(This kind of monster can be seen from the east, and judging from the direction, news from the capital may have come. And no one in our secret team noticed it. Naturally, we should think that it was caused by a third party using special powers...)

After summarizing his thoughts, Ridley turned to Greg and the others: "Greg, and Oliver. Excuse me, can I trouble you for a moment? Inform the situation and then gather other adventurers."

"Ah, okay!" Ridley left quietly, and soon after, a monster appeared from the east. It was the Minotaur, and anyone who saw it could see it clearly. Cece covered her mouth in surprise.

This was not surprising. The monster that was slowly walking towards them was so huge that it was no exaggeration to describe it as a "monster". It could easily crush the surrounding houses.

The King Minotaur came excitedly. It panted heavily, made heavy footsteps, and walked slowly. A strong sense of oppression and fear came over. Everyone had a painful expression on their face, and almost everyone was trembling.

"Is it impossible to avoid fighting?" Greg said as he drew his sword. Then -

"Hiss!"

With a majestic scream, Slakic leaped forward. Then he threatened the Minotaur. This was not bluffing. Nor was it fear. It was a gesture of bravery.

While most people were surprised by Slakic, Greg smiled a little stiffly, but he also laughed: "Wow, Slakic is very motivated."

"I can go too!" Ceci followed Slakic out. Although she remained quite nervous, her eyes were firmly fixed on the Minotaur.

“I am one of the adventurers. I will never run away!”

"Hiss!"

As Ceci said this, Slakic also shouted, as if to express his agreement. Greg was a little confused when he heard this, but soon smiled slightly.

“Although it’s a bit reckless, it’s very courageous. I like this.”

Greg walked over to Ceci and Slakic, no longer shaking.

"I'll join you. Let's show that big guy our strength!"

"good!"

"Hiss!"

Seeing Greg drawing his sword, Ceci and Slakic answered excitedly.

Alicia, Oliver, and Connie also tightened their expressions and prepared their weapons. At the same time, a magician who escaped with them said tremblingly: "I, I want to retreat! We are no match for them at all!!"

“Wait, wait a minute…”

The magician hurriedly ran deep into the woods. This direction was completely opposite to the village. Connie tried to stop him, but the magician had already disappeared into the jungle.

Looking at the bewildered Connie, Oliver said, "Don't worry about him, Connie. He's just a nuisance there. Jill, I'm sorry, about Russell..."

"I know. I'll continue searching here. Alicia, be careful."

"Um!"

Hearing Alicia's answer, Jill jumped onto the tree with a confident smile, and then moved as if jumping between trees.

Then, Greg still drew his sword and looked at the young swordsman: "Go back to the village and tell the other companions about this."

"I understand. Please don't die, okay?"

"Don't treat me like a fool." Greg replied with a smile on his face, and the young swordsman smiled back, then ran towards the village, leaving five people to confront a monster.

"Well - let's have a go!" Greg shouted, and the King Minotaur let out a deafening roar.

------------------

"Hmm? Is that a sound... a monster's cry?"

While Xu Zhen was talking to Lesak, he suddenly heard a heavy roar. Looking at Xu Zhen with a confused expression, Lesak smiled: "Hehehe...it seems that the drama over there has also become very exciting."

"what are you saying?"

"Please don't mind. Let's enjoy the drama here too." Lesak smiled, and Xu Zhen narrowed his eyes. He felt a little uneasy in the other party's undisguised smile, but he laughed again immediately -

"I don't want to. Who will go with you?" he said without hesitation. Facing his unwavering voice and firm gaze, Lesak seemed to close his eyes somewhat contentedly.

"Is that so? Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Lesak raised his palm and made a helpless gesture with a bitter smile. Xu Zhen was surprised that he gave in so easily. He thought he would be pestered endlessly.

"...Ah, is that all?" Xu Zhen couldn't help but ask. He regretted it instantly, but Lesak still smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have heard your answer. I have no intention of asking further."

I expected it. He seemed to have heard such a whisper. Xu Zhen tilted his head in confusion, but Lesak had already stood up.

"Well... I've stayed here too long. I have to leave." After saying that, Lesak quickly walked towards the window.

"Ah, you're just leaving like that?"

"I really can't stay here any longer. After all, I am the mastermind behind this commotion."

Xu Zhen couldn't help asking, and Lesak answered with a wry smile. After hearing this, Xu Zhen suddenly realized.

He had completely forgotten about it. Recalling that Lesak was the kind of dangerous person who could calmly use magic to frame people, he surprisingly did not feel scared. Instead, he felt a personal interest in Lesak.

"Oh, by the way. One last thing I want to ask you—"

Just as Lesak opened the window and was about to jump out, he turned around. Then, Lesak smiled and raised his index finger: "Just stay where you are now. Keep moving forward."

Xu Zhen stood there blankly. It was Lim who answered for him, tilting her head slightly.

"What do you mean?" Xu Zhen was about to reach out to ask, but Lesak waved his hand briskly.

"Well, goodbye!" After saying that, Lesak jumped out of the window lightly. Xu Zhen hurriedly looked out the window, but the wine-red robe was gone.

"He left...it was really just a chat and that was it."

“Coo.”

As Xu Zhen muttered to himself, Lim stood on his shoulder and answered. Although he knew that Lesak was the mastermind behind the incident, Xu Zhen still couldn't really regard him as an enemy.

Although he was not a friend, he did not have any aversion to them. On the contrary, he even felt that they were more approachable than those who claimed to be righteous.

“If I see him somewhere next time, I might take the initiative to go up and talk to him.”

Xu Zhen whispered this while gently stroking Lim's back as she sat on his shoulders. He didn't notice the heavy footsteps approaching and gently closed the window.
