Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

About twenty or thirty meters away from him, a half-human, half-plant monster about three meters tall was crying hysterically.

The monster had the head of a human woman, with disheveled hair;

The monster had a lower body like a pitcher plant, and it was so big that it could easily swallow a hippopotamus.

The monster that Tetodaff nicknamed "Sleeping Beauty", the one that could only be seen in the purple crystal ball, actually appeared before Tetodaff's eyes.

——(Finished.)

·

For a second or two, Tetodav's mind went blank with despair.

He had always believed that Sleeping Beauty was someone who should not be provoked, let alone being in close proximity with her in this narrow cave.

So, when the living "Sleeping Beauty" appeared before his eyes, the extremely high concentration of fear caused his brain to temporarily stop working.

But, as I said before, Tetodav is the chief hall master of Teruya Ryuque after all, and he is a practical man who has worked his way up to the position of chief hall master from the bottom, so even if he fell into such a deadly crisis, he still regained his ability to think after two or three seconds.

——(Escape, must escape, escape now!)

Tetodaff didn't care that there were enemies waiting for him above the passage, and immediately flapped his wings and flew away. However, the reaction of "Sleeping Beauty" was no slower than him, and the vines clinging to the rock wall had set up an ambush early, and surrounded Tetodaff from all directions before he could speed up!

Tetodaf cursed inwardly. He had just used his life-saving skill "Holy Sound Feather", and the cooldown time was not over yet.

In this case, he could only settle for the second best and use the attack skill "Jiu Yu Explosion" to save his life!

In an instant, a large number of blade-sharp feathers burst out from Tetodaf's wings, cutting off the attacking vines.

At the same time, he took advantage of the reaction force of this skill and rushed to the place where he fell in one breath!

Just as he was about to escape, a dark shadow that had been waiting for a long time appeared in front of Tetodaf again.

Tetodaf knew that this Blue Flame guy was lurking around him, so without waiting for the other party to make a move, Tetodaf took the initiative!

——(Hehe, don’t try to plot against me…Spinning Sharp Sound Tornado!)

9.246 - Escape

For some reason, Tetodav is in exceptionally good shape right now.

Obviously, his current situation was as bad as when he was attacked by the giant snake monster before, but his mentality was incredibly calm.

Tetodav knew very well that if he was caught by Sleeping Beauty, he would have no chance of survival. At the same time, he also knew that there was definitely more than one enemy chasing him, and if he was surrounded by them, he would not have a good ending either.

If it were the old Tetodav, he would have been so nervous that his whole body would have been stiff in this situation where he failed to plot against the enemy and was ambushed by the enemy. But now, he can still exert 100% of his physical ability easily and freely, and he has no idea what nervousness is.

Is the previous self-talk and self-suggestion still taking effect?

No, Tetodav believes that his current state cannot be achieved by self-suggestion.

There is only one reasonable explanation, that is, Tetodaf's miraculous growth. After the giant snake monster incident, he finally bid farewell to his previous cowardice and officially blossomed and bore fruit.

However, although he was calm, Tetodaf was not stupid enough to attribute the growth of his character to his own strength.

His strategy now was very clear, which was to use all his strength to attack the enemy by surprise, and then use his advantage of being more familiar with the terrain to escape in one breath.

As for who these pursuers are and why they were able to discover the hidden passage in the cave, Tetodaf can wait until he is completely safe before arranging the relevant investigation tasks.

As the skill "Whirling Sharp Sound Tornado" was used, the cave passage immediately became a mess with flying sand and rocks.

In addition to the strong winds, the high-frequency sound shock waves continuously emitted from the tornado also caused considerable damage to the surrounding area.

Taking advantage of this chaotic moment, Tetodaf flew straight up. According to his expectation, the Blue Flame pursuer who was ambushing above would definitely attack him regardless of the strong wind.

Sure enough, just as Tetodav expected, the strange blue flame burned over before he even showed his head.

Seeing this, Tetodaf was not at all panicked. He immediately flapped his wings and used the skill "Sonic Barrier".

He had used this skill before to block the powerful impact of a giant snake monster, and now, he also successfully pushed away the blue flames that were coming towards him.

Then, before the enemy could react, Tetodav drew out his usual weapon, the "Phantom Sound Rapier". Whether he could successfully escape from this predicament depended on his next move!

·

Tetodaf took a stance in mid-air, then ignored the still existing "sonic barrier" and stabbed the black-cloaked enemy with a sword through the air.

Strangely enough, although Tetodav was stabbing with a sword, it made a pleasant sound like playing a string instrument, and there were even visible notes floating in the air.

The black-cloaked enemy was frightened by Tetodaf's attack. Not only did he actively avoid the trajectory of Tetodaf's stab, but he also didn't dare to touch those magic notes.

Tetodaf keenly observed the enemy's movements and immediately rushed towards the enemy while the iron was hot, and continued to stab with the "Phantom Sound Rapier" while sprinting.

After dodging several times in succession, the enemy gradually began to doubt the power of Tetodaff's attacks. After all, let alone the lethality, Tetodaff couldn't even cause damage to the rock walls around the enemy.

Just as Tetodaf was about to launch another stab attack, the enemy swung out a blue flame to confront Tetodaf head-on.

The strange blue flame quickly devoured the magic notes flying from the Phantom Sound Rapier, and then moved further towards Tetodaf.

This time, Tetodaff was unable to use the "Sonic Barrier" to resist the flames again, and was engulfed by the flames without any resistance... and then burned to ashes.

"...?"

The black-cloaked pursuer saw this scene and froze in place, no longer moving.

The reason he became so dazed was not because he was confused about the outcome of the battle, but because he had "lost his goal."

Yes, this so-called black cloak pursuer is actually just a black shadow clone created by Jiang Ran.

After equipping the black shadow clone with camouflage equipment and adding the skill "Shadow Behind: Last Light", Jiang Ran's black shadow clone can already achieve a realistic effect to a certain extent.

However, the black shadow clone was only a clone after all, and could not inherit one of Jiang Ran's most powerful abilities, the "Super-Dimensional Divine Eyes", so it was fooled by the feint shot of the Dove-Winged Man, Tetodaf.

(As expected of the head of a secret intelligence organization, he's quite capable.)

Jiang Ran appeared from the darkness not far away and walked to the place where Tetodaf was "burned".

In that place, Jiang Ran could not find any evidence that Tetodaff had been burned. No matter how powerful the dark blue flames released by the Yama Knight Sword Lanzel were, it would not leave Tetodaff without even a trace of ashes.

(It must be an illusion... or perhaps a clone... Tetodaf's strategy is to use this to buy time. His real body is probably already quite far away.)

Jiang Ran immediately turned around and prepared to chase after him. In terms of speed, he was not inferior to the flying Dove-winged man.

However, with a loud "boom", the cave immediately began to shake violently, the amplitude of the vibration was comparable to a major earthquake!

Jiang Ran immediately realized that this must be Tetodaf's doing. The other party used his skills to trick him into staying here, and then escaped and blew up the cave. He was really cunning!

(Hashrate boost and overclocking!)

If Jiang Ran wanted to escape from the cave immediately, he felt that time might not be enough. So instead of gambling on whether there was enough time, it would be better to use local materials to try to survive the landslide.

Jiang Ran acted immediately and used the knowledge from the Earth world for the first time in a long time. He began to use a large number of stones and other things to build triangular structures on the spot to protect himself from being buried alive in the landslide.

Although Jiang Ran's current physical ability has far exceeded the scope of humans, he is good at attacking but weak in defense, and his skin and flesh are not thick enough to carry the weight of a mountain.

(Okay, I've done what needs to be done... I'll just leave it to fate.)

Jiang Ran quickly completed his self-rescue preparations, and then stayed in the shelter structure he had built to prepare for the arrival of the landslide.

While waiting, Jiang Ran thought about his previous thoughts and suddenly felt that his idea was wrong.

(No… at this point, why are you still saying "let it all be"?)

Jiang Ran felt that he was really ridiculous. It was not his style to leave his life to God.

(Hashrate Increase, Overload!)

His style is to keep fighting till the last moment of his life no matter what happens!

9.247 - Sleeping Beauty

(Stupid Loli: Uh, isn’t it just a landslide in the four caves? Jiang Yan, why are you acting like you’re dying? You weren’t this nervous when you faced the werewolf ancestors.)

(Jiang Ran: I think you have some misunderstanding about the power of nature, silly loli? Do you know how terrifying the power of a collapsing mountain is?)

The naivety of the silly loli made Jiang Ran, who had already made up his mind, feel both amused and helpless. He was no longer in a situation where he could chat and laugh leisurely, but he had been caught off guard by the "heavy gift" given by the Jiuyi Man, Tetodaf.

As the vibrations from all around became more and more intense, the collapse of the cave was about to happen at any time.

Jiang Ran placed the strongest beast-horn giant sword, Komono, on top of the "temporary shelter", hoping that this giant sword that had made great military achievements could also show its power this time.

Then, just as Jiang Ran expected, the collapse inside the cave began...!

·

The inevitable yet sudden collapse happened in an instant.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the tops of many passages inside the cave suddenly broke off from the ground, and then the falling rocks smashed down like falling stars, raising countless dust!

These huge stones collided with each other, making cracking and rolling sounds, like dull thunder echoing in the narrow space.

After a while, the aftermath of the collapse slowly stopped. The dust floating in the air made it difficult to breathe. Even a fifth-level combat professional like Jiang Ran could not escape unscathed.

However, no matter what, as long as you can survive, it is already a great luck.

(I didn’t expect… that I could get through it so easily…)

Jiang Ran looked at the giant beast horn sword above his head, which was safe and sound, and felt very incredible.

He looked around and found that it seemed that only the "temporary shelter" where he was was spared, while other places were smashed beyond recognition by the collapsed rocks.

(It doesn’t seem easy either… I can only say that I was lucky.)

Jiang Ran waved his cloak to blow away the dust around him, looking for a way to escape.

In this cave that had just collapsed, he couldn't open up a path as he wished, because if he was not careful, a second collapse disaster would occur immediately.

However, not everyone in this world is as careful and serious as Jiang Ran. Shortly after the collapse, a woman's plaintive crying sound came from not far away, which gave Jiang Ran goose bumps all over his body.

(Oh no, could this sound be...?!)

There was a crisp sound of seeds exploding in succession. In the ruins a hundred meters away from Jiang Ran, a half-human, half-plant monster suddenly pushed away the broken bricks and rubble on its body, and then looked down at Jiang Ran with arrogance.

Jiang Ran knew at a glance that this guy was the monster that the Dove-Winged Man Tetodaf was monitoring in the purple crystal ball. With this guy's thick skin and flesh, it was no big deal for him to withstand the collapse of the building.

The problem now is that due to the collapse, Jiang Ran is now "in the same room" with this monster, and what's even worse is that all the visible escape routes around are blocked by fallen boulders, making it difficult for Jiang Ran to escape directly.

(Stupid Loli: Oh Jiang Yan, this is a rare experience pack. It would be a shame not to accept it.)

(Jiang Ran: I don't want to waste too much magic power here. Maybe Tetodaf has already set a trap outside. If I use up all my remaining magic power here, it will be dangerous when I try to get out.)

Jiang Ran was telling the stupid loli the truth. He had used a lot of magic power while lurking along the way. If he encountered a strong enemy, he could not guarantee that he would be able to escape, let alone defeat the strong enemy.

However, the environment in the collapsed cave is very bad now. It is not easy for Jiang Ran to find the exit quickly, even if he uses his identification ability.

At this moment of dilemma, the half-human, half-plant monster attacked Jiang Ran, forcing Jiang Ran to deal with it.

·

Beneath the rubble, the hidden half-human, half-plant monster appeared along with its vine attack.

Its strange and eye-catching pitcher plant body seems to be the product of the interweaving of nature's mysterious power and unknown magic. It is difficult to look away once you take a look at it.

The huge plant roots, as if rooted in the ancient earth veins, are as solid and powerful as feet, and are constantly launching vine attacks through the ground that are difficult to predict with the naked eye.

Fortunately, Jiang Ran had the red light warning of the super-dimensional divine eye. Even if he couldn't see the movement of the vines under the ground, he could still know where the attack would come from.

The only thing that Jiang Ran found difficult to accept was the incessant mournful cries of the half-human, half-plant monster, and the occasional human female face that could be seen from its disheveled hair.

This feeling was like using force against a poor mad woman, making it difficult for Jiang Ran to make up his mind to take action.

However, the monster doesn't care about other people's mood. Perhaps in this guy's eyes, Jiang Ran is a prey just like other humans.

·

Seeing the vine attacks coming from all directions, Jiang Ran calmly prepared to dodge, but the subsequent development of the attack surprised him.

Just when Jiang Ran thought that the vines would rush straight towards him, they suddenly turned in the air, and then sprayed out purple-black poisonous mist from the small holes in the vine branches, forcing Jiang Ran to use the "Shadow Escape Step" here.

However, worse developments were yet to come. Since the cave was already closed, Jiang Ran was unable to move to a safe place immediately even if he used the Shadow Escape Step.

In addition, just as Jiang Ran was dodging the vine attack, this half-human, half-plant monster had quietly spread its vines throughout the entire cave space. No matter where Jiang Ran dodged, the next wave of attacks would immediately follow. It was like a prey caught in a spider web with nowhere to escape!

(Trouble is, this guy is tougher than expected.)

Jiang Ran's eyes were now filled with various red light warnings that were counting down. The attacks of this half-human, half-plant monster were so frequent and intensive that the early warning function of the Super-Dimensional Divine Eye was almost rendered useless.

What made Jiang Ran even more troubled was that fire, which was most effective against plant-type enemies, was not suitable for use in this cave.

Judging from the combustible volume of this half-human, half-plant monster, as long as Jiang Ran uses the blue flame, it will definitely be completely ignited. At that time, the oxygen in the cave will be quickly exhausted, and Jiang Ran himself will be suffocated to death.
