Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Demon King and the Druid
The Endless Meadow was always day, and there was no night, and it was easy to lose a sense of time, but the long journey still made Green feel a little tired.
When you are tired, you naturally need to rest.
Using the shield as a quilt over his body, and then covering his head to block out the harsh sunlight, Green quickly fell asleep.
Half-asleep, Grimm heard the voice again.
"The host ......"
The sound was clearer than ever, as if it was nearby, and Green was finally sure that what he was hearing was not the harassing sound of mosquitoes.
"Who are you? Where are you? Green tried to communicate with the other side.
"Master, wait for me, I'll come to see you soon......"
"Wait for me...... I'll ...... right away."
Green was about to ask the other party how to find himself when he dreamed and woke up.
Grimm opened his eyes in high spirits, reached out and pushed away the shield that was pressing on him, and sat up.
"It's not a dream." Green rubbed his face and made his brain active, "The Demon King's subordinates?" It's a bit of a hassle. It seems that the voice can only be heard during the time when you are about to wake up, and the time is too short to even ask for something. ”
Green shook his head, got up, picked up his shield, and walked in one direction.
Soon, Green pushed away a patch of grass and saw two Thunderhorn Rabbits with tightly tied limbs.
Green glanced at the grass under the two rabbits, and a sly smile appeared on his face: "Hehe~ It looks like you're full." ”
Yesterday, Green studied for a long time before finally figuring out why they don't eat grass.
It turns out that as long as there are adventurers around, the labyrinth creatures will prioritize attacking adventurers and ignore other things. So as long as Green stays away from them, out of their hate, the two "Pikachus" will actively seek grass to eat like normal rabbits - even if their limbs are tied.
Although his limbs were tied, the Thunderhorned Rabbit looked much better than yesterday after a full meal.
Green stretched out his groping hand towards the two innocent rabbits......
"Crackle! ~”
A burst of purple light flashed on the horns of the Thunderhorn Rabbit, and then ......
"Ah...... Oh...... Woo......" Green couldn't help but let out a soothing sound.
Maybe it's because of the shot yesterday, so the Thunder Horned Rabbit quickly wilted today, and the amount of lightning strikes is completely incomparable to yesterday.
A few seconds later, the two Thunderhorn Rabbits, whose bodies had been hollowed out, lay on the ground with a loveless expression.
"Cool!" Green moved his muscles for a moment, "It's just that the energy is a little less." ”
Although the amount is small, it can barely make up for the energy required for Green's activities.
Green saddled his luggage, picked up the two rabbits, and set off again.
The two Thunderhorned Rabbits had loveless expressions on their faces, allowing Green to carry them.
Hiking was a tedious thing to do, and it made Green feel like he was back in the wilderness.
When I was in the wilderness, I was in this way, and when I was hungry, I would find something to eat in the wilderness. Compared to the situation at that time, the situation in front of me is much better.
Green grazes grass while reminiscing about the days of the past.
"Then again, why haven't you seen anyone for so long? The halfling couldn't have been wrong in the direction I'm given, right? Green looked up into the distance and frowned slightly, "But it doesn't make sense." What's the point of pit me? Just to make me lose an adventure bracelet? ”
Although there were doubts in his heart, Green's footsteps did not stop.
Whether the halfling adventurer is true or not, as long as you keep going, you will always know the outcome - at best, it will be a waste of time.
After a long day's journey, Green finally met another team on the prairie.
Maybe it's a bit of a "team" because it's a druid with a pack of beasts.
The druid wore an animal skin around his waist, and he had no clothes on his body, but was painted with strange patterns of various colors. At this time, the druid was riding on a giant leopard, followed by a bear with a small mouse and eagle making a nest on its messy green hair.
"Hello, I'm lost, how do I get to the first floor of the labyrinth?" Green asked, standing not far away.
The druid glanced at the two rabbits in Grindy's hands: "You"
Maybe it was because he saw that Green was carrying two rabbits in his hands, so the druid didn't give Green a good face.
I saw the druid looking at the two rabbits, making a silent sound from his mouth, communicating with the two rabbits in a way that Green couldn't hear.
The two rabbits looked at the druid with desperate eyes, their mouths trembling, as if to tell of the inhumane treatment they had suffered!
"Human, what are you going to do with these two innocent creatures?" The druid sat on the leopard's back and looked down at Grimm condescendingly.
Green looked at the two rabbits in his hand, then at the druid and the beasts that followed him, and blinked.
I wouldn't be someone who met extreme animal protectionism, would I?
Green couldn't help but think of some people on the planet who commit illegal acts in the name of "animal protection".
Tut! What a hassle.
"This is the labyrinth, this is the labyrinth monster. Is there anything wrong with hunting monsters? ”
"Hunting is fine, but animals should not be abused! This world is a gift from God, and hunting should be done with reverence. ”
"Uh......" Green frowned, "you mean it's okay to kill them, but you shouldn't tie them up?" ”
"Yes." The druid stared at Grimm, "You can kill them or let them go, but you shouldn't imprison them." ”
What kind of logic is this!
This is a person who can't communicate.
Green couldn't help but sigh: "What would you do if I refused?" Kill me, and then release them? Or are you going to kill them by force? ”
The druid was silent: "......"
The druid patted the leopard under his crotch and silently turned away.
Looking at the departing druid, a hint of surprise and surprise flashed in Green's eyes.
To Green's surprise, the druid did not act aggressively, but because Green mistreated the rabbit, the druid refused to communicate with Green.
Seeing the druid leave, Green glanced up at the eagle soaring in the sky and touched his chin.
"The druids are coming from this direction and going in that direction...... He didn't look like he was carrying loot or food, and he didn't look like he was traveling a long way......" Green looked at the eagle soaring in the sky, and suddenly a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I understand! He came to the steppe to hunt and feed his pets! ”
After thinking about this, Green had already made up his mind.
Green walked in the direction the druid had come.
Green has reason to believe that he is not far from the entrance to the first floor of the labyrinth!
