14. A Long Night With The Monkeys

Shiro who had returned to the forest found a group of Monkey Warriors who were sleeping in the trees.

While slowly climbing one of the trees, Shiro readied his weapon and prepared to carry out a guerrilla attack. But a few moments before he could reach the tree trunk where one of the monsters slept, he was shocked by a flying monster that suddenly hit his head from the side.

"Aw!!" Because Shiro's voice sounded quite loud, the Monkey Warrior who was sleeping in the trunk above slowly opened his eyes. Shiro who was not aware of that, looked down to examine what had just hit his head.

=================================

Power : 100 CP

ATK : 30

DEF : 10

HP : 60

REWARD : Fresh Bat Meat, 1 Bronze Coin And Red Crystal Essence {Level 1}

=================================

Right under the tree that he was climbing, seen a bat the size of a dove with a blackish red color that lay on the ground and then flew away. The name of the monster is Killer bat, the weakest monster among all types of monsters in the world of Emross.

"Damn creature, don't you have eyes!" Said Shiro who then tried to grab the tree trunk above him. Shortly after he looked up again, Shiro looked very surprised to see a Monkey Warrior who was staring at him with an angry face. "Uh..."

The monkey snarls and then shouts in a very loud voice to wake his flock. The monster took the sword on his back and then jumped at Shiro while swinging his sword with all his strength. Shiro who had difficulty avoiding was forced to release his grip from the trunk of the tree he was holding and resist the Monkey Warrior's attack with his long knife.

Shiro restrained the Monkey Warrior's sword and fell at 10 meters height. There was a fierce battle in the air, he tried to get rid of the monkey before they both fell to the ground. While the Monkey Warrior continued to punch his face, Shiro managed to grab the monkey's neck with his left hand and then throw him to the side.

"Bruak!!" Shiro fell to the ground so hard that his HP bar dropped to below 50%. Without having time to complain of pain, another attack came, dozens of Monkey Warriors who carried various weapons began to plunge towards him.

At this moment, Shiro's level is high enough to fight several Monkey Warriors at once. Unlike before, this time Shiro bravely fought them all.

While avoiding attacks from above, Shiro occasionally counterattacked with his long blade. The Monkey Warrior who was already on the ground surrounded Shiro from all directions. Although he was able to compensate them, but the pattern of Monkey Warrior attacks is unpredictable. Their ability to fight is really great, like a trained soldier, and even stronger than the most soldiers in the Mataram kingdom.

Because his HP bar continued to decrease, while avoiding and attacking, sometimes Shiro also ran into the trees to hide and drank HP potions to make his HP bar full again. For almost an hour he fought against the herd of Monkey Warriors, and their numbers did not seem to decrease. Even now, their numbers were far greater than before, because reinforcements from the monkey monsters continued to appear.

Shiro felt that he was no longer able to continue to fight them and decided to run away. While occasionally fighting those who ambushed him from the top of the tree, Shiro continued to set foot running towards the west.

Seeing that his stamina was running out, while continuing to run from the pursuit of Monkey Warrior, Shiro took out a jam sandwich and then ate it. "Damn it, stop chasing me!!" Shiro shouted with his mouth filled with jam sandwiches.

The sun is almost rising and Shiro was still being chased by hundreds of Monkey Warriors who did not feel tired at all constantly running after him.

"Tch! When can I get out of this forest?!" Without realizing it, Shiro had run in the wrong direction. At this time he was running westward and away from the capital in the east of the forest.

In the western part of the forest there are indeed some villages that are still included in the kingdom of Mataram, but the Rahtawu forest has an area three times larger than the area of ​​the capital, and of course it will take quite a long time for him to get out across the western forest border.

Shiro cut down the thickets that blocked his path. In the dark of dawn like this it is very difficult for him to be able to run through the jungle which is still a lot of wild plants blocking the way.

"Kwarrghh!" Several Monkey Warriors swung using roots and freed their swords towards Shiro, while Shiro who was able to dodge all these attacks was shocked by a Monkey Warrior who suddenly jumped towards him. Shiro reflexively raised his left hand and managed to fend off the monkey's attack with his Gauntlet. With a look on his face that was still shocked, he immediately stabbed the monkey with his long knife.

Regardless of the herd of Monkey Warriors who were still swinging to and fro, Shiro hurried to run away. He ran down the bush at chest height, while the Monkey Warrior flock continued to shoot arrows at him. And because he was too panicked to run, Shiro didn't pay too much attention to the area around which was the edge of a cliff. He fell into a ravine that was covered by bushes.

"Aaarrgghhh!!!" His head hit rock and trees repeatedly. If previously his HP bar wasn't full, Shiro would have died before he could get to the bottom.

"Bruaakk!!" The sound of Shiro's body falling to the ground.

"Argh.. My head hurts. It feels like I'm riding a Roller Coaster at full speed..." Shiro fell on the bank of a river full of rocks. He looked up at the direction he had fallen and slowly tried to stand up.

While holding his head that still feels dizzy, he took some HP Potion from his storage room and immediately opened the bottle cap from the potion. But before he could refill his HP bar, a monster who had been enjoying drinking water by the river looked at him with a surprised expression.

=================================

Name : Mephitidae Skunk

Monster Type : Beast

Level : 4

Power : 400 CP

ATK : 90

DEF : 110

HP : 200

Speed : 10 Meters/Second

Note : "The Lonely Wanderers" is the nickname of this Monster. Mephitidae Skunk hates the foul odor that comes from their own bodies, so they are shunned by their own flock and always roaming alone in the darkness of the night.

When in a state of urgency Mephitidae Skunk will issue a foul-smelling fart that makes his opponent reluctant to approach him. Stinky Gas has CoolDown for 1 minute.

REWARD : 1 Bottle of Skunk Gas, 4 Bronze Coin And Red Crystal Essence {Level 1}

=================================

Mephitidae Skunk has a body no bigger than a rooster, has neatly integrated black and white feathers and is classified as a nocturnal type of Monster.

Even though Shiro's HP is less than 10%, but he doesn't look panicked at all after seeing the status display of the Monster that won't be a threat to him.

Shiro who was too reluctant to approach the Monster took a stone and threw it with all his might towards Mephitidae Skunk, thus making the Monster die instantly.

=========================

+40 XP

+4 Bronze

+1 Bottle of Skunk Gas

+1 Red Crystal Essence {Level 1}

Seeing the drop items that began to appear, Shiro was even annoyed with what he got. "Tch! What is this stinking thing use for?!" complained Shiro who then drank the potions he was holding.
