The Demon King did not restrict races; he only required the strongest individual to be a demon. He led the demon race to almost completely suppress the other races on the continent.
Demons are not particularly skilled at creation, so they need other races to some extent, and occasionally they may even leech off them.
"Never mind, we probably won't see any truly intelligent demons here anyway."
"Go and see what kind of prey might appear in the woods. I can't wait!"
The desire to taste something made him grip his sword tightly and slowly move towards the forest.
"Splash..."
Pushing aside the bushes, El, relying on his memory of having been here many times, walked towards the lake deep in the woods.
That was a place where many animals replenished their water, and he hunted rabbits there several times.
There are no wolves or tigers here, only snakes, so there are quite a few rabbits.
He also had a slingshot at his waist, which he used to hunt rabbits.
"The bunny is so cute, it has to be roasted and eaten..."
The woods were eerily quiet, with a deathly stillness, and a sense of unknown fear that perhaps a pair of eyes were watching you from somewhere.
For inexperienced individuals, prolonged exposure to such an environment can quickly lead to a buildup of mental stress.
But El was different. When he was four years old, he was almost the size of a six or seven-year-old child. He came here many times in order to eat more meat.
I don't know why, but when I enter the woodland, a feeling of openness and tranquility washes over me.
An unexpected rapport between him and this environment?
[Entry - Wilderness Survival Trigger]
Avoiding the hidden places where snakes might be, El easily reached his destination.
The lake is blue, sunlight filters through the trees, and the clear water reveals the fish swimming within.
Indeed, some uninvited guests appeared by the lake.
"Gurgle...gurgle..."
"Is this... the slime, the monster I read about in the book?"
Blue, teardrop-shaped balls rolled on the grass, looking exceptionally bouncy.
El had seen information about this kind of monster in a book; the most basic and simplest monster was a slime.
"With extremely low intelligence, they basically rely on instinct. Such monsters can be born in places with good aquatic environments and where magic is active."
It can purify water bodies and further promote the activity of the magical environment, feeding on the surrounding weeds.
The book describes this thing as the most harmless individual monster, but it also notes that the possibility of a slime killing a human is very small, but definitely not zero.
Furthermore, in other special environments, mutated individuals may emerge, such as fire slimes and ice slimes, which are even more threatening.
As for El, he is a cautious hunter who doesn't act blindly.
However, he was more concerned about another issue than the potential danger posed by the monsters.
"This looks so bouncy and translucent, I'm thinking it must be edible, right?"
The sight of that blue body made him feel a sense of appetite.
Is this edible? How do you eat it? Is it tasty?
Three questions swirled in his mind.
