Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Taking advantage of the fact that the two guards nearby were unaware of the situation, Jiang Ran controlled the little dragonfly to fly back and forth at high speed at the entrance of the cave, causing the Dark Rabbit clan's magic detection device to detect magic at times and then fail to detect it, changing its state back and forth as if it had malfunctioned.

Then, after completing ten back and forth flights, Jiang Ran broke away from the little dragonfly's shadow directly at the cave entrance, and disappeared without a trace in one breath using the "Shadow Escape Step" plus the "Double Shadow Escape Step", leaving only the little dragonfly still hovering and flying at the cave entrance.

Not long after, the guards from the Dark Rabbit Clan came quietly. They wanted to confirm what happened at the entrance of the cave and why the magic detection device pointing here was sounding alarms like crazy?

In the end, the only "abnormality" they could find was an ordinary dragonfly and some other commonly seen small insects.

No matter how they tested the magic power of these bugs, they could only conclude that there was nothing abnormal about them.

Could it be that the magic detection device really has malfunctioned?

Faced with such a strange situation, the Dark Rabbit guards really didn't know how to report to their superiors.

Fortunately, the Dark Rabbit Queen is not in the cave now, which gives them some time to catch their breath.

"In my opinion, the magic detection device must be malfunctioning. As long as it's magical equipment, there will be no malfunctions. Isn't that right?"

"Ah, yes, yes, I think so too."

"Yes, yes, I feel the same way."

"Me too!"

In this way, this matter, which should have been taken seriously, eventually turned from a big thing to a small thing and from a small thing to nothing.

However, this does not mean that Jiang Ran can sit back and relax, because no matter how things develop this time, he will eventually have to face the fate of fighting with the "Lord Rabbit God", or in other words, with the "Moon Shadow Mad Mark·Beast Rabbit King".

Jiang Ran didn't actually run far. He just changed his "mount" and then circled back to the entrance. He quietly confirmed the outcome of the matter and finally left with peace of mind.

Now, it is no longer possible to risk entering the Dark Rabbit Clan’s temporary retreat, and Jiang Ran needs to reconsider his next plan of action.

Compared to yesterday, Jiang Ran now has the "Lava Magic Stone Essence" as a bargaining chip. He can use it himself or use it to make a deal with others.

According to the intelligence analysis at Jiang Ran's disposal, the two main forces that want the Lava Magic Stone Essence in the Besent area are the Dark Rabbit Queen and the Plateau Hearthfire Guild.

The Plateau Hearthfire Guild is a good trading partner, but Jiang Ran still doesn't know if they have anything good worth exchanging;

Although the Dark Rabbit Queen is Jiang Ran's enemy in the future of death, it does not mean that they cannot make peace with each other in Jiang Ran's current fate.

In negotiations where interests are everything, as long as both parties can reach an agreement, a deal can be made regardless of their positions or whether there is an irreconcilable blood feud.

Now, if Jiang Ran wants to find and understand his trading partner, the best way is to return to the crime scene and observe secretly.

If he was lucky, he might even be able to see the fight between the Dark Rabbit Queen and the Plateau Hearthfire Guild. In that case, Jiang Ran would make a lot of money.

·

At the same time, the "Special Being" who had chosen to give up had already fallen asleep, and the Dark Rabbit Queen, Wusuoqi, who was controlling her own body, was on her way back to her temporary retreat.

Wu Suoqi was only thinking about deciding on the next Dark Rabbit Queen as soon as possible. This was her most important task at the moment.

Only after the candidate is determined and the preparations for the coronation ceremony are completed, can the "true body" of the "Special Existence-sama" be revealed on the "Day of the Black Moon" to avenge the Dark Rabbit Clan on those bastards.

As luck would have it, Wu Suoqi "met" Jiang Ran halfway.

The reason why the word "encounter" is put in quotation marks is because the distance between them when they met closest was still five or six hundred meters.

However, for the "Special Being", a distance of five or six hundred meters is close enough.

Even though He was sleeping, He could still "smell" the stench of the "Shadow Rat".

Without further ado, the 'Special Being' took control of the body and flew towards the source of the 'Shadow Rat' stench.

At the same time, Jiang Ran immediately saw a rapidly approaching red dot on the map in his mind. This time was different from just now in the cave. The enemy was clearly rushing towards him!

·

(Damn, who could spot me from such a distance?!)

Jiang Ran was quite surprised. Even after he left the temporary retreat of the Dark Rabbit Clan, he did not forget to continue controlling insects and small animals to serve as his mount.

However, even though he had been so careful and secretive, he still couldn't escape being discovered.

(Who on earth is that person who spotted me from 500 to 600 meters away?!)

Jiang Ran immediately adjusted his route, hoping to get rid of the other party, but the other party was like having radar, and caught up with him easily, and then blocked Jiang Ran's way very forcefully.

"Unless you want to die in the shadows, get out of here, Shadow Rat."

Standing in front of Jiang Ran was the Dark Rabbit Queen Wu Suoqi whom he was just looking for...!

·

Suddenly seeing the Dark Rabbit Queen was enough to surprise Jiang Ran, but what surprised him even more was that the Dark Rabbit Queen was able to find him hiding in the shadows.

(Died in the shadows…? She has the means to harm me in the shadows?)

To be honest, Jiang Ran is not really threatened by the Dark Rabbit Queen, Wu Suoqi.

Although there was no way to use mind reading to confirm the other party's mental activities, Jiang Ran knew that the shadow could almost be said to be another spatial dimension. So far, he had not encountered anyone who could directly interfere with it.

However, if we rely too much on past events, we may easily make the mistake of historical empiricism.

Since the other party can discover me hiding in the shadow, does that mean that the other party has the ability to directly interfere with the space inside the shadow?

(Hashrate Improvement and Overclocking)

Jiang Ran used all his brain power and decided to take this opportunity to "get to know" the Dark Rabbit Queen better.

10.118 - All's fair in war

"Good afternoon, Lady Wusuoqi, the Dark Rabbit Queen. Why are you so angry in broad daylight?"

Taking the "risk" of being killed instantly, Jiang Ran emerged from the shadows with confidence.

At this moment, he was dressed as the wandering mercenary Geffex with half of his face covered.

As everyone knows, Jiang Ran has always been extremely cautious. Given his personality, he chose to confront the enemy head-on when he could clearly escape, which means that there is actually not much risk - at least in his opinion.

·

Under the autumn sky, above the Besent Mountains, Jiang Ran chose to show up at this time for two main reasons.

The first reason was that the Dark Rabbit Queen had the opportunity to take direct action, but she gave up the chance to strike first and only uttered a harsh word. This meant that Jiang Ran's life was valuable to the Dark Rabbit Queen and there was room for maneuver.

The second reason was that Jiang Ran used his identification ability to see that the Dark Rabbit Queen was "only" level 350, level , the same as "Purgatory Demon Hephaestus".

Facing such an opponent, Jiang Ran didn't dare to boast that he would definitely win, but he still had the confidence to escape.

In addition to the two reasons mentioned above, another thing that Jiang Ran was concerned about was the "abnormal status" in the Dark Rabbit Queen's identification information.

Jiang Ran saw clearly that the Dark Rabbit Queen was now in an abnormal state of "soul control". Although he did not know the specific effect of the "soul state" for the time being, judging from the Dark Rabbit Queen's zombie-like demeanor, it should not be a good effect.

So, could this abnormal state be related to the fact that the Dark Rabbit Queen is now alone here?

This is where Jiang Ran needs to find a way to use his words to pry open the door.

When mind reading doesn't work, Jiang Ran's true ability comes into play.

·

"Oh? Humans? Since when did humans start becoming shadow rats like the ratmen?"

The Dark Rabbit Queen sounded slightly surprised when she saw Jiang Ran show up, which made Jiang Ran certain of one thing: the Dark Rabbit Queen could only sense that someone was lurking in the shadows at best, and could not obtain any more information.

In addition, the term "ratman" immediately reminded Jiang Ran of Zhao Ye Liuque's ratman grandfather: Gui Yu.

From the perspective of a first-order profession, Jiang Ran and Grandpa Guiyu can be considered to be from the same "combat profession".

Now, according to the Dark Rabbit Queen, it is not accidental that Grandpa Weird Whisper awakens as a "primary assassin", but a kind of inevitability.

"You mean to find the Rat People, right, Lady Dark Rabbit Queen? In that case, I'll take my leave..."

Following the words of the Dark Rabbit Queen, Jiang Ran started to play tricks.

He knew very well that such a trick would not work, but his purpose was not the content of the words, but to relax the atmosphere of the conversation between the two parties.

"You want to leave? Sure, just leave your life behind."

The Dark Rabbit Queen flipped her wrist and sharp claws extended from her fingers.

Her words made Jiang Ran feel as if the tips of her claws were already on her neck.

It's okay, it's not a big problem. As long as there's no fighting, the atmosphere of the conversation is still within the "relaxed" range.

"Um, then...may I ask how I can serve Her Majesty the Dark Rabbit Queen?"

Jiang Ran grovelled and continued to play coward.

According to the psychological theory of dramaturgy proposed by sociologist Erving Goffman, the more advantageous a person is, the more likely he or she is to reveal information about himself or herself, while when a person is in a state of vigilance, he or she is more inclined to hide information about himself or herself.

From the Queen's tone, expression, and the content of her words, it was not difficult to tell that she did not take Jiang Ran seriously at all.

That arrogant attitude is not pretended, but comes from the heart.

What Jiang Ran is waiting for now is for the Dark Rabbit Queen to reveal her true purpose.

"Haha, stop pretending to be good. Do you think I don't know that you've sneaked into our cave?"

As soon as the Dark Rabbit Queen said this, Jiang Ran immediately understood why he was stopped. It seemed that the one who asked the guards to install additional magic detection devices was indeed the Dark Rabbit Queen, Wu Saoqi.

After knowing the reason why the Dark Rabbit Queen was looking for trouble with him, Jiang Ran knew how to deal with it.

"Hmmmm... Sorry! Queen Dark Rabbit, I just snuck in on a whim. I, we didn't know it was your territory!"

Jiang Ran pretended to be frightened and knelt on the ground trembling.

This act of pretending to be timid made the "truth" in his words, which seemed to be spoken carelessly, seem extremely credible.

"Hmm? 'We'? Who else infiltrated with you?"

Sure enough, the elderly Dark Rabbit Queen lived up to Jiang Ran's expectations and keenly captured the key information in the words.

Jiang Ran cooperated at this time by covering his mouth, pretending that he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag, then sat down on the ground and took two steps back. His panic was evident in his expression.

"My Lord, you must have heard me wrong. I was talking about me, only me, me alone..."

"Stop pretending! I don't have much patience. Tell me now!"

The Dark Rabbit Queen roared and casually swung a "claw slash" at Jiang Ran on the ground!

Jiang Ran quickly rolled to the side in a panic, avoiding the dangerous attack by "only" a hair's breadth!

·

Of course, he acted all of this out.

·

Afterwards, Jiang Ran continued to be stubborn until the Dark Rabbit Queen lost her patience and wanted to kill him. Only then did he "betray" his companions.

He told the Dark Rabbit Queen that he was actually a member of the Plateau Hearthfire Guild. Because the organization had discovered traces of the Dark Rabbit clan's activities in the Besent Basin, he asked his "Shadow Squad" to come and investigate.

"We have no hostility, Queen Dark Rabbit. We are just a bunch of blacksmiths!"

Having said that, Jiang Ran's layout has been completed.

The old trick of diverting trouble to others has become easy for him.

At this time, Jiang Ran noticed that the Dark Rabbit Queen's blinking frequency began to increase, and the fingers hanging by her waist were tapping her thighs rhythmically... These micro-movements showed that the Dark Rabbit Queen did not accept his own fabrications completely, but was thinking about the authenticity of these words.

In this case, Jiang Ran couldn't continue speaking.

When language has no facts to base it on, the more you speak, the more mistakes you make.

"Haha, blacksmith... Then tell me, which department of the Plateau Hearthfire Guild does your 'Shadow Squad' belong to? And what's the name of the guy who manages you?"

The Dark Rabbit Queen's series of questions revealed her suspicion of Jiang Ran's identity.

Jiang Ran no longer "fought" with her. Taking advantage of the moment when the Dark Rabbit Queen was concentrating on asking questions, he threw a modified version of the smoke bomb on the spot...!

10.119 - Fight or Escape

The "special existence" whose true identity is "Moon Shadow Mad Scar·Beast Rabbit King", also known as "Rabbit God" by the rabbit people.

For a long time, the Rabbit God has been "protecting" the Rabbit People until the Dark Rabbit Clan appeared.

When the Dark Rabbits were expelled from the Bunnymen, the Rabbit God left with them. This departure was silent, and only the Dark Rabbit Queen, who was possessed by the Rabbit God at the time, knew what happened.

To this day, with the succession of Dark Rabbit Queens, Lord Rabbit God has possessed countless Dark Rabbit Queens.
