Chapter 1022 Troll An hour ago.
These six people were sitting on the ground, looking at the green-colored monster—three times their size—in horror.
They were trembling in fear, and their brain felt like it was frozen.
The green monster released his killing intent and glared at them while munching what looked like a human's hand.
"Well, well, what do we have here? It turns out there are more rats sneaking around." The green monster harrumphed and ripped the hand apart with his sharp teeth.
"Hiii… I don't want to die." The female magician clutched her head. Her body kept shaking.
"You don't want to die? Fine, I will give you a chance to live." The green monster smirked and slammed the ground with his wooden club, cracking it to show his strength.
When she heard those words, she stopped and raised her head in shock.
"You only need to do one thing. I have three hunting grounds. Whenever you find someone in my hunting ground, you're going to drag them to one of my traps. As long as you kill twenty of your people, I will let you go." The monster smirked evilly.
"What?"
"You want us to kill our own comrades?"
The green monster sat down in front of them while grabbing a human body.
"What? You don't want to?" He raised his voice before biting the human's body, ripping it in half. He was munching the body as loud as possible, and his saliva continuously spurted out of his mouth, telling these six that this would be their fate if they refused.
The magician was the first to crawl and agree. "I will do it. Let me do it. I don't want to die."
"Good. That's one…" The monster smirked before glancing to the side.
The others also followed his line of sight, receiving the murderous gazes coming from the monsters around him. If there was no monster like this, they would be daring enough to fight against these trolls.
Two of them panicked and finally gave in.
"I will do it too."
"Let me go."
However, the leader of this group was courageous. Even though he would die, there was no way he could betray the Star Group. No, he could betray the Star Group, but it was impossible to betray his own kin to help the monsters from this side.
He stood while glaring at the monster, "I won't do it. Kill me."
The green monster smirked and grabbed the female magician, putting her in front of his mouth. "Then, I will just eat her."
"No!" The magician screamed as loud as possible, refusing to die like this.
"Just to let you know that if one of you refuses, all of you will be my snack." The monster smiled evilly while wiping the drool on his face, showing how tasty they were in his perspective.
"What?" The leader widened his eyes, shocked by the statement.
He turned around and saw the other two kneeling and holding his legs.
"No."
"Please just help him. We don't want to die."
"You guys…" The leader looked at them in horror before glancing at the remaining two who had yet to give their answers. But their pale faces had already given enough clues for him. "You…"
Even though he didn't want to do it, the troll would kill them the moment he refused. He never thought that his friends would give up on everything to save themselves.
His heart fell into despair as he was forced to decide whether he wanted to help them to stay alive or die together.
His expression darkened. He clenched his fists and shouted, "Fine. I will do it."
The green monster was smiling this whole time before he extended his hand like a gentleman, pointing at the exit. "There you go. You can leave through that tunnel. The monsters will be chasing you, so you all just need to find a way to kill them."
He even put down the magician gently so as to show his sincerity.
The magician was the first to run away, ignoring everything else.
"Oh? Someone is already running? If you don't follow her soon, I will kill all of you." The monster stated again, reminding them that they needed to start moving.
The other five couldn't help but follow her, knowing this was the group decision.
As soon as they exited, the green monster fell to his butt while laughing uncontrollably. He even rolled around on the ground while saying, "Ah, I love humans. Hahahaha!"
"They're foolish creatures that can easily betray their own people in the face of death. I love the looks on their faces when they fall into despair."
"More importantly, they're the one that will help me kill those who want to kill me."
"Hahahahaha!" The monster kept laughing for a few minutes before ending it with a statement. "No one can stop me. No matter how hard they're trying to kill me, they will only fall into my traps."
Meanwhile, those six people were running away from the cave with the monsters chasing after them.
They had been running for a while, eliminating another group in the process. They couldn't say anything because they were desperate to survive.
When they thought it was possible to work together to handle the monsters, the sinkhole appeared and engulfed all the other group's members, scaring them.
These six turned into a robot manipulated by the monsters in the end.
And Theo was their current target.
Of course, the horror on their faces when Theo ran away and managed to escape the sinkhole was enough to let him know there was a hidden scheme in this place.
Theo gritted his teeth while looking at these six people. "Who are you? Who wants to kill me?"
Obviously, Theo didn't know that this was the work of monsters. He thought this scheme was planted by someone that wanted to kill him.
But the moment the monsters were about to reach him, Theo turned around and ran again as though he suddenly cowered against these monsters.
And these six people became even more desperate because if they failed to kill Theo, they might die after this.
