Chapter 213: Hunting and Tailgating

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

All kinds of monsters, countless, endless to kill.

When the spider-like multi-clawed monster hidden underneath the ground was blasted to death by me with an energy ball in the depths of the sand, two huge eagle-like monsters nearly swept me away. These two huge strange birds with a wingspan of more than ten meters are like the mythical Roc, and the sharp bird pecking makes people shudder. When they bite each other, they even bring a frightening sound of breaking the air, and it will definitely not be good to be caught.

I wasn't a match for two giant birds in the air, so I didn't hesitate to land.

When the two guys came in a hurry, I easily used two energy spears to show them how good I was. One of them was pierced through the skull by me and could not die again, and the other was pierced through the wings, and it was almost impossible to hit the rock.

The terrified giant bird screamed and ran away, but the attack on me was not over.

A huge monster like a mammoth emerged from the dust and threw its nose at my head without saying a word. I ducked over, but I didn't want this cunning fellow to be half-erect and trample on me without hesitation. The car-sized legs slammed into the ground causing a violent tremor that I easily avoided only to be blown in the face by the oncoming sand. After another hesitation, the sharp tusks nearly pierced me.

This guy's skin is pretty hard and thick, and my attacks have little effect on it. If it weren't for the fact that this guy wasn't fast and I found an opportunity to hit me in the eye, I wouldn't have been able to intercept me with just one giant beast. And the giant elephant I hit the vital point screamed in pain and fell into a rage. Its attack speed increased dramatically, turning the surrounding desert into a choking sandstorm.

In desperation, I sacrificed the Death Scythe. Only then did he reluctantly kill this terrible giant elephant in the head.

The formless, colorless ghost leopard, the lightning-fast giant scythe mantis, the terrifying burrowing worm that swept up from the ground like a black hole, the giant mole with its stinger that is difficult to attack, the huge toad that sprays like a machine gun with venom, and the terrifying demon ant that is as thin as silk hair but can nibble at even sand...... And so on and so forth. Endless monsters are like an incredible monster fair; I fought desperately in the hordes of monsters without mercy, but these countless monsters didn't seem to decrease at all. The variety of attacks is really overwhelming, and the unimaginable ways of attacking keep me on my toes and still exhausted. When countless monsters leave their bones here but are directly eaten by other monsters that come and go, even the biggest ones can't help but wonder in their hearts. I am like Zhao Zilong who is seven in and seven out of the military formation, and this moment is really dangerous and extremely heroic.

Can you imagine a one-eyed hornworm that shoots a poisonous needle out of its tail? Have you ever seen a strange baboon with its arms as hard as iron and long dragging directly on the ground? Have you noticed that instead of hurting people with its tail, the giant poisonous scorpion shoots out countless paralyzing powders from its carapace? There are all kinds of monsters here, and all of them are extremely powerful and difficult to resist at all. If I hadn't been lucky enough to be much stronger, I might have been a pile of bones by this time.

The environment in front of us is harsher than ever.

But on the other hand, the situation in front of me has made me feel more relaxed than I have ever been. Kill animals and insects. These are completely different concepts from killing. I would not hesitate to take out any monster that dared to take the lead, but I would not do anything to the so-called enemy who was also human.

There are only monsters here, and I have no burden to kill.

So when I was in high spirits and more excited to kill, these countless monsters were frightened. Before I knew it, the gap around me was getting bigger and bigger, and all kinds of monsters retreated and didn't rush towards me like they had just now. And when I jumped up and slashed down some strange monster that looked like a tiger and a black bear, all the other monsters immediately stopped attacking, as if I was frightened.

They quietly surrounded me in the middle, but none of them took the initiative again.

"Hey...... I sneered and wiped the blood from the splatters on my face, feeling the burning heat seem poisonous. But I simply ignored it.

"Roar!"

A huge long-necked dragon-like monster roared as if to say something, and the other monsters looked at me and took a few steps back. In my stunned gaze, the monsters turned their backs on me and turned their heads and ran. Before I could react to the pursuit, these guys who were rushing over to find trouble actually used all kinds of means to sneak out in the blink of an eye.

Drilling. Flying, fleeing with their tails between their legs, all the monsters quickly ran away.

This scene stunned me. I didn't expect these monsters to choose to run away. They should seem to be brave, how could they make such a choice?

Could it be that wild beasts also watch people cook?

That's right, too! Even the beasts of Earth are able to sense a threat and choose to retreat. Not to mention these powerful monsters that seem to be a little smarter.

When they couldn't beat me again, they chose to leave.

But...... Aren't these monsters controlled by the mysterious beings in that mysterious altar?

It is said that they should be controlled by the other party. How is it possible to run away without permission? Or did that mysterious being choose to retreat after discovering that he couldn't kill me?

I'm a little curious.

Originally, I just didn't want to see the mission fail, but I didn't want to see the more human-like orcs being killed by a group of savage monsters. But now seeing the reaction of these monsters, I have an even greater curiosity in my heart. These monsters, what's behind them?

Is this strange Edwinson Desert really a land that is inherently inhospitable and isolated?

Hades sent me on a mission and teleported me here really so that I could protect these orcs from extinction?

Or did he already know about these monsters, and he knew that I would be able to spot this anomaly as long as I came over, so he asked me to solve it in this way?

The third one is the most likely, but it doesn't feel good at all to be controlled like this.

Why did Hades do this? Why didn't he explain things to me? Is there a connection between the Dreadlord Sodrensus, who is sealed in the Shadow Forest, and another mysterious being in the Great Desert of Edwinson, who is also sealed?

I had more doubts in my heart, and at the same time I was more curious.

Anyway, the orc matter has basically been settled, and probably nothing will change, anyway, I can only wait for the plants to mature, so I decided to end the mission on the orc's side and follow these monsters to the mysterious altar to investigate. If I could, I would like to be able to find out what the purpose of Lord Hades was sending me here in this way; Or what kind of secret is hidden in the whole realm, or in the two places I've been to the Shadow Forest and Edwinson......

This kind of adventure is much more interesting than staying in the sun and enjoying the sun while working hard to farm.

Say hello to Hatsue Misaka and signal her to follow, I don't even have the interest to say goodbye to the orcs, and quickly chase the monsters towards the location of the mysterious altar.

Unsurprisingly, Hatsue Misaka followed behind me, and all the orcs were shocked by the scene in front of them and didn't react for a while. Lyle Birch and Charlene looked at each other with some hesitation, but due to various circumstances, the two of them were patient and did not choose to leave.

At this point, the entanglement between me and the orcs seems to have come to an end.

When I took the initiative to leave, I gave up my kindness to them, so that the orcs would not owe me anything. Naturally, their future development has nothing to do with me, and my plan to build the strongest army with the talent and strength of the orcs is even more stillborn.

But...... None of that matters, does it?

I didn't think of orcs as exploits from beginning to end, and it's not unacceptable to separate at this point.

Shaking my head and putting aside the orc matter and the myriad questions I hadn't understood, I searched for the monsters as fast as I could, and cautiously followed them into the depths of the desert. Even if I didn't have any food with mere water, I didn't think that a single desert would be able to trap me in what I was now strong enough to do. Not to mention that Hatsue Misaka is following me closely, isn't it? Although she doesn't like to talk very much, she is definitely a good partner to rely on.

Gee...... Thinking that Misaka Hatsue will return to her world soon, I'm still a little reluctant!

I just don't know what Misaka Hatsue thinks about himself. It's important to go back and rescue all her sisters, but it's freer and more dignified here, isn't it? No one here thinks of her as a replicant, but once she returns to the Forbidden World......

Forget it, it's too early to think about it.

Shaking my head and putting these thoughts aside, I carefully searched the desert for the traces left by the monsters. The damn desert was the same everywhere, and the trail of the monsters was quickly covered by quicksand almost in the blink of an eye. If you don't look carefully, a fork in the road is almost inevitable. And their speed ...... It seems to be a little faster than I thought!

I didn't have time for anything else, so I searched in the harsh desert.

I didn't notice that Hatsue Misaka, who was silently following me, put his hand into the pocket of his pants with an expressionless face. Something seemed to be quietly glowing there, and as we got closer to the altar, it grew brighter and brighter. (To be continued......)
