90. The Forest of Meat Eaters

Bearsatu intended to eat three goblins that somehow suddenly lost consciousness, but I immediately stopped the bear.

"I don't understand why they attacked me, and humans were involved."

I took the leftovers left by Sergio. The human head is male, from the wound I can guess this human got an attack from behind.

“I didn't expect you to have a good ambush ability.”

Sergio howled happily when he got the praise from me. Meanwhile Bearsatu growled as if feeling envious because he wanted to get praise.

“You are also Bearsatu, this soft fur ball is so strong that the stupid Goblins are unable to move when you roar.” my praise while bending the body of Bearsatu full of feathers.

After that I tied the three goblins with worms and carried them on Bearsatu's back. While I switched to riding a Sergio who had increased his size to the size of a horse.

“Alright, let's continue.”

Together and Sergio went hand in hand. Throughout the rest of the journey I kept thinking about the reason why goblins and humans attacked me. Honestly this is very disturbing thoughts, I feel I did nothing that resulted in someone hating me.

“What does this have to do with the Dragon who came this morning?.”

Arang said that a real Dragon has strong ties with his family, and also Dragons are often used as objects of divine embodiment for some sects.

“Is it possible that these goblins and humans are mercenaries hired by the Geni Dragon family, or that they might be followers of a sect that worships Dragons?.”

But it feels impossible because it was also only a few hours ago that we managed to defeat Dragon Geni, it would not make sense if the dragon family and sect knew the current circumstances.

It was thought that as much as I would not get an exact answer, that's why I brought the three surviving goblins for later interrogation.

“Then what will I do to this head?.”

I looked at the human head that turned to look at me blankly. I thought about giving it to Sergio, but the intention was soon undone and chose to keep the human head in storage.

"Maybe it could be more useful later.”

I was a bit confused by myself being so calm looking at a human corpse. Is it possible because I am no longer a human being, that humanity in me is slowly disappearing?.

Several times our journey was blocked by monsters, but all of them we could handle easily.

A kowaaak! A giant bird fell from the sky with several gunshot wounds.

“That will happen if you dare to steal from me.” I came down from the sky and saved the carcass of the bird into storage.

Previously the big bird was intending to take one of the goblins tied on Bearsatu's back. But the action succeeded I failed after going through a fierce fight in the air.

The journey resumed, but there were other troubling problems. There's a branching road ahead. When looking at the map I found that the left road is shorter than the other road. But there are warnings from the system about this road.

[The left path leads to the flesh-eating forest, there are many powerful monsters living in it. No one has made it through that road yet]

“Other monster nest!.”

The goblin colony was then a giant ant colony, and now another colony is in front of me.

“This mountain is really full of monsters.”

I'm curious about the diversity of mutated animals and monsters that live on this mountain. I felt like I wanted to make a study and record all the species on the mountain into an encyclopedia.

Moreover, when I looked at the system map, I found that the entire new mountain map was open by less than one percent.

“Grazy!.”

Imagine how big this mountain is, if all this time all the places I have visited did not reach one percent of the entire mountain area.

But from the details that I read, the whole point of exploration is not only focused on the size of the area that I explore, but meeting animals and plants will also add to the point of exploration.

“Isn't this interesting enough?.”

“Alright let's break down!.”

I exclaimed with vigor while raising my fist to the sky. Sergio and Bearsatu cheered even though they didn't understand what I was saying.

After determining our destination and continuing our journey, the road we took was the road to the flesh-eating forest. The reason why I chose this path is because there are many research objects that can add exploration points.

***

The flesh-eating forest was a very dense forest, the inside was so dark that the sunlight could not penetrate the lush trees. While the wild grass plants up to the hips, covering the entire street.

I felt the atmosphere change drastically once I entered this forest. It was as if I had just entered into a very different dimension. An uncomfortable feeling as if something would pounce on me from behind, or a small creature would follow from the bushes.

“Less than five minutes I entered into this forest, but I already feel so anxious.”

Ding!.

[That's because of the poison that's spread all over the forest]

Suddenly the system tells something surprising.

“Ra... poison?.” I frantically checked Bearsatu and Sergio, fearing both of them had poisoning. Thank goodness they both look okay.

[The poison from the Orchid illusionists scattered throughout the forest resulted in hallucinations and caused an exaggerated sense of gold. Very effective for humanoid creatures, but not so strong in animals or monsters that have sharp instincts]

I was grateful after hearing more information about the effects of the poison that had spread throughout the forest. It was heartbroken to hear that the two beasts would not be affected by the effects of the poison in this forest.

But not so with the three goblins tied to Bearsatu's back.

“Gugiyaaa!.” all three goblins woke up at the same time shouting, as if they had just seen the same nightmare.

“So that will happen if exposed to toxins in this forest?.”

I kept watching the three goblins who kept shouting, the loud noise from the three of them attracted the attention of every flesh-eating forest dweller. Sergio and Bearsatu growled as they realized that there were monsters coming from all directions.

Using the analytical skills allowed me to see the existence of the monsters that were moving towards us.

The exploration points increased when I first encountered a new kind of monster.

“They are plant type monsters..”

A ball made from a lump of worms I put into the mouths of the three goblins to muffle their voices.

“Let's see how powerful the flesh-eating forest-dwelling monsters are.”

Jdar! Lightning exploded from my palm as I clenched my hand. I don't know why I feel like fighting makes me so excited.
