It was a very strange terrain. It was obviously a large plain, but they could see mountains covered in snow. The mountains went straight into the sky. Looking at it from afar, it felt unrealistic.
Buzz buzz buzz ~
The sound of flies could be heard from more than ten meters away.
"It stinks, Master."
Reina covered her nose and grabbed her master's clothes, trying to get him away from the corpse in front of them.
"I know."
The Demon King ignored her protest and took her to the source of the stench. It was a corpse. Looking at the bones, it should be a sheep.
"It should have been dead for more than ten days. Tell me, what did you see from this corpse?"
"Eh? Let me see, uh, the bones are scattered, there is a hole in the skull. "
Reina imitated Richard's tone and spoke pretentiously while peeking at her master's expression.
"So … according to the above conditions … uh … it should be … dead!"
Smack!!
Reina's head immediately made a crisp sound. The Demon King's iron fist was never late.
"You should at least know that there are dangerous creatures here."
"But what if it was killed by a human?"
Reina was unconvinced and quibbled.
"That's impossible. Humans wouldn't be so wasteful. It's obvious that it was killed by wild beasts or monsters. The fatal wound was on the head. The missing limbs were probably because there was more than one creature hunting it. It might have been caused by a fight. If you encounter this kind of corpse on your journey, you must not take it lightly. "
The Demon King repeatedly emphasized.
"Yes ~ Master."
Reina said weakly. But at this time, a few strange birds suddenly flew by in the sky.
"Master, can we leave here? It stinks. "
Reina said to the Demon King who was looking at the sky. The Demon King stared at the strange birds and didn't say anything.
The strange birds circled above their heads before flying off into the distance.
"Something's wrong."
The Demon King suddenly said.
"Eh? What's wrong? "
"In short, let's leave here first."
With that, the two quickened their pace. Reina also became nervous.
"What's wrong? Master. "
"Pay attention to your surroundings. Don't miss any details."
The Demon King said coldly. Although he didn't seem to be walking very fast, Reina realized that if she didn't run, she wouldn't be able to catch up with her master's footsteps. Moreover, they had opened up a distance, and this distance made Reina feel very uneasy.
The strange bird in the sky spread its wings and slowly moved towards the two of them. It only flapped its wings and turned around to leave when the two of them arrived at the forest.
"What's wrong? Master, what happened? "
Reina became nervous. The two of them hid behind the tree trunk.
"Something's not right. Did you notice those two birds?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"They're not ordinary birds. They're a type of magical creature. With their size, they can probably take you away directly."
"Sigh!!"
Reina suddenly felt a lingering fear, because those birds did not look big, she did not know that it was just that the other party was too far away from her.
"With Master around, I'm sure we won't be afraid of them."
Reina asked tentatively.
The Demon King lightly knocked her head and said: "Whether they're afraid or not is another problem. The biggest problem right now is that they're showing hostility, but they didn't attack. Don't you think it's strange?"
Hearing this, Reina frowned and thought for a moment.
"Now that you mention it, it's quite strange. Could it be that they're not hungry?"
The Demon King sighed and said: "Maybe that's possible, but you haven't considered the worse things. You have to always consider the worst things."
Reina suddenly felt afraid.
"Giant magical creatures, especially carnivorous flying magical creatures, usually don't hunt together. They clearly have a division of labor, which means that they're not ordinary magical creatures. They're orderly and organized."
The Demon King paused and frowned.
"This also means that they're not wild magical creatures, but an army of magical creatures."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few humanoid monsters wearing pig iron armor and holding weapons suddenly appeared where they were standing. The armor covered most of their bodies, and only their long noses and mouths full of fangs could be seen. They were riding wolves that were as tall as horses, and they kept sniffing the surroundings.
"Do you see it?"
A glass mirror floating in the air let Reina see this scene.
"I see it! They're armored monsters! "
Reina couldn't help but tremble in fear.
"They've smelled our scent. I'm afraid they'll find us soon."
"Then what should we do?"
"If you were alone, what would you do?"
The Demon King asked.
Reina was in a dilemma. She frowned.
"I … … I want to run … …"
When a person was alone, they would feel uneasy, not to mention meeting a monster in a strange place.
"Very good answer."
The Demon King smiled and patted her head.
"In any case, if you can avoid fighting, don't fight unless the opponent is weaker than you, and the benefits of defeating the opponent are worth it. Otherwise, don't fight easily. Even if you can win, consuming magic power and being injured will make your state decline. You don't know if there will be someone secretly watching you, so don't act rashly. "
"Oh ~ Then should we run away?"
"No, you have to judge whether you can escape or not. Now that those monsters are riding wolves and can run quickly in the grassland and forest, we can't outrun them."
"So we still have to go and defeat them?"
Reina clenched her trembling fist and looked at the Demon King.
"Yes, but they'll come and be defeated by us, not the other way around."
"Eh? What do you mean? "
Reina asked in confusion.
The Demon King took out a staff from his pocket. It was the staff that he gave to Reina before but didn't take it back.
"There's a bit of time before they come, so take advantage of this time to make the surroundings as advantageous to yourself as possible."
With that, the Demon King handed the staff to the confused Reina.
"In other words, you have to set up a trap."
"Oh!!"
Reina suddenly understood.
…
"Ga!! Smash! "
The group of monsters riding wolves came to the forest, and the giant wolves lowered their heads to sniff the scent on the ground.
"Woo!!"
The leading wolf roared, and the monster sitting on it suddenly turned around and howled a few times, then rushed in a certain direction.
At this moment, the leading monster turned around, and suddenly a vine crossed in front of it. It crashed into the vine, and the monster was stopped in place. The vine immediately wrapped around its neck, and then quickly dragged it to a tree.
"Ah! Ah! "
The monsters behind immediately stopped. They saw their companions hanging on the tree, but their spears and swords couldn't reach them.
After the monster was entangled, it desperately struggled, took out the machete at its waist, cut off the vine on its head, and suddenly fell down, heavily falling to the ground.
The weight of the armor and its own weight made the fall quite heavy. However, even after falling from a height of six to seven meters, it still did not die. The monster's physique seemed to be very strong, but when it stood up, an ominous voice came from above.
When the monster raised its head, it saw a stone in front of its eyes.
