Chapter 31 (On the Thrilling Road)

"I didn't expect our destination to be a place!!hahaha!!" Quidley, the same mercenary who had laughed at the undead and the young man before, sat on a BMW, laughing.

“... Together will only be trouble..."In the midst of Quaidli's laughter, suddenly there was an ethereal, eerie, cold, emotionless voice that was unique to skeleton undead. Quaidli choked on and almost choked to death.

"Lord Deklaas, please don't say that. You know, the ruins of Skogrema are an extremely dangerous place, and of course the more people, the better!!" said the young man named Shodrep, who had proposed that the three teams of men and horses share a guide, smiled.

It turned out that the mysterious third team was none other than Deklaas and Messna, who had set out from the city of Colreas to find the ruins of Skogrema. It's just that now the two of them are very reluctant to be with those noble children and those mercenaries. But there is only one guide, and there is no way but to be with them.

“... If I were you... I'm going to give up this family trial... And don't be with people you don't know... That's no different from sending him to death...", Deklaas looked at Shodrep unpleasantly, and said coldly and strangely.

"Alright!!Lord Deklas!!You're a necromancer!!How can you be cowardly!!!" Wella, the little girl who saw the undead for the first time, frowned very cutely and said to Deklaas.

“... Timid... You're older... You'll see what I mean... Now your knowledge is still too shallow," Deklaas said helplessly.

Riding horses and undead horses, everyone chatted without saying a word while hurrying away. Deklaas and Messna, as well as the oldest mercenary, are not in a good mood.

This kind of roadside gangster, although common, was not a good choice this time, after all, they were going to the ruins of an ancient temple in danger. Aren't the mechanisms and miracles inside imaginable!! Partnering in this situation is undoubtedly finding a way to kill yourself!!

After walking for more than three hours in the heavy rain, the rain slowly stopped. At this time, Deklaas and the others' guides, Hull suddenly pointed to a forest not far away, and said to everyone: "Bosses, we are almost at the ruins of Skogrema, and we will pass the forest in front." It's just that there are some strange things in this woods, which are very dangerous, so you should be as careful as possible!

"Black goat cubs??" Messna, who had heard Deklaas tell about "Shab Nicholas", immediately remembered the black goat cubs, the son of God, in those stories, when she heard Hull say that there was something strange in the woods.

"No, the things in the woods aren't terrible like black goat cubs. If there were them in the woods, I wouldn't have taken you to the ruins of Skogrema!!" Hearing Messna mention the children of gods like the black goat cubs, the children of the nobles and the oldest mercenaries were all surprised. However, the guide Hull smiled and explained.

Indeed, if there really were black goat cubs, something with divine blood, they would not be able to come, and it would be impossible for the two empires that regarded this place as a border line to sit idly by. You must know that the black goat cub is not only aggressive, but it can ignore the attack of magic, and melee combat with it is undoubtedly looking for death. Moreover, it is an extremely ferocious carnivorous son of the gods, and its threat is huge. If left unchecked, no matter which country it is, it is a huge threat!!

“... All right... Don't rub around here... We need to hurry up..."After a moment's thought, Deklaas urged the crowd. He didn't want to stay here any longer, because he found something mysterious and evil, chasing them after them. This was noticed by Messna, Quaidli and others.

"Why... Drive~~!!" Wella's brother Wesker didn't understand what Deklaas meant, and wanted to ask. But before he could ask, he realized the evil thing. Immediately he flung the reins, leaped his horse, and galloped into the woods.

Seeing this, the crowd did not stay any longer, as if they had run into the woods and disappeared. Deklaas and Messena paused for a moment, and then followed the group into the woods.

The woods here are weird, all the trees are like the ghost trees in the storybooks, they are very hideous!!, but these are just strange trees, and they are not as scary as the unknown thing behind them.

"Brother!!What's that thing in the back!??Why are you following us!?" Wella asked her brother Wesker, yelling at her brother Wesker, riding on a galloping horse.

However, even with a roar, Wesker didn't hear what Wella was asking. Still, he could guess that his sister was asking about the thing behind her.

"I don't know!!, just run!!

Wesker simply replied, and concentrated on controlling the horses so that they did not slow down. But these noble sons and mercenaries rode alive horses, not undead horses like Deklaas and Mesina. So soon the horses were a little exhausted, and the speed naturally slowed down.

Still, their luck was bad enough. As soon as the horses showed signs of physical exhaustion, several tentacles with sharp spikes suddenly rushed out of the ground in front of them, sweeping towards them sharply!!

"What !?" As soon as they saw the tentacles, the mercenaries and the children of the nobles burst out one after another, only Deklaas and Messna, and the guide Hull did not fluctuate.

All three of them carefully controlled their horses, passing through the gaps in their tentacles. When they saw the nobles and mercenaries again, almost all of them were wounded, and the blood kept dripping all the time, which looked terrifying!!

And I don't know if it's a joke of the goddess of fate, they just experienced the attack of the tentacles, and a few very strange-looking fishmen appeared in front of them!!! They held harpoons and looked at the people of Deklaas very viciously, as if they were going to eat them!!

Looking at the fish-men with fish bodies, human limbs, fangs, and murderous eyes in the eyes of dead fish, Weina and the others were shocked! After all, fish-people are very dependent on water!!
