"… …"

The deepest part of the Dark Forest was connected to the Thunder Ruins. This was where the workers hunted, and there was a certain level of danger here, but it was also where the low-level cat demons and the goblins gathered. The goblins weren't worth much, but the cat demons were different, and the cat demons were what the merchants needed.

The claws and fur of a cat demon were all valuable materials. The income brought by a cat demon was 10 gold coins, which could allow a normal family to live an ordinary life for a month.

Hetonmar was the capital of the Duchy, bordering on the Forest of Gran. Workers relied on hunting to support their lives, and the Duchy's college was also the best place to gain experience in the Forest of Hetton.

The Grassland Forest was isolated from the outside world, and the entire dark forest was shrouded in dark clouds. He couldn't understand how trees could grow so big here, and as expected, a world with magic didn't make sense.

Paul was lying on his bed in the hospital. The night sky was especially clean in Hertonmar; the river of stars was especially bright in summer. The white curtains were moved by the summer wind, and the moonlight shone in from outside, making the room seem especially quiet.

Paul closed his eyes and held the cigarette between his fingers to his dry and cracked mouth. He took a long drag and the cigarette burned faster. He breathed out a mouthful of white smoke and felt a little relieved. He was glad he was still alive.

The person lying on the bed next to the ward was his teammate. He knew that he still hadn't fallen asleep. The two of them just laid there, looking out into the starry sky, silently celebrating that they were still alive.

He took out his cigarette case and noticed that there was only one cigarette left. As he was about to light it, he heard a knock on the door.

Paul sighed, put the cigarette back in the box, and pushed the ashtray beside him. "Come in," he said.

The ward, which was not a loose room, was filled with strangers. Paul saw that there were some other people besides the investigators from Hetonmar Academy. The investigator took out a pocket watch and looked at it. "It's already late at night, but for special reasons, I hope Mr. Louis can forgive me."

Out of the corner of his eye, Paul saw that the person above him had covered himself with a blanket. He said, "It doesn't matter, I haven't fallen asleep yet as well. Although I'm also very tired today, but …" "Even more unforgettable."

The investigator looked at Paul apologetically. There were a few people scattered around him, and he walked over to ask about the details of what happened that day.

"Mr. Louis!" the investigator asked. "You came back to Hettonmar this afternoon, didn't you?"

"That's right!" Paul nodded.

"You were previously captured by the Goblins, weren't you?" the investigator continued.

He didn't want to talk about that day.

"This matter concerns Mister Liang Yue's request and the award ceremony. Please give a serious answer."

"Liang Yue?" Paul looked puzzled.

"Teacher Liang Yue is the person in charge of this rescue mission. He was the one who went to rescue you that day."

"We need you to recall everything that happened since yesterday morning." The investigator looked at his watch. "It's already late at night. Is that alright?"

"No problem!" "I'm still glad that I'm still alive. If I can help the man who saved me, I won't be in the way, and I've been lying down for a while."

Then Paul noticed that the people who had come with the investigators were taking notes with their notebooks, and he wondered if they were reporters.

"But directly from the beginning?" I thought it was going to start when I got up in the morning. " Paul reminded him.

"It's okay. This time we'll get to the bottom of it." "Don't worry about anything. Just remember what to say."

"Alright!" Paul automatically pulled out his cigarette case and put it back in again, and the investigator laughed. "Mr. Lewis, it's normal to smoke up."

"Hmm? "Oh …" Seeing that none of them had any objections, he lit up his cigarette and let the scorching smoke flow through his lungs, once again recalling what happened yesterday.

…

Louis. Paul.

Paul's team of workers was now the best in Hetton Marry, five in all, and he was the captain.

Although it was summer and not the season where monster materials were needed, there was always a place for merchants to sell their products. Thus, they would buy the raw materials for the monsters from the workers, such as the skin and claws of the Demon Cats and the horns of the Tauren.

Paul had learned of the news three days ago, and the amount of the commission had been very attractive. However, the members of the team had been resting at that time, so he hadn't gone into the forest.

Therefore, on that day, many teams of workers went to the forest to hunt and kill, and then on that day, three teams lost contact with each other. Four teams, including Magic Scholars and Gale, he knew a team inside, and even drank wine with the four team leaders, which made him feel somewhat regretful, as he understood that there were some dangers in the forest.

At the beginning, he was still a little hesitant about accepting this mission, but when he heard the merchant's other message, he decided to accept this mission. At the beginning, he was still a little hesitant about accepting this mission, but when he heard the merchant's other news, he decided to accept the mission.

They were the most outstanding workers, so their target was obviously the Dark Cursed Cat Demon, but they could also hunt some ordinary cat demons. From the data, although the Dark Cursed Cat Demon was quite strong, it was still within their range.

After a discussion with their teammates, on the second day, they entered the outer regions of the Forest of Grains, the Dark Forest.

The dark forest and its usual eerie atmosphere were the miracles of magic. The Grassland Forest was separated from its surroundings, which was why this place was so different from the outside world.

Paul was a middle-aged man with more than 30 things. As the captain of the most outstanding workers in the city, he could be considered a high-income worker. He already had a lot of savings, and in a few days, he would be getting married to the female boss of a grocery store in the inner city.

As usual, they headed towards the depths of the Dark Forest. Along the way, they met many goblins and ordinary Tauren. All of them were killed, and as the sky darkened, they entered the depths of the Dark Forest.

He felt that something was off this time. In the process of going deeper, they only met the Goblin and the Ox-head soldier, but there was no sign of the Demon Cat. Even though they were a little suspicious, they still went deeper.

As they continued to search in the forest, Paul and his team felt a little impatient. It was as if there were no cat demon in the forest at all.

Until I met him...
