MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 186: The Wrong Territory

The deer looked strange with its unusually large antlers, and when it finally turned its head towards him, it surprisingly had two heads-the second head growing like a parasite from the side of the first.

Adam, Ryan, Roberto, and Glenn crouched behind Terry, waiting for him to shoot the arrow.

This deer Chaosbeing was pretty weak overall, and it was possible to kill it with an accurate shot to its head to cause Instant Kill.

Five months ago, it would have been difficult for Terry to pull back the string at all, but now, with muscles developed from constant practice, it was almost effortless.

However, the bow was still shaking as he was nervous.

"Remember, its main head is the weakness." Adam instructed him. "The second head is basically

just for show, and this deer can live perfectly fine without it."

"I got it." Terry said, then with a deep breath, he steadied his aim and released the arrow.

The arrow flew through the air with a soft whooshing sound and then went through the deer\'s eye of the main head.

It didn\'t let out a single sound as it collapsed on the ground-dead.

"Good job." Roberto grinned and patted Terry on the shoulder.

Terry let out a sigh of relief, and then a smile broke open on his face.

After leaving their hiding spot behind the bush, they took the deer\'s large antlers with them as it would reap some points for the Hunter\'s Month.

The deer didn\'t have anything else valuable for the Hunter\'s Month, except one would usually cut off its meat for food supply if needed, but they didn\'t have to do that.

After cutting off the deer\'s antlers, they gave it to Glenn, who was carrying a large sack of already-gathered herbs, spices, and monster parts.

The sky was turning orange, and there would be a few hours left before the night fell.

"We still have time," Roberto said while eyeing the sky. "Should we try to find another monster to kill?"

Everyone agreed to do so, and they started heading even deeper in the forest.

The deeper they went, the more dangerous it became.

Terry walked beside Adam, looking at the bow in his hand.

The bow was the main weapon of Kingston family, and his father had been trying to teach him since he was five, but he never managed to learn it properly.

Now, after spending only five months with Adam, he managed to teach him different kinds of weapons, including the bow.

He thought he would be happier to finally learn to use the bow, but he wasn\'t, as there were other weapons he\'d like to use more-the shield and sword, the usual favorites of Tank.

He wanted to follow in Adam\'s footsteps and become a powerful Tank, as, in his opinion, Tanks were the coolest kind of mercenary as they were protectors of those who couldn\'t protect themselves.

They were like superheroes to him, and he idolized Adam, who pretty much looked like a superhero in his eyes.

"y\'know, guys, I planned on perhaps taking my tutorial after the winter holiday." Roberto said, excitement bubbling in his voice.

He was already in his early twenties, and he doubted there was more that he could learn. There was, of course, Three Powers, which he was still pretty clueless about, but he thought he was already prepared to do the tutorial to the best of his ability.

"Really?" Ryan asked with a frown. "So soon?"

"Ah, I have already been here three years." Roberto said with a sigh. "I don\'t want to wait any longer."

"I agree with your decision." Adam said.

"You do?" Roberto asked in surprise, as he had some fears that he might be rushing it. "I\'ve been here five months, and while I learned some things about the Three Powers that even I don\'t know, it\'s most suitable for younger people that have more room to grow.

"We\'re already in our twenties, so this place isn\'t as worthwhile."

"How long do you plan on being in here?" Ryan asked Adam.

"I thought three years at first, but I changed my mind." Adam said with a wry smile. "After these months, I\'ve realized that I\'ve reached the limit of what I can learn from here. I plan on traveling around the New World."

"You\'re leaving as well?" Terry asked in surprise, and he also started thinking about possibly taking his tutorial.

"Yes, after the Hunter\'s Month..." Adam said with a deep sigh.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

The reason why he joined Crimson Hounds was to have some freedom to do things he wanted to do to grow stronger.

While he grew stronger than he expected in Eldertree Institute, it was also chaining his freedom quite a bit, which he didn\'t like.

After leaving the Eldertree Institute, he didn\'t plan on returning to the Crimson Hounds yet, as he wanted to travel the New World as he was more confident on doing that now with his

current strength.

He wanted to go search for some of his golden opportunities to finally pay off the Z Package and have some extra money for himself as well.

"Hmm..." Ryan scratched his chin in a thought.

"Wait, I see something in the distance!" Glenn said and hid behind a thick trunk of a tree. The others followed suit and crouched down, trying to see what Glenn had spotted. At the near clearing, they saw a camp that looked crude-made and long abandoned. The huts were made of wood and leaves, and a small fire burned in the center of the campsite. However, what shocked them was that on top of the campfire, they saw a human skull with the body being roasted like a piece of meat.

The fire was recently lit, and the smell of burning flesh filled the air, so it wasn\'t abandoned. Glenn had to cover his nose at the scent. "Disgusting. Is this some player camp? That can\'t

be."

"It\'s not." Adam said with a serious look and drew his sword from his scabbard. "Goblin

Camp."

"What should we do?"

"The eyes of the goblin\'s give five points each." Adam said. "Pretty worthwhile, in my opinion. They\'re also not that strong of Chaosbeings."

"Shall we take them out, then?"

After a moment of contemplation, they decided to do it.

If it were only four of them-Terry, Ryan, Glenn, and Roberto-they would never dare to do

so, but they had Adam, so they were confident in doing it.

Drip, drip...

Adam\'s body froze in horror as some kind of acid poison fell on his shoulder and began

burning through his skin.

He turned his head up to the trees, and to his horror, a twenty-meter long anaconda with green scales and piercing yellow eyes was hovering above them.

"RUN!"

Suddenly, Adam\'s scream resounded across the forest.

The four young men jolted around and saw Adam look up. They also turned their gazes up and their legs almost gave out from under them as they saw the massive snake descending

towards them.

"Ahhh!"

Adam lifted his shield above him, and the anaconda stabbed its fangs into the metal. The

fangs were clad in its acid poison, but thankfully the shield held strong against the attack.

"Run to the camp!" Adam screamed. "Take defensive positions!"

"What about the goblins?!"

"This is anaconda territory!" Adam screamed. "All the goblins are dead if anaconda is nearby. They ventured into the wrong territory!"
