008 Mutant Demon
The "Monster Lost" is the lowest-level monster in Urenos.
The original meaning of the name is "a creature that loses its mind", not specifically referring to one, but a general term for all monsters with the same characteristics!
They are formed by the loss of normal thinking by some sub-intelligent creatures on the continent due to being polluted by the dark aura. Their appearance is characterized by baring teeth and constant drooling, as well as blood-red eyes. However, they are generally not strong and retain most of the characteristics of the original race, but are just full of desire to destroy.
The heartless monster formed by weak races can be roughly one-on-one for trained adults!
For example, the three types in front of you:
Those pointed green-eared creatures that are short and look like dried old men are the common races called "goblins"... Normal goblins live in forests and valleys, eating beetles and small animals for feeding. They have simple thinking and social structures, but they are very brave. They will panic when they see humans! If they approach you carefully and show flattery, they may fall in love with something on your body and beg you to give it - this is no different from the actions of kittens and dogs.
But the goblins that have become lost monsters are much scary! In their hands, there are sharp slices made of stones, and they are wrapped in rag strips and become simple daggers... Don't underestimate their thin body, their thin arms and legs are much more flexible than imagined. They can jump onto you unexpectedly and give you a fatal blow with the dagger - just like human assassins! Then they rush up to tear your clothes, snatch away useful things from you, brutally compete for your body and have a full meal.
In addition to goblins, two other heartless monsters appear in pairs, namely "tree demons" and "tree demons".
In fact, the "little goblin" with a palm-sized size is also one of the common sub-wisdom races on the continent. The branch of "tree goblin" is synonymous with "peace" and "kindness"! There are rumors that the tree goblin may be the incarnation of the elves after their death, and thus inherits the usual characteristics of the elves: gentle and kind, love nature... The tree goblin has a petite and cute face, a beautiful figure, and colorful butterfly wings. He always plays a crisp harp wherever he goes, and uses a pleasant singing to make the dead old tree wake up again and turn into a tree man walking in the forest.
But when they were polluted by the dark aura and became "heartless monsters", the cute tree goblins also turned into bloodthirsty monsters! Their beautiful butterfly wings became as dirty as gray moths, and their beautiful singing voices also turned into harsh screams. The strings in their hands were used as bowstrings, shooting sharp arrows with toxins. At this time, the tree companions they awakened were no longer peaceful travelers of peace, but became "tree demons" full of thorny vines.
The goblin assassin, the little goblin archer, the tree demon of the heart.
These are the three most numerous monsters in the dark valley north of the small village of Dore.

"The archer is ready for the first shot!"
"Others are on standby behind the wall! Be careful to avoid goblin arrows!"
"Listen to me - let it go!"
The self-defense regiment commander Antonio's deep voice made clear instructions, spreading all around.
This is not the first time that the small village of Dor has encountered monster attacks. As long as the monsters in the dark valley gather in a certain number, they will always attack the surrounding villages, with certain rules.
As long as the wall is not broken, such a battle is actually a kind of training for the Door Village Self-Defense Corps!
At this moment, the three adventurers stood behind the wall separately, taking care of the area - they did not take action for the time being, because according to the current momentum, the monsters had been wiped out in large numbers before they got close to the wall, and they might not be able to break through the wall in the end.
"Hehe, look at me." Behind the adults was the area of the small reserve members. Gene whispered to Dell in a low voice, then raised his bow and arrow and shot high towards the sky.
This is the benefit of the archer, you can launch an attack far behind!
Even if Gene can't play as the first echelon, he can still contribute.
"call out--"
Seeing Gene's arrow crossing a high parabola, it fell accurately on a heartless goblin with a fangs and claws, and nailed it to the ground.
"Yeah! Did you see it? Is this arrow accurate?"
"Come on, that piece is full of monsters, it would be strange if you can't shoot..." Daren replied absent-mindedly.
There was a faint feeling of anxiety in his heart.
[Eid said that I should try my best to preserve my strength…]
This is very abnormal, because according to previous experience, the first few waves of bows and arrows will destroy a large number of monsters, which is the first stage! And if the monsters surge to the wall, they will enter the second stage - adults using melee equipment will constantly stab and kill monsters through the wall and the solid fence... Usually these two stages are enough to repel a monster attack, and there will be no losses.
If the wall is broken, it will enter the third stage of tragic - members of the Self-Defense Corps must use their bodies to block the gap and start a real close-killing battle. At this time, a large number of casualties will begin to appear!
If even the human wall composed of adults is broken, the battle will enter the most dangerous fourth stage - melee, which is the time for our group of members of the preparatory team to take action!
Enid saved himself physically, does it mean that this monster attack is not that simple, and it may even go to the fourth stage, even those of himself and his reserve members have to play?
But these are just speculations, and Deren dared not say anything. Uncle Antonio said that it is the most taboo to shake the morale of the army during battle.
Come whatever you are afraid of.
A distant and irritating roar came from the depths of the dark valley forest in the distance.
Hearing the roar, the faces of the three adventurers changed.
—————
Time goes back one minute ago.
"Today's monsters seem to be too dense..." Eddie, the intermediate archer with the sharpest eyes, squinted and glanced at the groups of lost monsters, frowned slightly.
His eyes shifted left and right, and looked at Orwell and William on both sides of the left and right. The former was carrying a giant axe carelessly and scanning the group of lost monsters outside the city wall with disdain. This boring low-level battle obviously could not arouse his interest, and there was no intention of taking action at all. The latter closed his eyes slightly... it seemed that he had begun to take a nap?
"No, it's better to be safe." Eddie murmured to himself, then his eyes flashed slightly at Orwell, and his mental power fluctuated.
"Hiss..." Orwell felt a slight tingling pain like a needle on his side. He turned his head and stared at Eddie in anger, and asked in a lip service: "What are you doing!"
Blonde Eddie leaned her head, signaled outside the wall, and also replied with a lip shape: "Up."
"Why don't you..." Orwell raised his eyebrows and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard the distant roar deep in the forest, and his face changed immediately!
"Huh?" The old pastor William seemed to wake up from his dream and looked around in panic.
Eddie reacted the fastest. At some point, he had already tapped a long feathered arrow on the long bow of the full moon. His sharp eyes as fast as a falcon have locked in the direction of the dark valley!
"Click...Click..."
A green figure two meters tall swayed out of the woods.
It looked like a huge version of a goblin, and it looked like a hideous monster ape with green skin... It lowered its head and curled up, wandering around the edge of the shadow of the woods, occasionally peeking at the direction of the Dor village, showing a neurotic smile at the corner of its mouth, then lowered its head and whispered, and its saliva dripped on the ground.
After the huge figure appeared, all the heartless goblins seemed to have been given stimulants at this moment, making a vague shout, and their little body ran towards the village even more desperately.
"It's the mutated goblin king. Be careful, hurry up and do it!" Eddie exclaimed, and his right hand relaxed directly.
Chapter completed!
