Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

"El, next we..."

After chasing for dozens of seconds, Jiang Ran was about to tell Ai'er the new battle plan. At this moment, a bright light suddenly flashed across the sky, and then something hit one of the granite puppets with a "bang", directly blowing its head off!

Before Jiang Ran and Ai'er could react to what was happening, a second and third flash of light appeared, breaking the granite puppet's two legs in the blink of an eye, turning it into a piece of immobile waste stone.

"Hello again, Hunter."

A silver-haired girl with her face covered with a white veil floated over. She seemed to have come down from the top of the cliff, but Jiang Ran and Ai'er did not notice her presence until she spoke.

(Vivianna Scarlet...?!)

"Why are you here, sir?"

"If you're bored, just go out for a walk."

Viviana waved her finger, and the three white lights immediately returned to her side. They turned out to be three floating scarlet silver swords.

(Such a slender sword can actually possess such power...)

If Viviana hadn't given Jiang Ran the opportunity to see clearly, Jiang Ran would have thought that it was a cannon that hit the granite puppet.

"These stupid stone lumps don't look like rock shadow demons... Never mind, just treat it as a warm-up."

Viviana flew out, and Jiang Ran took the opportunity to take a look at her status information.

Viviana Scarlet

Life: 3210/3210

Stamina: 2199/2315

Mana: 1170/3170

━━━━━━━━━━

As expected of a Lv51 Magic Swordsman, Jiang Ran knew from the data and the "performance" just now that the Granite Puppet would not be Viviana's opponent.

Jiang Ran tactfully stepped back and stood with Ai'er, watching as a spectator how the Lv51 magic swordsman would slaughter the granite puppets.

At this moment, Jiang Ran subconsciously glanced at Ai'er's heart, and then he realized that he had made a big mistake.

——(“Meet again”? Banning knows this silver-haired girl?)

——(Why didn't Benning mention this silver-haired girl at all when he talked about what he had been doing recently?)

——(Is this guy Banning...hiding something from Wei'er?)

Ai'er's inner thoughts made Jiang Er break out in a cold sweat.

(How can you pay attention to such details in such a tense battle, Ai'er?)

(Benni: Hahahaha Jiang Yan! There’s a fire in your backyard!!)

At this moment, Jiang Ran even felt that dispelling Ai'er's doubts was more urgent than dealing with the granite puppet!

However, Jiang Ran was a professional after all, and he immediately found a suitable opportunity to remedy the situation.

"This is simply inhuman combat ability..."

"Aier, you know, this person is ridiculously strong. I ran into her by chance while hunting in Luka Forest some time ago. I never expected to meet her here again. Now we are saved!"

Jiang Ran pretended to mention it casually, and Ai'er just said "Oh" and didn't say anything else.

If it were someone else, they would definitely be panicking at this time.

Boys all know that they are not afraid of anything else, but they are afraid that girls will only reply with an "oh", which is basically equivalent to a death sentence.

But Jiang Ran can see into Ai'er's heart, so he knows the true meaning of this "Oh"!

At this moment, Ai'er was thinking:

——(Isn’t this woman too strong?)

——(Why can she control the sword to fly in the air?)

——(How did she split the stone with that sword? Wouldn’t the sword’s edge bend?)

Now, Jiang Ran felt relieved.

It's a blessing in disguise that Ai'er's combat profession is a killer.

However, to be honest, no matter who sees Viviana's fighting scenes, they will be fascinated by it.

Viviana is both a "conductor" and a "dancer".

She simply flicked her fingers, and the scarlet-silver rapier shuttled back and forth as if it had life;

She danced gracefully among the enemies, always dodging the attacks just in time;

After just two minutes, the remaining two granite puppets turned into rubble and stopped moving.

However, the battle went so smoothly that the three of them failed to notice that countless tiny spider-web-like cracks were quietly spreading out under their feet.

3.29 - Underground Cave (Additional update)

"That's a bit strange... Why don't these stupid rocks have magic cores inside them...?"

Viviana cut the granite block apart, as if searching for something.

Jiang Ran went forward to ask and learned that there is a magic core in the body of each monster, which is equivalent to the heart of the monster. It can be sold for money and can also be used to make potions and equipment. It is a very good thing.

Jiang Ran felt that this just verified his previous guess, so he told Viviana that these granite puppets might be summoned creatures.

After hearing this, Viviana frowned and looked anxious.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook.

Jiang Ran was surprised to see the ground where he and Viviana were standing was instantly covered in red light, and a three-second countdown appeared immediately. Could it be...?!

Without time to think, Jiang Ran quickly rushed towards Ai'er, who was standing at the edge of the red light, and pushed her out. Then, the ground suddenly cracked open, and Jiang Ran, who had no time to escape, could only fall helplessly...

·

·

When Jiang Ran woke up, he found himself lying in an underground cave. The exit above was blocked by rocks. That should be where he fell.

He immediately checked his body and was surprised to find that he had only suffered minor skin injuries.

(How come he only suffered minor injuries after falling from a height of over ten meters?)

Jiang Ran sat up and found that Viviana was standing not far in front of him, exploring the surrounding environment with the glowing magic stone. Only then did he realize that it must be Viviana who saved him.

However, Jiang Ran was also a little surprised. With Viviana's ability, they shouldn't have fallen down together.

"Sir, did you save me?"

"You're awake now. It's not about saving me. The ground crack just now was aimed at me. I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."

Jiang Ran was touched by Viviana's politeness and humility.

Such a kind nobleman must have never been beaten by society.

"How, how could it be that you, sir, have implicated me! Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"

Jiang Ran thanked Viviana and began to explore the cave with her.

While exploring, Jiang Ran took a look at his status information. His vitality was okay, and his endurance and magic power were sufficient.

Viviana's vitality was intact, but her magic power was a little strained. However, a wealthy family like hers should carry some magic potions with them, right?

Jiang Ran followed behind Viviana and saw that where the glowing magic stone shone, creatures such as toads, olm and long-eared jerboa jumped out. They were frightened and ran away.

(With so many animals living in this cave, there must be a way to the outside world.)

The presence of the small animals made Jiang Ran feel relieved. If it were a closed cave, it would be difficult to escape.

After his tense nerves relaxed a little, Jiang Ran recalled the scene when the ground collapsed just now. Since a red light countdown prompt appeared in his field of vision, it meant that the ground crack was not a natural phenomenon, but was caused intentionally by "humans".

The landslides and ground cracks that have occurred so far are likely the work of the same "person".

In addition, Viviana just said clearly:

——"The ground crack just now was aimed at me. I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."

The implication is that she also realized that the ground crack was an attack from the enemy.

Jiang Ran really wanted to discuss the current situation with Viviana, but in front of a strong person, he had to be careful not to reveal his abilities.

(Let's take it one step at a time.)

·

"Sir, I think we can find the way to the outside world by following the footprints of the small animals."

After exploring for a while, Viviana had no gains. Jiang Ran gave timely advice, which was in line with his identity as a hunter.

Viviana nodded and asked Jiang Ran to lead the way.

Viviana originally thought that they would be ambushed by the enemy immediately after falling into the underground cave, but strangely, they had been falling for nearly ten minutes and nothing had happened yet.

(Strange...why does my magic power seem to be decreasing again?)

As she walked, Viviana once again felt her magic power draining away. Ever since she entered the Shadou Canyon, she had this feeling from time to time.

Even though she had been using her magic very sparingly, it felt like only about one-fifth was left.

If you encounter a strong enemy at this time, then...

"Sir, there's a passage leading to the outside! I can faintly feel the wind blowing in!"

At this time, the unknown hunter brought good news to Viviana, but unfortunately the diameter of the passage was only the size of a watermelon, and there was no way for the two of them to pass through.

Just then, what Viviana had been worried about happened.

Four granite golems emerged from nowhere and surrounded Viviana and the hunter at the edge of the stone wall.

(You're not going to show up until I've exhausted my magic power, right?)

Viviana blocked the hunter behind her, drew her sword, and faced the four granite golems without fear.

"Hunter, hide at the back. I will protect you."

Viviana's words made Jiang Ran feel very safe, but the situation was special now, so he had to remind Viviana.

"Sir! I think the enemy's goal is probably to consume your magic power, you...!"

"I know, that's what I thought too."

Viviana rushed out. She didn't intend to let the granite golems advance any further into this narrow cave.

She turned around and swung her sword low. The scarlet silver sword wrapped in divine light cut through iron like mud and easily cut off the legs of the granite puppet in front, making it a roadblock for her companions behind.

Then, Viviana floated past the granite puppet calmly like a butterfly and came to the enemy behind.

The leisurely Viviana suddenly accelerated to be as swift as a dragonfly or a bee, with a flurry of slashes mixed with thrusts, and each blow hit the cracks or joints of the enemy's body.

In the blink of an eye, she effortlessly removed the heads, hands, and feet of the granite puppets, turning them into veritable stupid stones.

Jiang Ran watched from behind and learned a lot. Viviana's fighting style was very efficient, which was definitely a skill that could only be honed on the battlefield.

(A holy light shone upon the crimson-silver longsword. It seemed to be a continuous weapon enhancement skill...)

In the end, with only 60 points of magic power consumed, Viviana made the four granite puppet monsters unable to move. Jiang Ran secretly admired Viviana's combat IQ. She really didn't consume too much magic power on these summons.

"Summoner of the stupid stones, listen carefully."

Viviana stepped on the head of a granite golem and began to try to call out the enemy behind the scenes.

"These broken stones can't wear me down. If you have the guts, come out and fight me head-on."

However, these words were too childish, and it was obvious that she had no experience in provoking the enemy.

Jiang Ran laughed as he listened. He walked forward and motioned to Viviana to let him do it.

"My lord, leave this vulgar matter to me."

Jiang Ran sat down on the granite puppet's head, cleared his throat, and then began to demonstrate his basic qualities as a former veteran player in the Zaun area.
