What catches your eye is a barren plain as far as the eye can see, with a few bald mountains and dry ridges, scattered white bone remains, and in the dry land, only a few thorny plants grow stubbornly, and the occasional dead vine and old tree also show lifelessness in most seasons.

This is the southeastern part of the human continent, a wilderness that is not suitable for human habitation because of the harsh climate. The owners who live here are some beasts, monsters or sub-human races represented by jackals and vultures, which mainly feed on various animal foods, not only can prey on small beasts such as rats and rabbits, but also dare to attack larger animals, and even human convoys that come and go here. It's a world that follows the eating and being eaten, killing and being killed.

At this time, a luxurious magic carriage that does not fit in with the scenery is speeding here. The two white horses pulling the cart looked much stronger than the average adult horse, their eyes and four hooves glowing with a faint blue glow. The bright red hue of the carriage shines brighter and brighter in the surrounding earthy yellow world. In front of the carriage sat two childish girls, about fourteen or fifteen years old, driving the carriage boredly, looking at the unchanged surroundings from time to time.

"Ah...... It's boring, I said, Conya, we've been walking for days, how long will it take to get there...... What kingdom? Sitting on the right side of the driver's seat at the front of the carriage was a young girl with a brown double ponytail, wearing a bright yellow coat, a pair of pitch-black trousers, dark gray boots, and a pair of clear orange-yellow eyes.

Sitting next to her was a fairer-skinned girl with shoulder-length silver hair, a violet coat, and a milky knee-length skirt. In other words, Li Yaqi, we were ordered by the great Lord Sheen to make a special trip to the Adventurer Kingdom, and from there we began to collect information on the human world. You're so sloppy, be careful that I relay what you just said to Lord Shanna in the back. After saying that, the silver-haired girl turned her head and glanced at the carriage behind her, and a slight naughty smile appeared in her pale pink pupils.

"Only, no! When I received the order from the great Lord Sheehan to come out of Harmonia Castle with Lord Shanna and collect information about the outside world, I was so excited that I didn't sleep well all night! Aren't you just as excited to be able to carry out such an important mission for Lord Sheehan, who made us, and to be able to take this opportunity to learn more about the outside world?! It's just that the journey has been really boring these days......" The girl shook her head and continued, "As you can see, the soil here sometimes doesn't even grow weeds, and there are bare dirt hills, and there is not even a decent tree on it, so it's a place where there are no people. I've been watching these monotonous landscapes for the past few days, and it's really boring, don't you say? Well? Konya? ”

"Bear with me for a few more days, when we get to a prosperous place, there should be a lot of interesting things waiting for us. Besides, you can take advantage of the time when you are okay now, reflect on your own shortcomings, and improve your professional skills as a half-hunter. Konya said expressionlessly, coldly and calmly.

"Half-half-hanged hunter?"

"Of course. Likes melee attacks, doesn't bring combat pets, has loose marksmanship, has a big spirit, and does things recklessly, isn't this a fake hunter? Konya replied calmly but sarcastically.

"Not really! Moreover, Conya is, as a warlock, she always doesn't summon demons to fight, and she is a pseudo-warlock every time! Li Yaqi blushed and shouted to Konya.

"Huh? I'm not a pseudo-warlock, I think that opponents like miscellaneous fish don't need me to waste precious mana to summon demons or anything, and I can handle it by myself. ”

"Me, me too! An opponent like a trash fish, there is no need to summon my beloved baby at all, I will ...... myself Well? Li Yaqi suddenly stopped arguing with Konya and stared at the direction of the carriage with a serious face.

"What's wrong?" Conya looked at Li Yaqi, who suddenly became alert, and asked. She knew that hunters had a wider range of vigilance than they could do, and could even track the whereabouts of multiple lifeforms in a large area.

At this time, Li Yaqi was engrossed in staring at the end of the road, was she listening to the completely non-existent sound, or was she perceiving the existence outside the field of vision? "It's strange that in this barren mountain range, there seem to be seventeen or eight creatures gathered in the middle of the road ahead......" Li Yaqi muttered to herself, "It should be, human ...... And, horses, bar......"

As the carriage continued, a group of figures could be seen in the direction of the road extension. About thirteen or fourteen men and a few horses were gathered in the middle of the road, as if waiting for a distant guest.

Konya stopped the carriage about ten meters away from the crowd. Take a closer look at these people.

The group looked to be men in their twenties and thirties, tall and short, fat and thin, and most of them were dressed in shabby armor, some of which were so worn that it was not an exaggeration to describe them as riddled with holes. Some of them held broken and rusty weapons in their hands, some pulled horses, and some simply sat in the middle of the road, giving people a very casual and lazy feeling. It is particularly worth mentioning that each of them has a smile on their faces, which makes others very uncomfortable. They don't seem to be a friendly bunch of people if they're just judged by their appearance.

As Conya looked them up and down, one of them, a slightly burly middle-aged man, stepped forward and stepped out of the crowd. Konya guessed he might be the leader of the group. The middle-aged man was wearing a dark gray armor on his upper body, a white armband with a red wolf's head tattooed around his left arm, and his right hand was on the machete at his waist.

"Two lovely little girls, please allow me to introduce myself first." The man spoke, "I'm the eldest brother of these people, a nameless traveler. We came from far west, and one of my brothers seemed to be seriously ill when we came here, could you please come and help him take a look? The man said as he pointed to a man in the crowd who was now slumped on the ground and moaning quietly.

"Oh? What disease did he have? I'm not a doctor, but I can still find a way to help him get out. Conya, who had long seen through this trick, replied mockingly.

"That's great." The man pretended to be happy and continued, "It seems that he has a disease that wants to die without money, I wonder if you can cure him?" With that, the man's face gradually smiled hideously.

"yes. Actually, we're all pretty much infected with this disease. The teammates behind the man also echoed one by one, and at the same time showed a smile with strong malice.

"That...... Konya, aren't these people what we learned in Harmonia Castle before, that ...... The so-called robbers that exist in human society, right? Li Yaqi leaned into Konya's ear and muttered quietly, and her words seemed to contain some expectation.

"Hmm...... I guess that's it......" Conya replied in a low voice, still a little hesitant in her voice.

After hearing Conya's reply, Li Yaqi couldn't hide her excitement, "So, it doesn't matter if you kill them?!" Since I came out of Harmonia Castle, I have been looking forward to the opportunity to learn about my own strength in this world! ”

"That's true, but I think ......"

Before Konya could finish speaking, Li Yaqi jumped out of the carriage with a somersault, and the moment her feet hit the ground, she immediately rushed in front of the man who claimed to be the eldest brother. The speed is so fast that in the eyes of ordinary people, they will think that she has teleported past. The man didn't react at all to Li Yaqi's series of actions. As a dagger glowing with a faint cyan flame in Li Yaqi's hand slashed through the air, the man immediately turned his head in a different place, and the body that gushed out a large amount of blood immediately fell, and his head fell to the ground with a frozen expression. At the same time, without waiting for the others to react, Li Yaqi immediately jumped back and returned to the position where she had jumped out of the carriage just now, and the blue-black dagger in her hand was immediately replaced by a bat-like longbow that also glowed with cyan flames.

"Green Flame: Arrow of Withering Life." With Li Yaqi's flat voice, more than a dozen arrows burning with cyan flames flew quickly towards the crowd in front of her. All the bodies that had been pierced by the arrows through the armor instantly burst into cyan flames, and after a brief wail and struggle, the cyan flames gradually extinguished, and a charred corpse was in stark contrast to the almost intact clothing, lying motionless in the middle of the road.

Li Yaqi retracted the longbow into the magic space again, gently dusted off the stains on his coat with his hand, and then turned around and climbed back into the carriage. On the carriage, Konya held her cheeks with her hands, looked at the corpse in front of her boringly, and pretended to be disappointed and said, "You guy is really still so rough......"

"Huh?" Li Yaqi asked in surprise.

"Look," Konya pointed forward, signaling to Li Yaqi why she had disappointed herself.

I saw where Konya was pointing, a panicked man was staggering onto his horse, ready to flee.

"Haha...... Ha", Li Yaqi smiled awkwardly while scratching her hair with her hands. "That's because because he was hiding behind the horses, and when I was shooting, I deliberately avoided all the horses, so I didn't shoot his ......," Li explained.

"Are you done with it?" Just as Li Yaqi summoned the longbow again and was about to shoot the fish that slipped through the net, a slightly muffled girl's voice came from the carriage behind.

"Yes, yes. Channa-sama. Li Yaqi immediately put away her longbow, turned over and got out of the carriage, came to the window of the carriage, and hurriedly replied, "The robbers have all been eliminated, leaving behind four horses and a small amount of supplies and equipment, uh...... And also...... That one...... It looks like a robber has slipped through the net...... I'm ......."

"It's okay, don't bother with it, clean up the battlefield, it's important to hurry." The voice inside said coldly and calmly.

"Understood, I'll deal with it!" Li Yaqi replied briskly, and then turned around and prepared to run to the front of the car. At this moment, a girl with short brown hair and crooked braids poked her head out of the car window and stopped her. "Wait a minute, Yaqi."

"Huh? What's up? Li Yaqi stopped, turned around, and waited for the girl's reply.

At this time, the girl was leaning against the car window, and her face was full of bright smiles, and her dark brown eyes seemed to show her endless enthusiasm for the world.

"You said there were four horses, didn't you?" The girl asked.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"I thought, why don't we let those four horses pull the cart instead of our magic horses," the girl continued, "Didn't Lord Sheen keep emphasizing to us when we came out that we shouldn't be too eye-catching, so wouldn't it be better if we used ordinary horses to pull the cart now, you say, Lord Shanna?" With that, the girl looked out the window.

"Yes, just do as Eugarie intended." A slightly deep voice in the carriage said.

"Roger!" After Li Yaqi finished speaking, she immediately ran to the front of the car.

After Li Yaqi relayed Yujiali's suggestion to Konya, they came to the corpse in the middle of the road together. Li Yaqi put the weapons, equipment, and luggage of some value on the robbers' bodies into the magic space one by one, while Konya carried the charred corpses to both sides of the road, and then recalled the two magic warhorses that had originally pulled the cart, and led the four captured horses to the front of the cart.

"Wolves of the Wild?" Li Yaqi took a crumpled banner and looked at it for a while, then turned to Konya and asked, "Konya, have you heard of any wolf of the wilderness?" ”

While arranging the captured horses, Konya turned back and replied, "I don't think I've heard of it, why do you ask that?" ”

"Found from this man." Li Yaqi pointed to the corpse of the man who claimed to be the eldest brother just now, and then opened the flag in his hand and showed it to Konya.

"Hmm......" Konya shook her head, "I don't know, I think it's just the bandits' own nickname." Whatever, we're going to clean up here, and we're going to keep going. With that, Konya turned around and continued to arrange the reins of the horses.

In a few moments, the road was cleared and the horses were set. Li Yaqi and Konya returned to the driver's seat just now, drove the carriage, and continued to drive in the direction of the adventurer's kingdom with the seized supplies.
