[Confession death countdown remaining: 28 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

On the green grass and in the blue sky, the eagle soars.

The cry of the goshawk is as loud and ethereal as ever, but the werewolf royal territory under the blue sky has lost its former vitality.

The werewolf scouts searched day and night and finally found the body of Kenroshi Okami, the son of the Wolf King.

In accordance with the ancient burial ritual of the werewolf clan, the body of Kenrushi Okami was cleaned and dressed up, and then personally sent to the highest peak in the northwest of the Farnas Empire, Mount Gonzagaar, by his father, the current Wolf King Chief Noreson. Then, the "messengers of the sky" took Kenrushi Okami's soul back to heaven.

At the funeral ceremony, among all of Kenroshi Okami's blood relatives, only one person was absent, and that person was Adela Okami.

After Kenroshi's body was found, Adela went to say goodbye to him that night and then set out on her journey alone.

If it was the old Adela, she would definitely not do such a dangerous thing. She was more accustomed to causing trouble everywhere under the protection of Kenroshi. However, now, Kenroshi who protected her is gone. Although her father will definitely arrange for someone else to protect Adela, Adela believes that no one can replace the position of her idiot second brother.

——(Just watch me in heaven, you idiot second brother.)

——(I am no longer the Adela who needed protection.)

With this awareness, Adela set out alone towards the Kingdom of West. Before she knew it, she had been walking in the desert for a day and a night.

It was lonely traveling alone, but Adela had been immersed in sadness and confusion recently, so she was not affected at all.

Now Adela only wants to become stronger, surpass Fike, and then defeat Fike. Everything else is tolerable.

Under the scorching midday sun, Adela finally felt tired. She found a shady place to rest, wanting to take a nap before continuing on her way.

At this moment, Adela's wolf ears twitched, and the rumbling earth alerted her.

——(Is something huge rolling towards us...?)

Sensing the danger, Adela instinctively hid herself, and then two or three minutes later, she finally saw the source of the noise.

9.33 - Adela's Change (Part )

——(Is that... a giant rock snail?)

Adela was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that the cause of the earth shaking was a high-speed rolling third-level monster, the Giant Rock Iron Snail, which was still very far away from her.

When encountered in the wild, the Giant Iron Snail can be said to be a harmless monster to humans and animals, and you just need to avoid it. However, if you find a Giant Iron Snail rolling towards the town in the city, it is a major event that requires the immediate organization of defensive forces.

Adela breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to rest. She was not in the path of the giant iron snail, so she could continue to drink water and eat some dry food to replenish her energy.

As she rested, a prickling sense of guilt surged into Adela's heart. At first, she didn't understand why she suddenly felt so uncomfortable. Later, after thinking about it, she realized that it was because she had avoided the upcoming battle.

——(If I continue to avoid battles as much as possible like before, how can I become stronger? How can I defeat Fike?)

Adela questioned herself, and then made a decisive decision - she wanted to capture this moving giant rock snail to prove that she had become stronger!

·

Having made up her mind, Adela immediately took action.

She made a preliminary visual estimate and found that the giant iron snail was about four to five hundred meters away from her and would approach her in about twenty seconds.

What she had to do was to unleash her maximum firepower after the giant rock snail entered her shooting range to see if she could stop it!

Adela mustered up great courage. She faced the giant iron snail in the distance and stood right in its path. In the following duel, if she was not careful, her small body would be knocked into the sky by the half-ton giant iron snail.

As the giant iron snail got closer and closer, Adela began to count down silently in her heart. When the time came, she released a "Blood Septic Flying Blade" in advance, controlling it to float in the path that the giant iron snail must pass, waiting for the other party to hit her.

Then, Adela set up the new weapon she and Fike had obtained in the "Tower", the "Blood Curse Crossbow", and aimed at the enemy in front of her, waiting for the enemy to enter the range.

Seeing the giant iron snail getting bigger and bigger in her sight, Adela's heartbeat became faster and faster. She asked herself, facing this giant iron snail that requires at least the fifth level to stop, can she really do it with only the third level strength?

Her answer to herself was that even if she couldn’t do it, she would still give it a try!

A few seconds later, the giant iron snail collided head-on with the septic flying blade that Adela had set up in advance, and then continued to rush forward without any surprise, as if it had not been hurt.

This result was completely within Adela's expectations. After all, the Septic Blade could only cause damage equal to 1.5 times her magic attack power. Minus the Rock Iron Giant Snail's terrifyingly high resistance, it was basically like scratching an itch through a shoe.

The real purpose of Adela placing a blood-septic flying blade there was to help herself judge the distance. She had to start attacking the moment the giant iron snail entered the range, so that she could cause the greatest damage to the opponent!

In the blink of an eye, Adela fired the first arrow with the Blood Curse Crossbow at the same time as the Septic Blood Blade caused damage, followed by the second and third arrows. After her hard training, and the Blood Curse Crossbow's design that can quickly reload arrows, Adela can now shoot an arrow at a rapid rate of one arrow per second.

Her goal now was to have the arrow hit the opening of the Rock Iron Giant Snail's shell, thereby causing damage to its body and triggering the effects of the "Blood Curse" and "Aggravated Damage".

[Note 1: Blood Curse: Bleeding effect, 50 damage per second]

[Note 2: Damage Amplification: Each layer of bleeding effect causes an additional 100 points of damage]

However, such a lucky thing would not happen so easily. Until the giant iron snail rolled in front of Adela, none of the arrows she shot hit the enemy's body. They were all bounced off by the extremely hard snail shell.

——(Tsk, damn it…!)

Seeing the giant iron snail about to collide with her, Adela used another skill at the critical moment, "Septic Blood Dummy"! She created a septic blood duplicate to replace her own body while moving her original body to a safe position nearby.

As the giant iron snail collided with the septic blood fake body, the fake body exploded and released a harmful blood mist, but such damage was still not enough to shake the rapidly rolling giant iron snail.

At this moment, Adela only had one card left. After playing this card, if the Rock Iron Giant Snail did not fall, she could only watch it leave.

——(Fall down, big snail!)

Adela took aim at the Giant Rock Snail again and pulled the trigger. This time, she used the Blood Curse Crossbow's built-in skill, "Blood Rapid Fire"!

In an instant, five blood arrows generated by magic power all shot towards the giant iron snail within a second, and each of them inherited the "blood curse characteristics" and "damage aggravation characteristics", and this move is also Adela's strongest burst skill!

However, what disappointed Adela was that although all five blood arrows hit the giant iron snail accurately, the attack was like a stone sinking into the sea, and it was completely unable to stop the giant iron snail from continuing to roll.

At this point, Adela had no other options left. She could only watch helplessly as the giant iron snail rolled further and further away, until...

"Ok?"

Just when Adela thought that the giant iron snail was about to fly away, the giant iron snail actually slowly stopped!

Could it be that Adela's attack was effective?

Adela was immediately surprised and delighted, and she jumped towards the giant iron snail. However, she soon lost her joy after getting closer, because she found that the shell of the giant iron snail was already covered with scars, especially the burn marks which were extremely obvious and still very new.

In other words, the giant iron snail that Adela had just attacked had been severely injured by someone unknown not long ago, and Adela's attack was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Now, it was unknown whether the giant rock snail had run out of endurance or magic power. It stood almost motionless in the same place, stretching its body and extending its tentacles, swaying there, like a piece of fat meat waiting to be slaughtered.

Although Adela was somewhat unwilling, she was not so naive as to ignore such a ready-made experience pack, so she reloaded the Blood Curse Crossbow, preparing to send the giant iron snail on its way as cleanly and neatly as possible.

But at this moment, a group of uninvited guests appeared and interrupted her good thing.

·

"Werewolf girl over there, please wait a moment, meow!" (Common language of the human race)

A sharp voice suddenly came from behind Adela, forcing her to temporarily stop attacking the giant iron snail and turn around to look behind her.

This time, what caught her eyes was a team of black-haired cat people. Judging from the fact that they were all wearing black tights, they should be the cat ninja unit of the cat people.

Since the werewolves and catmen had never had any hatred, Adela was not too vigilant at first. However, after the other party approached, Adela noticed that two cat ninjas had cross darts in their hands, so she immediately put her finger on the trigger of the Blood Curse Crossbow.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" There was a hint of displeasure in Adela's words.

"Ah, thanks for your cooperation, nya. Actually, it's like this..."

The leading cat-nin pointed at the giant rock snail behind Adela, and then asked, "Excuse me... could you please give this giant rock snail to us, meow?"

The typhoon has finally passed

The stupid author will post three chapters in one to celebrate!

Hope everyone is safe!

9.34 - Negotiation Skills

——(Huh? Are these cat people okay?)

When Adela heard that the other party had made such an unreasonable request, her tail almost stood up!

This is just a pretext to steal her experience!

However, her mature rationality allowed Adela to suppress her instinctive impulses. Her reason told her that if she fought with these five cat ninjas now, it would be very disadvantageous to her.

"Hmm? Give it to you? Why?"

Adela pretended to be calm and tried not to let the cat ninjas see what she was thinking.

From this moment on, she will use wisdom and strategy to resolve the crisis like her second brother Kenruxi and Feike!

"Uh... meow, actually it's like this..."

The leading cat ninja captain explained their reasons in a somewhat lengthy manner. It turned out that the rock iron contained in the snail shell of the giant rock iron snail was a very important metal for them, the cat ninjas. Some of their usual equipment, such as cross darts, scatter spikes (also known as cross nails), gauntlet hooks, etc., all needed to be made of rock iron.

Recently, due to the sharp increase in the number of tasks for the cat ninjas, the demand for equipment has also increased, so their team was sent out to look for the Rock Iron Giant Snail, and then they happened to meet Adela.

After listening to the explanation, Adela basically agreed. She had heard from her second brother Kenrushi about the cat people's demand for the giant iron snail before. The rest depended on the "price" at which the next "deal" was finally concluded.

·

If Adela was purely pursuing her own safety, she could hand over the Rock Iron Giant Snail and then stay away from these cat ninjas who seemed to have ulterior motives.

However, as mentioned earlier, Adela is now different from before. In her eyes, these cat ninjas can also become her "stepping stones for growth."

However, most of Adela's skills are still on cooldown, so it is unwise to fight one against five. In addition, these cat ninjas seem to have at least the strength of the mid-second level, and the captain may be at the third level. Even if Adela is now at the maximum level of the third level, she cannot defeat a professional team like them.

Therefore, Adela wanted to win in another way, to gain something other than "experience points".

"Okay, I understand. I can give you this giant rock snail, but I have two conditions."

Adela held up two fingers and deliberately slowed down her speech to buy time to restore her skill cooldown.

"What conditions, meow?"

The Cat Ninja Captain looked sincere, but Adela didn't miss the cunning glint in these guys' eyes.

"First, since you want Rock Iron, I can't give you the experience points of this Rock Iron Giant Snail. I have to kill it..."

Adela observed the cat ninjas' reactions as she spoke. She could tell that these guys really didn't care much about experience points, so she continued:

"Secondly, I can give you the metal and other materials from the giant snail, but... you have to pay."

As she spoke, Adela stretched out her hand, rubbed her index finger and thumb, and made a gesture of giving money.

When the cat ninjas heard Adela's request, some of them widened their eyes and some frowned. It seemed that this hit a sore spot for them.

Adela noticed these reactions but was not worried, because what she really wanted was only the experience points of the Rock Iron Giant Snail. As for the other things, she couldn't move them even if the cat ninjas didn't come. The most she could do was dig out the magic core.

Adela is now using the method taught to her by her second brother Kenrushi. When negotiating terms with others, she must start with a higher price and leave the other party with a certain amount of bargaining space, so that she can finally get her expected benefits.

·

Captain Cat Ninja hesitated for a moment in response to Adela's request, then turned around and discussed with the team members for a while before giving a reply.

"Money, meow... We didn't bring much money with us on this mission, meow. How much do you want? We can write you an IOU, meow."

——(IOU? Are you kidding me?)

Adela complained silently in her heart. She didn't want to go to the cat people's territory again and cause trouble.

"How many do you have? If it's really not enough, you can use some potion items or something to make up for it."

Adela said this, but in fact she would agree to any amount of money the cat ninjas offered her, after all, this was her extra money.
