The society is afraid that Shota Demon King just wants to be a salted fish

The third floor of the Immortal Maze.

Five dwarves covered in blood fought with two peacocks that were more than three meters tall.

"Clara, watch your back!"

The strong dwarf named Clara jumped sideways, trying to avoid the dozens of peacock tail feathers that shot towards her.

Unfortunately, it was not very successful. Her thick arm was severely penetrated by three gorgeously colored tail feathers, and blood spattered far away.

Another peacock seized the opportunity of a few people to be distracted, and rose up from the ground with a wave of its wings. The sharp wings carried strong wind and flew straight towards the waist of the dwarf adventurer closest to it.

The dwarf's pupils shrank sharply and he tried to block with the sledgehammer in his hand, but in the end he was one step slower.

"scoff~"

Blood gurgled from his waist. The adventurer immediately twitched in pain and his lips turned black...

With one strike, the peacock, which had already dodged behind the dwarf adventurer, spun around twice, bringing out many grass blades blown away by the strong wind...

The huge tail feathers spread out, looking eerie and beautiful under the light shining through the forest...

"Larry! Get out of the way!" Looking at the elite peacock who rushed towards the injured dwarf again, another teammate waved his giant sword, stamped on the ground, and shouted loudly:

"Strong cut!"

The giant sword glowed with a silvery white light and had a slight tail. It slashed hard at the peacock who was approaching Larry at a very fast speed.

The peacock was thrown seven or eight meters away on the spot, but it didn't seem to cause much damage...

...

This morning, their team discovered a magical hill treasure chest with a metallic texture in the forest glade full of blue leaves. The level was obviously not low.

However, there are three extraordinary mid-level phantom peacocks guarding the area.

For their team, which only has high-level peaks and the rest are high-level and intermediate-level, the risk of obtaining this treasure chest is quite high.

But they were unwilling to leave just like that.

So a few people re-discussed their strategy and sent one person to lure away a few peacocks, while the others secretly went up to open the treasure chest.

Unfortunately the plan failed.

They realized belatedly that in terms of speed, they could not match these extraordinary peacocks.

Within a few minutes, the teammate responsible for seducing him was chopped off with his wings and was about to die, and then shot into a sieve with feathers.

But the few people who finally got close to the treasure chest couldn't open it...

"Captain! Oh no, the treasure box has been stolen!" Clara exclaimed as she put the life potion back into her bag and her arm had just recovered.

When the dwarf captain heard this, he immediately looked at the location of the previous treasure chest with an angry look.

I saw a goblin with a strange red ball floating behind his back and a short bow. He had opened the treasure chest and was holding a bottle inside and hanging it on his waist.

"His grandma has legs! This damn goblin!"

The captain felt his blood pressure rising rapidly...

"Shield Bash!"

The heavy shield on the door panel in his hand knocked the attacking peacock five or six meters away, and the peacock's iron claws left several deep claw marks on the ground...

Without thinking, he turned around and slammed into the back of the goblin who had his back turned to him at high speed with his giant shield.

Hearing the sound of breaking wind behind him, the Goblin was startled, jumped up on the spot, and then jumped three times in the air, successfully climbing to the top of the tall tree.

The blow missed, and he watched the goblin on the tree crown slowly take out his short bow with a malicious look in his eyes.

The captain below suddenly had a bad feeling.

The goblin on the tree drew the bow string, and an arrow made of magic power was automatically condensed on it.

"Bang~" This is the sound of the bowstring rebounding...

The arrow was silent but extremely fast. It reached a dwarf who was fighting a peacock with his back to a big tree in an instant.

The captain didn't even have time to give a warning, and the swordsman was directly shot through the throat.

Then there were continuous bursts of shooting. After a few arrows, only the captain and another dwarf warrior were left.

The current dwarf captain is so frustrated that he wants to vomit blood...

He dodged the dozens of tail feathers coming from behind with a flying swoop, ducked sideways to avoid the vital point where the arrows were aimed, and threw a throwing ax forcefully at the goblin on the tree with a curse.

It's a pity that it was too rushed and crooked...

"Bang!" The flying ax used a huge force to hold several people under the goblin, and the leaves of the big tree flew around...

The ax body was directly embedded into the giant tree, with only the ax handle exposed.

The goblin was obviously frightened and almost fell from the tree.

"Captain! I can't hold on anymore."

For about seven or eight minutes, the dwarf swordsman couldn't dodge, and more than a dozen peacock tail feathers inserted him into a hedgehog on the spot...

It would be difficult for the dwarf captain to deal with just one, let alone two?

He didn't even last three minutes before he was stabbed through the chest by a wing.

...

Fifty miles away from the alchemy capital, Asflica camp.

After being teleported out, the dwarves who had recovered from their injuries were extremely aggrieved.

The main reason for this failure was greed, and of course the relaxation of vigilance when it was clear that death would not really happen...

After all, with their strength, it would be good to face at most two extraordinary intermediate monsters at the same time. Facing three at the same time is no different from seeking death...

...

The fifth floor of the maze, the sacred desert.

Four elf adventurers, wearing only green tube tops and tight brown trousers, were walking on the sacred desert dripping with sweat.

The surrounding temperature exceeds [-] degrees, and adventurers below the legendary level may not be able to stay there for even five minutes.

After being separated from the other demigods yesterday, the four elf adventurers headed all the way to the depths of the desert.

But their luck is obviously much better than that of the orcs.

Along the way, I only encountered a few intermediate god-level cacti and two elementary-level god-level sandworms.

In addition, there was a priest among the four of them. Although they were embarrassed, they were still close to death.

"Captain, there seems to be something under our feet!" While walking, an elf with some baby fat on his face suddenly exclaimed.

After hearing the reminder from their teammates, the remaining three elves immediately tensed up and rushed to the side. At the same time, they released their spiritual consciousness and looked around.

The elf who had just spoken stood alone in confusion, and weakly explained:

"Well, Captain, I'm not talking about monsters...haha~"

The three demigods had dark expressions on their faces and walked back to the adventurer who had just spoken.

"Talitha, what's going on?"

The elf named Talisa raised her feet awkwardly: "Look..."

Several people came closer and saw an off-white pointed four-sided pyramid exposed at Talisa's feet...

"This is..." Several people picked it up with their hands and pulled hard, but it still didn't move: "dig it out and take a look..."

They immediately became interested...

After walking in this desert for a whole day, I haven't seen even a stone the size of a grain of rice, let alone this neat pyramid.

Everywhere you look you can see fine white sand.

As several people dug hard, the more they dug, the more parts came out. After digging for more than half an hour, there was no end in sight.

"What's going on?" The four of them were dumbfounded as they looked at the pyramids that were more than ten meters high.

How big is this thing?

"There must be something good down here!" One of the elves said excitedly while drinking gulps of water and wiping the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes with the clothes he took off.

"Take a break and let's continue digging."

The four elves sat in the shadow of the pyramid, their delicate faces red and hot from the sun, breathing heavily without any image.

......

As the evening progressed, an exclamation interrupted the elf who was struggling to dig.

"I think I've found the door!"

The other people were pleasantly surprised when they heard it...

Gathering around the opening spirit, sure enough, a half-meter-high gap appeared on the square cone in front of them, which was obviously a tunnel leading to the inside of the square cone.

The four elves worked even harder. With their combined efforts, within ten minutes, the entire passage was exposed to them.

At the end of the passage is an off-white stone door inlaid with dark gold mysterious patterns.

The eyes of the four people were bright. They didn't believe that there was no treasure inside.

Pushing the door open, there is a bottomless downward stone staircase. The end of the stone staircase is pitch black.

It was a little different from what they thought, and a few people were a little hesitant.

"Do you want to go down, captain?" The three teammates turned their attention to the elf captain.

The elf captain gritted his teeth and said, "I've wasted half a day, why do I need to see what's going on inside?"

As she said that, she led the team down the steps, but as soon as she took a step, she suddenly felt that the floor tiles under her feet had sunk a little.

"call out!"

A crossbow arrow shot in front of the captain in an instant with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. It was so fast that even the demigod had almost no chance to dodge.

"Tsk~" The captain reluctantly turned sideways and avoided the vital point...

The thumb-thick crossbow arrow pierced her arm directly, grazing the gap between the two teammates behind her and hitting the beige stone brick.

"Captain!" The incident happened so fast that they couldn't react at all.

The priest in the team took two steps forward, intending to treat him.

However, the bricks under his feet sank again, and a crossbow arrow shot through the air.

Fortunately, the defensive teammates behind her had quick eyesight and pulled her to the ground.

"Bang!" The empty crossbow arrow pierced deeply into the hard wall behind him.

Several people broke out in cold sweat.

They had also tried to destroy the wall before, but with all their strength, they only left a wisp of white marks...

"..."

...

Demon King's City, Demon King's Hall.

Yan Mu rarely sat on the throne again, eating melon and watching videos.

The current functions of communication crystal cards are too simple, and you will get tired of them in a few days.

As for the increase in the number of people from the Demon Realm, Guilty and the others are currently in a state of distress.

They can no longer locate their own demon world...

The last time Yan Mu was so speechless was the last time...

I can’t even find my own home, but that’s okay.

Regarding the matter of 'where has the demon world gone?', he has absolutely no way to intervene.

After all, he can't even use his own magic power now, so how can he help?

"Hey, that's good. Someone found the Sacred Pyramid so quickly."

Noticing that there were adventurers in the special dungeon on the fifth floor, Yan Mu threw away the watermelon rind and summoned another watermelon.

On the sand table light screen are four elf adventurers with cool clothes and well-proportioned figures.

They took the Flower Demon Lord's Hundred Flowers Spear and knocked on the stone steps inside the Sacred Pyramid.

Every time a mechanism is discovered, it will be marked with a luminous crystal.

It took about ten minutes before the four elves arrived at the room on the first floor.

When they reached the end of the stairs, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back at the stairs where I came from, there are seventy or eighty lighting crystals dotted on it.

The originally dark passage was illuminated as bright as day.

"Stop!" Walking to the corner of the passage, the captain whispered.

Several people immediately fell silent and lowered their steps.

The captain carefully poked his head out of the corner, and saw a monster with a body and a snake's tail, a head full of snake hair, and also wearing only a tube top, slowly wandering in the corridor.

Surrounding the corridor are two or three strange crystals that emit dim yellow light.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was only one.

But how to fight is another problem. One is not sure of the opponent's strength, and the other is not sure if there are other traps in this small room.

None of the crossbows, hammers, blades, spears, spike balls, or fire breathers were left behind along the way.

"Why don't we wait for her to come over and lure her into a trap?"

Seeing everyone helpless, Talisa weakly suggested...

Yan Mu just watched a few elves whispering in the corridor next to the small room, and then three of the elves quickly returned to the original route...

The elf archer was left alone to poke his head out, quickly shot an arrow at Medusa in the small room, turned around and ran away.

An arrow hit Medusa's shoulder. The attacked Medusa immediately roared, twisted her snake tail and chased after the elf archer.

Then Yan Mu watched in bewilderment as the Medusa was shot by the mechanism on the stairs without hesitation, and threw herself onto the street.

"..."

Can this mechanism be triggered by maze monsters?

What kind of bullshit setting is this?

Reach out and call up the special copy template from the sandbox settings to modify it.

[The sacred pyramid ruins have been modified successfully, the number of modifications is 43, and the remaining number is 1. 】

[The remaining sacred pyramid ruins will be automatically modified without adventurers. 】

"Forget it, it's easier for them this time."

This time Yan Mu had no choice but to admit defeat, but he didn't really care.

...

Looking at the strange snake man with no signs of life, several people showed no intention of relaxing.

Dozens of white bandages were seen quickly coming up from the ground under the snake girl, wrapping her tightly in a matter of seconds.

Medusa, who was wrapped in bandages, stood up staggeringly, but the Medusa who stood up still could not escape the fate of being killed by the trap...

After stepping on a dozen traps in a row again, he fell again...

Now everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Carefully bypass the trap on the stairs and arrive in front of Medusa's body.

Next to the corpse was a pile of three to four hundred gold coins, as well as a dark golden snake eye gem.

[Eye of Medusa (consumption, material): Petrify enemies who see the Eye of Medusa in front of them. The petrification effect lasts 0-60 seconds, depending on relative strength. 】

...

Castlevania World.

In a slum in a certain city, a dirty young man in his twenties and seventies was shocked to find that the mark of the Sword Hero on his chest was about to disappear after just a few days without paying attention...

"what's going on?"

You must know that this brave mark is carried from birth.

And I’ve never heard of the saying that the mark of the brave will disappear?

He clearly felt that the connection between him and the Sword of the Brave had become even weaker, to the point where he could hardly sense it even if he didn't sense it carefully...

Over the years, he has been searching for the whereabouts of the Sword of the Brave in various cities, but to no avail.

Many people say that the weapons of the brave were lost when the emperor counterattacked the demon world.

But of course he doesn't believe this nonsense.

Through nearly a hundred years of secret investigation, he discovered that this rumor was a despicable lie fabricated by the breakaway countries after the emperor was poisoned.

The real weapons of the brave were divided among several divided countries and became the collections in their private treasury and the playthings of the royal family.

Back then, they used various despicable means to frame all the brave men who followed the emperor to seal the demon world.

Once the brave men were driven out and killed.

If it weren't for the fact that every time a hero dies, this continent will give birth to a new hero among newborns within two years, he would probably have no more heroes...

The more than six hundred years that led to the division of the empire became a nightmare for all new brave men.

Any brave man found by the kingdom will have his cultivation level revoked directly and be imprisoned in a dungeon...

Families that hide brave men will be exterminated in public by the kingdom's soldiers, even affecting relatives and friends, to frighten other parents who are reluctant to hand over their children...

Under such constant suppression by the country, the brave man gradually turned into a street rat...

The title "brave" has also fallen from the pinnacle of glory into the bottomless quagmire.

The whole world is full of ill will toward the brave.

From the nobles and the elderly to the poor and children...the reason why these countries do this is very simple.

They unilaterally believed that the Great Emperor led the brave men to completely seal the demon world more than a thousand years ago, so they would have no worries.

Naturally, there is no need for brave men to exist.

It will also become a stumbling block to their rule...

After all, as long as they are a brave man, their strength will increase rapidly at a speed that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

It was not until these stupid and arrogant high-ranking officials and nobles of the kingdom could no longer squeeze any profit from their so-called untouchables that they turned their attention to the sealed demon world.

They did not participate in that battle. The only ones who truly entered the demon world were the expeditionary force led by the emperor and eight brave men. Naturally, they did not know the specific strength of the demons.

But the emperor who led the brave men to seal the demon world was killed by them themselves...

The so-called brave man also lives in his own dungeon but cannot die...

In addition, over the past few hundred years, the nobility and royal family have completely monopolized all cultivation resources, and they feel that their family has even surpassed that of the Great Emperor...

It is not impossible to capture the demon world...

Later...

Up to now, the Demon King has ruled this continent for more than five hundred years...

The only thing that hasn't changed is that everyone still calls for beating the brave man. These nobles who were demoted to pariahs by the demons once again target the brave man.

Thinking that it was all the useless heroes that led to the entire continent being completely overrun by the demons in less than ten years...

And under the instigation of these nobles, the untouchables put all the blame on the so-called "brave"...

As for his purpose of finding the Sword of the Brave...

Of course it's not to save some bullshit world, just to take revenge...

People in this world do not deserve to be saved by brave men...

He deserves to live in the shadow of the demons.

Even now he felt sick thinking about the word "save."

...

The Sword Hero walked aimlessly, and when he passed a corner, the conversation between several lemures caught his attention...

"Have you heard? The Demon King's Castle has been renamed and is now called Castlevania."

"Where did you hear that? Why didn't I know?"

"He said it casually when he was trimming the hooves of the Horned Demon Master today. It seems that even the Demon King demoted himself one level and declared himself the Lord of the City."

Several lemures around him suddenly exclaimed, and the lemure that got the news first suddenly felt proud.

"There is even more exciting news. I heard that a terrifying existence came from nowhere that day. The Demon King was serving tea and water all the way, as if he had no temper..."

"Cut~"

Before he could finish his words, he was immediately interrupted by other lemures, who all rolled their eyes. How could there be someone more powerful than the Demon King in the world?

"You're not bragging again, are you?"

Facing the doubts of other lemures, the lemure suddenly became anxious.

"Everything I said is true! Not only that, the weapons of the brave men who followed the human emperor to counterattack the demon world more than a thousand years ago were all given to that being!"

The few lemures still didn't believe it, so they waved their hands and walked in other directions, making the lemure stamp its feet in anger.

The sword hero took two steps forward, put his arm around the lemure's shoulders, and said with a smile:

"Brother Demon, can you tell me in detail?"

The lemure was suddenly startled. He didn't feel anyone approaching at all.

But when he turned around and saw a sloppy human being, he immediately waved his hands in disgust:

"Going on one side, going on the other side, it's really unlucky."

As he spoke, he pushed the man away, patted the places he touched with dissatisfaction, and walked toward the city, cursing.

The sword hero didn't care. He threw the money bag he stole from the lemure in a good mood and weighed it.

"Here are the travel expenses to the Demon King's Castle..."
