Chapter 712 Griffin and Sensi

Laos said with a somewhat excited tone:

"I've been exploring the maze for so long, but I still haven't seen a living griffin. I'm so excited...!"

"What the hell are you looking forward to?"

Chilchak rolled his eyes at him unhappily, and at the same time noticed Sensi's unusual reaction, and asked:

"Senxi, what's wrong with you?"

"I……"

Senxi's tone was hesitant, and his eyes were somewhat wandering.

"I hate griffins, can we take a detour?"

This was the first time that Sensi clearly stated his demands, but everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Chilchak said in surprise:

"Have you ever seen a griffin before?"

"This one……"

Sensi was vague about this and stammered, unable to speak, while Laos beside him murmured:

"And they said we need to take a detour, but we don't even know where the griffin is. There is no other way except to move forward cautiously, right?"

As he said that, he picked up a feather from the ground and handed it to Itsuzumi, hoping that she could locate the other party through the smell on the feather. Itsuzumi took the feather, sniffed it, and said disdainfully:

"A smell of animal smell."

At the same time, she shook her head. The temperature here was very low and there was no wind at all, so she couldn't smell anything.

But just as Laos showed a regretful expression, suddenly, her ears twitched, and then her face suddenly changed, and she shouted loudly:

"Be careful up there!"

The moment the words fell, a huge monster emerged from the dark shadows above their heads and swooped down towards everyone at an extremely fast speed. Fortunately, Izuzumi reminded them in time, giving everyone time to react and narrowly dodge.

"boom--!"

The opponent missed and the attack hit the ground hard, causing snow to fly everywhere. At the same time, everyone finally saw the attacker's figure clearly -

The upper body is an eagle, the lower body is a lion, and it has a pair of huge wings, exactly the same as the description in the text. Leos' eyes lit up immediately and he said in surprise:

"It's really a griffin, good--!"

However, before Laos could finish his praise, a shadow flashed by, and the griffin's head suddenly turned into a ball of blood mist with a bang.

Under the other party's dull gaze, Fujimaru Ritsuka took back the stick he had thrown and said with a relaxed look:

"It's done."

Although it is also a griffin, compared to the griffin that tested Kasugabe Akari in the small garden world, this griffin is obviously much weaker.

"As expected of a senior!"

Mashu was cheering on the side as usual, but at this time, Chilchak couldn't help but complain:

"This fighting style...is more like a pitcher than a warrior, right?"

"Forehead,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's smile froze, he scratched his cheek guiltily, his eyes wandering as he said:

"That's what a warrior is like..."

I believe you as a ghost!

Chilchak sighed helplessly, not understanding what she was so obsessed with, but he was too lazy to argue with her. There were already enough abnormal people in the team, and one more would not make a difference.

Thinking of this, he even felt a little sad for some reason. Is it really so difficult to find a normal person as a teammate?

"Is this the end? I haven't even had time to see more action..."

Looking at the griffin's body that died at the speed of light, Laos looked a little lost, but he soon cheered up again and said excitedly:

"Well, let's try the taste of griffin meat next!"

Seeing that the other party was still sighing for the death of the griffin in the last second, and excitedly wanted to eat the other party's flesh in the next second, Izujinmei said with disgust:

"This person is so disgusting."

At this time, Malucier and Chilchak nodded in agreement. On the other side, looking at Sensi who was still in shock, Falin stepped forward and said with concern:

"Mr. Sensi, are you okay?"

"I...it's okay..."

Senxi responded reluctantly. At this time, Laos waved at him excitedly and said:

"Sensi, let's cook the griffin!"

"—!"

However, this time, Sensi did not respond positively as usual. Instead, he was frightened and took a step back. Seeing this, even the slow-witted Malucel finally realized that Sensi's behavior was a little abnormal.

"Senxi, what's wrong with you?"

"I……"

Sensi still couldn't answer, and it seemed that he had something to hide. At this time, Chilchak sighed and suddenly began to introduce himself:

"Listen to me Sensi--"

"My name is Chilchak. I was born in a small basin village in the northeast. About ten years ago, I started traveling to various mazes to make a living."

At this point, his tone paused, and he said awkwardly:

"Also, I have a wife and daughter, but I haven't seen them for several years for various reasons."

"——!!!"

Malucier's pupils trembled instantly, her eyes became dull, and she went into a state of shutdown due to being too shocked.

After saying all this, Chilchak looked back at Sensi and said:

"That's roughly my past. Now it's your turn to tell us about your past. Why did you end up living in a maze? What happened to you?"

In fact, when they first met Sensi, Chilchak felt that the other party's words and deeds were a little strange, because when the other party introduced himself, he said that he had been studying monster cuisine in the maze for more than ten years, but this maze was only discovered six years ago.

Back to the point.

Now that the situation has come to this, and with Chilchak's words, Sensi can no longer find a reason to hide it. He sighed and began to tell his story -

In fact, he entered the maze not ten years ago, but decades earlier. At that time, he was a member of a team of dwarf miners who were searching for treasure underground and accidentally dug up this maze.

At that time, the maze was a veritable city of gold. The walls, ground, and pillars were all covered with gold. They were completely fascinated by the wealth before them and continued to go deeper as if possessed. When they finally woke up, they found that they had lost their way in the maze and had very little food left.

Not only that, they were also attacked by a powerful monster, which kept chasing them for some unknown reason. They kept trying to resist, but their numbers kept decreasing. Their food supplies were completely exhausted, and even the horses that transported the goods were eaten by the monster. The remaining team members started quarreling fiercely from time to time and were almost in a desperate situation.

Since he was still young at the time, other members of the team would not allow him to step out of the safe zone to fight monsters, so he had never seen what the monster that was tracking them looked like. He only heard from one of the members that it was a monster called a griffin.

Until the last time, the remaining two companions went out to fight with their companions again, but only one of them came back. The other party told him that the other one was killed by a griffin, but they also defeated the griffin, and he also brought back the griffin's meat for him to cook and eat.

But he still wasn't sure whether the meat the other party brought back was really griffin meat.

Later, the last companion disappeared after he woke up, and he didn't dare to go out. Relying on the remaining meat, he continued to study the map he had drawn so far in the room, and finally found a way out in the secret code left by the ancient dwarves.

So he finally plucked up the courage to leave the room. Outside the room, only his companions' equipment was left, and he couldn't find any monster corpses. He explored with the equipment and finally left the maze.

But because of his previous experience, he didn't dare to return to his hometown, and had been living in the shallow level of the maze until other adventurers gradually began to appear in the maze, and their number increased, and finally he met Laos and his group not long ago.

And over the past few decades, he has always been very concerned about one thing——

Was the meat that the other party brought back at that time really griffin meat?

"..."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became a little heavy, and Senxi's tone paused for a moment, then sighed again:

"That's why I want to escape from the Griffin, because I'm afraid to know the truth."
