I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

No matter which one it is, it is not good news for Elena now.

He doesn't know what kind of monster this is, let alone the reproduction cycle of these monsters. It would be bad if he went to kill them and faced countless monsters.

Even if it was just a simple evolution, Elena would have to face a more powerful monster. Maybe it was already very powerful, and now it has evolved and is even more difficult to deal with. What should I do?

In any case, I have to investigate first, at least to see what this monster is, and then go back to the Adventurer's Guild for help.

As an old hand in the mercenary world, Elena has long passed the age of being strong. Faced with tasks beyond his ability, he will not force himself for the sake of face.

There is only one life, but face can be earned back. Which one is more important, at least in Elena's eyes is still very clear.

Following the vague traces and moving forward, they are already nearly three or four kilometers away from the village, and have not found a place similar to a monster's nest.

But it was not without any gains. On the way, Elena picked up a pink ribbon, which was obviously a girl's item.

"This is Mary's headband. Mary disappeared more than a week ago!"

A villager behind him recognized the conspicuous ribbon, which came from a village girl who had long disappeared.

Judging from the other party's lonely appearance, it seems that he has a good relationship with the village girl named Mary. Maybe the two are in an ambiguous relationship.

Elena has no interest in these things and handed the ribbon to the man. After all, the other party looks like he will keep these relics properly.

This ribbon was not thrown away casually. The monster did not notice that this thing might expose his whereabouts. It was obviously secretly taken down by the woman named Mary and placed on the road.

This was a distress signal from the other party. On the way to the abyss by the monster, she did not give up hope of life. She left the ribbon on the road and hoped that the subsequent rescuers would see this thing and follow it to find its owner.

But to be honest, it happened a week ago. The woman named Mary might have met with an accident.

A week without food or water can weaken a person to death. Elena doesn't think that the monster will be kind enough to take care of humans.

Besides, the monster brings humans back to its nest, either to eat them as reserve food or as a breeding tool. No matter which one, Mary will not be safe.

Following this only clue, Elena continued to lead the villagers forward. He was sure that they were getting closer and closer to the destination. After all, he could already smell the unpleasant fishy smell in the air.

Frowning and looking back, it seemed that only he could smell the smell. After all, these villagers were just ordinary people, not like Elena who had extraordinary physical fitness.

The blood of the white dragon strengthened Elena's body, and his five senses became particularly sharp under his strong physical fitness, as if his sense of smell had been greatly enhanced.

Although not as sensitive as canines, it is still possible to smell smells that ordinary people cannot detect.

With the smell, things became simple. Following the smell, Elena quickly found the monster's nest.

It was an inconspicuous cave in the dense forest. It was pitch black from the outside and it was difficult to see the situation inside.

But the transparent liquid on the ground and the stone walls of the cave was very conspicuous, and it looked sticky.

Disgust appeared on Elena's face. He didn't want to go deep into such a cave. He always felt that his body would be made sticky and might even be contaminated with some strange smell.

The villagers behind him were trembling. Although they didn't have the sharp five senses like Elena, they could still sense the strong demonic energy inside the cave.

The skin felt like it was pricked by countless small needles, and the itchy and painful feeling was quite uncomfortable.

The most difficult thing to keep calm was the fear that was constantly aroused in their hearts. They were just a group of ordinary villagers, and what they did most was farming and grazing.

Fighting with wild beasts was limited to ordinary wild wolves. When they thought about fighting with the monster emitting terrifying demonic energy deep in the cave, their legs couldn't help but tremble.

"Jack, where are you going?!"

At this time, a young man named Jack ran away. He was usually more timid than most people and he didn't have the courage to enter this dark cave.

If only one person ran away, it wouldn't matter, but if someone took the lead and did something, some people who had similar ideas would follow the "first bird" and leave.

In a blink of an eye, a large number of villagers threwThe monster gave up before they even saw the monster.

Only a few villagers were left standing there, staring at each other. They were the kind of people who escaped too late, and now they were in an awkward situation where they didn't know whether to leave or not.

"You go back, I can do it alone, you are just in the way."

Elena was a little helpless, and waved his hand to signal them to leave. Anyway, he didn't think these people could help from the beginning.

He was even right. These ordinary people staying here were just a hindrance. If they really encountered a monster, they would have a hard time being a meat shield, let alone helping Elena fight.

If they couldn't defeat this monster and wanted to escape, the villagers who stayed would affect Elena's determination to escape.

It would be better to let these people leave earlier. From the beginning, the villagers followed them just because they wanted to.

After hesitating for a while, the villagers still chose to leave. They were still self-aware and knew that they couldn't help much with their own strength.

However, they would not leave like this. After returning, they would try their best to find support. It was hard to say whether the Adventurer's Guild would send anyone over.

The troublesome people left, and Elena checked the weapons in his hand. After confirming that everything was correct, he walked into the cave alone.

His golden eyes radiated light, and he did not need an external light source such as a torch. His special vertical pupils could break through the darkness.

As soon as he entered the cave, Elena's brows could not help but frown. The smell inside the cave was particularly strong, and according to Elena's feeling, most of these smells were poisonous.

It would not threaten life but would affect people's consciousness. Inhaling too much of this gas would make it difficult for the brain to function, and the consciousness would be confused and unable to think.

To put it simply, staying here for a long time would turn you into an idiot.

No matter what the villagers captured by the monsters were like, they would definitely not be able to move freely in their current situation. Even if Elena held the monsters back, they could not expect them to escape alone.
