According to Jiang Ran's calculations, even if Vanessa had already set out from Cuilin City with reinforcements, it would still take about three or four days for him to meet Vanessa.

During these three or four days, he can also raise the level of "Shadow Behind" and "Shadow Stealing" to a higher level.

Although he didn't encounter any decent monsters along the way, Jiang Ran's growth would not stop.

Like Jiang Ran, Wei'er (Aier) is also growing rapidly, having become Mi Shasha's apprentice and assisted by the divination rabbit spirit.

Under Mishasha's supervision and training, Wei'er just passed the orange advanced trial yesterday, and then switched to Ai'er and passed the orange trial again.

Although Wei'er cannot help Ai'er advance after passing the trial (and vice versa), the two of them can switch between each other during the advancement trial, which in turn reduces the difficulty of the trial.

In addition, they can each obtain an advanced attribute reward, so they will not suffer any loss at all.

To sum it up, whoever enters the trial gate will be the one who gets the reward, and the other personality is a helper who can bypass the rules and be brought into the trial space.

After the successful advancement, Wei'er's combat profession advanced from the first-level "Priest Apprentice" to the second-level "Priest", and Ai'er's combat profession advanced from the second-level "Murderous Demon" to the third-level "Humanoid Killer".

After waiting for the "two" to adapt to their new combat skills for a day, Mishasha brought Wei'er to the edge of a vast lake, and then extended a thick and long octopus tentacle from behind her, slowly reaching into the depths of the lake.

"Hey, let me catch a big one this time so you can practice on it~"

Misasa's face was full of malicious smile, and then, after catching something at the bottom of the lake, she did not forget to add a sentence.

"Don't die, Wei'er, Ai'er."

8.153 - Battle of the Lake

━━━━━━━━━━

October 187, 8

12:23 AM

[Confession death countdown remaining: 26 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

After a morning of flying, Vanessa and Weipu Bilisha landed not far from a lake.

The two of them each ate some of the dry food they brought with them, and then walked towards the lake together to replenish some fresh water.

As they walked, Vanessa gradually heard some unusual noises ahead, and a look of alert appeared on Weipu Bili's face.

"Vanessa, there seems to be someone fighting up ahead. You stay here, I'll go check it out first."

Whipple Lizard is very responsible, and Vanessa is not stubborn.

Now that Lu Ling is no longer by her side, she really has no fighting ability.

However, Vanessa was not satisfied with just waiting there. She followed Wei Pu Bi Xi from a distance, hoping to get first-hand information.

Soon, Vanessa saw one of the sources of the unusual noise. It was a monster with a crocodile head, a snake-man body, and several snake-like tentacles on its back.

As far as Vanessa knew, this should be a third-level monster called "Crocodile Snake Guard", which has the ability to live both underwater and on land, but generally does not appear or fight on land because it can only exert its full strength underwater.

Judging from the thick crimson scales on this creature, it should have grown to the maximum level of stage three. If it were to advance to stage four and evolve into the "Crimson Crocodile Snake Guard", it would be a very tricky existence.

The one fighting with the crocodile snake guard was a petite girl. When Vanessa saw her cute appearance, she thought of a small pet dog. However, the girl's fighting style was not "cute" at all. The huge pair of scissors in her hand made Vanessa feel cold on her back for some reason.

·

"That blood-red almond-shaped pupil embedded in the scissor handle... could it be the eye of a demonic creature?"

Vanessa muttered to herself as she looked at the girl's weapon.

Generally speaking, no one is willing to use materials from demonic monsters to make equipment, because the evil aura of demonic monsters often drives the user crazy... and the fighting posture of this girl who is fighting now already has a somewhat crazy feeling.

The girl was seen waving scissors with an evil smile on her face, dodging the snake-like tentacles that kept attacking her while fighting back.

Her body was stained with a lot of monster's blood, and the snake-like tentacles she had cut off were scattered everywhere.

The crocodile snake guard was a little anxious after being beaten, and rushed towards the girl with his trident raised. His intention was probably to compress the girl's dodging space so that his snake-like tentacles could hit her.

As a result, the girl faced the enemy without any fear. The huge pair of scissors in her hands easily separated into two narrow knives. She slashed left and right to cut off the snake-like tentacles that were about to surround her. Then, when she was about to be stabbed by the trident of the crocodile snake guard, she rolled on the spot and went behind the opponent in a very thrilling way. Then she cut two deep wounds on the back of the crocodile snake guard!

·

"Pretty!"

Wei Pu Bi Xi couldn't help but cheer for the girl's wonderful battle. He wanted to help, but couldn't find the opportunity to intervene.

According to his personal judgment, this scissor girl should be of level three strength, the same level as the crocodile snake guard. However, generally speaking, to defeat a level three monster, at least four level three combat professionals, or two level four combat professionals are needed to deal with it.

In a situation like the current one, it is undoubtedly a gamble with one's life, which is no different from challenging the White Trial.

At this moment, although the scissor girl injured the crocodile snake guard, the monster had thick skin and flesh and was completely unmoved. Instead, the scissor girl's physical strength seemed to be running out.

Looking at the scissor girl walking on the edge of death like a tightrope, Weipu Bili's heartbeat began to beat faster and faster uncontrollably... It had nothing to do with him, but he could empathize with the danger of dying at any time.

Just when he was so nervous that he could hardly breathe, a red light suddenly lit up on the girl's scissors, and then with a clean and neat cut, she actually cut the trident of the crocodile snake guard into two pieces!

The girl, confident of victory, rushed to the front of the crocodile snake guard without hesitation. The pair of narrow knives separated by the giant scissors were ready to stab the opponent's chest. However, the snake-like tentacles of the crocodile snake guard quietly circled behind the girl and were about to tie up the girl's ankles!

At this critical moment, Wei Pu Bi Lizard leaped out, waving his usual weapon, the Sea Snake Bone Whip, trying to intercept the crocodile snake guard's snake-like tentacles before it succeeded.

But the next second, something happened that made Wei Pu Bi Xi dumbfounded.

This girl, whose fighting style was extremely evil, actually let go of her weapon, clasped her hands together and placed them in front of her forehead. Her expression no longer had the madness from before, but was instead sacred and pure, like a nun in prayer.

Then, a holy light descended from the sky, forming a holy barrier around the girl. It not only repelled the crocodile snake guard and its snake-like tentacles, but also blocked the jumping Wei Pu Bi Lizard outside!

·

·

——(Is this... a priest's skill?)

Vanessa was dumbfounded. How could there be a priest in the world who fights with scissors?

The church is so rich, it wouldn't let the nuns be without scepters and have to fight with scissors, right?

Before Vanessa could figure out what was wrong with this girl, an evil expression appeared on her face again. She rushed towards the crocodile snake guard who had just fallen to the ground, holding a narrow knife in both hands, aiming directly at the other's head!

If it was a battle of the first or second level, it would have ended here. However, the crocodile snake guard was a third-level monster after all. It immediately controlled its snake-like tentacles to spray out poisonous mist, forcing the scissor girl to stop abruptly and not dare to rush in.

Then, in just a few seconds of pause, the situation on the battle suddenly changed.

After the crocodile snake guard let out a low cry, three more crocodile snake guards floated up from the lake nearby.

Not only did they surround the Scissor Girl, but they also made it difficult for Wei Pu Bi Lizard to evacuate, turning the situation around in an instant.

——(Oh no! We can’t let Master Wei Pu die here!)

Vanessa suddenly became nervous. With Wei Pu Bi Xi's strength at the early fourth stage, it was impossible for him to defeat these four crocodile snake guards. The best way to deal with it now was to run away quickly.

But just when Vanessa was about to call out to Whipple Green Lizard, this guy actually stepped forward like a hero and fought side by side with the Scissor Girl!

——(Oh my God… Master Wei Pu, if you want to help the weak and suppress the strong, you should first consider your own weight…!)

Looking at Wei Pu Bi Lizard who was already fighting with four crocodile snake guards, Vanessa almost fainted from anger.

But now that she has no ability to fight, there is nothing she can do except watch.

A few minutes later, the battle situation took a turn for the worse, just as Vanessa had feared. Weipu Green Lizard, without the ability to penetrate armor, and the exhausted Scissor Girl were cornered by the crocodile snake guards...

In desperation, Vanessa had to risk rushing out to distract the enemy.

But at this critical moment, a familiar roar came into Vanessa's ears, followed by a dark figure breaking into the battle!

8.154 - Thunder Horse (Second Update)

In the blink of an eye, the galloping lightning wrapped around the galloping horse's hooves, and the iron hooves that stepped on the earth at high speed even created flying sparks on the ground!

Then, a dark figure flashing with lightning suddenly rushed into the encirclement of the crocodile snake guards, and one of the crocodile snake guards who was blocking the way was even knocked into the air!

At this moment, neither the Scissor Girl nor Weipu Bilizard had reacted to what had happened. Only Vanessa, who was standing in the distance, saw the situation clearly, but she had no time to react.

What Vanessa saw was a pitch-black warhorse with purple electric light constantly bursting out of its body. From head to toe, this warhorse was "equipped" with lightweight metal hollow armor, and there was also a metal ram extending forward on its forehead, making its charging attack more powerful.

In the past few seconds, the black warhorse first used its horns to hit the crocodile snake guard on the back, and then used the momentum of the charge to swing its head and knock the opponent away.

After breaking into the encirclement of the crocodile snake guards, before the three crocodile snake guards could make any move, the black warhorse's horns simultaneously emitted forked lightning towards the three crocodile snake guards, knocking them all to the ground in one blow!

·

After the crocodile snake guards fell to the ground, the black warhorse began to neigh.

Most people might mistakenly think that it was showing off its might, but Wei Pu Bi Lizard and Scissor Girl, who had certain combat experience, heard the special meaning in the hissing.

This pitch-black warhorse is telling them to seize the opportunity to evacuate!

At this critical moment, although the two were surprised at the intelligence of the black warhorse, they still did as they were told and ran out of the encirclement of the crocodile snake guards as soon as possible.

After only three to five seconds, the crocodile snake guards regrouped and focused all their hatred on the pitch-black warhorse. However, all this seemed to be within the pitch-black warhorse's expectations, because at this time, its body was already filled with electricity, just waiting to give these crocodile snake guards the final blow...!

In an instant, there was a roar of thunder and lightning. The dazzling purple lightning was so bright that Vanessa and the others could not open their eyes!

When the light dimmed, what came into everyone's eyes were the corpses of four crocodile snake guards that had been charred by electricity... As for the black warhorse that saved Wei Pu Bi Lizard and the Scissor Girl, it disappeared without a trace.

·

·

——(Strong…too strong…!)

Vanessa couldn't help but admire in her heart. Although this pitch-black warhorse was undoubtedly a monster, it not only had no ill intentions, but also saved Master Wei Pu and the others.

Moreover, for some reason, Vanessa always felt as if she had seen this jet-black warhorse somewhere before, and had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Wei Pu Bi Xi next to him also came to his senses at this time, but his first reaction was to look for the scissor girl.

However, at some point, the scissor girl had left, which made Wei Pu Bi Xi feel a little lost.

"Ah, Vanessa, why are you following us?"

It was a little late that Weipu Biliru realized that Vanessa was also there, and he couldn't help feeling embarrassed for his failure to save people and being rescued by the monster instead.

"I was worried, so I followed you to check on you. Luckily, you're safe... So, was there a civil war between the monsters just now? I only saw a black horse use electricity to attack the crocodile snake guard, and then it disappeared."

Vanessa answered Weipu Bili's question in a light-hearted way. Being well versed in all kinds of social routines, she cleverly avoided Weipu Bili's embarrassment, thus preventing the atmosphere between the two from being too awkward.

After all, Vanessa still needs to find an excuse to separate from Weipu Bili, otherwise it will be difficult to find Lord Fike and the others.

·

"Huh? Ah, ah, yes, yes." After hearing Vanessa's answer, Weipu Bili was stunned for a moment, then realized that Vanessa only saw the last scene, and immediately felt very fortunate.

To cover up his awkwardness, Weipu Bilishi added, "Monsters sometimes fight each other to compete for territory, food, and so on."

After listening to Wei Pu Bi Xi's explanation, Vanessa nodded with a look of trust, which finally put Wei Pu Bi Xi's heart at ease.

·

After relaxing, Wei Pu Bi Xi thought about the battle just now.

Although the four crocodile snake guards had been damaged quite a bit by him and the scissor girl, the dark horse's strength should not be underestimated as it was able to kill four half-blood or low-blood crocodile snake guards in one go.

——(Even taking into account the bonus damage of lightning-attribute attacks against aquatic creatures, this power is still outrageous... Could it be that the black horse is a fourth-level monster?)

Thinking of this possibility, Wei Pu Bi Xi suddenly felt a chill on his back. If the black horse just now was not helping them but was hostile to them, he would probably be a cold corpse now.

Many people would never have such an adventure in their entire lives, but Wei Pu Bi Xi had one, and not only that, he even met a girl who made his heart beat faster.

Yes, that's right. After what happened just now, Weipu Bilishi has been deeply attracted to the scissor girl. The contrast between her gentle and lovely appearance and crazy fighting style hits Weipu Bilishi's peculiar preference exactly.

After meeting the scissor girl, Weipu Bili finally realized what was missing between him and Vanessa. What they lacked was this heart-pounding feeling and dramatic encounter!

However, Vanessa is now basically considered to be Weipu Bili's fiancée, which forces him to make a choice between his own feelings and moral ethics.

What's even more cruel is that Weipu Bili has no time left.
