Eating Her
"That wretched Frieren!"
Not to be outdone, Solitär moved closer to Li Yan and bravely did the same thing as Frieren.
Aura blinked, wondering whether she should join the competition for favor. Before she could think it over further, the Ferris wheel began to move slowly. Without hesitation, Aura gave up her most precious first experience.
After Aura finished his operation, Li Yan was completely bewildered. He had just said it casually, not given any hint!
Seeing that everyone else had taken action, Line, who had mastered the ability to imitate, also bravely joined in. Li Yan blinked, feeling as if she had experienced a kiss that divided her into four parts.
"The movie was amazing, Uzumaki Hero of the South' was so cool!"
Himmel was thrilled; the Hero of the South's Super-Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan Magic was absolutely awesome.
"Himmel, Uchiha Macht is the coolest. Although Uchiha Li Yan, who could fight several Kage Level ninjas, is also cool, Uchiha Macht is the real 'yyds' (a derogatory term for someone who is overpowered)."
A blush crept across Heiter's face as he casually tossed the wine bottle into the trash can. Fine wine and a movie—perfect!
"Hmm... it's really exciting."
The Hero of the South scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. Although it was only the latter half of the action-packed battle scenes, after watching the Naruto movie, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. The characters in the movie bore a striking resemblance to him. It was said that the Kingdom released the movie with him as the protagonist to commemorate his heroic deeds.
Watching Himmel and the others, who were arm in arm, enthusiastically discussing the Naruto storyline, the Hero of the South secretly made up his mind that he would watch all the movies in the series whenever he had free time.
The Underground Labyrinth is a paradise for adventurers and Monsters alike, but when the two meet, only the victor will find paradise, while the loser will become the other's spoils.
Perhaps it was for honing his skills, or perhaps it was for exploration, but Himmel enjoyed the adventures in the Underground Labyrinth, finding pleasure in both Monsters and traps.
"Himmel, why did you turn back when you could have reached the entrance to the next level of the Underground Labyrinth earlier? Why did you insist on conquering every room on this level?"
Heiter looked troubled. Himmel was like an obsessive-compulsive; even though he could finish the game early, he insisted on completing the entire game and following all the walkthroughs.
"You don't understand, Heiter. Only by completing the entire encyclopedia can you truly experience the joy of adventure. We didn't come here to conquer this Underground Labyrinth, but to experience the joy of adventure itself."
Himmel spoke with a look of enjoyment, her eyes slightly closed, absorbing the environment of the Underground Labyrinth and feeling a sense of exhilaration.
"Who knows, there might be some rare wine in the next room, Heiter, relax."
Eize spoke calmly, as if walking the route a few more times wouldn't make a difference to him.
"I support Himmel; the joy of adventure is the most important thing."
Hearing that there was fine wine, Heiter's spirits were lifted again.
"Explore the entire Underground Labyrinth from all angles? A good decision."
The Hero of the South agreed, saying he also enjoyed the feeling of adventuring with Himmel. Only such adventures could be called the best. Adventurers who rushed into the next level of the Underground Labyrinth to gain time and speed were not qualified adventurers; they would always miss something, making their adventures imperfect.
On the other side, Li Yan group, who were following closely behind Himmel, were completely dumbfounded. Himmel, this obsessive-compulsive patient, had not left them an empty room. The whole place looked like a village that had been attacked by bandits, with no spoils left behind. Even the garbage in the Underground Labyrinth had been burned clean by Heiter using the Goddess Magic flames.
"Oh, my treasure chest!"
Frieren looked disappointed. What she had been looking forward to most in the Underground Labyrinth was opening the chests. Now, Himmel group were like locusts swarming through a field, gorging themselves and leaving a patch of empty land for Li Yan and his group to plunder.
"It's alright, it seems Himmel and the others had a very smooth journey through the Underground Labyrinth."
Li Yan looked with satisfaction at the room, which had been ransacked and was now barren. He then led Frieren and the others out of the Underground Labyrinth. He had already made up his mind; even a dog would avoid the Underground Labyrinth that Himmel had been to.
Leaving the Underground Labyrinth, Li Yan led Frieren and the others for a leisurely stroll along the forest path. It must be said that sometimes, leaving one's home and taking a relaxing trip in nature is a wonderful thing. The fresh air, the occasional birds flying in the lush green forest, and the sunlight shining on their clothes were just right, warm and cozy.
Can you help me?
"Can you help me...?"
Deep within the forest, a melodious cry for help from a young girl rang out. With a touch of curiosity, Li Yan led the group of women toward the direction of the sound.
Parting the grass, a delicate young girl came into view, wearing a somewhat worn pure white vest. Her green hair had a natural beauty, and her large eyes were full of moisture, with a hint of helplessness and pitifulness in her expression. Her porcelain-white calves were like white lotus roots that had just been dug out of the mud and washed clean, with some scars, as if they had been scratched by plants with thorns.
Upon seeing Li Yan and the others arrive, the girl's mournful voice became even more poignant, like a wronged child seeing her parents.
Frieren coldly stared at the pitiful girl before her. Her pathetic appearance did not arouse her sympathy. Instead, she took out her staff and poked the girl a few times at close range.
Solitär down, a hint of interest on her face. "Ah, is this the Shapeshifting Man-Eating Grass that transforms into the form of a young girl to attract passing travelers?"
"She looks so weak, how does she attack humans?"
Aura scrutinized the trembling, pitiful green-haired girl with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes. Despite her frail appearance, Frieren's face held a serious expression.
Why are you bullying such a weak Monsters?
Li Yan gently stroked the trembling green-haired girl. Her hair felt just like that of a real human girl. He stroked her head lightly, as if touching a newly blooming lily. Her hair was soft and smooth, like silk, making one want to stroke it a few more times. Li Yan's fingers ran through her hair, bringing a series of gentle touches that made the girl feel incredibly comfortable and at ease.
Li Yan's movements were gentle and delicate, each touch filled with care. In this warm moment, a special understanding seemed to form between them. His touch made the girl feel cared for and loved, and she responded to Li Yan's kindness with her smile and eyes. This interaction brought Li Yan and the girl closer together.
"How many travelers have they eaten using this method?"
Li Yan patted the Monsters girl's head kindly and asked.
