[The Eighth Month] [In the darkest moment before dawn, a loud bang woke you up!] [“Boom!!”] [The entire cave shook violently, and gravel and dust fell down in showers.] [“What happened?”] [You were somewhat confused.] [But soon, you didn’t need to guess.] [Piercing shouts, the sound of clashing blades, and…] [“Kill these filthy green-skinned bastards!”] [“For our abducted kin!
Purify this filthy land!”] [Humans!!] [Humans have come to purge you!] [It’s over, it’s over…] [You thought to yourself.] [You knew the strength of humans.
With this rabble of a tribe, there was absolutely no chance of winning!] [Run!
You must run immediately!] [Staying here would only lead to death!] [Without hesitation, you turned and ran toward the depths of the cave—that was the cave’s exit.] [However, just as you rushed near the exit, you saw a few Goblin corpses lying ahead…] [But there was no one outside.] [“How is there an ambush at the back door!!”] [You exclaimed.] [“Think of a way, Ray, you cannot die here…”] [Your brain was working rapidly, thinking of countermeasures.] [“The back door is located in a remote area, and it is too narrow to hide people.”] [“Plus…”] [A cunning rabbit has three burrows; there are many back doors to the cave.
To surround and suppress, they would have to split their forces.] [Therefore, the number of people guarding here definitely does not exceed three.] [“There is still a chance to survive, as long as I can find the person hiding…”] [“I can kill them!!”] [But the problem is…
you can’t find them, and even if you did, you might not be able to beat them.] [“Ray…
don’t, don’t leave me behind.”] [Just when you were at your wit’s end, you heard a familiar voice.] [“Little Sun?”] [You looked at him as he chased after you, your eyes rolling around…] [Got it!!] […] [A moment later.] [Little Sun stumbled forward a few steps and fell to the ground, landing exactly in the spot where the moonlight was brightest.] [“Hm?”] [The shadows fluctuated, and a thief appeared a few steps away from Little Sun.] [He was clearly stunned, not expecting a human child to run out.] [He sheathed a dagger and asked cautiously but with confusion: “Child?
Why are you here?”] [Little Sun looked at the thief.] [He spoke hesitantly.] [“I…
I was captured!
They…
they want to eat me!
I barely managed to escape during the chaos…”] [Seeing this aggrieved appearance, the thief’s vigilance relaxed a bit, and sympathy appeared in his eyes.] [“Don’t be afraid, child, you are safe now.
I am here to rescue you all.
Have you seen other captured people?”] [“Where are those Goblins?
Where did they run off to?”] [Little Sun raised his dirty little hand, seemingly very frightened, and pointed behind the thief.] [“It, it seems to be behind you…”] [“What?!”] [The thief felt a chill in his heart.
Almost reflexively, he drew his dagger and turned around sharply…
but there was nothing there.] [Now is the time!] [Like a long-coiled viper, you poured all your strength into your arm and thrust the stone sword like a javelin, fiercely stabbing at the thief’s unprotected neck!] [“Pfft!”] [A muffled sound.] [The stone sword accurately pierced his vital point!] [The thief’s eyes were filled with disbelief, and a “hissing” sound leaked from his throat.] [Without hesitation, you pounced on him, twisted the stone sword with force, and completely ended his life.] [You panted heavily, pulled out the blood-stained stone sword, and your heart was still pounding wildly.] [Until there was no movement left in this area.] [You knew you had won the gamble.] [There was only one person left on guard here…] [You quickly ran to the thief’s corpse.] [You wanted to loot his equipment and then flee this place of trouble.] [But the next moment, Little Sun grabbed your hand.] [“Ray…
you are leaving, aren’t you?”] [You froze for a moment, then nodded.] [Little Sun bit his lip, his voice trembling but exceptionally firm: “Ray…
can you…
take me with you?”] [“I don’t want…
I don’t want to go back to the church orphanage.”] [You were shocked.
You didn’t expect this little guy to make such a request.] [It seems that the long-term deception has caused this child to develop deep feelings for you.] [But a Goblin taking a human to flee?
How is that possible!] [“Get lost!”] [You mercilessly shook off his hand.] [Every second is precious now; the humans could discover this exit at any moment!] [You had no time to tangle with him.] [You went about looting the thief’s belongings.] [shadow cloak (Fine): Can conceal aura and increase the wearer’s speed.] [boots of swiftness (Fine): Allows the wearer to run faster.] [(PS: The quality of weapons from bottom to top can be divided into: Common, Fine, Rare, Precious, Perfect, Epic, Legendary, Mythical.)] [Two pieces of Fine equipment!
This ambush was an absolute steal!] [Your original fear was diluted by the huge sense of gain.] [“This thief is really well-off!”] [You said with a smile.] [Fine equipment is legendary magic equipment.] [Items with attribute bonuses are all very valuable.] [Now it all went to you, and you have already started to imagine your future life.] [You also swiped a small leather pouch from his waist, which contained a few silver coins, copper coins, a small bag of healing powder, a bundle of sturdy rope, and some lock-picking tools.] [However…] [“Where is the dagger?”] [You clearly remembered that the thief should have had a dagger in his hand.] [You looked at the thief, then at the ground, but couldn’t find any trace of the dagger.] [Just as you were puzzled, a sense of crisis swept over your entire body!!] [But before you could react.] [“Pfft.”] [A sharp pain came from the top of your head, and then warm blood flowed down along the bridge of your nose.] [It was Little Sun…] [The dagger was poisoned, and your whole body was paralyzed.] [Although you couldn’t turn your head, you could imagine his expression just by hearing his sobbing voice.] [“You lied to me…
You said you would never leave me…”] [“You liar!!”] [As these words fell, your consciousness began to blur.] [The world gradually faded into darkness in your eyes…] [You died.] […]
