The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 188 The Nature of the Minotaur
As the riot stopped, Aqua began to treat the injured adventurers, and Zun Zun and the others also helped to sort the goods and repair the damaged carriages.

Ultimately, the problem in this incident lies with them, and it would be unacceptable not to help.

Soon night falls.

"Light of Saber..."

Zun Zun and his companions, together with the people from the caravan, built several large bonfires similar to campfire racks. The caravan's carriages were parked in a circle with the bonfires as the center, serving as fences.

This not only blocks the wind when camping, but also serves as a barrier in case of monster attacks. The downside is that you can't drive off immediately.

But the caravan that had suffered the disaster could not drive on its way anyway, so they could only camp here.

Everyone was warmly welcomed.

When defeating the high-jumping kite during the day, Zun Zun and Youyou were very active. Not only him, but Sato Kazuma also kept using bows and arrows to destroy monsters. After the battle, Aqua treated all the injured people for free and received praise.

But at this point they couldn’t say that those monsters were attracted by Darkness, so they were very polite when accepting the hospitality out of guilt.

When the caravan was about to pay, Sato Kazuma refused with a determined look on his face.

After all, in this situation they are just pretending to be good guys. This guy is so thick-skinned yet he refuses this kind of thing without a second thought. Should we say he is a scumbag with a bottom line?

Zun Zun also looked down upon this reward.

Compared to the money, this commotion allowed him to move up a level, which made him happier.

"I still need to learn explosion magic after all."

Huihui shouted, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Zunzun, you must think clearly. If you don’t learn this time, you will never have another chance! Listen to my advice. Explosion magic is more suitable for you! Master Explosion with me and go to the abyss of magic!”

“Meihui, don’t make things worse. I admit that Explosion Magic is powerful, but there are too few occasions where it can be used! Just this time, you can only watch the show from the sidelines!”

"What...! Yunyun, are you trying to say that I was useless at that time? I was just afraid that it would affect you. If I had taken action, those high-jumping kites would have been wiped out in an instant!"

"If that happens, everyone will be destroyed!"

The two started arguing about what to do with Zun Zun, and the situation escalated until Sato Kazuma came here to inquire about the situation.

"What happened to the two of them?"

"It's actually a problem with my skill point allocation."

Zun Zun handed him the card.

Although the brightness of the fire was not very high, the 50 skill points on the card made him dizzy.

Some people work their ass off for a few skill points, while some people have so many skill points they don’t know how to use them... The gap between people is really too big.

"So what do you think, Zun Zun?"

"First, the explosion magic is rejected. I have already learned the explosion magic, so I don't need it anymore."

Although there are some disadvantages to lack of precision, the power of the explosion has reached a level where precision is not necessary.

In addition, there is no need to learn new magic. Instead of dispersing skill points to learn miscellaneous skills, it is better to simply increase basic attributes to make your skills more powerful.

In fact, many great magicians did this. The most famous legendary wizard, Gandalf, only chose illumination.

Then consider Zun Zun's fighting style.

"It is better to increase the power of magic."

“…There’s more to come.”

Sato Kazuma curled the corners of his mouth.

After seeing the power of Zun Zun using advanced magic today, I was already amazed at his fighting ability. If he becomes even stronger... won't he become more reliable?!

So, under the rather dissatisfied gazes of Huihui and Youyou, Zun Zun turned on high-speed chanting, magic expansion and power amplification.

In short, add some dark blue!
The reduction in skill points resulted in an increase in strength. Although it was not an exaggerated geometric increase in strength, it was at least a billion points stronger than before.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.

Zun Zun looked over curiously and found that Aqua was performing some wonderful talent, which caused the surrounding adventurers and merchants to cheer loudly and even throw money at her.

“Once again! Ms. Aqua, please perform your talent again!”

"I'm willing to pay! So, please perform again!"

"Please don't do this, I don't rely on this to make a living, so don't throw money, please don't do this!"

Aqua, on the other hand, stopped at the right time.

She seems to know how to fish quite well. Should I say she is worthy of being the goddess of water?
Sato Kazuma covered his forehead helplessly, "That guy... why not just rely on this business to make a living, why bother being an adventurer?"

"I feel the same way."

Zun Zun agreed with him.

After the noise, it's time to go to bed.

Knowing that Aqua's physique would attract the undead, Zun Zun wisely stayed away from them and went to sleep in the carriage with Huihui and Youyou.

Because the carriage was compact, it was a bit crowded for three people to lie side by side.

"Youyou, you are still too big and take up too much space. You might as well sleep outside."

"That's too much. You actually said I was big..."

"That's right! It's all because of your damn breasts. They take up so much space that it's becoming difficult for me to even breathe!"

“Is that so? Hehehe…”

"I'm not complimenting you!"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

“Mei, Megumin, if you feel it’s too crowded here, why not go and sleep in another carriage? Anyway, Kazuma-san and Aqua-san are sleeping outside, so you must be happy to enjoy the space of the carriage by yourself!”

"How could I let you two be alone here?"

The two of them started fighting in the small space. This might be their way of promoting their relationship, but the one who got hurt was Zun Zun, who was either punched in the chin or slapped in the stomach. It was not until he was elbowed in the chest that he finally couldn't help but speak.

"...How about you two just sleep here and I'll leave?"

"No!" "You can't leave, my Lord!"

The two said in unison.

Well, I can’t leave even if I want to.

At this time, Huihui said, “Youyou, why don’t we have a showdown? Whoever loses gets to leave this carriage!”

"A showdown? Sure! I won't lose this time!"

"Okay! Then the way to decide the winner is to play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses..."

“Wait, Megumin, this isn’t right! Normally, shouldn’t the person being challenged decide the outcome? Why is it you, Megumin, who decides?”

"...Tsk."

Hearing Yunyun say this, Huihui let out a very obvious sound of displeasure.

But she would not give up just like that. Instead, she challenged him in an annoying tone: "Oh, Youyou, are you scared? You are the daughter of the Crimson Demon Clan leader, but you are afraid of playing rock-paper-scissors? It's really funny."

“What did you say? Ok, ok, since Huihui said so, let’s decide the winner with rock-paper-scissors!” Youyou fought back unwillingly.

Won!

A sinister smile appeared on Huihui’s lips.

As if she had thought of something, Youyou said, “But Huihui, you won’t cheat on us, right? You clearly lost but you said it had to be best of three, then it became best of five, and finally you said you didn’t use your true abilities and wanted to start the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth stage or something…”

"I wouldn't do that!"

Huihui’s cheeks turned slightly red.

This was back when she was a student, and she had to lie... ahem, win over Youyou, and rely on him to survive.

But now she is completely different!

"Regret as much as you can, Youyou. You actually dared to challenge me! You should leave here like a defeated dog and shed tears of regret in the corner!"

"I, I won't lose!"

The two of them got serious.

They looked at each other with burning eyes, and there was no outsider in their eyes.

Zun Zun felt left out.

He suddenly remembered that the essence of the Minotaur was actually the humiliation of one man by another, and the existence of women in it was not important at all.

Like now.

But it's the opposite.

For the two of them, it doesn’t matter whether Zun Zun is here or not. What matters is that they don’t want to lose to each other.

Hui Hui grinned and said, “Then let’s increase the difficulty. I will release the cloth next, and it won’t change. What do you think? I told you what I was going to release, Youyou.”

“You’re lying, aren’t you? Megumin, you always say that. And then you change it and say you lied to me.”

"No, this is the answer I tell you as a friend. When have I ever lied to a friend? Youyou, don't you trust your friends?"

"Friends!?"

This word can be said to be a decisive blow.

Youyou was already shaken. She was so flustered that she didn't know what to do, but she still gathered her strength and fought back.

“Then I will use the stone. I will not lie to Huihui because we are friends!”

"That's very nice to say."

Huihui narrowed her eyes.

In the brief silence, the two men increased their momentum as if they were going to duel, and a strong sense of oppression filled the small space.

At a certain moment——

"Scissors, Rock--" X2
At the moment when Huihui was about to produce cloth and Youyou was about to produce stone.

"Okay, that's it."

Zun Zun suddenly reached out, hugged their slender waists, then held them both in his arms and lay down together in the narrow carriage.

"babble--!"

"ah!"

The two of them exclaimed in unison.

Because they were pressed so closely together, I could feel their stiff bodies and their slightly quickened breathing.

"Zun, Zun Zun...what are you doing!?"

“Tut, tut, tut, you suddenly hug me and what…! I’m so, so embarrassed…”

Zun Zun doesn't care about these things.

If you don't take action at a time like this, what kind of man are you?
"It's already late, and I don't know what will happen tomorrow, so go to bed early today. Or... do you hate being with me?"

"No, no... um, um... I, I don't hate it..."

"...Zun Zun is really tough."

With Zun Zun's strong intervention, they stopped arguing. The three of them squeezed into the small carriage and slept in each other's arms under the contemptuous gaze of the red dragon cub.
