It's a very strange terrain. It's obviously a large plain, but you can see mountains covered with snow. The mountains reach straight into the sky. Looking from a distance, it feels unrealistic.
Buzz buzz~
The sound of flies can be heard more than ten meters away.
"It stinks, Master."
Reina covered her nose and grabbed her master's collar, trying to keep him away from the corpse in front of her.
"I know."
The Demon King ignored her protests and led her to the source of the stench, a corpse. Judging from the skeleton, it should be a sheep.
"It must have been more than ten days since he died. Tell me what you saw on this body."
"Huh? Let me see, um, the bones are all scattered and there is a hole in the skull."
Reina imitated Richard's tone, pretending to say it, while looking at the master's expression.
"So...according to the above conditions...well...it should be...dead!"
Snap!!
Reina's head immediately made a crisp sound, the Demon King's iron fist is never late.
"You have to at least know there are dangerous creatures here."
"But what if someone killed this person?"
Reina argued unconvincedly.
"Impossible. Human beings will not be so wasteful. This was obviously killed by a wild beast or monster. The fatal injury was on the head. The missing limbs were probably caused by more than one preying creature. There may have been a fight.
.If you encounter such a corpse during your journey, you must not take it lightly."
The Demon King emphasized repeatedly.
"Yes~Master."
Reina said feebly, but at this moment, several strange birds suddenly flew across the sky.
"Master, can we leave here? It stinks."
Reina said to the Demon King who was looking at the sky. The Demon King stared at those strange birds and said nothing.
They saw those strange birds circling in a circle above their heads, and then flew away into the distance.
"Something's wrong."
The devil suddenly said.
"Hey? What's wrong?"
"Anyway, get out of here first."
After saying that, the two of them quickened their pace, and Rena became nervous.
"What's wrong? Master."
"Pay attention to your surroundings and don't miss any details."
The Demon King said coldly, although it seemed that he was not walking fast, Reina found that if she was not running, she would not be able to catch up with the master's footsteps, and they had opened a distance, which made Reina full of uneasiness.
The strange bird in the sky spread its wings and moved slowly in the direction of the two of them. It didn't flap its wings until they reached the forest, then turned around and left.
"What's wrong? Master, what happened?"
Reina became nervous, and the two of them hid behind a tree trunk.
"Something is wrong. Have you noticed those two birds?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"They are not ordinary birds, they are monsters. Based on their size, they can probably snatch you away directly."
"Why!!"
Reina suddenly felt scared because the birds didn't look big. She didn't know that it was just because they were too far away from her.
"Then with the master here, I'm sure you won't be afraid of them."
Reina asked tentatively.
The Demon King tapped her head lightly and said, "Whether you are afraid or not is another question. The biggest problem now is that they showed hostility but did not attack. Don't you find it strange?"
Hearing this, Reina frowned and thought for a moment.
"It seems strange to say this. Aren't they hungry?"
The Demon King sighed softly and said: "Maybe it is possible, but you have not considered the worse things. You must always consider the worst things."
Rena suddenly felt scared.
"Huge monsters, especially carnivorous flying monsters, generally do not hunt together. They clearly seem to have division of labor and cooperation, indicating that they are not ordinary monsters, but orderly and organized."
The Demon King paused and frowned slightly.
"This also means that they are not wild monsters, but may be an army of monsters."
As soon as they finished speaking, several humanoid monsters wearing cast iron armor and holding weapons suddenly appeared where they were standing. The armor blocked most of their bodies, and their faces revealed a long nose and a tooth full of fangs.
Mouth, they rode a wolf as tall as a horse and kept sniffing around.
"Did you see that?"
A glass mirror suspended in the air allowed Reina to see this scene.
"I saw it! It's a monster wearing armor!"
Reina couldn't help but trembled and became frightened.
"They have smelled our scent, and I'm afraid they will find us soon."
"Then what should we do?"
"What would you do if you were alone?"
asked the devil.
Reina was in trouble and she frowned.
"I...I want to run..."
When a person is alone, he will feel uneasy, let alone encountering monsters in a strange place.
"Great answer."
The devil smiled and touched her head.
"In any situation, don't fight if you can. Unless the opponent is weaker than you and the benefits of defeating the opponent are worth your while, otherwise don't fight easily. Even if you can win, it will consume your magic power and cause you to be injured.
When your status declines, you don’t know if someone will be watching you secretly from behind, so don’t take action easily.”
"Oh~ should we escape then?"
"No, you still have to judge whether you can escape. Now those monsters are riding wolves and can run fast in the grasslands and forests. We can't outrun them."
"So we're still going to defeat them?"
Reina clenched her trembling fists and looked at the Demon King.
"Well, it's just that they came and were defeated by us, not that we went there and defeated them."
"Hey? What do you mean?"
Rena asked in confusion.
The Demon King took out a staff from his pocket, the same staff that he had given to Reina before but had not taken back.
"You have some time before they come over. During this time, you need to make good use of the environment and make the surroundings as beneficial to you as possible."
After saying that, the Demon King handed the staff to Rena, who looked confused.
"That means setting a trap."
"oh!!"
Reina suddenly realized.
…
"Gah!! Smash it!"
The group of monsters riding wolves came to the forest, and the giant wolves lowered their heads and sniffed the smell on the ground.
"Woo!!"
The leader of the wolf roared, and the monster sitting on it immediately turned around and screamed a few times, then rushed forward in one direction.
At this moment, the leader of the monster turned around, and suddenly a vine lay in front of it. It hit the vine, and the whole monster was stopped in place. The vine immediately wrapped around its neck, and then
It was quickly dragged up the tree.
"Ah! Ah!"
The monsters behind immediately stopped. They looked at their companions hanging on the tree, but they were out of reach of their spears and swords.
After being entangled, the monster struggled desperately, pulled out the machete from his waist, cut off the vines on its head, and immediately fell down, falling heavily to the ground.
The weight of the armor and its own weight made it fall hard. However, it was still not killed when it fell from a height of six to seven meters. The monster's physique seemed to be very strong, but when it stood up,
An unknown voice came from above.
When the monster raised its head, a stone appeared in front of its eyes.
