"If we find it, then all the time they spent will not have been wasted."
In the first two cities, you leave once you reach the level cap, but in this demon territory, you can keep raising your level until you're strong enough to defeat a demon viscount!
Level 10, 11, 12, and even 13 demons can fight their way up here without worrying about the consequences they cause!
As long as you don't provoke the most troublesome lord, they can kill the others as they please.
Moreover, they can kill the demon leader of one territory without being noticed by the demon leaders of other territories.
Because the demon leaders did not form an intelligence network at all!
Just ...
For the other three members of the team, searching in this unknown rainforest was too much of a ordeal.
Faced with endless darkness, they only felt physically and mentally exhausted.
They didn't know when they would find their way, or whether they had lost their way.
Compared to setting clear goals and launching attacks in the past, they now seem like headless flies, bumping around aimlessly.
After resting for a while, the three of them found that Milu was curled up like a kitten and asleep on the [light wall].
“Milu can actually sleep in a place like this…” Lycorina grinned.
“There’s nothing else to do if we don’t sleep,” An Yi said, understandingly.
"You guys get some sleep too! I'll keep watch!" Layton said with a carefree laugh.
Lycorina: "If I fall asleep, won't you all fall to the ground?"
Layton: "Ah... haha, that's true, then An Yi... never mind!"
He also knew that even if everyone else was asleep, An Yi wouldn't be able to fall asleep.
Another wave... eight
"rustle--"
A sound came from one side of the rainforest.
The three didn't pay much attention; this was a rainforest, and the sounds of insects and demons were almost everywhere, something they had long since ignored.
"Shh—" Lu
"Shh—" 3
An Yi, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them; four
"Something is approaching us."
"Are they demons?!" Layton became alert.
An Yi nodded: "Yes, but... wait a moment."
After a long while, the sound grew closer and closer, and it was quite obvious that the other party was moving towards the four of them, but at a slow speed.
Miluko was also woken up, and all three of them were on high alert.
An Yi calmly looked in the direction the sound came from, until—
A giant centipede head, as big as a washbasin, emerged from the bushes!
"Eaaah!!"
"Well!!"
Lycorina and Miluko turned pale with fright and drew their weapons almost instantly.
"Don't kill it yet," An Yi whispered.
"Ha ha--"
Laughter came from the giant centipede's head.
Immediately afterwards, the centipede emerged from the bushes, and surprisingly, it was wearing a robe under its elongated head!
The centipede's segmented body was visible beneath the robe, but the robe had multiple sleeves, just enough to allow its long legs to extend out from within. The ends of the long legs were surprisingly human-like hands that could grasp normally.
Just by stretching out its head, it was already two and a half meters tall, but...
On one of its long legs, several long legs hold a long staff.
"Following the light, I finally found you."
"Travelers from afar," the giant centipede laughed.
Chapter 239 Underground Settlement (4k)
[Creature: Elder Centipede (★11)]
Strength: 40 Agility: 40 Stamina: 30
Resilience: 40 Magic: 150 Intelligence: 10
Tip: 20
The giant centipede that suddenly appeared was clearly a level 11 demon!
"What are you doing here?!" Lei Yidu stood directly at the front, glaring at Elder Centipede and roaring.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous," Elder Centipede laughed. "I'm just a guide."
Foreign demons often get lost here.
Judging from your appearance, you must have used some kind of demon-dispelling props, right?
If we just unleash our magic, we should be able to find you sooner.
"The guide?" Layton asked, puzzled.
Are demons really that kind?
At this moment, An Yi also spoke in the chat group;
[Sword Hero: If the other side wants to attack us, deliberately making a noise is obviously an unwise choice.]
Instead of killing it, let's see what it's up to.
Moreover, it might even lead us to a demon settlement.
An Yi had never encountered this situation before, but based on experience, she judged that at least the other party did not intend to kill them at the moment.
Demons wouldn't help other demons for no reason; the other party might want something from the four of them.
"How much?" Annie asked casually.
"Money? Haha! Let's not talk about money!"
"Money is worthless here. Anyone who's come here is definitely not short of money; what they lack is what they want." Elder Centipede laughed heartily.
It thought to itself that these four people were indeed complete novices and didn't understand the rules of this place at all.
"You also have things you want, right?"
"Come with me, I'll take you to where we trade," said Elder Centipede.
Is it a kind and helpful demon?
That's not it.
Simply put, these four people must have considerable strength to have made it this far.
Taking rash action, aside from the risk of losing one's life, also yields uncertain profits.
But bringing them into a settlement changes the situation.
They will likely go in search of certain materials and to hunt down some demons in this rainforest.
Generally speaking, not every single material a demon possesses is needed.
For example, they might need a demon's tooth, but other than the tooth, the rest of the body part is useless.
The other parts will naturally appear on the market.
Meanwhile, other demons will need different body parts in the market.
In this way, it's essentially a win-win situation.
"It's not that simple," An Yi suddenly spoke up. "What's the price for leading the way?"
"No, no, no, there's no price to pay! That's too harsh a way of putting it!"
Your presence at the market is a blessing to us all!
Of course, there are things I want too. (潵)
"Once we arrive at the destination, I will explain my mission to you all. Whether you wish to assist me or not is up to you," said Elder Centipede.
[The Shield Hero: What should we do? Go with him? Part 4]
Holy Warrior: The demon-blocking items are useless against demons, and aside from that, we haven't shown anything of significant value. Bait
It might die if it attacks us, so I don't think it has any reason to risk deceiving us.
Hero of the Thorns: ...What if we are led to a place with many demons and they surround and attack us?
Sword Hero: Is there really such a good thing?
The Hero Who Pierces: ?
Holy Warrior: I was thinking, we've been on this journey for so long, and we've finally found a clue, so why don't we just take it one step at a time?
Sword Hero: I have no objection.
It's no longer a question of how long the four of them have been traveling; rather, it's that the demons have already noticed them.
If the other party wants to set a trap, there's more than one way they can do it.
If we don't follow Elder Centipede now, they'll ambush us elsewhere later.
If they go along, at least they can be prepared. But if it turns into a surprise attack from an unknown location and at an unknown time, it will catch them off guard.
Since Lycorina and Annie both decided to go, Layton and Miluko naturally had no objections.
"If you dare to do anything underhanded, I'll kill you," An Yi said calmly.
"Alright, alright, I won't do anything underhanded." Elder Centipede smiled and shook his head.
