"Monsters, can you describe ......?" Odin asked the guard who knelt in front of him on one knee. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Similar in size to a wolf, it looks like a lizard, and its whole body is covered with vesicles, and there are pinprick manes between the vesicles, and purple skin can be faintly seen between the belly and calves. The guards were terrified.

Hearing this description, Odin already knew what kind of creature it was—it was a low-level demon, the Eater of Demons.

"They are like wolves, they haunt packs and like to bite off people's necks, but they are much better at jumping than wolves - they are in the jungle, they are like ghosts, and no one can catch their tracks. ”

The guard gasped.

"They...... When he tore the human skin, he had a lilac flame on his paws......" At this point, the poor guard shuddered: "We have no power to resist, the flames burn the flesh of the human flesh, and pus continues to flow out......"

"After they kill people...... Lie on top of them and suck the blood dry...... The peasants who were preyed upon were almost all turned into thin human skins......" said the guard, shivering uncontrollably, apparently the terrible scene had brought him a lot of shock.

Odin looked at the guards' wounds, some of which were already scabbed, while others were bleeding milky white pus, evidence of the Eater's attack.

It seemed that what Ursus said was not wrong, and the low-level demons began to stir. Since the ancient demons and humans fought a war of annihilation, the demons were driven to the shadow land, and the human mages built a great wall of spells along the edge of the entire continent to prevent the demons from entering again.

Because the higher the level of the demon race, the slower the reproduction rate, the growth time is tens or even hundreds of times longer than that of humans, and the number is even rarer than that of humans, so the intelligent demons have been expelled completely. There are very few low-level demons left, thriving on the Shuangyue Continent.

Their vitality is tenacious, and their reproductive ability is much stronger than that of high-level demons, so they stubbornly survive on the continent. They have no intelligence, only survival instincts, and eat everything, humans, animals, and even their weaker kind.

They fear power and have been domesticated to be driven by powerful demons.

Because the city-states were protected by magic circles, they could not enter densely populated towns and were good at hiding their tracks, so they were only discovered by a few hunters and farmers, and over time they were regarded as terrible rumors.

The last time there was a commotion in the ghost eater, it was because Odin deliberately spread the demon aura and attracted them.

And this time...... Is it really a good thing that the Nanfeng shaman does?

Thinking of this, Odin reassured the guards: "Don't worry, it's just a weak beast. I'll fix that. ”

The guard bowed silently and was about to leave, but Odin stopped him and said a few more words: "Your wound is infected, let the lord be sure to ask the bird's beak to bleed for you, you report the situation to Carter as soon as possible, and he will take care of it." ”

Odin straightened his grey robe and left the watchtower. He was going to go into the Iron Mountain and find out what was going on.

If it was really the Nanfeng Shamans who wanted to invade the Sunset Empire? The country was really like a hyena, with a keen sense of smell, sensing the smell of decay from the Empire, and wanting to pounce on it and bite off a piece of the Empire's flesh.

But that may not be a bad thing - the city of Paliwa is now in full swing, and all the forces regard it as an enemy, and if the invasion of Nanfeng can be channeled to other city-states and add chaos to the empire, it will save the city from the siege.

Another headache is that the Sanctuary will not sit idly by while its authority is violated, the city of Paliwa has openly declared that it will no longer believe in the true gods, and apostate has sprung up everywhere, and the Sanctuary will definitely send even more powerful forces to eliminate the opposition.

They weren't stupid enough to know who to deal with - from the south to the imperial capital, the so-called "dark warlocks" were at work, and they missed an opportunity last time with the demagogy of Ross and the arrogance of the acolytes, and this time they would not let Odin make another storm.

With this in mind, Odin rode his horse into the depths of the jungle and headed for Deep Valley City.

He didn't want to get into trouble and fight the Eater, so he didn't restrain his breath. The woods were as silent as death, not even the birds could be heard, only the sound of horses' hooves trampling over the grass. It's like a huge monster hiding in the bushes, forcing all creatures to hold their breath.

He found some peculiar footprints, three claws, and scorching marks from the nearby dirt - a sign of a ghost eater's infestation.

He took out a bag of Mithril from his waist, chanted a spell to burn it and melt it, and then used Mithril to draw a circle and arc on the clay floor, sprinkled with ugin and amethyst powder, and inscribed ancient imperial Chinese characters and patterns.

This is a simple spell trap recorded in the spell books that will easily attract power and elements into the circle, which will then be activated, releasing an arc to catch the attacker. The power of this circle is not very strong, but it is more than enough to deal with the ghost eater.

Ghost Eaters naturally release a special purple fire elemental when they are active, so they are automatically captured by the circle regardless of whether they attack the circle or not.

Odin carved traps one by one around the wilderness of Paliva, almost sealing off Paliva's borders in the direction of the Were, and if the Eater entered the jungle, he could only run in another direction - that was the city of the Deep Valley adjacent to Paliva.

This is an extremely tedious task and requires a constant drain of mental energy. Odin spent two nights in the jungle before he was done on the third day.

He had just mounted his horse and was about to return when he heard the sound of an electric arc popping in the distance. He couldn't help but smile and rode his horse in that direction.

When he arrived at his destination, he saw three fanged monsters, entangled in a cloud of dark blue arc light, their vesicles bulging continuously, all the manes on their bodies were tree-grown, and their bodies emitted lilac flames, and they were roaring in a low voice.

However, the more they struggled, the more fire elementals burst out of their bodies, and the circle became brighter and brighter, and the vast web of arcs bound these monsters to death.

The Eater continued to collide in the arc, hissing and wailing, and finally its entire body turned into a lilac fireball, burning violently in the arc. When everything burned out, only three dry skeletons remained, and the light of the circle gradually dimmed as the Eater died, and the arc light turned into a thin arc of electricity, climbing on the grass.

After a quarter of an hour, everything was back to normal, and the circle was hidden under the grass again, waiting for the next pack of prey to arrive.

Odin was very satisfied with this result, assuming that these low-level demons were really controlled by Nanfeng, then their role must be to detect and destroy. The troops of Nan Fung will choose where to attack and how to attack based on the information they feed.

These arrays serve as both counter-reconnaissance and warnings and deterrence. If the Devourer can't enter Paliva, then why would the enemy on the other side of the Werey choose this land? )
