Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

——(Who is this?!)

Shiiki Ruri wanted to see the appearance of the person who came as soon as possible, but what she saw first was the white bone knife flying towards her.

The spinning bone knife was extremely fast, and with the large amount of smoke and dust blocking the view, Shiiki Ruri was forced to use the "Wind Step in the Air" to avoid the attack.

While dodging, Shiiki Ruri vaguely saw that there was another bone knife flying towards Grandpa Guiyu. Based on her understanding of Grandpa Guiyu, he would definitely not be able to dodge at such a fast speed.

——(Swift Wind Thrust!)

Without any hesitation, Shiiki Ruri took action directly and helped Grandpa Guiyu with his fastest long-range straight-line attack.

But what she didn't expect was that there was more than one bone knife flying towards Grandpa Guiyu. In the blind spot of her vision that she didn't notice, there were actually three more knives attacking the old man.

What made Shiiki Ruri even more worried was that the black shadow that fell from the sky had recovered from the impact of landing and was rushing towards Grandpa Guiyu following the swirling bone knives.

——(Oh no, it’s too late!)

Shiiki Ruri's heart was in her throat at this time, but what happened next was beyond her expectations. The seemingly fragile Grandpa Guiyu not only blocked the bone knife with "some invisible barrier", but also knocked the black shadow out!

At this point, Shiiki Ruri had the opportunity to see the attacker's appearance clearly for the first time. It turned out that this guy was not another candidate, but a monster that was almost human-like.

— (Green skin… four limbs… orange-yellow insect wings… is this guy a fifth-level Chaos Insect Lizard?!)

For a moment, Shiiki Ruri's heart was filled with alarm, thinking that a monster of this level might very likely take her life and Grandpa Guiyu's life.

After Grandpa Guiyu withstood the first wave of attacks from the monsters, he immediately made a "retreat" gesture to Shiiki Ruri, which coincided with Shiiki Ruri's judgment.

However, just as Shiiki Ruri was about to use "Wind and Shadow" to cover Grandpa Guiyu, Grandpa Guiyu changed his attitude because of "something" in the monster's hand.

10.59 - Fight When You Need to Fight

After being pushed away by Old Man Guiyu, the monster that broke into the battlefield did not launch a pursuit, but instead spread out its palms towards Old Man Guiyu.

“Eat…eat…let’s eat…”

A voice like whispering came out of the monster's mouth, and what surprised Old Man Guiyu was that the monster actually spoke the common language of humans.

——(Impossible... How could this monster know our human language?)

Attracted by the monster's strange behavior, old man Guiyu couldn't help but look at the other's palm, wanting to see what this guy wanted him to eat.

But when the object in the monster's palm came into the eyes of Mr. Guiyu, his curiosity turned into fear. The monster in front of him, which was already dangerous, suddenly became even more terrifying.

What was placed in the monster's palm... was the "purple-black pill" that Old Man Guiyu had seen before.

·

A few days ago, when the two masked girls in black came to see Mr. Guiyu, they asked him to swallow their pills.

[Note: For details, see chapter 10.42 - The Donkey in Guizhou is at its wit's end]

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, Old Man Guiyu immediately saw through the poisonous nature of those pills.

Now, the black-clothed and masked girls have not appeared again, but the identical purple-black pill has once again caught the eyes of Mr. Guiyu.

Such a "coincidence" gave Old Man Guiyu no reason not to associate them together.

——(Is this monster... in league with them?)

·

For Mr. Guiyu, it is not difficult to think of this, but the difficult part is how to sort out the logic behind this matter.

Although the two black-clothed and masked girls did not reveal their appearance, Old Man Guiyu could basically confirm that they were humans or subhumans.

But now, the one who came to Grandpa Guiyu with the purple-black pill was a monster, and obviously only the demons could associate with monsters.

——(Could it be that... the one secretly controlling our organization isn't really the Wester royal family, but... the Hell Abyss Empire?)

It was so ironic that Old Man Guiyu really wanted to laugh out loud at his own guess.

In this day and age, it is a huge joke that an organization like the Snake Shadow Society can infiltrate the rear of the Human Alliance. If even the "Zhao Ye Liu Que" is controlled by the demons, then the face of the "Three Royal Knights of Savior" that the Human Alliance is proud of can be cut off and thrown into the cesspool!

——(Impossible, absolutely impossible...!)

Old man Guiyu shook his head violently, trying to get rid of these absurd thoughts from his mind.

Be it the Snake Shadow Society or the Hell Abyss Empire, these things were intricately linked, and he couldn't figure it out, nor did he want to!

However, there is only one thing that Grandpa Guiyu is extremely certain of - that is, no matter what the previous chief hall masters did, he, the master of Que Hall, Guiyu, will never surrender to the demons!

·

"Xiao Liuli, the situation has changed. Let's take down this monster together first!"

Old Master Guiyu raised his "Two-handed Dagger: Illusionary Black Blade" and planned to give up the fight for the position of Grand Master and put all his endurance and magic power into the current battle.

Generally speaking, it is simply a pipe dream for two fourth-level combat professionals to deal with a fifth-level monster, but Grandpa Guiyu believes in his own and Xiao Liuli's strength. He believes that even if they really cannot defeat it, they have a way to escape from the battle.

Xiao Liuli was quite loyal. He had just fought to the point of almost risking his life, but now he agreed without hesitation, as if they were not in a competition but were carrying out a mission together.

Thus, starting with Xiao Liuli's skill "Mirage Shadow", the joint battle of this "grandfather and grandson" combination began.

·

The strong wind blew up sand and dust and attacked the monster. Xiao Liuli accurately controlled the range in front of Old Man Guiyu, so that he would not be affected by the reduction of his agility attribute.

Old man Guiyu was ready to take the damage head-on, and he positioned his next role as Xiao Liuli's shield.

The monster sensed the two men's hostility, roared, gathered the pills, and flew towards them. Seeing this, Old Man Trickster immediately cast his "Deception Cloak: Dilsif" and activated his skill "False Blessing" to block the enemy's attack. He intended to use the damage he sustained to estimate the enemy's strength, which would help him calculate his subsequent skills.

As expected, the small-sized old man Guiyu was slapped away by the monster in an instant. Xiao Liuli did not waste the opportunity he created. He went around the enemy's side and rear in one breath, and released the skills "Gas Stab" and "White Wind Phantom Weasel" in succession, tearing a hole in the monster's back with the sharp wind blade and the high-speed spinning magic sickle weasel!

——(Yes, this will work!)

Seeing the exoskeleton armor on the monster's back was destroyed, Shiiki Ruri's confidence soared. Next, she will aim at the monster's wings. As long as the wings are destroyed, this fifth-level "Mortal Winged Lizard" will lose its most iconic fighting method.

However, there was always a question lingering in Shiiki Ruri's mind, that is, this Zombie Winged Lizard looked different from the one she had seen in the picture book before.

Normally, the Winged Lizards have green-skinned lizard heads, but this monster has a black-skinned rabbit head on its neck, and the pair of drooping rabbit ears are also frightening.

——(Maybe a mutant? Or a new species that hasn’t been discovered yet?)

Shiiki Ruri didn't have time to think about these things, because after being attacked by her, the monster immediately changed direction and chased after her.

——(Stepping into the air with wind!)

Faced with a monster that was one level stronger than her, Shiiki Ruri remained calm. Even if the monster flapped its wings and flew towards her while she was jumping in the air, she was able to "jump" out a "Z"-shaped line in the air in time and playfully leave the monster behind her.

After the "White Wind Blessing" was stacked to three layers, Shiiki Ruri immediately consumed these enhanced states and instantly reset the skill "White Wind Phantom Weasel" which was on cooldown. Then, he launched a two-hit combo of "White Wind Phantom Weasel" and "Swift Wind Stab", tearing the monster's back into a bloody mess!

At this point in the battle, both Shiiki Ruri and Old Man Guiyu could vaguely see the hope of victory.

If the current combat mode can continue, killing the monster is just a matter of time.

However, Shiiki Ruri and Old Man Guiyu were both experienced combat professionals. They knew very well that they should never treat monsters as idiots - when monsters were forced into a corner, they would often change the way they fought.

"Xiao Liuli! Get behind me! Something is coming!"

While Old Man Guiyu was shouting loudly, Shiiki Ruri had already rushed towards him.

The Winged Lizard with a wound on its back stopped chasing. The two pairs of orange-yellow membrane wings on its back were now emitting a dangerous red light.

Thanks to the passive effect of the skill "Word Curse", Old Man Guiyu saw the name of the skill that the opponent was about to use.

When he saw the four words "high-frequency wing sound" clearly, the shock wave emitted by the high-speed vibration of the wings swept over him and Xiao Liuli with unstoppable force...!

10.60 - Decision Moment

——(It's a wide-area attack?!)

The sudden change in the attack method of the Sangluan Insect-Winged Lizard caught Old Man Guiyu and Shiki Ruri off guard.

Even though Mr. Guiyu had seen the name of the skill "High-Frequency Wing Sound" in advance, he still didn't have time to make a correct response and had to withstand the sonic attack.

In an instant, Old Man Guiyu felt that he was numbed from the inside out, with sharp pains all over his body, especially his head, which hurt so much that it felt like it was about to split apart!

Affected by the severe pain, Mr. Guiyu fell into a temporary "dizziness". He couldn't even open his eyes and was unable to take any action for a while.

On the other side, Shiiki Ruri was also unable to defend or dodge, but because of her higher agility attribute, the damage she received was much less than that of the old man Weird Whisper, and she was still able to maintain her ability to move.

The situation, which was almost one-sided, was completely reversed by the influence of a single skill. Even more cruelly, the Sorrowful Insect Winged Lizard gave the two no chance to breathe and immediately launched a pursuit towards them! The speed was even faster than before!

At the moment of life and death, Shiiki Ruri used her peripheral vision to confirm Grandpa Guiyu's condition. She saw that Grandpa Guiyu was unable to move for the time being.

If Shiiki Ruri only protected herself, Grandpa Guiyu would surely die, so even though she was extremely panicked, she still gritted her teeth and stood between Grandpa Guiyu and the monster.

——(I won’t let you kill Grandpa Whisper!)

Shiiki Ruri took a gamble and activated the skill "Wind Ninja Curse". From then on, as long as she did not receive damage, her agility attribute would continue to increase until it reached 1000%.

With ten times the agility, she will once again overwhelm this agile monster in terms of speed.

However, if she is accidentally injured, her agility attribute will be immediately reduced to 10% of the initial value and cannot be changed for one minute.

When that happens, she's doomed.

"Kill me first if you can! Stupid monster!"

Shiiki Ruri casually threw a bottle of corrosive venom at the rushing insect-winged lizard, accurately hitting the guy's strange rabbit head.

The Sangluan Insect-Winged Lizard was enraged by Shiiki Liuli and fired three bone throwing knives at her in a row, then rushed towards her with a roar.

Seeing this, Shiiki Ruri immediately ran away. As long as she could lead this guy away from Grandpa Guiyu, her goal would be achieved.

The bone knife flew and the monster chased closely. Shiiki Ruri performed the "Wind Step in the Air" and was like dancing on a tightrope.

Just now, because she was hit by the monster's sonic attack, the effect of the "Wind Whispering Sword" was triggered, and now she has a layer of "Wind Whispering Shield" on her body to tolerate mistakes.

However, Shiiki Ruri didn't know whether the shield would be penetrated by the monster, so her safest option was to remain unharmed.

As time passed second by second, Shiiki Ruri's agility attribute continued to increase, which made the attacks of the Sangluan Insect Winged Lizard get farther and farther away from her.

When the time came to 3 seconds after the "high-frequency wing sound", the Sorrow Winged Lizard seemed to realize that the old rat man had regained consciousness. It suddenly gave up chasing the cat girl and stopped where it was, brewing something...

“Hiss—hiss—!!!”

With a sharp roar, the damaged exoskeleton armor on the back of the Chaos Insect Winged Lizard grew back. In addition, its thick and long tail was also covered with white bone thorns.

Shiiki Ruri was not surprised that this guy could regenerate his exoskeleton armor, because this was all information recorded in the picture book.

What really frightened her now was the wide-range sonic attack launched by the Zombie Winged Lizard just now.

If she was hit again like just now, both she and Grandpa Guiyu would be finished.

"Thank you for your protection, Xiao Liuli. I have regained my mobility."

Grandpa Guiyu's voice came from the side, adding some courage to Shiiki Ruri's uneasy heart.

Then, Grandpa Guiyu’s confession made her feel that she had saved the right person.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Liuli. What I said just now about you being poisoned was actually a lie. I hope you can forgive me."

Hearing this, Shiiki Ruri felt reassured and could now focus on dealing with the monster in front of her. However, for the sake of face, she still had to show off her strength with words.

"Is that so? Actually, I guessed it, meow~ Hahaha~"

·

The grudge between the two of them disappeared along with Shiiki Ruri's laughter.

Faced with this troublesome insect-winged lizard, Old Man Guiyu and Shiki Ruri quickly exchanged opinions.

Shiiki Ruri thought that the most important thing at the moment was to avoid the next sonic attack. Judging from the situation just now, this move would be difficult to avoid as long as you were within the enemy's attack range.

Old Man Guiyu agreed with this. He was not sure if he could use his shield skills to block the attack. If he couldn't, then only death would be waiting for them.

"Although there is a possibility of successfully blocking, the risk is too high and we can't afford to take the risk."

After saying this, Old Man Guiyu immediately revealed a bombshell. While Shiiki Ruri was distracting the monster, Old Man Guiyu had observed the damage to the surrounding ground and deduced that the Zombie Winged Lizard's "High-Frequency Wing Call" attack range was approximately 20 meters in radius.

In other words, when the wings of the Chaos Winged Lizard light up, as long as they can hide 25 meters away, they will basically be safe.

The distance of 25 meters is a piece of cake for Shiiki Ruri, but it is quite difficult for old man Guiyu.

It only took about two seconds for the wings of the Zombie Insect-Winged Lizard to light up and launch an attack. In such a short time, it was already very good for Old Man Guiyu to run 10 meters.

Therefore, in order to ensure his own safety, Mr. Guiyu must always keep a distance of more than 15 meters from the enemy, but in this way, he will become useless in this battle.

——(I never thought that there would be a day when I would fall behind. Time really is merciless...)
