Green Monster Epic

“Whish! Whish!”

Allen emerged from a stream 5-6 meters wide. Even he hadn't expected that his previous training in Green Lake would become the best way to shake off his pursuers.

He had been swimming in the stream for half an hour, and Allen didn't know where he was. Fortunately, it was now late at night, and the mercenaries and adventurers who wanted to attack him wouldn't be able to continue tracking him.

People in the civilized world like to set various traps during battles. If given time to prepare in a designated area, the damage they can inflict is enough to kill their target in a short period. Allen preferred to be hit by the log hammer set up by the other party rather than fight in their pre-arranged arena, fearing that they had more traps to deal with him.

However, when the battle location was chosen in a place where neither side was prepared, and they needed to fight with their own strength as a bargaining chip, the fighting spirit displayed by the other party might not be much stronger than that of the goblins, who are known for their adaptability.

Returning to the riverbed, he caught a dog-mouthed fish weighing more than 10 pounds. Allen didn't dare to start a fire, so he took out his dagger, scraped off the scales, cleaned the internal organs, and ate it raw. The food in his backpack was ruined during the swim and couldn't be eaten, so Allen could only use the available resources on the spot.

He swallowed the fishy flesh in a few bites, cleaned up the fish's internal organs to avoid attracting other predators or pursuers, and then found a lush eucalyptus tree by the river, climbed up the trunk, and spent the night there.

Nothing happened overnight. The next day, as the sky began to turn white, Allen woke up from his light sleep. A clean dive into the water and some more tossing around got him his breakfast again. After a simple breakfast as he had the night before, his energy was replenished throughout his body. Apart from some hidden pain in his internal organs, yesterday's fight didn't bring him much trouble. The earth bear goblin's recovery ability was strong, and Allen had also used two bottles of healing potions yesterday, so after a night of rest, it wouldn't have much impact on his actions today.

He didn't plan to leave this lush jungle just like that, but instead intended to use this jungle to give the pursuers behind him a profound lesson.

The wilderness was not suitable for Allen's escape. After passing through the territory of the Elf Kingdom and entering the sphere of influence of the Thunder Tribe, the trees and forests would begin to become sparse. In that case, it would be relatively difficult for Allen to avoid the pursuit of his pursuers while escaping. Although his speed was okay, he had no advantage compared to those opponents who excelled in speed, not to mention that they would also use animal power, riding mounts to chase him.

It would be better to be ruthless now, and in this endless jungle, use the geographical advantages of streams and trees to give the pursuers behind him a head-on blow. Only by hurting them could he gain a chance to escape.

Allen didn't seem to have thought about the fact that there were always stronger opponents in this world. What would he do if he encountered an opponent he couldn't beat?

“Xi Xi ~ ~ Xi Xi ~ ~”

Allen was setting up simple traps in the jungle. These traps were used to trap prey in the wilderness. As for whether they could cause damage to the opponent, he didn't care much. While setting up the traps, Allen was also listening to the surrounding movements. The faint movements coming from behind made his face change slightly, and then silently, he had already climbed up the most lush tree trunk, peering down through the gaps in the leaves of the canopy.

Until now, Allen hadn't figured out how his opponents were able to keep chasing him without losing track of him. Could it be that they had cast some magic on him?

In the jungle, several figures were groping forward slowly, a few meters apart from each other, mutually supporting each other, as if they knew Allen was nearby. Seeing that one of them was about to step into the trap he had set, Allen quietly raised the heavy sword in his hand, preparing to strike. At the last moment, the figure suddenly stopped, and with a sword in his hand, broke the trap mechanism. The grass ring jumped up, trying to circle the existence that broke the mechanism's balance, but it didn't catch anything.

“Be careful, the opponent is nearby.”

The figure quietly warned the surrounding partners, while a leather shield had protected his whole body, quietly looking around for Allen's trail.

Allen, who was about to make a move, suddenly stopped his actions. The other party's high vigilance made Allen decide to be patient and see if there was a better opportunity to strike. Several traps were detected one after another, but Allen didn't move until nearly half of the other party's formation had passed, when he suddenly found a very good attack target, and the heavy sword in his hand began to move slowly.

The target was a human female. Judging from the way she held her swords in both hands, she should be taking the agile route. Walking in the middle, she probably felt that the 3 teammates in front were exploring the way, so she was relatively relaxed in the back, which was also a reason why Allen chose her.

“Whish!!!”

Amidst the shaking of the leaves, Allen was like a boulder weighing a thousand pounds, falling from the sky towards the top of the head of the opponent he had chosen. The team members below were also alert, and when they heard the noise coming from the canopy, they had already noticed the attack and immediately approached each other quickly, wanting to rely on each other to meet the enemy.

Clang!!

With a loud noise, Allen's heavy sword was blocked by the human female warrior with two swords, but although the attack was blocked, the heavy sword and Allen's own force from top to bottom were something the opponent couldn't stop. On the spot, the other party's knees softened and made a cracking sound due to the heavy pressure. Allen seized the opportunity for the opponent to lose balance, and the heavy sword stabbed diagonally downwards, touching a bit of rough friction. Without looking at the opponent's final state, Allen retracted his sword, turned around and left, not forgetting to chop a sword on a seemingly strong tree trunk while leaving. The big tree crashed down towards the opponent's team position, cutting off his pursuers' retreat, and Allen took this opportunity to disappear into the jungle once again.

“Avril, how are you?”

The other 5 figures gathered around and worked together to drag the injured woman to a safe place before the tree fell down, and then began to check her injuries.

“Goo ~ ~ He ~ ~”

Blood gushed out from the human female's mouth and nose. It wasn't until a teammate gritted his teeth and took out a scroll, and silver-white light enveloped the female warrior, that the pale cheeks of the female warrior named Avril gradually gained some vitality.

“Avril's legs and arms are broken. I'm afraid she won't be able to chase the enemy in a short time. Little Bear, you take Avril back to Thornsburg first.”

After carefully checking Avril's injuries, the human captain Joey began to instruct another young human beside him.

“Captain, what about you?”

Although Little Bear was worried about his companion's safety, he didn't want to leave just like that.

“We naturally have to continue to hunt down this green skin. Now that we've used a mid-injury healing scroll, we've already lost fifteen gold coins. If we can't complete this task, our reputation will be ruined.”

“I also want to…”

“Your task is to protect your sister Avril safely to Thornsburg to recuperate, understand?”

“…Oh, okay.”

“Be careful!!”

“Okay.”

Soon, the team followed the traces left by Allen again to pursue, leaving the young human warrior Little Bear, supporting Avril and heading back.
