Survival test. This kind of strict training method was usually used to train soldiers.
Even for soldiers with extremely strong physiques, this was a cruel training, and the passing rate was not 100%.
However, this was the most effective training method that could increase the trainee's willpower, awareness, insight, and other key factors in a short period of time. Of course, this training method also had many drawbacks, the biggest of which was the trainee's death.
Don't worry, this would definitely not happen.
At this time, a certain Demon King disguised as an owl was lying on top of the small tree hole, indifferently looking at the densely packed red eyes around it.
"Get lost!"
The owl said a word, and it was unknown what kind of magic this word had, but when the monsters hiding in the darkness heard it, they were scared witless and ran away in an instant.
Its eyes glanced at the girl sleeping soundly in the tree hole, and its eyes suddenly became gentle.
Sigh ~ Can't you just give up?
The morning in the forest was later than outside, but the girl woke up early in the morning, and her hungry stomach was like an alarm clock, making a sound on time.
"Sir Hero?"
After getting up, Reina called out tentatively, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked around in a daze.
She was a bit disappointed, but quickly regained her spirit.
"You can do it! Do your best, Reina!!! "
Reina said to herself, and then took the knife and walked out of the tree hole.
After staying in the wild for a day, she had slightly adapted to the forest environment, but only slightly.
"Water ~"
Reina, whose mouth was dry, had not drunk water for a day. She licked her dry lips, and her heart was desperate to drink water.
She held the knife and cut the bark, but no sap flowed out.
Even if there was, one or two drops would not quench her thirst, and most of the plants in the forest were poisonous.
She continued to look for water.
At this time, a red ladybug flew to a branch and coldly looked at her.
If she did not find water in two hours, then it would be a pity, and he would have to stop the course.
The Demon King ladybug thought so. At this time, a ladybug that had taken a fancy to his round body and sexy horns flew to the same leaf as him, and began a courtship dance.
Get lost!
The Demon King's little ladybug kicked it away in disdain.
It seemed that God still cared for little Reina. Just as the time was about to come, she heard the sound of running water. Following the sound, she found a mountain spring in a crack between the rocks.
"Ha ~ water!"
Reina used her hands as a bowl and drank a mouthful of water. The cool and sweet spring water made her feel alive.
"It's so sweet! I really want Lord Hero to taste it too."
After she finished drinking, she said with a blissful expression.
Humph! There's no use trying to flatter me. I won't help you!
The Demon King's little ladybug was lying in the grass behind her, secretly observing.
After Reina finished drinking the mountain spring water, she left to find something to fill her stomach.
At this time, after she left, the Demon King's little ladybug flew to the spring and drank a mouthful of spring water with its mouth that was like a straw.
"Isn't this just ordinary water?"
Demon King Richard complained.
Then, it chased after Reina's figure.
Although the resources in the forest were very rich, not everyone could obtain them. If you had a lot of botanical knowledge and knew which plants could be eaten, then you definitely wouldn't starve to death in the forest. However, for people who didn't know anything, the forest was a mine that couldn't be mined.
So what would she do? Could it be that she wanted to endure the hunger and hide until the end of the trial?
That was impossible.
The Demon King knew that humans could only drink water and not eat for a few weeks, so he didn't tell Reina how long she had to survive. This also meant that the date could be a day, a week, a month, or even a year.
"Let me see what you'll do."
The Demon King's little ladybug muttered to itself, but its voice was similar to a mosquito's.
At this time, the wild male ladybug that was holding a berry and hadn't given up came again. The Demon King's little ladybug glared at it, then quickly flew away. The pitiful ladybug was stunned in place, as if it had been petrified.
Reina's idea was very simple, which was to eat the roots of plants. She used a small knife to dig out the roots of plants, and she also seemed to recognize a few edible plants. However, she missed out on a large number of edible plants that didn't have much nutritional value. She only recognized one or two.
She skillfully pulled out a plant, peeled off the skin and leaves, leaving only a part of the roots and stems. Then, she put it in her mouth, chewed twice, and swallowed it. Her bitter face didn't need to ask to know whether it was delicious or not.
Sigh.
The Demon King Richard couldn't help but sigh.
If this continued, she was destined to fail. Maybe it was a cold, or maybe it was because she ate the wrong thing, or maybe it was because she ate all the plants she recognized and got into trouble.
Why didn't she just give up? Why did she have to suffer for nothing?
When it was almost night time, she used the branches she picked up from the ground to make a very simple shelter under a big tree near the spring.
"Flame Magic!"
She shouted the name of the magic at a pile of dry wood, but there wasn't a single spark on her hand.
That night, she still didn't succeed in making a fire, and could only suffer from the cold.
On the third day of the trial, she was in a daze for a longer time after waking up. Perhaps it was because the accumulated fat in her body was about to be used up, but she didn't look very energetic.
However, her body was still healthy. The Demon King, who could see the other party's condition with a glance, knew when the trial would end.
That day, it was still the same. She spent most of her time looking for food. The food she recognized around her had already been eaten, and it probably wouldn't be enough to fill her stomach tomorrow.
In the evening, she tried to make a fire, and as expected, she failed.
On the fourth day of the trial, the night in the forest was also cold. In the middle of the night, she woke up a few times from the cold. If she couldn't make a fire tomorrow, it would be dangerous …
From the current situation, she still hadn't learned Flame Magic. Although the Demon King seemed to teach it very casually, he taught it to every Hero in the past. The only difference was that the Heroes in the past had much better aptitudes.
That day, Reina, who was lacking food, decided to go further away to look for food. However, she accidentally fell and injured her left foot, causing it to bleed a little.
But she quickly treated the wound, using the Hemostatic Grass in the forest to apply it.
Originally, the Demon King planned to stop the trial, but thinking that treating wounds was also part of his assessment, and that she handled it very beautifully, without even the slightest bit of panic, he decided to postpone it and wait until night time.
Sure enough, she didn't eat her fill today. Not only was she not full, she was also injured and limped a little when she walked.
"Flame Magic!"
When the sky was about to turn dark, she began to practice mastering Flame Magic as usual.
However.
"Flame Magic! Flame Magic! Flame Magic! "
The sky was completely dark. Even in the dark, the Demon King could still see everything around him. He looked at Reina's anxious face and sighed.
It's over.
