It doesn't matter what the lord is.

At this time, the three people were bending over and tiptoeing behind a series of low bushes. Alaiya raised her hand and stopped Lid and Delis behind her. Lid stopped immediately, and Delis bumped into his back. Before she could scold him, she saw Lid making a gesture to keep quiet. The three people kept this posture for a full half minute, and the antelope-like demon slowly lowered its head and continued to chew the branches and leaves of the bushes.

Only then did Alayya continue to move forward with Reed and Delis.

A dead tree suddenly opened its eyes, slowly twisted, and looked over here.

The three of them hid behind two trees in an instant, with Alayya hiding behind one tree and Reed holding Delis hiding behind another tree. With Delis's untrained body, it was unrealistic to hide before being discovered, so Reed gave her a little help. However, Delis did not appreciate it and struggled recklessly regardless of the situation. Reed held her wrists with one hand and covered her mouth with the other. She twisted in his arms for a long time but could not break free.

The dead tree stared at this side for a long time before closing its eyes and returning to its original appearance.

Reed breathed a sigh of relief. Delis found an opportunity and bit Reed's hand hard, leaving a row of teeth marks clearly visible.

Reed gasped, and managed not to shout out until his face turned red. He continued to follow Alaiya while waving his hands.

The three men continued to move forward. The low bushes had passed them and the trees in front of them seemed a little sparse.

A red-maned bear seemed to have noticed something and began to examine its surroundings, its eyes gradually locked onto a towering tree. It moved its legs and walked towards that tree, its small eyes showing a little doubt and a bit of vigilance.

It slowly moved to the side of the tree, grabbed the edge of the tree with its two claws, and suddenly poked its head out.

——Empty.

It tilted its head, scratched its belly with its paw, and slowly walked back to its original position to continue taking a nap.

At this moment, above the place where the red-maned bear had just looked, Alaya was holding a branch with one hand and holding Lid's collar with the other. Lid held Delis' waist and held her horizontally to his side. Delis covered her mouth tightly with both hands, and only turned her head and glared at Lid angrily after the red-maned bear retreated.

By the time they were about to leave the area where the demons lived in large numbers, Delis was so tired that she collapsed on the ground, stroking her chest to adjust her breathing. Lid and Alaiya were still standing well. Alaiya sensed that there were not many demons around, and they were far away from the area with the most demons, so they could have a good rest.

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods in the distance.

Delis was startled and tried to stand up, but her legs were shaking. When she saw Lid reaching out his hand to her, she immediately grabbed it. After he pulled her up, she took a breath and quickly shook his hand off. Lid didn't mind. Alayya had gone over to check the situation, and Lid also went over to take a look.

Two demons, two [demon wolves], were confronting each other there.

One was a male wolf with fierce eyes.

She has always been a female wolf, protecting a litter of crying wolf cubs behind her.

26. Golden Legend

The eyes of the two demon wolves were full of ferocity.

The male wolf was covered in wounds, with only half of its left fang left, but it was clearly much stronger than the female wolf. The female wolf protected the wolf cub behind her, knowing that she was no match for the male wolf, but she still spread her fur, stared at the male wolf in front of her with her red eyes, and her claws flashed with a sinister cold light.

Alayya glanced at Reed. Reed said nothing and just looked at them silently.

Delis also came up quietly, and half of her head stuck out from Lid's shoulder. Seeing that it was two demon wolves killing each other, she breathed a sigh of relief and stood calmly beside Lid. The two wolves were in a life-and-death situation, and neither of them paid attention to the three humans who were peeking at them.

Delis snorted:

"They don't even spare their fellow countrymen, who they live with day and night. How is that any different from animals? It turns out that all races other than the elves are bad."

The male wolf circled the den several times, his eyes fixed on the wolf cub behind the female wolf, drooling. The female wolf was not to be outdone, no matter how the male wolf circled, she always made sure she could protect the cub behind her, and kept threatening to drive the male wolf away.

Delis suddenly shuddered:

"Is it going to...eat those wolf cubs?"

Lid nodded. This is not uncommon in the demon clan. They kill each other, devour each other, and those who survive continue to become stronger, while those who die become stepping stones. This is the survival rule of the demon clan. They directly link the level with the strength, obey the strong, and bully the weak. The upper demons can freely command the lower demons and easily raise an army. The demons with less strength are always thinking about killing each other. Therefore, the demons have been fighting each other for thousands of years, and the internal struggles are extremely serious. Instead of gathering strength to expand.

The male wolf wants to eat the cubs born by the female wolf because he can see that the female wolf was stronger than himself before she gave birth to her cubs, so her children have better blood and talents than himself. Eating those hungry cubs is a way for him to quickly improve his strength.

Now that the mother wolf is weak after giving birth, it is the best time to attack.

It was a very patient demon wolf, circling nearby. It was determined that the mother wolf would not dare to leave the cub alone and attack, so it had the initiative. There was no such thing as a thief who could not be on guard against thieves a thousand miles away. The moment the mother wolf showed a slight flaw, it immediately pounced on it and stabbed its intact canine teeth into the mother wolf's neck.

The female wolf felt pain but did not give up. She shook her fur violently like a dog that had just come out of the water, and threw the male wolf to the ground. Then she suddenly swung her sharp claws down, leaving new scars on the male wolf's scarred body.

What follows is simply a fight between wild beasts.

There was no frills, no unnecessary movements, the only thing was to kill the other person.

It was the first time that Delis saw such a primitive and wild battle, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. This was too different from the atmosphere of their elves. Not to mention those black-skinned elves who were born for fighting, the entire elf tribe, both men and women, had a weak feeling. Of course, they also looked down on those creatures with strong limbs and simple minds. Whether it was the demons, dragons or orcs, they were all at the bottom of their contempt chain.

By the way, humans are not qualified to be on their contempt chain.

The female wolf was trapped and still fighting, unwilling to give up the wolf cub behind her. She was wounded and bleeding but still refused to fall down. She stood there with all her strength, and the mane on her neck had long been stained with blood. The male wolf's injuries were not as serious, but they were not light either. He kept digging the ground with his claws and making a low growl in his throat.

At the end of the fight, both demon wolves were very weak. The female wolf found an opportunity and took advantage of the male wolf's claws to scratch her chest, leaving her wide open, to bite the male wolf's neck. This bite should have hit the aorta. The male wolf growled and rolled on the ground like crazy, but the female wolf didn't let go until she died.

The wolf cub whimpered, not knowing what was happening. It might be calling for its mother, or it might just be because it was hungry.

The male wolf got up in a very embarrassed manner and staggered towards the litter of wolf cubs.

It had prevailed in this life-threatening battle and deserved the reward.

Looking at the litter of wolf cubs, it opened its bloody mouth and bit down slowly. It could hear the wolf cubs howling in pain, the crackling sound of their bones being squeezed, and could feel traces of pure magic flowing into its body.

But it cannot save its life which is like a candle in the wind.

The female wolf's last bite hit his lifeblood, which could not be compensated by eating some of his own kind. The male wolf could only feel as if his strength was being drained away, and his upper and lower jaws could not close completely, and his body had already collapsed in front of the wolf den.

The thing it had tried so hard to get was right in front of it, but it no longer had the life to enjoy it. It could only stare at the increasingly blurry world and closed its eyes with hatred.

Delis sighed, feeling inexplicably melancholy.

She knew that this was the law of survival for barbaric races, but knowing it was one thing, and seeing it with her own eyes was another.

After thinking for a while, Delis suddenly waded through the bushes and walked towards where the two magic wolves fell.

Seeing that there were no other demons around, Reed and Alayya did not stop her and followed her.

It is said that the demons are cold-blooded, but the hearts of mothers all over the world who protect their children are the same. Delis may have thought of something, and stood beside the mother wolf for a long time, with a trace of pity in her eyes. Then she ran to the male wolf and kicked it hard. This kick made the male wolf's already limp body fall to the side, and the little wolf cub in its mouth fell out. Suddenly, a little wolf cub covered in blood opened its mouth and cried.

Delis shuddered and said loudly to Lid:

“It’s still alive!!”

Lid didn't comment. Delis squatted down and looked at the cute little wolf cub in her hands. For a moment, she forgot that this was also the dirty and lowly demon in her mouth. No matter what, the new life is always innocent, right? Delis held the little wolf cub that the mother wolf had risked her life to save in her hands, and her eyes softened slightly.

Lid didn't say anything because he could see that the wolf cub had its belly pierced by the male wolf and would not live long. It was alive at one moment but could be dead the next.

Delis knew it too.

But the next moment, Delis suddenly muttered:

"I want you to live well."

Before Reed could react, a faint golden light suddenly appeared on Delis's body, and the light spread to the wolf cub's body, and its wounds began to heal incredibly slowly.

At that moment, Lid suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard before about the [Saintess of Nanchu], and couldn't help but shout:

"Holy shit, golden legend!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted to Delis:

"No! Stop now!"

Delis turned around, not understanding what Reed was saying and dissatisfied with his attitude, so she took no action for a while.

The next moment, the wolf cub in her hand suddenly opened its eyes and bit Delis's almost perfect hands fiercely.

At the same time, the sky darkened, the earth trembled, and the peaceful forest suddenly became full of danger.

27.Repaying Evil with Kindness, Delis

It is a well-known fact that wealth should not be shown off.

Just like Alayya had to suppress her sword energy so that she could sneak through the demon territory with Lid and Delis. For the demons, eating strong people or beings of similar level is a fast way to become stronger. Especially for those who have precious power in a certain aspect, they are their best hunting targets.

But Delis didn't seem to understand this.

The moment the pale golden light came on, Reed seemed to see her rushing into the bandits' den alone, taking out a bag of gold coins harmlessly, and scratching her head, sighing, "I'm so worried! How can I spend so much money?" She was really going to die by using the 800-mile express delivery service.

Reed didn't know where Delis got this power similar to that of the saint, but he was very clear that this power had attracted the covetousness of the demons.

And it is coveted by the vast majority of demons in this land!

Delis was still holding her hand that was bitten by the wolf cub, shaking it back and forth, trying to get rid of it. But the wolf cub bit very hard, greedily sucking the energy that could heal the wound. Delis was in tears and kept yelling:

"Let go, let go! You have no conscience! If I had known, I would not have saved you. Let go now!"

The little wolf didn't care at all. The satisfied smile on his face revealed a hint of cruelty no matter how you looked at it.

Alayya came close to Reed and said:

"Master, all the demons within a radius of dozens of miles are coming this way, and there are some that I can't deal with... but they are still far away."

Lid asked:

"Is he the leader of the demon army?"

Alayya shook her head, pointed at Delis and said:

"It should be the demons who escorted her at that time."

Lid frowned. The demons who were responsible for escorting Delis were indeed very strong, to the point where Alaya could not deal with them. Fortunately, those demons had been coveting Delis for a long time, but for some reason they had never dared to take action. When they saw Alaya, their blood rushed to their heads, their brains were not supplied with enough blood, and their IQ dropped seriously. They lost Delis and went after Alaya, but were deceived by the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, and Lid, who was hiding in the dark, rescued Delis.

These demons were also the ones that Lid and Alayya had been carefully guarding against when they were escaping. With them around, Lid and Alayya didn't dare to stay in one place for too long. They had to hide and run for a few days after each fight, which made the demons lose their way.

Unexpectedly, Delis was like firing a flare into the sky, attracting all those tough opponents.

Thinking of this, Reed's eyes twitched. He took two steps forward and raised his hand to knock the little wolf cub out of Delis's hand.

The slap was fast and accurate, shattering its skull directly. The wolf cub loosened its mouth and fell to the ground with a thud. Alayya and Delis thought that the wolf cub was already seriously injured, and did not think much about it.

Lid asked Alayya:

"Which side is safe?"

Alayya said quickly:

"We have passed the area with the highest concentration of demons and are staying in the northwest corner of this area. Now all the demons are coming to surround us. It is relatively safe to continue to move to the northwest."

"Then continue to head northwest!"

As Reed finished speaking, a ball of fire exploded on a dead tree not far away.

The hot wind made Delis's golden hair flutter. She opened her beautiful eyes wide, stunned by the sudden change. The sound and heat waves instantly took away her hearing and vision. Delis felt black in front of her eyes, and then someone grabbed her wrist and dragged her body to run.

Several ferocious-looking monkeys with flames hanging from their tails were climbing and jumping among the branches.

The wild boar, covered in thorns, bent its fangs like boomerangs and knocked down all the trees in front of it with ease.

Among them were familiar faces to Lid, whether it was a magic wolf, a tree monster, a forest bee, a spotted leopard, or a bush deer. Running in front not only faced the huge psychological pressure of being caught up at any time, but also had to rely on dynamic vision to desperately avoid the dense trees in front of them. These were all fine, but the problem was the magic bombarding from behind, covering the sky and the sun, like a rain of arrows, and no one in the group could raise their heads to see, so they could only rely on perception to avoid.

Alayya was worried about her young master, so she had to stop and swing her sword from time to time, using the sword energy to deflect the magic that was coming down on her.

Lid just ran away. This made Delis miserable. After she regained her vision, she could clearly see the group of demons chasing after her. But now she had no choice. Lid ran very fast, and Delis was completely floating in the air, with both feet not touching the ground.

Several demon wolves were running in front and almost bit her feet several times. The sound of their teeth colliding was clear to her ears, and their saliva splashed on her well-proportioned calves exposed, scaring Delis so much that she kicked her feet wildly.

She had reason to believe that if Lid hadn't just sped up, half of her calf would have been swallowed by the demon wolf. The frightened Delis screamed all the way. Not only were the demons getting closer and closer, but she could also see the magic in the sky, exploding around her one after another. Many parts of her clothes and hair were burnt. She experienced the feeling of magic explosion more deeply than anyone else. At this moment, she only hated that she was not a dragon. She flapped her wings and flew away directly, flying to a place where magic could not reach.

By the way, dragon scales are naturally resistant to magic.

But Delis had nothing. In this wave of demons that changed the world, she was weak, pitiful and helpless.

But he shouted very loudly.

The broken cry did not arouse the demon's sympathy at all, but made the demon even more excited. An idea flickered in the demon's mind and gradually took over:

——I’m so excited!!

Lid couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he pulled the crying Delis in front of him and carried her like a princess. Delis stopped crying and stared at him blankly, not knowing whether to push him away. Lid also looked down at her, and the two looked at each other for two seconds, with some other emotions in their eyes.

For Delis, it was the first time she was held in this way, especially by a human being, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

As for Lid, he took a deep look at Delis, and suddenly threw her to Alaiya without mercy. After throwing her out, he shouted:

"Catch it!"

Fortunately, Alayya reacted quickly. She turned around and hugged Delis. At the same time, the sword energy surged, and [Scarlet Fire] came out of the sheath, instantly killing the group of fearless demons in front.

Lid shook his arms and cursed:

"Who can carry this? It's too heavy! Alaiya, you take her first."

Alayya nodded.

Delis turned her head away and looked at Lid angrily. She was so angry that she was not so afraid anymore. She even cursed back mercilessly:

"I am sinking? How am I sinking? When I get back, I will have you hug me for the whole day. If you dare to say sinking again, I will tear your mouth apart!"
