"We are hunting a level 10 demon, a giant steel serpent with an iron body to defend against magic," the withered tree spirit said.
It can kill its opponent, but it needs to expend a certain amount of magic power to defeat the opponent's defense and resistance to magic.
So before that, let the other demons deplete the opponent's strength, and then...
It can then reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
Chapter 241 The Fisherman's Gain (4k)
Having a low profile is actually a good thing.
The four members of the Saintess Squad possessed very weak magical power, making them virtually nonexistent in environments rich in magical energy.
Even if a few demons are on guard and deliberately paying attention to them, they will soon be unable to control themselves and will ignore them.
It's not that they weren't vigilant; rather, they simply didn't perceive the existence of these four creatures.
When my mind wandered for a moment, I forgot that the Saintess Squad was still nearby.
The main reason is that the four of them didn't pose any threat. They didn't show any strength during the melee and didn't say a word from beginning to end. They were just four invisible figures among the demons.
The withered tree spirit said, "I will use vines to completely enclose its territory, so that it cannot escape this space."
Then, all you have to do is use your own ideas.
If you can kill it, that would be best. If you can't, try to buy me some time. I'll make my move when I'm ready.
You have five minutes. Whatever you want to say or do, hurry up.
"Okay, I'll go first. Our target is the steel armor on Steelix's body, about two meters in length and width will be enough."
“We want that thing too, it’s also two meters long and wide.”
"I want the steel ribs of three Steel Serpents."
"I...I just need a small piece of the serration," one of the demons said timidly.
The opponent is a giant serpent demon, so it's naturally not its place to covet crucial materials like venomous fangs.
Alternatively, you can buy it yourself at the market.
Either die here.
There are only two fangs. Why would the "hunter" give up such a crucial and rare material?
Each demon squad had clearly stated their needs, and the meaning was quite simple;
If there is no conflict of interest, then each other can just be passersby, taking what they need.
But if there is a conflict of interest, then it's good to know who the real competitor is.
Of course, there's no rule against lying.
Even if they state their needs, it could be fake, and then they'll turn around and accuse others when it comes time to divide the spoils.
Finally, only the four members of the Saintess Squad had not yet explained their purpose for coming.
“We only need one saw tooth,” An Yi said calmly.
The serrated edges weren't venomous fangs; there were hundreds to thousands of them in the mouths of the four giant snakes, so they weren't anything rare.
However, it can't be completely pulled out, since this part is considered a relatively important part of the snake's head.
[Saint Warrior: What do we need serrations for?]
Sword Hero: Just kidding.
A single snake head can produce many serrated blades, making it less likely to clash with demon teams that share a common goal.
Those who asked for snakeskin, even a fool would know they wanted to make robes with a certain level of magic resistance.
Most of the snake skins are taken by the "hunters," and when it comes to fighting over the remaining ones, it's just a matter of whether they start fighting.
"Anyone interested in collaborating?" one of the demons, who had a beaver's head, asked.
"You want the snake scales, right? We don't want that stuff. I think we can help each other and benefit each other."
"Anyone interested in partnering with us?"
Soon, the few demons split into several teams.
Some demons do not cooperate with other demons, while others sincerely want to cooperate. Of course, there are also demons with ulterior motives who want to do something under the guise of cooperation.
The four members of the Saintess Squad did not infiltrate the demons, choosing not to cooperate with any of them.
One of their main purposes in coming here was to kill the demon leader, while another was to test the feasibility of following the "hunter".
The best course of action in this battle is to observe first, and then make a move if an opportunity arises.
After the discussion ended, the withered tree spirit spoke again;
"Alright, everyone, until we finish hunting down the Steelix, you will all stay in my vine net."
Maintaining the vine net requires a lot of magic, and if you want to escape, I can't open the Vine King for anyone's sake.
Once you've killed your prey, or escaped within the net before the prey was killed by other teams, there's no turning back, understand?
The demons did not respond, but silently kept these words in their hearts.
Many of the demons had come before, and each "hunter" would seal off the area to prevent their prey from escaping.
after all……
Most of the demons in the rainforest are much more agile than these high-magic-power demons.
If the area isn't sealed off, the prey could easily escape if we're not careful.
[Holy Warrior: If the prey is stronger than all the demons here, then we'll just die inside, won't we?]
Sword Hero: Yes, the purpose of these demons is to exhaust the opponent's stamina; whether they live or die is unimportant to the 'Hunter'.
The moment the withered tree spirit finished speaking, the wooden house that had been enveloping the demons and the four members of the Saintess's team suddenly opened.
A vast expanse of vines swept and coiled outwards, instantly blocking everyone's escape route and creating a giant vine net that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The sound of the vine net continuing to spread outwards could be heard, and at the same time, the demons who had been in the same place just moments before scattered and disappeared in an instant.
Only the four members of the Saintess Squad remained rooted to the spot, like college students looking around blankly during their first job interview.
Lycorina looked around at the spot where the demons had left: "Hmm... what should we do next?"
Also, go find that eight-year-old steel snake?
“Let’s keep going, and if we hear any more noise, we’ll go see what’s going on,” Annie said.
Clearly, the withered tree spirit wouldn't suppress its opponent within a large area; this must be a small hunting ground.
Let the demons who can sense magic do the searching. The [Giant Steel Serpent] is a huge demon with high magic resistance, so a fight with it will definitely be a big one.
Layton scratched his head: "I was wondering if there would be a lot of risk in coming here like this."
But these demons don't seem to care about us at all?
Miluko: "..."
Not attracting attention... attracting the attention of demons is also a good thing...
However, we must remain vigilant! We cannot let our guard down!
……
"Hydesa, the Hero of Air, from the Secret Operations Department of the Hero Alliance, has come to assist the Hero of Agility."
A female warrior, dressed in a white warrior's outfit, with shoulder-length silver hair and eyes that appeared to be about the same age as Felia, spoke solemnly.
"Thank you for getting here so quickly," Felia said, then asked, "How can you help me?"
Felia from the Secret Operations Department also knew about this, because...
She was one of them.
She is usually needed to convey important secrets.
She is also one of the few highly agile warriors who can convey top secrets.
The so-called top secret naturally refers to intelligence that needs to be conveyed by figures of the Pope or the Saintess Squad.
"I can sense the presence of all living beings within a certain range," said Heidesha, the Hero of Air.
Philia: "All living beings...?" (Turns)
"Whether it's a human, an orc, or a demon, I can sense their exact location." Q
It can sense everything from gigantic monsters to insects the size of a finger, even plants.
However, creatures smaller than a fingertip, as tiny as ants, are imperceptible unless I concentrate.
"If you concentrate, you can even sense how many ants are in an anthill," Heidegger explained.
Her abilities are only really effective against small insects; she can't detect microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. (Seven)
Moreover, it also falls outside her area of knowledge.
Felia nodded gently: "Yes, with you here, I can avoid a lot of danger. Please take care of me in the following operations."
This is the hero chosen by the Hero Alliance, the one most suitable to assist her.
If Felia were to charge headlong into the demon realm alone, her agility wouldn't be enough to protect her from unforeseen dangers.
But if you bring along another hero with powerful exploration skills, things will be completely different! Zero
The two met in the town where the Saintess Squad had last appeared, and were about to take action.
Felia picked up the map and carefully examined the demon viscount's domain, which faced off against the human territory. (8)
The closest one, naturally, is [Wuxiang City]. (Ling)
The four members of the Saintess Squad came from there and traveled all the way to human territory to bring back intelligence.
To the left is [Wild Tiger City], and then straight up to the right is an unknown rainforest.
So here's the question: from which side did the Saintess Squad enter [Elephant City], and after returning to human territory, which side did they go?
Or perhaps... they've moved away from the surrounding cities and gone to a more distant place?
All of this can only be concluded after investigation of these three locations.
So first...
