Green Monster Epic

Chapter 661 Valley

… … … …

In an unknown wilderness valley, a touch of orange-red light was so conspicuous in the dark night.

"Ha, so hot!!"

The goblin female, Kerr, without any ladylike image, grimaced as she took the dinner off the bonfire. The huge roast beef leg in her hand was almost half her weight, yet it was only enough to barely fill her stomach.

In the distance, the figures of wild beasts flickered, but they did not dare to approach. Those were several Ironback Bears attracted by the fragrant roast meat.

In the eyes of wilderness adventurers, the Ironback Bears, which must be dealt with carefully, were instead met with a teasing look in Kerr's eyes, who was holding a huge piece of roast meat. She provocatively blew a scent towards the Ironback Bears, for fear that these irrational fellows could add some fun to her dinner.

After gaining complete freedom, Kerr, the legendary goblin powerhouse, concealed her strength and identity over the years, transforming into an ordinary adventurer wandering around the wilderness. Even when the news spread throughout the wilderness that her teacher had been promoted to a demigod and the tribe held a grand celebration for her teacher, she never thought of going back to personally congratulate Allen.

Kerr, who had suppressed her temper in the tribe for more than a hundred years, finally had the chance to live freely. Kerr didn't want to go back to the tribe so soon.

Although in the eyes of others, Kerr, this legendary powerhouse, actually lived a carefree life in the Green Field Tribe without too many restrictions, only Kerr herself knew that she actually had a lot of things to worry about every day, such as not losing her composure in front of the students and maintaining the dignity of a teacher; for example, she needed to keep a straight face so that outsiders would not underestimate her, etc…

How could it be like now, when she could shout loudly if she wanted to, and tear into the roast meat if she wanted to. This was the freedom and ease in Kerr's mind.

Moreover, during the adventure, Kerr could feel the true thoughts of her companions, instead of facing those cubs in the tribe who were eager to curry favor with her, unable to see their true inner thoughts.

Anyway, as long as the teacher didn't send someone to send her a letter asking her to go back, then Kerr planned to continue to muddle along in the wilderness in her current state. Her strength was steadily improving, especially when she finally completely mastered the two legendary feats, Mental Focus and Iron Will, which were chosen for her by her teacher. Kerr finally stood on the threshold of the legendary high rank, becoming one of the top existences in the wilderness.

However, Kerr didn't tell Allen this news. After all, before her breakthrough was stable, she heard the news that her teacher had been promoted to a demigod. Compared with her teacher's progress, her little achievement was nothing. Feeling embarrassed, Kerr simply hid the news, and no one knew about her breakthrough.

The life of adventure was wonderful. Although Kerr mostly took on tasks that required top adventure teams to take on due to her concealing her strength, the rewards were certainly good, but they needed to be divided among people, and they were somewhat of a tasteless rib in the eyes of legendary powerhouses.

It was just that Kerr herself didn't care about the so-called rewards. With various equipment given by her teacher and various resources collected by the tribe, Kerr had never worried about these material things since returning from the Graveyard of the Disorder.

Therefore, what other legendary powerhouses saw as tasteless rewards, Kerr saw as the opportunity to go with other adventure teams to hunt down foreign invaders, hunt down elusive magical beasts, and explore unfamiliar places…

Rarely, Kerr received a mission from the Assassin's Guild to intercept a human legendary powerhouse. One reason was that Kerr's hands were itching and she wanted to find a suitable opponent to practice with; the other reason was that she was interested in a legendary feat crystal given by this mission -- Super Berserk, which she could give to her teacher as a celebration gift after she learned it.

Of course, in addition to this, Kerr had also accumulated a lot of ordinary battle job inheritance crystals and knowledge books from her adventure missions and explorations over the years. Sending these to her teacher together with the legendary feat inheritance, he would definitely like it very much.

Kerr knew her teacher's character and preferences very well. He rarely had much interest in external things. Even for legendary equipment and props, Allen was more accustomed to wearing the existing ones. On the contrary, these things that had a major impact on the development of the tribe were more attractive to him.

This time, the mission target was very cautious and careful. Although he was not an advanced thief, he had rich adventure experience and a strong reconnaissance awareness. Kerr had spent a lot of effort tracking him all the way. Among them, she had to thank the Assassin's Guild for the intelligence support given at the transfer points from time to time, which allowed Kerr to keep biting the other party's tail.

In addition to Kerr herself, she heard that there were also four or five wilderness legends who were interested in intercepting this human legend who suddenly appeared in the wilderness. However, according to Kerr's own observation, she had only found a team of three wilderness legends so far. As for the remaining two legendary powerhouses, she had not yet noticed their existence.

Kerr had no intention of cooperating with other wilderness powerhouses. According to the basic information provided by the Assassin's Guild, the mission target was a legendary early-stage bard. Although this was a very rare advanced profession, it was also a very tasteless profession in Kerr's opinion.

As an advanced swordsman, the bard's advantage lies in being able to cast some enhancement magic to improve the combat effectiveness of his companions, but in actual combat, he is much worse than the dual-wielding swordsman and sword dancer who advanced from the same swordsman, whether in terms of flexibility or speed advantage.

The reason why it is difficult to see the existence of bards in the wilderness is that the warriors of the wilderness think that fancy magic is really not to their taste. They prefer the sense of hitting with real swords and guns, fist to fist.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that few warriors in the wilderness have the talent to cast spells.

Kerr felt that with her strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to take down this bard. As long as she gave herself an unexpected opportunity to severely damage the opponent with absolute power advantage, the rest would be easy.

The only thing that worried Kerr was not her mission target this time, but the several wilderness powerhouses who were intercepting the humans with her.

While devouring the roast meat in her hand, Kerr was conceiving her plan in her mind. Even the several Ironback Bears outside the darkness who finally couldn't bear the smell of food and sneaked up in front of her were ignored by her.

Da da!! Da da!!

Light and messy footsteps suddenly sounded and reached Kerr's ears, finally pulling her consciousness back from her contemplation.

"Humph! I originally wanted to spare your lives, but you don't have long eyes!!"

Kerr's eyes flickered with excitement. She tore off a large piece of roast meat and casually threw the roast meat lightly, hanging it on the grill, swinging back and forth.

Meanwhile, Kerr's slender legs were already striding forward. Without drawing her weapon, she charged empty-handed towards the Ironback Bear.

Bang!

The Ironback Bear, weighing over a thousand pounds, was lifted off its feet by Kerr's waist grab. Before its gaping, foul-smelling maw could bite her, Kerr twisted, sending the heavy bear flying in a graceful arc through the air.

Thwack! Thwack!

"Roar!!"

Another Ironback Bear, seizing the opportunity while Kerr grappled with its companion, slammed its sharp claws into Kerr's side. But the expected wound or heavy blow never materialized. Kerr's Black Dragon scale armor didn't even show a scratch. A retaliatory elbow strike landed squarely on the Ironback Bear's sensitive nose. A shrill, agonizing scream erupted, only to be abruptly cut short. A glance revealed that half the bear's face was gone, caved in by Kerr's casual elbow.

The remaining three Ironback Bears, which had been blindly charging forward, gradually slowed their pace upon hearing their companion's piercing shriek. Their animal instincts finally kicked in, and they emitted low, threatening growls.

"Sigh, how boring!!"

Kerr, heavily influenced by the Oak Church's teachings, disliked unnecessary killing, even if it was just a few beasts.

It was simply that the night was too dull. It was rare for a few beasts to be so foolish as to try to harm her, so she had decided to play around a little. But with her current strength, the Ironback Bears' attacks were far too weak. Kerr didn't even need to put in real effort to easily dispatch two of the bears. She had already lost interest in the remaining three.

"Scram!!"

Her legendary aura erupted outwards, rushing towards the three Ironback Bears, instantly terrifying them into a frantic retreat.

Just then, a chilling killing intent suddenly targeted Kerr's unprotected neck. Caught off guard, Kerr sensed the danger almost instantly. Unable to draw Blackfire from her dimensional pouch in time, she remained calm, performing a backbend to evade the incoming attack. Simultaneously, she threw two punches behind her, but the empty sensation indicated she had missed her target.

Less than a meter above her, a dark figure descended with two glints of cold light. Kerr continued to arch her back, lashing out with two kicks.

"Got it!!"

A beam shot from an angle, striking Kerr's body. Instantly, her agile body felt as if weighed down by tens of thousands of pounds, causing her to sink involuntarily, her kicks becoming heavy and slow.

The dark figure above her, without hesitation, thrust the cold light in its hand downwards. If it hit, Kerr would likely meet her end there, given the attack's demonstrated ferocity.

"Ha!!"

Kerr was exceptionally strong-willed. Realizing the danger the moment the beam struck her, she activated her Berserk skill without hesitation. At the same time, she finally found an opportunity. Gripping the hilt of her beloved partner, she forcefully twisted her contorted body once more, and Blackfire stabbed upwards from the ground beside her.

Clang!!

Sizzle!!!!!

Two sparks flashed, fleeting and ephemeral. Kerr, whose Black Dragon scale armor had been breached, barely dodged the fatal blow. A Storm of Blackfire turned her into a whirlwind of blades, lashing out at the dark figure beside her.

Pfft!!

The figure flickered, and a Shadowstep instantly removed it from the battlefield. The Storm of Blackfire only tore through an illusion.

"Go!!"

Boom!!!!

Giant vines, flailing wildly, rose from the ground, perfectly timed to intercept the end of Kerr's Storm of Blackfire. Although some of the vines were instantly shredded, several others wrapped around Kerr's lower body.

Kerr ignored them, flying straight into the sky. With the Berserk skill activated, her strength was unparalleled, and the vines could not restrain her movements.

Whoosh!!

A black bolt of lightning suddenly shot towards her, the sharp wind pressure ruffling the hair on Kerr's forehead. The broad Blackfire blade transformed into a shield, blocking Kerr's path.

Clang!!

Boom!!

Although the heavy sword blocked the heavy arrow shot from an unknown location, Kerr was still slammed back down to the ground by the arrow's immense force, landing at an angle. The added weight from the Gravity Ray created a deep crater in the ground.

"Sok… …"

The spellcaster, finally revealing their location, stood far away on the hillside, two hundred meters away. A spell immediately landed in the crater, and crystal-clear ice rapidly sealed the crater and the surrounding dozens of meters, the thickness of the ice visibly increasing.

Kerr, who had been smashed into the ground, seemed motionless for the moment, but in reality, it gave her a chance to catch her breath.

After catching her breath, Kerr waved her arm, and the ice around her creaked and groaned before shattering into ice flowers, crushed into powder. A ball of fire flickered on Blackfire's blade, the magical energy originating from the mysterious ore in the Graveyard absorbing the blood from the wounds on Kerr's body, causing the flames on the blade to burn even brighter.

Thud!!!!

The heavy sword stabbed fiercely into the ice, the multiple layers of force from the Threefold Wave Sword Technique erupting one after another, making it the perfect technique to break through the ice.

Just as cracks began to appear on the ice, an energy started to slowly repair it. However, Kerr couldn't just sit and wait for the ice to re-freeze her, so she pulled herself out and burrowed into the ground.

The moment her head barely poked out, an ice arrow the size of a small stream rained down from the sky above.

"Hmph!!"

Kerr backhanded Blackfire, slashing upwards, carrying her body straight towards the tip of the ice arrow.

Whoosh!!

An armor-piercing arrow shot from afar, aiming for Kerr's eye socket. Her eyes fierce, displaying her bloodthirst, Kerr tilted her head slightly, not dodging, but directly opening her mouth and biting down hard.

Crunch!!

Amidst the ear-piercing grinding sound, the powerful armor-piercing arrow was actually bitten in half by Kerr's teeth. The wooden shaft couldn't withstand the impact of the colliding energies and exploded, sending splinters into Kerr's face, making her look like a hedgehog.

Of course, Kerr's tongue, as well as the four incisors on her upper and lower jaws, were also directly shattered. Before a mouthful of blood could be spat out, it was swallowed by Blackfire, turning into a trickle that fed back to Kerr.

However, behind these costs, Kerr's resolute Sky Cleaving strike finally collided with the massive ice arrow above her.

Boom!!

Within a hundred-meter radius, the space suddenly filled with white mist, and the temperature plummeted by dozens of degrees. Kerr's figure also disappeared into the white mist.
