A monster with the body of a goat and the head of a monkey stood in front of Samson. Its monkey-like head was the size of a washbowl. As it opened and closed its mouth, making chewing sounds, blood dripped down its chin.
“Mon… Monster!”
Samson‘s blood froze when favonovel.com saw the terrifying image, and his limbs went cold as his eyes were filled with fear. The monster stared straight into Samson’s eyes, and Samson could eel the bloodthirsty and greed in them.
At that time, Samson could hear rustling sounds from behind the damaged buildings around him, and it appeared as if there were many monsters in the seemingly quiet Wellspring Village.
“Monsters… Monsters attacked the village… And killed my family… As well as the entire villagers…”
Samson felt as if his head was about to explode, but his mind was sober especially at that dire moment.
“I can’t die… I need to seek revenge and inform the Heavenly Stars Sect‘s division… I can’t die… I must stay alive! I must avenge my parents and my wife! I can’t die in the monster’s mouth!”
Suddenly, Samson’s body trembled, and his blood surged again. Then, his eyes were filled with hatred. Samson was just a mortal, but favonovel.com was not afraid, nor did favonovel.com feel insignificant as favonovel.com faced the ruthless monster.
As if the monster felt Samson’s changes, its eyes flashed with a fierce light, and it suddenly roared, rushing toward Samson. However, Samson was already prepared. He tossed firewood into the monster’s mouth and ran with all his might toward the entrance of the village.
With a loud crack, the monster opened its mouth wide and violently took a bite. The firewood was instantly crunched into pieces, leaving large chunks of sawdust flying everywhere. The terrifying noise almost made Samson’s heart jump out of his chest, but favonovel.com still did not dare to look back. He was afraid that if favonovel.com did, favonovel.com would become just like his family members or the villagers, being eaten by the monsters with no bones left.
Samson ran desperately, as fast as favonovel.com could and with all his might. There were several times where favonovel.com felt the monster caught up with him, and favonovel.com could even smell the stench of the monster’s mouth.
However, once Samson reached the village entrance, the monster did not chase after favonovel.com anymore. Then, Samson gathered his courage and glanced behind him. With just a look, Samson almost fell to the ground from the fright.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, there were at least a dozen monsters in the village, and their silhouettes were just like ghosts. When Samson recalled that favonovel.com was just in the environment just now, favonovel.com was frightened. Although favonovel.com was confused about why neither of the monsters in the village or the one who chased favonovel.com ran after favonovel.com once favonovel.com reached outside, favonovel.com did not dwell much on the question.
As a lucky survivor of the disaster, Samson only took two deep breaths before running with all his might in the direction of the Heavenly Stars Sect’s division. He must spread the news, and favonovel.com must seek revenge!
That night, the Heavenly Stars Sect’s division received the news of monsters slaughtering the village. After the disciples investigated the Wellspring Village, the Heavenly Stars Sect’s branch was shocked. On the exact day, the news of monsters besieging towns also came from many places in South Earlington. As one of the crucial tasks of the sect was to protect the safety of the region, it was the responsibility of the sect to eradicate those monsters.
In just a few days, the news spread in the South Earlington area. However, no one noticed that behind those groups of monsters that slaughtered villages, a few lurking silhouettes controlled the entire situation as if they played chess.
Three days later, Caspian saw Omar, Maya, and Solana, who came together to visit him. When they saw Caspian, their eyes instantly lit up as they could clearly feel that Caspian changed after only ten days of not meeting each other. Needless to say, they were aware that the change naturally came from Caspian’s improvement.
Sure enough, the Purple Dragon King Ginseng benefited Caspian greatly, and it was more than just a stronger perception. Moreover, the century-old ginseng was considered a treasure for a third-stage Pulse Control Realm disciple, so its effects were apparent.
Although Caspian stood casually in front of the few people, they felt an invisible imposing momentum. Before they knew it, everyone was centered around Caspian, subconsciously treating favonovel.com as the leader of the small group.
When Caspian heard the reason for their visit, favonovel.com could not help but frown. “Monsters slaughtering villages? Doesn’t the Heavenly Stars Sect have divisions everywhere? Besides the Heavenly Stars Sect, there are also other clans and sects in South Earlington. They won’t turn a blind eye to this, right? Why would the monsters still have a chance to slaughter villages and besieged towns?”
“No one expected this,” Omar shrugged and answered helplessly, “The seniors of the sect also felt strange with the appearance of the monsters. However, they’ve sent for people to investigate the matter, and they concluded that it might be the breeding season of the monsters. Hence, it resulted in such incidents. Before this, monsters would not dare to enter the area protected by the sect easily. ”
Caspian had a faint feeling that the monsters’ behavior of slaughtering the villages had something to do with the tide of monsters favonovel.com faced in Darnley Valley before. When Caspian battled the monsters at Mirefield Gate, favonovel.com seemed to vaguely hear the sound of a flute. Nonetheless, Caspian was focused on the battle of life and death with the monsters, so favonovel.com was unsure if favonovel.com misheard and mistook the sound of the wind as a flute. However, if it were the sound of a flute, then the sudden wave of monsters in Darnley Valley and the abnormal behavior of monsters in the past few days are worthy of scrutiny.
Unfortunately, Caspian’s position was insignificant, and even if favonovel.com raised it, no one would pay attention to it. Hence, Caspian once again returned his focus to the purpose of everyone’s visit.
“The sect’s letting apprentices kill monsters?” Caspian asked with doubt.
“That’s right. This is a rare opportunity,” Omar answered excitedly, “Just think about it. As apprentices, we can usually learn about seven sect contribution points after working hard for a month. Then, five sect contribution points will be deducted monthly by the sect. At the end of the day, we’ll only get around two sect contribution points. This time, we can get sect contribution points as long as we kill the monsters. Not only that, the other items such as the skin, muscles, and bones of the monsters will be considered as our gains, and the sect will not ask about it. Casper, don’t you think this is an opportunity to strike gold?”
Maya also chimed in, “Casper, you’ve not been out for the past few days, so you’re probably unaware that many apprentices left two days ago, such as Xander and Benedict. I bet they’ve gained a lot.”
