Because his mere level one warrior strength was insufficient to pierce Serfal's tough dragon hide, and everyone else unanimously agreed that he should cut it open instead of spilling blood into the room.
“In short!” Artemis said seriously, “Even if we all combine our strength, we can’t defeat this red dragon. If you break the dragon egg, I will have to pay with my life!”
"No, it's not that serious..." Latis awkwardly put down the tetanus knife in his hand and was pushed and shoved by the half-elf back to Yashutia's workshop.
"I have this feeling that there's a subtle smile playing at the corners of Ate's lips. Am I seeing things?"
Latis looked at Ateliers, whose heels bounced lightly as she walked, and shook his head.
"Ate's become a bit more lively, could it be because there are more girls in the group now? I bet it's very possible! He's a young man with a tragic past, and encountering all these different kinds of girls could very well make him fall for them!"
Latis sighed and, with a heavy heart, pushed the lever in the alchemy hut. More than twenty large, hairy legs began to run shakily under his control, advancing towards their destination in the falling night.
"As his best buddy from school, I really don't want him to fall into a woman's clutches. Damn it, I can be a jerk, but I, La, will absolutely not let a woman into my life!"
A feeling of accomplishment made him scratch his head involuntarily. He looked at the small blackboard hanging beside him, stroked his chin, and said:
"The first stop is... Cugen Village?"
……
Cugen Village is located on the southeastern border of Senhai Territory, which resembles the base of a tree trunk. It has a permanent population of less than 100 people, and the area that can be considered a public activity area is less than 4,000 square meters. It is so small that a soldier could mark the entire village after urinating a few times.
[I'm selling ditch in Atlantis: Guys, has anyone been to the village of thick roots in Senhailing?]
In the forum for protecting against good and evil, Latis posted his message.
Although he already knew that as a cyber police officer he could leave messages in any forum, as a socially awkward person, he still preferred to go to places he was familiar with.
[Captain Jenny: Good evening, Gouzi! Why are you in Crude Root Village? Didn't we say last time we were going to come directly to Lundia through the portal in Dragon Horn Territory?]
[I'm selling ditch in Atlantis: ...The portal has broken out, it's a long story. By the way, Jenny, do you know Thick Root Village?]
[Turtle Shell Rams Kami: We're quite familiar with each other; that's where the warriors landed during their round-the-world journey in the Forest Territory.]
[Captain Jenny: Yes, we often parted ways with the soldiers there. They continued westward toward the coastline, while we headed north back to Lundia.]
[Ark Shield Bro: This is the only route that students who have completed missions in Dragonhorn Territory must take back to Lundia. However, once they reach a higher level, they usually choose to bypass Coarse Root Village and head directly to Hard Stem City.]
[Master Roshi on the Trail: Bro, still on your way back to Rondia? The warriors on their round-the-world tour are passing through Thickroot Village these next couple of days. Want to join them? It's only twenty gold whites.]
[I'm selling ditch in Atlantis: I appreciate the offer, but I'm a pure mage and can't really hang out with warriors.]
[Captain Jenny: Get lost, you bastard! We knights admire Gouzi's untainted spirit. If Gouzi wants to pursue a support mage path in the future, he could consider forming an offensive/defensive team with me. I'll attack, you'll defend; our combat power will definitely double. The offensive/defensive teams can choose the same annual mission on the same magic network—it's a great deal!]
[I'm selling my genitals in Atlantis: I still prefer the top to the bottom, but thank you, I'll consider it, Jenny Jenny.]
Latis shut down the magic network and pondered silently:
"This system of the magic network is indeed a major benefit to the magical world. Wherever the magic network is spread, the living environment and development prospects of mages should be greatly improved. I'm really curious why the Black Hat organization is so persistent in destroying the magic network..."
Roar!
A frenzied roar suddenly came from not far away. Latis looked at the startled birds taking flight one after another in the sky and narrowed his eyes.
……
"Help, help me!..."
With tears streaming down her face, Ge Ying, a girl with two braids, strained to find her way in the afterglow of the setting sun. Behind her, a wolf with its fur standing on end like thorns was clinging to her not far away.
Click!
In her panic, Ge Ying stepped onto a rotten, withered stump. The decaying wood collapsed instantly, and she fell to the ground, completely disoriented. She could only crawl forward in a daze.
The wolf's long, pointed face revealed a sinister, almost human-like curve. Instead of killing the girl outright, it deliberately let out a mournful howl not far behind her, urging her to run away like a vengeful ghost.
Suddenly, it sniffed the damp smell in the air, glanced at the wet stains on the girl's leggings, then chirped contentedly twice, opened its sharp beak, and bit down hard on the girl's lower abdomen.
"Fear, wonder, food... only this is enough, delicious!"
The wolf thought intermittently. It closed its eyes, about to enjoy the delicate texture of the human girl, and clenched its lips, but instead of the expected wet, slippery flesh and warm liquid, it opened its eyes in surprise and found that something strange was stuck on its mouth.
"Little Black, did you really make this?"
A rough voice rang out beside the demon wolf, causing it to immediately bristle and spring to its feet, arching its back and looking warily at the man next to it whose chest was ripped open, exposing most of his breasts.
"Yes, sometimes I also craft some simple equipment like this, just to relax during the break from making magic scrolls."
"Could you really be a genius?" Latis said with a subtle admiration, then turned to look at the gag-like object on the wolf's mouth.
"Well, looking at it this way, suddenly wolves don't seem so bad after all..."
Latis thought to himself, then immediately adopted a purely inquisitive attitude and asked seriously:
What are the effects of this thing?
"Hmm, let me think..." Yashutia hid behind a tree not far away, rubbing her black curly hair. "Back then, it seems that what was left was the larvicides of the Strange-Talking Frog and the belly skin of the Alluring Frog, so the effect of this should be..."
"Master, I'm hungry! Hurry up and stuff your big muscles into me..."
Latis swiftly pinched the wolf's mouth shut.
"Thank goodness, we almost couldn't broadcast it."
He casually rubbed the sweat from his armpits without batting an eye and said in a completely natural, relaxed tone:
"I'll take this and study it."
Seeing Yashutia nod blankly, Latis turned back guiltily and loosened his grip on the gag.
"You wretched master, I'll eat all your flesh! I'll drink all your fluids!..."
Latis immediately punched the wolf and, taking advantage of its stunned state, swiftly removed the weapon.
"This vague language definitely refers to flesh and blood; there's nothing strange about it."
He silently looked at the red gag in his hand and discreetly slipped it into his pocket.
"Magic is truly amazing!"
Latis looked up at the setting sun on the horizon, and for a moment, inspired by poetry, he exclaimed:
"The sun is a giant slam dunk / After the world put it on / The sun died us."
Chapter 49 Are you also the kind of woman who sleeps with anyone...?
[First-Circle Spell - Disease Ray: Casts a disgusting green ray, poisoning the target.]
【Awooga (Forest Wolf) #Online】
The moment the conspicuous small print appeared, a sudden sense of alarm arose in Latis's heart. His warrior muscle memory made him instantly twist his hips and use the momentum of a spinning bird to perform a move called "Hawk somersault," narrowly avoiding the ray.
"Plant Guardians!"
Artemis's low, angry voice rang out, and then the green vines covering the mountains and fields instantly coalesced into a thick, long python, binding the demon wolf tightly.
The sharp branch twisted into a forked snake's tongue and pierced straight into the wolf's mouth, instantly robbing the wolf of its howling ability to roar.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Artemis leaped from the treetop and landed in front of Latis.
"Don't worry about me." Latis calmly steadied the hawk, which was twitching a bit, and patted Ateliers's shoulder. "But you, your injuries haven't healed yet, and you've bled again with this movement."
Artemis breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced down at the dark red bloodstains on her black robe and said nonchalantly:
"Don't worry, brother, the elves heal very quickly."
"Really?" Latis asked skeptically. Seeing the half-elf nod with absolute certainty, he could only sigh and look at the dire wolf, whispering:
"A liar's penis is ten centimeters shorter."
He glanced at the indifferent half-elf, then relaxed and looked at the prompt on the magic network.
"The Demon Wolf of the Forest, that name reminds me of a philosopher I knew..."
"No, no, no." Latis shook his head violently, trying to clear his mind. "What are you thinking, Latis! Shouldn't the point be that monsters can also connect to the magic network?!"
"I was just thinking about this! Magic Network, are you also the kind of person who sleeps with anyone... cough cough cough, well, what exactly happened..."
He hesitated for a moment, then tried touching the link switch on the demon wolf.
【Awooga (Forest Wolf) #Offline】
As the prompt changed, the wolf's eyes widened instantly, and it began to struggle and whimper with the branch stuck deep in its throat, its entire body radiating intense panic.
"Quiet!"
Artemis shouted angrily, and with a flick of her gloved hand, the vine python lashed the wolf's belly with its thick tail. The wolf's eyes rolled back and it fell unconscious.
"Ahem." Latis glanced awkwardly at the demon wolf, then whispered to Atelius:
"Arte, can you talk to animals? I want to ask the monsters in the forest some questions."
"Animal communication?" Ateliers looked puzzled but didn't delve into it. After thinking for a moment, she replied:
"Once we get to the village, I'll ask them if they know any trace of the Insightful Bird. Back when there were many old-school mages, many magical materials were extremely rare. But now the magical ecosystem has almost recovered. If I'm lucky, I can inscribe this spell tonight."
“Okay.” Latis nodded, then looked at the little girl still hiding in the tree hole not far away. “Speaking of Thick Root Village, this must be a villager here.”
A glint flashed in Artemis's eyes, and she nodded slightly.
……
"Brother Cat, Uncle Stinky Feet, Sister Painted Face, please come and save poor little Ge Ying!"
"Ge Ying is going to die! She's going to be eaten by that stinky wolf with the worst mouth! Waaaaah!"
"If Ge Ying dies, no one will pick mushrooms for you! Please, please save Ge Ying!"
The girl buried her head in the mound of earth inside the tree hole, while her buttocks, which hadn't managed to hide inside, were sticking out and trembling violently.
I really want to slap her...
Latis used his strong willpower to suppress the inexplicable impulse. He cleared his throat and shouted:
"Little sister, it's alright now, the monster has been defeated! Come out now."
"Ah!" Upon hearing his voice, the girl trembled even more violently, screaming and shouting:
"Help! That stinky wolf is speaking human language! His voice is awful! Ge Ying is going to be eaten!"
"Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive!" Latis tightly grabbed his right hand, which was about to swing out, and advised, "Children say whatever comes to mind! As a thirty-year-old office worker, you need to learn to be patient! It's not like I'm smashing your assembled mecha girl!"
He exhaled, calmly lowered his hand, slowly walked to the tree hole, and gently knocked on it.
