Under the heavy blow of the mace, the two large insect-like monsters were killed instantly, splattering a large amount of green blood.
This is on the trail to the west of the Forbidden Forest. It is already the third day since leaving Iserlohn. Lu Xidong and his party have been moving along the Aimedo River towards the depths of the dense forest downstream. According to the markings on the map, now Not far from Black Tree Gigas Cedar.
The deeper you go, the higher the intensity of the monsters. If you are not careful, you will be targeted by them. Fortunately, Tier and the others have lived nearby before, and they are quite experienced in dealing with these low-IQ guys.
Lu Xidong turned around and used his sword to deflect the sharp jaw attack approaching from behind. Silva used his short knife to strike at the soft part of the giant insect's carapace, killing the disgusting insect that made such a harsh cry.
The next moment, Rolf held a knife against the other one, and Lu Xidong chopped off the head of Wei Ying.
The four carapace monsters that came out to look for food were all reduced to limbs and arms. The thick green blood emitted a pungent smell and sprayed everywhere.
He was supposed to take a rest after the battle, but Lu Xidong felt a spasm in his stomach and resisted the urge to vomit. After the special exploration team moved forward for a certain distance, they sat down by the river to rest.
"Mr. Rolf," Lu Xidong discovered that the dwarf Rolf, who had traveled around, had rich experience and broad knowledge, so he often took advantage of his breaks to ask the other party about his doubts, "There is something I want to ask you something, where did the devil come from?"
"Sir, please don't be formal." Rolf heard Lu Xidong's greeting and bowed to answer: "No one knows where a pure demon like you comes from. It is just a legend that demons are all magic elements. The natural leader of the demon clan who suddenly appeared in this world."
The first-born twin horns and dark red pupils are the unique characteristics of pure high-level demons. They have the ability to reproduce, but they rarely use it. After all, high-level demons have powerful magic and a body that does not age, so there is no need to reproduce. Bar.
Including low-level monsters and high-level demons, they are collectively called demons by humans. The current gathering place of demons is in the west outside the Forbidden Forest. There are dangerous mountains there, which is the territory ruled by demon kings.
Yes, there is not just one demon king in this world, but there seem to be many. As long as you reach a certain level of danger and have enough demons loyal to you, you can get the title of demon king.
In fact, Rolf had never been to the kingdom of demons. These were all hearsays. However, after listening to the other party's endless explanation, Lu Xidong still felt very interested, especially the fact that demons "came out of thin air". Make him care.
Does this mean that the pure demons in this world are reincarnations from another world? Although I don't know if it comes from the earth, but maybe I can meet those guys and see, maybe I can collect more information.
If there is a chance, he must go to the Western Demon Kingdom to have a look, Lu Xidong secretly made a decision.
"… … ah… ?"
The one who made the sharp scream was Silva who stretched his body on guard. He pointed at a point in the woods and squeezed out a wailing sound from his throat.
"Master... Master, look!"
Lu Xidong and the other two people immediately looked towards the left front pointed by Silva.
At this time, dazzling flashes of light suddenly exploded in the sky in front of everyone. After a while, intense bass began to reach everyone's ears. These effects undoubtedly came from large-scale attack magic.
"Go and have a look." Lu Xidong called to his subordinates and cautiously leaned over there.
The thick trees provided a good hiding place. After getting closer, Lu Xidong discovered that the one who was attacked was the lizard messenger he had seen before. Of the team of more than ten people, only five or six people were still struggling to hold on. .
On the other side, there is a large-scale joint force of more than thirty people. Judging from the various costumes and weapon combinations, it should be one of the elite teams sent by the human adventurers after they gathered together. It is very likely that they are in charge of this place. vigilance work.
Did the lizardmen break into the position by mistake or take the initiative to provoke? Thinking of the arrogant behavior of the previous envoy, Lu Xidong felt that the latter possibility was more likely.
Although the lizardmen were brave, the adventurers' team had a good mix of professions, a superior number, and the sharp attacks of the magicians. It seemed that this group of lizardmen could not hold on any longer.
The fireball hit the tree, leaving a charred mark. In the still-burning firelight, the lizard man's figure looked a bit desolate and sad.
Lu Xidong didn't have a good impression of the arrogant and rude lizard people. Now that they were in such a bad situation, they were somewhat to blame themselves, so he waved to his subordinates and wanted to retreat quietly.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that a fireball bombarded the tree where Silva was hiding. The dazzling light was accompanied by a low roar. The goblin jumped out in fright, and was looked at by the human adventurer. There was something in the firelight. Huge shimmering shadows danced.
"There is an ambush!" There was a commotion among the joint forces. They adjusted their attack directions and formed a solid ring formation. Apparently the sudden appearance of the Goblins disrupted the opponent's tactical arrangement. They were still guessing how many people were ambushed in the woods.
At this moment, Lu Xidong quickly stepped forward, resisted the urge to strangle the opponent, picked up Silva and ran away, followed by Tier and Rolf.
The monsters that appeared one after another stunned the joint forces. Goblin? Devil? Ogre? Why are there still dwarves? How many ambush did the other side set
While the other party was still confused, Lu Xidong and his group had already ran a few hundred meters away. Now it has become a method of Tier leading the way and the others following. After all, the ogres are the aborigines here and are familiar with the terrain. The paths are all familiar.
I don't know if they were still worried about an ambush or were afraid of breaking their formation, but the team of human adventurers did not catch up. Lu Xidong ran and looked back to make sure that there were no pursuers, and then he collapsed on the ground panting.
Damn, it was such an unlucky year. Sitting by the river for a while could get you into trouble. The more Lu Xidong thought about it, the angrier he became and kicked Silva hard. It was all this idiot's fault.
Fortunately, he acted according to the situation and allowed everyone to evacuate safely. One, two, three, four, four people were just right. Lu Xidong counted the number of people in front of him with his hands and let out a long sigh of relief.
… …
No, didn’t he only bring three subordinates
Lu Xidong counted them again. There were three guys in front of him who were bending over and lowering their heads, supporting their knees with their hands, trying to relieve the fatigue. Silva was lying on the ground, rubbing his swollen buttocks aggrievedly.
"You, you, you! Who asked you to follow us?" Lu Xidong finally noticed something strange and pointed at one of the guys with a long tail and asked.
"I, I, I... are running for our lives. When I saw you escaping happily, I naturally followed you." The lizardman messenger didn't look ashamed at all. He was indeed a thick-skinned race.
"Then it's safe now. You can leave quickly." Lu Xidong waved his hand and gave the eviction order. He didn't want to bring such an arrogant and arrogant guy who knew he would cause trouble.
"No, our tribe also knows how to repay kindness. You saved me, and I want to repay you." The lizardman messenger waggled his big tail like a dog, and after saying something decent for the first time, "My father is King of the tribe, tell me, I am as humble as you, what kind of reward do you want?"
He immediately returned to his true nature. He was indeed a prince. Do you want to make a big blackmail
Lu Xidong was still considering whether the other party was worth using, when he heard the other party say: "As for this guy, I can forgive him for his rudeness." As he said this, he pointed at Silva, which obviously meant to "forgive" Gob. Warrior Lin once defeated him.
Ugh, Lu Xidong secretly spat in his heart, Silva obviously defeated you with his own ability, but you actually said you forgive the winner? I hate this kind of loser who can't accept failure and always wants to look for face.
"I saved you, and the reward I want is for you to swear allegiance to me. Otherwise, you will be a liar without faith, and I will spread your reputation throughout the Forbidden Forest."
In fact, Lu Xidong didn't really want to keep this annoying lizard man, he just wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate him. After all, he was a noble lizard prince. He guessed that the other party would not agree to become his subordinate.
However, very unexpectedly, the lizard man's answer turned out to be:
"All right."
