The Demon King stood up, and there seemed to be a few more villagers who came to watch the fun.
"I know who the culprit is."
He said.
The villagers began to talk, most of them were confused. He just came to take a look and found the culprit? Could it be that he was a god?
"I think this person must be here to cheat us."
The bearded old man scolded. Luo Shan was also a little worried, but he really hoped that the other party could solve this matter.
The sound of their discussion reached Reina's ears, and she showed an uneasy expression.
"Master, did you find the culprit?"
She looked up and asked.
After all, she didn't find anything when they came to investigate together.
"Yes, if I'm not wrong, it should be them." The Demon King kept her in suspense and then walked to the group of villagers.
"I need some corn, preferably fresh, a charcoal basin, firewood, a few more buckets of water, and preferably some clean empty pots." The Demon King said to Luo Shan.
Hearing this, the villagers were even more confused.
"What do you want these things for?" Luo Shan frowned and asked. He racked his brain but couldn't think of any relationship between these things and the culprit who stole the crops.
"You'll know later." The Demon King said.
"Hey! Let's see, I have corn at home, let's see what tricks you have. "The bearded old man said and walked home step by step with his hands behind his back.
"Then I'll get the charcoal basin." Luo Shan said.
"I'll go get water."
The villagers were also bored, some went to get water, and some went back to get pots. The things that the Demon King asked for were enough.
After a while, several people came back with a bucket of water and a few pots. Luo Shan also came back with the charcoal basin and firewood, but the bearded old man was nowhere to be seen for a long time.
Was he just saying?
Just when everyone was doubting, the bearded old man angrily appeared in everyone's sight, he was holding a bag of unpeeled corn in his left hand and a pitchfork in his right hand.
"Yo, what's wrong, who made you angry again?"
The villagers asked jokingly.
At this time, the bearded old man was so angry that his beard was crooked, he angrily threw the corn to the ground.
"What a sin! I don't know who ate my bag of corn! If I catch him, I'll skin him alive! "He shouted loudly, his eyes glaring as if he really wanted to kill someone.
"Calm down and tell me what happened." Luo Shan asked.
The bearded old man's chest heaved up and down as he panted angrily. "Recently, all the vegetables in the fields have been eaten. I was worried that the criminals would target the food at home, so I dug a small cellar a few days ago. Who knew that damn bastard would use some method to eat some of my corn! Wu!! All that's left is the bag and some scraps. "
"Could it have been eaten by the rats?" the villagers asked.
"Does your rat have the ability to eat all my corn in one day? There isn't even a mouse hole. How did it get in? Did it move the stone away from the door and then move it back? "
When the bearded old man said this, the villagers could not help but feel afraid. After all, the crops in the fields could be planted again. But if there was no food at home, what would they eat? Furthermore, that thing could enter their homes. Who knew if it would happen when they were sleeping …
"I hope the culprit can be caught soon." Luo Shan was also very anxious. After all, it might be his own house next time. No one would gloat over his misfortune.
However, just as they were chatting, the Demon King had already prepared everything. He put the firewood in the charcoal basin and poured something on the corn and skewered it with a wooden stick.
"Isn't this just roasted corn! You stinking brat, are you playing with me! "
The bearded old man rolled up his sleeves and scolded angrily, but he was stopped by the villagers.
"Quiet!" The Demon King said. Then he let Reina use fire magic to light the charcoal basin. When Reina used magic, the villagers were shocked.
"Magician! This little girl is a magician! "
After seeing this magic, they were shocked. For civilians, magicians were rare. Of course, they used a lot of magic tools in their daily lives.
"I'm not a magician. My master is. I only learned a little bit." Reina said.
Not even a little bit.
The Demon King complained in his heart.
The villagers closed their mouths.
"Quiet, find a place to hide." The Demon King ordered.
After that, he walked behind a stone fence in the distance, and then the villagers ran to him. They saw the Demon King waved his hand, and suddenly a water column flew up. The villagers exclaimed, this is really a magician.
The water column flew to them and suddenly spread out into an umbrella, from the umbrella into a circle, into a transparent bubble, and wrapped everyone together.
Seeing this, Linnai wanted to learn as well, but she also wanted to know why her master was doing this. She saw the Demon King looking at the charcoal brazier through a crack in the rock. The villagers who were discussing spiritedly also gradually quieted down, and some of them also followed suit and peeked at the brazier.
The burning firewood made a crackling sound, the corn was roasted on the flame, and suddenly a burst of blue smoke rose.
The villagers subconsciously swallowed their saliva, but strangely, they didn't smell anything.
This is too strange. It is reasonable to say that burning firewood also has a smell, let alone roasting corn, a glutton can smell it ten miles away.
Time passed very slowly, they looked at the corn that was about to be roasted, but there was still no movement around.
Some people lost their patience, shook their legs, and turned their heads, suddenly, a pop sound shocked everyone.
Did the corn explode?
Yes, the corn that was roasted by the high temperature turned into popcorn and flew out, then continued to crackle and explode, suddenly a small area was covered with white popcorn.
But at this time, something came out of the ground.
No, something seems wrong, did it come out? Not accurate, it was like water in a sponge, it seeped out.
A translucent object with the same color as the sky, it looked sticky, like a round snail without a shell, and there were a lot of them, at least thirty of them.
That's right! They are the legendary Slimes! A strange creature that broke away from the food chain! They accurately crawled near the charcoal basin and picked up the popcorn on the ground.
"Could it be that these Slimes are eating our crops?"
Luo Shan asked in surprise.
"That's right, there is no cursed land, it's just the Slimes' doing." The Demon King said lightly.
"Ah!! Watch me beat these animals to death! "
At this moment, the bearded old man rushed out and the bubble burst. He held the pitchfork and stabbed at a Slime. Suddenly, the pitchfork pierced through the Slime's body. However, something even more shocking happened. A bubble suddenly emerged from the Slime's body.
"Get away from it!" The Demon King shouted.
But it was too late, the bubble suddenly burst, suddenly some transparent and stinky liquid splashed on the old man's body.
"Ah!! It hurts! My face! My hand! "
The bearded old man shouted in pain, the villagers rushed up and pulled him back.
"Hold his hand, don't let him wipe his face, use water to wash the digestive fluid."
The Demon King commanded.
Reina quickly carried the half bucket of water, then rushed to the bearded old man's body.
"What's next?" Luo Shan asked anxiously.
"It's okay, at most the skin will be burned, just apply some ointment and it will be fine." The Demon King said lightly.
But at this time, the villagers realized that the Slimes had drilled into the ground again, not even their shadows could be seen.
