Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Before the convoy arrived, Woodcorn led his men and worked with the members of the Feiqi family to dismantle the huge corpse of the Frozen Armor Earwig King.

After personally trying it out, Woodcorn had an even greater admiration for Scarlet Lord Driggs, because after actually removing the outer shell of the Frost-Armored Earwig King, Woodcorn realized that this monster was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

The courage and wisdom displayed by Driggs in battle truly lived up to the title of "Explosive Flame".

On the other hand, the vase Viviana completely confirmed Woodcorn's bad impression.

The so-called "Silver Queen Bee" really was flying around like an annoying bug, and its weak "sting" attack didn't achieve anything in the end.

——(You're doting on your child too much, Lord Scarlet... It's a waste to make a trip to the Craftsman United States just for this little vase. Even the best equipment would be wasted on a little vase like this.)

Woodcorn complained silently in his heart, he certainly couldn't say such words out loud.

After the dismantling work had been going on for a while, Lord Driggs of Scarlet told Woodcorn that he wanted to show Viviana around and broaden the child's horizons.

Hearing this, Woodcorn immediately understood.

It turns out that Driggs was planning to take over the Bessant Basin!

—(Haha, actually, I want to use this waiting time to travel light with Viviana and see what the Bessent Basin has to offer.)

"Okay, please be safe. If the reindeer sled team arrives, I'll have someone light a signal fire. Please return here as soon as possible and reunite."

Woodcorn saw through Driggs's intentions but did not say anything.

It's just a trip to the Bessant Basin. There's no need to hide this from Woodcorn and the others.

Because, since the Plateau Hearthfire Guild dared to issue a commission to investigate the Bessent Basin, they naturally were not afraid of others checking it out.

The plan being carried out by the Plateau Furnace Union is not some shady "conspiracy", but an "open conspiracy" that no one else can stop.

Even if Driggs and his men discovered the "treasure" hidden in the Bessant Basin, Woodcorn was not worried that they would be able to take it away.

Whatever Driggs was planning, as long as they were still in the territory of the High Plains Hearth Union, Woodcorn still had room to maneuver.

The camera cuts back to Jiang Ran.

After successfully sneaking into the temporary camp of the Dark Rabbit Clan, Jiang Ran, who controlled the flying bats, was now free to come and go.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the situation of this hidden race, he did not rush into action. Instead, he left the camp and found the nearest town to replenish his magic power.

Oh, don't get me wrong, replenishing magic power means sleeping, not doing things that increase the body temperature of a good girl and cause friction to do "work".

Since it was still daytime, Jiang Ran only took a nap for an hour.

Based on his current total amount of magic power, the magic power restored by sleeping for an hour is enough for him to use normally for a long time.

After waking up, Jiang Ran originally planned to organize the information he had collected this time, but a steel-feathered owl flew in from the window and made him put down what he was doing for the time being.

Because, tied to the leg of this steel-feathered owl is a crucial letter from Shiiki Ruri.

The seeds that Jiang Ran planted in Zhaoye Liuque finally took root and sprouted today.

10.102 - Arrival at Bessant Basin

(I really didn't expect Xiao Liuli to move so quickly.)

When opening the letter envelope, Jiang Ran's hands couldn't help but tremble.

After seeing the "giant humanoid black shadow" with the ability to foresee the future of death, Jiang Ran drew it and sent a letter to Xiao Liuli, hoping to use the powerful intelligence ability of "Zhao Ye Liuque" to find out the true identity of the "giant humanoid black shadow".

[Note: See chapter 10.78 - Moments of Growth for details]

Now that Xiao Liuli has sent a letter back, there must be some result.

Who is this "giant humanoid black shadow" that will kill him in seventeen days? Is it the "Rabbit God" that the little loli Tokini mentioned? Jiang Ran is about to find out the answer.

·

Jiang Ran opened the envelope and unfolded the letter, his movements quick and cautious.

After quickly skimming through the contents of the letter, Jiang Ran then read it carefully word by word, fearing that he might have missed any important information.

Finally, after reading the contents of the letter three times, Jiang Ran sighed.

Instead of feeling happy because he knew the "truth", his mood became even heavier.

In summary, the content of Shiiki Ruri's reply coincided with Jiang Ran's previous speculation.

Similar to what the little loli Tokini said, after investigation, the people of Teruya Ryuque also came to the conclusion that "the huge humanoid black shadow is most likely the Rabbit God."

However, the information that Zhaoye Liuque could investigate was more than that.

With the help of Zhaoye Liuque's huge database, Xiao Liuli gave Jiang Ran a detailed introduction about "Lord Rabbit God".

The so-called Rabbit God, judging from various records, is not just a fictional god, but a real "demigod".

After a fixed period, the Rabbit God of the Rabbit People will appear to help the Rabbit People defeat hostile races or other powerful enemies.

The reason why Xiao Liuli is so sure is that the records about "Lord Rabbit God" not only appear in the historical materials of the rabbit people, but also appear in the documents of other races, such as the werewolf tribe.

In the records of other races, the Rabbit God is called a "monster" or a "moon-eating monster."

It is so powerful that it can even fight against an entire race on its own.

Whenever the Rabbit God appears, it is often accompanied by the extremely rare astronomical phenomenon of a total lunar eclipse, which is why it is called the "Moon-Eating Monster."

After introducing so much to Jiang Ran, Xiao Liuli asked him two more questions.

The two questions are:

1. If the "Rabbit God" is likely to have existed, why are all the records of the Rabbit People regarding him so vague? Some even contain significant discrepancies?

Second, the Dark Rabbit Clan and the Bunnymen have parted ways. Will this affect the emergence of the "Rabbit God"? If so, which side of the deity would he represent?

·

"Tsk...a total lunar eclipse..."

Jiang Ran kept mumbling to himself, and couldn't help but sigh for the fourth time.

If the cycle calculated by Xiao Liuli is correct, then in the next fifteen to twenty days or so, Jiang Ran will have the opportunity to see a total lunar eclipse in the Prison Star World again.

To be exact, this time range just covers Jiang Ran's future death date, which makes the inference in Xiao Liuli's letter more credible.

At this point, Jiang Ran’s final opponent this time can basically be determined to be "Lord Rabbit God".

To fight against this guy who could ravage the werewolf royal family, Jiang Ran felt that even if he had ten more lives, it would not be enough.

Yes, that's right, he was talking about his current self.

Now that he already knew who his opponent was, and the enemy was in the open while he was in the dark, Jiang Ran, who had "as much as" seventeen days in his hands, would never just wait for death.

For him, seventeen days was enough time to do a lot of things.

Besent region, Besent Mountains.

The perspective returns to Driggs and Viviana.

On the ridge covered with thick snow, Driggs and Viviana walked quickly one after the other.

The serious and silent atmosphere between the two of them, as always, did not have the slightest feeling of being a father and daughter.

Driggs is indifferent to Viviana not because he is not her biological father, but because he is the same to everyone.

Viviana has long been accustomed to such a relationship. Compared with those "weak" family ties, she hopes to use her strength to make her father recognize her.

"Time is limited, I have to speed up."

Driggs always only informed and never discussed. After such a brief sentence, the speed of movement suddenly increased to the point that Viviana had to run at full speed to catch up.

However, behind this seemingly inhumane approach, Driggs actually has careful considerations.

If he really went at full speed, he could leave Viviana behind in minutes, but in reality he just managed to stabilize at a speed that Viviana could barely keep up with.

From another perspective, it would actually be faster and better for Driggs to investigate this kind of thing in the Bessant Basin alone.

But he took the initiative to bring Viviana along as a "burden" in order to give Viviana as much training as possible.

After an hour or two of high-speed marching, the two finally arrived at the edge of the Besant Basin.

Driggs remained calm, but Viviana was so tired that she could hardly breathe.

"I'll go down first. Come up after you've rested."

In the same cold tone, Driggs had a one-sided communication with Viviana in an imperative manner, and then he descended the steep slope into the basin without looking back.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that his decision is not only gentle in letting Viviana take a rest first, but also shows his responsibility to enter the dangerous area first to explore.

However, Viviana is not good at thinking about feelings. She now feels that she is holding them back, so she wants to become stronger.

The "confusion" about the future and the "obsession" with becoming stronger, these two inner demons were not only not driven away after this experience, but became even more deeply rooted in Viviana's heart.

——(Father...Banning...I will definitely change your opinion of me...!)

·

Driggs didn't realize he was doing a lot of things that were counterproductive.

All he wanted now was to find out the secret of the Bessent Basin as soon as possible.

Since they parted ways with the people from the Plateau Hearthfire Guild, they have encountered many monsters above level five on the way to the Besent Basin.

In order to save stamina and magic power, Driggs avoided all battles, and he also found that these monsters wandering outside the Besent Basin seemed to all be the same as the King of Frost-Armored Earwigs, and were supposed to live in the Besent Basin.

Driggs wondered what it meant when monsters left an area in large numbers.

Or maybe the living environment has become too harsh...

Or perhaps an extremely powerful predator broke in and affected the survival of the indigenous people...

10.103 - Close to the truth

——(You must be joking. Those are level 5 or even level 6 monsters...!)

Driggs was surprised by his second guess. "Seventh-level monster" - that was not just a sixth-level monster increased by one level.

For example, the sixth-level monster that Driggs had just killed alone not long ago: the "Frost-Armored Earwig King", this insect-type monster is a good negative example.

In the Prison Star world, any monster that reaches level six and has words like "king", "commander", or "leader" in its name, no matter how strong it is, can only be regarded as a "squad leader" at best.

Therefore, these monsters who "only" possess the strength of the sixth level but call themselves "kings" are also called "little kings" by senior monster experts.

However, once your strength reaches level seven, things will be different.

Any monster that is level seven or above and has the word "king" in its name must be the "true king" who commands a large number of monsters.

If the "Frost-Armored Earwig King" could advance to the seventh level, then what Driggs would be facing today would not just be a single monster, but an army of insect-type monsters that could easily destroy an entire town.

Driggs was lucky, because the Frost-Armored Earwig species had yet to produce a unique individual capable of reaching the Seventh Stage.

When the seventh-level Frost Armor Earwig appears, I believe that monster experts will definitely rename the sixth-level "King of Frost Armor Earwigs" to Giant Frost Armor Earwig or something like that.

By then, the true "Frozen-Armored Earwig King" will lead all the earwig monsters to rule the world.

Back to the topic, the current abnormal phenomena in the Besent area make Driggs extremely vigilant.

Although he hoped very much that all this was caused by the deterioration of the natural environment, judging from the current situation, the natural appearance of the Besent area was basically the same as usual. In other words, unless there was something that Driggs had not expected, what would be waiting for him in the Besent Basin would be a highly dangerous monster with at least seventh-level strength.

·

·

A little over ten minutes later, Driggs descended from the Besent Mountains into the Besent Basin.

In the Prison Star World, there is only one basin surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and it is also the basin with the highest altitude in the entire Prison Star World.

However, after entering the Bessant Basin, Driggs noticed something strange: the temperature in this basin was a little too hot, wasn't it?

As far as Driggs knew, because cold air sinks more easily than hot air, the Bessent Basin, located on the Bessent Plateau, was sometimes even colder than the higher reaches of the mountains.

However, what Driggs now experienced was contrary to what he had known; there was even a slight warmth in the Bessant Basin.

——(Could it be that this abnormality is really caused by the bad weather?)

With a skeptical attitude, Driggs continued to move forward cautiously, ready to evacuate at any time.
