Just as Romo was idling in the ancestral hall, the System suddenly popped up. A notification sounded in Romo’s mind.
[Warning! Warning! Many descendants of the Nicholas family clan are in danger.]
[An urgent mission has been generated]
[Mission Content]
Upon hearing the news, Romo immediately guessed that it could be Zoro and Norton running into problems while searching for the descendants. He quickly checked.
On Zoro’s side, it was already night. Zoro and Charles had checked the surroundings and found almost no movement. They closed their eyes and got ready to rest. After a day’s hard work, they had lost a lot of stamina.
Suddenly, “Sha sha sha” sounds entered Zoro’s ears. He quickly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sounds. He did not care too much because wild beasts would inevitably appear at night in such a forest, and it was easy for him to deal with them.
However, he suddenly discovered that the matter was not as big as he had thought. His facial expression was that of great shock, and he quickly stood up. The noise Zoro made had also alerted Charles, who was about to fall asleep.
Charles knew that something big was about to happen. He stood up quickly and looked in the direction Zoro was staring at. He was already in a defensive posture.
“What is it? What have you seen?” Charles asked softly.
“There seems to be something coming, be careful,” Zoro said softly.
Although the two of them made very little noise, they had still alerted Kathleen, who was in the tent. Seeing that Lily had fallen asleep, she hurried out of the tent.
Looking at the grave expressions on both their faces, Kathleen stared at her surroundings warily.
Although the night sky had a visibility range of only one meter for ordinary people, with the help of energy, the few of them could see almost 20 meters, especially Zoro. His vision at present was almost no different from that of daytime.
“Sha, sha, sha, sha.” The sounds seemed to be getting closer and closer to them. Countless red dots appeared in the gaps between the leaves. It turned out to be pairs of scarlet eyes.
In this manner, one wild beast after another appeared in their line of sight. Their eyes were very similar to that of the wild boar in the morning.
“Everyone be careful. Charles,” Zoro called out softly to Charles, and motioned him to take out his bag, which contained a knife and two swords.
Charles threw the weapons to Kathleen and Zoro. These weapons looked no different from ordinary weapons, but they had been possessed by energy. Together with the energy from the few of them, the power had increased tremendously.
Zoro looked at the beasts and then looked worriedly in the direction of the tent. “Kathleen, take care of Lily. Don’t let the beasts hurt her. Leave the beasts to me.”
Just as Kathleen was about to respond, she saw that Zoro had already rushed in front of the group of beasts, and Charles was following closely behind Zoro.
And Kathleen was in charge of the rear. She stood outside the tent in case any beasts came.
“Howl!” A heart-stirring howl resounded in the air. As if they had heard the command, the wild beasts increased their speed and charged toward the few of them. In particular, that bear, which was as tall as Zoro when it stood up, walked towards Zoro and stretched out its bear paw. Zoro could be seen
slashing down with his sword and the bear’s paw fell to the ground.
Immediately after, Zoro leapt into the air and slashed down, splitting the bear into two.
After dealing with the bear, Zoro dared not stop at all. He continued immediately to fight with the animals. Every time he swung his sword, the life of an animal would end.
Although the wild beasts were already extremely ferocious, with the extraordinary virus, they became even more ferocious. However, they were still very weak to Zoro.
Even to Charles, to kill those wild beasts was just too easy.
Seeing these scenes, Kathleen then heaved a sigh of relief. She gradually relaxed.
“Sister, what’s going on outside?” Suddenly, she heard Lily’s voice coming from inside the tent. Lily was about to go out of the tent.
It was not unexpected that Lily would wake up, given the sounds of battle and the howls of the beasts outside.
However, just as Lily poked her head out, her initially sleepy brain was instantly awakened because she had seen Zoro splitting an animal into two.
Kathleen quickly covered Lily’s eyes to prevent her from seeing the bloody scenes. “It’s okay. It’s just some wild animals.”
Lily was a little frightened, but she was afraid that Kathleen would be worried, so she closed her eyes tightly. Her face had turned a little pale, but she held back her tears. She was still holding her little wooden sword tightly in her hand.
However, she could not hold back her curiosity. From time to time, she would open her eyes and sneak a look at the battle scene.
In less than half an hour, all the wild beasts had been finished off by the two of them. There were no more screams from the wild beasts, and the entire forest regained its calm.
Zoro was still worried, so he decided to leave this troublesome place quickly. “Pack your luggage, let’s go quickly. We can’t stay here for long,”
The appearance of those beasts just now was too strange. Zoro was worried that the next danger would hurt Lily, so he decided to leave.
They were about to leave when there was another rustling sound in the grass. Zoro thought it was another wild beast, so he quickly got ready to fight.
However, upon closer look, he realized that it was not a wild beast but a group of people.
It looked like there were more than ten people, each of them also had weapons in their hands, small knives, swords, and a few of them were even holding bows and arrows aimed at Zoro.
“I didn’t expect to run into those who cultivate magical power. Hahahaha, do you think you’re all very impressive?” Suddenly, a burst of mockery could be heard, and a tall person walked out from the darkness.
Hearing this voice, Lily’s expression changed instantly. She gently pulled on the comer of Kathleen’s blouse and said in her ear, “Sister, they’re the ones who killed Mom and Dad.”
Lily could tell immediately from hearing the voice. She took a closer look at the group and found that several of them were the bandits from back then.
She did not expect what Aaron had said to come true. Enemies were bound to meet again.
Lily looked at the group of bandits. She was not frightened by them. Her eyes were full of anger and hatred. She wished she could rush up and kill them immediately to take revenge for her parents.
‘It’s them. That’s for sure. I’m definitely not mistaken. Sister, they were the ones who killed my parents,” said Lily through gritted teeth as she clenched the little wooden sword with greater strength.
Kathleen glanced at the bandits. ‘Don’t worry, Lily. These people have delivered themselves to our door today. We will definitely avenge all of you. Lily, you don’t have to be afraid.”
