Volume 1, Becoming a Demon in Another World Chapter 4, Tracked Down
In the vast wasteland, there is no border in sight.
There are all kinds of powerful demonic beasts living on this wasteland, and the wasteland is close to the demons, so except for well-equipped and powerful mercenaries and adventurers, ordinary races do not dare to wander in this wasteland.
.........
After all, in the eyes of many weak races, the demons are one of the most unprovoked races, because they are naturally hideous, that is, bloody and brutal, although the higher demons are not as ugly as they think.
But the low-level demons really look like hideous, and because they are born with strong bodies, most of them are more bloodthirsty and ferocious.
Especially in the previous wars with the Terrans, it was even more rude and bloodthirsty of the demons, because the demon soldiers often tore the Terran soldiers apart on the battlefield, so it is reasonable for those small races to be afraid of the demons.
However, at this time, next to a stream in the wasteland, an adventure team with more than a dozen people was resting by the stream, although there were only about a dozen people, the lineup was very professional, including magicians, warriors, priests, hunters, and two wood spirit girls with bows and arrows, obviously this was a very perfect adventure team, and from their sophisticated equipment, it was not difficult to see that the combat effectiveness of this adventure team must be quite strong.
"Captain Barlow, further ahead will be to the border of the demons, if you go further, it is likely that there will be demons, my suggestion is that we can't go any further, a middle-aged man dressed in a hunter's costume said to a burly man in armor.
The burly man lowered his head and thought: We came out to look for Miss this time, if we don't find it, we will go back, I'm afraid we won't be able to make a difference, and according to the clues of Miss's last disappearance, it is likely that we have entered the territory of the Demon Clan, and if we can act carefully, we may not encounter the Demon Clan.
"So I decided to continue to move forward carefully, what do you all think?"
All the team members glanced at each other and didn't speak, even if the captain had already decided, even if the other team members were unwilling, it was not good to oppose on the spot, after all, this time they came with their lives, and if they couldn't find Miss, they would be severely punished if they went back.
Moreover, the captain is generally held by someone with high prestige, strength and experience, so once the captain makes a decision, it is difficult for him to refute anything as a team member.
However, just as everyone was about to pack up their things and prepare to leave, suddenly the middle-aged hunter moved his ears, immediately prostrate on the ground, and motioned to the other team members not to make a sound, and then put his ears to the ground and listened for a while.
Then he looked at the burly man and said: "Captain, there is a group of people running towards us from the demon clan in front, and from their messy footsteps, it doesn't look like a demon or a demon beast, but more like a group of ordinary humans." ”
Captain Barlow immediately frowned and said, "Clean up the traces of the scene, scatter and hide, and be ready for battle at any time." ”
After waiting for a while, I saw a group of panicked and ragged humans running and appearing in the sight of this group of adventurers, and when this group of humans saw the stream in front of them from a distance, all men and women shouted excitedly, and then ran towards the stream desperately, burying their heads in the water and drinking bitterly regardless of the image, and then some people cried bitterly.
Captain Barlow, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, pondered for a moment, when did a forceless human refugee appear on the wasteland, and then stood up, beckoned all the adventurers to appear with weapons and surrounded the hundred or so humans.
Suddenly there were screams one after another, and in an instant, a group of people crowded together, trembling at the group of adventurers who suddenly appeared in front of them.
After seeing that there was no danger, Captain Barlow motioned to the surrounding team members to put down their weapons.
Then he asked in his shelly voice, "Who are you, and why did you appear on the border of this demon clan for no reason."
At this time, a little old man with a goatee stood up from the crowd, bent down and said in a trembling voice: "Fellow warriors, we were originally foot merchants on the border of the wasteland, and we were captured here by those god-killing demons on the edge of the wasteland the day before. ”
When Barlow heard this, he suddenly had a question in his heart, as far as I know, although the demons often do this kind of captivity, but they have never left a living mouth, but judging from the reactions of these people, it seems that they are not lying.
Therefore, he asked, "Even if the demon clan captured you, then how did you escape?" It is obviously impossible to escape from the demon clan based on their words, because even a few demon soldiers are not something that ordinary people like him can resist.
"Back to the words of the lords, the reason why the demons let us go is all due to a human girl, because those damned demons said that if that girl didn't obey him, they would kill all of us, and now it seems that the beautiful girl has been defiled by the evil demon race. After the old man said this, he broke down and wept bitterly, looking very sad.
When the group of adventurers heard this, their eyes were even more angry, but they were more worried, if that girl was their young master, it was likely that she would have been tainted by now.
Thinking of this, he hated to kill the demons immediately and shatter those despicable demons into thousands of pieces.
Although Barlow is also extremely angry in his heart, because he is the captain, Chengfu's knowledge is not comparable to ordinary people, and his mind will be more calm.
Therefore, after listening to the old story, he always felt that something was wrong, because in terms of the despicability of the demon race, even if the demon clan got the body of the human girl, he would never let these humans leave, and he would definitely torture and kill these useless humans afterwards.
As the captain of the adventure team, Barlow is extremely thoughtful, so he asked all the team members to inquire about this group of humans, and they did not let go of what happened to them in the demon town.
And when the old man with the goatee said that the girl was holding a purple guqin, the whole party members looked extremely anxious, because the young lady also had a black qin.
When Barlow asked again to know more, he only got some, pretty, good-looking, fairy-like answers, but no other useful information.
"By the way, the girl was still wearing a white dress with a big purple and blue bird on it. Just then, a timid and weak middle-aged man stood up and said, although they were captured by the demons at that time, he had never seen such a beautiful girl, and he couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.
"What kind of big bird? Is it a purple-blue ice phoenix?" Even Captain Karl, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but grab the middle-aged man's hand and ask with excitement at this moment.
"Ice ...... I haven't read a book, and I don't know what an ice phoenix looks like. The middle-aged man was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and he said to himself, maybe we would have met a gang of robbers again.
Balobi also realized his gaffe, but because this time it was about the future, he was a little out of shape, and then he drew the ice phoenix on the ground, but asked the middle-aged man again.
"Yes, it's such a big bird. Seeing this picture, the middle-aged man hurriedly confirmed.
The adventurers standing next to Barlow suddenly became extremely excited, and their faces were even more happy.
You've all heard it, then the human girl must be a young lady, what do you think, let's talk about it."
"Captain, we might as well fight, if we can't save the young lady alive, even if we return to the Ice Phoenix Pavilion at that time, we will not be able to escape punishment, it is better to fight," one of the team members said.
"Captain, we agree. The other team members agreed in unison.
"Cold Knife, what do you think?" asked Barlow as he looked at the middle-aged hunter.
