Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. The clerk was just joking, but Meiko Anten kept it firmly in her mind.

If you want to find this kind of banned books, the best place to go is the library of princes and nobles. Shahai City is a very remote city, so the nobles here probably don’t have much power.

"You don't want to go into that city to look for books, do you?"

"Of course not." Meiko Anten waved her hand.

Just when Beth was about to relax, An Teng Yazi stared at the City Lord's Mansion with a burning gaze and said something shocking: "If you want to find a book, you naturally won't look for it in this poor village. If you want to find it, you should go to the Imperial City."

This made Beth stammer and stammer for a while, unable to utter anything. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly: "As expected of you, your ideas are indeed different from ordinary people. But there is one thing I must remind you."

"I'm all ears." An Teng Meizi withdrew her gaze from the City Lord's Mansion and started walking forward again.

"Each of the four superpowers has its own ace army, and their leaders are powerful enough to rival the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Tribe. I have no objection to you wanting to stroll around the Imperial City, but if we are discovered, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."

"The Four Heavenly Kings..." After a moment's thought, Meiko Anten asked another question that surprised Beth, "What kind of Warcraft are they equivalent to?"

"How could anyone compare like that..." Beth complained speechlessly, "You can't measure the combat effectiveness of intelligent creatures by that of Warcraft, or you'll definitely suffer in the future."

Both humans and demons are intelligent creatures. Just as humans can create magical weapons to fight, demons can also obtain some powerful magical weapons through dungeons.

An unprepared and platinum-level adventurer can only fight against a level three monster at most, but after being fully armed, depending on the strength of his equipment, he can even fight against a level six monster.

The same is true for the Four Heavenly Kings. Moreover, the physical strength and total magic power of the demons themselves are much higher than those of ordinary people. Therefore, even if they rely solely on their physical strength, they can go head-to-head with level seven demon beasts.

If they were equipped with equipment, they would even have the powerful combat capability to kill ninth-level monsters. These were the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race, a powerful existence that was close to the ceiling in this continent.

"If that's the case, it would be too troublesome." Meiko Anten thought seriously about Beth's words.

Suddenly she recalled that when she was leaving the royal city of Lance, something shot through her wings and she fell into the forest.

The person who shot him down was most likely the leader of Lance's ace army as Beth mentioned, the one with strength comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings.

Her current strength is enough to fight against level six monsters. With the help of the magic wand "Yandi" to enhance the power of fire magic and the attribute restraint, she should be able to fight against level seven monsters.

The only level eight dragon she had seen was the Wind and Fire Two-Headed Dragon. As for the level nine dragon, it was the black dragon that had given her a reverse scale in Lance Junior High School.

Although she had never fought with these two dragons, just from what she felt with her detection magic and the magical fluctuations emanating from them, Anten Meiko knew that she could not defeat them.

But as long as she can transform and exert all her combat power to 100%, let alone level nine, she will not be afraid of even level ten monsters in the Eclipse form.

Thinking of this, An Teng Meizi couldn't help but blurt out: "Ruby, where are you..."

Beth was curious when she heard this: "Huh? Who is Ruby?"

"Ruby...who is that..." Anten Meiko paused, her mind racing. In a trance, she recalled the scene of herself passing through the space storm, and a petite figure stood in front of her...

But she could not recall the appearance of this figure. The more she tried to remember it, the more her head twitched and hurt as if it were being pricked by needles or struck by lightning.

In order to prevent Beth from noticing anything unusual and to avoid doing anything embarrassing that would attract attention, Anten Meiko simply gave up thinking.

After all, she didn't want to collapse in the street in public.

As they walked, the two of them thought about their future. Meiko Anten decided to go to the imperial city of Potter Country. The news that there might be a collection of books about the specific details of the hero summoning was enough to attract her.

"Since you've decided to go, I'll go with you. After all, you can't understand the content without me, right?"

"Well, I'll have to trouble you later."

"However, the cost of living in Potter Country is much higher than in other cities. The few large gold coins you have may not be enough."

"It doesn't matter. If the money is not enough, we can just earn more. It's not like we don't have the ability to do it anyway."

The two of them paused in tacit understanding. They turned around and looked up at the billboard above their heads, on which were clearly written large words in neon lights.

"Adventurer's Guild, here we are again."

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 61: The Ruins

They walked around the Adventurer's Guild and checked the commissioned tasks. Taking into account the completion time, difficulty and reward amount, they finally came up with the most cost-effective task. This task was not at the adamantine level, but at the lower mithril level.

Suppress the swarms of sandworms that invade the commercial routes and receive corresponding rewards based on the number of sandworm spines. It can be said that the more you work, the more you get.

Sandworm spines are about the size of a baby's finger and grow on the sandworm's head. They are the only special sensory organ on their body.

They have no vision or hearing, and the only organ that can identify prey and direction is the spines on their heads. The commission is also based on this to determine the number of sandworms hunted by adventurers.

Of course, the materials extracted from the sandworms, including mucus, blood, and magic cores, can be sold for a certain amount of money, of course not a lot, after all, the sandworms are actually just second or third level monsters.

Meiko Ando and the others once again came to the main road they had taken with the caravan the day before yesterday, but at a glance they did not see any trace of sandworms.

According to the information she got from the Adventurer's Guild, sandworms usually hide deep underground and only emerge when they need to hunt or their lives are threatened.

Others may have no way to deal with this, but Ando Meiko is different. She possesses super-large-range detection magic. Even if the range of the detection magic is greatly reduced when penetrating dense obstacles, it can still penetrate to a position about 400 meters underground.

The unique magic possessed by Ando Meiko was brought from her world and created by her own imagination. Its effect will definitely be several times better than the magic of the same level that has been circulating in this world.

The tentacles of the detection magic quickly penetrated deep into the ground. Under the deliberate control of Ando Meiko, all the detection magic power on the ground was directed towards the underground, so the original detection distance was directly doubled to 800 meters.

A topographic map of the desert's underground quickly appeared in her consciousness. The sandworms' habitat was actually not as deep as Ando Meiko had imagined. It was only between one hundred and two hundred meters. Even the stronger sand worms were only slightly over two hundred meters deep.

After all, the sand in this desert only covers less than 300 meters underground, and below that is the rock layer.

It's just because they are lying there without any movement that people can't feel the presence of sandworms through the vibration of the ground.

However, just when Ando Meiko was about to retract the detection magic, the detection magic that reached 600 meters underground suddenly increased its expansion speed to 900 meters.

She was slightly stunned, and her eyes widened in disbelief in her consciousness space, because six hundred meters below the ground, there was actually a super large hole.

Moreover, there are still many intact remnants of buildings under the cavity.

"Is that an underground layer or ruins?" Meiko Ando couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

Beth noticed the change in Ando Meiko's expression and asked, "Did you find it?"

Meiko Ando glanced at her, an idea suddenly struck her, and she immediately walked over and held her hand.

Beth's heart trembled slightly, but soon the shock in her big eyes completely washed away the little emotions in her heart.

She quickly closed her eyes and carefully observed the scaled-down three-dimensional image that seemed to appear right before her eyes in the darkness, and was so surprised that she was speechless.

"Is this your detection magic? You can even share your vision with others?"

"Well, it was just a sudden idea that came to me. I didn't expect it to work, but this is also a good thing." Ando Meiko said, looking at the empty space at the bottom of the image. "As you can see, I originally just wanted to look for sandworms, but I unexpectedly discovered a relic."

As she spoke, excitement shone in Ando Meiko's eyes. Ever since she came to this world, perhaps influenced by the atmosphere of this world, she had become more eager for a thrilling and adventurous life rather than a peaceful life.

Especially after obtaining the final treasure from the underground level of Soul Shattering, the excitement that came naturally made her feel the joy in her heart.

"But it's just a discovery. We don't seem to have a way to get in, right?" Beth's words were like a basin of cold water, directly extinguishing the fire in Ando Meiko's heart.

"You're right. We have no way to get in. Even if I had the ability to dig a passage directly from here, I can't guarantee that the yellow sand above won't flow back in."

If the yellow sand flows back and completely buries the ruins, it will be useless even if we can get inside.

"I remember this city used to be the territory of the demons, right? Could this underground ruins have something to do with the demons?"

Beth nodded and said, "It's not impossible, but even if we knew the history of the underground ruins, we still wouldn't be able to get in, right?"

Buried six hundred meters underground, with a three hundred meter thick layer of yellow sand covering it, the entrance to the ruins must have been buried as well.

Meiko Ando was unwilling to give up, and she took Beth back to her residence in the Sand Sea City in frustration. She found that she could not get in and could not get what she saw. This disappointment made Meiko Ando lose the joy of fighting the sandworms.

However, after she went back and took a shower, her physical and mental state returned to normal. All her resentment and frustration had disappeared, but she still had a real desire to not go out.

At night, it was time for storytelling again. Beth took the fairy tale book in her hand and continued reading where she had left off last night.

After the Chaos Consciousness created the beasts, it fell into a deep sleep. Her children gradually developed their own wisdom and were born into forms through the contents left over from their mother's creation of all things.

The first to appear are space and time. They use the power of space to constantly travel through this world and witness the wonderful things, while time uses the power of time reversal, acceleration, slowdown, and pause to play pranks.

All living creatures on earth suffered terribly because of this prank. Finally, the mountains, rivers, grass and trees could no longer bear the evil of time, so they combined all their strength together to create wood, water and earth.

As Time's sisters, the three of them persuaded her kindly and finally stopped her mischievous behavior after she agreed to play with Time.

As time went by, when Water turned into a cloud and carried Time on its back, Time asked curiously, "Sister Water, your body has become so long. Will you touch your tail when you circle around in one place?"

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 62: Fishing for Sandworms

Shui had never tried it before, so she was very curious, so she took the time to circle around the wood on the ground.

One circle, two circles, three circles, her tail became longer and longer. Finally, after running for who knows how many circles, Shui's head hit her own tail.

The collision and friction of the clouds produced lightning, and when the lightning fell on Mu's body, flames immediately ignited.

The flames on his body were extremely hot, burning Mu so much that she screamed in fear. He didn't notice that Tu was taking a nap, and stepped on Tu's left hand, causing her to scream in pain.

Suddenly, a golden object penetrated Tu's left hand and fell out of her palm. As soon as she appeared, she had her own consciousness and called herself Jin.

The faster Mu ran, the bigger the fire became. She happened to see a space that had moved to a nearby area. She ran towards the space. The space saw her covered in fire and ran away desperately while shouting "Don't come over here".

The faster Mu chased, the faster Space ran. Their movement drove the air and gave birth to another consciousness: wind.

They ran and ran around this world, and after countless days and months, they were so tired that they felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Two beams of light, one black and one white, came out of her eyes and turned into a pair of twins. One of them was called Light and the other was called Darkness.

Mu caught up with the space and was about to ask for help but tripped herself. She hit the space and the fire on her body spread over.

Seeing this, Feng wanted to help. She exhaled to blow out the fire, but the fire burned even more vigorously. The flames in space and on Mu's body finally condensed into a ball and transformed into another consciousness, fire.

"So this world's basic attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, light, and darkness, as well as the creation attributes of time and space, are all derived from fairy tales." Beth couldn't help but sigh after reading this.

Although she felt that what was said in fairy tales could not be true, she really liked these little quarrels between family members. She had experienced them before, but now she could only yearn for them.

Ando Meiko had fallen asleep. She looked up at the peaceful sleeping face, gently leaned over, and kissed the delicate cheek.

"It would be nice to start a family with you." She whispered softly with a faint smile on her face.

The next day, they woke up early, had breakfast downstairs in the hotel, and then went directly to the place where they found the sandworms and ruins the day before.

After a night of transition, Ando Meiko no longer had many thoughts or regrets about the inaccessible ruins. She once again activated the detection magic to look for traces of the sandworms.

Many sandworms have left the place where they were lurking yesterday, but the distance they moved was not too far, only about 20 to 30 meters, and they are still within the coverage of Ando Meiko.

Sandworms are like fish living in a sea of ​​sand. Generally, they will not easily float to the surface of the sand unless they need to prey on other creatures to fill their stomachs.

Fishing for sandworms is an important activity before hunting sandworms. Its ultimate goal is to lure the sandworms out of the sand and kill them on land.

Meiko Ando led a relatively gentle beast to the middle of the sand. Beth used earth and water magic to solidify the sand, creating an earth wall with a diameter of ten meters and a height of three meters. This was set up to prevent the beast from escaping.

Ando Meiko snapped her fingers, and a spark shot out from her palm, landing on the beast's butt, instantly igniting its hair and starting a raging fire.

The beast was frightened for a moment, roaring loudly in panic, and ran away like crazy in the earth wall made by Beth, rolling over and over, trying to put out the fire on its body.

Out of panic, it kept hitting the earth wall, making a lot of noise. The more the beast did this, the more relieved Ando Meiko felt.

Because in the observation field of view of the fishing radar, the sandworms have sensed the movement above their heads through their spines, and they all began to wriggle and float rapidly towards the ground.

"Here it comes, now!" Meiko Ando took a step forward, her figure shot out like lightning. She picked up the beast with one hand and threw it to the side, while turning around and punching it.

Her punch was accurate, neither fast nor slow, and landed just when the sandworm broke through the sand and emerged with its upper body, smashing its head with one punch.

Disgusting mucus splashed everywhere. After a successful attack, Ando Meiko quickly unfolded the glass shield to block all the mucus. At the same time, after covering her hands with a layer of magic power, she grabbed the sandworm's corpse and threw it out of the earth wall.

Although the beast was thrown away by Ando Meiko, it did not suffer any substantial damage because Beth cast wind magic to protect it. So after a moment, it immediately got up from the ground and ran around in the earth wall again.

Beth once again cast earth-attribute magic to cover the area around Ando Meiko. The originally sunken quicksand stabilized again and returned to the same sand as before.

Another sandworm was attracted by the beast and came out to hunt. Meiko Ando and Beth did the same, pushing the beast away, killing the sandworm with one blow, throwing the body out of the circle, and recovering the field.

Even the stronger sand worms, which were protected by wind and sand, could not escape. Hunting sand worms was as easy as an assembly line for them. In less than an hour, all the sand worms in the area were wiped out.

Fortunately, insect-like monsters are usually not very intelligent. If other slightly smarter beasts came here, they would definitely turn around and run away if they realized that so many of their companions had died here.

After sensing through the fishing radar that there were no sandworms around, Ando Meiko changed the location to attack again, using the same method as before.

As a third-level monster, the sandworm's habits are much more troublesome than ordinary fourth-level or even fifth-level monsters. Therefore, the reward for the sandworm subjugation mission is the highest among the Mithril-level missions, even higher than the ordinary Platinum-level missions.

But even so, not many Mithril or Adamantine level adventurers are willing to take it on.

The reason is naturally what Meiko Ando and Beth saw at this time. Although sandworms can be caught by wild beasts, because these worms are generally social creatures, it is easy for one to cause a chain reaction.

Once one is hooked, even if there is not enough prey to go around, the entire group will emerge from the ground together.

It's okay for one or two of them, but if more than a dozen of these troublesome beasts come out from the ground together, it will be no joke. The quicksand tunnels they leave behind will even change the entire battle terrain, leaving the soldiers helpless.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 63: The Magic Car

Of course, it is not impossible for Ando Meiko and her partner to do the same, with one responsible for killing and the other responsible for assisting in repairing the venue, with clear division of labor and tacit cooperation.

However, someone who possesses such precise detection magic, and who can kill a level three monster with one blow in a very short time, and then clean up the corpse, must be an adventurer at least at the crystal mine level or even higher.

The problem is that adventurers of this level already have many well-paid commissions, and there is no need to stoop to the Mithril level to take on troublesome commissions such as defeating sandworms.
