Monster Girl Contract Manual

Chapter 3 Are you alright?

Deep within the secluded and lush Misty Forest, ancient trees reach for the sky, their branches and leaves overlapping like a canopy, completely blocking out the sunlight streaming in from the heavens.

Under the cover of the trees, Captain Garp and Archer Jack went to investigate the vicinity of the goblin's lair.

House, Russell, and Zem remained where they were.

None of the three of them are suitable to conduct the investigation.

Inside the temporary rest area, the spellcaster, Ms. Russell, closed her eyes and held her staff horizontally in front of her, seemingly in meditation;

Zem, standing to the side, took the giant axe off his back and carefully examined the weapon.

Seeing this, House followed suit, drawing his longsword from his waist and holding it horizontally in front of him. He then took out a palm-sized vial from his bag and applied the paralyzing poison to the tip of his sword.

Although poisoning is usually unnecessary when dealing with goblins, House spent two silver coins to buy the potion, which was said to be able to paralyze giant bears, just to be on the safe side.

After making preparations, Captain Garp and Jack, who had gone to investigate, have now returned.

"There's only a campfire in front of the cave entrance, and at most twenty adult goblins. There are no goblin orcs, but a goblin archer is hiding in the treetops near the entrance, and there are also goblin sentries at the cave entrance..."

Garp recounted the intelligence he and Jack had gathered to the group, and then began discussing the ambush plan.

House listened intently, and his opinion of Karp grew even higher.

He has a good eye; this captain is really professional.

Ten silver coins were well spent.

......

After the intelligence and plan were explained, the group headed towards the goblin's lair.

It is worth noting that this time, Zem, who was originally at the back of the team, walked at the front with his shield, while Captain Karp lagged behind at the back of the team, walking side by side with House.

"Watch your step and try to avoid stepping on dead branches and making noise."

Karp whispered a reminder to House.

"Um."

House nodded slightly.

This team leader is really professional; he even thought of this.

After traveling for about ten minutes, the goblin's lair came into view.

This was the first time House had ever seen a goblin's lair.

It was called a nest, but it actually looked like an inconspicuous mound of earth. The entrance was half covered by weeds, and the soil next to it was littered with a lot of footprints and the skeletons of unknown creatures.

In front of the cave entrance, there was a pile of fire that had long since gone out.

The moment House saw the fire, he felt a wave of nausea.

Within the ashes, a charred head was clearly visible, half-exposed.

Goblins eat people.

All monsters eat people.

House took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure, but the faint, terrifying stench wafting through the air made it difficult for him to calm down.

The smell was more pungent and unpleasant than the stench of a garbage dump, and more disgusting than an unflushed toilet.

He had no choice but to lower his head and take a deep breath at the slime stuck to his inner chest armor.

The faint, pleasant scent of the slime washed away the stench in my nostrils.

House didn't bring the slime with him; it crawled out of the bag and chased after him after he left.

As a contracted monster, it will not leave without its master's command.

House did not specifically give it the order to "stay put".

After all, although it is a contracted monster, the slime's combat power is too low, and it has not moved for a long time, so its presence is weak.

The battles that followed might be dangerous, so House didn't focus his attention on the newly contracted monster girl slime for the time being.

In short, I just accidentally forgot about this guy.

It wasn't until the slime caught up that he suddenly remembered he had such a monster.

It's worth noting that no one noticed the slime catching up with them.

Even House himself only realized it after the "slime water" had "flowed" from the ground to his heels and then climbed up to his chest.

To be honest, it really startled House.

Fortunately, he had good self-control and didn't make too much noise.

Looking down at the little guy who had now attached to the inner armor and spread out as a layer of "slime inner armor," House suddenly realized that this newly contracted monster seemed to be more than just someone who could provide him with skills.

He seems to have found a new use for slimes.

"Jack".

Captain Garp suddenly spoke, and Jack immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow at the distant cave entrance.

call out--

With a whooshing sound, an arrow coated with green poison flew towards the cave and precisely pierced the center of the pair of eyes in the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, Russell, the spellcaster teammate beside him, raised his staff and chanted incantations that House couldn't understand, then fired a fireball at the goblin archer on the nearby treetop.

A fireball the size of a fist flew at an extremely high speed and successfully struck the goblin archer.

The goblin archer let out a strange cry and fell from the treetop to the ground, struggling continuously.

At that moment, Captain Garp rushed in front of it and delivered a fatal blow with his greatsword.

At the same time, Zem, who was beside House wielding a giant axe and shield, also moved quickly.

He raised his shield and charged towards the cave entrance, his two-and-a-half-meter-tall body completely blocking the entrance and preventing the goblins inside from rushing out.

The four worked together flawlessly.

As for House, he remained on standby as planned, ready to provide support at any time.

After all, he was just a newcomer and an outsider who was temporarily added to the team.

As long as you don't cause trouble, that's fine.

But the act of taking risks is inherently full of risks.

"call out--"

The familiar whooshing sound rang in his ears. House subconsciously turned his head to look at Jack, only to find Jack staring wide-eyed, clutching his chest in terror.

At this moment, an arrow was stuck in Jack's chest.

Spots of blood oozed from his chest.

"There's one more, House!"

Captain Karp shouted and pointed to the bushes to House's left front.

Through the gaps in the branches and leaves, House met a pair of eyes filled with malice.

Without hesitation, House rushed over immediately.

The role of the support position becomes apparent at this moment.

When Cap saw House charging straight into the bushes without making any defensive move, he felt a surge of anxiety.

Finished!

A newcomer is still a newcomer; they ultimately lack experience.

Just as Garp had expected, the sound of something cutting through the air rang out again the next moment.

An arrow shot out from the bushes and pierced House's chest in an instant.

"House!"

"receive!"

House responded in a deep voice, and at the same time swung his sword, severing the throat of the goblin archer hiding in the bushes.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head sharply to look at Garp, and at the same time, his left hand was not idle either, raising his hand to pull out the feathered arrow pinned to his chest.

"Where can I find any more?!"

Looking at House, whose face was full of tension and urgency, and whose eyes clearly questioned him, Karp's gaze fell on the arrow at his feet.

The arrowhead was not only free of blood, but also stained with a strange blue liquid.

Garp's throat bobbed, and a look of surprise involuntarily crossed his face.

"Are you... alright?"
