Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

"Okay, just send it here, I'll be back soon!"

Jiang Ran hadn't originally thought that this trip to the "Green Ghost Lair" would be very dangerous, but with everyone sending him off like this, he forcibly created a tragic atmosphere of "the hero will never return once he leaves."

(Then let me go and see what the Scarlet Qi family is up to...!)

·

Before joining up with the maze expedition team, Jiang Ran first went to the stable to find the small motorcycle.

It has been eight or nine days since Jiang Ran last saw Xiao Moto.

After meeting each other after a "separation" of eight or nine days, Jiang Ran almost didn't recognize Xiao Moto - compared with Jiang Ran's last impression, Xiao Moto's appearance had changed a lot!

Today's small motorcycle is even stronger than a regular warhorse. It stands over two meters and two meters tall and weighs about three to four hundred kilograms. Its dark muscles shine with a faint metallic luster, and several healed scars on it silently tell of the hardships it has experienced.

In addition, its four hooves are also quite eye-catching. The metal hooves shining with silver light are like war hammers, hammering the ground with every step.

Jiang Ran used his identification ability to confirm the information of the small motorcycle and found that not only had its appearance grown, but its basic information had also been greatly improved!

━━━━━━━━━━

While Jiang Ran was busy with his own training, the little motorcycle did not lose to his master. It evolved from the original first-level "Iron Hoof Warhorse" to the second-level "Steel Hoof Warhorse". All its attributes have been greatly improved, and it has also learned a new skill!

"You're just like me, Little Motorcycle! You always surprise me!"

Jiang Ran happily stroked the back of the little motorcycle. The little motorcycle hummed twice in a very dull voice, as if to say that this little progress was not worth mentioning.

Afterwards, Jiang Ran mounted some of his equipment and props on the warhorse soft armor of the small motorcycle, and then set off on the small motorcycle.

·

When Jiang Ran arrived at the meeting place, Ice Star Shirley and Branch Chief Pame were already waiting there with two teams of death row prisoners.

Jiang Ran had heard about the death row prisoners from Shirley yesterday. He had no opinion on the Feiqi family's actions, but he clearly understood that anyone entering the "Green Ghost Lair" would die.

There wasn't much greeting between the three of them after they met. After briefly confirming the precautions, they headed towards the entrance of the "Green Ghost Lair" together.

Along the way, with Ice Star Shirley leading the team, none of the death row prisoners dared to act recklessly. After arriving at the entrance of the maze, they all obeyed orders and walked in one after another.

In Jiang Ran's opinion, the entrance to the "Green Ghost Lair" does have similarities with the "Trial Gate". They are both rectangular luminous objects that look like portals.

The difference is also very obvious. The words "Maze·Green Ghost Lair" are displayed in both "Human" and "Demon" in the middle of the portal at the entrance of the maze. The colors are also different from the white, yellow, orange, red and purple of the trial, and the whole body emits a gloomy green light.

The two entrances to the "Green Ghost Lair" were less than fifty meters apart. Under the supervision of Ice Star Shirley, the two teams of death row prisoners entered the corresponding entrances respectively.

Then, after a five-minute countdown, the two entrances turned gray one after another, which meant that the entrances would remain closed until all the people who entered through the corresponding entrances died or left the maze.

"Fike, if the matter in the maze is already over by the time you enter, I will regard your behavior as a breach of contract."

"Don't worry, Lady Shirley, I should be able to get in soon."

7.16 - First Visit to the Green Ghost Lair (Second Update)

After learning about the death row inmate yesterday, Jiang Ran discussed it with Shirley and changed the original plan of action.

Since the Feiqi family had made it clear to Shirley that the two teams from Dris Town were going into the maze to die, Jiang Ran felt that there was no need for him to follow the death row prisoners into the maze.

According to the rules of the maze, as long as the team corresponding to the entrance has completely withdrawn from the maze or all died, the entrance will be reopened. Jiang Ran believes that this is the best time to enter the maze again.

Shirley agreed with Jiang Ran's point of view and agreed to change the action plan, but now that she has actually done so, she is still somewhat worried.

·

Jiang Ran, Shirley, and Branch Chief Pame waited quietly at the entrance of the maze.

These two gray maze entrances made the atmosphere on the scene very depressing, and as time passed, this depressing feeling began to become more and more heavy.

Ten minutes passed, Jiang Ran remained calm, while Shirley's expression became visibly tense.

In the blink of an eye, another ten minutes passed. Shirley had paced back and forth hundreds of times, but Jiang Ran was still as relaxed as usual.

Jiang Ran could see that Shirley was enduring the torment of every second feeling like an eternity. If Jiang Ran entered the maze too late, she would not be able to know what the Feiqi family had done in the maze.

However, Jiang Ran was confident in his judgment, one of the reasons being that his future death date was July 7, which was still one day away.

This means that the interior of the "Green Ghost Lair" is quite large. Even if the Feiqi family wants to kill the two teams from Dris Town as soon as they enter the maze, it will take a certain amount of time to do so.

Half an hour passed with great difficulty, and Jiang Ran was still calm, but Shirley seemed to be about to lose control and attack Jiang Ran.

At this moment, the entrance to the maze, which was farther away from Jiang Ran and the others, suddenly lit up and emitted the eerie green light again!

"Hurry! Open, open! Fike! Go in quickly!"

Ice Star Shirley was so excited that she was incoherent, and Branch Chief Pame was speechless with her eyes wide open. Seeing this, Jiang Ran did not hesitate and immediately jumped on his horse and rushed into the entrance of the maze on his scooter!

·

The feeling of entering the entrance of the maze was very similar to that of entering the gate of trial. After briefly losing consciousness, when Jiang Ran opened his eyes again, he was already standing at the foot of an unknown mountain on a small motorcycle.

Jiang Ran looked around and noticed that the entire area was indeed very vast, but with the mountains in front of him as the center, there was a circle of translucent barrier-like things surrounding Jiang Ran behind him, limiting his range of movement. It was equivalent to telling Jiang Ran: The area of ​​the maze is this big, don't think about moving anywhere else.

Then, the entrance to the maze emitting green light was right behind Jiang Ran. If he wanted to escape from the maze, he just had to enter this rectangular luminous body again.

Those death row prisoners who were unaware of the truth were told that if they escaped from the maze, they would be executed immediately, but if they could successfully conquer the maze, they would be spared the death penalty and released without charge.

Therefore, no death row prisoner chose to escape, and they all headed towards the mountains in the center of the maze.

Jiang Ran first observed the footprints on the ground for a while, confirmed the direction of the five death row prisoners, then dismounted and followed the footprints with Xiao Mo.

(The group was killed almost half an hour after entering the maze...)

(Was he killed by a monster... or was it the work of the Scarlet Qi family?)

Not long after tracking, Jiang Ran saw a red beam of light shining vertically down from the clouds in the sky.

This beam of light continued to shine, illuminating the very center of the mountains, as if to remind everyone that the core of the maze was there. If one wanted to conquer the maze, one had to destroy the core.

Combining the scenes he had seen in the future death scene before, Jiang Ran could roughly understand what the pattern of this "Green Ghost Lair" was.

The maze scene is a mountain forest, and the "starting positions" of the three teams should be three safe places at the foot of the mountains outside.

On the mountain in the center of the maze, there is a heavily guarded stronghold. The center of the stronghold is where the red light beam shines, and there is the core of the maze.

(Based on this situation, if the members of the Feiqi family wanted to attack the death row prisoners first, they should have circled around the foot of the mountain first...)

(Did Viviana also participate in such an action? She doesn't seem like the type to do such a thing...)

Jiang Ran was still a little nervous at the thought of becoming an enemy with Viviana.

He didn't know whether the gap between him and Viviana had narrowed compared to the time in Shadou Canyon, and how much it had narrowed.

However, with the help of his special ability "Fearlessness", Jiang Ran was not bothered by such worries.

Not knowing what fear was, he only trusted his rational judgment and continued to move forward steadily in search of clues.

·

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Ran discovered the bodies of three death row prisoners one after another. In addition, there were also many bodies of goblins of different kinds scattered nearby.

It was obvious that a battle had broken out here not long ago.

Judging from their wounds, the death row prisoners were all killed by goblins. These goblins made full use of the terrain of their home turf and ambushed humans with traps and sneak attacks.

After being ambushed, the death row prisoners fought desperately to the death, but at the end of the battle, two of the five men seemed to have lost their will and abandoned their companions and fled.

(The battle was so fierce...)

Jiang Ran checked the bodies of the goblins one by one. If this team of death row prisoners had not fought with the goblins here first, he would have to face this group of goblins alone.

(Goblin Scout, Level 19...)

(Goblin Rogue, level 26...)

(Goblin Archer, level 18...)

(Goblin Archer, level 37...)

(Goblin Berserker, level 48...)

After identifying the goblins' information, Jiang Ran began to have a certain idea of ​​the strength of the monsters in this maze.

During the pursuit, if Jiang Ran did not have the skills as a hunter, he might have fallen into a few goblin traps.

Looking at the death row prisoners, Jiang Ran had confirmed when he met them before that all the death row prisoners were between level 35 and 50. It was basically impossible to win in the goblin population's home turf.

Jiang Ran now roughly understood the Feiqi family's plan. They must have sent someone with considerable strength into the "Green Ghost Lair", such as Viviana, so the monsters were so powerful, so powerful that the death row prisoners had no chance of survival.

Even if a death row prisoner managed to hide and survive, he would probably be found and killed by the Feiqi family.

The Feiqi family's intention was very clear. They wanted to completely wipe out the two teams in Dris Town. As for why they wanted to do this, Jiang Ran guessed that this might trigger some special mechanism of the "Green Ghost Lair", allowing them to achieve some ulterior motive.

7.17 - Distress in the Woods

Jiang Ran dug out the magic cores from the surrounding goblins, bagged the first-level ones and took them back to sell, and fed the second-level ones to the Black Sword Flame Dragon Horse, which increased his experience points by 20 points in total. (0+20↑ / 100)

Then, he randomly chose one of the two escaped death row prisoners and started tracking him again with his motorcycle.

As Jiang Ran gradually went deeper into the forest, the traces of monsters began to increase.

In addition to the traps set by goblins, there are occasionally monsters that mimic and ambush passersby, such as "Rock Scorpions", "Tree Demons", etc.

With the help of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye, Jiang Ran detected the monsters' attack intentions in advance and easily avoided and killed them. However, if it were an ordinary maze attacker, he would probably have suffered a lot.

More than ten minutes later, Jiang Ran finally caught up with the escaped death row prisoner. Of course, he was now a corpse.

This time, Jiang Ran made an important discovery near the corpse. He noticed that in addition to the footprints of the death row prisoner, there were also footprints of another human.

(Sybil's footprints...)

The identification results of the footprints gave Jiang Ran important clues.

Jiang Ran remembered the names of the ten death row prisoners this time, and the name "Sybil" was not among them. In other words, this Sybil must be one of the people sent by the Feiqi family.

Jiang Ran then examined the body of the death row prisoner. In addition to some scars from the previous battle with the goblins, there was also a fatal wound on his back, as if his heart had been pierced from behind by a penetrating weapon such as a spear.

Combined with the footprints just found, it is obvious that this injury was caused by Sybil.

(Okay, I feel like I'm getting closer to the truth.)

Jiang Ran changed his tracking target and began to track the whereabouts of this "Sybil".

As they walked, the little motorcycle following Jiang Ran suddenly bit his arm gently and hummed softly. Within a few seconds, several red light prompts suddenly appeared from all directions, pointing to different parts of Jiang Ran's body!

(Ambushed!)

Based on the thickness of the red light, Jiang Ran immediately determined that the enemy was using weapons such as bows and crossbows. In this surrounded situation, the safest approach was to break out first!

"Little Motorcycle! Let's rush out!"

While leaping onto the small motorcycle, Jiang Ran swung a sword in the direction where the red light was most densely populated. The neighing blue flame horse galloped in the air, not only swallowing the arrows that were shot at him, but also continuing to burn into the woods!

Jiang Ran paid attention to the text prompts in his field of vision, but did not receive any information about killing monsters. This showed that just one shot of "Blooming Blue Flame Horse" was not enough to kill these guys who ambushed him.

(Something's wrong. A first-level goblin archer wouldn't be able to withstand the damage from Blooming Blue Flame Horse... Could it be that the monsters surrounding me are all second-level or higher?)

While Jiang Ran was thinking, arrows shot from other directions had already hit him. Jiang Ran activated the skill "Computing Power Boost·Overclocking" and entered bullet time, waving the ironwood round shield he had just acquired in Dris Town to block the arrows.

Then, he pulled out the "Fir Dragon Bow" from the soft armor of Xiaomoto's warhorse, aimed at the goblins chasing him from the shadows, used the skill "Focus and Concentration" to assist in aiming, and fired several "Powerful Arrows" in succession, each arrow hitting the head, and he eliminated five enemies in one go.

(Goblin Rogue, level 43? 45? 47??)

Jiang Ran was a little surprised when he saw the enemy's identification information. Among the goblins who ambushed the death row prisoners, the stealth was only level 26. Why did it become nearly level 50 when it came to him?

(I shouldn't have gone too deep into the forest... Is it just bad luck?)

After withstanding the enemy's first wave of attack, Jiang Ran pulled the reins to turn the motorcycle around and charged towards the goblins who ambushed him!

Although it was Jiang Ran's first time to fight against goblins, based on his understanding of goblins from various anime and film and television works, he knew that these cunning and insidious guys could only be truly solved by eradicating them completely.
