Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Jiang Ran knew the time had come, so he stopped keeping the secret and directly revealed his real plan.

"Heloise, Pride, this is your temporary shelter."

Jiang Ran pointed forward. These unused glowing cubes were the "advanced trials" that allowed combat professionals to advance.

·

"Eh?"

"what?"

Heloise and Pride were completely bewildered. They looked around but couldn't find any place to take refuge. Could it be that Lord Fike wanted them to take refuge in the "Advanced Trial"?

As it turned out, this was exactly what Lord Fike meant.

Of course, Jiang Ran's decision was not a whim, but was made after careful consideration.

First of all, only Heloise and Pride have to enter the "Advanced Trial". Jiang Ran himself will not go in. The main reason for not going in is that Jiang Ran has not yet reached the third level, the maximum level of 90.

Secondly, Jiang Ran had already thought of a plan for the two of them to challenge the advanced trial. The probability of successfully passing it was much greater than the probability of surviving from Kenroshi Okami's hands.

Thirdly, the place Jiang Ran brought the two of them to was the area with the highest concentration of advanced trials near Dris Town. There were even two white trials of the simplest difficulty, which could meet any of their needs.

The last point is that both Heloise and Pride have been stuck at the second stage, maximum level 50, for a long time. It is time to break through themselves and move to a higher level.

·

Jiang Ran glanced at the time and it was getting a little tight.

In "Death Future", Jiang Ran and the others did not return to Dris Town, so they were found by Kenroshi Okami on "July 7".

And now (July 7), they have taken the initiative to come to the vicinity of Dris Town, which means that Kenroshi Okami is likely to encounter them today.

In order to avoid being caught off guard, Jiang Ran quickened his pace and told Heloise and Pride the most important considerations.

Jiang Ran told them that, first of all, they didn’t have to enter the “Advanced Trial”. They could wait until there were signs of danger around them before entering.

In other words, if Kenroshi Okami had not appeared, they would not have to challenge the advanced trial.

Secondly, after entering the "Advanced Trial", you must delay as much time as possible. On the premise of ensuring safety and being able to pass the trial, every minute you can stay is a minute longer. This way, the enemies waiting outside the trial may lose patience and retreat directly.

"The last point is, if you come out of the trial and find no enemies, then find a place to hide nearby. I will come back to find you. Do you understand?"

Heloise and Pride both nodded seriously. They agreed with Lord Fike's imaginative plan, but they also began to get nervous.

Jiang Ran knew the two's concerns about challenging the advanced trial, so he gave them a dose of confidence at this critical moment.

"Heloise, this dagger and this cloak are for you."

Jiang Ran stuffed the "Corrupted Dagger·Poison Dragon Claw" into Heloise's hands, then put the "Crimson Dragon Cloak" on her and explained to her the special features of the two pieces of equipment.

The poison stacking ability of the Corrupted Dagger can well make up for the deficiency of Heloise's output being only in one burst. As long as the enemy is poisoned, Heloise can continue to cause damage to the enemy even in the process of maneuvering.

In addition, the fact that the Corrupted Dagger does not consume any magic power is also in line with the shortcoming of Heloise's low total magic power.

As for the Crimson Dragon Cloak, this piece of equipment can provide Heloise with a certain resistance gain without affecting her speed. In addition, the wide cloak can also cover Heloise's body, thereby increasing her dodge rate.

"With these two pieces of equipment, you will definitely pass the trial successfully."

Jiang Ran touched Heloise's head. Her sparkling eyes were enough to show her love for these two pieces of equipment.

Then, Jiang Ran looked at Pride again, took off the "Meditation Ring" he had obtained in Sunny Town and the "Golden Bracelet·Goblin's Cunning" he got later in the "Maze·Green Ghost Lair" and gave them to him.

As a result, before Jiang Ran opened his mouth to explain, Heloise next to him got angry.

8.64 - The Hunt Has Arrived (rd Update)

"Master Feifeifeifeifeifei! Are you going to attack Prideball...ball...ballfen?!"

Jiang Ran didn't think anything of it at first, until Heloise asked him a soul-searching question.

It's a little strange to have both a ring and a bracelet, but there's no special relationship between Jiang Ran and Pride, so what's wrong with giving it as a gift?

"Lord Fike, I, Pride, can sacrifice my life for you, but when it comes to 'love', I... I'm afraid I can't do it..."

Unexpectedly, Pride was influenced by Heloise and started to think in the wrong way, which made Jiang Ran almost unable to find a way out for a while.

"What are you thinking? This is to help Pride pass the 'Advanced Trial'. Next I'm going to explain the equipment's effects, so remember it carefully!"

Jiang Ran had no choice but to pretend to be angry to regain his composure, and then used emotionless explanatory words to resolve the strange misunderstanding between the two.

Jiang Ran will give Pride the "Meditation Ring" mainly to help improve his basic attributes, while another piece of equipment, the "Golden Bracelet - Goblin's Cunning", will give Pride a certain degree of control ability (prohibiting the enemy from using active skills after causing damage), thereby helping him to survive and attack the enemy better on the battlefield where he fights alone.

"This equipment's skills are very easy to use. Even if you use it incorrectly, it won't have any adverse effects. It will definitely help you pass the trial."

Jiang Ran emphasized the word "definitely" because he had seen Pride's heart before and knew that he lacked confidence because he had neglected his training for a period of time.

Pride accepted Lord Fike's equipment with tears of gratitude, then knelt on one knee to express his gratitude to Lord Fike.

Jiang Ran helped him up, exchanged a few words with Heloise, and then asked the two of them to decide as soon as possible what level of difficulty of the advanced trial they wanted to challenge.

Three minutes later, Heloise stood next to the orange trial of the third level of difficulty, while Pride chose the yellow trial of the second level of difficulty.

Jiang Ran wished them both good luck, then left the advanced trial area with his motorcycle.

·

The excuse Jiang Ran gave to Heloise and Pride was that the fourth-level red trial he was going to challenge was quite far away from here, so he would not stand with them.

But the actual situation was that Jiang Ran left in order not to implicate them.

Jiang Ran judged that based on the fact that Kenroshi Okami only attached the "Wolf Soul Mark" to himself and Shirley, in the "Future of Death", Heloise, Pride and Little Motorcycle were actually all killed by Jiang Ran.

The enemy's target was actually only Jiang Ran; in his eyes, no one else posed a threat.

Therefore, Jiang Ran must stay as far away as possible.

However, Jiang Ran did not have much time left. At this moment, Kenroshi Okami might attack at any time, and the final retreat Jiang Ran arranged for himself was actually a place he had been to once.

That’s right, the shelter he was going to was the Maze Green Ghost Lair.

·

Soon, Jiang Ran arrived at the entrance of the green ghost's lair. This area that he was once familiar with now became a little unfamiliar.

Looking at the blood that had not yet been completely decomposed by microorganisms and a small amount of werewolf corpses on the ground, Jiang Ran realized that another battle had broken out here after he left.

Jiang Ran bent down to check the traces of battle, and felt vaguely familiar. Then he thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that this fighting style was exactly the same as that of the crazy old man "Bloodthirsty Snake Orlosk"?

——(Why is the blood-sucking snake fighting the werewolf here?)

Jiang Ran was very curious, but he had no time to look for clues.

At the urging of the little motorcycle, Jiang Ran took it into the "Maze·Green Ghost Lair" again.

Whether Kenroshi Okami chases him into the maze from another entrance or gives up the chase, Jiang Ran has already thought of a strategy to deal with it.

·

·

More than ten minutes later, the hooded man wearing a wolf mask, Kenroshi, arrived at the entrance of the "Maze - Green Ghost Lair".

Ken Ruoxi glanced back and forth at the two entrances not far from each other, and understood why the aura of "Feike's" "Wolf Soul Mark" would eventually disappear in this place.

——(He actually thought of hiding in a maze... But how did he know I was coming to hunt him?)

Kenroshi's mind was very sharp. He didn't think that Feke had the ability to discover in advance that he was being pursued, and then be lucky enough to hide in a maze space that "happened" to be nearby.

Kenroshi's judgment is that this guy Fike might not only have the ability to foresee the future three to five seconds later, but also be able to see further into the future.

——(I really envy your skills...Fike.)

——(Did you use a skill similar to divination to know that I would come to kill you?)

——(Escaping into the maze is indeed a good idea. I appreciate your wisdom.)

Kenroshi admired his enemies in his heart, because the stronger the enemy was, the more sense of accomplishment he would feel after defeating him.

He was able to grow all the way to where he is today thanks to countless powerful enemies who served as stepping stones and experience packs for him.

Now, Kenroshi looked at another maze entrance that was still lit and fell into thought.

——(Interesting, are you betting that I dare not enter the maze with you?)

In Kenroshi's memory, there were two or three people following Fike.

If the other party intends to use the "Green Ghost Lair" as a refuge, then they can simply split their people into two groups and use both maze entrances. In this way, even if Ken Rushi finds this place, he will not be able to enter the maze.

However, Fike and his companions did not do so.

——(Was it a mistake... or was it a deliberate trap to trick me into making a wrong judgment?)

Out of fear of Fei Ke, Ken Ruxi hesitated.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from the tree behind Kenrushi. The approach of the strange breath made Kenrushi react subconsciously. A silver holy light fell from the sky like a javelin and pierced straight into the breath.

Then, a green snake that had been pierced fell from the tree.

——(This guy is…)

Just as Kenrushi was about to think about it, another grass snake crawled out from the bushes nearby, and as if it was afraid of being killed by Kenrushi "again", it spoke a little anxiously.

"Hiss... Long time no see, Mr. Kenroshi. I wonder if you are satisfied with the 'service' we provided this time?"

"So it's Lord Earth Ghost... I'm sorry, I just attacked unconsciously and caused you to lose a 'Puppet Snake'."

Ken Ruoxi was indeed a little surprised. The appearance of the Snake Shadow Society's earth ghost here was not in his plan.

——(Is this guy here to collect a debt?...Will Snake Shadow think I'm a person without credit?)

"I am very satisfied with your 'service'. The agreed compensation is already being prepared and will be delivered to you as previously agreed."

Ken Ruoxi's tone gradually became cold, and he was expressing his dissatisfaction with the sudden visit of the earth ghost in this way.

But what Ken Ruoxi didn't know was that the appearance of the Earth Ghost here had nothing to do with their previous "cooperation", and he was not here to collect debts.

The underground ghost came all the way to the entrance of the "Maze Green Ghost Lair" just to monitor "Banning".

As for why the Earth Ghost appeared at this time and called out to Kenruxi, it was because he smelled a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

A conversation full of intrigue to the extreme is about to unfold here.

[img=675,1200]https://rss.sfacg.com/web/novel/images/UploadPic/2023/02/16d8729e-f69d-40f5-8e57-d55743694357.jpg[/img]

8.65 - Intrigue

This was not the first time that Kenroshi Okami and the Earth Ghost met.

As early as a year ago, Ken Ruoxi found the contact person of the Snake Shadow Society and then got in touch with the Earth Ghost.

Ken Ruoxi's purpose in finding the Earth Ghost was to use the powerful intelligence network of the Snake Shadow Society to obtain information about the weaknesses of "Ice Star Shirley".

The Earth Ghost said that it was no problem and then quoted a price.

As long as Kenruxi can pay, the Snake Shadow Society will provide him with the corresponding "services".

So, after some bargaining, Kenroshi and the Earth Ghost reached a cooperation agreement, each getting what they needed. After that, the Snake Shadow Society spent more than half a year to master the secrets of Ice Star Shirley:

"It turns out that Shirley's parents are not dead. Instead, they changed their names to Kane and Jenny and are living a secluded life."

Ken Ruoxi was very satisfied with the information provided by the Snake Shadow Society. He paid the money as agreed and also signed a new cooperation agreement.

Ken Rushi's second request was to have the Snake Shadow Society kidnap Kane and Jenny and transport them to the werewolf royal territory of the Farnese Empire. According to reports from his subordinates, Ken Rushi knew that the two hostages had now entered the border of the Farnese Empire, but the final payment would not be made to the Snake Shadow Society until he had personally "inspected" the goods.

It was for this reason that Ken Ruoxi was dissatisfied with the Earth Ghost who came here to disturb him at this moment. He believed that the Earth Ghost was looking down on the credibility of their werewolf royal family.

However, the Earth Ghost was considering something completely different. He had far more information than Ken Ruoxi knew.

During these few days, the Earth Ghost first "watched" Banning successfully escape from the "Maze - Green Ghost Lair", causing all the huge investments made by him and the Sky Ghost to go down the drain;

Later, he discovered that Banning was involved in the affairs of the werewolf clan and the Ice Star Shirley, and was almost killed by Kenroshi Okami.

Now, it is obvious that Kenroshi is here to hunt down Banning. If the subsequent developments are as the Digui and others wish, they can use Kenroshi Okami's "good knife" for free to kill Banning!

In order not to affect Kenrushi Okami's actions, Digui initially just observed from a distance and had no intention of showing up, but when he noticed that Kenrushi Okami was hesitating, he immediately decided to come out and help the second son of the Wolf King chief make up his mind.

No matter how dangerous the situation is right now with the monsters inside the "Maze Green Devil's Lair";

Regardless of the fact that the "Maze Green Ghost Lair" will collapse and explode in four days due to the "Liberation Stone";

What the Earth Ghost wants to see now is that Kenroshi Okami chases into the maze and kills Banning!
