Yuri and his companions struggled through the jungle of the basin, and the three of them were now the only ones left in the original team of more than thirty people. That's right, everyone else was wiped out......

Until now, Yuri couldn't believe that in just a few minutes, thirty elite adventurers had all been planted in the hands of the Demon Beast.

The demonic beasts in the basin are indeed difficult to deal with, which everyone has realized from the beginning, but the species encountered today can only be described as 'abnormal'.

They're too smart, too smart. From the moment the team stepped into the jungle, it was as if they had fallen into some trap.

First, the front and back of the queue were repeatedly harassed by plants, and they were forced to slow down the pace of their march and choose a more rugged and steep road to advance.

Then I was attracted by the traces of the giant snake's tail crawling across the ground, which attracted tracking at the same time, involved the formation, and even made the front and rear rows seriously disjointed.

Then, when the formation was stretched apart and loosened, as if aiming at this moment, a violent earthquake and a sudden frenzied growth of grass and trees divided the team, and most of them were cursed with petrification in the blink of an eye, and their legs became immobile.

After that, aiming at the adventurers who were trying to resist, the thunderbolt demon bird in the air swooped down quickly, collapsing the front like a river bursting its banks. I could only watch as my fainting companions, one by one, were preyed upon by the soft jelly-like objects.

And this series of processes from beginning to end comes from different kinds of Warcraft...... In other words, Warcraft has actually learned the tactical thinking of humans, and if this is the case, then it can be described as a fatal blow to the adventurer industry.

"Hey, Mr. Carlo, what do you say? Aren't you an encyclopedia of Warcraft in this area nearby? ”

Yuri tucked a rather diminutive teenager under his armpit and sped through the trees like a wolf.

"No, I don't know! I've never seen anything like that! What kind of monster is that——!

As Yuri calls him a young man, his mind is visibly deranged, his eyes purring and his hairstyle staggered by the oncoming wind.

Carlo is one of the members of the Adventurers' Guild [Dazzling Star Dust], and it seems that he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he has an extremely rich amount of Warcraft, but in the Guild, he is known as the title of Doctor Warcraft.

"At least, these aren't the demonic beasts that inhabit the basin in the first place, whether it's that thunderbolt demon bird, or the ones I just encountered, I've never seen them nearby in hundreds of years?"

A vigorous and slender figure jumped lightly in the trunk of the tree, and the voice of the voice was also very magnetic and beautiful, and when he looked up, he could see a mature woman full of love and charm and outstanding appearance. She was armed with a refined spear, and all the important parts of her body were guarded by armor, and if you judge her age by human senses, she would be about twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

However, a pair of iconic pointed ears prove that she is not human, but a group of elfs living in the Great Forest to the north. Forest elves are very long-lived uh races, half of the lifespan is about a thousand years, and the high-ranking elves are even like gods or dragons, they have no concept of lifespan, as long as they want to, they can live forever.

Because of their long lifespan, the Mori Bell fairies are very knowledgeable and wise, although they were originally a magical race, but once they leave their homeland and integrate into human society, they will also abandon prejudice and ancient reserves, and use the extra time to actively learn other knowledge and techniques. For example, the woman in front of her, who has now completely deviated from the traditions of the elves and has become a warrior who is skilled in spear combat.

"Tsk...... As Long Ears said, these monsters were not originally from the Basin. And at the end of the day...... It's hard to say whether it can be considered a monster or not. ”

The last person to speak, dressed in a linen-colored cloth dress, a cute baby face with a serious expression, a human girl with short brown hair, she did not have the physique of Yuri and the elves, but she was not behind the two, because she was flying in mid-air in some wonderful way—I saw a long strip of cloth with a complex texture engraved on it, defying the laws of gravity, floating in the air like a living thing, and surrounding the human girl, forming a shining circle, becoming a flying vehicle, and taking her forward at a low altitude.

Although I don't know what faction's technique, there is no doubt that the girl is a magician, and she skillfully controls the direction of flight between the jungles, and she is not at all behind the teammates on display, which is enough to see that she is not an ordinary person as a mage. In fact, it was because she discovered the petrified spell killing magic for the first time, and immediately handled the spell for her nearby teammates, so that they were able to escape and ascend to heaven.

"yes...... Those things, if I'm not mistaken, all have the upper body of a human being...... And it's so beautiful, it's hard to understand. ”

Yuri recalls the time when he was attacked by a monster and the team was defeated, so he could only flee in the wilderness. At that time, the demonic beasts that attacked everyone and made their last appearance, although most of their bodies were like aliens, but the part above the waist was undoubtedly a 'human girl'.

"What? Are you hooked on them, Yuri? Is this really ...... Obviously, I have a sexy and beautiful big sister like me by my side, and I have time to watch other girls or something...... Sister, I'm so sad, huh?"

The long-eared fairy woman repeats the action of jumping through the forest, and pretends to be sad in a seductive tone.

"Judith, this is not the time to joke...... you should have seen that just now, right?"

"Yes, yes...... Although I'm not very willing, I admit that the appearance of those monsters is actually more beautiful than my sister and me~~"

"Mr. Carlo, what do you think? If it's not a magical beast in the vicinity, is there a similar species in other places? ”

Yuri kept running at a frenzied pace as he pressed into the boy under his armpit, calling him 'Sensei' because he was a playful little boy with a lot of vanity, and on the other hand, he really admired Carlo's erudition in his knowledge of Warcraft.

"Yes, yes, like gargoyles in the western part of the empire. They have human-like physiques, limbs, and physiognomy...... However, it's completely different from what I just encountered.,Even if you have all the facial features.,Never become a beautiful girl.。 To put it bluntly, I don't believe that there are any beautiful girl monsters in this world at all, the evolution of the body of the monster revolves around 'practicality' and 'rationality', and it looks even more beautiful than the goblin, which is not necessary for the ecological environment of the monster!"

"It's also ~~ If the monsters were all those cute and charming little sisters, you human nobles would have been eager to keep a few as pets. After all, we forest goblins are often abducted by human traffickers, and when I was young, I was listed at a good price in the slave auction house~~"

Even if it is an extremely humiliating memory, but after all, it was a hundred years ago, and the sharp-eared female Judy did not shy away from saying it by example.

"In other words......" Yuri narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then came to a conclusion—"These strange magical beasts are all new species that have only recently appeared in the basin, or even recently born on this continent?"

"There is another possibility......" replied to the magician's short-haired girl, who could be seen to be now pale, and her body was even a little trembling.

"What's the matter, Rita? Yuri deliberately asked in a hearty tone.

"These demonic beasts may not be things from 'this world', but high-level monsters from the 'Illusion World'......!"

"Huh, what is that......? huanjie?"

Yuri doesn't know anything about the common sense of magicians, and he doesn't understand anything terrible about what the girl named Rita is talking about.

"I know the Illusory World. That's the dimensional gap within the ancient [Eight Demon Dragons] seal, right?" replied the young Carlo.

"Little one, you're right. Ancient Demon Dragons, those S+-level Warcraft, in terms of their combat ability as Warcraft, are actually not much higher than S-level Warcraft, but their characteristics are 'immortal and indestructible'. Unless they choose to commit suicide, the souls of demon dragons cannot be completely killed, and even if their bodies are cut into pieces, they will one day be resurrected and reappeared. Therefore, for the sake of eternal peace, they are now sealed in the 'Illusory Realm' with the sealing technique of 'time and space attributes'. ”

To Carlo's answer, Rita added.

"Huh, can't you kill it completely, but...... I also experienced that battle firsthand, and witnessed the moment when the dragon's body collapsed. It couldn't be alive, its body was on the outskirts of Celia right now. ”

"Yuri, I don't comment on that. After all, legends are just legends, I don't have the means to verify the authenticity, and even if what you see is correct, the 'dragon' is a kind of 'snake' after all...... What happens to the snake after it sheds its skin?"

"What......! You, do you want to say that the 'Abyss Dragon' is still alive?" Yuri's eyes widened in disbelief at the magician girl's statement.

"Maybe one day, it will reappear in a new form, but it doesn't matter now! we must try to escape first, but it may be difficult to ......"

"Sure enough, after escaping for so long, the other party's breath is still very close, coming from all directions, but I don't know why, until now we haven't been able to escape from the range of the jungle...... It seems that the forest itself has turned into a labyrinth that can never be escaped. There is no point in running away, and when we run out of energy, there is only one way to die, so it is better to ...... than this."

At this moment, a sharp bird's cry sounded, and the black-haired girl-like demonic beast wrapped in the coat of purple lightning was swooping down from the clouds, and its body turned into a lightning bolt, slashing straight in the direction of Judith.

In the face of the sudden attack without warning, the female elf clan's long ears twitched slightly, and a thrilling spirit dodged the lightning bolt from the air.

Judith, who managed to dodge the killer blow, found a tree trunk again, stood on it in an elegant posture, and looked down at the 'Blackbird Maiden' who had blasted through the crater, and then she set up her spear, exuding a murderous aura that was completely different from before-

"It's better to die and struggle, maybe there is still a way to live!"
