The situation is difficult, but life must go on.

In the darkness of night, Jiang Ran and his friends found a sheltered place, lit a bonfire and began to prepare dinner.

Everyone was chatting about some unimportant things, but all they were thinking about was the threat posed by the werewolf royal family to Shirley and what Shirley would do.

However, until the time for bedtime came, Shirley did not tell anyone the truth and continued to pretend nothing had happened, as if they were really safe.

Out of respect for Shirley, everyone could only cooperate and pretend not to notice, but after lying down, no one could fall asleep.

Even though there would be no werewolves attacking tonight, they were experiencing more pain than any previous dangerous night.

Jiang Ran was in charge of the first night watch tonight. He deliberately sat in the shadows, paying attention to Shirley's movements while continuing his unfinished thoughts.

The number of werewolves brought by Kenroshi Okami was indeed quite large, more than a hundred people, but Jiang Ran discovered through his identification ability at the time that most of them were not even at the second level. It was only because a few of the fourth-level elites led the team well that they looked well-trained.

Facing such a team, Jiang Ran felt that the probability of winning was more than 50%, so there was room for a try. If he really couldn't win, he could still escape. But if Kenroshi Okami was also taken into consideration, then not to mention the probability of winning, even the possibility of successfully escaping would become infinitely close to zero.

Therefore, whether or not Kenroshi Okami can be defeated will be the key to determining the next course of action.

In order to increase the possibility of winning even a little bit, Jiang Ran has done his best.

For example, when he was confronting Kenroshi Okami, he stepped on the opponent's shadow as if nothing had happened, and then obtained the skill that the guy had used last.

8.56 - The End of the Road

Before explaining what skills Jiang Ran acquired from Kenroshi Okami, we need to first introduce in detail his new third-level skill: "Shadow Stealing".

[img=700,1002]https://rss.sfacg.com/web/novel/images/UploadPic/2023/02/3857bde6-57d8-4514-9d92-d9c525c4ddc2.jpg[/img]

[Note: Here is a picture explaining the skill of "Shadow Stealing", readers who are listening to the book please pay attention.]

First of all, the conditions for activating "Shadow Stealing Technique" are that Jiang Ran directly or indirectly touches the target's shadow, and the target must be a living being, which means a living creature.

During the afternoon battle, Jiang Ran found opportunities to touch the shadows of Wamudo and Kenroshi Okami respectively. It can be said that this usage condition is easy to achieve as long as it is not noticed by the enemy.

Secondly, after Jiang Ran obtains the target's skills, he can immediately know whether it is the "target's own skill" or the "equipment's skill", and then he can also view the detailed information of this skill.

Putting aside the ability to use stolen skills, just being able to view skill information is already very powerful, because it makes up for the shortcoming of the identification ability that currently cannot see the enemy's skill information.

As long as Jiang Ran can control the 60-second cooldown of "Shadow Stealing" and mobilize the opponent's emotions through words, he is fully capable of seeing all the enemy's skills.

The last thing to explain is the storage time of the stolen skills. The storage time is 60 seconds, which is exactly the same as the cooling time of "Shadow Stealing". This means that under normal circumstances, Jiang Ran can only save one stolen skill.

However, if necessary, Jiang Ran also has a special way to break this restriction.

So, back to the point, when Jiang Ran was able to use the "Shadow Stealing Technique" again, the "Bite of the Ancestral Wolf" that he had previously stolen from Wamudo had disappeared. Then, the skill he stole from Kenroshi Okami was called "Silver Projection".

Although "Silver Projection" has now disappeared, Jiang Ran has memorized the information about this skill thanks to his excellent memory.

"Silver Projection" is an equipment skill that consumes 300 mana points and has a cooldown of 30 seconds. The specific effect is that after five seconds of charging, the user can be teleported to the location of "Silver Spear Silva's Energy Body", and after the transmission is completed, the energy body will disappear.

Recalling the scene when Kenroshi Okami suddenly appeared, Jiang Ran immediately understood what this skill meant. It must be said that "Silver Projection" is indeed a very powerful displacement skill, especially in long-distance movement, it is more useful than "Shadow Step".

In addition to the effects of the skill itself, Jiang Ran also used the skill "Silver Projection" to further understand the relevant information about Kenroshi Okami.

There is no doubt that the "Silver Divine Spear Silva" must be one of Kenroshi Okami's equipment, and it is most likely the main weapon.

The two silver spears that were launched from a distance of a hundred meters at that time should be the so-called "Silver Divine Spear Silva's energy body", generated by the Silver Divine Spear's other skills.

After understanding this, Jiang Ran looked back at Kenroshi Okami's combat profession, "Silver Spearman", and suddenly he had an epiphany.

Previously, after Jiang Ran identified Kenroshi Okami's combat profession, he always felt that he seemed different from other werewolves. Now it seems that this guy is most likely bound to the weapon "Silver Divine Spear Silva". Maybe there are some stories and secrets behind this weapon.

This is basically the end of the information Jiang Ran could infer.

Regarding the "Wolf Soul Mark", because he was completely unaware when he was hit, Jiang Ran couldn't tell for the time being whether it was Kenroshi Okami who used this trick, or his several elite fourth-level werewolf warriors who marked him in secret.

However, there is one conclusion that Jiang Ran can draw now, that is, the "Silver Divine Spear Silva" is an extremely important weapon of Kenroshi Okami, and this means that if there is a way to take this weapon away from Kenroshi Okami, then this guy's strength will be sharply reduced.

Of course, there has to be a way to do it.

Up to now, Jiang Ran was nearly killed by the Silver Divine Spear twice, but he has never even seen the true form of this weapon. This is enough to show how well Kenroshi Okami protects this weapon.

After some thought, Jiang Ran finally came to a helpless conclusion:

"Even at my best, I'm still no match for Kenroshi Okami."

·

It is written in Sun Tzu's Art of War: The Art of War, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger."

Jiang Ran currently knew nothing about Kenroshi Okami's six skills, nor did he know if he had any other powerful equipment besides the "Silver Divine Spear Silva". He even had no idea how many skills the Silver Divine Spear had.

So, don’t even mention that Jiang Ran is now at level three against level six, and is being crushed in all aspects of his numerical values. Even if he and his enemy are both at level six, he is not sure of winning.

After all, Jiang Ran is not the type of cockroach that can’t be killed, and he can’t risk his life to take on all the enemy’s skills one by one.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, as long as Shirley decides to surrender to Kenroshi Okami, Jiang Ran and the others will be helpless.

(But...even if Shirley isn't threatened by them, will Kenroshi Okami let us go so easily?)

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran suddenly understood Shirley's feelings.

The current situation left no room for choice. Kenroshi Okami had never intended to let Shirley choose from the beginning.

On the surface, it seems that the only ones who can threaten Shirley are her parents, but in fact, even if Kenroshi Okami directly said that he did not catch "Kane" and "Jenny", could Shirley and Jiang Ran leave so openly?

No, absolutely not.

Not only could Jiang Ran and his team not win in a head-on fight, but now two core members of the team were both in the abnormal state of "Wolf Soul Mark", and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

In this situation, the only way out for Jiang Ran and the others is for Shirley to surrender, and then gamble on whether Kenroshi Okami will give the others a chance to live.

Jiang Ran now understood why he didn't see Shirley in the future death scene, because at that time, Shirley had already surrendered to Kenroshi Okami.

But even if Shirley surrendered, Kenroshi Okami did not let Jiang Ran and the others go, and killed them all without leaving a single one alive.

The second son of the Wolf King is truly both capable and intelligent, and extremely terrifying.

Under the night sky, Jiang Ran sat on the ground with his back against a big tree, looking up at the stars in the night sky.

There are so many stars twinkling in the sky, but not one of them can give him any advice.

Jiang Ran looked at his companions who were lying down to rest. Although everyone was worried about Shirley, they could not resist the physical and mental exhaustion in the end and fell asleep one by one.

The only two people who were still awake in the camp were Jiang Ran who was on night watch, and Shirley who was pretending to be asleep.

She had been pretending to be asleep and waiting for the opportunity, and now, she thought the time had come, so she quietly got up and tiptoed out of the camp.

8.57 - Farewell Night (Second Update)

Seeing that Shirley was about to leave at night, Jiang Ran knew that she had made her decision.

However, there was no way Jiang Ran could pretend not to see it and just watch her leave without saying a word.

So Jiang Ran walked out of the camp quietly and quickly followed behind Shirley.

"Master Bingjixing, have you thought it through?"

Jiang Ran's voice made Shirley stop. Judging from her calm reaction, she must have expected that "Feike" would chase her out.

"Feike... I thought someone as smart as you wouldn't chase after me and cause trouble for myself."

Shirley didn't turn around, but said this with her back to Jiang Ran.

(You're asking for trouble... This sentence is really well said...)

Jiang Ran quite agreed with Shirley's statement, because there was really nothing he could do if he caught up with her... The truly "smart" thing to do would be to say goodbye silently, so that both parties could continue on the path they had chosen without burden.

However, at this time, Jiang Ran would rather be a little stupid.

As the old saying goes, if you don't suffer small losses, how can you enjoy great blessings?

"How could you be asking for trouble? Lord Bingjixing, don't forget that you still owe me a favour."

Jiang Ran didn't want Shirley to do anything, nor did he intend to persuade her not to surrender. He just didn't want Shirley to meet Kenroshi Okami with the mentality of preparing to die.

"Yeah, too."

At this time, Shirley finally turned around and looked at Jiang Ran. Jiang Ran saw that her expression was resolute, and she was determined to fight to the death with Kenroshi Okami.

"If you have anything you want me to do, tell me now. You may not be able to see me again later."

"But I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm just reminding you not to forget this favor... Lord Bingjixing, please don't die so easily."

Jiang Ran finally said this, and when Shirley heard it, she showed a bitter smile for a moment, and then returned to her original resolute expression.

"If you want to look down on me, you're not qualified, Fike. Don't worry, I'm not going to die."

Although Shirley said this, it really wasn't convincing.

Jiang Ran took out the potion that Kenrushi Okami had thrown to him in the afternoon and handed it to Shirley.

"So, do you want to drink this potion? I know a little bit about pharmacy, and it looks like it should be real."

However, contrary to Jiang Ran's expectations, Shirley actually refused.

"No need, I'll leave the potion to you."

Shirley refused bluntly, which meant that she really understood the current situation.

It was this act of "refusing the medicine" that made Jiang Ran believe that Shirley had not given up hope of living.

He looked into Shirley's heart and knew that no matter how much he said next, it would be useless, so he stopped forcing her.

The battle with the werewolves has not ended yet.

Shirley's surrender to Kenroshi Okami does not mean that the battle is over.

In fact, on the contrary, the battle between Shirley and Kenroshi Okami, and the battle between Jiang Ran and the werewolves are about to enter the real main battlefield.

Even though Kenroshi Okami has almost taken control of everything, as long as Jiang Ran and the others are still alive, there is still hope for a comeback!

"You have to work hard, Shirley."

Jiang Ran took back the potion, and then called Ice Star Shirley by her name for the first time.

After hearing this, Shirley's shoulders trembled slightly, and then she glared at Jiang Ran with a look that seemed neither angry nor angry.

"Who gave you permission to scream like that? If you do that again, I'll freeze you and throw you in the cellar as ice!"

"Then I'll wait for the day when you freeze me, Shirley."

Jiang Ran knowingly called Shirley's name again. This time, Shirley was about to get angry, but when she raised her hand in the air, she put it down again, and finally let out a silent sigh.

"Go ahead and do what you want, but don't let me get the chance to punish you next time, Fike."

After saying this, Shirley turned around and left without looking back.

Jiang Ran did not chase after her this time. He just watched her go away silently until the beautiful figure disappeared into the night and merged into the starry sky.

·

Shirley is gone, it's inevitable.

Jiang Ran, who had seen her heart, knew better than anyone that parents were irreplaceable to Shirley.

Therefore, even if she knew it was a trap, she had to go through it. Moreover, with Kenroshi Okami's ability, it was really possible to capture Shirley's parents.

For Jiang Ran, his next goal is neither to "rescue" Shirley nor to defeat Kenroshi Okami, but to find a way to keep himself and his companions alive.

It was just past midnight. According to the information in the "Future Death Screen", Jiang Ran and his men would be wiped out at 9:12 tomorrow morning. This meant they still had 33 hours to fight for their chance of survival.

So, do we need to wake everyone up and start running immediately?

Jiang Ran did not do so. His idea was just the opposite. Not only did he not wake everyone up, but he also lay down and fell asleep, and did not even wake up the next shift of people on guard.

Jiang Ran's consideration was that if he wanted to survive from Kenrushi Okami's hands, with the speed at which Jiang Ran and his team moved, running for five or six more hours would not make much difference. Instead, a good night's rest to achieve a good physical and mental state would be more conducive to thinking of a solution to the dilemma.

After today's battle, not only was Jiang Ran in a bad state, but Heloise, Captain Pride and the others were also exhausted. If they continued in this state for another night, they would collapse before the enemy arrived.

Therefore, after making the decision, Jiang Ran carried it out resolutely.

Even in this current situation where his mind is full of thoughts, he can clear his mind and fall asleep quickly.
