Chương 124: Chapter 124

No matter how long Maxi waited, the forest around her remained deathly still. She gnawed her lip as her eyes roamed the trees. Rem snorted impatiently and began to back up as though she were nervous as well.

Just how far am I?

A rustle sounded behind her. Startled, Maxi whirled around to see something dart into the bushes. Goosebumps prickled over her.

Clenching the reins while breaking into a cold sweat, Maxi pressed her heel into the horse's side. As if on cue, the monster hiding in bushes flew at her like an arrow.

Just as she had expected, it was a goblin.

Maxi spurred Rem with everything she had. The monster charged at them with a club as Rem galloped over the twisted roots on the forest floor. The goblin was not so nimble, and its foot caught on one of the roots, sending it tumbling down the mountain.
