Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Wei'er was simple-minded and did not understand the hidden meaning of Jiang Ran's words. However, Ai'er, who was suspicious of Jiang Ran, heard a clue from it and learned that the woman who had been with Jiang Ran recently was Grandma Cassie.

——(Okay, Wei'er, I won't doubt him for now, just for now!)

Elle had more or less given up her murderous intent. She felt that no matter how much of a scumbag Banning was, he would not attack Grandma Cassie.

——『Combat Class Skill "Trickster - Lv2" has been deactivated』

"So that's how it is. But Banning, you might not know that things are not going well in this canyon right now. And Rod... he's dead."

Speaking of Rhodes' death, Wei'er's mood immediately became depressed.

Jiang Ran listened quietly to Wei'er's story and learned that people kept disappearing mysteriously in the cavalry camp, and that Rhodes was killed by Reidel.

(So ​​that's what the landslide was about... But... could it really be so easy for a mere dozen or so horses galloping to cause a landslide?)

Jiang Ran always felt that the landslide happened too coincidentally, as if it was going to trap the cavalry in the valley... But if this landslide was also caused by someone in secret, then it would make sense.

(A canyon with both exits blocked...)

(A silent monster that only appears at night...)

(Stone Shadow Rock Demon...Shadow...)

"Banning, let's get out of the canyon quickly. We'll have to find another brown rock flower."

"Regarding these two matters, Wei'er, I also have information to tell you."

Jiang Ran first said that the northern exit of the canyon was also blocked by a landslide. Then, he took out a bunch of brown flowers that looked like stone sculptures from his bag and handed it to Wei'er.

"This is the brown rock flower I collected last night. This much should be enough to treat Grandma Kana's illness."

The sudden appearance of the brown rock flowers really made Wei'er overjoyed. Now she just had to leave the canyon with Banning as soon as possible!

"Oh my god! Where did you find this?! It's so good!!"

In her excitement, Wei'er couldn't control her emotions for a moment and hugged Banning. After hugging for two seconds, she realized that something was wrong and quickly stepped back. With a red face, she lowered her head and began to count how many toes she had, but she couldn't count them because she was wearing shoes.

Looking at the shy and lovely Wei'er, Jiang Ran felt emotional: Although Wei'er has matured a lot, she is still the girl from Ella Village.

·

Afterwards, Jiang Ran took Wei'er to a place in the middle of the canyon where the slope of the cliff was relatively gentle. If they wanted to leave the canyon, climbing out from here was the most reasonable route.

(It's 9: AM now... If everything goes well, we should be able to reach the top of the cliff before dark.)

Wei'er let Ai'er take over her body. Under her control, "Wei'er" climbed the rock wall at a speed comparable to Jiang Ran.

The two climbed up one after the other until Ai'er noticed something strange.

"Wait a minute, Banning, there doesn't seem to be something right with that 'big rock' up there."

"Hmm... I noticed that too..."

Ai'er had detected the anomaly simply by relying on her hearing and sixth sense, while Jiang Ran had used his identification ability to see something very terrifying.

Jiang Ran is now glad that they did not climb too high, otherwise they would have been in a dilemma.

"Aier, go down first. I'll try to contain them from above..."

Looking at the monster, Jiang Ran's heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.

"Ah? Why should I let you protect me..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Get down!"

Jiang Ran's sudden low roar made Ai'er dare not say anything more, and she obediently climbed down the cliff first.

Jiang Ran, on the other hand, was already concentrating all his energy on thinking about how to deal with the monster hiding on the cliff...!

3.25 - Granite Golem

(Is this guy... asleep now...?)

Looking at the big rock protruding from the cliff, Jiang Ran could hear his heart beating wildly.

Up to now, the big rock identified as the "Granite Puppet" has not moved, but Jiang Ran knows in his heart that as long as this guy moves, both Wei'er and himself who are staying on the cliff will die without a burial place.

·

The difference in values ​​is really too big.

·

When Jiang Ran met up with Wei'er just now, he had checked her dashboard information. When Wei'er's personality was controlling her body, the dashboard information Jiang Ran saw was:

━━━━━━━━━━

薇儿

Vitality: 30/30

Stamina: 16/23

Mana: 80/80

━━━━━━━━━━

When Jiang Ran switched to the Ai'er personality, he saw:

━━━━━━━━━━

艾儿

Vitality: 60/60

Stamina: 49/56

Mana: 80/80

━━━━━━━━━━

Ai'er's panel data shows that her vitality and endurance are slightly stronger than Jiang Ran's, but the difference is not so great that she can compete with the granite puppet in front of her.

In addition, Jiang Ran also noticed that Ai'er's combat profession "Murderer" had been upgraded by one level compared to before. It seemed that Wei'er and Ai'er had experienced a lot during the period after he left Ella Village.

Now, Ai'er has followed Jiang Ran's command and reached the ground. Jiang Ran himself began to slowly descend while staring at the granite puppet.

(Granite Golem... Looks like this guy is the monster from the "Future Death Screen." And there's at least one other one like him...)

Jiang Ran felt his scalp tingling at the thought that he might have to face two such monsters at the same time.

However, this is not the full picture of the horror of Shadou Canyon.

Jiang Ran remembered very clearly that the monster in the Shadou Canyon mentioned by the Gude Town Cavalry was called the Stone Shadow Rock Demon. Such a specific name obviously meant that it was not the same monster as this granite puppet.

Besides, Jiang Ran himself had seen a huge snake-like monster at night. Could this snake-like monster be a stone shadow rock monster? Jiang Ran couldn't make such an optimistic guess.

This means that there are at least two types of monsters lurking in this Shadou Canyon.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran's scalp didn't just feel numb, his scalp was gone.

"Ai'er, let's find another route to evacuate. We can't defeat that big guy on the cliff."

"Yes, agreed."

Very rarely, Ai'er agreed with Jiang Ran's suggestion, even though Jiang Ran had not yet told him how terrifying the abnormal stone was.

·

Jiang Ran and Ai'er tiptoed away from the scene. It was a blessing in disguise that the granite puppet was asleep.

As a price for avoiding the fight, Jiang Ran had to find another relatively steeper route to take Wei'er (Aier) out of the valley.

"Banning, you just said there was a landslide at the north exit of the canyon. Does that mean Ryder and the others will probably be back soon?"

"It's possible. If they've observed the canyon's terrain, they might revisit our first route."

When Ai'er stopped insisting on killing him, Jiang Ran found that he could get along well with her.

Unlike Wei'er, Ai'er has a very cold style and talking to her is like talking to a female killer.

"In that case... they will encounter that stone monster, right?" asked Ai'er.

"Yes."

"Why not leave a message to warn them?"

"…Warning about what?"

Ai'er showed appreciation for Jiang Ran's question. The two smiled at each other and did not continue the conversation.

Because they both knew very well that if they continued talking, it might cause unnecessary psychological burden to the kind-hearted Wei'er.

Jiang Ran and Ai'er had the same idea. They both knew that it would take a day to climb to the top of the cliff. During this time, if the stone monster woke up and came to cause trouble for them, it would be fatal.

And if the Gude Town cavalry turned back, abandoned their horses and supplies, and climbed the gently sloping cliff, they would definitely wake up the stone monster.

At that time, if the cavalry can win, it will naturally be a good thing, but even if they can't win, it can buy time for Jiang Ran and Ai'er.

From the moment the cavalry abandoned Rhodes and Wei'er in the landslide, these people were no longer worth saving, not to mention the cavalry captain, Leder, who killed Rhodes.

In addition, because Reidel had killed him once in the "Future Death Scene", Jiang Ran didn't want to have any contact with Reidel at all.

·

Jiang Ran and Ai'er's ideas are beautiful, but reality does not give them an easy chance.

Just when the two of them climbed about ten meters high, they heard a noise in the distance of the canyon. It was the sound of the cavalry.

(What's going on? They're coming back too early, aren't they?)

According to Jiang Ran's calculations, the cavalry team would take at least the afternoon to get back here... The fact that they returned to this area now could only mean that something happened to them along the way!

"Any suggestions, Banning?"

"There's a crack in the cliff over there. Let's hide in there."

There was only one gap on the cliff where people could hide. Jiang Ran asked Ai'er to hide in it first, and then he stood close to Ai'er on the outside of the cliff.

In such a small space, there was no distance between the two of them.

Jiang Ran could feel the softness of Ai'er's (Weier's) chest pressing against him, he could smell the faint pleasant scent on Ai'er's body, he could feel Ai'er's heartbeat, he could feel the warmth of Ai'er's skin, he could see Ai'er's moist lips just within reach.

"Banning, if you have a bulge somewhere, I'll cut it off with these giant scissors."

Ai'er looked at Jiang Ran coldly.

"You think too much."

Jiang Ran turned around and faced Ai'er, indicating that he wanted to see what was happening with the Gude Town Cavalry outside.

As for the third party, Wei'er, she only lasted three seconds before fainting from shyness.

·

Not long after, Jiang Ran saw the cavalry coming in a cloud of dust.

The horses were galloping at full speed, which meant that the cavalry was in some kind of emergency.

(There's no one in front of the cavalry... Could it be that they're not chasing others, but being chased by something?!)

Soon, Jiang Ran saw the answer.

A huge boulder was following closely behind the cavalry, rolling at a speed no less than that of a warhorse!

Once the soldiers are hit by this rolling stone, they and their horses will be crushed to death in an instant!

"There's an open area ahead! Spread out our formation and deal with it!!"

At first, Jiang Ran didn't understand what Reidel's roar meant.

However, Jiang Ran understood after seeing that the rolling stone could actually extend its arms to adjust its rolling direction.

It turns out that this isn't a rolling stone, but another granite puppet monster, and it's chasing the cavalry!

(Okay... now both are here.)

Jiang Ran thought about it and decided to take advantage of the chaotic scene to continue climbing up with Ai'er. However, just as he stuck his head out to confirm the climbing path above, another granite puppet that should have been sleeping fifty or sixty meters away had already come above them.

Moreover, it is still awake.
