Just in time, Kyson saw an open space clearing now far away.
"Chicky, let's go and rest for a while. We can also eat our lunch in the meantime."
"Cluck!"
Hearing that, Chicky just let out a sound, as if to say 'okay'.
Kyson led Chicky to the open space and sat down on a relatively clean big stone that he found.
After sitting down, Kyson said, "Chicky, go and take our supplies out."
As he said that, he opened the beast space and a vortex appeared in front of him.
Chicky didn't hesitate and jumped into the vortex.
A few seconds later, Chicky came back out while dragging a big bag using his beak.
Dropping it in front of Kyson, Chicky looked at him and clucked.
Kyson smiled and caressed him.
"Good job, Chicky. Just wait for a while and I'll prepare our food."
Kyson took the bag and took out two big lunchboxes. Opening it, both lunchboxes contain the same thing.
There is rice, meat, and vegetables. Kyson mixed it together and placed it in front of Chicky.
"Here's your food, Chicky."
After doing that, Kyson also started eating his own food.
You might be wondering why Kyson gave such food to Chicky.
The answer is simple.
This morning, when Kyson was thinking about breakfast, he also thought about Chicky.
Since he was alone anyway, Kyson decided to summon Chicky so that the two of them could eat together.
Originally, he just gave Chicky some feeds as per what he usually does in the past.
However, Chicky turned his head away from it, and pushed it away with his chicken feet.
Kyson understood right then that Chicky no longer wanted to eat chicken feed. And so, he jokingly offered his own food.
Surprisingly, Chicky really ate it!
And so, we're in our current situation.
…
Kyson and Chicky ate their food fast, and rested for a while before they continued moving.
For another hour, Kyson and Chicky continued hunting more goblins. Finally, they successfully killed 12 more goblins, bringing the total to 30.
At the same time, he also raised his level to level 3.
Looking at the thirty bloodied ears on his bag, Kyson said, "This should be enough for today. The mission only needs 10. After I hand this over, that's 3 missions completed."
The mission that Kyson took, goblin subjugation, is a repeatable mission.
This means that this mission will always be there and adventurers can take it multiple times.
As long as one fulfills the completion requirements, they can do the mission again and again.
After deciding to end the hunting, Kyson didn't want to stay here any longer. Turning around, he plans to start heading back to the city.
However, when he turned around, he saw something that made his body freeze.
A 3-meter tall figure, with green skin and prominent black lines covering its whole body like snakes was standing there with a ferocious look on its face.
Holding a greatsword as if it's just a knife, it stood there while exuding malevolent energy coming from the black lines on its body.
Its eyes were fixed on Kyson, looking at him menacingly.
Kyson knows what kind of creature this is. It's a Goblin General based on the image shared by the government.
However, something Kyson finds weird is the black lines on the body of this Goblin General.
Because the Goblin General on the government description doesn't have those!
Just as Kyson was filled with various thoughts in his head, the Goblin General opened his mouth and spoke in human language.
"You…"
A deep and grave voice came out of that figure's throat.
"You… killed… my people…"
"You… must pay… for your actions…!"
Hearing those words, Kyson swallowed his saliva.
The next second, the Goblin General made a move.
It raised its greatsword and swung it at Kyson.
Without hesitation, Kyson shouted at Chicky and ordered,
"Chicky, block it!"
"Cluck cluck!"
With his two feet, Chicky ran up and jumped directly to the incoming greatsword.
Ting!
Crack!
The moment the greatsword made contact with Chicky, the sound of metal hitting sounded, followed by an audible crack.
Boom!
Chicky, who was hit by the attack in mid-air, was slammed on the ground by the force from that slash.
"Chicky!"
Seeing this, the look on Kyson's face changed.
After he leveled up to level 3, his and Chicky's attributes have once again increased.
Thanks to his talent, Chicky's constitution is already astonishingly high at 13(130) points. And their combined constitution reached 139 points in total.
Those numbers made Chicky's defense soar to 1,390 points!
Added the effect of 'Absolute Defense', unless the attack can cause over 6,950 points of damage, it won't even make Chicky flinch!
But now, looking at the sight right in front of him, Chicky's defense was actually broken!
Kyson's eyes stayed at Chicky, who's lying on the ground, and saw that even though his defense was broken, he wasn't badly hurt.
'The Goblin General's damage should only be a bit higher than Chicky's defense.' Kyson immediately thought after seeing that.
Knowing this, he immediately saw hope.
Clearly, that hope is not about defeating the Goblin General.
Because with his pitiful strength, he knows that he wouldn't be able to cause any damage to that monster.
So, the only solution to this situation is to run.
With that thought in his mind, Kyson didn't hesitate. He opened his character panel, placed his 10 free attributes to agility, and immediately took action.
While the Goblin General was recovering his greatsword after the slash, Kyson yelled,
"Chicky, get up and run!"
The next second, he turned around and started running deeper into the forest. Chicky also hurriedly got up and ran after Kyson.
Since the Goblin General is blocking the path to the outside, this is the only direction they can run to.
Kyson and Chicky ran as fast as they could, not even daring to look back.
As they go deeper into the forest, the denser the trees become, resulting in the darker area because most of the sky was blocked by the branches and leaves.
After running for almost 10 minutes, only then did Kyson finally slow down.
"Chick…haaa… haaa… Chicky, stop. Haaa…"
Panting, Kyson stopped running and leaned back on a tree.
Looking at the direction they came from, Kyson breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the Goblin General didn't follow them.
