Chapter 284 - Death Stinger (1) (1/2)

The leader commanded several swordsmen who had more strength to pull the cart. There were two swordsmen to pull each of the goods carts.

Obviously, this would slow them down. Besides, this also would reduce the group's fighting capability. Although when the battle started, the swordsmen still could join the battle, there would be some delay before they could really enter the battle.

However, the guard's leader didn't have any choice. They could not abandon the goods carts since it was their mission.

”Let's get moving!” After assigning two swordsmen to each of the carts, the convoy started moving once again.

Along the way, the leader thought about something. He sensed something wrong about this journey. The monster in the cave became more aggressive.

During several times of experience doing the guarding job, there were no others that could be compared with this journey. The number they encountered monsters were very high during this mission.

From the [Human Faced Bats] until the [Blind Hyena], they encountered a lot of them. It was as if the monsters attracted to them. What unfortunate was that they met the [Blind Hyena]'s boss with so many [Blind Hyena] left.

”Is it the goods?” The leader thought in his head. He looked at the goods cart behind him.

”Should he opened it?”

In the end, the leader shook his head. It was just them that was unlucky. If they blamed it on the goods every time they had an unfortunate encounter, they would have long gone out of business.

The convoy's speed reduced a lot after the horses' death. Moreover, they encountered several packs of [Blind Hyena] along the way. Fortunately, there was no another [Blind Hyena]'s boss since they had killed one back then.

One hour later, the convoy had passed the [Blind Hyena]'s territories. ”Be more cautious! We have entered the [Death Stinger]'s territories.” The guard's leader reminded the team.

[Death Stinger] was a poisonous monster. It had a form of a scorpion. However, its size was not as small as an ordinary scorpion. It was at least as big as a dog.

The poison was gathered at the tip of its stinger. Although it was poisonous, the poison still could be cured by a cleric or an antidote. But, they had to be treated as soon as they were infected by the poison, or it would be too late to save them.

Of course, the leader had prepared a bunch of antidotes when they knew that they would pass this place. However, the number was still limited, and they still had to rely on the clerics. Unfortunately, one of the clerics had died at the [Blind Hyena]'s territories.

And, the one that they talked about had come. Three [Death Stinger] arrived in front of the convoy, welcoming them.
