American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

“Oh, okay, okay. Carly and the others are in danger right now, we need to get there quickly…” Having gone through all sorts of dangers, Jesse’s mental fortitude had clearly been honed.

Once she calmed down, she immediately took Mike and rushed towards the signal tower in the forest.

[Immense Strength]: Under the same physical condition, can exert strength far exceeding that of ordinary people. (Maximum usable strength is twice that of an average person.)

This is the special light orb that dropped when that monster was killed.

If this ball of light were placed on an ordinary person, it might only create a strongman.

But on a superhero like Mike with his overflowing basic attributes, it would be an absolute god-tier skill.

After crushing the ball of light and feeling the surge of power, Mike, wielding his giant axe, was somewhat looking forward to seeing what other good things the next two monsters could offer him.

On the way to the signal tower, Mike also noticed that there were many traps, snares and other traps hidden in the forest.

The dark brown spots on the traps indicate that the monsters living in this forest often hunt passing tourists.

……

At that moment, at the burning signal tower, Chris, the surviving junior employee, jumped up the branches of another large tree.

"Don't be afraid, jump over here, I'll catch you~" Chris shouted to Carly behind him as he regained his footing.

The two ogres that remained here didn't seem to intend to kill their prey so quickly.

They toy with it like cats with mice, enjoying the terrified cries of their prey as it dies.

As it turns out, these cannibals were not entirely devoid of intelligence.

Beneath the large tree, a tall, pale-skinned ogre was aiming a bow and arrow at two humans in the tree, preventing them from escaping.

Another nimble and slender ogre had already climbed up the branch where Carly was, baring his serrated teeth and threatening the girl face to face.

Carly, trembling as she stood atop the tree branch, looked at the terrifying monster so close to her and had lost all will to live.

"I can not do it……"

Faced with Chris's shouts, Carly, with snot and tears streaming down her face, was like a frightened bird, ready to fall off a branch at any moment.

This is the scene that Mike and his companion saw when they arrived.

Before Jesse could speak, Mike had already swung his giant axe at the ogre under the tree who was drawing his bow and arrow.

bang~

The giant axe spun and struck the pale-skinned ogre squarely in the chest.

To Mike's surprise, the giant axe seemed to have struck a rock and did not break through the ogre's chest.

Fortunately, the blow was powerful enough that although the ogre didn't bleed immediately, it was still sent flying by the giant axe.

swoosh~

Due to inertia, the ogre released the drawn bow before falling to the ground.

Over there, Carly, already a frightened bird, heard the sound of the bow and could no longer hold on. After swaying a few times, she fell headfirst from the tree.

In an instant, the girl's screams echoed through the night sky.

"Stop shouting, beautiful. You're safe now~"

Mike said to the girl in his arms who was screaming.

"Hmm?..." Carly tentatively opened her eyes, and what she saw was a handsome man's face.

And she was lying in the other person's arms in an ambiguous position.

The feeling of being saved from a desperate situation is quite amazing.

"Thank you, thank you for saving me... How did you..."

Now that she was out of danger, the girl's thoughts began to wander. She was very curious about how the man had managed to catch her when he was clearly more than ten meters away.

From the moment Mike swung the giant axe to the moment the girl landed, no more than three seconds elapsed.

Under normal circumstances, most people wouldn't even have time to think about all that.

Fortunately, Mike is no ordinary person.

His superhuman nerve strength allowed him to decide to save the girl first after determining that the cannibals on the ground posed no threat.

"The enemy hasn't been dealt with yet, we can talk later." After putting the girl down, Mike turned and walked towards the cannibal lying on the ground.

The girl's adoring expression clearly showed she was under the influence of the suspension bridge effect. However, her current appearance, with snot and tears streaming down her face, was hardly flattering.

With the ball of light to be had, the girl's allure was naturally no match for that of the cannibal.

On the other side, the ogre, knocked to the ground, had a large cave-in in its chest. With blood and foam in its mouth, its bloodshot eyes were glaring angrily at Mike as he approached.

Clearly, this is a vengeful monster.

In front of the monster, Jesse picked up the giant axe from the ground and was confronting the monster one-sidedly.

"Let me do it~"

Mike, who had returned, took the axe from the girl.

Then, with a "crackling" sound, the axe that had struck the ogre's neck seemed to hit solid rock once again.

The monster, with its formidable defenses, not only survived the attack but also began to become increasingly ferocious.

That's a tough nut to crack!

Just to be safe, Mike changed his attack from chopping with the swirling axe blade to smashing it. With tremendous force, the flying brick quickly turned the monster's head into a pulpy mess.

【Stone Skin】: Skin as hard as stone, impervious to sharp blades.

Good stuff!

Mike put down the giant axe, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

Having regained his special aura, he felt that his decision to take this forest path wasn't so bad after all.

Chapter 264 Cabin

Behind him, the signal tower glowed with towering flames; before him, watermelon juice splattered everywhere. A handsome man held a giant, blood-dripping axe in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.

These various scenes paint a bloody and bizarre picture.

"I... my name is Chris, thank you for saving me..." Chris climbed down the tree and stopped not far from Mike, his face showing a hint of wariness.

"What are you going to do next?" Mike didn't seem to care about the man's attitude.

After glancing at the three of them, he looked into the depths of the forest.

Just as Mike was killing the ogre on the ground, he noticed the small, agile ogre in the tree, which used the branches to leap away from the scene.

In that situation, without ranged weapons, it would be impossible to capture the enemy.

But even if you can escape, you can't hide. This leek, Mike, is doomed.

“We called for help earlier, so why don’t we wait for the rescue team to arrive…” Carly suggested tentatively.

Having just survived a life-or-death ordeal, she never wanted to face that man-eating monster again.

“I want to go and collect the bodies of my dead friends. Their corpses shouldn’t be desecrated by monsters.” Jesse looked at Mike with burning eyes.

The most cruel method of cannibals is not killing people, but treating them as food.

That large pot, bubbling with steam, left a deep impression on Jesse.

The dead should no longer be subjected to such desecration...

Moreover, some of his friends were among them.

Jesse didn't dare to think about what the escaped ogre would do to Scott and the others' corpses if they left.

Scott, Evan, and Francis were members of the previous adventure team. Now their bodies are left in the ogre's lair.

"me……"

Chris, a junior employee, also didn't want to face the terrifying cannibal again. But thinking of what he had seen in the monster's lair, his eyes flickered a few times before he said firmly, "If we're going to fight the last monster, I'm willing to lend a hand."

The saying "like attracts like" probably describes Chris's current situation perfectly.

After his speech, the situation on the field became clear: two to one.

Of course, Mike was definitely going to find the remaining monster. Even if it was just for the special energy orb, he had to go.

Therefore, it's three to one.

“You can wait for us by the roadside. There’s a pickup truck there with food on it…” Mike told Carly where to go.

"Don't leave me behind, I'll go with you." Carly, still shaken, was too afraid to stay in the forest alone.

Now, she can only feel a little peace of mind when she is with Mike.

"Looks like we've reached an agreement," Mike said to the girl who had come closer. "Let's go together then. The sooner we resolve this trouble, the sooner we can leave this place."

Thus, a hunting team targeting ogres was formed.

Led by Jesse and his two companions, Mike traversed the jungle and arrived at the ogre's lair.

Under the moonlight, a small wooden cabin with an eerie feel appeared before everyone.

The large open space around the wooden house was piled high with a dense array of scrapped vehicles of varying ages and conditions, roughly estimated to be more than a hundred.

This shows how many passersby have been harmed by cannibals over the years.

"Shh, you guys wait here for me..."

In front of the cabin, Mike made a shushing gesture before stepping forward alone, carrying the giant axe.

With his exceptional hearing, he heard faint noises coming from inside the cabin. Clearly, the escaped ogre was hiding inside.

"Squeak~"

With a slight push of the door, before Mike could even look inside, a spear came hurtling towards him.

Faced with the sudden attack, Mike nimbly dodged to the side.

Before the opponent could launch a second sneak attack, a large hand swiftly grabbed the spearhead and pulled it outwards with force.

With a crash, the wooden door slammed shut again, and the cannibal inside, who hadn't had time to let go, was thrown against the back of the door by inertia.

Immediately afterwards, Mike kicked the dilapidated wooden door and the cannibal behind it away with all his might.

A cracking sound rang out, and dust and sawdust flew everywhere!

It feels great to hit the target!

Before Jesse and the other two could even gasp in surprise, Mike had already carried the giant axe into the dimly lit cabin.

Then, from inside the cabin, came the ear-piercing sound of bones cracking and the roars of monsters.

When Jesse and his two companions arrived, the monster's limbs had already been cut off.

Amidst the vast pool of blood, the small, emaciated ogre displayed remarkable resilience. It roared, its bloodshot eyes fixed on the man wielding the blood-stained giant axe before it, filled with hatred.

The scene shifts to the side, and under the light of torches on the wall, bloodstained clothes, a boning knife, and pieces of flesh are scattered everywhere on the long wooden table.

At the far end of the table, there was a large pot with a diameter of over two meters, inside which bones and chunks of meat were churning.

Clearly, this escaped ogre was preparing its midnight snack.

"Ugh... vomit... vomit..."

The intense visual stimulation and the strong smell of blood caused Carly, who had just entered the cabin, to cover her mouth and run out.

Then, Jesse and Chris, equally unable to bear the visual impact, also left the cabin, their faces pale.

"Truly a beast!"

Mike naturally saw the scene inside the room and knew what it meant.

The giant axe fell again, and an ugly head flew off.

The skinny cannibal finally ended his sinful life.
