Immediately afterwards, more and more people fell down, but the strange thing is that other people turned a deaf ear to the fallen people, as if they only had sesame cakes in their eyes. As soon as they bought them, they started to feast on them, and naturally the same thing was waiting for them.

fate.

Just when Emil was nervous about this, Cosette also noticed it, and she quickly vomited out all the sesame seeds she had just eaten.

Emil couldn't help but froze when he saw her actions.

"Good guy, can you still spit out what you have eaten?"

"Haha, your focus is really strange. This is a regular operation of elves. You can also try to control the stomach with your mind."

Emil immediately did as he was told, and sure enough, as his stomach wriggled, all the food he had just devoured was vomited out.

"Damn it, I just want to eat something, why do all kinds of troubles always happen?"

Emil's stomach growled in protest again, and his legs gave way and he sat on the ground.

Cosette saw his frustrated face, hesitated a little and handed the kettle to him.

"Here, take a sip. It should relieve your hunger."

"But what do you do?"

"Idiot, you can drink as much as you want, no matter what I do?" Cosette curled her lips.

"No, no, no." Emil swallowed, then waved his hand quickly.

It's not that he is being polite, but that he was psychologically affected by Cosette's atavism. If the Fairy Fountain is not enough, he may turn the royal capital upside down when he reaches his destination.

"..." Cosette wanted to continue to persuade, but in the end she sighed, "Okay, whatever you want."

Later, Ophelia came back, she was biting sesame seed cakes, looking satisfied.

Seeing her like this, Emil couldn't help but think that knights, like normal people, would really feel hungry, but he reacted immediately.

"Ophelia, spit it out quickly. Didn't you see that those people collapsed after eating the sesame cakes?"

"Huh?" Ophelia looked confused. When she looked back at the group of people, she finally understood that something was wrong.

Then, she followed Cosette's instructions and spit out the food.

"Sorry," Ophelia said sheepishly, "I was a little hungry and dizzy, so I didn't notice the problem for a while."

"Ah? I thought you had been patient." Emil was slightly surprised.

"It seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of me. How can you endure such a thing as hunger?" Ophelia scratched her head.

At this time, Cosette took out the kettle again.

"Take a sip, at least it will last until we reach our destination."

Ophelia silently took the kettle, but her eyes turned to Emil.

"Emil, drink first. There may be a battle next, and I have to rely on you at the critical moment."

"That's right," Cosette clasped her hands in agreement, "I know you're worried about my atavism, but as I said before, I won't have an attack when I'm asleep. At worst, the Fairy Fountain will run out.

I just need to sleep inside the Holy Sword."

After being reminded like this, Emil also remembered.

Indeed, if he fainted from hunger at the critical moment, all three of them might end up here, let alone go to the royal capital.

So, he no longer hesitated and took a big sip of the fairy spring in the kettle.

"Hey, don't drink so much." Cosette suddenly became anxious.

"But didn't you say you can sleep?" Emil looked confused.

"...Oh, okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore." Cosette smiled bitterly, grabbed the kettle, and handed it to Ophelia.

After drinking the Fairy Fountain, Emil immediately became energetic, and he began to focus on the luxurious carriage selling sesame seed cakes.

He once saw the stalls selling sesame cakes in the market. Basically, they were run by common people. After all, the nobles with a little wealth went to run restaurants. So looking at the carriage, he knew that the shop owners were definitely not common people, but nobles were also

You just don't know how to sell sesame cakes.

Emil considered going to the carriage to take a look in person, but the strange sight before him made him dare not act rashly, so he could only ask Ophelia.

"Well..."

Ophelia recalled carefully, but couldn't remember anything. Although it had only been a few minutes, she was in a confused state just now, so naturally she didn't pay much attention to the appearance of the shopkeeper.

While they were watching, more than a hundred people fell to the ground after eating sesame seed cakes, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Although Emil wanted to rescue those people, he was unable to save himself, so he had no way to draw his sword to help.

However, he could clearly summon Lilith and leave here directly, but he stood there for a long time without realizing it, and Ophelia and Cosette were unaware of their problem.

"Oh, why are we standing here stupidly?" Cosette said belatedly.

"Then... let's leave quickly and try to reach our destination before tonight." Ophelia also suggested, but she still couldn't take her eyes away from those people.

Emil knew that he could not escape. He indeed had nothing to do with these people, but now that he had encountered them, how could he stand by and watch? This was not his style, not to mention that he could still do something.

"Ophelia, it's enough for us to do our best. If we fail, we must not feel guilty." Emil said seriously.

"Well, of course." Ophelia nodded.

"Haha," Cosette couldn't help laughing when she heard what the two said, "You two are really the same kind of people."

"Let's not talk about that for now, Your Highness Cosette," Emile stared at her, "What's your opinion?"

"Well, you two have decided that the minority must obey the majority. What else can I say?" Cosette spread her hands.

At this time, Emil no longer hesitated. He immediately summoned Lilith and asked her to spit out a burst of dragon breath towards the carriage.

Those people fell five or six meters away from the carriage, and the flames could not hurt them.

Immediately afterwards, the shop owner seemed to be aware of the attack, and the carriage began to shake violently, even avoiding the dragon's breath. Then a large number of sesame cakes were scattered on the ground.

The next scene made everyone dumbfounded. After the sesame cakes fell on the ground, they all turned into some kind of creatures. After a closer look, they discovered that they were toads.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Cosette suddenly looked disgusted, "Oh my god, this is so disgusting!"

After all, she had eaten all these things. She looked down and saw that the remains of the sesame cakes she had spit out on the ground had turned into the body tissue of a toad. Now she wanted to vomit even more.

Emil was quite calm. He kept staring at the carriage without blinking. He always felt that there was something more terrifying inside.

In fact, he used magic power perception from the beginning, but the result was that there was no trace of magic power in the carriage, so it should not be a monster. Of course, even if this was the case, it would only be a very weak monster.

However, the strength of the enemy has nothing to do with whether it is terrifying or not. After all, Cosette has such great power, but she will still be numbed by a few toads.

After the carriage shook for a while, its shape suddenly began to distort, and soon it turned into something else.

It roughly looks like a plant, as high as a story, with thick roots and a dark purple color. There are a large number of slender vines spreading around it. Countless slender green leaves surround the giant flower bud in the middle, and what is exposed from the flower bud is actually

It was a bloody mouth with jagged teeth. There was a fishy smell in the mouth, and disgusting mucus was constantly falling on the ground, which was obviously corrosive.

Emil had seen this kind of thing in the storybook left by his father. It was a half-animal, half-plant existence. Their roots could be pulled out from the soil and they could move. Moreover, they were carnivorous. They would first prey on their prey.

The most desired thing is of course made of random things as bait. When the prey eats the bait and is poisoned and faints, it will be tied up with vines, then thrown into the mouth and chewed with sharp teeth.

Emil originally thought that this was just a fabrication in a storybook, but he never expected to see it here. It is said that this is not a real monster, but created by an evil magician. Unfortunately, it got out of control in the end, and the magician was also killed.

He ate his own creation.

Since then, all magical creations have escaped, and they can even reproduce and naturally become new species on the continent.

"It turns out to be a sawtooth flower."

"Oh? Do you know His Highness Cosette too?" Emil was slightly surprised.

"Of course, this is a species created by our elves." Cosette said with some pride.

"What?" Emil was dumbfounded.

"Oh, don't be so surprised," Cosette explained, "This thing is just like the domestic animals domesticated by humans. It was created for food. You also know that our elves have always been short of supplies, and this thing can go everywhere.

They search for food, and eventually they will consciously return to their owners. When they become fat, we will kill and eat them. But to be honest, the taste is really disgusting, but we have no choice but to swallow them in order to survive.

"

"I see."

Emil nodded. He immediately understood why this thing tasted bad. After all, who knows what they went out to eat, and maybe they even ate people...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he returned to the topic and asked Lilith to quickly destroy this sawtooth flower.

Lilith breathed out the dragon's breath again, but this time the Sawtooth Flower directly pulled out its roots from the soil and avoided the attack by moving flexibly.

Lilith was not convinced and kept spitting out flames, but for some reason, this huge sawtooth flower was quite flexible and couldn't be burned at all.

Not only that, it tied up those people while avoiding it. Perhaps it felt that it was in danger, so it did not eat its prey immediately, but hung it on its body with the help of vines.

Emil didn't want to tangle with it anymore, so he released the water prison, but it still had no effect. Zigzag Flower collected everyone and ran away.

Seeing that he was about to disappear, Emile's magic could no longer affect him, so he quickly asked Cosette for help.

"Your Highness, please help me quickly."

However, Ophelia was the first to take action. She followed Zigzag and ran farther and farther along the road on the grassland.

Finally, he released his sword skill at a suitable distance, and the powerful shock wave hit the target at once. Zagged Flower stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Look, it turns out that we have to rely on Ophelia to fight." Cosette spread her hands and said.

"hehe."

Emil shook his head with a wry smile, and then slowly walked towards Ophelia.

The sawtooth flower that fell on the ground still wanted to escape, but unfortunately, after it fell just now, its slender vines and roots were entangled, and no matter how hard it struggled, it was in vain.

Then, Emil arrived and gave it the final blow without hesitation.

While waiting for those people to wake up, he looked at the sawtooth flower that had been torn into pieces and couldn't help but think of a good idea.
