Spland continued to move forward. If he moved forward three more meters, he would be sure to bite the damn Banning within two seconds!

But at this moment, Banning stretched out his hand and made a stop gesture to Sprant.

"Splinter, if you continue forward, you will die. This is my final warning to you."

——『Combat Class Skill [Trickster - Lv10] has been activated and is currently in effect...』

"Hiss, thank you..."

Ignoring the dissuasion, Spland continued to move forward and quietly began to accumulate strength for a surprise attack. However, before he finished accumulating strength, the mysterious Banning suddenly shouted!

"Cubs! Bite this giant snake to death!!" (Demon language)

In an instant, countless carrion rat pups burst out from the darkness! They pounced on the red-scaled giant snake like crazy, gnawing at its scales with their teeth!

Spland was surprised. He knew that the Sunny Forest was the territory of the carrion rat tribe, but he didn't know that so many carrion rat cubs gathered here.

What was even more surprising to him was that Banning could control monsters. Could it be that he was also a combat professional like a monster master or animal tamer?

But even so, so what?

"Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! What can these little mice do to me?!"

Spland twisted his tail and swung it, instantly crushing a large number of carrion-eating black rat cubs to death. Even though new cubs continued to emerge from the underground caves, they could not hurt the hard scales of the red-scaled giant snake.

But Banning actually laughed too.

The laughter made Spland feel uneasy.

"Splinter, if I were you, I wouldn't lay hands on someone else's cub in someone else's home."

Banning pointed behind Spland, and Spland suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"No... Impossible... Wasn't the Rat King lured to the Sangbei Wasteland by me..."

Spland turned his head tremblingly. Behind him was the Corruption-Detoxifying Poison Blade Rat King rushing towards him with a large group of giant carrion-eating black rats and violent carrion-eating black rats.

Now his body was covered with the corpses and blood of the carrion-eating black rat cubs, which was undoubtedly the most provocative hatred.

"Ban-Ning-!!!"

Only then did Spland realize that he had fallen into a trap. He suddenly looked back ahead, intending to drag Banning to death with him, but he found that in the short time when he turned his head, Banning had already escaped on horseback.

What awaits Spland is only a swarm of carrion-eating black rats like a black wave.

4.49 - Bloody Journey Home (Part )

The Sunny Forest is the territory of the carrion rat and its nest.

For a long time, with rivers as boundaries, they rarely invaded human towns, and humans rarely dared to set foot in their territory.

It’s just that in recent years, some members of the rat tribe have mysteriously disappeared for unknown reasons, but this is not something worth worrying about for the huge rat population.

Tonight, a giant red-scaled snake rashly intruded into their territory, which in itself was an unforgivable act of aggression.

What made the rats even more angry was that the red-scaled giant snake not only invaded them, but also trampled on their nest where they bred their young.

It even slaughtered the rat cubs in front of the Corruption-Blazing Rat King!

This hatred is unbearable!

·

Faced with the rat swarms attacking from all directions, Spland had no way to escape and could only fight.

He wanted to transform back into human form and use his skill "Monster Control" to cause infighting among the rats, but the rats did not give him this opportunity.

It takes time to transform back into human form, and it also takes time to use skills. During this time, Spland will be bitten to death by the rats.

Therefore, the only thing Spland could do was to maintain the posture of a giant red-scaled snake and fight the rats to the death.

And this became the last thing he did in his life.

·

At about the same time, Jiang Ran, who had escaped from danger, was sitting quietly on the other side of the river.

The little motorcycle was leisurely eating grass beside him, and he didn't look like he had experienced several life-and-death battles. This guy really has a big heart.

Jiang Ran waited very patiently. Even after the noise in the Sunny Forest died down, he still sat down to rest.

It was not until the forest had been completely quiet for half an hour that Jiang Ran got back on his horse and rode his motorcycle into the forest again.

·

Jiang Ran could easily find the place where Spland was framed without having to remember the way, because the smell of blood along the way was too strong.

Looking at the corpses of countless black rats, Jiang Ran sighed that if he faced the red-scaled giant snake head-on, there would be no chance of him winning.

Now that there were so many monster corpses lying in the forest, Jiang Ran felt it was a waste to leave them there, so he dismounted and picked up the corpses along the way, and "fed" all the magic cores he could quickly pick up to the Black Sword Flame Horse.

The way the Black Sword Flame Horse "eats" is easy to understand. The burgundy ruby ​​inlaid on its hilt is its "mouth". As long as you press the monster's magic core on it, it will be absorbed by it.

By the time Jiang Ran finally found the corpse of the red-scaled giant snake, the Black Sword Flame Horse had already absorbed 37 experience points, including 1 experience point for the magic core of a first-level monster, 2 experience points for a second-level magic core, and so on.

In the forest, under the green trees, the corpse of the giant red-scaled snake was soaked in highly soluble acidic venom. The venom made the rat monsters temporarily abandon its corpse and not stay here to eat.

Looking at the scarlet-scaled giant snake's body riddled with holes, Jiang Ran could hardly imagine how brutal the battle that had just taken place here was. However, it had nothing to do with him anymore. He just came to confirm whether Spland was dead.

Now that Spland is dead, Jiang Ran no longer has to worry about anything and can retire.

Before leaving, Jiang Ran accidentally saw a section of the "Corrupted Poison Claw of the Corrupted Poison Blade Rat King" on the ground. It was probably broken by the red-scaled giant snake during the battle, so he packed it up and put it in his bag, then quickly evacuated.

There are so many corpses here. Before long, a large number of rats will come and eat all the corpses.

The ecology in the forest has its own cycle.

Gradually, the eastern sky turned pale, and the long night finally came to an end.

Jiang Ran was riding a small motorcycle and met the reward hunters who were still on their way back about ten kilometers away from the town.

Due to the large number of wounded and the lack of horses, everyone was exhausted and had difficulty moving forward.

Before returning to the team, Jiang Ran heard Emilia's hoarse voice.

In order to maintain everyone's confidence, she kept shouting.

For everyone, the possibility of enemies attacking again at any time keeps them on high alert.

A focused mind is a good thing in battle, but keeping your nerves tense for a long time will make you tired faster.

To the reward hunters, the last ten kilometers to Sunny Town seemed as endless as a thousand kilometers.

"Emilia! Everyone! I'm back! The enemy has been killed! You don't have to worry anymore!!"

Jiang Ran raised the glowing magic stone and waved it towards the team. His arrival brought new life to the lifeless reward hunter team.

"Oh my god! That's Banning!"

"What? Banning isn't dead?"

"The enemy was killed? The giant snake?"

"That's impossible. How could Banning...?"

"If even the branch chief can't do it, there's no way this newbie can do it, right?"

"But he did come back!"

"Maybe he escaped back?"

"Don't be so careless when you're standing there. Can you escape from that giant snake?"

"Yes, and if he escaped, then why is there no giant snake behind him?"

"..."

Most of the reward hunters did not believe what Jiang Ran said, but there were also a few who argued for Jiang Ran.

However, Jiang Ran didn't care about these things. He didn't want to be high-profile.

The reason why he said those words just now was purely to give this team that was on the verge of collapse a little more strength.

The only thing Jiang Ran really cares about now is Emilia's situation.

Soon, Jiang Ran found Emilia.

She has been commanding the team and taking care of the wounded all the way, and is now haggard.

The worn-out shoes could not protect her feet, and every step she took left a bloody footprint on the ground.

During this long journey, she didn't even have time to take emergency measures for herself.

"Emilia!"

Jiang Ran carried Emilia onto the horse without any explanation. Emilia did not resist. She no longer had the strength to stand.

It was not until she was put on the horse's back that Emilia saw clearly that it was Banning who picked her up.

But didn’t Banning go to distract the enemy?

Banning... came back alive...?

Is this a dream or...?

An irresistible sense of security swept over Emilia's heart. Just seeing the young man's face brought her great comfort.

Finally, Emilia's tense nerves snapped, and she collapsed on the horse's back and fainted.

[Confession death countdown remaining: 1 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Emilia woke up feeling groggy and having a splitting headache.

She thought she was having a nightmare.

In this nightmare,

Branch Chief Oleg suffered severe burns all over his body and was unconscious;

Countless young reward hunters from the quest guild were killed or wounded;

The young man named Banning, in order to save everyone, led the enemy away alone, and his life or death is uncertain;

In the end, Emilia was the only one left, encouraging everyone to move forward in the endless darkness. However, Sunny Town seemed like a place that could never be reached. No matter how hard they tried, they could not see the lights of the town...

4.50 - His Tenderness (Part )

——(It was so real... Was it really a dream...)

Emilia tried to sit up, but found herself in severe pain all over her body and unable to move.

——(What’s wrong with me?)

The body cannot feel pain without reason. Emilia's memory gradually revived along with the pain.

She remembered that last night, Branch Chief Oleg organized a group of outstanding reward hunters to go to the Sangbei Wasteland to fight at midnight... She and Banning were among them.
