One of the voices whispered its advice. [Go and help the dryad! A damsel in distress! This is a typical scene from a romantic novel! Save her! Kiss her! Make some babies with her!]

I need to help this woman! Nameless realized. Those villains have encircled her, but she waits her hero who will save and kiss her! Even an image of their marriage and their little green children flickered in the man's mind.

He rushed out from the jungle, screaming. “Beautiful damsel, your hero has come!”

The hunters – as well as the dryad – were startled.

Nameless punched the nearest man in the face. It was a good and strong punch. The hunter was knocked down.

The man wanted to attack others, but the hunters were ready now. They pointed their spears at him.

Suddenly they all heard a soft female voice who whispered. [I will punish you]

The green woman dropped on her knees and lowered her head. “I – one of the dryads – greet you, a great and mighty spirit!”

Currently Nameless could experience a great power that has suppressed his will. It's so strong. A mere mortal can't resist it.

The man dropped on his knees as well and saw as liana caught all hunters to strip them naked. Then the great spirit forced those men to go into the jungle. It seems they will die there.

A little later the human saw as the hunters' spoils disappeared.

Finally Nameless felt that the great spirit had left them. A little later the human stood up and looked around. He didn't see hunters or anyone around but the dryad who still was on her knees.

She is saved, the man realized. I guess the time has come for our sweet kiss?

“Thank you, the great and might spirit! Later I will sacrifice you a young deer!” the green woman said and bowed. Then she also stood up and looked at the human.

Yes, it's a right moment! He approached her.

“Stranger, I'm grateful for your help. Besides, I see a power of our Great Creator...” the dryad's speech was stopped by a sudden kiss.

Nameless pressed his lips against hers.

She was stunned. Her heart even skipped a beat due to a great shock. The mere mortal kissed me!

Her knees gave in. How he dared?!

But Nameless began to explore her body. He was excited. That great, smart, and cool voice had given me an awesome advice!

Unexpectedly the dryad pushed him away.

“What are you doing, mortal?!” her voice sounded cold and a little angry now.

Nameless looked surprised. “Hey! Why did you push me?!”

“Why did you kiss me?!” she retorted.

“Because it was a right thing to do. But, listen, we waste our time here,” he began to take his pants off. “You know, we can marry later, but now we need to make some babies. Who do you like more boys or girls?”

“What?!” the dryad was shocked again. This mortal... Is he going to have sex with me?!

She realized that it was true when a stranger had taken his pants off and smiled gently, staring at her. Therefore, the dryad ran away.

“Hey! Where did you go?! Come back!” the man screamed, looking around. “You don't understand! We need to make some children!”

In the next moment Nameless realized what he was doing. Oh my God... What a shame...

He put his pants on quickly and looked around again. He hadn't seen anyone.

“If you hear me... I'm sorry. Those damn voices force me to do such things. I just can't resist their will,” Nameless turned around and came back to the road.

There he ran down again. Soon the man had reached a hill with a large tree and saw high walls. It shall be a city.

The human couldn't see the city clearly. It was a night now. I guess the gate is close.

Nameless saw a building that was not far from him. Lights were coming from its windows. It looks like an inn.

The man also noticed two camps which stood on the opposite sides of the road. The bigger camp had many bonfires with people around. The smaller one had a single bonfire with no men around.

Those voices began to whisper, as usual.

[Go to the gate! It's time to explore a big city! Get in!]

[Go to the inn! It's late outside! You need to have some rest!]

[Go to the bigger camp! I'm curious who those people are! You can pretend one of them.]

[Go to the smaller camp! Why don't you see people around the bonfire? It's interesting! But be accurate! Perhaps, it can be dangerous!]

[Sneak into any camp! Those people have many valuable things that you need to collect!]

[Rest under the tree! You need to have some sleep!]

[Climb up into the tree! You need to have some rest! Sweet dreams!]

Interlude

Niao observed the flask, which she had found in the jungle a little earlier. It was empty. “It's bad, meow!”

The cat-girl put the flask in her bag.

“We need to find those ones who had stolen the artifact, meow! Its content wasn't destroyed, meow! Go, meow!”

The magician left the road, as well as three pig-men.

~~~~~~

In a hour an old monk came to the same place where the cat-girl stood with her warriors.

Now a man wore a leather armor and carried a sword on his back. He inhaled. “I feel the servants of the evil god were here. You will not run away from me, mutants.”

The former captain of “Holy Sword” took a potion from his bag and drank it up. It gave him some strength. Now I'm ready to run in the jungle.
