Layla is the daughter of a tenant in Guruling.

In places like Guruling, where there are poor mountains and rivers, most of the residents who live are mixed species of humans and demons like Layla or other lower races. They are humble and are born to be oppressed by rulers, like grass.

Layla is also the heir to this fate.

Her father and mother were both descendants of the losers in the abyss war and were descendants of slaves plundered by the demons in the war. Not every human and demon can have a prominent background like Lance. They have become the most humble dust in the world. Life has no future to say, and they live just to live.

Even so, fate still did not favor Layla. Her mother died of illness when she was only nine years old, leaving behind a sister four years younger than Layla and a younger brother who was still in her infancy. Her father had to get up early every day to work and rest day and use her meager salary to support the family of four. The burden of taking care of the food and clothing of her younger brother and sister and the whole family fell on Layla from then on.

It is said that children of poor people have become family members early. Although such days are difficult, they have lasted safely for several years.

Until recently, my father's health was getting worse day by day, and he had reached the point where he was exhausted, and the situation of the Layla family became more difficult.

The reason why Layla ventured into this woods was because she heard that there was a plant called sycamore flower in this forest that could cure her father's illness, but this kind of flower could only bloom at night, and Layla could only bet on her own luck.

A family of four like them survived through their father's hard work. She knew very well that once her father fell, she and her younger brothers and sisters would have no way to survive. The rest was to sell themselves to the rich as slaves, but when she saw with her own eyes that the bodies of young girls dragged out from the rich families every morning, the rich mansions were comparable to those demon caves in Layla's eyes.

If I were to be bullied and killed in the hands of such a hypocritical person, I might as well let me die in the mouth of a beast like this...

But, I feel sorry for my younger brothers and sisters.

Layla held the dim lantern and thought of it when she entered the forest.

The two emotions of sadness and liberation were intertwined on her face, but when she made up her mind to take steps, she found that many things were unexpectedly smooth. Along the way, she did not alarm any beasts, and now, the light blue water rosy flower blooming by the lake was blooming in front of her.

Maybe if I can go back safely, my father's illness can be cured.

Leila thought happily.

In an instant, all the grievances and perseverance turned into joy. She didn't bother to look around, gently put down the lantern in her hand and walked towards the water rosy flowers by the lake. Because she was soaked by anyone all year round, the stones near the lake were very wet, so Leila's movements were very careful. When she put her toes on her toes and finally picked the flowers, she had not yet transformed into joy. The lantern behind her was suddenly knocked down, making the sound of the outer wall of the glass rubbing and rolling on the stones.

As if she was implied by some kind of hint, Layla's heart skipped a beat. When she couldn't help looking back in the sound, she couldn't believe it - what was revealed in front of her was a beast three times larger than hers!

Shadow Wolf.

This is a monster dormant in the woods and wilderness. They are six meters long and about three meters high. Their fur is black all over. They hide in the darkness like a layer of natural disguise, so they are named. The most terrifying thing about Shadow Wolf is not its individual lethality, but Shadow Wolf is a group animal. Usually when you see the first one, you can soon see the second one, the third one, and even a group.

Layla is not sure about this.

But looking at the saliva that grew sharp teeth in the mouth, the apricot yellow beast's eyes emitted a horror, which made Layla feel the threat from this beast.

Sorry, it doesn't matter if you say it's eaten, it's actually a lie.

Who will come, who will save me!

But the only answers to her were the worms in the woods and the unknown birds. This place was where even the most experienced hunters dared to go deep in the night, let alone others. Layla felt her heart beating wildly, and an unprecedented despair arose.

Are you about to die here?

Before Leilado could think, Shadow Wolf had already bent his hind legs and jumped towards her.

Perhaps it was because of survival. Layla actually grabbed a stone at hand and threw it out and hit Shadow Wolf in the head. This gap made Shadow Wolf unable to successfully pounce on her prey, but instead let Layla escape from it.

A rare opportunity.

Leila dared not turn around, so she could only run forward with no life.

But unexpectedly, the Shadow Wolf was not impatient and slowly turned her body and followed her from behind. It kept chasing her because it was very clear that the direction where Layla was running away was the encirclement of her companions. A group creature like Shadow Wolf does not compete for bravery in hunting, but pays attention to group cooperation. What this Shadow Wolf needs to do now is to drive its prey into the encirclement they set up.

In this way, a delicious meal delivered to the door will be hard to fly.

Compared to Shadow Wolf's calmness, Layla's side has reached the end of her life. After all, she is a girl. Although she usually carries housework, her physical strength is only average. With such a desperate and continuous running, her physical strength is consumed too quickly - especially in this situation where she loses lighting and panic, her fear makes her body overdraw even more serious.

No, my legs seemed to be filled with lead, so heavy.

Layla felt that her feet were almost no longer their own, and even breathing became more and more difficult. However, the goddess of fate seemed to be in opposition to Layla. The vine at her suddenly tripped her and threw her forward with the inertia of running.

Layla saw the giant wolf behind her pace slowly, her eyes under her white eyes were obviously joking. However, this was not the worst. The worst situation was that there were constant rustling sounds from the nearby leaves. After a closer look, six or seven shadow wolf poked out from the darkness and surrounded herself from all directions.

Layla's pupils contracted, and Death felt it was so real for the first time. She hugged her body tightly and curled up into the shadow of the big tree and shivered.

Dad, mom...

I had made up my mind, but tears still flowed down my face.

"No, don't come here, please... who will save me..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!"

The head wolf, who was the largest among all the shadow wolf, stood there and roared, as if he had issued a collective attack order. The wolf pack responded and roared and rushed towards Layla's body.

Layla closed her eyes suddenly.

In this way, the connection with the world will be temporarily cut off. Although I know very well that this is just a way to cover up my ears and steal the bell, there is no other way.

With his own strength, he could never get out of the trap. Thinking of this, Layla lost her last little hope.

She quietly waited for the last moment to arrive.

However, at this moment, as a group of guards in black armor descended from the sky, the breeze blowing in this dense woods began to change the direction of the wind and also change Layla's fate.

Heigang arrived with the black-armored guards, and suddenly, a fierce battle without hesitation broke out. Although Shadow Wolf was the dominant size, this group of teams led by Heigang were very agile. As the Demon Lord systematically commented, this was a strong soldier specially drawn from the army in order to take care of his son.

Although the combat power is not comparable to the elite of the Demon King Army, at least in terms of combat power, it is more than the ordinary guards. The C- troops fight against Shadow Wolf, which is only at E-level, and there is no pressure at all. As long as it is not too much, it is simply a crushing force in strength.

The head wolf over there also saw that this group of new guys was difficult to deal with, especially the Heigang, who was in charge, threw several wolf out of the battlefield with the power of one person alone. The head wolf was also very conflicted. The bone was too hard and was obviously not easy to chew. If it was hard, it might even have to break its teeth, but when the fat meat flew into its mouth, how could it swallow it?

Finally, it was the black steel that helped it make up its mind.

Heigang is very clear about the habits of Shadow Wolves. They have a strong sense of group consciousness. Once they kill themselves, they will be in a state of dying. Therefore, Heigang tried his best to ask his subordinates to restrain themselves. Although Shadow Wolves' strength is not very good, it is difficult to say that no one will be injured by fighting. He remembered that the order Lance gave him was just to rescue the trapped girl in the forest, so he only needed to drive the group of Shadow Wolves away.

Heigang is worthy of being a former mercenary. He constantly adjusts his formation and puts pressure on the wolf pack. After injuring the two wolf legs in succession, the shadow wolf men received the order from the leader wolf and had no choice but to retreat.

The wolf's eyes were full of resentment, but it had no choice. The law in the abyss was the prey of the weak. It not only applies to people, but even these beasts hidden in the woods.

Seeing that the wolves finally disappeared in the leaves, Heigang used the tentacles on his head for a while, and then relaxed after confirming that there were no other creatures nearby. He also let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, today he encountered a beast like Shadow Wolf, which would not fight with his life. If he met a more deadly viper, a cloud-haired leopard and a blood lion, he would have a headache.

Putting away his weapons, Heigang turned his head and looked at Layla.

He is from the Ant-Man, so he is not very clear about human aesthetics.

But this woman had a bulge in front and a tilted back. Although her face was a little dirty, she looked soft and timid, and she thought she was the young master's dish. Thinking of this, Hei Gang walked towards the girl.

Leila was still in shock. Although she felt that the people who saved her in front of her looked strange, as a demon, she had many strange looks, so Leila still thanked the other party carefully.

"That, thank you for saving me."

“…”

Heigang didn't answer a word, but directly reached out to copy, hugged Lara's slender waist and carried it to his shoulders, and then returned with the remaining guards as usual. The Ant-Man was born to be a good at exploring the way, so not long after, the group saw the exit.

Layla, who thought she had escaped the wolf's mouth just now, found that she did not seem to escape.

"Well, please let me go, I'm not delicious."

Layla cried like this with all her might, while knocking the Heigang's armor with her hands, and she probably wanted to struggle off Heigang's shoulder, but she was too weak and the fist that hit Heigang's armor could not even make the other party react a little.

She has heard that the demons are very cruel. Not only are they saved, but they may end up even more miserable than being killed.

However, before she could wait for a moment, Layla thought about it, and the black ant general carrying her on her shoulder suddenly stopped. Layla looked up and couldn't help but be stunned. What appeared in front of her was a neat convoy.

Before Layla could figure out the identity of the group, Heigang threw Layla's butt on the ground without any mercy, and then said respectfully to the people in the ground dragon car: "Master, I've brought the person back."

Leila had already encountered too many surprises tonight, but nothing shocked her more than what was in front of her.

Because at that moment, she firmly believed that she had seen the prince.
