"There's such a creature in the subcontinent?" Salin asked casually when he saw Sue looking at the familiar.
"Demons are the enemy of most races. Master Mage, it's dangerous for you to keep it." Although the young boy didn't understand what Salin was talking to the demons, he could understand what they were doing.
The four demons surrounded the Tamed Monster and started healing it. The demons' healing skills were questionable, but the Tamed Monster did not dare to resist and just gritted its teeth. Among the four demons, only Trish had the ability to use spatial equipment. He took out a set of broken armor and let the familiar wear it.
"From now on, you are our slave." Trish patted the familiar's shoulder.
"Dangerous?" Salin smiled. He didn't even bother to sign a contract with the familiar's ability. The number of contracts a mage could sign was related to his spiritual power. Although Salin was rich in spiritual power, he wouldn't waste it on such a low-level creature.
Nelis was even more so. Since Trish and the others were still useful, Nelis cast the ultimate transformation spell on them. I'll just let this familiar remain in its ferocious form for a long time.
The four demons probably thought the familiar was weak, so no one argued with Trish. The other three demons pushed the blame to each other, and finally, the familiar was taken as a slave by Eva.
Demons were cunning and thoughtful. They were afraid that the familiar couldn't be controlled, so they signed a contract to prevent it from suddenly hurting Salin. Eva gave the familiar a random name — Grimace.
"Princess, that big guy is back!" A swordmaster shouted. Salin looked from the chariot and saw Syndicate, covered in blood, running all the way to the camp. On Syndicate's body, countless fish monsters were crazily gnawing on his flesh.
The fish monsters on Syndicate's body were basically the size of a fist, and their mouths were full of sharp teeth. Unlike ordinary creatures, which had two rows, half of the mouth area was full of teeth.
This abyssal creature was originally of the fire element, but after losing its skin, before it could recover, it encountered a large number of fish monsters hatching. The smell of blood on his body immediately made the fish monsters go crazy and attack him.
Syndicate's muscles kept squirming, but he couldn't stop the pervasive attack of the fish monsters. The fish monsters that were shaken to the ground quickly bounced up and pounced on him again.
"Let me do it." Salin saw that the mages were about to cast their spells and stopped them.
He had set up an illusory swamp along the Syndicate's path, but before the Syndicate reached the boundary of the swamp, dozens of icicles suddenly shot out of the ground. Unable to control his footsteps, Syndicate crashed into the ice pillar and fell into the illusory swamp.
The Illusory Swamp was a level-three spell, and it couldn't control a level-eight creature like Syndicate. Salin only wanted to slow him down, and then the Illusory Swamp started burning.
The fish monsters on Syndicate's body were most afraid of magical flames. They didn't even like ordinary natural flames. The illusory swamp wasn't large, but it still covered Syndicate's entire body. As the flames burned, all of the fish beasts fell from Syndicate's body, leaving only the fish beasts that had drilled into his body. They twisted their tails and desperately drilled into his body.
At that moment, the largest crossbow in the camp fired a single bolt. The four-meter-long bolt let out a strange whistling sound as it pierced through Syndicate's chest, more than half of it going in.
No matter how strong this abyssal creature was, it was at its last gasp from the torment of the mechanical undead and the fish beasts. The attack of the large crossbow finally made Syndicate lose his last breath. He fell heavily to the ground, kicking up hundreds of kilograms of black sand.
This crossbow was originally used to attack cities. Small city walls would usually collapse with one shot. The arrowhead was not only sharpened with crystals, but also with a magic array. Swordsmen couldn't operate this kind of crossbow alone, and needed the cooperation of a mage. The accuracy of this kind of crossbow was not as good as the small crossbow, but Syndicate had fallen into a trap. His body was too large, and even a poor archer wouldn't miss.
"Lowly …" Syndicate only managed to utter a single word before dying. The pitiful level-eight creature. If it hadn't lost most of its strength in the spatial passage, the mechanical undead wouldn't have been able to ambush it. The mechanical undead destroyed the third eye on Syndicate's forehead, completely making him lose his few remaining long-range attacks.
The people in the camp didn't dare to be careless. A battle puppet and a construct puppet were sent out. Syndicate's body was still burning with flames. Under the control of the two puppets, they observed closely. After confirming that there was no danger, Rex sent someone to dismember Syndicate's body.
Abyssal creatures might not have magic cores, but any part of a level-eight creature's body was precious. If it was in the Abyssal Plane, no one apart from Byrne would be able to stop that monster. Although Syndicate's body was covered in wounds from the fish monster's mauling, there was not a single part of his bones that was damaged. Even his chest was pierced through the gaps between the bones before it entered his body.
Without this large crossbow, it would be very difficult to kill Syndicate. However, without Salin's dual water and fire magic, it would be very troublesome to kill all the fish beasts on Syndicate's body. At least, it would be very exhausting. Salin and Rex wouldn't have any disputes over a level-eight creature. They each took what they needed. The skin was Rex's, and the bones were Salin's. The fascia could be divided in half, and the remaining things were the flesh and internal organs, which Salin used to feed the Thunder Dragon.
Salin and Rex didn't need to do these manual labor anymore. Taking advantage of the short break, Salin and Sue signed the contract.
The follower contract wasn't too forceful. The only thing that couldn't be violated was that they couldn't hurt each other. Sue knew many languages. Considering that it would be difficult for him to return to the subcontinent, Salin arranged for him to learn the language of the Myers Continent first.
The four empires had the common language, but the nobles had to learn all the languages of the various countries. Ordinary people didn't have this opportunity. Sue had to learn the common language first. Fortunately, he wouldn't become mute in this plane.
Mages didn't have any obstacles in learning languages. After all, they could use special magic to learn. Salin had mastered many languages since he was very young. However, there were no shortcuts for swordsmen. Sue could only adapt slowly.
The arrow that was shot into Syndicate's body was retrieved. The arrowhead was worn, and the magic array was broken. It had to be reforged.
Space tunnels continued to appear nearby. These space tunnels didn't have any pattern to speak of, and the planes they connected to were also strange. However, not all space tunnels would produce creatures. Some only sucked out some rocks and plants. Some space tunnels existed for a long time, so they had to strengthen their defense. They couldn't relax at all. Some only flashed by.
The battle was guided by the mages. They wouldn't attack unless it was necessary. The swordsmen had alchemy crossbows, throwing axes, and javelins. All of these weapons were very costly. However, to avoid sudden accidents, the mages restrained themselves and tried not to exhaust their magic strings.
Fortunately, at least half of the creatures left good materials after they were killed. In comparison, the income could completely offset the losses.
Sue watched these warriors fight with some admiration. He could see that the swordsmen were far less powerful than him. However, with various factors such as equipment and cooperation, they could easily deal with the creatures that just came out of the space tunnel.
There were many tactics that didn't exist in the subcontinents. On the subcontinents, the countries were very small, and the atmosphere of each country was to advocate individual bravery. A powerful knight could fight with a group of farmers, and their equipment was not as good as that of the Myers Continent.
He didn't know how his hometown was. The border of his country wasn't peaceful either. The half-elves were nibbling at the surrounding land. The beastmen were suffering from famine and would inevitably attack the nearby cities in winter. But he couldn't go back. Even if he went back, he couldn't represent his family to join the army without completing the trial.
"Sue, do you want to go back?" Salin's experience was a hundred times more complicated than Sue's. He could see Sue's melancholy.
"Sir, my hometown … needs warriors." After saying this, Sue smiled embarrassedly and continued, "I know. Crossing planes isn't something I can do."
Salin was silent. If he wanted to tear the planes and cross over, he needed to be at least level 11. However, it was difficult to find even a level 10 person on the Myers Continent. Sue was quite pitiful. Like Nelis, he was trapped on the Myers Continent.
"Sir, I am quite lucky." Sue's mental state was not bad. He said to Salin, "If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I would have died."
Salin's heart was moved. What happened in the Purgatory Desert was strange. This chaotic space was like a natural hunting ground. Many creatures were attracted, and it would suddenly rain, allowing the fish beasts to hatch.
But there were too few records about the Purgatory Desert. Salin couldn't deduce anything.
Temporarily putting down his worries, Salin asked, "Can you ride a horse?"
"Yes." Sue had long been envious of those skeleton warhorses. In the subcontinent, there were many necromancers, but it was too expensive to hire them. The value of a skeleton warhorse was more than magic armor.
Salin released a skeleton warhorse from the Green Spirit and let Sue ride it. It was much easier for the two to communicate. Sue had been standing outside the car. When he got on the horse, his height was right next to the window.
"What weapon are you good at?"
Sue thought for a moment and said, "The weapons in the subcontinent are probably different from here. But I like to use knives. I don't care about style, as long as it's long enough. "
Salin chose four weapons from his demon bracelet and gave them to Sue. One of them was a double-edged sawtooth knife. This knife was more than three meters long. It was originally made for Grizzly Bear, but there was a problem when it was made. The center of gravity was at the back, and Grizzly Bear didn't feel comfortable using it.
"Salin, the frequency of the space tunnel's appearance has decreased. We have to leave." Rex had been observing and calculating. At this time, he reminded.
Salin nodded and let the demons return to the chariot, leaving only the construct puppets. The materials of this camp were more expensive. The swordsmen dismantled it bit by bit. Rex put it into the Divine Sieve Ring and prepared to leave.
At this time, the light in the sky became stronger. All the mages felt the space ripple.
