Chapter 30: The Three Forest Rulers Arrive at Kahn Village
After Tang Zheng left "E-Rantel" early in the morning, he followed the information and simple map collected from the Adventurer's Guild.
Heading towards the northwest, the border area of the "Re-Estize Kingdom" near the Tob Forest.
There is a place called Carne Village.
This village.
It is a border village, but has a history of nearly a hundred years. However, even with its long history, it still cannot change the village’s current poverty.
In the kingdom, it is completely inconspicuous and even ignored, but in the anime, it runs through a series of plots! Of course.
This village actually has nothing to do with any of the plots and is more like a plot transit station.
“Wow!”
A goblin lying in the grass on a desolate hill by the roadside suddenly rushed out.
Tang Zheng glanced around and drew out the iron sword at his waist immediately. He easily dodged the ambush goblin by turning sideways and swung his arm to chop it down.
Puff! The sword blade flashed!
The goblin screamed and his body was cut in half on the spot.
"Gain 30 experience points"
Tang Zheng shook off the green blood on the iron sword expressionlessly, looked around, and saw four more goblins emerging from the bushes.
"What a troublesome creature." Tang Zheng thought to himself and said, "Magic Arrow!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! After consuming 5 points of magic power, Tang Zheng consumed another 1 point of magic power and created 4 magic arrows in one breath to shoot at the 4 goblins that appeared.
Four green blood flowers bloomed! As the sound of falling to the ground rang out, the information on the attribute panel emerged.
"Gain 27 experience points"
"Gain 25 experience points"
"Gain 30 experience points"
"Similar to the experience of wild beasts, reaching Kahn Village should allow you to level up by 1. The level does increase faster in the early stages."
Tang Zheng walked forward and cut off all the ears of the dead goblin. After all, the goblin's ears could be exchanged for money at the Adventurer's Guild.
This is a considerable income.
On the next journey.
Tang Zheng encountered several waves again, but it was no longer just goblins, there were also some small monsters attacking.
Under such circumstances, Tang Zheng finally arrived at a small village surrounded by wooden railings and with a little smoke from cooking in the evening.
Take a quick look.
Such defensive wooden railings are basically useless in the face of attacks by monsters in the forest! However, the village of Kahn, which is very close to the Tob Forest, has always existed and has not been destroyed by monsters, which is an interesting thing in itself.
Tang Zheng naturally felt the attacks of monsters from time to time along the way.
After leaving E-Rantel, the number of monsters and goblins gradually increased, but the closer we got to Carne Village, the fewer monsters there were.
This is because, in the Tob Great Forest, there exist three great monsters called "Forest Rulers"!
The great demon beast that rules the forest in the south - the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke.
The ruler of the forest in the east is the Eastern Giant, the Ogre, Gu! The ruler of the forest in the west is the Western Serpent, Naga Rularus! These three beings can be said to jointly rule the entire Tob Great Forest, and Kahn Village is the territory of the Forest Wise King Hamsuke.
This is why no monsters attacked Carne Village.
The levels of these three forest rulers are all around level 30, and the level of the Wise King of the Forest, Hamsuke, is even higher. According to humans, they have all entered the realm of heroes.
But as humans in the same realm of heroes, it is almost impossible for them to be a match for the three forest rulers in a one-on-one situation!
This is the advantage of sub-human or alien species.
Tang Zheng shifted his gaze from the gate of Kahn Village and looked towards the distance, where he could already see the endless primitive jungle that stretched as far as the eye could see.
His view was blocked by the tall and dense branches and leaves, and he could not see anything, but Tang Zheng's eyes showed solemnity and fear.
In the Tob Forest, the truly terrifying ones are not the three forest rulers!
But it is an existence located in the deepest part of the forest!
200 years ago, during the period of the 13 heroes, one of the monsters that descended upon this world was the "Demon Tree". Its level was as high as LV85. Even then, it was not completely destroyed, but was sealed in the deepest part of the Tob Forest.
When the anime story begins.
The reason why Shalltear suddenly encountered the troops of the "Black Festival", the strongest festival in the Silan Church, and they were carrying the world-class item [Alluring Beauty].
It's all because of Shalltear's bad luck!
The "Black Scripture" carries a world-class item, and the real purpose of its deployment is because the seal that seals the "Devil Tree" has begun to loosen.
They wanted to lift the seal on the Demonic Tree and use the world-class item [Alluring Beauty] to control the other party, but they encountered Shalltear.
This led to a fight between the two sides for no apparent reason! In the anime, it was only briefly mentioned, but in the library version of the novel, there is still some description.
The "Black Festival" suffered heavy losses, and the human who used the world-class item was killed by Shalltear's final counterattack before he could be controlled.
This is also the reason why Shalltear became a "wild monster" even though she was clearly controlled. It was entirely because the person who used [Alluring Beauty] was already dead.
"Who are you!"
Suddenly, two middle-aged villagers holding steel forks appeared at the entrance of Kahn Village. They looked alert and vigilantly at Tang Zheng who appeared at the entrance of their village.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Excuse me, I'm a traveler passing by the village and would like to stay here for one night." Tang Zheng looked at the two of them and spoke softly in a gentle voice.
Hearing this.
The two villagers holding steel forks looked at each other. The vigilance and alertness in their eyes did not subside at all. Instead, they first glanced in the direction behind Tang Zheng.
When the two villagers found that Tang Zheng was the only one there, their expressions relaxed slightly.
"Wait a moment."
The two villagers were obviously unable to make a decision. One of them spoke to Tang Zheng, then turned around and quickly ran towards the village.
Didn't have to wait long.
The villager who left came over with a man who looked to be around 40 or 50 years old, with dark and rough skin and gray-brown hair. Judging from his appearance, he should be the chief of Kahn Village.
After the village chief came over, he looked at Tang Zheng carefully, especially lingering his gaze on Tang Zheng's black hair.
"Are you here to stay overnight?" the village chief asked in a somewhat rough voice.
"That's right."
Tang Zheng nodded.
"Then please come in." The village chief did not ask any more questions, but spoke very happily.
This surprised Tang Zheng a little.
There are basically no outsiders visiting Kahn Village all year round. Only in late autumn will tax collectors and merchants who buy medicinal herbs come here.
"village head?"
The two villagers spoke with some surprise, obviously not expecting the village chief to agree so readily.
It was already evening, and coming to their village at this time obviously made the two villagers feel uneasy.
"These past one or two months, the monsters and wild beasts in the forest have been the most agitated." The village chief sighed and opened the railing.
Hearing this.
The two villagers then realized that although their village was peaceful, the road to here was not peaceful.
The fact that the other party was able to come here alone shows that he is very powerful. The wooden fence in the village can't stop him at all.
The other party didn't do so, which meant that the black-haired boy had no ill intentions.
Figured out this joint.
The two villagers were no longer as cautious as they were at first.
Under the leadership of the village chief, Tang Zheng followed the other party into Kahn Village.
