"Ah ~ Morning."
Chang Sheng stretched and greeted the Demon King who was tidying up the tent.
"Morning."
"Do you guys usually wake up this early?" Evergreen asked as he did his warm-up exercises.
"The temperature in the morning is cooler. It's the best time for hiking."
"I see. What a nice trip."
Chang Sheng nodded and said enviously.
The Demon King glanced at him. Just as he was about to say something, a head suddenly popped out from the rock.
"Master! Come and see what this is. "
Then she disappeared behind the rock.
The Demon King and Chang Sheng looked at each other and felt a little strange.
There was a strange thing on the grass. Its shape was similar to a traveler's backpack, but the strange thing was that its skeleton was made of iron. It was stuffed with white fluff, like a bird's nest.
What was even stranger was that it had a belt made of leather with loops on it. The workmanship was very rough, like a half-finished product.
"What the hell is this?"
"I haven't seen it before. It should be some kind of backpack?"
The Demon King touched his chin. He turned his head and looked at Reina who had a meritorious look on her face.
"Where did you pick this thing up?"
"In the river. It was stuck on a rock in the river. Then I carried it back."
Reina said proudly. Looking at her expression, it was as if she was saying "praise me".
"Eh? You carried such a big thing back by yourself? "
Chang Sheng's eyes widened. This thing was not small. It was almost bigger than Reina. He lifted it slightly. It was at least seventy to eighty pounds.
"Yes! I'm awesome, right? Hehe. "
Reina looked up and said.
"By the way, didn't I ask you to get water? Where's the water? "
The Demon King's words made Reina deflated.
"Eh? I forgot. "
"Forgot? Where's the basin? "
"Eh!! I! I'll go get it now! "
After saying that, Lena ran away like a wisp of smoke.
The Demon King frowned and squatted down to take a closer look at this strange thing.
"What exactly is this thing used for?"
Chang Sheng also squatted down and observed.
"I'm not sure. Perhaps it was the work of an apprentice craftsman who threw it into the river to prevent his master from discovering it," the Demon King said calmly.
"Although your conjecture is very reasonable, there are no towns nearby. The nearest town is also downstream. It will take half a day to reach upstream. The river cannot possibly carry such a heavy object so far away," Longevity analyzed.
The Demon King nodded.
"Its workmanship is very crude. Human craftsmen wouldn't treat something like this as a finished product. And from the marks on it, it seems to be very new. It should have fallen into the river a few days ago. "
"I've only just arrived here, so I'm not sure if there are any survivors nearby. Moreover, it's really inconceivable for a refugee to carry such a cumbersome thing."
Chang Sheng frowned. Looking at this ominous thing, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"In other words, this might not be man-made."
"That's too scary. Why would those demons make something like this?"
"I'm not sure. And didn't they also make armor and weapons? It shouldn't be strange for them to make something like this."
The Demon King said.
Demons generally did not rely on weapons and equipment like humans. They were more willing to believe in their sharp fangs and claws. Demons who valued strength rarely had nimble fingers, so it was difficult for them to make exquisite things.
"Master! I've brought the water back. "
At this moment, Reina ran back with a basin of water.
"In short, no matter how we think, we can't get an answer. As for what it is, we need to see it with our own eyes to know."
The Demon King stood up.
"That's true."
Chang Sheng clapped his hands and agreed.
After a simple breakfast, the three immediately set off.
"Are we going directly to that mountain?"
Reina turned around and asked with her luggage.
"Yes, I can bring you back to Sky Pointing Peak now."
"No, you should have other things to do. We have plenty of time anyway. Why don't we take care of your matters first? Or maybe we'll be a hindrance to you."
"No, no, that's not the case."
Chang Sheng smiled.
"We're planning to go to a small village to see if there are any survivors. Actually, there's not much hope. It's not a problem to go back directly."
"Okay! Then let's go to the village and take a look. "
Reina looked full of fighting spirit.
"We might encounter an army of demons."
"That's great! I have to teach those guys a lesson today and let them know how powerful I am. "
"Eh?"
Chang Sheng was a little surprised by Reina's change.
"This guy learned a new spell yesterday and is now arrogant. She'll learn from it if she suffers a little."
The Demon King said indifferently.
"Okay, let's go."
In the forest, the three's pace was completely different. The Demon King walked steadily and looked around from time to time. Chang Sheng smiled and walked through the forest with relaxed steps.
Reina, on the other hand, had endless energy. Whenever she saw something she had never seen before, she would run over to observe it.
"Master! Colorful mushrooms! "
"It's poisonous. Don't touch it."
"Master! What a strange fruit. "
"It's poisonous. Don't eat it."
The Demon King said indifferently as if he was used to it. Chang Sheng smiled and looked at the two, feeling that this master and disciple were very interesting.
"Master! Look! What a strange bug. "
"That's a nest of spiky bugs! Run! "
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he fled the scene. The Demon King followed closely behind. Before Reina could react, a grasshopper-like bug jumped on her face.
"Ah!!!!"
Reina's scream spread throughout the forest.
"It hurts, Master."
After a while, the three of them ran for a long distance. Reina cried. At this time, her face was swollen.
"You reap what you sow."
The Demon King said as he applied some green ointment on her face.
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Be gentle, Master. "
"Bear with it."
"Master, can't you use that trick to cure me?"
"I can't."
This was Chang Sheng's medicine. He did not know how effective it would be. The Demon King finished applying the ointment and stood up. At this time, Chang Sheng, who had climbed up the tree, suddenly jumped down.
"The village is in front. There seems to be traces of demons. Do you want to stay here, or …"
"Go and kill them!"
Reina raised her staff and said.
The Demon King shrugged and showed a helpless expression.
"Okay, let's go."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he took out the saber at his waist. The Demon King observed carefully and found that the rope tied to the saber was not an ordinary rope. It looked like it was woven with many metal filaments. It was quite elastic and extremely tough.
"Then I'll go and take the lead."
Before he could finish his sentence, the saber at his waist suddenly flew out. However, in mid-air, the saber immediately stopped in mid-air. Chang Sheng tugged on the rope, but the saber remained motionless. Instead, he bounced off and flew several feet away.
