This is arguably Elder Centipede's most closely guarded secret; the outside world has virtually no information about it.
Because those demons who had seen the "tail needle" were basically dead.
The Saintess Squad might even force the enemy to unleash their tail needles, the most crucial secret weapon to guard against.
"Everyone, please be careful today! If you die, you'll have nothing left!"
Let's take down Elder Centipede in one fell swoop!
Set off! "
"Ooo ...
Although the demons remained silent in front of the Hunter's Hut, they were stirred by Layton's voice before the battle and their fighting spirit was aroused.
As the wooden hut was opened, all the demons scattered and began searching for the enemy's location.
The Saintess Squad, acting as "hunters," lacked the means to seal off the battlefield.
In other words, if the other party wants to run, they can escape.
but……
The demon leader has escaped. The ones who should be worried are not the four of them, but the other demons who are prepared but may end up empty-handed.
Therefore, the demons would spontaneously set out to find their enemies and try to surround them.
Rather, they would follow the same procedure regardless of which "hunter" they were working with.
The awkward thing is that none of the four members of the Saintess Squad could sense any magic.
Upon entering the enemy's territory, the first to discover the enemy will always be other demon races.
The Saintess Squad usually only rushes to provide support halfway after hearing the commotion, which makes them seem... completely at ease to the other demons!
Each of the "hunters" waited for the other demons to be weakened before making their move, so the four members of the Saintess Squad did not notice anything amiss.
The demons had all left, but Elder Centipede and the four members of the Saintess's team remained in the same spot.
"Aren't you going to join the war?" Lycorina looked up at the other person.
Elder Centipede shook his basin-sized head: "With so many demons coming to help me, there's no need for me to risk serious injury." (Novel updates daily; skirt: bar ∏—々陆〈san「>∨陑)
It's already waiting to reap the benefits.
Among the demons, there are also those who take advantage of the situation and do nothing themselves, yet they always manage to get the materials they want when it comes to distributing them.
In the midst of the chaos, no one knows whether they will make a move or not, so why risk your life?
Of course, most demons were still willing to help, after all...
If you don't attack and I don't attack, we won't be able to deplete the opponent's physical strength and magic power at all, and the "hunter" won't make a move either.
But the local leaders will intervene!
The demon leader's territory has been invaded, and he finds that everyone is just running around aimlessly, so he will definitely take the initiative to attack and hunt them down.
Once they are targeted, can their small team really withstand the attack?
Even if we hold out and go all out, wouldn't we just be working for someone else for free?
Nobody wants to work for free, but nobody wants to drag things out until the other side takes the initiative.
Therefore, in a hunt, most demons will choose to take action.
Although the approach was conservative, it was better than doing nothing.
Layton looked at the Centipede Elder and suddenly asked, "Actually, there's a question I've always wanted to ask: is your race's name Centipede Elder?"
Elder Centipede shook his head: "No, it's only after reaching the elder level that one is called Elder Centipede."
Moreover, we not only have giant centipedes with high magic power, but also giant centipedes that specialize in cultivating their physical bodies.
Once you reach my level, you'll be General Centipede.
"Is there a centipede king up there?" Layton asked.
"Yes, at level thirteen, above level twelve, the Centipede Elder will become the Centipede Dharma King."
"And the Centipede General has reached the level of the Centipede King," Elder Centipede explained.
"Centipede King...that doesn't sound as good as Centipede Dharma King..." Lycorina grinned beside her.
"Bang!!"
The sound of massive trees being struck echoed from the depths of the forest; within minutes, the battle had begun!
Having already entered the other party's territory, finding them would be very easy for high-magic-power demons.
The opponent is a level 12 demon; their location can be accurately pinpointed simply through extensive searching and sensing. (Slaughter)
When they found the other person, they were hiding under the leaf litter of the rainforest.
Upon discovering a large influx of demons into its territory, it showed no mercy and immediately launched an attack on the nearest demon force.
"Oh!"
The giant centipede leaped into the air and smashed a hole in a giant tree with its head, resembling a leaping flying fish in the dim rainforest.
The other party was not wearing a robe, but the staff in his hand, made of some kind of green crystal, gleamed with a cold green light.
Instantly, thick fog rose from the rainforest, making the already dark forest even more gloomy and reducing visibility to the point that the demons could not even see their own companions.
"alert!"
The demon squad closest to the enemy was on high alert, standing together ready to deploy their shields at any moment.
Other demons have also surrounded them from other directions; they need to wait for reinforcements to arrive!
However, at this moment, they discovered that, in their perception, the magic power of the level 12 centipede elder had inexplicably weakened considerably.
It was as if, with the appearance of the fog, their vision was also obscured by the other party...
"not good!"
One of the quick-thinking demons realized something was wrong.
But, it's too late.
The small team of eight demons suddenly felt their magical energy become disordered, their legs went weak, and they began to feel dizzy.
poison……
This is poisonous fog!
"Invaders who overestimate their abilities! How dare you trespass on my territory!"
At this moment, a colossal figure emerged from the mist behind the eight demons, its massive body violently swung around. (The text then abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated anecdote about a demon being chopped off.)
"puff!"
The demons were cut in half in an instant, and were mercilessly strangled before they could even deploy their magical shields.

Small-sized, high-magic-power demons are not very resilient; they are not only easily poisoned, but their bodies also lack the ability to resist attacks.
If you mistake the Centipede Elder for an ordinary rainforest leader, you're sorely mistaken.
This is a demon with a strong physique, high magical power, and high intelligence!
This is not the hunting ground of the demons, but the hunting ground of Elder Centipede!
The level 12 centipede elder sensed the movement of the demons in the poisonous mist. The poison had not yet been activated, and the demons were unaware that they had been poisoned.
"Are we being targeted by hunters...?"
It thought to itself.
It makes sense; it had become the strongest power in the region, and it was only a matter of time before it was targeted.
However, even if the "hunter" were to capture it personally, it would be extremely difficult.
If the other party wants to take a bite out of me, then I can also take a bite out of them.
It knows the hunter's methods.
These demons are used to deplete its physical strength and magical power.
The hunter will not make a move until it has been depleted to a certain extent.
That is to say...
Before the "hunter" can act, it kills all the intruders, and then the "hunter" will retreat.
If you know that the opponent won't waste so much magic to kill it, you can prepare a strategy to protect yourself.
On the other side, the level 11 Centipede Elder and the four members of the Saintess Squad also entered the area of the poisonous fog.
"This fog is poisonous, I'll dispel it for you all."
Elder Centipede raised his staff, and a space free of poisonous mist was created around the four of them.
"I just inhaled a little bit, will I be poisoned?!" Lycorina asked in shock.
Scary Luco was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she silently used her equipment to increase her resilience by 30 points.
If the poison takes effect, she'll be the first to die!
Si said, "No, this level of poisonous fog won't kill you, but... it can disrupt magic and paralyze your entire body."
Moreover, whether the toxicity takes effect can be controlled according to one's will," Elder Centipede explained.
"In other words, you won't feel anything when walking normally in the toxic fog."
"However, during combat, the opponent can activate poison, rendering the opponent incapable of fighting," An Yi said calmly.
“That’s right.” Elder Centipede nodded.
Milu's shoulders trembled upon hearing this, and her scalp tingled.
This...this is terrifying!
