Eugari rode a magical unicorn and took Miria all the way to the western abyss forest in the southwest.

"Look there!" Yugari shouted as she pointed to a large forest shrouded in filthy clouds on the horizon.

"It should be there." Miria responded, "Can your mount fly in that environment?" ”

"With the mount, I think it should be fine. But the view in there should be very bad, and I'm afraid I'll not be able to see clearly. Yujiali said worriedly.

"Then we can only go down?"

"Let's fly at a low altitude first, but if you can't do it, you have to walk over." With that, Yugari instructed the magic unicorn to lower its flight altitude.

"Let's drink the potion first. Nothing happens. With that, Miria took out the potion and handed it to Yugari, and the two of them drank it all. Suddenly, I felt a large amount of energy surging all over my body.

As they rushed into the Abyss Forest from low altitude, a powerful chaotic energy immediately enveloped them. This feeling of suffocation, suffocation, and oppression almost made Miria faint. Fortunately, Yujiali strengthened her mental resistance in time, so that she did not fall from the air.

"What kind of energy is this, it makes people feel like they want to die." Miria couldn't help but complain.

"I felt it too. Not only is the whole body bound by an invisible force like a belt, but the mana is also constantly draining. ”

"What then?" Miria said worriedly, "If I say it, I'll lose all my computing power, and I can still fight." ”

"It's okay, peace of mind. I still have some solutions. ”

At that moment, a huge tentacle wrapped in a layer of dark energy suddenly drew from the forest below towards Yugari and the others. Yugari hurried to dodge. The whistling wind passed by Eugari's ears in an instant, nearly knocking them over. However, before she could adjust her mount, another tentacle rushed straight at them, and she couldn't dodge and was flipped into the air.

"Don't worry!" Yugari shouted at Miria who had fallen, adjusting her body and clumsily moving forward against the wind, catching Miria and then slowly descending to the ground, avoiding a plane crash.

"Alas. I knew that I should have practiced the Wind Technique in the first place, and if that was the case, I wouldn't have been so nervous now. Yugari sighed with a look of regret.

"I've asked you before. How could you master so many different types of spells, it is impossible for a single priest. Miria asked, looking puzzled.

"I've answered you before." "It's all the effects of the magical equipment that someone gave me when I was at Harmonia Castle. You can master some simple spells in other disciplines. For example, the wind manipulation spell just now, is the effect of this headband. Pointing to the headband on her head, Yugari continued to explain, "But I didn't study hard at the beginning, so I couldn't do even the most basic operations. It would have been much easier just now. ”

"Such a terrific piece of equipment? I've never heard of it, have I? How did you get it? Miria asked with some envy.

"This is from Ella, the gentlest and most beautiful sister in Halmonia." With an admiring look on her face, she said, "By the way, you can try it too." It's hard to control, though. With that, Eugari untied the headband from her head and tied it up for Miria.

"Well, it's pretty good." Yugari looked at the long single ponytail that had been combed for Miria and said contentedly, "Okay, let's try it." ”

As she spoke, Miria slowly floated up with a serious expression. It was okay at first. However, as soon as she floated above the height of Eugari's head, Miria seemed to lose her center of gravity all of a sudden, and she scrambled in the air. However, the more Miria rushed to adjust her center of gravity, the more uncoordinated her posture became. Finally, his hands and feet were scribbling with his head down and feet up, and the long white dress fell down, obscuring his vision. Miria blushed in embarrassment and hurriedly covered her long skirt with her hands. Unexpectedly, he withdrew the spell at once, and instantly fell from the air and fell heavily to the ground. Yugari hurriedly ran forward to help.

"Oops." Miria gritted her teeth and said, "What a spellbreaker, it's too unseemly." It's not for me at all. ”

"You've been using it for so long for the first time, it's already good, this spell is hard to control." Yujiali hurriedly comforted, "However, as long as you practice more in the future, I think you will definitely be able to master it quickly." ”

"Forget it." Miria pouted and complained, "Even if you master it, this kind of dress will fly into the sky, and it will not be a proper dress." ”

"It's okay." Yugari said embarrassedly.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Yugari immediately drew her staff, and her expression became nervous.

"What? What's wrong? Miria also hurriedly took out the long-handled scythe, stood next to Yugari, and asked nervously.

"There's something around." Yugari said uncertainly.

"Really? Don't scare me. Miria smiled wryly.

"Not sure. However, it seems that we have been watching from a distance. Yugari said as she looked around vigilantly.

"Be on your guard. It's full of demons that could attack us at any moment. Let's hurry up and go to the Demon Slayer Valley, it's better to find the Sin Soul Grass and go back quickly. Don't stay here too long. Miria suggested.

"Hmm. That's right. Yugari nodded in agreement. So, the two of them held their weapons and kept a high level of nervous readiness for battle, and cautiously walked towards the depths of the forest.

Along the way, the flowers and trees, insects, birds, and beasts that Yujiali saw, everything was strange and grew completely out of common sense. However, most of them have a pale black energy attached to their bodies, which sporadically radiates into the space around them. Although there is an uneven fog all the time, a few wisps of white smoke can occasionally be seen drifting by. Yugari and the others had come a long way since they entered the forest, and although they could sometimes hear inexplicable howls from the depths of the forest, they were lucky enough not to encounter hordes of dangerous creatures attacking them.

After walking for a while, Yugari suddenly stopped, pointed to a humanoid creature lying in the middle of the road in front of her, and exclaimed in surprise, "What is that?!" ”

Following Eugari's gesture, a humanoid figure the size of a child was lying in the middle of the road. Its milky white body was covered in large black spots, its dark gray markings had no organs in sight, and its slender arms hung down above its feet. A large amount of black fluid spilled from his body, seeping into the soil below his arms and along his arms.

Eugari and Miria cautiously leaned in while keeping an eye on their surroundings. They approached it, crouched down, and looked the unknown creature up and down in amazement.

"Y-Have you seen it?" Jugari asked tremblingly.

"I've never heard of it." The two looked at each other and froze there.

At this moment, Yugari suddenly felt a sound in the distance behind her, and they immediately turned their heads. A large jaw of blood as tall as a man burst out of the dirt behind them and swallowed it towards them.

Eugari and Miria hurriedly stood up and dodged to the left and right. A large mouth of blood rushed in front of them, and a puff of black smoke immediately rushed in their faces, blowing them out, and the two of them retreated again and again, staggering a few steps before they fell.

The blood-basin mouth immediately stood firm, allowing himself to face up to Yujiali who was not far away. Only then did Yujiali see clearly that the monster in front of her was covered by a big mouth, and only six slender hands and feet stretched out from behind the big mouth, three of which supported the body, and another huge eyeball hung above the big mouth, staring at herself.

Without giving Yugari time to take a closer look, two slender tongues suddenly protruded from the monster's bloody mouth, attacking Yugari like two spirit snakes. Yugari hurriedly jumped back, barely dodging the monster's attack. The ground touched by the long tongue was immediately eroded by a puddle of black putrid liquid, emitting a pungent stench.

At the same time, Miria behind the monster was already wielding a long-handled scythe and swept towards its back. I saw that the monster leaped up with agility and jumped up on the high branch. However, without giving it the slightest respite, Yugari immediately cast a divine spell that struck it in the back, knocking it to the ground. However, before Miria could arrive, the monster crawled to its feet, jumped off the battlefield in two blows, and disappeared into the dense fog in the distance.

After the monster fled, Yugari and Miria stood in a daze for a long time, both stunned by the monster just now.

"It's the first time I've seen such a strange creature." Yujiali said blankly, "It seems that there is only one mouth." ”

"Really, really. The world is so big that there are no surprises. Miria said.

The two of them slowed down a little, and once again gathered around the humanoid creature the size of a child.

"I don't know what this is." Miria complained, "But it should be a corpse, right?" ”

"Probably...... I'll check it out first. With that, Eugari cast a spell and began to check the condition of the humanoid, "It looks like it's still alive." But the vitality is already very weak. And there are a lot of ...... attached to the body I don't know what the state is. I've never seen it before. ”

"Can it be cured?"

"I don't know, but I can try." As she spoke, Yugari raised her staff and prepared to chant a healing spell.

"Wait, wait." Miria hurriedly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"It occurred to me that since these guys live in this forest, maybe they will be dark themselves."

"Huh?" Yugari exclaimed in surprise.

"If that's the case, your healing spell will kill it."

"That'...... What to do? Yugari asked, embarrassed.

"Well...... "If it's a dark constitution, the healing spell will cause it a lot of damage, and if you use the shadow recovery spell, in case it's not a dark constitution......" Miria frowned and thought seriously, "That's right! Miria suddenly said happily, "Didn't Lu Qi give you a dirty strange grass before, didn't she say that the plant can cure all physical injuries?" ”

"If you don't say it, I'll forget it." Yujiali hurriedly took out the Life and Death Recovery Grass, and just about to use it, she hesitated. "Sister Luqi's herbs are not reliable. Anyway, it seems that when she was in Harmonia, her herbs really didn't come in handy except for helping." Yujiali complained secretly in her heart.

"What's wrong?" Miria asked, puzzled.

"No, nothing." Yugari replied with some embarrassment. "I can't help it, I can only give it a try." Thinking of this, Yugari lightly applied the herb to the wound of the humanoid creature. The dirty-looking plant immediately flickered into a faint white halo that gradually melted into the black blood of the humanoid.

"It doesn't seem to work." After waiting for a while, Miria said with some disappointment.

"W-wait." Yujiali said without confidence at all, "Didn't Sister Luqi say that it is slow to take effect." "I guess I was fooled by Sister Luqi again."

At that moment, they noticed a group of short figures approaching them in the distant mist. So, they immediately got up, took their weapons, and watched the approaching figure with all their attention, ready to fight.

As the figures approached, they could clearly see that the small figures looked exactly like the humanoids lying on the ground. It's just that some have an extra slender tail, and some don't.

"Is it its partner?" Eugari muttered to herself as she watched for their movements.

"I guess it's a resident here, after all, it's this scale." Miria looked at the humanoids that had gathered around, and there were about forty or fifty of them.

The group of short, creamy-white creatures with black markings all over their bodies stopped when they were a few meters away from Yugari and the others, and stood there without saying a word or moving. This distance made Miria feel very uncomfortable, as it was just on the edge of her attack range.

"What to do? Do you want to attack it? Miria asked in a low voice.

"Wait and see how they react." Eugari replied.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded behind him, and the monster that had been driven away by Yujiali and the others just now ran back again. Yugari and the others immediately turned around and prepared to fight. At the same time, they were surprised to notice that the humanoid creatures that had just gathered around them had already dispersed in a hurry, and they didn't know where to hide.

There was still some distance before the monster stretched out two long tongues and struck at Yugari and the others. Jugari was about to dodge when she realized that the long tongue was not coming at them. The long tongue that came at them didn't strike Yugari, but curled up the humanoid creature lying on the ground and quickly retracted it.

"Not good! Don't let it snatch it away! Yugari shouted, and then grabbed her staff and rushed forward.

Miria got ahead of her, throwing a frost crystal that froze the monster in place. At the same time, he swung his long-handled scythe as fast as he could, severing its long tongue at once, saving the humanoid.

A large amount of black rot gushed out from the severed tongue, and Eugari and Miria had to retreat temporarily to avoid being eroded by the rot. At this moment, the monster let out a piercing scream, which instantly lifted Miria's freezing, and held the injured long tongue, desperately fleeing into the distance.

"Are you alright?" Yugari asked with concern.

"Peace of mind, I didn't get splashed. Let's take a look at that guy's situation first. With that, the two of them hurried to the humanoid creature to reconfirm its condition.

"Don't worry. As before, I didn't get hurt again. "But, Sister Luqi, when will your herbs take effect?" Yujiali complained anxiously in her heart.

At this time, they found that the group of humanoids that had been scattered together again gathered around them. Still keeping the distance he had just left, he looked at them.

Yugari and the others stood up, just about to walk over to ask what was going on. Suddenly, the humanoid creature lying beside them suddenly crawled up. And just as they turned their attention to the humanoid creature that had come to life, the group of humanoids around them rushed up. Before they could react, the humanoids approached them, hugging their thighs and bouncing around. Some gathered in front of the humanoid creature that had just come to life, constantly stroking and snuggling. Some even climbed onto the shoulders of Yujali and rubbed their cheeks like a well-behaved kitten.

"Well, it doesn't seem to be malicious." Yugari said embarrassedly.

"It's a bit ......, though. It's disgusting. Miria said embarrassedly.

After a carnival-like activity, the group of dwarf humanoids gradually began to move in an orderly manner into the distance. Some of the humanoid creatures surrounding them tugged at their skirts, as if inviting them to come along.

"Looks like we're going to go along." Yugari said uncertainly.

"What to do? Would you like to go over and have a look? Isn't it dangerous? Miria said hesitantly.

"Hmm...... Why don't you just go over and have a look? Anyway, we're not familiar with this place, and we can't find out where the Demon Slayer Valley is. And they don't seem to have any ill will. Let's check with the past first, in case you can find any useful clues. ”

"That's right. Well, let's go. With that, the two followed the group of dwarf humanoids towards the depths of the Abyssal Forest.

And not far from here, the wounded monster, with dark blood all the way, scurried into a cave in embarrassment. In addition to dozens of monsters that look exactly like it, there are also many humanoid corpses scattered around this invisible cavern.
