Green Monster Epic

The troll priest was trembling all over. Every time he found a location, the ominous signs in his perception became more and more obvious. And the legendary powerhouse carrying him in the search exerted more and more strength in his hand, almost tearing off the troll's entire left arm.

“M-Master, this is the place where I sense Ms. Merlot is most likely to be.”

The troll priest's divine sense ability originates from the feedback of his devout belief in the God of Nature. Naturally, it is impossible for him to perceive clear images like Lord Ou Hai. However, in the priest's perception, the place where Merlot's body last existed should undoubtedly be here.

“Where is the person? I'm asking you, where is the person? ? ”

The originally dense jungle was now completely bald in one area. On the humid soil of the gentle slope, unnatural broken logs lay scattered, trembling with each high-pitched question from the legendary powerhouse.

Boom! !

The land that had already been plowed once, and the decaying branches and leaves, were once again blown up, and a stench assaulted his face.

A sharp pain came from his shoulder, and the legendary pressure was also immense. For a priest who had not yet reached the high level, it was so difficult to bear this weight. In the end, the priest cleverly rolled his eyes and fainted.

Looking at the troll slumped on the ground, the legendary powerhouse raised his big hand high, as if a burst of anger was about to vent on the other party, but he hesitated to act, because he knew very well that behind this weak troll, there was a powerful force that he could not afford to provoke.

“Humph! ! Useless thing! ! ”

“I don’t believe it, I’ll turn this canyon upside down, and I still can’t find Merlot’s trace! ! ! ”

The furious legend muttered to himself, looking at the mess on the ground, and turned his gaze to the more distant place.

Just as he was in a daze, a hidden mysterious wave suddenly came from the ground, which immediately aroused the legend's vigilance, and he immediately wanted to fly into the sky.

Pa ta! !

The legend jumped 4-5 meters high, but the expected ability to stay in the air suddenly disappeared. His face turned solemn on the spot. The moment he landed in a wolfish manner, his eyes swept around, looking for the source of the change.

“I think your hope is probably in vain.”

A figure crashed directly like a cannonball, and the sharp sword wind in his hand made the legend's body hair flutter randomly.

Dong! ! ! !

In a hurry, the legendary powerhouse still reacted. A double-edged heavy axe suddenly appeared in his hand, just to intercept the attacker's charged blow. However, the opponent's strength was amazing. Even if the legendary powerhouse believed that his strength was outstanding, he was still at a disadvantage in the fight. The whole person was directly bounced out, his legs deeply trapped in the soft ground, dragging out two deep ravines.

“Allen! ! ! ”

“Why! ! ! ”

The legendary powerhouse looked at the familiar face of the hobgoblin who was no longer concealing himself in order to ensure the best fighting posture. His face was full of fear and anger, and he roared loudly with his thick voice.

Facing the familiar face and compatriots in front of him, Allen's face was calm. After turning on the mechanical mind on the Ice Heart Armguard in advance, Allen had no emotional fluctuations at all, and he was too lazy to say anything to explain.

With a stomp of his feet, Allen, who had the upper hand, started again. The Ground-Cracking Slash had already completed its charge between raising his arms, and he smashed it straight at the hobgoblin in front of him--Manorankin, who had led a team to visit Allen in Green Field Plain a few months ago but failed.

… … … …

The scene turned back to more than a month ago. Manor, who had been staying in Green Lake Town for almost a month, returned to Murr Fortress with his team dejectedly, and he was still in a bad mood after recuperating for a long time.

The reason is naturally very simple, that is, he originally had great expectations to contact Allen to build a relationship, and planned to pull him to work with his tribe. But who would have thought that Allen, this slippery guy, would actually play the trick of being away from home for a long time and not returning, which turned Manor's hopes into bubbles, how could he not feel frustrated.

However, before this feeling of frustration could be driven away, patriarch Byleer suddenly sent someone over to ask him to go over quickly.

“What happened? Why are you calling me here in such a hurry.”

Although Manor was in a bad mood, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Byleer.

“Merlot is in trouble! ! ”

When he saw Byleer's pale green face and solemn expression, Manor couldn't help but restrain his emotions. When Byleer told him the reason, Manor was even more surprised and quickly asked: “What happened to her? ”

Pa!

An exquisite hairpin was thrown over by Byleer. The place where the gemstone should have been inlaid was empty. It was a magical tool that the clan had spent a lot of money to purchase in order to protect Merlot when she was adventuring. The gemstone on it could activate an 8th-order protective spell--Crystal Shield.

Now that the gemstone is gone, it means that Merlot has used the spell stored in the gemstone.

Merlot is not a child who doesn't know what is important. She is very clear about how big the price of this gemstone is. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary and her life is in danger, she will never use this last life-saving method.

“An adventurer came to our fortress with this hairpin, saying that the Mad Wolf Adventure Team asked him to report the news. When they were carrying out a mission to hunt down human spies, they were ambushed by the human spies’ team! ! ”

“In the end, the entire Mad Wolf team was defeated, and the team members were scattered. Only the kobold assassin in the team escaped back to Mansa City.”

Byleer's tone was deep. The tribe has gradually prospered in business these years. The decline of the Snow Murloc tribe, which once weighed on their heads, has been replaced by the rise of the Ajina tribe. The only thing that is not good is that among the children in the tribe, there is still no goblin who can embark on the road of legend.

Over the decades, there have been no less than hundreds of geniuses in the clan who have had the opportunity to embark on the road of legend, but it is that unspeakable shackle that makes the so-called geniuses in the clan unable to find their own path, and eventually, with the passage of time, most of them have become the mainstay of the middle level of the tribe.

Until Merlot, this hobgoblin female, encountered a life-and-death choice in an adventure, and finally found her own path. When Byleer and Manor heard Merlot tell them the good news at the time, how happy were they! !

How could they not be happy? With Merlot's age of only 40 years old, it has basically been determined that she will be able to advance to the legend. When Merlot is promoted to the legend, plus the patriarch Byleer, who still has more than a hundred years of life, the tribe's situation will not be so dire.

What makes Manor especially gratified is that Merlot is from his family branch, which means that even if Manor's life is limited and he returns to the Styx, his family will make up for his vacancy because of Merlot, becoming the hope for the future of the family and helping the family maintain its existing position.

"What is that little bastard Terrence doing? Sending him to follow Melodii was to have him delay the enemy when necessary, to buy Melodii time to escape!!"

Mano had no other option but to be furious. Mansha City was thousands of miles away from Moore Fortress. Even if he was anxious and worried, he couldn't get there in a short time. He could only vent his anger on others.

"No, I have to go!!!"

"Wait!!"

Bileir saw Mano's anxious look and felt even more displeased. His tone became more stern as he shouted loudly.

"What's the use of you going like this? Do you know where they were attacked? Do you know the specific number of enemies?"

"This… then what do you say we should do?"

Mano looked up, his eyes fixed on Bileir.

"I brought you here to discuss countermeasures, didn't I?"

Although Bileir was equally anxious and worried, he had seen many storms after all, so he wouldn't show his emotions too obviously, and he didn't forget to appease Mano.

"I asked the adventurer who delivered the letter to us. This incident happened about a month and a half ago, at Os Canyon. There were a total of 6 humans chasing them, each of them being a peak High-Rank existence, including two spellcasters."

"The kobold assassin who escaped said in the letter that Terrence was killed by humans in order to buy Melodii time to escape. But his death ultimately allowed Melodii to avoid a fatal trap. At least before the kobold escaped, Melodii was still alive!!"

"That's good, that's good!!"

Mano's eyes lit up, and he said gratefully, "Blessed by the Goddess of Luck!!"

"The question now is, what should we do to help that girl Melodii!!"

Bileir brought the topic back.

"My plan is for you, or me, one of us to go south immediately, so we might still make it in time!!"

"I'll go!! The tribe can't do without you right now!!"

Mano stated on the spot, his will firm and not allowing refusal.

"It's okay for you to go, but I always feel that this matter is not that simple. I'm afraid that with your temper, you will fall into someone else's trap!!"

For some reason, a shadow always shrouded Bileir's heart, as if an invisible danger was waiting for them ahead.

"Chieftain, you are just too worried!! Don't you think, in the entire tribe, besides you and me, plus Terrence who accompanied Melodii on her travels, is there a fourth goblin who knows Melodii's identity!!"

"Their encounter this time is obviously just an accident!!"

"I hope so!!"

Compared to Mano's personality, Bileir was more cautious. However, he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out who would harbor such great hostility towards their tribe in this matter.

Could it be that I'm just overthinking things?

"After arriving at Mansha City, we need to seek the help of the Church of Nature and ask them to send a skilled tracker…"

"Ideally, persuade a Legendary to accompany you."

Time could not be delayed. Bileir and the others couldn't bear to lose Melodii, this future Legendary seedling, so the scene before them was inevitable. Bileir kept making arrangements for Mano to ensure everything was safe.

"Don't worry, if there really is a trap at that time, I'll run away immediately, that should be okay!!"

Although Mano was anxious, he also knew his significance to the tribe, and repeatedly made guarantees.

"Well, with those words from you, I can rest assured!!"

What made Bileir feel somewhat relieved was his confidence in Mano's strength. Although Mano had not yet broken through the mid-stage of Legendary, even if he wanted to defeat Mano, it would take at least half a day.

As for wanting to capture Mano, or kill Mano, that was almost impossible, unless they had a mythal, or some kind of closed environment, or 5-6 Legendaries attacked at the same time. Otherwise, when a Legendary is determined to escape, it is basically impossible for others to keep him.

"Then I'm leaving!!"

After receiving the supplies Bileir had prepared for him, Mano was anxious to leave.

"Be careful along the way!!! Keep your eyes open!!!"

Bileir couldn't help but exhort.

"Okay!!"

Mano flew away directly, the lingering sound slowly reaching Bileir's ears. Looking at the gradually shrinking figure in the sky, Bileir's eyes were gloomy.

After Mano left, Bileir still couldn't suppress the worry in his heart, and looked up to instruct a soldier: "Bring that adventurer up."

"Yes."

The burly gnoll walked down, and soon came back carrying a disfigured, scarred hyena-man.

"I ask you, are you sure…"

In order to buy every minute of life-saving time, Mano rushed towards Mansha City non-stop. When the energy in his body was exhausted and he couldn't fly, he landed on the ground and traveled on foot. When he was hungry and tired, he gritted his teeth and persevered, squeezing out even a trace of strength to walk two more miles.

When he really couldn't walk and needed to replenish his energy, Mano didn't care about the cost. Advanced stamina recovery potions and mental recovery potions were poured directly into his mouth, 4-5 bottles at a time, without feeling wasteful at all.

Under such persistence, the journey that would originally take a Legendary powerhouse 6-7 days to complete was shortened by Mano to a full 3 days.

However, although he was anxious, Mano still didn't forget Bileir's instructions and arrangements for him. After arriving at Mansha City, he immediately contacted the Church of Nature and sought their help.

While the high-level members of the Church of Nature were discussing, Mano also seized the time to recuperate properly. After all, the next development might require Mano to take action, so maintaining good physical function was a basic tactical skill for a qualified warrior.

Although the Church of Nature valued the Ajina tribe that had just been brought into their camp, it would be a bit unreasonable for them to send a Legendary for such a small matter.

During the two days that Mano rested, the Church of Nature activated its huge intelligence system and carefully investigated the relevant inside story of this matter in Mansha City, and indeed found no suspicious points.

In addition, among the high-level powerhouses of the church, except for the two or three guarding members stationed in Mansha City, most of the other powerhouses had their own tasks, or were just on vacation, in seclusion, etc.

In the end, the Church of Nature could only dispatch a priest with divine perception ability to go to the scene of the incident with Mano to investigate and track.

Of course, with the strength of the Church of Nature, it was certainly not easy to conscript Legendary powerhouses, but ordinary High-Rank battle squads were completely fine for the Church of Nature.

It's just that Mano was in a hurry to get to the scene of the incident thousands of miles away, and taking a priest who couldn't fly was already a burden, and taking a team of soldiers running on the ground would delay how much time.

Accident? Surprise?
