The Great Demon King

Chapter 45 "Move when he should do it "

After emerging from the grave of death, Han Shuo returned on his original path, but the sky was completely clear in the middle of his return journey. When he returns to the original campsite, according to his memory, he discovers that the necromancy students have long since moved away.

Just as Han Shuo was about to curse out loud, he suddenly saw the appearance of his surroundings. He found that the ash in the area with the campfire did not look like them from last night, but more like they had been there for a few days.

Han Shuo's tent area had been filled with many resources, but now there was nothing left. Only a few stones were stacked in a triangular formation.

His interest was piqued, Han Shuo quickly walked into the tent area. He took out a dagger and carefully flipped the center of the stone, picking up a yellow piece of paper after a while.

“Bryan, on the second day of your departure, we found traces of two man-eating monsters nearby. We were worried that the man-eating monster would take revenge and decided not to wait for you. When you look at these records, return to the academy in a genuine way. Maybe we'll meet halfway. Hope you're safe and sound, Fanny. ”

Fanny left that message. Han Shuo patted his head after reading it and quietly said, “Oh no!”. After reading the note, Han Shuo understood that a lot of time must have passed unknowingly as he practiced magic, and not just a day.

It seemed like two man-eating monsters had appeared and caused Fanny and the others to panic. Add to that he was already deep in the southern region of the Dark Forest and without Clark's protection, they had no choice but to resign to return on their original path.

Currently, Han Shuo's slave status was still unresolved, and the woman he wanted was still in the Babel School and Magic Academy, along with some of the magic magic books he wanted to study. He will not be able to leave the Academy anytime soon.

With six magic canes, Han Shuo could come and go from the grave of death in his spare time. He could actually use the transportation matrix to make the burial his personal territory after he returned to the Academy. The entire southern part of the Dark Forest would be his training field in the future. Whether it was the magic yuan or the training of magic spells, half of that amount would lead to double the effectiveness in a place like this.

Pondering for a bit, Han Shuo followed the remaining instructions on Fanny's note and followed the original path, quickly moving towards the outskirts of the Dark Forest.

Even though he was traveling without rest for a day, Han Shuo actually did not feel tired at all. Moving through the winding and bumpy paths of the Dark Forest, Han Shuo's speed was lightning-fast, like a magical creature hunting its prey.

He approached an area of rocks and bushes scattered randomly around dusk. This was the area where they had camped before. The sounds of metal clashing sounded from the distance.

Han Shuo was startled, thinking ‘Could it be that Fanny and the others were attacked by man-eating monsters?’ When he thought about this, his speed increased and he suddenly flew towards the area of rocks and bushes.

Along the way, many forest trolls with shimmering green skin, towering bodies, grimacing faces, and holding blades or studded sticks repeatedly attacked Han Shuo. He easily avoided them all.

The forest trolls were a race within the Dark Forest who were mortal enemies with the elves. The Elves treated them as forest robbers and continued to attack them.

Inside the Dark Forest, forest trolls were even more fearsome robbers than man-eating monsters. Not only did they adhere to strict rules of conduct, but they also divided themselves according to the methods that mankind used into warriors, hunters, and even priests who could use some simple magic.

It is said that forest trolls evolved from plants and trees. They had high intelligence, similar to humans, and enjoyed some unique advantages within the Dark Forest. They took advantage of this advantage to plunder the resources of other races, including the cargo of some traveling merchants. They were notorious bandits and robbers like man-eating monsters.

Han Shuo listened carefully to the sounds of the battle and quickly darted towards the direction they were coming from. Along the way, several forest troll hunters threw out long spears, and they flew towards Han Shuo's backbone with a hissing sound. Han Shuo's five senses were extremely sensitive as he ran. As his ears twitched, he changed the direction of his body several times and easily avoided the long spear that had been thrown.

A few forest troll warriors holding large and sharp axes shouted loudly as they rushed towards Han Shuo, but before they reached him, Han Shuo had already quickly dashed past him and continued towards the center of the action.

After ten seconds of running extremely fast, Han Shuo finally managed to reach the peak of the battle. He saw about ten people wielding long swords, defending themselves against the attacks of the forest trolls. Their dresses clearly signified them as part of a mercenary band. They all looked like they were suffering from some sort of injury.

There were about ten forest trolls around. Troll warriors handled close combat up front, while about ten troll hunters continuously threw long spears. The last five priest trolls cast simple healing magic and soul fire to increase endurance, healing the wounds of the warriors and hunters while increasing their vitality.

Judging from this scene, the fight had lasted for a while. The battle power of about ten humans is also incredible, but it is unfortunate that forest trolls hold power in numbers, and they have missile fighters in the form of troll hunters, as well as troll healing types. the combination priest of the three was suitable against a mercenary band of just warriors. Coupled with the superiority of the strength of the forest trolls, it was clear that they had an absolute advantage.

The short fat stock, with a full fat face, was behind the mercenaries. Her yellow bean-like little eyes moved swiftly as she cursed loudly. He seems to be looking for a way out.

So it's not Fanny and them .. It looks like this has nothing to do with me. Han Shuo thought as he immediately put this tableau event out of his mind. He had no thoughts of joining the fray and helping out, and intended to just pass these people and continue his path to exit the Dark Forest.

“Sorry, I just passed by and will be leaving soon. Continue to rob them. It has nothing to do with me! ”

Han Shuo did not want any new complications to appear, so when he saw the troll warriors rushing towards him, he shouted loudly and tried to leave and avoid them.

“Man is the most cunning and evil of all races. Kill her. ”Standing beside the troll priests outside, the forest troll leader of this operation suddenly shouted loudly with the common language (human language) of the Continent.

The troll warriors had paused for a moment after hearing Han Shuo's words, but lost their doubt upon hearing their leader's words and came rushing over with axes raised.

Damnit damnit! They seek death! Han Shuo was also slightly hacked. He had just dodged the long spear throw when the tall and large troll warriors rushed over with their battleaxes. They obviously planned to also take care of him along with the others.

Wrapping his hands around the long spear beside him, Han Shuo pulled up and held the spear in his hand. He did not wait for the forest troll warrior to approach before he leapt upwards. The spear in his hand was so fast that it was like lightning pierced through the air. The spear first pierced through the chest of the troll warrior and also hung the soldier close behind him.

The two troll warriors only had time to let out two horrifying screams before they died instantly when the spear pierced them. Han Shuo randomly grabbed one of the battleaxes that one of them had been holding and shouted loudly, “Can't blame Me if you come looking for your own death.”

After the matter with the man-eating monsters last time, Han Shuo was no longer ashamed and also did not waste any time hesitating when it came to killing someone. He also somehow felt somewhat excited.

Han Shuo knew that mercy or pleadings would be completely useless with these bandits and robbers. Only a cold and cruel method could shock and admire him. The more timid and cowardly you are, the more they will act unconditionally. Therefore, Han Shuo had acted so cruelly just now, directly using ruthless killing to confront them.

Indeed, after Han Shuo showed his brutal method, a panicked expression appeared on the shimmering green skin of the other four forest trolls following the demands of their brothers. They took a few steps back cowardly. Even the leader of the forest troll looked at him in horror, and a worried expression appeared on his face.

“Courageous soldier, please save me!”

At this moment, the short fatty, that mercenary was pushing backwards for protection, suddenly shouted in excitement. He looked at Han Shuo with an excited expression, as if Han Shuo was his savior.

“Not interested!” Han Shuo replied firmly. He picked up the battleaxe with a cold snort and prepared to leave.

The short fatty immediately lost his composure and shouted wildly when he saw that Han Shuo was about to leave. “Courageous soldier, I'm willing to pay you a rich gift if you save Me. I promise you that you will be satisfied! ”

Han Shuo had already taken a few steps forward when he heard those words. He suddenly stopped and turned around with a faint smile, looking at the fatty. He said, “Holy master, how big of a gift are you willing to give?”

The fatty was stunned for a moment, then hesitated. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, shouting loudly. “Fifty gold!”

“Sorry, please find someone else!” Han Shou thought that if it had happened before, he would probably be tempted by fifty gold medals. Now that he had entered the Dark Forest and discovered that his skills were really enough for him to capture the Windblade Wolves alone, he no longer felt that fifty gold was enough for him to take risks.

Fatty became anxious seeing that Han Shuo was about to leave. He screamed again. “At most seventy!”

Han Shuo continued walking forward without looking back.

“80. 100! 120, 150! 200! 200 !! ”

The moving figure suddenly stopped, Han Shuo suddenly looked back and rushed back. He said, “Alright, 200 then. I'll take the loss and count it as a friend. ”

“Oh, my words. Two hundred gold! You robbed me like they did. Two hundred gold was enough for more than ten slaves. Damn it, get me out of here! ”Fatty shouted with an expression of pain on her face.
