Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

But this time Jiang Ran did not dodge according to the three-second countdown, because the Earth Snake Assassin's attack this time was not a "single shot" but a "continuous shot".

Seven consecutive red light warnings were all pointed at Jiang Ran's chest, and they were all counting down to the final three seconds at intervals of 0.14 seconds. Moreover, these red light warnings were all moving with Jiang Ran's movements at the moment.

Even if Jiang Ran could find the right moment to dodge the first attack, as long as his evasion speed was not as fast as the Earth Snake Assassin's speed in adjusting the trajectory, the subsequent pursuit would definitely hit his body.

Fortunately, this time when Jiang Ran faces the "Earth Snake Assassin Sloshasin", he does not have only the option of a life-and-death battle. In addition to fighting to the death with the opponent, Jiang Ran has a second option.

(Double Shadow Escape Step)

Since Shadow Step was still on cooldown, Jiang Ran lavishly consumed 1000 points of magic power to use the second skill of Shadow Dragon Boots, and teleported more than ten meters towards the exit of the maze.

In this rocky wasteland, there are shadows everywhere for Jiang Ran to use as a foothold.

At this point, Jiang Ran was only five meters away from the exit of the maze!

But what Jiang Ran didn't expect was that just after he teleported, the red light warning came after him again in less than a second, and among them were the two remaining shots from the "seven consecutive shots" just now!

(How does it know where I want to teleport?!)

Jiang Ran had no time to be surprised, as the Earth Snake Assassin's attack would arrive in 1.5 seconds. At this critical moment between life and death, Jiang Ran was forced to hand over his last trump card!

(Hashrate boost and overclocking!)

(The shadow behind!)

(Used Skill: Goblin's Special Deal, Target Skill: My Shadow Behind Me!)

(Use "Shadow Behind" again!)

In less than a second, Jiang Ran rushed towards the exit of the maze, throwing smoke bombs under his feet and letting the two shadow clones spread to his left and right sides.

However, Jiang Ran didn't actually expect that splitting up and using smoke bombs would be effective, because he vaguely guessed that the enemy might be able to determine his position and true identity based on his breath or magic power.

Jiang Ran’s real purpose is to make an unexpected displacement for the enemy!

As the first line of venom shot towards him, Jiang Ran turned around and ran in a zigzag pattern to avoid the attack. However, at this moment, the enemy's second line of venom had already shot towards him, less than two meters away from Jiang Ran, and he had no time to change direction and accelerate.

At this moment, the shadow clone flew up and kicked Jiang Ran in the back, causing him to stagger forward two steps and avoid the second attack. Then, another shadow clone appeared in front of Jiang Ran at the right time, grabbed his hand and threw him over the shoulder, throwing Jiang Ran into the glowing cube at the exit of the maze!

·

(I...am not dead?)

After a brief period of darkness, Jiang Ran regained consciousness.

He glanced around and saw the scenery outside the town of Driss. This was the entrance to the maze, the Green Ghost's Lair.

Then, a familiar neighing sound was heard beside him. It turned out that Xiao Moto was kneeling beside him and rubbing his head against Jiang Ran's arm.

"I'm sorry, little motorcycle, I made you worry."

Jiang Ran touched the little motorcycle's head and knew that his quick thinking had been successful.

After recovering from his shock, he checked his body. He was not hit by the Earth Snake Assassin's attack, but there were several holes on his Scarlet Dragon Cloak, which showed that he was only a hair's breadth away from death.

『Earth Snake Assassin · Sloshashin』 (level 160) seems to be only 20 levels higher than 『Frost Wolf · Frozan』, but the oppressive feeling it gives Jiang Ran is completely different.

In addition to the difference between level five and level four, assassin-type enemies are obviously more efficient and skilled in killing, which is something that the Frost Wolf, who is good at controlling the situation, cannot do.

When Jiang Ran thought that the Earth Snake Assassin was most likely just a summon of the blood-sucking snake Orlosk, he felt a chill down his spine.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran glanced at another maze entrance not far away. That entrance was indeed still inaccessible. This meant that the blood-sucking snake entered through that entrance... and if he could successfully escape, he would also come out through this entrance.

Jiang Ran subconsciously glanced at the creatures around him. There was a suspicious tit staring at him intently, and there seemed to be a snake hiding in the grass.

However, Jiang Ran pretended not to notice their presence, jumped on his horse, and set off towards the direction of Dris Town. He had to contact Ice Star Shirley and Branch Chief Pame as soon as possible!

Coincidentally, at this moment, the sound of numerous horse hooves could be heard from not far away. Jiang Ran took out his binoculars and looked over. He saw that it was Shirley, along with Branch Chief Pam, Heloise, Vanessa, and Captain Pride. The strange thing was, they didn't look like they were coming to greet Jiang Ran. Instead, they looked like... they were being hunted by some enemy?!

8.01 - Makeover

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 7

〖16:39 pm〗

[Confession death countdown remaining: 16 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

Between the territories of the Hell Abyss Empire and the Human Alliance, there is a no-man's land about 800 kilometers wide and 3,000 kilometers deep.

Under the burden of years of war, both humans and demons were unwilling to spend resources on this land that could be seized and occupied at any time. Later, some lawless people or refugees gradually found a place to survive here.

After eight or nine days of traveling alone, the Lord of Eternal Winter officially set foot on this chaotic land this afternoon. Looking at the drifting yellow earth and the barren land, he remembered that a long time ago, when he was traveling from the territory of the Human Alliance to the Hell Abyss Empire, he had also crossed this land alone.

——(Have I gotten closer to my goal over the years?)

The Lord of Eternal Winter raised his hand and glanced at the word "Jiang" engraved on the palm of his hand. This word "Jiang" had become a scar, now full of traces of time.

Even so, the Lord of Eternal Winter did not forget his original intention. No matter what, he had to complete his "mission" and then return to Earth to save his father.

At this time, a patrol of demon cavalry passed by. After seeing the hideous ghost mask on the face of the Lord of Eternal Winter from afar, they immediately dismounted, lined up, and saluted the Lord of Eternal Winter respectfully.

The Lord of Eternal Winter simply returned the greeting and then continued walking forward silently.

Such things are very common in the Hell Abyss Empire, and the Lord of Eternal Winter has become accustomed to it. After all, his influence in the Hell Abyss Empire is so exaggerated, second only to His Majesty the Sovereign Demon God.

In order not to attract attention, after entering the No Man's Land, the Lord of Eternal Winter no longer used his flying ability, but instead got a horse and rode forward.

In addition, he also put away the ghost mask that he called "Stone Mask".

It's a bit funny to say, not many people know the true face of the Lord of Eternal Winter, so when he doesn't wear a mask, he can actually hide his identity better.

After putting away the mask, the Lord of Eternal Winter became "himself" again. As he rode forward, he thought about what pseudonym he should use this time.

If his identity as the Demon Race's top military advisor were to be exposed, he would definitely be hunted down by the Human Alliance.

·

The Lord of Eternal Winter walked like this until his mount suddenly stopped.

Some strange dust was floating around, and then, as the ground shook, six insect-snake monsters covered with barbs appeared one after another near the Lord of Eternal Winter.

These "giant sandworms" are even larger than trains. The smallest one is at least twenty meters long. They all stare at the Lord of Eternal Winter with eager eyes.

"Children, this is a rare human around here! Today is a good opportunity for you to practice your skills. If you encounter one in the Human Alliance's territory in the future, you will know how to deal with it." (Insect Language)

Listening to the words of the leading insect-shaped monster, the Lord of Eternal Winter immediately became interested.

"You are the Sand Devouring Madmen, right? Do you live here as a family?"

"Would you consider joining the Hell Abyss Empire's monster army?"

"The benefits are excellent. Not only do I get paid on time every month, but I also get an extra six months' bonus for every year I work. And if my unit wins a battle, I'll also..."

The Lord of Eternal Winter kept talking in insect language, which stunned the six Sand-Eating Mad Scorpions. This was the first time they had seen a human who could speak their insect language!

"Dad, this human can speak our language, so should we kill and eat him?"

The smaller sand-eating maggots asked for advice from the leading sand-eating maggot father. The sand-eating maggot father felt a little disgusted when he saw the human who kept talking to himself, so he signaled his children to kill and eat the human directly.

The little sand-eating scorpions did not hesitate. They had long wanted to taste humans, and immediately used their skill "Corrosive Liquid Spray" towards the humans. However, what they did not expect was that the corrosive liquid froze in mid-air, and then the extremely cold frost spread along the corrosive liquid to their bodies, freezing them all.

When the Sand-Eating Mad Snake saw this, he immediately turned around and tried to escape. He knew that he was definitely in big trouble this time.

But unfortunately, by the time it realized this, it was too late.

Now, not to mention its body, even its eyeballs can't move.

·

"Poor, too poor."

The Lord of Eternal Winter scratched his hair and reflected on the occupational disease he had just developed without realizing it.

He reminded himself that he was no longer the Lord of Eternal Winter, the military advisor of the Hell Abyss Empire, and that he had to change his way of thinking.

——(Character setting, I need a new character setting...)

The Lord of Eternal Winter deliberately dismounted and walked. When he was thinking seriously about something, he had to walk back and forth to fully utilize his brain power. This was his habit.

After careful consideration, the Lord of Eternal Winter finally came up with an idea.

He wants to take advantage of the fact that he can do whatever he wants in this different world and be the role he wants to be.

"It's decided. From this moment on, I am Master Dio Brando!"

At the same time, in the Kingdom of West, on the outskirts of the town of Dris in the territory of Lord Green Lizard, our classmate Jiang Ran was trying to figure out the situation.

Jiang Ran remembered that he entered the maze this morning, and only six or seven hours had passed. What on earth had happened in Dris Town in such a short time?

(Could it be that the Bloodthirsty Snake brought other accomplices with him?)

This was the first possibility that Jiang Ran thought of. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why even the level 127 Ice Star Shirley was running away.

If that's the case, he has to run along quickly!

"Little motorcycle!"

Jiang Ran immediately jumped on his horse, and then began to shout and wave at Shirley and the others. When they approached, Jiang Ran immediately threw the last three smoke bombs behind them, and then continued to evacuate with them.

"Master Bingjixing! What's going on?"

Jiang Ran asked immediately, but Shirley remained silent, and her face was pale and she looked very painful, as if she had used up all her strength just to maintain the riding posture.

But Jiang Ran looked at her status information and found that she was very healthy, with abundant vitality, endurance and magic power. Could it be that she was in some abnormal state?

Jiang Ran tried to use mind reading on Shirley, but all he saw were confused and painful thoughts, with nothing readable.

At this moment, Chief Pame rode up to Jiang Ran on horseback and told him the situation loudly.

"Lord Fike! Have you just come out of the maze?"

"While you were in the maze, we were attacked by the werewolf royal family!"

"Lady Bingjixing is poisoned! She can't fight!"

(Poisoned?)

(Werewolf royal family?)

Jiang Ran was completely clueless. This was the first time he had heard the concept of "werewolf royal family".

Just when Jiang Ran was confused, he accidentally discovered that Vanessa in the team had an abnormal expression, as if she had done something wrong and felt guilty.

I wrote a 10,000+ word outline today (so it’s too late for the second update?)

The new chapter is super exciting, so stay tuned!

Also, it’s the end of the month, if you have any tickets that are about to expire, remember to vote for Ya Ya????

8.02 - The whole story

——(It’s all my fault… I didn’t take the werewolf clan seriously enough…)

In the fleeing group, Vanessa, a black-haired, blue-eyed girl wearing a deerskin hat, was in deep remorse.

Vanessa didn't know when it started, but in her subconscious, she had already regarded the werewolves as experience packages for her cultivation.
