Happy people from Blue Star

A campfire was burning at the bottom of the circular vertical pit.

Next to them, there were three people sitting.

This is a simple wilderness survival measure that Hardy came up with using magic. This method can make the effect of the flame more concentrated and the heat will not be easily lost.

The maids Aisha and Neferti were very close to the campfire because they felt cold. After all, they were just ordinary people and it was indeed a little unbearable to be in such a cold wilderness.

If Hardy was alone, he should have returned to Basov City by now. After all, after he transformed into the Nightmare Knight, he didn't need much rest and could almost travel the entire distance.

But it was different when taking the two of them with him, as they needed to rest. Also, because they were ordinary people, he couldn't run too fast when carrying them, because the faster he ran, the bumpier it would be, and their bodies wouldn't be able to bear it.

You can only slow down.

Therefore, due to the double effect, the three of them have not even completed half of the journey.

The warm campfire warmed Neferti's body. She lay on the ground, her head resting on Aisha's thigh, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Aisha stroked the little girl's hair lovingly, then frowned slightly.

She looked at Hadi and whispered, "Sir, can you help us get some water? I want to boil some warm water to wipe the young lady's hair and body."

"I'll use magic to create some water..."

"Don't waste it." Aixia whispered, "When you are out and about, there are many places where you can solve problems with simple methods. Just use simple methods to solve them."

Aisha is actually very smart. She knows that Hardy is very strong, but no matter how strong a person is, he has his limits.

For example, Hardy can obviously use magic to create fire, but why is he using a campfire to keep them warm now? It must be because magic also has consumption. It can be used in emergencies, but it cannot be used all the time.

Hadi nodded slightly, what Aisha said was indeed correct.

It is true that his current magical power is only about two-thirds, and he is in the wilderness with two women, so he doesn't dare to use meditation to restore his mental strength.

You can only wait for the passive rest to recover.

We are still about halfway to Basov, so just in case, we have to save as much magic power as possible.

Ha jumped up from the bottom of the pit, took out two buckets from his system backpack, and went to the lake to get water.

At this time he discovered that the edge of the lake had begun to freeze.

"The world is getting colder." Hardy shook his head helplessly.

When he first came into this world, the water in the lake was only slightly cool.

It has been only about half a year now, and the temperature in the wild has already dropped to near freezing point.

He carried two buckets of water, returned to the pit, and was about to jump in, but suddenly he squatted down subconsciously.

Because he opened the mental network and saw that 300 meters ahead, a team of unknown race passed by.

Eleven intelligent spiritual beings.

Hardy jumped down to the bottom of the pit and put out the campfire.

This is another advantage of lighting a fire at the bottom of a pit. The flames are not easily spotted by people far away. If you light a fire on flat ground, you might be able to see it from kilometers away.

Everything in front of her was completely dark. Aisha suddenly hugged Neferti and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Hardy said: "There is a team heading this direction. I don't know if they are looking for us or just passing by."

Without the campfire, the temperature around them gradually became colder. Aisha folded up the blanket and hugged Neferti to help her sleep more comfortably.

"I hope they're not here to find us." Aisha sighed.

She felt that Hardy was very strong, but because of her knowledge, she believed that Hardy was only strong among the human race. Other powerful races should be able to defeat Hardy.

As for Hardy's ability to transform into an eight-meter-tall black knight...she had heard that a powerful fear demon could grow to more than ten meters tall.

A single spell from a bone demon could destroy a city. Therefore... being tall is very powerful, but it is not an important sign of being strong.

"I'll put the water here first, you stay here and don't make any noise."

Aisha nodded.

She couldn't actually see anything, after all, she had no dark vision, so she could only listen to the sound to identify Hardy's approximate location.

Then Hardy jumped up again and walked towards the person who was coming.

He hid behind a big tree and waited there quietly.

Not long after, after a while, several footsteps of varying heaviness slowly approached.

As they approached, Hardy could already see what they looked like.

A group of succubi.

Ten succubi walked slowly in front with staggering steps.

And behind them was a very strange-looking race.

Hardy had never seen this thing.

The other person looked human-like, but had no hair and a face shaped like a donkey, but there were several fleshy tentacles around its mouth, which looked very strange.

However, I heard that many races have disappeared in the Demon Realm's darkness for more than 10,000 years, so it is normal that I have not seen them.

Hardy also discovered that the other party was holding a strange magic prop in his hand, which emitted a faint light. Because it was very weak, it could only be discovered when you got close.

Later, Hardy discovered that the succubus also had these collars with magical glow hanging around its neck.

Slave...caravan?
Hardy didn't want to get involved in this matter. Succubi, as a medium-sized race in the demon world, also have good strength. But now all ten of them have been captured. It seems that the donkey-faced race should be quite powerful.

He has two women with him now and doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

Just as Hadi was about to leave, he suddenly heard a succubus whisper, "Agrenna, where is he taking us?"

The succubus walking in the front whispered, "I don't know, maybe we can go to the next city and pick up customers to make money."

"How disgusting." The succubus who spoke first had a disgusted but weak tone.

But even in a weak tone, there was a hint of charm.

"You are top-class succubi, how could you possibly entertain guests?" The donkey-faced man at the back laughed and said, "You will be the breeding ground for the eldest prince, and give birth to powerful offspring for him."

The expressions of these succubi became strange.

The succubus at the front, who was also the largest jelly, said, "This place is far from the royal city, but we would probably be exhausted by the time we get there."

"Don't worry, when we get to the next city, the prince will open the portal to that city and take you...someone!"

The donkey-faced man suddenly screamed, the smile on his face froze, and he looked in horror as a black shadow rushed towards him.

The magical energy that had just gathered in his hands also quickly dissipated.

A long sword pierced his heart, blue blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and then his eyes gradually lost focus, and he fell backwards, and a huge amount of magic power disappeared.

The person who suddenly appeared was naturally Hardy.

He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but when he heard that this was the eldest prince's "goods", he had to take care of it.

He leaned over, took the magic item from the donkey-faced man's hand, then turned around and looked at the ten succubi.

They also looked over, their eyes full of surprise. (End of this chapter)
