Chapter 111 - The Zhuqui Forest - Part 2

The monkey now had no other way other than answering Rex's question because it seemed as if jo matter where he ran, Rex would ultimately reach that place.

"...", but the lonely seemed a bit hesitant.

This basically due to the fact that the beats and humans probably never contacted with each other. They susallu stayed out of each other's ways.

But recently many humans started to hunt many beasts due to which some beasts utterly hated humans while some feared them.

They wanted to literally stay away from the humans and never face them as they knew that nothing good would come by facing humans since they were majority in and were too cunning.

That was the same for the monkey too who wanted to stay out of Rex's way.

Also, if he were to tell Rex about it then he feared that Rex might blame him for lying and thus he might end up killing him.

"Come on! Tell me!", Rex asked again.

The monkey finding himself cornered ultimately decided to tell him about the thing due to which he ran away.

"It's because of...", the monkey was still a bit hesitant.

"Because of?", Rex asked.

"Because Of... that DEMON!!!", the monkey shouted.

Rex could observe the trembling of the monkey the moment he said that.

It seemed as if the monkey wasn't lying but Rex failed to understand it in the first place.

He couldn't understand as to how the demon was related to what he said.

"I didn't get you... when did I even mention the demon's name!", Rex asked out of confusion.

"No, I'm not saying that you mentioned the name of the demon... it's just that...", the monkey was trying to say something else but it seemed like Rex was slowly unable to converse with them.

The red light that was glowing from his body was already dim in the start but as each and every second passed, it kept getting even more dimmer and now ultimately it was going to stop.

"Ya what?", Rex asked.

"The demon... djsiebevs .... Forest... Akashji.... Demon... aowheb...", the monkey said about it.

Rex could hardly understand anything because most of the words had turned weird and after that too the monkey told something but it seemed as if the light had completely fainted due to which he wasn't able to converse anymore.

But he certainly understood one thing that the so called forest and the demon were somehow related.

The only weird thing that Rex had mentioned earlier was about the voice which echoed in his head which was a peculiar one and was quite different from previous, and about the forest.

And it seemed like the monkey was afraid of the forest. It also mentioned a demon's name so with this Rex finally concluded that there might have been a demon habituating in the forest of Zhuqui.

But the demon clan were not someone who would hide just like that. So it was indeed a bit obvious that instead of a demon, it could have been something else which just resembled a demon.

Rex kept thinking about it and ultimately decided to go there.

However he wasn't aware of the location of the forest so he had to somehow manage to learn about it.

He thought that it would be best to ask the beasts since they would know about the entire locations and thus he looked towards the monkey but then he understood that he couldn't ask from them as he had lost the ability to converse with them.

"Sigh... what do I do now...?", he thought hard and suddenly he got an idea which was actually quite simple.

'Why don't I get a map? They would definitely have the name of the forest in that...', was what he thought immediately after which he vanished from the place.

He also had another option in hand if by chance the map option didn't work. He could ask Bandis or Zor about the place since them might be knowing as they had been living in this continent for quite sometime.

MEANWHILE...

All the women were quite close to the place where their people had been kidnapped.

They were a bit hesitant to move any further due to the fear of getting killed at any moment but the shout of the Madam was driving their fears away.

Right now they were hiding behind the bush and peeking at the cave near which a cage was kept in which a few women were still left.

It seemed as if all of them were unconscious since they might have not been provided with food and water the whole day and might have been under the sun the entire time.

Alia too areived at the place while following them. She had earlier thought about Misguiding them and stalling for time but it seemed as if she failed because they had alreasybcome quite far.

Basically they were just outside the place where all these people were getting kidnapped.

The Madam could feel the pressure which was quite different here. On top of that she could even feel the sense of fear from all those people who were behind her.

She just turned back in order to tell them something when she found Alia standing there.

"Alia! Why did you come here?", she asked.

Alia lowered her head and said, "I was worried about you all so..."

She was quite furious because Alia was too young right now and it was a bad idea for her to come here.

All the women who had come right now were at least 20 years. The remaining were even more older and ultimately the so called Madam was 27.

Despite being females, they had well built bodies and extraordinary muscles in proper proportions.

"Madam, do we invade and attack that place or...", was what the one who was leading the rebellion group earlier asked.

She only thought about attacking and achieving victory which was indeed an essential thought for a warrior but it was not the best thought that a leader should have thought.

"No! First of all we need to save them...", was what she said.

It was indeed appropriate because saving their kin was their priority and that was what they wanted. Winning the war or attacking was the later part since that was also for protecting their loved ones.

"Alright Madam... then we should go one by one and save them...", was what she told to the Madam.

"Yes Soria, that's a good idea...", was what the Madam told immediately after which one by one they went and hid near the cage.

Then they slowly tried to cut the wooden cage and were planning to break it and save them.

The Madam who was leading them was initiating the tasks and was slowly able to cut it when all of a sudden she felt something painful.

"Huh...!?", she turned her gazes a bit back only to find a blade pierced in near her waist area.

"This...", she was completely surprised and was wondering as to how this happened when she saw Soria licking the blood that had splashed on her hand.

Others too saw it that it was Soria who stabbed the Madam from behind.

"You!!!", all of a sudden the Madam got angry and swung her sword but even before it could touch her, she had Bana usher from the location and appeared exactly at the entrance of the cave.

"Haha... haha... hahahahaha!", she started laughing in a weird manner.

Everyone was completely shocked by the laughter while the Madam was confused by what had happened.

She couldn't even believe that she was stabbed right now. She did head the sound and felt the pain, but it was still unbelievable for her to believe that her dearest friend stabbed her.

"Hehe, Master! I am back!", she laughed and said that in front of the cave.

"Master...?", they failed to understand what she meant when suddenly they heard a deep and scary voice from inside.

"Ah... you returned?", the voice asked.

Soria bowed and said, "Yes master, the plan was a success..."

It seemed as if Soria was from the side of the demon from the starting itself.

"Soria... you...", the Madam was suffering from a huge pain that was even greater than the pain that was inflicted by the stab.

It was an internal pain that was being felt from the heart.

"Haha! What? You shocked? Hahaha!", she kept laughing.

The Madam tried to bring her back to this side.

"Soria... it's a demon... there is a demon over there... come back...", was what she said but it seemed like Soria was determined not to do so.

She had no choice but tibgrit her teeth and accept that she had lost Soria for good.

Other than this another thing was going in her mind and that was about the so called plan which she was talking about with the demon.

"And the plan...", she was going to ask when suddenly Soria started laughing.

"Hahaha, hahaha! You all are fools! Hahaha!"

They couldn't understand as to why she was laughing but it seemed that due to her arrogance and overconfidence she herself said what the plan was.

"Master purposefully allowed Alia to run so that she could ask you all to come here... hahaha", was what Soria said.

"Huh...?", all of them were shocked the moment they heard this.

"You mean...", they were unable to even think of anything else and just stared at Alia who herself was too shocked to even think anything straight.

"Haha, now that you all are here, there is no one who is protecting your small village! Our army will attack soon and kill all of them... then master will drink their bloods and regain his powers!", was what Soria said.

"..."
