Chapter 373 Monster Fight
Originally, Duanmuhuai planned to hide from the wind and snow in a cave and wait until the weather cleared before hitting the road, but...
"The first snow in 2002 came later than before..."
Looking at the howling snowstorm outside the cave, Duanmuhuai was speechless except for singing. Counting the time, they had been in the cave for a day and a night, but the heavy snow still showed no intention of stopping.
Hey, it would be great if Gu Leiya was here. Duanmu Huai remembered that there was a trick in her dragon roar that could make the weather beautiful with just one roar... Forget it, it didn't matter since she didn't have it.
"Okay, let's go."
Duanmuhuai tidied up and then stood up. Although the snow has not stopped, we still have to move on, and according to the laws of the elves, generally speaking, rare species will appear in such bad weather. Besides, for ordinary people, climbing mountains in such a climate is tantamount to suicide, but for Duanmuhuai, this is certainly nothing.
In fact, even the thinly-clad rabbit was still jumping around in this climate - a real rabbit would probably have been frozen to death.
As the howling blizzard rushed towards him, Duanmuhuai raised his head and stepped forward step by step. He didn't know much about mountaineering skills, but Duanmu Huai didn't need it. After all, even if he didn't understand mountaineering, he still understood that the straight line between two points was the shortest. As long as he kept going straight to the top of the mountain, that would be enough.
Of course, mountains in snowstorms are very dangerous, just like now...
“Boom, boom, boom!!!”
The howling blizzard collapsed from the mountain, rushing towards Duanmu Huai and the others like a wave. This was one of the most terrifying disasters on the mountain. In the face of its infinite power, mortals had no power to resist.
Well, mortals.
“Drink——ha!!!”
Facing the oncoming avalanche, Duanmu Huai roared angrily, clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it forward. The next moment, he saw a roaring air wave rushing forward, directly hitting the oncoming snow wave. Wear it right. Then everyone saw the snow waves in front of them explode suddenly, scattering on both sides in the blink of an eye, and there was no more movement.
"Okay, let's move on."
Duanmuhuai put down his fist and continued to move forward, while Tutu kept clapping his hands behind him.
"Wow, Master is so powerful, so powerful!"
"Indeed...it's hard to imagine..."
The maid also became emotional after seeing this scene. This is not the first time they have encountered an avalanche. At the beginning, the maid planned to fulfill her duty as a demon to protect Duanmu Huai. Unexpectedly, Duanmu Huai exploded the avalanche of air into pieces with a backhand punch. There was no danger at all.
I have to say that the maid was also shocked when she saw this scene. You must know that ordinary monster familiars do not have much power, so they need monsters. But Duanmu Huai's power far exceeds theirs. Even the maid can be sure that even a high-level rare girl monster will probably not be her opponent...
"Master, why do you want to become a monster?"
Now following Duanmu Huai, the maid became more and more confused as she thought about it, so she couldn't help but raise her own questions. From the maid's perspective, male humans want to become monster users for no more than a few purposes. Either he wants to become powerful, or he simply likes girl monsters, or he likes beautiful women and wants to use girl monsters as his slaves.
But according to the maid's observation, Duanmu Huai doesn't seem to be like this. He is already very powerful. At least in the maid's opinion, she has never seen a girl monster stronger than Duanmu Huai in her memory. And he didn't seem to particularly like girl monsters. They had encountered several similar girl monsters along the way, but Duanmu Huai seemed to only look at them a few times, then read the illustrated book, and then left. , it seems that he does not want to accept all the girl monsters like many monster users.
This is natural. Duanmu Huai mainly wanted to find a few assistants, but the girls he met were either not suitable for him or were fighting girl monsters. Although they were quite good-looking, Duanmu Huai did not intend to accept them all. .
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the familiar and the master who had made the contract would live and die together, Duanmuhuai would have planned to release the rabbit into the wild.
"I have a monster I want to tame, so I became a monster user."
Duanmu Huai said as he moved forward.
"A monster you want to tame?"
Hearing this, the maid suddenly became interested. In her opinion, the person targeted by a powerful monster user like Duanmu Huai must also be a very powerful girl monster.
"So, what monster do you want to tame?"
"Oh, Demon King."
"……………Why?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the maid couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Sorry, the wind was too loud and I couldn't hear clearly...
"Master, I'm sorry, that... I seem to have heard wrongly. You mean... the Demon King?"
"That's right."
Duanmuhuai nodded.
"The Demon King is also a monster, right? So since the Monster User can make a contract with a monster, he should be able to conquer the Demon King, right?"
"is that so?"
Facing Duanmu Huai's words, the maid also felt like her head was in a mess.
For monsters, the Demon King is their emperor, the supreme ruler. Indeed, if you ask ordinary people whether the emperor is a human being... then he is definitely a human being, but people usually think of the emperor first, and don't think about this kind of thing. First, it is treasonous, and second,... what's the point of thinking? Is there anyone who can subdue the Demon King as a familiar?
However, at the moment, there is actually a monster master who intends to make the Demon King a familiar!
Thinking of this, the maid looked at Duanmu Huai with shock and disbelief.
More importantly, this monster master seems to be able to do it!
If he can really make the Demon King or the demon as his familiar, then he has erected an unparalleled monument for the later monster masters!
A monster master who can subdue the Demon King! This is simply a legendary existence!
Of course, I don't know if it will succeed.
"Gah, gah!"
After that, the group walked for a while, and then they heard screams not far away. Duanmu Huai led everyone to the place where the sound came from, and found that on a flat ground not far away, there were two groups of boy monsters fighting.
After seeing the postures of the monsters on both sides clearly, the maid couldn't help but frowned in disgust.
"It's the squid monster and the octopus monster..."
"It's really strange. Aren't these two aquatic races? Why did they run to this mountain?"
Duanmu Huai also looked forward and looked at the monsters fighting on both sides.
Although boy monsters are also monsters, they are different from girl monsters. Boy monsters are very ugly. Take the octopus monster and squid monster that are fighting now. The octopus monster is an octopus body, and then grows human hands and feet. The squid monster has a squid head and a human body... In short, they are not very good-looking.
Not only that, boy monsters are not very popular with most races.
The reason is very simple. Boy monsters are not only ugly (ugliness is the original sin), but also very rough and tough. They like to attack other races and capture other races to force them to reproduce. Especially girl monsters, once they fall into their hands, they become their egg-laying machines, so for girl monsters, the most annoying thing is boy monsters.
And because these boy monsters also attack humans, and they are ugly (important words need to be said twice), they are also hated by everyone in the human world.
Basically, the army of the demon clan is made up of boy monsters--well, let me say again, just looking at the appearance of these guys, they have nothing to do with "boys".
During the time that Seth was there, Duanmu Huai also had a certain understanding of the composition of the demon world's forces. Simply put, the demon king is the most powerful, followed by the demons who have received the demon king's blood, and then the apostles created by the demons with their blood. In addition, the high-level races among the girl monsters also have a certain status in the demon world, while the boy monsters are ugly (I must say it three times if it is important), have low IQ, like to plunder, and have a rough personality. They are basically used as the main soldiers and cannon fodder of the demon world.
Of course, there are also different levels among the boy monsters, but this is not important. After all, in the eyes of the demons, they are all cannon fodder.
But what are these guys doing here?
Duanmu Huai certainly doesn't care about the low-level races among the boy monsters. This thing is equivalent to slime on the mainland, which is a thing to add experience points to fledgling adventurers. But as he said before, whether it is an octopus or a squid monster, they are all aquatic races. In fact, it is also said in the illustration that these two races are aquatic, and they often have conflicts and wars because of overlapping territories.
But... This is the Snow Mountain Plateau, what are you two aquatic races doing here?
"Huh————!"
At the same time, the blizzard became more and more violent, and at this moment, Duanmu Huai seemed to notice something and looked up at the top of the mountain.
There, a small black shadow was standing in the blizzard, staring at them.
"What is that?"
Duanmu Huai opened his eyes wide and looked in the direction of the black shadow. Soon, in front of his eyes, his vision quickly enlarged, and he put the petite black shadow clearly without spending any effort.
It was a beautiful girl with silky black hair, wearing a kimono, and a pretty face. She had skin like snow and blue eyes like ice. At this moment, the girl stared at the battle between the squid monster and the octopus monster below, and then she raised her hand——Accompanied by the girl's action, the cold wind blew and the blizzard howled. Then the next moment, the snow on the hillside seemed to be unable to bear the weight anymore and suddenly collapsed!
"Gaya————!"
When the squid and octopus noticed the blizzard collapsing, they tried to dodge, but it was too late. They didn't have the powerful strength of Duanmu Huai. They were swallowed by the collapsing blizzard in the blink of an eye and swept away into the mountain stream.
After seeing the group of monsters being wiped out, the girl turned around and left.
Duanmu Huai also retracted his gaze at this moment, and then took out the illustration book and flipped through it.
Sure enough, the snow girl likes to live in the snowy mountains and is good at manipulating ice blizzards...
If I take this back, it shouldn't be a problem to make ice cream, right?
"Very good, she's the one."
After determining the target, Duanmu Huai closed the illustration book.
"Let's keep moving forward!"
