"Woo ~ ~"
A wolf's howl came from the depths of the forest, startling a flock of birds perched on the branches. They desperately fled towards the sky, and the sound of their wings flapping could be heard from a few hundred meters away.
When the flock of fish scale deer heard the wolf's howl, their pupils instantly contracted, and the scales on their bodies trembled, producing a hissing sound.
"Yi!!!"
The leader of the deer suddenly let out a frightened cry, then immediately turned around and fled at an extremely fast speed, leaving Reina alone, hugging her head and curling up on the ground.
After a while, she realized that the terrifying deer had already run away.
Sigh.
Hiding in the forest, the Demon King, who was secretly observing, sighed. He originally wanted to directly take action and announce the failure of the trial. But what he didn't expect was that even at the last moment, Reina didn't shout for help.
This was not a good thing for ordinary people. Humans were social animals, and the reason why they could stand out among the many species was because of the word 'help'.
The Demon King had a deep understanding of the evolution of creatures. He had studied the evolution of various species, including the Demon King's species.
He was naturally very interested in humans, who did not have outstanding physical abilities, but could defeat any beast. Through his research, he believed that the reason why humans could become one of the most powerful species was because of their communication.
Communication was like a rope, connecting many people together. When you wanted to make a move on a human, it also meant that you had issued a challenge to all the people that the human was in contact with. For solitary carnivores, they would not put a human in their eyes, but when it came to a group of people, they could not afford to provoke them. Provoking one of them would lead to endless revenge from countless humans.
Therefore, this cry for help was the strength of humans.
And when she encountered danger, she did not shout for help or scream. This was really puzzling.
"Wolf?"
Just as the Demon King was in a daze, Reina stood up. Thinking of the wolf's howl just now, she felt afraid. Holding the broken wooden spear, she quickly climbed up the tree and hid there, observing the surroundings.
After a long time, after confirming that there were no traces of wolves around, she dared to come down from the tree.
She drank some water by the river and then looked around for something.
The Demon King guessed that she might be looking for prey, but after thinking about it, her weapon was broken, so she might be looking for a place to camp.
However, if that was the case, then she had made another mistake.
Camping by the river might not be a good choice. This was a road for wild animals. If you were blocked by something, even if there was a fire, it might not guarantee your safety.
Fortunately, she was only looking for vines. She used the vines as ropes and did something on a beast path.
The Demon King looked at it seriously.
So it was a trap. This was the correct explanation. Hunting wasn't just about killing prey with a bow and arrow or a spear. Hunters often used traps to hunt.
Little Reina fiddled with the trap for a long time. As her back was blocked, the Demon King did not know what kind of trap she made. When she stood up in satisfaction, she found that it was just two strands of grass tied together on the ground! Wasn't that a prank he used to play when he was young?!
The Demon King almost cursed out loud. How could this kind of trap be successful?
He saw little Reina holding the broken wooden spear and digging behind the trap.
Eh, the Demon King seemed to have guessed her genius idea. Her plan should be like this. A pitiful idiot wild boar passed by as usual, but it did not notice the two strands of grass tied together on the road. Then, it tripped and fell into the hole she dug. The hunt was a success.
It would be strange if it was successful!
The Demon King was dancing in anger in the dark. However, Reina was convinced that her trap could catch the prey and was happily digging a hole on the ground.
The next morning.
"Why is it like this … …"
Reina knelt in front of the trap she made in disappointment. The two strands of grass had already been eaten, and the hole she dug was also buried.
The Demon King did not do anything. Of course, he knew what happened last night. A wild boar passed by and directly ate the grass blocking the road. Then, it jumped over the hole and used its hind legs to dig the soil and fill it up.
However, Reina did not seem to understand how her flawless plan failed.
Just when she wanted to try digging again, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness that made her feel weak all over, and she almost fell head first into the ground.
"What's going on? My body can't use any strength. "
Reina crawled up from the ground with difficulty and found that she did not even have the strength to hold the spear.
Ah ah, I really reached my limit.
The Demon King sighed lightly.
Her body did not have much fat reserves in the first place, and she had used up too much energy digging the hole yesterday. Today, she was already exhausted. If she forced herself to continue, it would cause irreversible damage to her body.
The Demon King returned to his human form and silently walked towards her. This time, it was really over.
"I won't give up!"
Suddenly, Reina shouted, scaring the Demon King behind her.
Her face was full of fighting spirit, as if she was determined to win.
"Luo Luo Ta Ta, Gurigalaji Wha!!"
Reina suddenly started talking nonsense, but the Demon King was shocked. Wasn't this the spell he made up casually?!
A green light flashed, and the surrounding vines changed shape, turning into a natural rope trap.
The Demon King himself did not expect that his flower magic could be used like this.
"Interesting."
"Hm? Sir Hero? "
After hearing the sound, Reina immediately turned around, but there was nothing behind her.
"Did I hear wrong? I think I heard Sir Hero's voice. Sigh ~ I wonder if Sir Hero has been well these past few days. Did you eat … … "
The Demon King, who had turned into a ladybug, had a drop of sweat on his forehead. He thought to himself that he had almost been exposed. Just now, he accidentally said what was on his mind. He really shouldn't have. Speaking of which, she was actually able to draw inferences from one case. This made the Demon King admire her.
Therefore, he decided to make an exception and give Reina another day.
In the remaining time, Reina set up traps on all the beast paths. This was also the right thing to do.
The eighth day of the trial, which was also the last day.
The sun was brighter than usual. Perhaps it was because it was a sunny day with no clouds in the sky.
Today, the Demon King was in a good mood. He floated above the forest, bathing in the sun.
He was probably the only Demon King who liked the sun.
At this time, the girl in the forest had woken up early and was checking the traps she had set up yesterday.
Suddenly, she heard the cry of a wild boar. Then, she revealed an excited smile.
She was not careless. She grabbed a newly made wooden spear and went forward to check it. She found a wild boar hanging by its hind legs.
Reina was stunned. This day was like a dream. She did not expect that she would actually succeed.
She gathered her courage, held the spear, and aimed it at the wild boar's neck. She directly stabbed it without hesitation.
Just as she succeeded in killing the wild boar, a figure appeared in front of her.
"Not bad. You passed."
The Demon King said indifferently.
A bright smile slowly appeared on Reina's face. She rushed up and hugged the Demon King. She said happily, "It's great that you're safe! Sir Hero ~ "
