Zash and Jason didn't expect Dean to be so vigilant. They felt that it was unnecessary. However, considering the one percent possibility that Daina was pretending to be stupid, they agreed with Dean's point of view.
They only had one life. They didn't want to take risks if it wasn't necessary.
In the next few days, Zash, Jason and Dean used various methods to test Daina. For example, two of them would go out to hunt while one of them would guard the place. The guard's attitude was relatively sloppy. He would either turn his back to Daina or be attracted by the sudden appearance of a small monster and inadvertently walk away.
Daina seemed to be really stupid. She just lay on the ground and giggled. There was no action.
Dean tried to deliberately dig a pit for Daina during training to test her reaction. But she still giggled.
After a few days of trying, the three of them were finally convinced that Daina was really crazy. Her acting skills were so profound that there were no flaws!
"This is palm leaf juice. It can cover up the smell of our body." Zash brought back some thick leaves when he went out to hunt. He could gently rub them into dark green juice. "We don't have time to react when we suddenly encounter her father. Although we have been constantly changing locations and covering up our scents these past few days, we will still leave behind some flaws. A senior once warned me that as long as we appear, we will definitely leave something behind. When we encounter someone with extremely strong perception, it will be a fatal flaw! "
"Palm leaf juice?" Jason was surprised as he saw the leaves in his hand: "There are palm leaves here?"
Dean didn't say anything as he saw that both of them seemed to know about this thing.
Zash and Jason rubbed the leaf juice all over their body. Then they smeared the rest on Daina's body. Naturally, they couldn't avoid physical contact during the process. Both of them had a tacit understanding with each other.
Daina giggled and didn't resist. Even when they touched the sensitive parts of her chest, she let out a soft groan. It was very tempting.
"Unfortunately, the lower half of her body is gone." Jason felt slightly regretful.
Zash smiled but didn't say anything.
Although they weren't tempted by beauty, but after all they were men.
Dean glanced at Zaxit. Zaxit was trying to stop Zaxit but now he seemed to be enjoying it. It was like a person who had done a very bad thing. He didn't feel any shame when he did some petty things.
After applying the palm juice, the three of them changed their location again. After half a month of exploration, the three of them discovered that as long as they stayed close to the War God Wall, they wouldn't encounter too powerful demonic beasts. If they went deeper, they would encounter more dominator rank demonic beasts and overlords. They might even encounter abyss beasts, as well as two or three abyssal clan beast packs.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
The three of them changed their positions many times, staying in each place for no more than a day. Along the way, they used all kinds of leaf juice, soil, and the hair of the monsters they peeled to change the smell. In addition, Jason also told Dean and Zashi about a secret recipe to eliminate the smell. It was to mix the blood of the monster with ashes. He also had a special bottle of ash powder that he brought with him. He mixed it with water and stirred it into a pulp. Then he smeared it all over the body to seal the pores and minimize the spread of the smell.
"Come, tell me, kiss daddy."
"Pa … Pa … Pa …" Daina giggled.
Jason who was training her smiled: "How to kiss?" He handed a bloodstained monster's leg to her.
Daina giggled and bit down hard, tearing off a large piece of flesh. She giggled and said, "Kiss, kiss daddy …"
"Good girl." Jason patted her head to show his appreciation.
Daina's face was as happy as a cat's, and she enjoyed his touch very much.
Jason pointed to a venomous python that had been hunted. "That's Dad."
"Daddy, daddy …?" Daina's reaction was a bit slow. She turned her head and saw the dead poisonous python on the ground. A silly smile slowly appeared in her eyes. Her arms suddenly pushed off the ground and she quickly leaped over, hugging the poisonous python. She opened her mouth and fiercely bit it, tearing off a piece of flesh. Her voice was muffled as she giggled foolishly, "Dear father, father …"
"Good girl." Jason smiled even more contentedly and stroked her head.
Daina's face was filled with obedience as she leaned into his embrace.
Zash and Dean were sitting on the stone next to Jason. Zash looked at Dean as he saw the excellent results of Jason's training: "Will it really work? What if his father has a strong poison resistance?"
"Then we can only blame our bad luck." Dudian shook his head. His sneak attack was to hide the venom in Daina's two molars. When she bit, the venom would be injected into the body of the bitten target, just like a poison monster.
"Will your poison really work?" Zaxi Te was still unsure.
"It can directly poison the abyss so it should be a relatively poisonous venom. If we can find something more poisonous then it can be used as a substitute." Dudian said. The poison in his body was a mixture of the venom of the ice dragon and other monsters. There was also the poison of the poisonous dart frog. This poison had made the ruler of Silvia lose his ability to fight. Now the effect of the poison had soared. It wasn't difficult to poison the abyss but the magic marks had a high resistance to the poison. Even the abyss was immune to the poison so the effect would be greatly reduced.
But there was also an advantage. Usually people with strong resistance would have defensive type magic marks. It meant that their perception and attack ability were slightly inferior.
They had been changing positions for so many days but Daina's father hadn't caught up with them. It showed that her father's perception wasn't strong.
"If it was me with double magic marks then I would choose perception and attack or attack and defense. His father should be like this …" Dean secretly thought. His eyes flashed as he glanced at Zashi who was next to him. There was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Three days later.
The three of them were ready and officially set sail to return to the ironmaking plain.
After two days of travel, the three of them were getting closer and closer to the ironmaking plain. There were no clouds in the sky and the stars were shining brightly. The three of them gathered at the edge of the woods and ate the low-level monsters they had hunted. They sat on the branches and looked at the moon.
There was no entertainment in the long night. They were in a daze and daydreaming. It was the only way to pass the time.
"The moonlight is so beautiful. I don't know if we can fly up." Jason said whimsically as he found a topic.
Zaxi Te suddenly laughed. "How can we fly up? Just the thunderbirds in the clouds are enough to kill us."
"There are no thunderbirds outside the borders."
"But I heard that the higher we fly, the colder it gets. In the end we will be frozen into an ice sculpture."
"That's right. It's just like us." Jason sighed as he looked at the dark forest: "We humans are probably the only beings in the world who know how to look up and appreciate the starry sky."
Zash shrugged: "Of course. What do these low-level monsters know? I heard that we humans used to spread all over the world. We were the masters of all creatures!"
Jason nodded. There was yearning and regret in his eyes.
Dean listened to the chatter of the two. There was a bit of desire in his heart to talk under the moonlight. But he held back. After a long while, he slowly said: "Perhaps it is because we know how to look up and appreciate that we want to conquer and destroy."
Jason asked curiously: "Conquer? Are you saying that someone wants to conquer the starry sky? "
"Everything you see, you want to take it for yourself, unless it's garbage, isn't it?" Dean asked back.
"That's right." Jason nodded.
"Especially beautiful women." Zash chuckled.
Jason laughed heartily.
Dean got up: "I'm going to relieve myself. I'm going to look around to see if there are any monsters from the abyss."
"Should I accompany you?"
"No."
"Don't go too far. Be careful."
"Signal if there is danger."
Both of them exhorted.
Dean jumped down from the treetops and took Aisha out of the woods. They went to the mountain next to them and peed. After walking for more than ten miles, he handed the roasted monster's flesh to Aisha. He cut it with the Splitter Knife so that she could eat it slowly and gracefully.
After she finished eating, he used a soft handkerchief to wipe her lips.
As he was about to return, he saw a heat source approaching from the edge of his field of vision.
"Human?" Dean's pupils shrank as he saw the outline of the heat source. It was an upright human figure. Although there was still some difference from the human body, it was like an oval red shadow. But he had used the heat source to identify human beings countless times, so he had rich experience.
The hair all over his body stood on end. The first person he thought of was the "father" that Dana had mentioned!
Did he catch up?
Dean soon calmed down. He frowned as he felt that the person's reaction was a bit strange. It seemed that he wasn't Dana's father. If her father was tracking them, how could he walk slowly and swagger? He should have lurked in the dark or rushed at full speed.
But the heat source was walking very slowly. It seemed that it was just a normal stroll. Sometimes it stopped and seemed to be identifying the direction.
Dean's eyes flashed as he thought for a moment. Finally, he took Aisha and quietly touched the place. If it wasn't Dana's father, then who could it be? He was very curious. Was there someone else on this lonely land? Or a local resident?
Ten minutes later, he and Aisha quietly approached the place.
Dudian quietly peeked out from a crack in the boulder. He was shocked and widened his eyes. This person was Daina!!!
She had the same style of linen, the same color of light blonde hair, and the same face. The only difference was that her body was intact. It was the same as the first time Dean saw Dana!
Dean's heart twitched. Even though he had seen countless bloody scenes, he was lost for a moment. He felt that he had seen a ghost!
Wasn't Daina with Zaxit and Jason? Wasn't her waist cut off by him? Wasn't she crazy because of their torture?
"Who?!" 'Dana' who was standing in front of Dean suddenly turned back and looked directly at the place where Dean was hiding.
Dean's face was ugly. His breath had fluctuated for a moment and exposed him. He didn't expect that he would make such a low-level mistake after experiencing so many dangerous battles. His mind was not calm enough. Perhaps he felt guilty and ashamed of torturing Daina, so he had such a big reaction?
He didn't know why but he knew that he had to come out. There was no point in hiding.
When he came out from behind the boulder, Dean suddenly found that the 'Dana' in front of him was a little different from the 'Dana' he had met before. Their hairstyles were different. The previous' Dana 'had a ponytail and looked very innocent and lively. But this' Dana 'had loose hair that was scattered on her shoulders. She had the noble and elegant look of a princess. Her expression was more indifferent.
"Human?" 'Dana's' eyes flashed when she saw Dean. Then she noticed Aisha who was next to Dean. Her eyes were full of surprise.
"I'm just passing by. My name is Dean. Who are you?" Dean tentatively asked. He took the initiative to be friendly but his heart was a little nervous.
"My name is Dana." The girl said.
Dean's pupils contracted for a moment but soon returned to normal. His expression didn't change. He smiled as if he had heard the name for the first time: "It's a really good name."
The girl looked at him. There was a trace of inexplicable meaning in her eyes: "You seem to have heard of this name?"
"When I was a child, I had a friend with this name. It seems that there are a lot of people with this name." Dean chuckled.
The girl stared at him. She saw Dean's natural smile. Finally, she slowly retracted her sharp eyes and asked: "Why are you here? Listening to your language, are you from there? "She pointed to the War God's Wall.
Dean nodded. There was a trace of embarrassment on his face: "Not long ago there was a war. I was separated from the main force and ended up here. I guess I'm a deserter now. I don't dare to go back."
The girl asked: "Are you alone?"
Dudian immediately shook his head. His head shook like a rattle. He looked very honest and reserved. "There were eight people who were separated from me. They were resting on the other side. I came out to pee and patrol the surroundings. I didn't expect to meet you. Are you a resident here?" His eyes lit up and his face was full of excitement.
The girl shook her head: "I'm the same as you. I came from the other side of the wall. But I've lived here for a long time."
"A long time?" Dean was surprised: "Can you live here? Aren't there fire dragons hovering here? Haven't you seen them?"
"We have a way to avoid them." The girl shook her head slightly. She didn't want to talk more about this. She looked at Dean: "Your teammates are over there. Why don't you take me to see them? I've been here since I was a child. I haven't seen what the people outside are like!" She said with a curious look.
Dean couldn't help but think of Dana who he had met before. Her innocent smile and eyes showed that she wasn't on guard.
"They are rude. If you don't mind, please come with me." Dean said seriously. He moved sideways to make an invitation. He waited for the girl to slowly approach. Her light footsteps stepped on the grass. It was as if she was stepping on his heart.
When the girl came in front of him, Dean smiled and stepped forward to guide her.
The girl followed closely behind. She looked around and asked, "Did you and your teammates see a girl who looks like me? She's also called Daina. She's my younger sister."
Dean was surprised: "You have the same name as your sister?"
The girl nodded and asked: "Have you seen her?"
Dean shook his head: "No. If I had seen her, I would have invited her to come with us."
"That's true."
Dean curiously asked: "How can you have the same name as your sister? Did she get separated from you?"
"Yes. She went out to play half a month ago and never came back. My dad was worried to death. He has been looking for her everywhere. I also came out to look for her until now. It's late at night." The girl sighed. There was a bit of sadness between her eyebrows.
Dean looked at her appearance. He couldn't bear to see her like this. But he still showed a regretful and sympathetic expression: "She should be lost, or …" When the word 'yes' came out of his mouth, he suddenly waved the Splitter in his hand without warning.
With a clang, sparks flew everywhere.
The sound of the collision was particularly loud in the night.
Dean and Daina pulled away from each other. Both of them were shocked.
Dean didn't expect that Daina, who had been listening to him indifferently, would react the moment he attacked. She would block his attack. The girl also didn't expect that Dean's attack would be so fierce. Although she was prepared, she almost couldn't resist. At the moment, the weapon in her hand was broken. Her arm was cut and she was injured.
"You were prepared?" Dean's face turned gloomy. He hoped that the previous sound would alarm Jason and Zaxi. But the distance was too far so they wouldn't be able to hear it.
"Where is my sister?" The girl looked at Dean coldly.
"How do you know that I'm related to her?" Dean asked.
"Although your performance was flawless, but there is one thing you may not know. Your backpack has already exposed you!" The girl sneered.
"Backpack?" Dean was startled. Suddenly a light flashed in his mind: "Do you mean the thing inside?"
"Yes, the flesh of the Aragami!" The girl said in a cold voice: "My dad detected the reaction of the flesh of the Aragami not long after you came to the plain. But he was in the middle of the experiment and couldn't get out. So he asked my sister to come and take you back. I didn't expect her to fall into your hands!"
Dean was startled. They were exposed as soon as they arrived at the plain? Did Dana know about them?
How was it possible?
He couldn't accept it. He didn't want to believe it. But he felt that there was no reason for Dana to deceive him. He gradually calmed down and slowly recalled the situation when he first met Daina. Now that he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that there were many details in Daina's performance. There were many flaws and doubtful points that were definitely not limited to the few he had observed earlier.
For example, the surprise on Daina's face when she saw them was obviously more intentional. Now that they thought about it, it was even more obvious that she was acting.
In addition, Dana didn't show any fear. Anyone who stayed in the habitat of the monsters would know to be careful. But Dana directly approached them. She didn't use stealth or camouflage. Even when she saw them she didn't show any obvious fear. If it was an ordinary person who met a few of the same kind with unknown strength, it wouldn't just be a surprise.
But because of Dana's naivety, they mistakenly thought that she was too innocent. She didn't know that people were sinister. That's why she believed them so easily. However, the other party's purpose was to take them back to her father's place.
As for the purpose, it was likely to be the flesh of the Aragami in his backpack.
They thought that others were naive. Maybe they were also naive in Dana's eyes.
However, there was one thing he couldn't figure out. He asked, "Why didn't your father let both of you come together? With your strength, you should be able to directly capture us."
The girl coldly snorted. "It doesn't matter if I tell you. My sister and I have very different living habits. She only comes out during the day and stays at home at night. I only come out at night and don't go out during the day! Moreover, my father has already detected that the three of you are just lower abyss monsters. With my sister's strength, it would be easy to subdue the three of you! "
Dean's face slightly changed. The two of them alternated day and night? What was the reason? He didn't believe that it was just living habits. It was likely because of their magic marks or other reasons. Some monsters liked to hunt at night, while some liked to hunt during the day.
In addition, her words revealed a lot of information. First of all, her father could actually perceive that they were lower abyss monsters! It must be known that they all hid their heat source. But how far away was her father? At least out of their range of perception! It was incredible that her father could not only perceive them but also know their specific strength from such a far distance!
However, if her father's perception was outstanding, then why hadn't he caught up with them after so many days? Was he unable to get away? He felt that it should be impossible. After all, almost a month had passed.
Could it be that her father had detected their strength with the help of some instrument?
Dean noticed that she had said 'detected the reaction of the flesh and blood of the Aragami'. Although the meaning of 'detection' and 'perception' was similar, Dean felt that they were two different things.
In his opinion, perception only represented the ability of the body. Detection not only included the detection of instruments but also the detection of the body.
If it was an instrument, then it could explain why her father couldn't track them.
However, this also extended to another piece of information. That was, her father had very sophisticated equipment, and the technology content was extremely high!
As he was thinking about the pros and cons, he was suddenly shocked and his face turned ugly. He glanced in the direction where he came from and saw Jason and Zaxi, as well as … the "crazy" Daina.
In the previous repeated interrogation, Jason naturally asked her whether she approached them with a purpose or whether it was an accident. But Daina's answer was' no '! From beginning to end, her answer didn't change. So much so that the interrogators believed that she had completely confessed.
However, if it was an ordinary captive, there would always be some discrepancies in the answers. At the beginning, they wanted to hide things but gradually loosened their mouths.
But Daina didn't change. This was a very suspicious point. But somehow they mistakenly thought that she was too simple and didn't lie from the beginning. She was an innocent and kind-hearted girl.
Now it seemed that her confession couldn't be taken seriously. It was estimated that half of it was true and half of it was false.
Moreover, she shouldn't be crazy. If a person was stupid, how could they make the same answer and reaction as before?
The more Dean thought about it, the more scared he became. He suddenly felt that he had made a big mistake. The cause of this big mistake was that he underestimated Daina.
It wasn't only him, Jason and Zaxi were also deceived by Daina.
They had a preconceived idea that Daina might be an innocent girl. That was why they thought that the torture would make her crazy. But now it seemed that Daina approached them with the intention of bringing them back to her father. The reason why she didn't adopt a forceful and direct attack was very simple. If it was her, when she was confident that she could suppress the three of them, she would fearlessly choose to use a gentler method to lure them over. This way, it would save her energy.
If they had refused Daina then perhaps they would have faced her thunderous attack.
Moreover, if he hadn't taken the initiative to attack then perhaps Daina would have attacked first!
Just like now.
When he attacked, the girl was on guard and was able to parry in time. Moreover, she had seen through his identity. He suspected that she probably took into account that he defeated her sister. So she didn't attack from the front but had the same plan as him.
Otherwise, how could she be so defenseless when she came over?
Didn't her performance make him relax his vigilance?
There were countless cases of failure or death because of contempt. Dean also knew that he shouldn't despise anyone. Even a lion needs to use all its strength to catch a rabbit. But he still made this mistake and it was a fatal one.
No one could avoid committing a crime knowingly. Perhaps this was something that the most profound philosophy couldn't change.
Fortunately, he met the girl. Otherwise they would have taken Daina to attack her father. It was like sending sheep into a tiger's mouth!
He was glad in his heart. He was even grateful to the girl in front of him.
"Your sister's perception should be quite good, right?" Dean suddenly asked.
The girl indifferently said: "It seems that you have already experienced it?"
Dean slightly nodded and sighed in his heart. It was too dangerous! At the moment the last doubt in his heart had been answered. Perhaps she had heard that they had tested whether Daina was crazy or not. Perhaps she had also sensed that they had pretended to leave but hid in the dark to observe.
