Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

However, this man, whom even the spearman respected, took out his harp and played a little tune leisurely without paying attention to the people around him.

"Hey, hey... What kind of weird fighting style is this?! Your friends are fighting hard up there, and you're playing the piano here? If you want to celebrate, at least wait until you win, right?!"

The elf hurried forward to stop him from slacking off. If it weren't for the fact that Wendy's partner, the "priest" who had saved their lives before, didn't seem to blame her, she would never have tolerated this with her personality.

However, to her surprise, the young bard did not stop playing, but just whispered: "Don't be anxious, both of you. Listen carefully to the sounds around you——"

The elf with the best hearing was the first to notice something was wrong. The forest was very noisy before, at least it was not quiet at all, but now it was completely different.

Quiet, serene——

The only sound was the rustling of leaves as the wind blew through the forest, and hidden within that was a very low, subtle sound, like the sound of internal organs sliding across the ground.

"Is this the Demon General?!"

While the little priest was still confused, the elf had already looked in the direction of the sound.

Just over there at the other exit, a starfish monster made up of many overlapping tentacles was slowly moving towards this side.

There was a huge single eye on that smelly body, which was staring at everyone present with an evil look.

More importantly, as it moved, more and more small starfish monsters slid off its body and bounced towards it.

"Chirp——"

The small creatures that were attacked by the starfish were quickly corroded, and they kept returning to the main body, making it even bigger.

Such evil and strange abilities could only be possessed by Demon Generals below the Demon King. What kind of ruins had they entered that they encountered such a monster?!

Before the elf could resist the urge to flee, she trembled and asked, "Do you have any way to deal with it? If we leave it alone, the surrounding villages that haven't been evacuated will be eaten by it!"

"Don't worry, we are professionals when it comes to dealing with monsters."

Wendy said soothingly.

Although he had anticipated this kind of "landing rack" situation, he did not expect to encounter a monster that even the locals found difficult to deal with so soon.

However, in terms of how troublesome it is for everyone, apart from cleaning up those small starfish monsters, which may be a little more difficult to deal with, there is a big troll, which has actually been suppressed by Dan Heng and Xing at this moment.

Every attack of Jiyun could leave deep scars on the troll's body, and the green light remaining on the wounds prevented the troll's super self-healing from taking effect.

The troll's counterattack was intercepted by Xing on the other side. Although she didn't look like a muscular and heavily armored warrior, she was able to fight against the troll with just that bare iron rod and even deflect the weapon away.

The troll was horrified by what he saw. His knuckles were broken several times due to the recoil force, but the little human girl was still fine.

Not only that, as the battle intensified, he clearly felt that the speed of the two seemed to be getting faster and faster. He could clearly react to the attacks before, but now, the wounds appeared almost as soon as he saw them.

In the moment he lost his focus, a bloody hole was stabbed in his abdomen.

The troll subconsciously wanted to protect his intestines from leaking out, but his movements were extremely slow, and it was not until this moment that he reacted.

"It's not them who are getting faster, it's me who is getting slower—?!"

Compared to his previous terrifying speed that allowed him to throw a hundred punches in a breath, his punching speed now was as slow as an old goat, even trembling when chewing grass.

When the troll couldn't help but roar in shock, a bloody wind blew over him. While pretending to fight for his life, he had actually already prepared to turn around and flee.

"If you keep fighting, you'll die..."

Just as the troll had this thought, a cold voice came from behind him.

"Life and death are virtual and real, just in one thought."

With Dan Heng's step as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, the extreme stillness turned into extreme movement, and a blue-black cyclone swept out!

"The cave is transformed, and the long dream is broken!"

In just a blink of an eye, the troll felt his chest become empty, and Dan Heng, who was supposed to be behind him, appeared ten steps in front of him without him knowing when.

The blow was crisp and sharp, like a streaking bolt of lightning, which disappeared in a flash. The troll's proud body couldn't even hold out for a second. The muscles that were strong enough to withstand the blows of sticks and the bones that were hacked by swords were all pierced through.

As time resumed its flow, his body seemed to realize that it had been injured, and blood spurted out from the gaping hole in his chest like a high-pressure water gun. Dan Heng simply turned around indifferently and played with his gun lightly. The blood that dyed the tip of the gun red was expelled by the invisible wind barrier.

The troll's body subconsciously took two steps forward before he knelt on his knees and fell heavily. His pupils, which had lost their former brutality, gradually widened.

“We won the fight…?!”

When the young priest subconsciously exclaimed, the elf girl on the other side did not show much joy. It would have been fine if there was only one troll chasing them, but no matter how difficult the troll was, it could not be more terrifying than the demon general who had the power to "destroy the city" alone.

if--

When she looked away and saw that scene, she swallowed back all the words she wanted to say.

The demon general, who had no desire to resist at all at the sight of him, was now surrounded by a gust of wind. The gentle breeze that had previously blown even his hair was now like the sharpest invisible blade in the world, constantly cutting his body into smaller pieces until it was cut into thin slices that were barely visible to the naked eye.

It was as if the monsters were "purified" from the world.

"One, one move?!"

At this moment, the elf girl felt that her previous worldview had completely collapsed.

Especially since she had spoken rudely to such a strong man before, she already felt a warm feeling in her lower abdomen.

Chapter 119 Adventurer Team

After dealing with the two pursuing monsters, the pioneers also healed the injured lizardman priest.

He was now covered in bandages, but after the young priest cast the miracle of healing on him twice and he took a strange homemade ointment, he had regained the ability to move.

He was sitting on the grass at that moment, thanking him in a hoarse voice.

"I am Zariyus... a rogue priest. My clan name has been stripped, and I'm a former Silver-class adventurer. I'm deeply grateful for your assistance, for otherwise our group would have perished here..."

His companion, the elf girl, took the time to change her underwear and sort out her emotions, then came back and said solemnly.

"I'm Mimiya, a Mori archer and adventurer of the Bronze Tribe. I will always remember your kindness. If you need anything in the future, please let me know."

Most of the Sen people are aloof and proud. They will never show weakness to other races, and they hate being their slaves.

The fact that Mimiya could say such words now was obviously because the scene of the demon being tortured to death was too shocking, which made her lower her attitude to the lowest level.

The young priest on the other side tightly grasped a staff taller than she was, her face flushed with excitement as she said adoringly, "I'm Fina, a newly promoted priest and a Jade-rank adventurer. I'm so grateful for the Bishop's help this time!"

As she spoke, she kept bowing and thanking March Seven, using various honorifics. However, March Seven, whom she called the Bishop, took two steps back, not having received such a courtesy before.

"Ah... I'm not an archbishop, and I don't believe in it normally... Well, I only believe in it a little when something happens."

March 7th waved his hands and said something that would easily lead to him being put to the stake by the fanatics of this world.

"Huh!? How could someone other than the Bishop possibly be able to use such a powerful Earth Mother Goddess miracle?"

Fina opened her mouth in surprise, as if she had not expected this situation at all.

"Well..." Although Sanyueqi likes this kind of role-playing, before he has a deep understanding of the world setting, making up stories will only reveal more.

As San Yueqi struggled with how to explain, Zariyus, the leader of the group, spoke up for her, saying, "Ahem. Fina, the adults must have a deep purpose for this trip. We've been so kind to you, how can we embarrass them?"

"Ahaha... That's not the case. We didn't really think too much about it. We just saw someone in need, so we acted subconsciously."

San Yue Qi smiled innocently, and this was obviously consistent with what the little priest had learned about the dogma of the Earth Mother. She automatically imagined it and was now more convinced that the bishop must have some unspeakable secrets and that was why he did not tell the truth.

However, which branch bishop is this from? He is so young and so cute...

Fina became more concerned, especially because the warm feeling that the other party kept giving her, like the warm feeling of the Earth Mother, made her extremely addicted.

In the end, he showed no mercy and rubbed against the person like a small domestic dog.

Fortunately, March Seventh didn't care about these small details. Instead, he rubbed her head generously, which moved the little priest very much.

Fina was really touched by the bishop who had such powerful strength and was so approachable!

In comparison, the elf girl Mimiya is closer to Wendy and Danheng, but the cold-faced Danheng makes her really unsure how to approach him.

Although this situation often occurs among her fellow tribesmen and she is no longer surprised by it, if she wants to build closer relationships, it is obviously better to find Wendy, who has a friendly smile and makes people feel friendly.

She approached Wendy with respect, only to find that he was caressing the harp in his hand, and he was so gentle as if he was treating his lover.

The slender fingertips and the light tuning made Mimiya a little obsessed without her realizing it.

The forest people also love musical instruments and are also close to the morning breeze. To become an archer, one also needs to understand the wind direction. The strength shown by the bard before is enough to win her recognition.

"Hmm? Do you care about my partner?"

Wendy noticed her gaze and smiled softly.

"Hmm... I can tell from the state of the tuning that you must have taken good care of it."

Mimiya was a little embarrassed, but nodded anyway. She actually had a different opinion about this kind of "pretty boy" character that she had seen many times in the tavern before.

No, that's not right. How could those who like to use sweet words to deceive others out of their money compare to this gentleman?

"Then do you want to touch it? After all, you have a pair of hands that are good at playing. I'm sure you can communicate with it."

Of course, Wendy could see that the elf girl who called herself Mimiya had calluses of varying depths on her knuckles, in addition to the calluses from pulling the bowstrings. This was the "proof" left behind after learning to play a musical instrument.

"Ah, okay..."

When Mimiya touched the harp, a peaceful breeze passed through her fingertips, and the sound of the harp was clear and beautiful.

It was difficult for her to describe this feeling. It was as if she had transformed herself into the most carefree wind, traveling in this world.

However, just as her thoughts were drifting away, almost losing control and drifting to a more distant place, a soft voice woke her up.

"It's time to wake up—"

She suddenly came back to her senses, with a hint of fear in her eyes. She almost forgot her identity as a "forest person" and became a wisp of soft wind among the millions of gentle breezes.

I felt ashamed of my own instability, and at a loss as to how to accept help from others again. In the end, even my voice of thanks was as thin as a mosquito's.

However, in comparison, Wendy didn't care that little episode so much and just said it jokingly.

"How is it? This experience should be quite novel, right?"

"Hmm... indeed. I'll probably never forget it in my lifetime..."

Mimiya covered her head and then spoke with some fear.

"Ah, I don't mean to blame you--"

"Just call me Wendy. My companions are: the cute pink-haired one is Sanyueqi, the dashing gray-haired one is Xing, and the cool, stern-faced guy is Danheng. We heard about the disaster that befell this continent, so we came from another world to provide support."

As everyone looked at her with attention, Wendy spoke very naturally, "So, we don't know much about some things here. Can I ask you a few questions later?"

"No problem. Wendy... ahem, if there's anything you're not sure about, feel free to ask us. We'll be happy to tell you everything we know."

The first one to react was Zarius, and he did not respond to Wendy's seemingly flawed excuse. Now, people on this continent also know that in addition to this world, there are four other worlds. Now that the disaster has befallen them, the power of the Demon King has expanded unprecedentedly.

It is not unacceptable that strong people from other continents would set foot on this land to investigate.

So, I started with the simplest question and fell into memories.

"—A few days ago, a seed of disaster fell from the sky. Its arrival caused many monsters on the continent to become significantly stronger overnight. Some people who managed to escape also witnessed that any monster that came into contact with the seed of disaster was greatly strengthened.

On the same day, the archbishops of each temple received oracles from the gods, requiring all races to establish a joint defense line to fight against the massive army of monsters.

At first, no one realized the seriousness of this oracle. After all, in the past, a brave man would appear and defeat the revived Demon King. However, since the death of the last brave man, no one has appeared to inherit the title of brave man.

Some border towns were decimated by the monster hordes before they could even mount an effective resistance. Our area of ​​activity is shrinking, and the kingdom's troops are constantly being sent to the front lines to fend off the monster hordes."

Use your claws to simply draw a map of the current distribution of frontline towns on the ground, and draw sword marks on most of them.

"However, there are too many places under attack, and even the kingdom is overwhelmed. We don't know where those monsters came from. It's as if there is a portal connecting to the devil's cave, constantly transporting them to various parts of the kingdom.

In order to explore the possibility of the existence of such a monster lair, the kingdom has assigned many missions to adventurers, requiring them to explore the ruins, old lairs, and the distribution of monsters in various areas.

Our team was also put together temporarily under such circumstances. Before we met you, we had a dwarf teammate, but unfortunately... he was unlucky and didn't escape."

When talking about this companion, the lizard man's face showed a hint of sadness.

"We had come here to scout the area beforehand, and according to our companion, there were no signs of monster activity inside. However, as we went deeper, we encountered the two monsters you had killed earlier. It was like those monster armies that appeared out of thin air. Their appearance was also beyond our expectations.

If we hadn't met you gentlemen, after our deaths, I'm afraid the nearest border town would have been in danger of destruction, and the United Front would have lost a key stronghold."

"I see……"

Wendy thought for a moment and then asked again.

"So, you should be planning to return to town to complete the mission now, right?"

"Ah, that's right." Zariyus was stunned for a moment, then asked with a hint of excitement, "Excuse me, are you and the others in your team planning to return with us?"

"Hmm. Don't you think it's fate that we can meet each other in a place like this?"

Wendy looked back at her three silent companions. They seemed a little surprised by Wendy's initiative, and even Danheng showed a hint of surprise.
