Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 1589 Finding The Desert Elf Village And An Incoming Monster Army!

In an hour or two the sun would finally go down and the night would come, and at the same time, I was finally able to talk with Luminous! The twins were making a camp for the meantime behind a big rock, so I had some free time, the two were like children that could never stop speaking, so I felt relieved I had some time for myself now.

"Kireina! I never thought I would be so happy to hear your voice." Luminous sighed. "But I suppose I m happy about it. How are you? Wait! Where are you? Is the princess okay?"

"Welp…" I sighed. "To tell you the truth, I was alone when I woke up. Not Sol, nor the elves at my side. If Elfina was awake she could summon me to her side, but she seems to be sleeping or something, I have tried contacting her beforehand but got nothing either."

"What? It has already been almost a day since the sandstorm ate us up… How can this girl sleep so much?" Sighed Luminous. "Well, Elves have slow metabolisms when they sleep, and she also has a lot of magic power, I've taught her some healing magic and offensive light magic, and she got her magic rapier, she should be alright even against B Rank monsters… Though, if she's sleeping, she might be buried in sand or something…"

"You really just went from having expectations to none…" I sighed. "Currently I want to find her and the rest as well, but I can't really guide myself in this desert, I'm moving to a place named Stoneville, a small village. I found a pair of Desert Elves Adventurer Twins who'll guide me there. Try to find villages and ask for Elfina and the rest, and for Stoneville, and come to meet me."

"Got it… If we ate together we can find the rest better." Sighed Luminous. "What about the elven maid or Sol?"

"I have yet to contact Sol, and about the maid? She's also asleep somewhere." I said.

"Damn it… these elves sleep a lot sometimes!" Sighed Luminous. "For the moment, let's met at Stoneville. And check if Sol is awake as well!"

"I will, see you there then." I said.

"Very well."

After cutting my call with Luminous, the camp or more like the moving camp or carriage was ready. The twins were amazing at crafting stuff apparently, so when I gave them a lot of wood, some hammers, nails, and something to cut wood, hey began working diligently without stopping even below the strong light of the sun. And then, I summoned two Fire Salamanders, fast, resilient, and resistant to fire and sunlight out, they'll be the ones pushing our carriage. With the help of Silva's enhancement to her summons, they must be as strong as B- Rank monsters despite being way weaker supossedly.

"And done!" Said Ariant. "This is our gift of gratitude for the food you've given us, and the water as well, it is so fresh and delicious! Your Summons are really handy!"

"Wow, this is amazing guys! Thanks a lot! You're way too talented at this, did you ever do this before?" I wondered.

"Yeah, we thank you for your help. You also had tons of wood! It is rather expensive and rare around here, as we often build everything out of stone and mud." Said Eriant. "Carriages are extra expensive due to this reason. But we have experience crafting and fixing carriages as a living when we were teenagers."

"We had hard lives…" Sighed Ariant. "We were always near poverty, and grandma couldn't really do much for us so we had to work ourselves to death for money, hahaha!"

"Yeah, good ol' times." Laughed Eriant.

"Y-Yeah… I guess we all had our hard times." I said. "I also struggled myself. Did I told you I came from another world? I am trying to get to the Demon King's castle so I can teleport back home."

"Oh, that's it?" Wondered Ariant. "You're so strong that I guess even defeating the Demon King might be a thing… We are pretty disconnected with the outside world so we don't really know if that's a big thing or not that much…"

"I think its big, right? There's a whole war going on." Said Eriant.

"Yeah… The Demon King is a handful, he had been sending his goons at us for a long time now. Since I was summoned in fact. He really got a big beef against me for some reason." I sighed. "Well, for now, let's go, Silva, bring the Fire Salamanders, pretty please."

"Okay mama~!" Silva quickly summoned two Fire Salamanders outside her dungeon body, as we quickly wrapped belts around them and let them carry the carriages

"Wow, these are Fire Salamanders, I can't believe you've managed to tame such monsters, they spawn in dungeons and can control fire!" Said Ariant. "And their meat is very tasty too…"

"Yeah, we got accustomed to eating monster meat so we got our favorites… Fire Salamander meat is soft and delicious. Especially when fried in oil." Said Eriant.

The two Fire Salamanders looked at me with eyes filled with despair for some reason, as they seemed to be sweating constantly nervously, even though lizards can't sweat.

"Calm down you guys, you're not getting eaten…" I sighed.

Lizards are usually not nocturnal due to the cold of the night, but fire salamanders always have their body temperature warm due to their element, they can easily travel at day or night.

"Please don't say stuff like that in front of them!" I reprimanded the two child-like Desert Elves, as they apologized.

After that, they quickly began inspecting the skies, the clear sky of the night in the Ankh Desert was really something beautiful… the stars shone brightly everywhere.

"Hm, there's the star…"

"Yeah, through there. Kireina, go to the northwest!"

"Got it! Let's go you two!"

I ordered the Fire Salamanders as they quickly began running across the sands, we slowly began to approach our destination. After two hours of wandering at a fast speed, we finally saw the village from afar, it was protected by a large wall made out of stone and muds.

"Wow, the village's there! We did it! We are back home!" Said Ariant.

"Yeah- Eh? What's that?!" Eriant asked.

Suddenly, we realized there were dozens if not hundreds of Walking Cactuses invading the village, as soldiers were desperately fighting against them to not crawl over the walls!
