Chapter 81: Otherworld Camping Adventure!

Happy Dog Car continued on towards Port of Vancouver from Hillenbrand Town, and the journey was quite far. At the current speed of the dog car, it would take almost two days to reach the destination.

However, the surroundings were becoming more and more desolate. Everyone got a taste of the most common sights in Vera Plain – plains covered in wild grass, slow-flowing rivers, occasional low hills, sparse patches of coniferous forests, and wandering monsters, with very few signs of human presence.

Even though they were already in the Qinma Principality territory, Vera Plain was still considered quite remote from the western side of the continent.

It served more as a buffer zone, an interface between elves, dwarfs, and the Republic of Seychelles.

However, the monsters had no intention of attacking Lolth and her companions.

The overwhelming presence of the powerful Dadaka Superlative Level monsters served as a strong deterrent against the weaker ones.

As Old Harper, who knew the central area of Qinma Principality well, looked out of the window at the passing scenery, he rubbed his chin.

"At this speed, I’m afraid we won’t make it to the nearest town and village before nightfall…"

The old-fashioned adventurer still felt a bit worried about it.

Now, a few people had already had two meals on the car, it was already the leisurely afternoon after noon.

No gathering place for humans means no walls, guards, and patrols.

In his adventurous experience and common sense, it was still very dangerous.

Most monsters are far more adapted to the night environment compared to humans and other intelligent races on the continent. Being in the wilderness, the monsters will have a natural home advantage in battles.

"Ah, it’s okay, I brought a super large tent and enough sleeping bags," Lolth heard Old Harper say this and thought he was worried about camping in the wild, "Just find a flat place to camp at night."

"No, Lord Lolth, I am worried about the monsters…"

Old Harper expressed his concerns.

Lolth glanced at the team’s personnel configuration, a sealed legendary level Grand Knight, an ex-epic warrior, and the cart was pulled by a Superlative Level magical beast…

Even though I’m not good at direct combat, I still have some fighting ability, so this team is not weak.

Plus, my camping equipment has all been blessed!

"Are there a large number of epic-level monsters or groups of legendary-level monsters on Vera Plain?" Lolth asked cautiously, "If so, we need to be careful."

When Old Harper heard the adjectives "large number" and "groups," it was hard for him to immediately connect these with the levels of "epic" and "legendary."

Although there are rumors of some powerful monsters appearing on Vera Plain…

But the lord’s idea is a bit beyond expectations!

Is this the Abyssal Demon?

Old Harper opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

"That’s alright."

And so, the group continued their journey before dark, and as the sun set, they found a relatively flat and sheltered spot on the leeward slope of a small hill to set up camp for the night.

Dadaka stopped walking, removed the reins hanging around his neck with his dog-like paws, parked the cart not far from the hill, and joined a few others.

Lolth took out a lightweight and huge tent from her backpack, skillfully hammered in tent pegs, laid out a moisture-proof mat, assembled the frame, and quickly set up a tent big enough for everyone.

Compared to the common yurts used by nomads in this world or the pointed cloth tents or leather tents used by Orcs, Lolth’s tent appeared very unique to the group.

When folded, it was only a bit over a meter long, but when set up, it was incredibly huge.

Despite being lightweight and feeling smooth to the touch, it unexpectedly turned out to be sturdy and warm.

Even the sleeping bags had this peculiar material.

Moreover, Lolth also brought out a grill and a magic-powered stove, lit a fire, and took out pre-prepared ingredients from her backpack.

Dehydrated vegetables, air-dried cured meat, compressed instant noodle cakes, canned meat, and rice porridge.

Even though there were leftovers in the bento box, camping just feels right with instant food.

"What a great tent! If we had tents and equipment like this during our adventures back then, the captain wouldn’t have been stuck on the snowy mountain…"

Old Harper showed a thoughtful and nostalgic look.

"Oh, Uncle Harper, did anything happen to your captain before?"

As Lolth started heating canned food and cooking instant noodles by boiling water separately, she asked.

"Not really, he just got chilly legs and developed health issues from spending a night with a leaky tent and kicking the blankets. He had to retire early and become a guard instead."

Old Harper explained.

"…That’s such a shame."

Earlier, Lolth thought Old Harper’s tone implied that the captain had starved or froze to death.

Ann and Kanor didn’t seem surprised by these strange things anymore. Kano, who dreams of becoming a chef, became interested in Lolth’s cooking equipment and canned goods once again.

But Isabella was incredibly shocked by the existence of this set of things.

As the leader of a knight order, she knew very well what this equipment meant for a legion!

Portable, reliable, sturdy temporary camps, almost no restrictions, reusable heating equipment, along with high-calorie, easy-to-store, convenient food for cooking.

If such equipment had been given to the Northman Knight Order back then, she and her father might have easily made it all the way to the capital of the Republic of Seychelles!

Is this an Abyssal Demon…?

No, after spending time together and her experience at the Demon King Castle, Isabella had some idea.

That this succubus is much more special compared to other demon races.

This must be her doing again…

"Ingredients with magic potion effects, enchanted building tools, powerful Space Magic Array… Now these are enough to greatly enhance the marching efficiency and expedition capability of any army legion…"

Isabella watched as the cooked instant noodles were scooped out, rinsed in cold water, then topped with a fried egg and sprinkled with cheese crumbs, feeling a bit confused.

What exactly is the background of this succubus?

Setting aside her hatred and fear towards her, momentarily forgetting her regret and unwillingness, Isabella examined this succubus with the most objective perspective…

Isabella found that although she had once thought of informing the Holy Alliance about this succubus, she actually couldn’t see through her at all.

How many secrets does she still hide?

"Isabella, could you help me open a can?"

As she pondered, the voice of that succubus rang out once again.

"Yes, Master Lolth."

Isabella took the heavy, slightly hot metal can. Even though she had never seen it before, she quickly understood how to "open" it.

She pulled the ring tab open, and the smell of meat entered her nostrils.

"Cursed succubus, I must find out your true identity… Your skills, one day, I will definitely make them my own!"

Thinking this, Isabella swallowed the saliva in her mouth.
