As Bai Ye was thinking, a commotion suddenly appeared on the street, and then Bai Ye saw someone approaching rapidly.
"Yo!" Bai Ye looked at the other party and said, "Isn't this the Six Ghostly Fiends? What's going on?"
The Six Ghostly Fiends were six Oni- tộc experts under Rimuru, and also Rimuru's confidants. Shion, whom Bai Ye had fought, was one of them.
Shion was annoyed by Bai Ye's street bum appearance, but after a snort, she said, "Something has happened. The Orc Lord's army is about to attack the marshlands. The Lizardmen have sent a call for help."
"You have received a hidden quest!"
"Assist the Monster Country in rescuing the Lizardmen of the marshlands, defeat thirty Orc Demons. Quest Reward: Permanent increase of 5 points to a random physical attribute."
"Save the Lizardman chief. Quest Reward: Ruby Scepter x1."
"Find and defeat the mastermind demon, Kurumi, Quest Reward: Gluttony ability x1, Magic Fighting Spirit x1, Shard of God's Stone x5."
Here it comes, it's here, it's finally here!
Bai Ye looked at the hidden quests that appeared and started laughing heartily!
Why had he been a street bum for three days?
It was for this moment, for the moment the hidden quests appeared!
Shion looked at Bai Ye's uncontrollable laughter and showed a confused expression.
He was a normal person, although a bit lecherous, and his eyes liked to wander to places they shouldn't, and he was an idle street bum, but he was still a normal person. How did he suddenly go crazy?
A moment later, Bai Ye said, "The Lizardmen of the marshlands are under attack, right?"
Benimaru, the leader of the Six Ghostly Fiends, nodded, "Yes, we just received the news. We are about to go discuss it with Lord Rimuru. Mr. Bai Ye, do you want to come along?"
"Discuss? No!" Bai Ye said, "You guys go discuss, I'm going to the marshlands to save people!"
After saying that, Bai Ye turned and ran.
"Mr. Bai Ye, Mr. Bai Ye..." Benimaru called out twice, then helplessly said to Shion, "Shion, go chase Mr. Bai Ye."
Shion said, "If he wants to go die, let him go."
Hakuro, the oldest among the Six Ghostly Fiends, said, "Mr. Bai Ye is a guest, after all, and he's here to help us. How can we let him venture alone? Shion, hurry!"
"Oh!"
Shion reluctantly agreed and quickly rushed forward.
On the other side, Bai Ye had already galloped out of the Monster Country and quickly entered the forest.
The hidden quests had finally begun, and look at the rewards...
A permanent increase of 5 points to any physical attribute?
Although the increase wasn't much, it was permanent, so he was quite pleased.
Ruby Scepter...
He didn't know what this was, but judging by the name, it might be a magic staff or something similar. It should be good.
Gluttony?
He had no idea what this was. A title? An ability? Magic?
The key was Magic Fighting Spirit. This was something he could roughly understand from its name.
Magic? Fighting spirit?
Regardless of which it was, it should be something Bai Ye needed. As for the Shards of God's Stone, let's not even mention them.
"Hey, wait up!"
As Bai Ye was thinking, Shion's voice suddenly sounded. Then, Bai Ye looked up and saw Shion rapidly leaping through the treetops, chasing after him.
Bai Ye said, "Why are you here?"
Shion landed from the tree and walked alongside Bai Ye, gritting his teeth, "Do you think I wanted to come? They were worried that you would be wiped out by the Orc Lord's army, so they asked me to keep an eye on you."
"Why would you let someone weaker than me watch me?" Bai Ye said, "If something really happens, wouldn't I have to save you?"
Shion's eye twitched. Damn man, can't you speak human words?
But, although he was angry, he couldn't refute it. He had indeed lost last time.
Taking a deep breath, Shion told himself not to get angry, then said, "Then let me ask you, you want to go to the marshlands to rescue them now, right?"
Bai Ye nodded, "Right!"
Shion said, "Do you know what the most important thing is when going to the marshlands to rescue them?"
Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "Strength?"
"It's knowing the way!" Shion glanced at Bai Ye, "Do you know how to get to the marshlands?"
Bai Ye took a deep breath. What you said makes so much sense. He really didn't know how to get to the marshlands.
Shion snorted triumphantly, "If you don't know how to get there, then just follow me obediently!"
Bai Ye couldn't help but retort, "So your only use is as a guide, and you dare to be so arrogant?"
Crack!
Shion clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead.
"I'm just kidding." Bai Ye quickly realized the wisdom of knowing when to stop, waved his hand, and said, "Let's get going, let's get going. By the way, is the Orc Lord very strong?"
"Very strong!" Shion's expression became solemn, and he said seriously, "The Orcs are just lower-class monster species, while we Oni are upper-class monster species. However, the Orc Lord led his subordinates to attack our village, and we had no power to resist. The entire village was annihilated, and only a few of us managed to cover Benimaru-sama's escape. Fortunately, Lord Rimuru gave us names and took us in, which allowed us to survive."
Bai Ye said, "So, you became Rimuru's subordinates?"
Shion said, "From the day I received my name, I have sworn to serve Lord Rimuru until death."
Bai Ye nodded and said nothing more.
...
Bai Ye and Shion moved forward, constantly traversing the forest.
After an unknown amount of time, Shion stopped and raised his greatsword, blocking Bai Ye's path.
Bai Ye said, "What is it?"
Shion said, "I smell Orcs."
The two slowed down and moved forward slowly. After passing through a patch of bushes, they couldn't help but stop.
In front of them, three tall Orcs were squatting on the ground, gnawing on something. Judging from the severed limbs scattered on the ground, it should be...
Lizardmen!
The next moment, as Bai Ye and Shion appeared.
The three Orcs also stopped their actions simultaneously, slowly turned around, blood flowing from their mouths, and even one of the Orcs had a Lizardman's head in its mouth!
Shion held his greatsword horizontally, just about to say something to the opponent...
"Gengar, Shadow Ball!"
Bai Ye directly threw a Beast Ball forward. Immediately, a white light flashed, and Gengar appeared. Before it landed, Gengar had already accumulated a Shadow Ball. The black sphere spun in Gengar's hand, and then Gengar forcefully threw it forward.
Boom!
As the Shadow Ball landed, the roar of the explosion suddenly sounded.
...
