Chapter 31 A dead person’s head

After crossing the wildness in an alert state for an entire day, maybe because of Shaar’s massive luck, those pursuers were not able to catch up.

The further they walked, the farther away they got from the danger, and the sense of uneasiness in their heart gradually dispersed.

Taking advantage of the daylight, Shaar picked up some dry herbs and burned it into plant ash to apply on his wound. People who were experienced in surviving in the wild would use this kind of ash to stop the bleeding if they lacked medicine after getting injured. Not only could this ash stop bleeding, it could also prevent infections.

During the second day, Shaar’s luck jumped to its peak when they actually met a jackal that tried to attack them at midnight.

This animal died a very tragic death under Shaar’s pitchfork and was made into a tasty barbecue. The remaining meat turned into dried rations for their journey – Only the pitiful goblin princess’ burden suddenly increased a lot.

TL: We all know how pitiful they die… poor animals…

Without any sympathy, Shaar treated Oaks as a slave.

The goblin princess actually did not have any complaints. For goblins, once their status turned into a “soso”, human law did not apply to them anymore – oh, that’s right a goblin did not know anything about human law in the first place.

After walking in the wilderness for almost five days, they finally saw a continuous panorama of green and black in the distant horizon……

Mountains! They finally saw the mountains!

The trio immediately started cheering and Shaar even started to beat his chest while roaring furiously.

Those few days had put tremendous pressure on him. Even as a seasoned hunter, he was a little worried that he was lost.

In order to escape their pursuers, they stayed far away from the river, but the river was the best method to identify their location.

Moreover, according to the information of Mr. Princess, they should have seen the mountains after three days. However, they actually walked for five days.

If they had walked for two more days and were still unable to find the mountains, perhaps the pitiful goblin would have to suffer Shaar’s wrath for giving him false information.

Although they saw the mountains from afar, there was a saying “Seeing a mountain from afar, would kill the horse to reach it”. Our trio spent half a day walking until they arrived in the forest at the foot of the mountain.

Finally seeing the green woods, Shaar was so excited that he performed a somersault and yelled a few times.

For someone like Shaar who grew up in the mountain forest, as soon as he saw the scenery, it instantly gave him a familiar feeling that was impossible to describe. For him, there was food everywhere, every animal transformed into his prey and there were resources all around him that he could take advantage off.

When Shaar continuously yelled in excitement, the Pitiful Creature could not help but pour a little cold water over him.

“Hey, Shaar.” The Pitiful Creature sighed – ever since that day Shaar let her eat the red ant eggs, which was the only food they had, the Pitiful Creature did not quarrel with Shaar anymore. She also no longer called him “hillbilly”. Looking more closely, she even spoke a few words in a very cheerful manner with him.

“What?” Shaar turned his head and threw out his chest. The wound on his shoulder was already healed – this anomaly made the Pitiful Creature and the goblin awestruck.

This guy’s body was made from a monster…… It made people wonder, perhaps his real father raped a magical beast and it gave birth to him.At least it would be hard to find someone with the same kind of monstrous physique as his in the world!

Looking at the several wounds on his body, the claw marks left behind by the Bloodthirsty Great Wolf were already completely healed and even the scars were already gone. The arrow wound on his shoulder was also almost healed. There was only a small cut that bled left, and it was surrounded by newly grown flesh. It had a slightly deeper color, but besides that there was nothing unusual anymore.

Talking about it really made normal people angry. The Pitiful Creature’s feet that were injured by the beast traps ages ago were still not fully healed. Right now, she still needed someone’s support in order to walk and this hillbilly was already able to jump around wildly.

Hesitating for a moment, the Pitiful Creature could not help it and reminded Shaar: “You see, how are we going to look for the dragon in such a large mountain?”

Shaar was shocked.

Lifting his head, he looked in front of him……

The forest at the foot of the mountain already seemed limitless and it covered everything all the way to the top. An ocean full of green and the mountain itself stretched vertically so that he was unable to see the top. One mountain attached to another…… If they searched one mountain after another, they would probably need several years just to cross it by foot!

Shaar was not someone who kept being stubborn in a dead-end and sighed: “Looking for a buried treasure was always a matter of luck. Don’t worry if we can’t find it. We’ll wander around the mountains for several days, if we can find it, the better. If not, we probably moved further away from those knights and when the time comes, we can just turn around.”

Pausing for a moment, Shaar smiled: “Or we just simply cross this mountain range altogether. I’d like to embark on a long journey for a month and it would be enough time to arrive at the other side of the mountain. I heard that at the other side of the mountain was the territory of the Odin Empire. Anyway, I’m a person who eats alone and have no family members, therefore it doesn’t matter where I go. In worst case, we can just simply drift along towards the Odin Empire.”

When the Pitiful Creature heard this, she gently smiled: “Ha, when I first met you, you initially said that you had signed a contract with a guy to deliver some magical beasts to Primal Wildfire Town. You said that you got a credit and that it was a man’s honour to deliver it no matter what.”
