Episode 3: The Beast Mountain Range Chapter 16: Cruelty (Next)

“Linley, it’s actually you, great.”

Only a joyful voice could be heard as a lean youth quickly trotted over, this youth was the very same one that Linley had met on the road to the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The other two from back then, his own fellow classmate ‘Deshart’ as well as the mangy man ‘Kawa’ were dead.

At that time, when facing the wind archer, Linley had cast the earth magic ‘Earth Surge Gun Formation’, the agile level 5 warrior ‘Matt’ had taken the opportunity to escape, but Linley hadn’t cared in his heart that the other party had escaped first. After all, Matt didn’t have much of a friendship with himself.

To be honest, amongst those three, Linley had some trust in his fellow trainee ‘Deshart’, and that mangy man ‘Kawa’ gave him a pretty good impression, with this ‘Matt’ being the only one who made the most general impression in Linley’s mind had the most average impression.

“So it’s Matt, I didn’t expect that we’d be able to meet in the Magical Beast Mountain Range after a month of separation.”

Linley remained calm.

Matt, however, acted very excited, “It’s really great, I almost became the snack of a magical beast a few times in the magical beast mountain range this month, luckily my life was great, eek, Bloodthirsty Warpig? Linley you killed the Bloodthirsty War Hog? That’s really awesome.”

Linley smiled.

“I’m starving, I’ve heard people say that the meat of the Bloodthirsty War Hog and the Bloodthirsty Iron Cow are both very powerful and chewy, I haven’t eaten my lunch yet, would you mind sharing a bit of the Bloodthirsty War Hog meat with me.”

Matt said jokingly.

The Bloodthirsty War Hog was so big, the meat of the whole body definitely had several hundred pounds, I’m afraid that ten people would be enough to eat it.

“Of course I don’t mind.”

Linley flipped his hand over and took out his short blade before going to dismember the Bloodthirsty War Hog.

“Linley, you don’t have to do it, this Bloodthirsty War Hog is your trophy, how can I let you get busy, I’ll do it, my barbecuing skills are amazing.”

With that said Matt walked towards the Bloodthirsty War Hog, at the same time drawing out the short knife at his waist.

Matt juggled the short knife and easily began to dismember the bloodthirsty war pig, but he also separated all of the bloodthirsty war pig’s limbs, tongue, and tail, and also washed them in the creek next to it.

“Boss, his technique is quite skillful, it seems to be no worse than yours.”

The little shadow mouse ‘Bebe’ jumped onto Linley’s shoulder and said in a soul transmission.

Linley turned his head to look at the adorable little Shadowmouse ‘Bebe’ on his shoulder, but in his heart, he sighed a little; when outsiders saw such a little black Shadowmouse, I’m afraid that they would think that it was really just an ordinary little black Shadowmouse that didn’t pose much of a threat. But in reality – Linley still remembered the horrifying scene where the little shadow mouse ‘Bebe’ had killed that black shadow killer, as well as killing that hypocritical little girl, in a fit of rage.

“You can’t judge a person by their appearance, and this magical beast can’t be judged by its appearance either.”

Linley sighed in his heart.

While that Matt was very quickly setting up the grill at this time, he also took out some coarse salt from the package on his body, “Linley, this bloodthirsty warthog’s thigh meat is definitely strong, and this warthog’s tongue is tender and flavorful, as well as that pig’s tail tastes very good.”

Speaking with his mouth full, Matt had already skillfully sliced the war pig’s tongue and pig’s tail into several portions. Watching Matt light the wood with a flint, even though Linley knew fire magic, he stayed by the side without intervening and watched as Matt quickly kept roasting.

After a long time.

“Almost done, taste it.”

Matt very enthusiastically handed a pig thigh to Linley.

Linley, however, turned his hand back and gave this pig thigh to Bebe next to him, who immediately took it cheerfully and ate it with a big mouthful. This pig’s thigh was three or four sizes too big for Beibei, but Beibei had eaten this pig’s thigh cleanly in just a short while.

This scene also left Matt dumbfounded.

“Worthy of being a magical beast, even the Black Shadow Mouse is so capable of eating.”

Matt sighed, while handing a roasted war pig tongue to Linley, “Linley, come taste my handiwork.”

Linley smiled and refused, “No, I’m not used to eating it, that thigh meat will do.”

Linley grabbed a pig thigh meat and ate it with reckless abandon, next to him, Matt smiled and said, “I won’t force you then, if you don’t eat it, I’ll eat it, haha.”

Matt enjoyed slowly eating the pig’s tongue along with the pig’s tail.

While Linley had eaten the entire one war pig thigh to his stomach, the roasted war pig thigh next to Matt hadn’t even taken a bite.

“You’ve eaten it all? Haha, fine, I’m kind of half full now, I’ll eat this pig thigh when I’m hungry.”

Matt took out a piece of oilcloth from his own parcel and wrapped this pig thigh up, putting it in the middle of the parcel.

Linley glanced at Matt.

It seemed that this Matt wanted to set off with himself.

“Matt, it’s enough for me alone to try out in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, let’s split up here.”

Linley said directly.

Matt immediately frowned and said, “Linley, this is a very dangerous place in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, it’s much safer for the two of us to be together. To be honest, in the past month, I’ve been so frightened that I can’t even sleep at night.”

“Whatever then.”

Linley stopped talking nonsense, alone, advancing at breakneck speed towards the deep forest, Matt immediately rushed up from the rear with a smile on his face, only for his gaze to occasionally glance over the leather package on Linley’s back, and a strange light swept across his gaze.

“This parcel, it’s not the same as the parcel Linley carried a month ago, and it’s also much more bulging.”

Matt sneered in his heart, but the smile on his face grew more and more affectionate. Matt wasn’t Linley, he had tried out many times in other places long before he entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Matt quickly followed, his mouth smiling playfully, “Linley, you’re really good, following you I feel much more at ease in my heart, two people are after all much stronger than one, sleeping at night can also be staggered between the two, no need to be careful and vigilant all night.”

Linley, however, was silent, his gaze glancing around from time to time, paying careful attention to the magical beasts in the magical beast mountain range. ……

Advancing slowly in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range along the direction towards the north, Linley didn’t dare to continue towards the east, advancing any further towards the east would presumably lead him into the dangerous region of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. Nowadays, the area Linley was in was generally only filled with level 5 and 6 magical beasts.

And along the way Matt followed alongside, the whole thing looking happy.

Two days later.

In the evening, it was dim, and Linley and Matt continued to advance one after the other.

“Linley, do you think we can go back? Honestly, it’s almost time for us to be in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for so long.”

Matt, on the road, suggested to Linley in a whisper.

Linley only shook his head faintly, but didn’t make a sound.

There was also some resentment in Matt’s heart, “This Linley is so alert every night he rests, there’s no chance at all.”

Matt was also unsure about whether or not he could kill Linley, after all, being able to stay in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for so long was proof of strength.

“En?”

As if he had sensed something, Linley abruptly turned his head towards the thorn bushes in the distance, where an indistinct black shadow was hiding.

As for Matt, who was walking next to Linley, when he saw Linley turn his head and turn his back to himself, his eyes couldn’t help but show a hint of greed, and also a hint of excitement. The short knife in Matt’s hand was very skillfully, without hesitation stabbed towards Linley’s back at breakneck speed – Linley turned around violently, and with one hand grabbed the wrist of Matt’s right hand that was stabbing out the short knife, while at the same time looking indifferently at Matt, his eyes were even more icy, and he said in a chilling voice: “What do you want to do? ”

“You-”

Matt was shocked, Matt couldn’t believe that he attacked from behind, the other party even stopped as if he could detect it.

Matt whirled around and looked at Linley with a sardonic smile, “What am I going to do? Great magician genius, I’m telling you, I’m going to kill you.”

Matt’s self-confidence was high, with two people in close proximity, he still couldn’t kill a fifth level warrior who was a fifth level wizard?

Matt’s right arm steeply exerted itself, fighting aura lingering, and with a violent shock it shook Linley’s hand away.

“Die!”

Matt stared hideously at Linley as the short blade in his hand quickly slashed at Linley.

“Roar a terrifying voice, “What?”

Matt’s heart trembled when he heard that voice, and then Matt saw a very small black shadow instantly appear in front of his eyes.

“This, what is this?”

After Matt saw clearly that this black shadow was the little shadow mouse ‘Bebe’ that had been giving Linley a playful ride all day, the little shadow mouse, however, opened its mouth that was covered in densely interlaced sharp teeth and bit down on Matt’s face.

“No…”

Matt immediately flew backward, his head dodging sideways.

“Pfft!”

The speed of the little shadow mouse far exceeded Matt’s imagination, and was not something Matt could dodge, the right front paw of the little shadow mouse swung violently, like a sharp scythe directly cut off most of Matt’s neck, and blood kept spraying out wildly.

“Uh, ah cover the throat area, Matt eyes staring like a bull’s eye, incredibly shocked to look at the small shadow mouse, the heart is full of horror: “Black shadow mouse, it is a black shadow mouse?”

At the moment of death, when his consciousness dissipated Matt’s heart was filled with unanswered questions as well as horror, for this strike he had been preparing for a long time, but he hadn’t cared about the black shadow mouse.

The black shadow rat, the weakest level among the shadow rats.

But at the moment of death, Matt realized that this seemingly cute little shadow rat was the most terrifying monster.

“Boom!”

Matt’s hands that covered his throat eventually hung down powerlessly, and his entire body collapsed powerlessly, blood staining his lapel and reddening the ground.

(Sorry, today the starting point of the annual meeting of writers, tomatoes in the car spent nearly seven hours, but also met a lot of writers oh, huh?
