curious?

Livia frowned, and after repeated confirmation he was sure that the look in the gray monster's eyes was indeed curiosity.

It's like the curiosity of a child who suddenly sees something new.

What is this?

Is the curiosity that I just imagined true?

Livia's eyes twitched. He really didn't expect that the gray monster in front of him seemed to follow them out of curiosity. No one would have thought of this. Natalia, who knew something about the gray monster, also couldn't figure it out before.

Um?

! !

Just when he was a little dazed, the gray monster in front of him suddenly stretched out his human-like hand, but with his right hand with sharp claws on the fingertips.

bass!

Livia subconsciously stepped back and drew out the silver sword.

The crisp sound of drawing the sword startled the others, and they quickly stood up and drew their weapons. Natalia threw away the pen and paper she had just taken out, drew the Sword of Davian from her waist, and rushed towards Livia.

The cave was not big. Even the deepest part of the cave was only a dozen steps away from the entrance. Although Natalia had not yet completely recovered from the weak state caused by the side effects of the secret technique, as a person with extraordinary strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, she still quickly came behind Livia.

When she got behind Livia, she naturally saw the gray arm reaching into the cave and the gray monster at the entrance.

His pupils suddenly shrank. How could it be possible that the gray demon suddenly attacked them?

Although he was shocked and puzzled, he did not stop moving. He infused the strength he had just recovered into the sword of Davian. The red lines on the sword began to glow red, as if a flame was about to ignite.

"Wait!"

Feeling that the others were quickly ready for battle, and Natalia was directly behind her and ready to attack, Livia hurriedly stepped forward to block the entrance of the cave, and at the same time whispered to the others behind her.

Um?

Natalia had no choice but to stop as he blocked her way. Then she couldn't help but feel doubtful when she heard his words. She still didn't put down the sword in her hand, ready to slash past Livia at any time.

The others looked at the gray monster that appeared at the cave entrance with weapons in hand and in alert.

The gray demon looked at the sudden situation inside and slowly bent its outstretched hand back, then tilted its head, with a curious look on its face like a child. It seemed that it had no idea that Natalia and others in the cave wanted to attack it, but instead treated these as a game.

Livia swallowed as he looked at it. He really couldn't understand what this creature called the gray demon was thinking, but the only thing that was certain was that it didn't want to attack them.

"it……

It seems a little strange.”

He didn't know how to describe this strange and weird situation for a moment. Could it be that the gray monster seemed very curious about them, so it came to take a look?

Even he himself is still a little unsure about this, let alone whether others will believe it.

In fact, he didn't need to say it. Natalia, Honasan, the old hunter and others who could see the cave entrance also saw the gray monster's strange movements and the curious expression on his face.

"This is……

What happened? "

Natalia frowned and asked Livia in front of her how this happened when she had just left and Livia was guarding the cave entrance.

"this……

I don’t know, it suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave.”

Hearing her question, Livia didn't know what to say. He couldn't figure out what this creature called the gray monster was, but the curious look it showed didn't seem fake.

After hearing his words, Natalia frowned even deeper. After a moment of silence, she pushed Livia aside to his side and looked carefully at the gray demon at the entrance of the cave, who was tilting his head curiously and remained motionless.

Behind her, others also gathered around with weapons in hand. "

Brother Jeffrey, this...

what to do.

"Anders said in panic, holding the short spear he had picked up from the bandits, looking sideways at Jeffrey beside him with an unpleasant expression.

Compared to Anders and Pierre who were obviously panicking, Jeffrey was much calmer. He looked at the gray dwarf at the entrance of the cave calmly and whispered, "Why are you panicking? Lady Natalia and Lord Livia are in the front."

Unlike Anders and the others' worries, he saw more. The gray monster did not look like it was going to attack them, otherwise it would have launched an attack long ago. How could it be still lying motionless at the entrance of the cave? Besides, even if it really attacked them, the three extraordinary people, Natalia, Livia and Honasan, would be at the forefront.

There is really no way. No matter how panicked and anxious they are, it is useless. Their power cannot determine life or death. He who has experienced a lot understands this very well.

The other old hunters and Paros, like him, had a thorough understanding of the current situation. However, Paros still held on to the idea of ​​fighting to the death before his death, while the old hunter had long since put life and death aside. He had lived long enough, and even if he did not die here, he would have died in a few years.

Just like that, they and the gray monster seemed to be playing the game of statues, confronting each other motionlessly for a while.

This guy...

Could it be that he really treats this as a game like a child?

Damn it, I can’t waste time like this any longer.

Seeing the increasingly satisfied look in the gray demon's eyes, Livia gritted her teeth and used her left hand to perform the Quinn Seal she had just learned, using most of the remaining seal power to create a thin layer of dark gold shield on the surface of her body.

"I'll go see what it wants to do. If something goes wrong, feel free to support me."

He spoke in a deep voice to Natalia beside him, and slowly walked towards the gray demon at the entrance of the cave. His right hand, which had just recovered, clenched the silver sword, and his left hand also made a half-pinching gesture, ready to raise the sword to block and cast the Igni Sign if anything went wrong.

"Wait..." Seeing that he suddenly covered herself with a layer of dark golden film that she had never seen before, Natalia was about to shout at him but stopped. Looking at Livia slowly walking towards the gray monster, she gritted her teeth.

She also knew that it was not a good idea to just waste time like this. Their current condition made it impossible for them to maintain high mental concentration for a long period of time.

"Honasan."

"Lady Natalia, I'm here."

Honasan, who was standing right behind her, heard her words, took a step forward, holding the knight's sword tightly, and responded in a deep voice, his eyes always fixed on the gray monster at the entrance of the cave.

"Be prepared to cooperate with me. I will use that if the situation goes wrong."

Natalia's expression changed several times, as if she was hesitating about something, and then suddenly her face became firm and she spoke.

"Lady Natalia, that meeting..." Upon hearing her words, Honasan's originally calm expression could no longer be maintained, and he was horrified and wanted to say something.

"No need to say more!"

Natalia interrupted him decisively.

"If we don't use that, we might die here, and then the Lambardia family will be truly destroyed!"
