The northern province of Kislev, the border of Slavhof Fortress and the Troll Realm.

"My lord, if we go any further, we will be the territory of the trolls."

"Rookie, don't worry, we won't go too deep, because neither will the giant bears. As long as we take one back, we can have a good rest for ten days, ah~ I really miss those girls. ”

"But..... But ....."

"But what kind of rookie, although the adults are not the most powerful hunters in our Kislev, but the experience is not comparable to ordinary hunters, if there is any movement on the troll's side, we have already caught them, compared to the troll, our "invitation" and "treatment" are much more peaceful. ”

"yes, rookie, take it easy, we're here."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we've been here for twenty years."

“.........”

My name is Zognev, I am twenty-five years old today, I am a novice hunter who has just passed the test, everyone calls me a rookie, this is my third hunting mission, the target is a giant bear that only lives on the border of Kislev, the commission is the Berserk Cavalry Regiment, it is said that it is preparing for the upcoming war, so all the hunting commissions were placed in various border cities, a male adult bear is ten gold coins, the female is twenty-five gold coins, and the juvenile giant bear is five gold coins.

This hunting party is the top 3rd hunting group in the Slughof Fortress, and I was selected for my keen observation and long stamina during the test, and no matter what giant bear I catch this time, as long as I find it, then I will receive a commission fee of one gold coin, which can cover my father's treatment for at least half a year.

"Go rookie, since you're so worried, then give full play to your strengths, as long as one, we'll retreat! Waiting for your good news here. ”

Zogenev took a bottle of potion handed over by the regimental commander, carefully loaded it, and then jumped off the horse specially prepared for him and "squeak!" Creak! He stepped on the snow and walked towards the forest in front of him. This forest is called the Frost Forest, which is a landmark area for entering the country of trolls, but because of the thick trees and the huge area, the general trolls are reluctant to enter it, which really affects the play, so it has long been a paradise for adventurers, some people have made a fortune here, and some people have lost their lives with this, but now because the country has issued a mandatory recruitment order, it has become extremely deserted, except for the officially designated hunter group, no one or any team is allowed to go out of the border fortress of Kislev for any reason. This is one of the reasons why Zogenev is worried, because they are not only out of the fortress, but also about to enter the troll country, which is too dangerous, but for the sake of money, what can be done.

Before entering the forest, Zognev glanced back at the crowd who were all preparing to rest, took a deep breath and continued to walk inside. The trees in the Frost Forest are hard and thick, and they are very difficult to cut down, so they can maintain their current appearance. Zogenev carefully slowed his pace, listening carefully to the sounds of nature every few steps, hoping to find the bear's track as quickly as possible.

But Zogenev had only walked forward for about half an hour, and his steps began to grow heavier and heavier, not because he was tired, but because of fear. The inexplicable uneasiness and the erection of hairs on his body made him tremble involuntarily as if he were shaking lice. So he immediately hid behind a giant tree surrounded by at least ten people, trembled and took out the potion he got from the regimental commander, and then drank it in one gulp.

"Whew!! Call! Wheering ....... "The violent gasp slowly calmed down, and Zogenev returned to normal after a while, the hunter's potion, an expensive blessing potion, can calm the mind, make the body hot, and make the perception more acute, it can be said that this potion, which is the national elixir of Kislev, the nobles drink him as a drink, and the hunter as a life-saving potion. Zogenev closed his eyes and took advantage of the effects of the drug to begin to feel the source of his body's involuntary fear.

Why are there no birdsong, such as the "salsa" sound of the wind blowing the leaves, the "click" of the branches breaking when they can't withstand the weight of the snow, and the whistling of the wind through the forest, etc.?! Insect chirp?! Wolf howl?! And the "creaking" sound of animals walking in the snow!? Zogenev finally reacted, this was a frost forest, a huge forest that could feed several surrounding villages. If it is because there are adventurers all year round, it is understandable that there is no sound on the outskirts of the forest, and it is equally understandable that there is no sound after walking for half an hour, but now after drinking the hunter potion and still not hearing any movement, then there is really a problem, and it is impossible to hide from adventurers and even the insects and birds disappear.

In this cold and snowy world, Zogenev was instantly soaked with his own sweat, and he tugged at his neckline uneasily, trying to cool himself down, but due to the instant large amount of cold air entering his clothes, resulting in alternating hot and cold, Zogenev involuntarily sneezed.

"Squeak! Creak! The sound of something stepping on the thick snow reached Zogenev's ears like thunder.

"Goo-toot!" Zogenev swallowed stiffly, shivered and slowly exposed his head to the giant tree, and looked in the direction of the depths of the dense forest. I saw a tall, sturdy, hairy, and sharp wolf-headed man with a huge claw, and said in a hoarse voice, "Hello, human!" ”

"Ahhh Although the distance between the two was very far, Zogenev still subconsciously wanted to distance himself from him, but his legs were weak and he lay down directly on the ground, and then immediately struggled to get up and run away.

Zogenev swore that he had never run so vigorously, the surrounding flowers, trees and snow kept skimming around him, although he had gone astray, but the curling smoke rising from the sky pointed him in the direction, thanks to the effect of the hunter's potion to enhance perception, otherwise I really don't know where to run, just when Zogenev secretly rejoiced, his feet suddenly emptied, a cliff-like slope suddenly appeared at his feet, only looking at the wisps of green smoke in the sky, Zogenev fell down without accident.

Instead of the expected pain, but soft fur, Zogenev looked up and saw that he was in a small pit with a small area and a shallow depth, and in it were piled up dozens of huge corpses, which were the giant bear they were looking for.

"You've found out, human!" The hoarse voice appeared above Zogenev's head again, and he was so frightened that he pulled out his pistol and turned around "Bang!" The source of the sound was a shot, and the figure of the werewolf disappeared immediately, seizing the opportunity to run away with his legs. When his figure disappeared into the forest, the werewolf stood up again and said to himself, "Go, bring more people." As he spoke, a large number of strong figures gradually emerged from the forest behind him. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
