I enlightened the heroine of the second dimension in New Tokyo

"So we are not going to fight now, but to scout first?"

"That's it."

Zhao Yang nodded.

Lem asked, "What if we finish our reconnaissance, but someone else takes over the mission first?"

"Then we can only give up. In order to prevent disputes, all organizations will make decisions in favor of the person who accepts the task first. It will be useless even if we kill the demon first.

Not conducting reconnaissance before accepting a mission can certainly give you a head start, but it also increases the risk of mission failure. Not only will the mission fail, but you may also lose your life. "

Zhao Yang said: "So the risk here is something the firm has to weigh on its own. Should it pursue efficiency or be more cautious?

We are still relatively weak, so let's scout first, there is no need to take risks."

"oh, I understand now."

Zhao Yang was not worried about someone else snatching his mission away.

...At worst, I can change to something else. This place is so big, why bother with just one task?

After walking for a while, he and Rem stood on the Dangbie Dam again and saw the vast artificial lake.

Together they hid their breath and dived into the water.

Hiding your aura isn't magic, it's a warrior's skill.

It is not difficult. It is just to collect most of the magic power into the magic core, and then cover the whole body with extremely light magic power to prevent the body from leaking breath.

In this way, as long as you don't fight and don't get close to the monsters, you won't be discovered.

...Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are particularly sensitive demons.

But there is no need to panic if you are discovered. As long as you run fast enough, there is still a great chance that you can escape before the demon barrier is deployed.

They know flying magic, so it's easy for them to escape.

Dangbie Lake is more than fifty meters deep, which is nothing for Zhao Yang and Rem who are used to practicing in the sea.

They moved very flexibly in the water and carefully explored the lake.

The terrain of Dangbie Lake is long from north to south and narrow from east to west.

On the left side of the lake is Hokkaido Route 28, which extends from the Tobetsu River below.

After Line 28 goes along the left side of the lake to the middle, it will cross the lake to the right side and continue going up to connect to Qingshan Dam.

The section of Line 28 that runs across the east and west sides has another name, called Wangxiang Bridge.

After exploring for a while, Zhao Yang and Rem quickly found the target.

They hid aside at this time, looking at the bridge with bated breath.

———The center of the bridge was tightly wrapped by a black tentacle.

The thick tentacles wrapped around the Wangxiang Bridge several times and extended into the lake. From the surface of the lake, one could see a huge shadow lurking motionlessly in the water.

Zhao Yang and his companion carefully went into the water and looked over there, and they felt their eyes were stinging.

Under the water, there was a huge black ball with four tentacles lying quietly, while the other three tentacles were constantly floating up and down in the water.

If you look closely, you can see that its body is covered with granulation tissue, which moves with the flow of water.

Zhao Yang pulled Rem into the water and hid in the woods nearby.

"Okay, okay, this is disgusting!"

Rem was so disgusted that goose bumps appeared all over her body and she began to shiver with physical discomfort.

"…So the Demon Countermeasures Bureau's intelligence calls this a fish demon?"

Well, although he also knew that all monsters swimming in the water belonged to the category of fish monsters.

But it just feels so awkward that I have to complain about it.

Zhao Yang and Rem hid in the grove, looking at the tentacles entangled in the Wangxiang Bridge.

This tentacle was thicker than both of them combined.

"From the feeling, it is indeed E-level. What level do you think it is?"

"At least there is an E-level mid-level, right?"

Rem said.

As for monsters, the strong ones are not necessarily big in size, but the big ones are definitely not weak.

This huge monster with only four tentacles looks like it's not easy to deal with.

"Senior, what should we do now? Should we go fight?"

Zhao Yang thought for a while and said, "Rem, you should be about to break through, right?"

"Yes."

She nodded.

For geniuses, DEF level 3 is always something they can pass quickly, and they often get stuck when upgrading to level C.

Because upgrading to C level requires special insights and a preliminary understanding of "momentum" or "field".

"I've reached a bottleneck, too. As long as you upgrade, I can upgrade too."

Zhao Yang said:

"In that case, for the sake of safety, we will not fight this demon yet. Let's go hunt other demons first, and challenge them again after we level up."

Hunting demons is risky, so be careful.

Let's stabilize it for now.

Rem thought it made sense: "Senior is really smart!"

Zhao Yang pulled Rem deep into the woods. After making sure it was safe, he took out his cell phone to study the map.

Looking at the map, Tsukigata Town is to the right of Tobetsu Dam, and going that way will lead you out of the mountains and back to the plains.

111 Snake Demon

Going east is flat land, and going west is Ishikari City by the sea.

To the north is Qingshan Dam, and further north is Defu Dam.

In general, the terrain becomes higher the further north you go.

The more difficult the terrain, the less people there are, so the higher the chance of powerful monsters existing there.

Zhao Yang said, "Going east is farmland, and there are basically no monsters. Going north is obviously very dangerous, so let's go west."

Rem nodded and suggested, "There happens to be a Wanglai Dam in the west. Intelligence says there are F-class snake demons there. How about we make that our target?"

"Alright."

Wanglai Dam is much smaller than Dangbie Dam. The latter has a drainage area of ​​231.1 square kilometers, while the former only has 20.5 square kilometers.

After agreeing on the destination, they set off immediately.

But they did not walk in a straight line. Instead, they looked for the monster everywhere as they walked.

…The left side of Dangbie Dam is all woods and mountains.

These adapted trees grew taller and larger without losing all their leaves.

The light black leaves blocked the sunlight, and it felt a little dim when walking among them.

If the demons lurking in such sparsely populated places are not eliminated for a long time, the demon world might come here.

Therefore, if the cleanup task in a certain place has not been completed for a long time, various organizations will issue joint tasks, and if necessary, they will directly invite high-level extraordinary people to take action.

Zhao Yang and his companion slowly explored their way forward in the woods.

The environment here is hidden and they won't be seen even if they fly close to the ground, so they can walk more relaxedly.

After searching in the forest for a while, Zhao Yang sensed a faint scent of demonic magic. He and Rem looked at each other and followed the scent.

After a while, I saw an F-class demon dressed in black and holding a sword wandering in the forest.

To be honest, this scene is a bit like a horror movie, and ordinary people would definitely be scared if they saw it.

"Rem, you go ahead and do it. Well, don't kill him, leave his head for me."

Zhao Yang spoke to Rem through telepathy.

"Ok."

Rem knew that he needed to restore his energy, so he naturally agreed.

Facing this F-level demon, she dealt with it very easily. She smashed its lower body with a meteor hammer and then dragged it over.

Zhao Yang killed it with one sword.

But the demon's aura had not yet dissipated and was coming from other directions.

"It seems there are quite a few demons here."

"Yes, I sensed it too."

Zhao Yang and Rem looked at each other and came to the same conclusion.

Demons are the most likely evil spirits to invade the Earth after human demons.

But demons are not as numerous as human demons, and they usually do not appear in groups. They are separated by a certain distance.

This makes things convenient for Zhao Yang and others.

They searched in the forest and killed three more demons, and then they no longer smelled the demon's magical aura.

But when they thought about the possibility of existence like Shadow Fiend that could hide its aura, they did not relax too much.

After collecting the weapons dropped by the demon, Zhao Yang took Rem and walked carefully towards Wanglai Dam.

Wanglai Dam Lake is in the shape of an E, with three small rivers extending from the end of the E and flowing into the distance.

Zhao Yang didn't know how many branches he pushed aside before he finally reached the water's edge.

"Hiss——"

As soon as he came out of the woods, he saw a dark shadow rushing towards him.

Zhao Yang did not respond but stepped back, and Rem also tacitly dodged to the other side.

After the two men dispersed, they saw a snake-like demon that was more than two meters long and had an eye on the tip of its tail, lying on the ground.

The eyes on its tail were very cold. When those eyes looked at Zhao Yang, he felt that the protective suit automatically triggered the protective effect.

"Ok?"

He looked at his feet and saw a layer of frost on the ground.

Freeze magic?

...This F-rank demon is a bit sinister.

Zhao Yang thought so, then reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword. A white arc of electricity flashed across his feet, and his figure disappeared on the spot.

Thunder!

With a flash of sword light, the snake demon was cut into two pieces.

"Intermediate F-rank, not strong."

Zhao Yang appeared behind the snake demon, with his sword still in the sheath, as if it had never been pulled out.

"This demon should be good at speed and ice magic."

Rem commented.

"Yeah. I just don't know if it's a lot."

Zhao Yang squatted on the ground, picked up a branch and picked up the demon's corpse to study it, and said:

"I seem to have seen this kind of snake in a book. It's called the Frozen Snake Eye Demon. I remember it should be poisonous, although not very poisonous.

This kind of demon is not strong, but likes to appear in groups, that's about it."

In addition to their species, demons also have scientific names.
