Country, there was a powerful demon lair active in the surrounding dozens of miles.
Among the demon team of more than 300, the leading demon was a powerful high-level snake demon.
At this time, this snake demon was in the castle that originally belonged to the master of Muesburg, Viscount Connors, using a whip to lash a kobold suspended under the tall lampstand in the center of the castle hall.
One whip after another mercilessly struck the kobold's body, blooming flowers of blood on his body that no longer had a single piece of intact skin.
"Tell me, how many of you are going south this time? And their route, which specific places will they pass through?"
The snake demon's hand did not stop, enjoying the pleasure brought by the whipping, while also not forgetting to interrogate the dying kobold in a soft voice.
Beside the snake demon, a quasit was carrying a cloth bag, and from time to time took out a scroll from it, tore it open, and threw it towards the kobold in mid-air.
The effect of the healing spell made it impossible for the kobold to swallow his last breath for a long time.
"I, I... really don't know, I know, I've told you everything..."
The kobold assassin, Raff, was now regretting it to death, just because he relied on the power of his stealth skills, and discovered the huge wealth in this castle that no one was guarding when he passed by Muesburg.
The greed in his heart arose, and finally he became what he was now.
The current owner of this castle, the snake demon who was torturing him, opened the sturdy castle gate with countless traces of war, and allowed the countless dazzling gold and silver jewels to pile up like mountains, and mold in the unguarded vault.
Just inadvertently glanced at the hill piled up with jewels, Raff's small heart could no longer restrain the cheering mood, and a voice kept calling in his mind, take it away, take it away...
In the end, the jewels were not taken by the kobold, but Raff himself became a prisoner of the snake demon.
Even the token that Ahmad had told him to destroy was not smashed by Raff when he was captured.
Raff never imagined that the token he had studied for so long did not contain the secret intelligence that Ahmad said, but the token itself was a disposable, large-capacity dimensional space.
No wonder, before leaving, Ahmad specifically told everyone not to put this token into the dimensional bag, it turned out that it was because this token itself had the same attributes as the dimensional bag, so it could not be put into the dimensional bag.
When a demon under the snake demon with spatial casting ability spent a lot of effort to open the dimensional space in this token, the various potions, scrolls, armors and other materials piled up like mountains immediately piled the martial arts field in the castle, which was as big as a basketball court, into a 5-6 meter high hill.
Raff, who was hanging in the castle hall and saw this scene from the window, was stunned.
If he had known that he had such a treasure on him, he would have hid somewhere long ago and lived a carefree life!!
But it was also because of this discovery that Raff suffered the torture of the snake demon Romyaada.
Now the dense whip marks on his body, and the missing toes on his feet, were the masterpieces of the other party's interrogation.
"My lord, I, I know some of the guys, I can help track, track them, please, spare my life!!"
Raff could no longer hold on.
Don't look at the healing scrolls that have been healing him, but that is only consuming Raff's future life potential.
If he continues to endure like this, even if he can escape this disaster in the end, I am afraid he will not live long.
In order to save his life, Raff decided to surrender to the snake demon in front of him, hoping that his slight role could allow him to live a little longer, even if he knew that the demon in front of him was the enemy of all intelligent creatures in the Feywild.
"Do you have this ability? You're not trying to deceive me, just wanting to save your life, are you?"
The snake demon Romyaada looked at the kobold with cold vertical pupils, his eyes full of disdain, contempt, and at the same time, there was a gleam of light, with an interested look.
"No, absolutely not!! Among the warriors who received the task with me, two are of the same race as me, and we usually occasionally gather together to eat and drink.
When we parted at that time, everyone roughly talked about the forward route, according to my understanding of them, I should be able to judge their approximate location!!"
Seeing the opportunity to save his life beckoning to him, Raff unhesitatingly betrayed the two kobolds of the same race, but as long as he could survive, everything else was no longer within Raff's consideration.
"Very good, as long as you cooperate and help me catch two targets, I will let you go, if you can catch one more person, I will let you take away 5 times your weight in gold coins and jewels from the treasure house of this castle."
The snake demon's eyes were burning, and he said leisurely: "How about it?"
"Okay!! Okay!! Honorable Snake Demon Lord, I will definitely help you catch those guys!!"
Gold and silver jewels are no longer the things that Raff extravagantly hopes for, it is a blessing for him to be able to save his life.
At this time, hearing the content of the other party's words, he immediately shook his dog's head repeatedly, even causing his hanging body to shake continuously.
In fact, what Raff didn't know was that the conditions that the snake demon had offered him just now were not without sincerity, he really intended to give the other party a sum of gold coins.
The value of money in the abyss is too low, which is also the reason why their demons allow the money in the castle to be discarded randomly, because they have never cared about it.
Of course, it will probably be difficult for Raff to take away these gold coins, and what he can only gain is probably a layer of money laid under his pile of bones after the matter is over, which is considered the reward given to him by the snake demon.
Not to mention Romyaada letting go of the kobold, after he recovered a little, he took him and chased in a certain direction.
Only to say that after Romyaada seized the token in Raff's hand and obtained the relevant information of this token, he sent a vrock demon as a messenger to send the news back to a colosseum more than a hundred miles north of Mingxi City.
In the arena, in a palace built of human heads in an empty space, the demon demigod, Viscount Gul'dan, was holding a wine vessel made of human legendary skull at this time, carefully tasting the delicious taste of the fresh virgin heart blood contained in the wine vessel.
Under the throne made of skeletons, on the wide ground made of white bones, the vrock demon kneeling in the hall and trembling slowly, reported the situation that Romyaada had learned truthfully to Viscount Gul'dan in a trembling tone.
"Tsk tsk tsk, a bunch of gutless guys, only know how to play tricks, boring!!"
Gul'dan exhaled lightly, and a stream of hot fire shot out from his nose.
As a balor, every move he made could mobilize active fire elements to manifest various visions.
"Pass this message down, tell those lazy ghosts below, open their eyes wide for me, and let a mouse run away."
"Yes!"
A charming voice came from behind Gul'dan's tall body, a succubus who was like a dwarf in comparison, but was actually a half-step legend, swayed her lotus steps, waved a pair of delicate and lovely bat wings behind her, and quickly passed through the bone palace and flew towards the distance.
"Go back and tell Romyaada, it's time to return to the team after playing almost, otherwise the next time I ask someone to notify him to return to the team, I will take his snake head and make it the armrest on my throne!!"
"Yes!!"
The vrock demon, who was kneeling on the ground and never dared to look directly at Gul'dan on the skull throne from beginning to end, trembled like a sieve, and answered in a trembling voice.
Soon, the news that a team of warriors would pass through the demon army's defense line was conveyed to the ears of the demon leaders.
For a time, the idle demons in the entire demon defense line seemed to have found something fun, and they ran wildly around the battlefield, searching, and they really caught several wilderness warriors with rapid journeys.
