"Also, let them slow down and don't eat too much at a time."

As Natsu reminded the advance team members through Lori, these people all slowed down their eating speed after the starvation state.

The disadvantage of the spider beauty is that she can't speak, and it is difficult to explain what happened clearly just by gestures, so Xia picked a male team member who usually speaks fluently and asked him to tell the story of what happened when he came to the new area.

"In the beginning we just went a little bit further to find the right camp."

The male team member was eating too quickly, his breath was a little uneven, and he gasped and said:

"Security and concealment are indispensable...... We also needed to be close to the water source, so we abandoned the original sparse jungle and moved northwest instead......"

This barrier can isolate sound, so Erin acts as a typist, transmitting information to the system in real time, so that Natsu can see the other party's words.

"Let him get to the point."

Xia sensed the rear, and always felt a sense of uneasiness, as if something bad was about to happen.

"A witch!"

The male team member said with a frightened face:

"She didn't use magic, but it was more powerful than magic, and we had no idea what was going on, so she easily defeated her and hid in this cave that we had stumbled upon."

"But we didn't have much food with us, and the only water mage was missing on the way! So Miss Gladys took the risk to go out in search of food and water for us, and the witch laid many traps around us and found us by some clues......"

When she saw this text, Xia noticed that Gladys's clothes were not torn from the battle, but were scratched by small things.

"If it was a dinosaur attack, it would never be like this...... It seems that she has suffered a lot. ”

Natsu now regretted letting Gladys lead the team more and more, not because she was incompetent, but because she lacked the versatility of a mage, and if an experienced High Mage had met that so-called witch, the outcome would probably have been different.

Classes that are good at physics often fall into passivity when faced with magic classes unless they have a head start on them.

"More powerful than magic, this is a layman's statement, even witchcraft and magic are just different principles, it is difficult to say who is strong and who is weak."

"Alright, let them rest."

Natsu made Erin stop asking.

"Find out if there are any hidden rock cavities nearby that are big enough to hide my ...... Let's pretend to sleep in the enchantment first, and we'll hide for a while to see who the witch is. ”

After the order was given, all five people, including Gladys, lay on their stomachs on the ground, their faces turned inwards and their eyes closed.

Xia hid in a cave about 1 meter above the ground, and a layer of magic camouflage was laid on the outside to cover the entrance of the cave, with her current level, as long as the other party was not a magician of the level of Keith, she couldn't see the flaw at all.

Her hunch had been correct, and after only a few moments, footsteps sounded in the passageway.

The footsteps were a little sluggish, but they sounded soft, and the rhythm of the steps was somewhat feminine.

But when someone appeared, Xia was taken aback:

"Martha?"

The person who came was none other than the water magician who had just "disappeared" in the mouth of the team members!

However, the state of this female magician was obviously not normal, her eyes were very dazed, her steps were a little staggering, and her knees weakened before she could reach the enchantment, and she fell to her knees.

Then her body shook twice, and her upper body slowly leaned forward, falling face down to the ground.

"It's a trap."

Xia endured the urge to go out to save people, and gave Erin instructions to search nearby.

- She's sure that the enemy who sent Martha here is watching this place nearby!

But little Lori searched around and didn't see any witches, but she found a few large geckos with twinkling eyes on the rock wall.

These geckos behave uncharacteristically, neither like they are catching prey nor resting; Little Lori took a closer look, and their bulging eyes were staring in three directions, namely Martha, the sorceress lying on the ground, the advance team members lying in the enchantment, and the entrance to the passage.

"Burmese Cretaceous gecko (Cretacegekko-burmae)."

After hearing Lori's description, Xia thought of a strange scientific name.

It is speculated that the gecko could reach 30 centimeters in length, several times the size of a modern gecko in a 28th-century wildlife park, but the creature in front of it is clearly not so exaggerated.

Perhaps to facilitate concealment, the gecko on the rock wall is only about 15 centimeters long, which is about the same as the giant gecko (clam) on the earth.

"I read more information out of curiosity, and it seems that it is still somewhat useful."

Xia didn't treat this ordinary creature as a monster, but secretly activated the soul magic skill, the mind possession.

On the first attempt, the Cretaceous gecko, which was taken as an experimental subject, did not respond.

It seems that the other party is not simple, and has long exerted some kind of means on these geckos, making them loyal to their servants; Unless you forcibly destroy a creature's brain, it is difficult to take its field of vision.

"It turns out that it's not a summon or a temporary control object, but a demon with a spiritual imprint."

"In that case, the other party may still be far away, and now they are just monitoring this place in this way."

After the temptation, she had a bottom in her heart, so she didn't wait any longer.

I saw her body pop out of her hiding place, and she slashed out six swords at once with amazing speed!

Each of those geckos was responsible for monitoring an angle, exactly six in total, and each of them was cleaved into flesh by the powerful sword qi, and they could not die again.

After eliminating the enemy's watchers, she reached in front of the barrier and reached out to touch the edge of the magic light shield, and the entire barrier went dark.

"Regeneration enchantment? It's really willing to spend the money. ”

Xia maintained the posture of cutting off the magic power, and sent a message to the advance team members inside:

"Don't wait, our enemy is far away from here now, this is an opportunity, get out of here with me!"

"Your Highness the Princess?"

Although those people knew that Xia was coming, there were many people who had never seen her succubus form, and their voices were different, so they seemed a little hesitant.

But Gladys had seen it, she ran over with red eyes, hugged Xia's body hard, and refused to let go for a long time.

"I've really wronged you this time, Gladys."

Xia also hugged her and said guiltily.

“――”

The spider beauty shook her head on her shoulder, sniffing her greedily, and unlike the weak and frightened look she had just now, Glady's expression now looked very reassuring.

She had already established a considerable prestige in the advance team, and seeing that she hugged the person so confidently, the members of the team understood who the person in front of them was, but now was not the time for hypocrisy, and after a short moment of gratitude, one of them went to pick up Martha, and carried the sorceress towards the exit.

"Wait a minute."

When passing by Xia's side, Xia suddenly drank coldly.

The team members were startled and looked back at her, not knowing what Her Royal Highness the princess who had saved them had anything to say.

"Martha...... No, should I say that it is a certain witch? I don't think there's any need to play stupid now, right? ”

Xia's voice is fascinating, but the words are terrifying:

"Don't think you're safe by hiding in someone else's body, I have many ways to get your soul out of her...... Would you like to give it a try? ”

Just now she had been guessing what the other party wanted to do.

If you want to monitor, but you are far away, you don't have time to react to what happens;

If you want to do something, but send the missing team members back, aren't you afraid that someone will forcibly rescue them, and in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty?

"It was a surprise encounter......

After a while, Martha's hair fell in a strange voice.

The sound is like a marionette being manipulated, coming out of behind the scenes with a fake voiceover:

"I thought it would be quite lucky to find a starlight spider, but I didn't expect to meet a powerful succubus."

She slowly raised her head, her eyes glowing with white light, and her pupils could not be seen from within:

"I've heard that succubi are weak demons...... But you are an exception. ”

The slightly terrifying female face slowly turned, as if looking at Xia's posture:

"Proportions of muscles, height, chest shape, legs and torso...... It's all in perfect condition, and it's a bit of a waste to treat you as a demon, so I might as well make you my pet. (To be continued.) )
