Chapter 376: This Place Was Really Shitty

Hiss hiss. From deep in the grass came a soft hiss and suddenly, a figure flew by.

“That seemed like a person,” Riel said, tiptoeing. He shaded his eyes with his hands as he looked at the direction he saw the figure disappear in.

He was roughly only about four feet tall, and the grass was a bit taller than him at four and a half feet. Despite all his efforts to make himself taller, he still could not see past the grass.

“Nana, catch him!” Link ordered.

He had seen it too. After getting his Dragon Power, his eyesight had improved greatly. He had seen the figure in a grey leather armor and a mask. The figure looked highly skilled.

That figure appeared in the forest, leaving no traces. After it saw them, it turned and disappeared. That was very suspicious, and Link had to find out why.

Nana immediately put down Princess Milda before shooting towards the figure. Half a second later, Nana had crossed a distance of 900 feet and had caught up to the figure. She stretched out her hand to grab onto him.

That person’s reaction was instantaneous. He ducked, rolled on the floor and jumped up, turning back with dagger in hand. His body flashed and all of a sudden, he had his dagger stabbing towards Nana’s neck.

Clang. Nana withdrew her Breakpoint dagger and countered, slicing through her opponent’s dagger. Then, she punched towards the figure’s head.

That person was shocked. Nonetheless, he reacted and blocked Nana’s arm, retaliating with a punch towards her chest.

Nana retreated backwards, dodging his punch, then shot forward once more, stabbing with her dagger.

Unexpectedly, he dodged again. Although he had lost his dagger and was at a disadvantage in a fight with weapons, he was still able to fight back. He crouched low, punching, clawing, and kicking at Nana’s lower body. Every strike was extremely vicious.

Nana had never faced an attack like this before. In the face of this attack, she could only dodge and retreat. Even though she held her dagger in her hand, she was unexpectedly on the receiving end of the attacks.

Bamm. Suddenly, a dimensional ball exploded, stopping the enemy in his tracks. Link had arrived. However, immediately after that, the person’s body shone with white light. Link felt his Spatial Shackles becoming unstable as the person struggled to escape.

Link was shocked. This person has to be Level-8 at least. This is ridiculous.

Nana had charged back in, landing a punch in the person’s belly, knocking him to the ground. Then, she stepped heavily onto his head, preventing him from moving.

Link, Princess Milda and Riel walked towards the person, expressions of surprise and shock on their face.

“This fellow wearing tattered leather armor is actually a Level-8 expert?” Riel asked, eyes wide. He almost couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

What kind of shitty place is this? A regular thief was a Level-6 expert. Then, a random suspicious looking fellow appeared and he was Level-8. Unfathomable!

Princess Milda carefully assessed this person. He was about 30 years of age and wore a mask that hid all his features. However, his ears were sharp and pointy, although not quite as sharp as an elf, but just a bit more rounded. She turned back to look at Link, saying, “This is a Halfling.”

Link used his Magician’s Hand to remove the person’s mask.

His looks were ordinary. He didn’t have the same features as other Halflings. On his forehead, in between his eyes was a tattoo, a blood red eye. From afar, it looked like a third eye.

Although his head was being stepped on, his expression was twisted with hatred. He squinted at Link and laughed coldly. “Magician, don’t even dream of leaving the Great Beast Forest!”

He spoke in the same elven language as the thief from earlier. Link and the rest could naturally understand.

Link frowned as he asked, “Are you together with those bandits?”

“Nonsense! I am from the Blood Eye Mercenaries. I’m a mercenary. You guys better release me quickly, otherwise, you’ll regret ever coming to this world.”

Riel laughed coldly. “Hmph, bandits are bandits. Once you open your mouth, you give away your identity. Sir Link, let me smash his arm with my hammer, he won’t talk so much nonsense after that.”

Who would have thought that the bandit actually laughed at this. “Hahaha, Sir? With such weak magic, you actually call him sir? Hilarious. Little dwarf, if you are lucky enough not to die, you can visit the Yellow Golden City. This Magician won’t amount to anything there.”

Even after he was captured, he was still as arrogant as ever and did not tone down his taunting. It was as though he knew Link and the others wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.

Evidently, Link and the rest weren’t worth anything in his eyes.

Riel was infuriated at his words and was about to attack him.

Link stopped him. From what had happened, he could feel that this world was not simple. At this moment, he laughed. “Sir is just a title we use as a joke between ourselves. We’re just passing through and we’re sorry to have disturbed you. This is just a misunderstanding. What say you forget about all this?”

“Hmph, it’s too late for that now!” He laughed coldly, then stared at Princess Milda. “Legu woman, there’s no use hiding. I could smell out a beauty like you no matter how you hide. Heehee, my leader will surely savor you.”

This caused the three of them to frown.

For a scout to possess Level-8 strength would mean that his leader must be incredibly strong as well. He would definitely be at least Level-9, right?

Riel grumbled, “We just escaped a wolf, but find ourselves in a tiger’s den. How unlucky!”

Princess Milda looked at Link. “What do we do now?”

Link was silent. He was considering his options.

The scout had seen that Link was the leader. He smirked as he said, “Are you thinking of killing me to keep me silent? My Blood Eye Mercenaries take vengeance very seriously. If you kill me, they will definitely seek you out and then use the most horrible methods to torture you for a hundred days!”

In the past, he had always used his mercenary troop name to scare people. Anyone who heard that would immediately release him and escape for their lives.

However, he had ran into the wrong people this time.

After hearing his words, Link immediately gestured towards Nana. Nana used force to stamp down on his head, and the scout’s head exploded like a watermelon. The blood splattered all over the ground.

Since they had already provoked the enemy and there was no way to avoid the trouble, then they might as well do a clean job of killing them. As for this fellow’s threats, this was something to worry about later. They would deal with whatever came later.

Link threw out a dimensional ball, and softly said, “Rend!”

Zaaap. The scout’s body soon turned into a crystal like white powder.
