Chapter 5: The Lord of the Jungle
"What are you talking about?"
Lu Ming glanced at Lifa strangely, the voice she muttered just now was too small and too small, so that he didn't hear such a good hearing.
"It's nothing, Lord Demon."
Lifa stood up again, regained her capable appearance again, bowed slightly, put her hand on the sword, and saluted Lu Ming:
"I'm sorry, Lord Demon, I just let you see the joke."
Obviously, Lifa, who has regained her mood, has already shown what a head maid should look like.
Speaking of the weak appearance just now, Lifa really rarely shows it, but after all, she has just lost her horn, just like a girl has no first time, or inexplicably gone, how can she keep calm.
It's already good to have a quick mindset like Lifa.
Lifa is fine, but Lu Ming is a little inexplicable, and he doesn't know what she just said, but since the other party doesn't want to repeat it a second time, he can't ask it, so he can only continue to fly with Lifa towards a place where there are people.
In order to take into account Lifa's speed, Lu Ming and her flew from the air for half a minute before flying out of this large desert.
Speaking of which, the level of Lifa's head maid is already very high compared to the world after 5,000 years, with 400 levels, and as for the other maids, the levels are also between 300 and 400.
After all, these maids have lived in the Demon King's Castle for a long time, even if they are not responsible for fighting, they can't be too low-level, otherwise they will lose the reputation of the Demon King's Castle.
But this level is much lower for the main forces of their Demon King Army, so along the way, Lu Ming has to take care of her.
"Lord Demon King, there's a jungle ahead."
Out of the desert, it is a chaotic mountainous area, and further on is the jungle, beyond the jungle, it seems that you can see people, seeing this, Lifa reported to Lu Ming.
"Well, we're ready to go down."
Of course, Lu Ming also saw the situation in front clearly, and Lifa landed on the cliff at the edge of the mountain.
As soon as she landed, Lifa discovered the problem:
"Lord Demon King, in the jungle below, it's a bit strange that the beast level is low."
"Oh?"
Lu Ming also glanced down and found that at their feet, there was a group of black wild wolves, looking at them and trembling.
Among them, the average level of the wolf pack is only level 10, and even the silver-white fur wolf king in the center is only about level 15.
In this regard, Lu Ming shook his head:
"It's not surprising, our castle has been spit out by the space-time crack for 5,000 years, and the highest level in this era is only more than 200."
He gave Lifa a brief explanation, and without waiting for her surprise, he walked into the jungle with his feet up.
Lifa stayed where she was and digested the shocking news, and after reacting to it, she immediately chased into the jungle.
The frightened wolves, after seeing the two men leave, fled to the mountains.
"Ahββ!!!h
Just as Lu Ming and Lifa were walking between the jungles, a sudden scream startled a flock of birds over the jungle.
"It's the edge of the jungle."
Lifa immediately judged the source of the voice, Lu Ming responded, and the two disappeared in an instant.
In just one breath, Lu Ming saw the situation at the source of the sound.
It appears to be an attack on a convoy collecting herbs, with wooden wagons overturned and herbs spilled on the ground.
The corpse of a stout man lay on the ground, and it looked like something had happened to him.
"Rustling ......"
In the bushes of the jungle, a huge claw emerged, which was still stained with blood, and after a while, a huge lizard five or six meters tall emerged from the bushes.
"Yes, the Lord of the Jungle! Run, run!! β
The survivors were all men dressed as farmers, and at this moment, they were immediately stunned when they saw such a large beast.
It was one of the older men who woke them up, got up from the ground in a hurry, and ran out of the forest without looking back.
And the old man ran a few steps, as if remembering something, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but shout:
"Lily, what are you doing?!"
On the giant lizard's side, there is a young girl hiding at the lizard's feet, picking up herbs on the ground.
"Are you crazy?!"
The old man yelled angrily, glanced at the giant lizard, seemed to be blocked by the surrounding trees, and immediately took advantage of the gap to run back.
"Come with me!"
He pulled the girl's arm on the ground, but the girl remained motionless, put a herb in the basket, and stubbornly raised her head:
"I can't go! The village has saved so much money to invite the warriors for this year's trip, if it fails, doesn't it mean that everyone's efforts have been in vain! β
"I don't want to disappoint everyone!"
There were tears in the girl's eyes, as a girl from an ordinary peasant family, she knew how hard everyone in the village worked to raise money.
It can only be blamed that their village is too remote, and the soldiers are reluctant to come, and every time they go into the jungle to collect some herbs, they have to spend a lot of money to hire people.
Therefore, this herb collection is at most once a year, and if it fails, then their village will lose the ability to cure diseases within a year.
"If you don't leave, even the warrior is dead this time!"
The old man glanced at the corpse in the car next to him, his beard straightened with anger, the warrior who had been invited by their village for so long had saved up money for so long, but he didn't expect it to be so useless.
But seeing Lily, who was still seriously picking up the herbs on the ground, he had no choice but to go along and patiently persuade:
"I know you're worried about the village, but Lily, do you know that your life is much more important than these herbs!"
Lily is the only medicine master in their village, and if the herbs are gone, they can pick them again next year, and if Lily takes her own life for this, then all the herbs in their village will have to travel long distances to distant towns to buy them.
However, this road is further away, and you can't be sure that you will meet something more powerful than the Lord of the Jungle.
"Alright, we're done!"
Lily put the last bunch of herbs in the basket, and although she had lost most of it, she had recollected the most important herbs.
"Come with me!"
The old man immediately grabbed Lily and urged her to hurry up, but before the girl could stand up, suddenly the giant lizard behind her shouted:
"Whewββ!"
Suddenly, the lizard's thick claws gripped at the two trees that were blocking its path, and with a 'bang', the two trees snapped.
"Be careful!"
I saw a half-meter-long tree flying straight towards Lily, and the old man didn't have time to push her away, so he saw Lily next to him, and he was directly hit by the trunk and flew out.
"Lily!"
The old man's eyes were bloodshot all of a sudden, and he seemed to have exhausted all his strength to call the girl's name.
Lily also thought that she was going to die, and no one could survive being knocked out by such a thick tree trunk.
It's just a pity that the medicine basket......
Lily couldn't help but stretch out her hand, as if to remind the old man to leave with that soon.
With a "poof", her body suddenly stopped, leaving Lily stunned, she seemed to have hit somewhere.
She subconsciously turned her head, only to realize that she had bumped into someone.
It's just that before she could see the appearance of the person behind her, a somewhat warm voice sounded in her ears:
"Are you alright?"
