Chapter 8: The Demon King and the Labyrinth Rice

Natalie looked at Green's resentful eyes and waved her hand: "You don't have to worry about me, I'll just see." You just do what you want to do. ”

Although Green couldn't understand Natalie's words, looking at Natalie's expression and actions of "I'll eat melons", he could guess her purpose somewhat.

"To spy on me?" Green sighed, "That's right, who made me a 'foreigner'." It's a matter of course to be wary. ”

However, it was just surveillance, and it did not directly interfere with his own actions, which was already very good in Green's opinion.

Green looked around, then headed into the forest.

"That's the border!" Natalie reminded.

"Bump! ~" With a thud, Green slammed his head against an invisible wall.

"Woo-hoo......" Green clutched his forehead.

Natalie looked at Green with a funny face, "It's hard to move around the maze without the Adventurer Bracelet...... Well, I forgot you didn't understand what I said. ”

Green covered his forehead with one hand and fumbled in front of him with the other.

It looked like a forest ahead, but Green touched an invisible wall. I didn't think it when I followed Natalie through the maze before, but after experiencing it myself, Green suddenly realized that without the "Adventurer's Bracelet", it would be really difficult to move in the maze.

Just then, Green suddenly noticed a snake on a tree in the "forest background" and popped up.

"Be careful!" The red-haired girl suddenly rushed to Grimm's side, pulled him behind her, and then raised her left arm and blocked it with her wrist.

"Smack!" With a bang, a small snake bit the bracer on the girl's arm.

I saw that the girl waved her right hand, and the cold light flashed, and the little snake was directly cut in two by the sharp dagger, and then disappeared.

"Don't get too close to the edge of the maze." Natalie turned her head and said angrily to Green, "You have no idea if anything is going to break out of those seemingly innocuous backgrounds!" ”

Green didn't understand Natalie's words, but Green knew that the maze might be a little more dangerous than he thought it might be, especially if he was clothed.

Green didn't know if those little snakes would attack him after he turned on the [Naked Demon King] aura, but he would definitely be attacked when he was wearing clothes.

Grimm silently picked up the stick and turned his head to look at the red-haired girl.

Natalie looked at Green strangely, a little puzzled as to why Green was staring at her.

After thinking about it, Natalie suddenly had a look of sudden realization: "Do you want me to go ahead and show you the way?" ”

Greene: "......"

Natalie felt like she had guessed Green's thoughts: "Hey~ why bother." ”

Natalie shook her head and took the initiative to walk to the front and lead the way for Green.

The gem on Natalie's adventurer's bracelet on her wrist shone faintly, and at the same time, many translucent walls appeared in the world in Natalie's eyes, and those forests, the sky, and so on, all became the scenery on the walls, which looked like a pair of murals.

In Natalie's eyes, this is a labyrinth with a forest mural as the background, and the mural is very different from the real landscape, so Natalie is not worried about taking the "mural" as the real landscape and running headfirst like Green.

Natalie took Green and headed for the exit.

This forest maze, Natalie visits once a day, so she is very familiar with the "monster spawn points" and forks in the maze.

After advancing some distance, items that Natalie hadn't picked up before began to appear on the ground.

The Forest Labyrinth mainly drops some materials and plant materials on snakes, which are not very valuable, and their value is not even comparable to the "God-given Crystal" itself. Therefore, apart from the adventurers in the village, there are basically no other adventurers who will come to attack this labyrinth.

For the vast majority of adventurers, these "maze items" are worthless, but for Green, these "garbage" are the best option to fill his stomach.

Green picked up the props on the ground one by one.

Small pieces of meat, plant berries, wild vegetables, herbs, and so on are all things that can be used to make food. And things like vines are props used to make fires.

Natalie watched curiously as Green picked up the things on the ground, completely unsure of what Green was trying to do, until she saw Green stuff a fruit into her mouth, and then she exclaimed.

"You...... What are you doing! Didn't I tell you that you can't eat the things in the labyrinth!? Natalie snatched the berry from Grimm and threw it on the ground.

"Holy!" Green felt a little headache about the red-haired girl's overreaction.

It seems that if I don't convince this girl, I don't want to eat.

In desperation, Green had no choice but to use a spell.

"The fruit has been spoiled! I'm counting on these foods to improve my life now! With the help of tongue tricks, Green gained the ability to temporarily overcome the language barrier.

"Didn't I tell you? The food in the maze is not edible! Natalie angrily grabbed Green by the collar, "Do you want to die!?" ”

"Don't get excited, don't get excited. I'm not going to do something I'm not sure about. Green smiled wryly.

Encountering such a kind and enthusiastic girl, Green felt that if she didn't make her words clear, she probably wouldn't let herself eat those labyrinth foods.

Green: "You should know that my spells require food to be cast ......"

"Then you can't eat maze food! What if I do die!? ”

"I found out about this kind of problem yesterday. What you eat, it disappears when you leave the labyrinth, even if the food is digested, but! "But that doesn't mean we can't take advantage of the labyrinth items. As long as you don't ingest it into your body and let the labyrinth item become a part of your body, then it doesn't matter if it disappears. For example, I can use these vines into bows and arrows, or I can use these foods as materials for casting spells, as long as they are not ingested into my body and become one with myself, then there is no danger. ”

Natalie blinked, "...... Didn't understand. ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to know that I didn't really eat them." Green picked up a berry and stuffed it into his mouth, "Alright." Go ahead and hopefully we'll be able to raise enough food to cast spells. ”

The red-haired girl scratched her head and gave up thinking: "Okay, that is, it doesn't matter if you eat it?" ”

"Yes." Green nodded.

Natalie: "Okay, in that case...... I'll just trust you. ”
