In front of Ray is the body of a crushed palm crab.
　The palm crab had its shell destroyed, its body burned, and its head crushed, but it was nothing more than an ingredient for Ray.

(Well, you'll have to go back to Gorsuch and ask if you can eat it or not.)

　If you look at the palm crab again, the scissors will stand out.
　Scissors were not able to attack Seto, but if they hit him, they were certain to have considerable power.
　Also, there is no doubt that the crust including scissors is sturdy, and it seems to be fully usable as a material.

"The scissors must be full of meat."

　After all, that was where Ray first thought.
　You can't eat sand surpents, but palm crabs don't.
　If you hear about August, it's no surprise to turn your head around.

"Grull?"

　Ray immediately pulls out a knife to disassemble Seto, who cries out what to do with this palm crab.

"Whether you can eat it or not, I'll collect the magical stones now. I haven't decided yet which one will absorb, death-size or set."

　She tells him so and examines the body of the palm crab, which has been broken by a blow from Seto.
　Then he finds a magical stone in what appears to be his heart.

"That's it,"
"Grull".
"Wait a minute,"

　As Sett approaches her, Ray takes a flowing dagger from Mistilling and cleanses the magical stone.

"Here it is,"

　It's not that big, but the strange reason Seto is interested is because he's the monster he's beaten by himself.
　Ray asks, patting Sett on the head, a little doubtful.

"Will Seto absorb this magical stone?"
"Glu?"

　a set with a slight tilt of one's head
　They probably thought it would be okay to absorb it into death size.
　However, the death size has increased corrosion by absorbing sand serpent's magic stones.
　If you hadn't mastered any skills by absorbing sand serpent magic stones, you might have wanted to absorb palm crab magic stones.
　However, since the level of corrosion had risen, Ray couldn't even say that he wanted the magical stone of a palm crab that had been knocked down by Seto alone.

(Well, I did the first thing that attracted the attention of the palm crab... that was all I did.)

　The act enabled Seto to make a surprise attack on the palm crab, but Ray doesn't take it as his credit.
　That's why it was decided that Seto should absorb the palm crab's magical stones.

"Here we go,"

　Rey tells him so and throws a magical stone at Seto.
　Naturally, Seto takes the magical stone with his fist and swallows it.

[Seto has mastered the skills of Earth Arrow Lv.1]

　Such an announcement message echoes through Ray's mind.

"...well, I expected it,"

　It was certain that the soil line could be attacked, as the sand walls prevented the attack of Seto.
　With that in mind, Earth Arrow is a reasonable place.

"Now the wind window, the ice... the water ice arrow, and the earth arrow?" Are we going to get a firerow in the near the end of the day.

　I was wondering about Ray, but even if I absorbed the magical stones of the fire monsters, I somehow felt that the level of the firebrace would go up.

"Anyway, will you try to use it for a moment, Earth Arrow... an arrow made of earth, and I think you can expect a certain amount of mass and aggression."
"Rolling".

　At Ray's word, Seto immediately purges and uses Earth Arrow.
　Then an arrow made of five earth floated to Seto's side.

"Five bottles? ... Then try shooting them in the sand."
"Grull!"

　A fast-flying earth arrow, though not as fast as Wind Arrow, hits the sand and it sinks completely into the sand.

"... It's sand, so I don't know how powerful it is."
"Guru..."

　Seth nods in agreement to Ray's murmuring.
　In fact, as long as the thrust was sand, it was certain that the scene would be as it is now if it had more power than a certain amount of power.

(but it's a little too much for that palm crab)

　There is no doubt that the shell could be used as a raw material and that the meat would probably be edible.
　It's not acceptable for Ray to soil it.
　Ray caresses himself not to worry, as Seto looks apologetically at him with round eyes.

"I don't mean that we have to know Earth Arrow's capabilities at once. You can look for a monster tomorrow and use it for it. I'd like to use corrosion, too."

　Corrosion is naturally effective when the opponent is equipped with weapons and protective equipment.
　As it is... basically ineffective for a palm crab whose body is now in front of Rey.

(Well, if the corrosion level reaches 5 or higher, perhaps the corrosion performance will improve.)

　For now, only metal weapons and protective equipment can be corroded, but wood and bark may also be corroded.
　As he thinks so, Seto rubs his face against Ray, asking if he should go now.

"Well, maybe I won't be able to get in the gosh if it's too late. I also want to know about this palm crab. You want to eat Seto, too, if you can?"
"Gruly!"

　Of course! As Seto purges vigorously, Ray nods, approaches the palm crab, and puts it directly in the mistling.
　Ray was more shrimp‐oriented than crab‐oriented, but that doesn't mean he hates crabs.
　Even though the shell on the back of the palm crab was broken, the large one was stored in a mistling, and the only thing around was small pieces of meat and fragments that were troublesome to collect.
　When Ray decides that if left alone, the other monsters will handle it appropriately, he jumps away on Sett's back.
　And a few minutes after Ray and Sett disappear... ants emerge from the nearby sand.
　The ants are not monsters, but ordinary ants.
　It was ants the size of Ray's fingertips, even though they were large, but the problem was that number.
　A few, a dozen, dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of ants... that's how the ants that appear one after another swarm to pieces of palm crab meat... and even pieces of shell.
　Ants are brown, like desert species, and pieces of palm crab flesh and shell are quickly covered with ants, making it difficult to distinguish them from the surrounding deserts because of their body color.
　When the ant disappeared... there was not even a fragment of the shell of a palm crab shell.
　If Ray had watched this scene, he would have chills down his spine.
　Ants are not ordinary monsters, they're just insects, but in this Ferris Desert they could be described as vicious predators.
　You can't underestimate ants after all.





"Well... Huh? Huh? It's about time we arrived... Where is it?"
"Grull?"

　Ray muttered troublingly on Seto's back.
　Flying over an unmarked desert, Gorsuch is naturally nowhere to be seen.
　No, there should be a mark. Gorsuch is built around a huge oasis.
　But the point is, I can't find the oasis anywhere."... Oh, my God?"

　Even so, Ray's voice does not show the tragic beauty of being lost in the desert.
　It's only natural that there's a magic tent inside the mystery ring, a running dagger, and quite a bit of food.
　It was impossible to ask for seriousness in this situation.
　Still, if you think that there are people waiting for you in Gorsuch, you can't just get lost.
　Deserts are very harsh places, and it's normal that they don't come back on time.
　Similarly, it was no use thinking of losing one's life in the desert if we had exceeded the planned time by the unit of a few days.
　In other words, if you can't decide from days to days, you could end up with Ray also dead in the desert.
　It's only natural that we should be contacted from the guild of Gorsuch to the guild of Guilm, which will cause Marina anxiety.

"Elena can tell you that she is safe, for she has a pair of oaves, but she doesn't want to do it if she can."

　Wondering what to do, Ray flies in a set.
　I thought that there was a huge oasis in the heart of Gorsuch, and that I would not lose sight of it from above."

"I can't see it anywhere. and now what should we do?"
"Grull".

　Seto, who was listening to Ray's words, suddenly chants.
　Ray wondered if he had found Gorsuch, but what Sett was looking at was the ground.
　And on earth, they seem to be a group of four adventures of the Quartet.
　The four adventurers are running like mad.
　That's the expression for running at full speed.
　As long as it's a desert, it's normal to run slowly, but the quadruple is running at the same speed as running on the ground.

"Oh... very quick." And the one who is chasing me from behind... well, well, well, well, well,

　Ray is only a little surprised to see his attack on a quartet of adventurers.
　Because there was a lizard there.
　However, it's different from the Lizard Man that Ray has seen before.
　The lizard man, seen in a dungeon with an altar of succession, had green scales.
　By comparison, the lizard man in front of Ray's gaze has a brown skin color similar to that of the surrounding sand.
　And Ray knew nothing about the palm crab, but he knew about the lizard man on the ground now.
　a sand lizard a desert-adapted lizard Rank D monsters are no different from regular lizard men, but they specialize in deserts and are stronger than regular lizard men.
　They are also as intelligent as normal lizardmen, and it is not uncommon to attack them in cooperation with their peers.
　The Desert Lizardman I encountered in Egzil is similar and of a different race.

"...in that way,"

　At the sight of the adventurer, there were several sand lizard-men at the end of the road.
　The four adventurers who are desperately fleeing the sand lizard man behind them may not be aware of the sandy scales.
　The ambush Sandlizzards understand that they are very secretive, so it's only natural that they don't notice.
　Ray could have noticed it simply because he was up there.

"You can get the ingredients and meat of Sandlizzard Man, and you can also get the magic stones. Besides, you can even get directions to Gorsuch, so there is no alternative to not helping here."

　Ray is reluctant to eat Sand Serpent's meat, but for some reason Sand Lizardman is fine, and from an objective point of view, Ray has a taste that has to lean his head.
　But no one here points it out.
　Seto had some doubts, but he didn't push himself into them.

"Well, then, shall we go to your rescue at once?" ... Seto, you ask for a sand lizard in the ambush. for I will defeat those four men who are after them."
"Grull!"

　Seto gives a sharp cry of approval to Ray's words.
　Gently patting the back of Seto's neck, Ray jumps off his sitting back.
　Because of the height of 100 meters above the ground, it naturally falls down.
　But, like the palm crab, he slows down with slapnil shoes and lands in front of the four adventurers who are just fleeing.

"Oh!? Enemy!"

　A leading man in his twenties reflexively shouts at Ray when he sees him falling, but Ray takes a crimson spear... a twilight spear out of Mistilling regardless.
　The weapon Ray always uses is death-size, but if he was to deal with a human monster, it would be just right to use the spear of twilight.
　Adventurers are momentarily dazzled by the twilight spear that appears out of nowhere in Ray's hands.
　The spear in the twilight had enough power to catch my eye even in this near-limit situation.

"If you keep going straight, you'll find a sandlizard in ambush." My partner is cleaning it up, and I'll see you knock down the sand lizard man I'm after here."

　Passing by the adventurers, he said so, and before the adventurers could understand the words, Ray would attack the sand lizard with his twilight spear in his hand.
