Kill 3 Salamanders (2/3)

Pushing the corpse in front of me aside, I sat on the ground a little embarrassed, there was a key lying on the ground that exuded a little light, I reached out and picked it up, and it was a familiar system sound, and gradually I had the illusion that maybe this voice could accompany me well, at least it was concerned, not alone in this world.

You've got a normal key, do you want to summon the chest right away?yes/no?

"Yes. I took a deep breath and opened the treasure chest, silently praying that something better could be opened, now that I was going to die because of my carelessness in the most elementary mission monsters, I didn't even dare to imagine what I would encounter in the future.

Very sharp sword, white equipment, attack +3, can be exchanged for 70 points

Lizard Blood: Used after leaving the battle, recover 30HP within 30s, which can be exchanged for 70 points

Lizard Core: A valuable item that can be exchanged for 60 points

I was a little discouraged when I saw the contents of the box, obviously these things were not as good as I expected, and even worse than the first box, I received the things into the tattoo space, got up from the ground, and continued to walk to the back of the waterhole, as I went deeper and deeper into the jungle it was so dense that the sunlight above my head was blocked, and there was no insect chirping around quietly, and gradually a cave appeared in front of my eyes.

I walked in, and unlike what I had expected, the walls of the cave were filled with torches, winding like a tunnel to something, and I held my sword and walked in, the light of the fire stretched my shadow very long, the torch crackled and burned, and gradually there was some conversation inside.

I stood and listened to the voices inside, which echoed through the long passage.

"Don't keep raising these monsters. ”

"You just don't care, stay at home with peace of mind!"

"No, the monsters you raise are out of your control at night, and if you continue like this, it will harm others. ”

"You're thinking too much!"

"No ......"

I could barely tell by the sound that one of them was an old woman and the other was a strange man, and their conversation gave me a very bold guess, but then the old woman's muffled snort interrupted my thoughts, and I ran quickly, and the footsteps echoed to be heard by the people inside.

"Who is it?"

In the deepest part of the cave, I saw the old woman being pushed to the side, there was a trace of blood on her head, it seemed that she had been pushed down and knocked on the rock, on both sides of the cave were iron cages, and inside were salamanders, but they were more irritable than the two I saw in the jungle, even in their eyes I could see the kind of primitive killing close to that of a beast, but they were afraid of the man standing in the middle of the cave, it was an extraordinarily burly, muscular man, three heads taller than me, and the aura exuding from my body made me dare not take a step forward。

"Why would you do such a thing to your mother-in-law. "I looked at the old woman, but fortunately there were no other wounds on her body, and it seemed that she had just passed out.

"She dares to hinder me, I am already merciful that I did not take a heavy hand on her, and you, if you are practical now, take her back, and get out of here, otherwise you will not end up better than her. The man looked at me contemptuously, the disdain in his eyes was clearly visible, and I was like an insignificant ant in front of him, who could crush me if he stretched out his hand.

......I gritted my teeth, but did not resist what he said, walked over, picked up the old woman, turned around and ran out.

What kind of feeling is that? There is a feeling that I have been defeated by justice, but my brain clearly knows that my choice, at least at the moment, is not wrong, if I rush up and fight with men for the sake of the so-called justice, my life is not guaranteed, and the best result is probably to be beaten and unable to move, or become the feed of those salamanders.

The old woman was on my back, and there was a wet sensation on my neck, the feeling of tears dripping on it, "Mother-in-law, are you awake?" I asked in a whisper.

"Iniquity...... How did I give birth to such a child......" The old woman's voice was very sad, not at all as kind as usual, I guessed more or less from what she said, that man may have been the proud monster hunter in her mouth, but what made him become the monster that he is now raising monsters on a large scale, even at the expense of having such a serious conflict with his own mother, what is he doing for what?

When I carried the old woman to the house, the sunset had begun, the old woman was obviously frightened and sad, and I couldn't bear to let her have to work hard to cook, so I took care of it, the cooking things in this era are still the stove, compared to let me make a bonfire, I think this is simply more difficult, it took a long time to make a fire with wood, my face was a little darker, a few dry coughs, there is obviously no big fish and meat in the house, simple vegetables, I boiled the water and put some salt on the pot, think about myself before I used to eat instant noodles and takeaway, I don't know what the taste of what I made, I tasted a bite and was barely OK, although it is not delicious, and it is not so bad that you can't eat it, at least you can fill your stomach.

After the dishes were served, I helped the old woman to sit at the table, she seemed to be much older, I didn't know how to ask her, so the meal was finished and relatively silent, she went back to the room early, I stayed and packed up the tableware and went back to the room, but what the man said in my mind, obviously he just pushed away the mother who was in the way of family affection, and was not ready to kill her, but let me take her, but what if it was me? It is estimated that it will really be like what he said, and the end will be even more miserable.

My mother-in-law once said that I should not be a monster hunter, that kind of regretful sigh, and sad eyes, now that I think about it, maybe I saw her son when I looked at me, can I understand that the once young and frivolous man has long regarded life as dust in countless killings, and the life of monsters and human beings is actually no different, and his heart has already been dyed with a layer of black that cannot be washed away by the so-called darkness.

I can't sleep over and over, it's very dangerous outside, obviously I can't go out, but I can't sleep with a lot of heart, outside is the cry of the beast, I don't know how long it took for the door to be slammed again, said to be slapping, but now I think it's actually the impact of the monster, I clenched the sword next to the bed, got up from the bed and half-squatted and looked out from the crack in the door, looking at the figure is about taller than the two I killed, the door that was hit firmly blocked the invasion of the monster, but the traces are clearly visible, I am holding the long sword tightly behind the door, if the monster breaks in, I will fight with it directly, I maintain the posture of holding the swordI didn't let go of my strength when my arm was slightly sore, it was a one-sided stalemate, and the sound of impact outside began to slowly become less frequent, and finally stopped, and I looked back at the other room, when did it start? When did an old man endure the restlessness of the night, and when did it begin to become a habit, this terrible habit, as if his life was not in his own hands, and like me, my life was controlled in that strange space where I didn't even know where.

Something in my heart was firm, but I didn't grasp that feeling, but I felt that I had the need, at least I had the responsibility to help this old woman, not out of some brave theory, it was simply an inexplicable sympathy, after a while, I pushed the door open, and then closed the door firmly, it was quiet outside, who would have thought that there was a monster here a few minutes ago.

I walked on the road in the morning without hesitation, this time, I did not feel sad for my actions, if there is a miracle in the world, I believe, I will meet the miracle called hope, not for justice, but the hope beating in my heart, I think brother, you will also support me, right, we are two big fools who never forget their original intentions.
