Amidst the dark stary night, Kyle was sleeping while leaning against the huge rock.
Bia was also sitting on top of a rock while looking at their surrounding with vigilance.
Suddenly, the small squirrel who was sitting opposite them squeaked. Bia looked at the squirrel with raised brows as it slowly started walking toward Kyle.
She was ready to kill the squirrel if it did something strange but to her surprise, it just walked toward Kyle and curled up beside him.
Soon, under her gaze the squirrel fell asleep. Bia sighed and looked away.
Next day early morning, Kyle was sleeping peacefully. Bia also seemed to have closed her eyes after staying awake the whole night.
While the duo had their eyes closed, the small squirrel lying beside Kyle opened its eyes.
It looked at Kyle with drool dripping down from his small mouth and slowly started creeping toward his hand.
The squirrel opened his mouth widely, showing rows razor-sharp teeth. It was about to bite Kyle whole hand in one go before Kyle woke up abruptly.
Seeing Kyle awake the squirrel retracted his teeth and hurriedly closed his eyes.
Meanwhile Kyle rubbed his eyes and looked in front of him, Bia was sitting on top of a stone with closed eyes.
He could sense she wasn’t sleeping.
“What was that? I suddenly felt chills for some reason.”
Kyle stood up and looked at his surrounding, except for Bia and the small squirrel he saw last night there was no one else.
“Strange? I definitely felt like something was wrong. Was it my imagination?”
After shaking his head, he picked up Bia and placed her on top of his head.
“It’s better if we leave this place.”
While he was ready to walk away, Kyle heard a small squeak from behind. He turn around and looked at the squirrel who was looking at him with big eyes, tear welled up inside the squirrel’s eyes when it saw Kyle leaving.
Like an abandoned child looking at its mother.
Seeing the squirrel, Kyle become speechless.
He sighed and walked toward the squirrel and picked it up.
“Why are you so heavy.”
Kyle exclaimed with surprise he was going to place the squirrel on his shoulder but unlike Bia, the fist-size squirrel was too heavy.
He placed the squirrel back down and asked it to follow behind because it was too heavy to carry.
The squirrel nodded with a relieved expression seemingly understanding Kyle words.
Kyle become a little surprised seeing it understanding his words but then he looked at the map one last time and started walking toward the only golden cross mark present on the mountain.
The squirrel also started following behind Kyle quietly, from time to time it would try to open its mouth but due to some reason, Kyle was on high alert.
That’s why the squirrel could do nothing but show an irritated expression while quietly waiting for a chance when it would be able to eat up Kyle.
After walking around the mountain for a few hours, Kyle finally arrived in front of a small opening present between some rocks.
In these few hours he encounter 7 (-E)-Rank, 3 (E)-Rank and 1 (+E)-Rank monsters but with the help of baits like Bia and ‘Squeak’ he was able to easily deal with those monsters.
‘Squeak’ was the name Kyle gave to the squirrel because it could only speak one word and that was ‘squeak’.
On the other hand, Bia was once again speechless at Kyle naming sense.
She looked at ‘Squeak’ pitifully, remembering the first time she came out from the egg and Kyle tried to give her some strange names like ‘birdy’ and ‘reddy’.
Bia hurriedly shook her small head with an ugly expression not even daring to remember those names.
Squeak looked at Bia, not understanding the meaning behind her emotional gaze. It just cutely squeaked toward its prey, Kyle.
While Bia and Squeak were looking at each other emotionally for some reason, Kyle entered the small opening.
It was dark from the inside, filled with various brown color stones but fortunately the stones were not pointy.
Kyle walked for a while before the opening started turning narrow, making it difficult for him to advance.
After a few more minutes, Kyle had to crawl just to find the end of the opening.
While he was crawling, suddenly squeak jumped on his back. Kyle almost spit out blood due to Squeak heavy weight.
“Squeak, don’t jump on my back so suddenly.”
It was the first time Squeak did something wrong that’s why Kyle just politely told Squeak to not do it again.
On the other hand, seeing Kyle painful expression Bia started laughing.
Squeak looked at Bia and Kyle both of them were not focusing on it.
With a creepy smile Squeak started advancing toward Kyle left ear.
Kyle could feel squeak crawling on his back but because he was busy quarreling with Bia inside his mind, he stopped focusing on its movements.
After Squeak reached Kyle ear, it opened its mouth with delight.
A row of razor-sharp teeth were going to bite Kyle ear completely before he suddenly spoke up, making squeak jump back in fright.
“I can see ligh…Ugh”
“Squeak, I told you not to jump on me so suddenly.”
With a serious expression this time Kyle shouted toward squeak, making it tremble.
Kyle looked at Squeak and sighed before hurriedly crawling toward the light he saw a while ago. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cm
After he came out from the small opening, a huge open field filled with multicolor herbs and grass entered Kyle sight.
Also, seeing himself so dirty filled with dust he felt a little strange because he didn’t like being dirty.
Bia and Squeak also came out behind him. Squeak practically started drooling smelling the rich fragments of the herbs.
It was just about to jump inside the herb valley when Kyle grabbed it from its neck.
“Squeak”
Kyle sighed seeing the two round pleading eyes staring directly at him.
“Can’t you see the green snail-like monsters rolling around the grass? It’s dangerous.”
He placed Squeak beside him before asking Bia to check how many monsters were present inside the open area.
Bia nodded and after flying around the whole grass-filled area, she return with a solemn expression.
-’22 (-E)-Rank green snail monsters and 11 (E)-Rank green centipedes. The snail monsters are scattered around on the grass while the green centipedes are standing guard in front of some strange-looking caves at the end of the grass field.’
After Bia finished her explanation, Kyle thought for a while. It was easy for him to defeat 5 (E)-Rank monsters at a time, but he would be in a difficult position if all those monsters attacked together.
That’s why he asked both Bia and Squeak to become baits as usual and try to attract the monster’s toward him one by one.
Of course, both Bia and Squeak didn’t agree immediately. In the end, Kyle coax them with some rewards.
