After Buying a Cat Slave, I Become Obsessed with Eavesdropping on Her Thoughts

In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 18: A Hero Saves a Beauty (1/2)

The adventurers entered the room one by one.

Reiner always had an ominous premonition, so he looked up and observed carefully.

I was afraid that once I entered the room, I would be cut off from my retreat by the falling stone wall, just like what happened just now.

Nora narrowed her eyes and found a clue.

But before she could get close, the ceiling of the cave began to crack and huge rocks fell down.

The adventurers who had already entered the room had their retreat blocked, and Reiner and the others were also trapped in a long and narrow passage.

Several adventurers were buried deep under the rocks, and for a moment the cries for help, crying, and roaring were mixed together.

"Help!"

"There are a lot of goblins in the room!"

"Despicable beast!"

Reiner heard the sound of many swords clashing, and the people in the room must have been ambushed by the goblins.

The adventurers who had not yet entered the room and avoided the boulders were all helping to move the rocks and rescue people.

Even Junice was struggling to move the rocks, helping to the best of her ability.

"We'll help too."

Nora and Martina bent down to move the stones after receiving the order.

Soon they rescued a person from the pile of rocks.

It’s a pity that he was bleeding from all seven orifices and the huge rock smashed his chest. He was dead beyond dead.

"There are still survivors here! Come and dig!" an adventurer shouted.

The crowd gathered around, removed the stones from his body, and pulled him out together.

This man was lucky. Although his two legs were broken by rocks, at least he was still alive.

Junice treated him while Reiner continued digging with several adventurers.

Suddenly, the ground shook and small pieces of gravel rolled down.

Reiner heard the adventurers in the room exclaim, "Oh my God!"

"It's really huge..."

"We can't hold on any longer!"

Reiner shouted, "What appeared? Hey!"

I don't know if it was because it was too noisy inside or what, but no one answered him.

After waiting for a few seconds, Reiner heard Dimas shouting a morale booster on the other end.

Then there was a loud noise.

Several adventurers sped up their efforts to move the rocks: "They're about to collapse, we need to hurry!"

After the last stone was pushed away, light finally came in.

Several adventurers swarmed in, and soon they rushed out one after another.

Reiner glanced at the few people, then carefully led the three of them in. As soon as he stood firm, he saw corpses everywhere.

There were human ones and goblin ones, all mixed together.

Then, he met a pair of cloudy eyes.

A giant goblin was standing in the center of the room, surrounded by a group of smaller goblins.

It differs from other goblins not only in size, but also in its equipment.

Not only was he wearing rusty iron armor, but he also held a blunt sword in his right hand, and the murderous aura he exuded was terrifying.

Reiner also noticed that the Goblin General was swinging a bloody iron hook in his left hand.

Dimas and the few remaining adventurers and followers were confronting him.

The other knight was embedded in the wall, blood oozing from the cracks in his armor. He was already dead.

At the same time, the system's voice sounded in my ears.

[Warning! You are staring into the eyes of the Goblin General...]

"Watch out for its hook!" cried Dimas.

Before he could finish his words, the blood-stained hook attacked Reiner.

His round shield was hooked, and the sudden force pulled him to the ground.
