"What is this?" Without responding to Zhuang Xiaoyuan's words, Kailina deftly jumped down from the top of the tent not far away, came to Zhuang Xiaoyuan's side, and looked at the figure that was trampled by Zhuang Xiaoyuan at this time. Ranwen ??.? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ?ａ`ｃ?ｏ?ｍ?

"It must be some kind of monster, right? But it's actually a humanoid monster. When Karina jumped down and asked as she looked at the figure on the ground. Maddie, who was holding a heavy shield to protect Ellie and Eagle, also came to Zhuang Xiaoyuan's side, looked at the figure on the ground and said.

"Is this the Shadow Thorn Ape? Why is there such a monster here? Under the protection of Maddie, she came to Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Kester's side, and when she heard Maddie's words, Ellie also looked down at the demonic beast on the ground, and after taking a closer look, Ellie's face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

At this time, under the illumination of the surrounding firelight, the demonic beast under Zhuang Xiaoyuan's feet also came into the eyes of several people around him, although it was a humanoid demonic beast, but this demonic beast only had a general human form.

If you only look at the back in the dark, you might think it's a human, but after seeing the front, no one will think that this monster is a human. After all, the appearance of this kind of monster is really a little ugly.

On the whole, the form of this magical beast is a bit like an ape, but unlike an ape, the appearance of this magical beast is extremely hideous and ugly. They have sharp inverted teeth in their mouths, and the eyes above their noses are not normal two but four.

Aside from the strange appearance on its face, the feet of this monster are similar to those of an ape, similar to the palm of a hand. With this form of feet, these monsters barely make the slightest sound when walking.

And although the arms of these demonic beasts are similar to those of ordinary apes, their nails are a little weird. Their nails don't look like the nails of normal creatures, but are made of some kind of metal.

The whole nail is very slender, and it is very bent, it is said that the nail is more like a hook that grows on the finger, and it is a hook with a sharp blade, the lethality of this hook is probably not small, and it is probably not difficult for them to cut a neck or wrist or something, as long as it can hit.

"Shadow Thorn Ape? What is that? Isn't it amazing? Hearing Ellie's words, Karina, who looked down at the Shadow Thorn Ape, asked with some curiosity. She didn't see the shadow thorn ape appear from the shadow just now, and when she boarded the tent, what she saw was that she had already appeared in the firelight and pounced on Zhuang Xiaoyuan.

"Don't worry if this kind of thing is powerful or not, let's get rid of all these things first. There are quite a few people who have mixed in, and besides, when facing this kind of monster, be careful of the shadow under your feet. ”

Hearing Karina's inquiry, Eagle was about to explain the strength and characteristics of these Shadow Thorn Aes to his summoned braves. However, before Eagle could speak, Zhuang Xiaoyuan casually stabbed the king sword in his hand into the heart of the shadow thorn ape at his feet and killed him, while waving his finger to the camp tent in front of him.

"Okay, we'll talk about that later. Maddie, they'll be handed over to you. Hearing Zhuang Xiaoyuan's words, Kailina frowned and looked up at the front, and could vaguely hear the screams coming from the front.

It seems that although they have received a warning from Zhuang Xiaoyuan, ordinary soldiers are still completely unable to deal with the unexpected assassination method of the Shadow Thorn Ape. If the Shadow Thorn Ape is allowed to do it like this, maybe after a while, there will be no soldiers left.

"Leave it to me, I'm here, and I won't let anyone hurt them." Gently patting her shield, Maddie assured with a serious face.

Unlike Karina and Zhuang Xiaoyuan, Maddie is not good at attacking. But on the other hand, Maddie is very good at defense, as can be seen by her weapons. In Maddie's world, she is a knight who guards her full-time, and under her shield, no one can hurt the person she protects, unless she falls first.

"Kester, stay here." His gaze lingered on Maddy's serious face for a moment, and Zhuang Xiaoyuan turned his head to look at his summoner, and commanded. With Maddie's protection, Zhuang Xiaoyuan also believes that Kester will be fine. And I'm just going to the front, so it's not troublesome to want to come back.

Hearing Zhuang Xiaoyuan's command, Kester nodded and walked to Maddie's side. Although Kester summoned Zhuang Xiaoyuan, according to the master-slave relationship of common sense, Zhuang Xiaoyuan should listen to Kester.

But this world is not the world of the Holy Grail War in the anime of the previous life, and the master of this world is not called by whoever summons it.

On the contrary, because the existence of being able to become a brave man has extraordinary abilities and rich experience, there are many examples of summoners listening to brave people in this world.

The summoning ceremony of the brave in this world is just a simple summoning of the brave according to their own nature. There is no mandatory restraint in the summoning ceremony, so the summoner does not have the right to command the brave completely.

Theoretically, in such an unrestrained situation, the brave may not listen to the summoner at all, or even do something contrary to the summoner's philosophy.

But in fact, this has hardly ever happened. Since the development of the Heroic Summoning Ritual, there have been conflicts between the Brave and the Summoner, but the chances of this happening are very small.

This phenomenon occurs, in the final analysis, because of the phase of the call of the brave. The summoning of this world does not have the concept of holy relics, and the call of the brave completely relies on its own nature.

And this kind of thing is very wonderful, in this world, the brave summoned by the summoner is definitely the most compatible existence with his own nature. Compatibility does not mean that the personalities of both parties are the same, but that the personalities, habits, and abilities of both parties can complement each other or blend.

Summoners with strong personalities, leadership charisma, and the habit of holding the initiative may summon brave people who are introverted and more obedient, but have their own bottom line, and are accustomed to cooperating with others.

A cowardly and introverted summoner may summon a proactive, outgoing, and sociable brave man to complete the communication work that summoners are not good at.

A summoner with a gentle and empathetic personality may also summon a brave man with the same gentle personality and empathy as himself, making it easier for two people with the same personality to get along.

No matter what kind of combination of summoner and brave, there will basically be no conflict between them, even if their personalities are different, their concepts may have a certain synchronization, so for the situation where the brave occupies the dominant position, the summoner itself is not surprised, let alone exclusive.

"I'll go first." After Eagle also walked to Maddie's side, Karina turned her head to look at Zhuang Xiaoyuan, and set off first, jumping directly onto the top of the tent on the side, and pulling out the bow and arrow she was carrying.

Seeing Karina's movements, Zhuang Xiaoyuan finally glanced at Kester, and then set off directly, rushing into the dark night where the firelight could not shine. The night continues, and the killing has just begun.
