To esokan day.
Right in the morning Xi visited the Adventurers Guild and took a Quest there. Due to his low rank, Xi could not take the Demon Snake Hunt Quest that was in the high-level Beginner Quest.
To be able to go to the Asgar forest, Xi also took another Quest that could help him find a reason to go there.
A Receptionist gave him advice on hunting down Goblins. Because, just that Quest was the hardest one that existed in the basic rankings.
Xi was only asked to bring thirty Goblin ears, and the reward he got was 20 copper coins.
Xi agreed to his mission, and left immediately after getting his paper.
On the way to the Asgar forest. Coincidentally, Xi met with the adventurers he had met first when he was about to enter Aiter City.
"A, you were the one at the time. Are you going to Asgar Forest?"
Xi nodded confirming Suota's guess.
"Because you're going there, it means you've become an adventurer, right?"
He asked with a friendly smile. Although his current fourth appearance was very disheveled. Maybe it was because they were having trouble there. Although only against Goblins, what needs to be remembered Goblins are monsters that live in groups. It would not be easy for them to defeat the Goblin colony with their strength alone. Being able to return safely without being seriously injured, they were really lucky.
"That's how I went there to complete the mission."
"Then we won't bother." Continue walking back to the city. Before parting ways with Xi, Suota gives a warning to Xi of the treacherous ascetic Asgar forest now. "Be careful when you get there. Lately the movement of monsters in the forest has become more active. I don't know what the reason is, but for sure they're becoming a lot more aggressive. Also be careful with Demon Snake, I saw one there by the big tree, he was ruthlessly slaughtering the Goblins who lived there." Suota whispered.
Xi glanced at her seriously. Suota looked serious as well when telling him. Xi could not ignore this warning.
What was even more shocking was that, Xi did not expect Suota to be that good to the point of providing her with such important information.
Gathering back his confidence, then replying with a confident smile.
"Thank you, I'll hold your warning."
"It seems you understand. Rarely do people believe our words, because they think we're just children who don't know what the outside world looks like."
"Adults have their own thoughts. The most important thing is not that they will listen or not, but your sincere intentions. It's up to them to hear it or not, but here you're sure you've delivered what you wanted to tell them."
Suota gasped silently when she heard it. No one had ever spoken to her like this except her parents. This made him happy again, and smiled softly.
"Thank you."
"No, I'm the one who should be thanking you."
"Well, whatever it is, may you succeed and return safely."
"I'll make sure of that."
The two were very familiar when conversing even with small voices. They look like old acquaintances, who understand each other. In fact, they only knew each other yesterday, and there wasn't even much to talk about.
After finishing talking. Suota returned to her party, which was waiting for her far away. Looking from a distance Xi saw one of Suota's female friends waving at her. Not to Xi, but to Suota.
"Your friend is waiting for you, then I'll go first."
Don't want to linger anymore. Xi said goodbye and left Suota.
It would be easy, and quick if he rode a horse to go to the forest. But unfortunately. While searching for horses in the city, he did not get them. Even when he wanted to rent it, everything was already rented by other adventurers first.
Because there were no horses or chariots that could be rented, Xi was forced to walk to go to Asgar forest. No problem for him, because he's been there.
After being quite far away from the Suota group. Xi began to add his walk, and started to run fast.
The speed of his search is incredible. An ordinary person, or even an adventurer who was at his level would probably not be able to match his running speed.
Its running speed has reached 62km/h. Those who never exercise, or exercise their physique. Reaching such speed is impossible.
In the real world, although not the maximum speed of a motorcycle or car. However, this speed was already fast enough, even people could not catch up to him if they only relied on running.
An hour passed, and Xi still continued to run nonstop. After running for that long, even his facial expression had not changed at all. Stay calm, and look flatter.
His expression was like showing that he was not exhausted at all after running a long distance. It can be proven, there is no sweat on his face or on his body. Even a better veteran adventurer and his level was above him would be exhausted if he ran the distance so far. Xi is amazing. In his weakest physical condition among the physical dragons, he was the weakest. However, if compared to his stamina, a dragon his age would not have as much stamina as him.
Xi's numerous stamina was an advantage that could not be underestimated. Even if he had run out of mana, he still had plenty of stamina to keep moving his body continuously moving as he wished.
He stopped in front of a high cliff. Hiking on a road that has been around for a long time. He had reached the front of the forest where he had once been.
From outside the forest he saw it with a sharp look. There was a group of Goblins who seemed to have realized his presence outside the forest.
The Goblins flocked to her. Looks like they'll prey on him like wild animals.
"Lower creatures like you don't deserve to taste my blood. Get lost!! [Fire Ball]"
The fireball he shot towards the front was right in the direction of the Goblin group's destination. Not only one fireball shot was fired, but there were four fireballs fired at once.
The four fireballs floated past the shady trees. So smooth, even to the point of not scratching it.
Booms! Booms! Booms! Booms!
There was a sound of explosions four times from the forest. The blast came from four fireballs that hit the Goblin group.
Within seconds, the Goblin group was annihilated in the blink of an eye. Goblin corpses lay on the floor, and they were everywhere. Of all the bodies, the burns are very obvious.
Xi got a ton of Goblin killing notifications from the system. Even so, he paid no heed to her, and focused more on her goal.
"I've cleared the way, it's time to monitor further. Out!"
Xi called out to all the dark forces he had. Everyone bent their knees, and bowed their heads to Xi.
"Explore this forest, find out where Demon Snake is. If you find him, come back and tell me."
His entire army understood the orders he was given. They are a submissive team, and don't ask much questions. Yes, because basically they can't talk either. After getting the order, everyone immediately moved to carry out the order Xi gave them.
Seeing all his troops had already left, and now it was his turn to go enter the forest. Xi will not just stay silent waiting outside like a statue. Because it's not his hobby.
"Since they will be looking for the existence of Demon Snake, then I will focus on raising my level a little. Even if it doesn't go up, I can at least get some Exp to level up." Said Xi calmly, and went inside the forest. Looking for other types of monsters he could find in this forest.
In forest. In a big tree. There is a creature that looks to have a large tree trunk with its body.
It was huge, as big as a school bus. It had black scales that looked extremely hard, and looked extremely disguised fused with shadows.
The creature opened its eyes. When he heard the sound of an explosion strong enough to sound in his ears.
His golden pupils shone brightly, showing that he was angry. He was disturbed by the sound of the explosion. "Which lowly creature dares to mess with my territory?" If he could speak, that was what he would say in an annoyed tone.
Anyone will also feel very upset, or irritated when disturbed while sleeping. That is what this snake is feeling right now.
He lifted his head, looking straight ahead. Giving orders to all his men with the code of sound hissing snake.
At that moment, there were five Demon Snake with him. Those five Demon Snake instantly moved towards the source of the sound that was bothering their leader.
Not only were the five of them, even the snakes were intelligent enough to be able to give orders to other types of monsters.
The thick fog drowned the trees. It was the deeds of monsters moving together in large numbers.
If the adventurers saw this, they would definitely panic. Because, they realized that the number of monsters in the mist was not one or two monsters.
It could contain either tens or even hundreds of thousands. And at worst it could reach thousands or even tens of thousands of monsters.
As apex predatory apex monster in the Asgar forest. Demon Snake had power over all kinds of monsters living in the Asgar forest. It made them even more terrifying, and invincible. Although the number of Demon Snake itself was not many, but a single one of them was enough to make all monsters fear.
On top of a tall and large tree trunk. Xi saw that there was a mist of monsters that he suspected was the act of Demon Snake who ordered all the monsters under his control to attack.
Even the system gave a notification to her, that there were over a hundred moving monsters were searching for her.
[Warning! Monsters in large numbers move!]
[Warning! Monsters in large numbers move!]
[Warning! Monsters in large numbers move!]
The notification appeared three times. Really there to commemorate him.
This was beyond his predictions, but still did not deviate from his main plan.
"I guess there's just a little... I didn't think it was this much mala..." Xi looked at the monster. His face was slightly sweaty, signifying that he was currently anxious."Demon Snake's... Really something. Since it has come this far, there is no longer any chance of retreat."
"Now all I can do is defend and attack from a distance. I should reduce their number as much as possible."
He pulled something from his inventory. It was a foul and some arrows were actually prepared, before he left.
