"… …"

After searching in the dark forest for a few hours, Paul seemed to have seen a black shadow flash past his eyes. He knew that it was the Demon Cat.

As he stealthily led his teammates through the forest, they saw their target.

The Cursed Cat Demon's appearance made them feel a little scared. It squatted on top of a rock, stuck out its tongue and licked its claws. In the eyes of Paul and the others, it was emitting the light of money.

With a swish, Paul drew his sword. They were ready to hunt. There were no other monsters here, and they were confident in their own strength.

The only female in the team was holding an arrow and aiming at the cat demon. "Xiu", the arrow pierced through the air and shot towards the cat demon.

The Cursed Cat Demon repeatedly ignored the arrows flying towards it, continuing to lick its claws with its head down. The arrow was about to hit it, it raised its head, and under the black fur, was the masked face, leaping up lightly.

The hair on the Cursed Cat Demon's body stood up as he looked over. It knew that the humans were still there. It was just playing around, because it always knew where the humans were.

It arched its body and let out an unpleasant cry. A bow and arrow pierced through the leaves and shot towards its head. This time, it did not dodge, and the bow and arrow were broken.

The arrow was snapped under the claws of the cat demon, which looked at the forest with a mocking expression.

The surrounding trees rustled as the Cursed Cat Demon turned around and ran deeper into the forest.

Seeing that the Cursed Cat Demon was trying to escape, Paul immediately gave the order to give chase. Archers continuously shot arrows at the Cursed Cat Demon in an attempt to injure it, but the monster always dodged the arrows.

Paul and the others didn't notice that the wild beasts were advancing at a speed that was several times faster than humans. The Cursed Cat Demon seemed to have slowed down on purpose to lure them into the forest while wandering in front of their eyes.

The arrow shot towards the grass in front of the Demon Cat. The Cursed Cat Demon stopped and turned around to look at them. The two holes on its face seemed to emit a purple light.

Paul looked at his surroundings. They had been lured to an empty space, surrounded by shrubs the size of half a person, and the cat demoness was right beside the shrubs. Paul thought he heard the sound of crying, and he thought to himself that this kind of cat demoness could actually make the same sound as crying.

Suddenly, the Cursed Cat Demon dived into the bushes and started crying softly. Paul suddenly felt the hair on his body stand on end. He looked around and felt that something was wrong.

There was a rustling in the surrounding bushes, as if something were moving through them, and Paul knew they were in trouble.

"Ready!"

His sword glowed with a blue light, but his teammates' blades and blades didn't. They didn't grasp the skill and took a deep breath.

"Meow!"

A cat demon suddenly jumped out from the left side of the group and pounced towards them. It was an ordinary cat demon.

Paul took a step forward and saw a streak of light pass by him. The cat demon let out a blood-curdling screech as it fell to the ground. It then fled, leaving behind only a small trace of blood on the ground.

This was the forward.

A continuous stream of cat demons came out from the bushes, but they did not attack. Twenty or so cat demons surrounded them. The injured cat demon was not one of them, and the Cursed Cat Demon was not one of them.

They circled around Paul and the others, and Paul leaned back, handing his back to his teammates.

This was the first time they had met so many cat monsters. The first time they had heard the words of the old people in the city before they became workers.

"You can either conquer nature, become nature, or give up. Since you dare to come here, no one must be responsible for your lives."

They didn't understand what he meant. The difficulty level of the outer layer was not high, and was completely not as dangerous as the old man had said. Gradually, these words were forgotten in the corner of their memories.

All the workers were here for one reason, money! There were only a few ways to earn money. Work, business, and becoming a union worker, they had chosen to work for a profession that had a high degree of freedom, but now no one could help them. They were trapped here, working hard to resist the attack of the cat demon, but fortunately, the cat demon didn't seem to have any plans to press down on them at once.

They only had one thought left in their minds: "Break away from them and live on!"

Paul's sword was a little dull, but the surrounding cat demons were not missing at all. They couldn't kill a cat demon in an instant, and once those cat demons were injured they would run away. At the same time, new cat demons would also join the siege.

He wanted to break through, but he had already missed the best opportunity. Their stamina had been severely depleted by the cat demons, and now he was at the end of his rope.

There was no way they could escape now. Paul forced himself to walk with heavy steps, thinking that he would take one with him even if he died, but unfortunately there was no way he could get married.

"What a pity …"

There were more and more wounds on their bodies, but they were all small wounds. However, they could be accumulated bit by bit. The equipment on their bodies were like chains stretching out from the forest, trying to keep them in the forest forever.

The last of the red medicine on their bodies had been used up. They were going to fight with their lives on the line!

"Charge!" Paul forced a breath.

"Yes …" They had all made their final preparations.

This was the true cruel truth of the forest. The elders seemed to be right, the forest was truly dangerous. The cunning Cursed Cat Demons would definitely leave them here.

The five of them took a step forward and pointed their damaged weapons at a spot in front of them.

Charge!

The cat demons all dispersed and ran towards their surroundings. They even let out unpleasant cries, which were like mocking laughter that continuously echoed in their ears.

A black figure flashed past them. They felt a pain in their bodies as the Cursed Cat Demon left a small wound on their bodies. The cats had retreated for some reason, and the five of them embraced each other as they laughed silently, rejoicing that they were still alive.

They walked on the road back. For some reason, their steps became heavier and heavier. Paul felt more and more unwell. His teammates began to feel nausea, hypoxia, and cold sweat.

His vision became increasingly blurry. He seemed to know what this was, the Curse of the Cursed Cat Demon …

"Looks like I still have to die …"

Paul fell to the ground, gradually losing consciousness. He heard the noise around him, and felt his body lift as squadrons of goblins poured out of the forest.

When he woke up again, in one of the cages, he saw a white goblin sitting on top of a female worker.

After the white goblin was done, he threw the female worker back. Paul looked at the people in the cage. He knew some of them. Other than his own teammates, there were also other members of the team.

A yellow magic array lit up on the ground. The thunder had descended!

They were all struck by the white lightning, and Keno controlled them for a while. They could only feel the pain, but couldn't lose consciousness.

Yes.

They weren't dead, but they were facing a fate worse than death.

They had already given up all hope on the very first day. They knew that on the second day, all the thunder in the Thunder Ruins would be gone …

"… …"

Nearing the exam, your condition is not good, update time is not stable, I hope you can forgive me …
