Chapter 3: After Resting, I Encountered a Monster
Although Mudan Xing has successfully joined the demon-slaying squad that is responsible for saving the kingdom of Argos and the beautiful princess, their time is extremely pressing. They only have ten days to find the three witches and obtain the method to eliminate Kraken before it's too late. After ten days, the giant sea monster Kraken will be released by Hades, the old king of the underworld.
So for most of the time on the road, they were rushing to catch up, although Muxun Xing also knew how to deal with the North Sea giant monster, but even if he spoke out now, it would be useless, because no one would believe what this outsider had to say.
The temporary team's member structure is also complex enough, with not only soon-to-be-retired old soldiers but also young and vigorous new recruits, two strange hunters specializing in dealing with monsters, a known demigod, and a traverser who originally did not exist in this world.
After leaving the city of Argos, Perseus and his companions arrived at the forest where they would meet Pegasus after several days of tense and arduous journey. Upon learning that it would take four more days to see the three witches, the already exhausted crowd decided to rest in this dense forest before continuing their journey.
Similar to the plot, after a fire was lit, Perseus, who used to be a fisherman, went to the river to prepare some fish for everyone to eat. The others were resting and chatting around the fire, and their main topic of conversation was about the hometown of Mudanxing, an outsider from the Eastern World that they had never seen before. People are always very curious about unknown worlds.
"Are there any famous monsters in your hometown?" The fat hunter asked Mudan Xing curiously, who was sitting opposite him.
He was clearly very interested in the oriental monster, but it's clear that he had no opportunity to go east for a hunting action.
"Are there monsters? Yes, and many of them. However, most can only be seen in places where people are scarce. Among them is a monster called the Qiong, which looks like a giant leopard but has a single horn on its head and six tails, and its ferocity is no less than that of the Nemean Lion that once roamed here."
There is also a strange snake living at the foot of a great mountain called Mount Taihua, with one head, two bodies, six legs and four wings. As soon as it appears, drought will occur...” Mushen Xing smiled and casually mentioned the monsters mentioned in Shan Hai Jing to deal with them. Anyway, these people didn't have the chance to verify the truth of his words.
"How many of those monsters have you killed, are they easy to deal with?" The thin hunter asked out loud after hearing Mudan Xing's introduction to those monsters.
Mudan Xing heard his question and immediately shrugged his shoulders, laughing: "I'm not a hunter who specializes in hunting monsters, but a traveler. I travel back and forth between different continents, observe the different national conditions of each place, experience different living environments, and then write down what I see and hear into stories to let more people know."
A young soldier of the Kingdom of Argos also looked at Mochida with curiosity and asked, "You said that this traveler often travels to various places, so you must have been to many other places too! Tell me about the stories of the places you've been to before. I'm leaving Argos City for the first time and haven't been to any other countries!"
The ancient method of information dissemination is too backward, and it is generally difficult for people in a certain region to know about things in other distant places, let alone the situation in other countries thousands of miles away.
Unlike modern people who can easily obtain most of the information they want by sitting at home and opening the internet, ancient people relied on merchants traveling back and forth between places to spread news from other countries.
So for Mudan Xing, a man who claims to have been to many places, people can't help but want to hear his stories, including the old soldiers in several teams.
Everyone looked eager to listen, so Muxu Xing simply processed the foreign ancient history he learned in history class and turned it into his own experience. He began to tell the crowd about the different ways of life in various countries and regions, as well as various magical legends, leaving everyone on the scene enchanted.
Not long after, Perseus finally swam back, and the leading veteran called him over to start teaching him some combat skills. The people of Muxing Star were watching with a smile on their faces, everything was unfolding just like in the script.
Can't help but say that the qualifications of a demigod are indeed not something that ordinary people can compare to. Perseus quickly mastered the so-called combat skills that his opponent had just taught him, and in the process of practicing, he smoothly knocked the sword out of the old soldier's hand. This is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person, this second-generation god is really different.
Seeing the dust star, I couldn't help but feel a little envious. A powerful main god is indeed different. Such bloodline is rare in the world. Moreover, this brother will soon receive a weapon given by the gods, and those above are different.
After a simple dinner, everyone began to prepare for rest. After all, they still had a long way to go tomorrow. However, at this time, Muxu Xing thought about the possibility of encountering those monsters tomorrow. This time, his main goal in this mythological world was to obtain cells from various mythological creatures, and the backpack behind him was specially prepared for collection purposes.
In fact, Muxu Xing's cells are most eager to get the two North Sea Giant and Medusa, but these two cells are not so easy to get.
Tomorrow those giant scorpions' cells will definitely not be spared, but those flying horses are a bit more troublesome. However, thinking of a way is not impossible, let's talk about it tomorrow.
Mudustar lay on the ground, gazing up at the beautiful starry sky, and couldn't help but sigh that such a stunning night scene was no longer visible in most places in the real world. Industrial civilization had brought countless artificial lights to humanity, making the nights no longer dark and lonely. But it also blocked out the light of countless beautiful stars in the sky with its bright lights. What an irony!
Is it necessary to completely eliminate the current industrial civilization in order to see such a beautiful scene again in the real world? It seems not very realistic. If I were to rule the whole world, with this idea, Mudan Star slowly fell asleep too.
In the early morning, Mauden Star discovered that Perseus had gone into the forest alone before everyone else woke up. He immediately knew that Perseus had sensed the aura of the divine sword left by Zeus. The old soldier also woke up and quietly followed Perseus. Everything in front of him was still proceeding according to the script.
Although Mudan Xing also had the idea of ??wielding that divine sword, this was a weapon prepared by Zeus for his own son, and Perseus still needed to rely on it to seal the dangerous old man Hades. So he stopped thinking about this powerful weapon after all, because he didn't know if it could exert its power in his hands.
And if Hades isn't sealed away, it's absolutely a terribly dangerous thing.
Mudustar simply pretended not to see the other party and continued to rest. Not long after, people began to wake up one after another. At this time, the old soldier came back with a sword handle-like thing in his hand, it seemed that the half-god was sulking and didn't want the weapon given by his father.
"It seems that the divine sword is indeed not something that just anyone can use, even if others were to obtain it, it would be of no use whatsoever." Looking at the unremarkable divine sword in the hands of an ordinary person, Mushen Xing thought to himself, and from then on, he didn't think about the weapon again.
Just then, a cry for help came from the soldiers who had just gone to find Perseus not far away. The crowd, who were about to set off, immediately picked up their weapons and rushed towards the direction of the cry for help.
When they arrived at the scene, they found that two soldiers had already been hanged, and not far away, a half-human and half-beast monster was biting Perseus' arm, who was shouting loudly in pain.
A soldier immediately took out his bow and arrow and shot at the monster. The sharp arrow accurately hit the monster's shoulder, but it didn't react at all, instead biting down on Perseus' arm, tearing off a piece of flesh.
The leading veteran shouted loudly and rushed over, then jumped up and kicked the monster in front of him with a powerful kick, trying to knock his opponent down.
But unexpectedly, this monster's body was too robust. Not only did it not fall down when kicked, but instead, it knocked the old soldier to the ground.
And the monster, instead, took advantage of the momentum to kick away the old soldier who had fallen to the ground, while grabbing the head of another soldier who was charging over with a sword. The enormous strength made the opponent unable to move, and it continued to increase its grip.
Mudanxing, who was rushing from behind, recognized the identity of the half-human and half-beast monster in front at a glance. This guy is the original king of Akris, who was cuckolded by Zeus and now has this appearance due to being struck by lightning, which is the result of a failed facelift.
Actually, everything that happened to this old brother was also his own fault. He didn't have enough strength and brought a large group of younger brothers to attack Mount Olympus for fun. Isn't this looking for death? The gods on the mountain are not so easy to offend, so this unlucky old brother's beautiful wife at home was retaliated against by Zeus, the leader of the gods.
In the end, not only did he ruin his own face and change his name to Charipo, but he also became a pawn of that old man Hades. Being sent to deal with Perseus and his party is really pitiful.
Mudustar had no good feelings towards this guy who was far inferior in strength and still dared to provoke the gods, Mudustar instantly used "Shave" to quickly pass through the crowd in front of him and arrived in front of the half-beastman Karybos, kicking his belly with one foot.
Under the powerful kick of Mudan Xing, even Kari Pos's strong body as a half-beastman couldn't withstand the massive impact. He was kicked flying and crashed into a large boulder, the powerful impact causing many rocks behind him to shatter.
After seeing the monster being kicked away by Dusty Star, the soldiers who had arrived couldn't help but feel a wave of surprise. The monster was so big, yet it was kicked that far with just one kick. This foreigner, who looked weak on the outside, actually had incredible strength that shouldn't be underestimated.
Mudustar didn't intend to stay any longer, he took out the Edman double knives and rushed towards Caribou who was lying not far away. He planned to solve this troublesome idiot here, anyway, he had already bitten Perseus once, it can be said that his mission in this movie has been almost completed, now killing him would not have a great impact on the subsequent plot.
However, Mudustar obviously underestimated the strong vitality of this half-orc brother that could rival Xiaoqiang. If an ordinary person had been kicked by him just now, they would have definitely suffered severe internal injuries and difficulty moving.
As Mudstar approached Caripos, this guy suddenly appeared and threw a handful of mud at him.
Mudustar's slash, influenced by the muddy terrain, only managed to cut off his opponent's left hand, allowing them to narrowly escape with their life.
Caribou, who had just been slashed by Edman's knife and lost a hand, hastily jumped back towards his own rear. With the foot he had just received, this guy now clearly knew that he was absolutely not an opponent of Mochizuki and the others. Like all movie villains, after letting out a menacing roar to the crowd, this guy turned around and ran away with his tail between his legs.
Mudan Xing, who had already made up his mind to take down this guy here, would not let him get away so easily. So he immediately chased after him, and Perseus and the others, seeing the situation, also followed suit.
So what was originally Perseus's pursuit of Calibos has now become Mudan Xing taking the initiative to start killing him.
Because Mudan Xing has already treated this half-human and half-beast guy as a dispensable person, it's better to get rid of him early on and leave some things behind.
