Chapter 151

The all-devouring demon came to the forest of Schulz not so long ago.

The beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the tree-lined black elf village originally lived a warm and peaceful life, but unfortunately, on that day, everything was broken.

On the day of the sacrifice, in the village, it was as if an ink spot had been painted on the white paper, and a dark irregular hole suddenly appeared.

Although it was only a dozen seconds, the people who stayed in the village saw it close, and they also saw the terrifying natural disaster gushing out of the hole.

The army of Devourers is in the thousands, all deadly and vicious.

Creatures with strange shapes and hideous and terrifying appearances are creatures that make people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.

They range in size from small insect monsters that look like snakes and crustaceans that roll and tear apart everything they come across, to unidentified creatures that are taller than bears.

The black elf Yao didn't know how to describe them, and although the village chief named it the all-devouring demon, she felt that the "demon" was more like a group of hungry giant mutant bugs when she saw them.

The non-communicative bug monster has razor-sharp claws that can tear a black elf apart in the blink of an eye. Or grotesque flesh weapons that can catapult hungry parasites into the flesh of their prey.

Every weapon or ammunition they use is a living creature.

They weave a rain curtain of corrosive slime, or tear through any foe that dares to approach with their scythe-like claws.

Whether it's the ferocious beasts of the forest or the subhuman black elves, they all treat them equally, killing and eating all living creatures that stand in their way.

Despite this, most of the black elves who lived in the colony went out for sacrifices, so it ended with only a few men and women sacrificed.

However, those monsters seem to be forever tired and hungry, and have been entrenched in the elven villages, gnawing at everything they encounter.

Yes, everything!

As incredible as it was, the fact that the black elves saw told them that those bug monsters ate not only meat, but also plants, and even dirt.

In just a few days, the elegant and beautiful elven village turned bare at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In order to protect the village, many compatriots who couldn't stand it fought bravely, and the last one died one after another to become food for monsters.

If this continues, the tribe will be destroyed.

The Black Elves abandoned the Forest of Schulz, which had become a hunting ground for swarm monsters, and scattered to seclusion in the surrounding wilderness, ravines, and mountains.

Started a life of hiding from monster attacks every day.

Every day and every night, the sky is guarded, and even the birds that fly by are afraid, and as soon as the horn whistle to warn of the air raid sounds, they can only dig a hole in the ground like a mole and hide inside, and then tremble with terror.

However, the slightest carelessness will be attacked by bugs.

Caves were dug out and sometimes trampled down.

In the morning, the companions who were still greeting each other had been bitten, chewed, and swallowed by insects with hideous mouthparts and corrosive acid in the evening.

For the mournful screams of his companions echoing in his ears, the last cry can only cover his ears with his hands and turn his back, exchange the sacrifice of his friends for precious time to escape, and then move to a more sinister body or a deeper valley to hide.

However, you can't survive just by running away and hiding.

In order to obtain daily food, it is necessary to hunt and gather. However, the hunting grounds of the elves have also become the hunting grounds of the swarms.

When you target your prey, you are also targeted, and when you catch your prey, you become prey together. Avoid this danger and obtain food, the degree of its quality can be imagined.

The bark is thinned, steamed and eaten, and the muddy water is drunk. This kind of lingering days continue every day.

The supplies brought out of the villages were quite scarce. Looking at the gradually lighter fruit cage and gradually uneasy, with a tragic realization, the young archers continued to the hunting grounds.

"The Reborn Financial Giant"

But an extra meal a day means a new victim.

The cries of the children who lost their parents, the voices of the parents who lost their daughters and sons cursing and devouring demons did not disappear for a day.

Although there are also those who take up swords and bows with vengeful anger and challenge despair.

But, like tying eggs together and throwing them at a boulder, their challenge only increases the sacrifice.

Elven magic, silver arrows, and strong armor could not penetrate the opponent's body. And the enemy's various strange attacks make the black elves unguardable.

Originally, they thought that the magic sword of the village treasure had some hope, but they did not expect to encounter a monster in the swarm that could spray flames and blow enemies to pieces.

The black elves were terrified, because it was the first time they had encountered such a crazy enemy, and no matter what they did, it seemed that nothing would help, but only strengthened the other party's power.

In just two or three days, there were only three or four hundred people left in the tribe that once had a population of thousands of people.

Despair and nothingness bind the hearts of the Black Elves.

If this continues, the once-thriving Black Elf tribe could all be wiped out.

However, if you ask the Empire for help, it is unlikely that you will get help. And even if the troops are dispatched, in the face of such a powerful enemy, ordinary human soldiers are simply vulnerable in front of them. Without an army of tens of thousands, the Black Elves didn't think they would have a chance to win.

That is until they hear the wandering bard, who tells the Black Elves that someone in Itarica has defeated the Flame Dragons and even established an academy of magicians.

Someone has defeated the terrifying flame dragon, a large number of magicians!

These two pieces of information gave hope to all the black elf races that had fallen into despair.

Then, the elven tribe that was hiding tightly decided to send a messenger.

The man sent has a heavy responsibility to find a way to escape from the clutches of the swarm, relying only on rumors to find the location of Itarika Psionic Academy.

This requires strong mental strength and a sense of responsibility, as well as excellent survival skills.

Those who were sent pinned their hopes on all members of the Black Elf tribe. Asking for reinforcements from the Psionic Academy will be successful no matter what means you use. Defeat would mean the extinction of the clan, your countrymen and your friends.

Such a heavy responsibility cannot be fulfilled by ordinary people. At the same time, you need to have the corresponding martial arts, a strong character, and a firm sense of mission that will not give up halfway.

Gather the few young people in the tribe and sift through them.

Adhering to the hope of one more person, the Black Elf Tribe elected a total of ten people, one of whom is Yao? Tixiu.

Together, they took on this mission as the backbone of the village with excellent magical abilities, outstanding bow and arrow skills, and strong personalities.

As a candidate, Yao is the only female black elf among them. Skills, talents, and character are all of an excellent level. And considering that if you ask for help, a very attractive elf woman will be more advantageous.

However, there was a rare hesitation on the part of the village chief when it came to choosing Yao.

Because Yao has the only fatal flaw, her luck doesn't seem to be good. The village chief didn't know if the selection of her this time would make the other party encounter an accident as soon as he went out.

When hunting, Yao stepped on traps more easily than anyone else, and the trees she cut down always fell in her direction.

It was raining when I was traveling, and the shop was closed when I went to town to buy something.

The lover was slept away by his friend, and the childhood sweetheart man finally got married after twists and turns, but died suddenly on the eve of the wedding.

Frankly speaking, her luck may have died early on the average person.

This is a fact that everyone admits, but because of this, the black elf Yao is different from her compatriots who like to pursue pleasure and art, she works harder and more seriously than anyone else every day, so the elders can't let the other party lose the election on the grounds of bad luck.

Before leaving, the elders made clear why they chose to send women. Then, ask a few people if they have the consciousness to give themselves as a reward to each other if necessary.

This kind of payment, in normal times, is impossible and will not be a price that the black elves are willing to accept, but Yao was the first to accept it without the slightest hesitation.

If the other party can really save the black elves, as long as the other party asks, whether it is a slave, a lover, a woman, or a maid, she has no complaints.

Seeing such determination, Yao became the best candidate among them, so even if he was unlucky, it was worth taking a risk.

With a hint of unease, the elders sent ten people out together.

Since it is about the future life and death of the tribe. Then there is no point in stinging with the reward. Therefore, the elders took out all the property in the tribal treasury and entrusted it to ten people.

However, six out of ten people were devoured by the swarm of insects that caught up after them within a few steps. The rest of them are either missing or going in the wrong direction.

Only the black elf Yao, after overcoming various difficulties in the set of bad luck, finally arrived in Italika.

After the detailed entrustment information was finished, even after drinking just now, everyone's faces were still a little pale and their lips were dry.

The original luck and suspicion were shattered by the cold and cruel facts narrated by the black elves.

Just hearing the simple description, their hearts were already beating faster and they were terrified, let alone going up to fight each other in person.

Black elves are born immortals with outstanding magical potential, and they are powerful warriors when they become adults.

With such strength, they were vulnerable to the enemies they faced, and in just a few encounters, almost all the fighters sent out were killed and their bones were gone.

Where is this bug, it is clearly a natural disaster as terrifying as the Yanlong.

No wonder the Black Elves are looking for warriors and powerful magicians who can slay dragons.

With such monsters, ordinary mercenaries may just add food to each other.

"I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky, the dragon slayer warriors and psionic academy you're looking for are all in Itarica, and you can see them not far away when you reach the inner city." The frightened dwarf took a long sip of wine, and pointed out the direction for the black elf with a solemn expression.

"Really?"

"That's great!"

After getting the confirmed information, Yao was pleasantly surprised.

Frankly, she had always been skeptical that Itarica was able to defeat the dragons with a large number of magicians.

Rumors may swell because of people's hopes and pursuits.

In order not to let her heart be shattered by despair, she has always considered what to do if the rumor is a rumor.

And now, the dwarf's words proved that his journey was not in vain and became a guarantee of hope.

In this way, Yao felt that his mission was almost accomplished.

Just go straight to your destination, then find reinforcements and do everything you can to convince the other side.

No matter how difficult it was, it was only a small thing compared to the hard work so far. In this way, the companions and people of the tribe will be saved.

Yao made up his mind in his heart and took a step in the direction of the street indicated by the dwarf.

Passing through the noisy streets, the steps become brisk and the speed is getting faster and faster. It was like I couldn't wait, and it gradually turned into a trot. Then, finally, it turned into a run that cut the wind through the class, and gradually ran in the direction of the inner city.

As soon as his own words fell, the dwarf who watched the black elf disappear quickly into his eyes was stunned with a wine glass, and finally reluctantly poured another sip of wine.

"Hey, good luck!"

Itarica, where there was no distinction between the inner and outer cities, was no longer able to accommodate a large number of caravans, mercenaries, and even travelers from all over the world who came here to make a fortune.

Therefore, in the outer area of the former city wall, there was a spontaneous gathering of people and shops, and later, after Shen Sen's replanning, a large number of facilities began to be built, and the humble suburbs became orderly towns.

Therefore, later people called the first urban area the inner city, and later the new city was called the outer city.

Although they both belong to Itarica, their attributes differ due to the spontaneous choice of the populace.

When Shen Sen built a large number of modern facilities and buildings within the original town, Itarica's shops and places for entertainment and rest activities were basically moved to the outer city.

All that remains of the inner city is the larger and larger supply center, psionic college, military camp, and government center.

Most of the people who lived in the inner city were soldiers, civil servants and researchers, magicians and apprentices in the fantasy world, and nobles who were trained everywhere.

As the central area, as Shen Sen's influence in this place grows, a large number of merchants entrusted by Shen Sen will come here every day to trade, leaving information and scarce specialties, and taking away their share of the goods.

Even at night, when the black elf Yao walked in, she was startled by the endless prosperity of this place.

After groping around, after finding someone to ask for information, Yao learned that he wanted to enter the Psionic Academy, and was told that "you can find any soldiers in black and gray combat uniforms on the street, and they will take you there." ”

However, after trying it once, she had a bit of a headache.

Because when I talked to everyone in black and gray clothes while wandering on the street, I only got the result of a language barrier.

Everyone is the same, they can only show an indescribable wry smile, and they always show an ambiguous attitude towards her words that they don't know whether they understand or don't understand.

Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to understand, and even if he tried his best to say it, in the end, he still fell into the same dilemma of not being able to communicate.
