Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

10.137 - Waiting for the Rabbit

"Irritability" is a characteristic that Jiang Ran clearly felt after having come into contact with the "Dark Rabbit Queen Wu Saoqi" twice.

Generally speaking, an old woman of the Dark Rabbit Queen's age should not be so emotional. Now Jiang Ran understood that this "irritability" might not be a personality trait of the Dark Rabbit Queen, but a characteristic of the mastermind who controlled the Dark Rabbit Queen.

However, no matter what the personality traits of the mastermind behind the scenes are, since the other party controls the Dark Rabbit Queen, he should behave in accordance with the identity of the Dark Rabbit Queen.

As the Queen of the Dark Rabbits, why would she kill her own Dark Rabbit girl who came to follow her in the middle of the night? What's going on?

Are you not going to act because you are in the wilderness and snow?

No, that's obviously not the case.

Even if Jiang Ran couldn't read the mind of the Dark Rabbit Queen, the inner thoughts of the Dark Rabbit girl, Junzu, were enough for Jiang Ran to guess a thing or two.

Now, combining the past, present and future, Jiang Ran has basically understood the whole situation.

The suspicion surrounding the Dark Rabbit Queen;

The "Secret of the One and Only Demon God" held by Lord Rabbit God;

The dark rabbit girl, Junzu, who is living away from home;

and the complex web of forces throughout the Besent region;

These originally confusing clues are gradually becoming neater in Jiang Ran's mind.

At 6:45 in the morning, the first golden rays of sunlight shone on the peaks of the Bessent Mountains.

In the shadow of the mountain, on top of a dangerously steep cliff, a girl from the Dark Rabbit clan was walking on a slope of nearly ninety degrees as if it were flat ground.

The girl has long black hair that is as shiny as midnight jade and a pair of black rabbit ears.

The ponytailed hair behind her head swayed from side to side as she moved, which didn't help her maintain her balance at all; it had nothing to do with it.

At this moment, the girl named Junzu was still lost in her confused thoughts.

She didn't know whether she should return to the tribe's retreat to seek support, or move away from the retreat to protect her own safety.

As Feng'er's older sister, Junzu has been influenced by her sister's wisdom to some extent.

She briefly considered returning to her temporary retreat, but when she thought of the monster that looked just like her mother, she put the idea aside.

Junzu's worry was that since the monster could imitate his mother so closely and had unfathomable strength, it would definitely be able to return to the tribe before him.

By that time, it would be impossible for me, a "latecomer", to strike back.

Without absolute proof, who in the tribe would believe my testimony? This was a challenge to the ruler as a "lower class"!

So, Junzu ran all the way, and unknowingly he was already moving with the purpose of finding a hiding place.

——(This place... looks quite safe, maybe I can take a break for a bit...?)

The swift feet came to a crack between the mountains. This dark place where the sunlight could not penetrate was very suitable for hiding.

As a result, she almost lost her soul when she just took one step inside!

In this dark crevice, there was actually someone doing something unknown!

——(Blood boiling…!)

Subconsciously, Junzu was about to activate her skills to defend herself, but she forgot that her vitality was already on the verge of extinction in the battle with the enemy just now.

Therefore, as soon as she activated her skill that required her vitality to be used, she immediately became dizzy due to weakness and almost fell down.

"Don't get so excited, little girl. I'm the one who should be scared."

The person hiding in the crevice spoke, and Junzu could only see clearly at this time that the other person was sitting on the ground and seemed to be eating something.

However, this alone was not enough to make Junfoot let down his guard.

She knew that her life was hanging by a thread and she had to be extremely cautious in order to save her life.

"You...who are you?"

As she spoke, Junzu retreated, trying to hide herself in the shadows, but the positions of both parties at the beginning had already determined that she would be the disadvantaged one in the open.

"My name is Geffex, and I'm a wandering mercenary... Don't worry, if I were an assassin planning to ambush you, I would have done it long ago. Why would I be chatting with you so leisurely?"

Fortunately, the "first comer" in this narrow crack did not seem to be hostile, and what he said did make some sense to Junzu.

Thinking back, Junzu realized that he was the outsider who broke into the other party's "territory". After all, this guy who called himself a wandering mercenary really didn't move a step.

"I'm sorry, I really scared you. I'll leave now."

Gallop Foot bowed his head slightly, apologized, and then backed away, preparing to leave.

At this time, the other party casually threw a bag of something on the ground five or six meters in front of Junzu, and then said: "Take this with you, I see you are about to faint from hunger."

·

Junzu stopped and judged from the soft sound of the package falling to the ground that there should be nothing dangerous in it.

This wandering mercenary who was chewing on coarse bread probably mistook his recent near-fainting appearance for hunger, so he planned to share some of his food with himself.

——(It's understandable that one would think so in the Besent Mountains...)

——(But, sharing food with a stranger he just met, isn't this guy too kind...?)

Gallopfoot hesitated.

She really needs food now to replenish her strength and restore her vitality, but it is safer for her to find a way to hunt some snow rabbits, snow foxes, etc. to eat than to eat food given by strangers.

"Thank you, I have my own."

Leaving these words behind, Junzu retreated and left the narrow crack between the mountains.

·

Where can I get something to eat so early in the morning?

Junzu walked and observed on the ridge of the snowy mountain, hoping to be lucky enough to find some footprints of small animals.

As she walked, she gradually realized that something was wrong with her body. A feeling of impending collapse was gradually eroding her body.

——(Damn it… the injuries are more serious than I expected…)

—(Hmm… If I had known this would happen, I should have accepted the mercenary’s food…)

Junzu fell to one knee. She knew why she was feeling this way... She could feel her strength being completely drained away, and she was about to faint...

——(Please… don’t let any carnivorous creatures… or monsters… pass by… before I wake up…)

Before he could finish his prayer to the gods, Gallopfoot fell unconscious on the snow.

Not long after she arrived, a man came here.

(Stupid Loli: Humph, you are old, Jiang Yan, you actually have to "take action" to make up for your lack of words.)

(Jiang Ran: Let me teach you a famous quote from a great man throughout history: It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.)

10.138 - The Kind Mercenary

According to the original plan, Jiang Ran, who changed into the vest of the wandering mercenary Geffex, should have gained the trust of the dark rabbit girl Junzu in the narrow crack.

However, this seemingly unintelligent girl is actually quite cautious, which doesn't match her innocent appearance.

Jiang Ran talked until his mouth was dry, but he still couldn't get Junzu to take the "food" he had prepared in advance. He had no choice but to use the magical "True Soul Blade Katana: Soul Severance" to cut into Junzu's already dwindling stamina, causing her to faint without being hurt.

As for why Junzu was completely unaware that she was being attacked, it was simply because the gap in strength between her and Jiang Ran was too huge.

·

When the bird swoops by, the little snail only feels a gust of wind.

·

Now, no matter what the process was, the result had become what Jiang Ran wanted.

He picked up the dark rabbit girl, returned to the crack and slit, and bandaged her wound.

The Dark Rabbit girl had two serious injuries, one on her side abdomen and one on her shoulder.

The stab wound in the side of the abdomen was small, but deep, damaging the internal organs and still causing the loss of vitality;

The shoulder injury is the opposite. Although the entire shoulder is shattered and the right arm is gone, that's it. It won't get any worse.

(Stupid Loli: Really tenacious... This kid, most people wouldn't be able to hold on this long.)

(Jiang Ran: Yes, when people work for others, they can actually unleash a stronger will.)

It was very rare that the silly loli did not argue with Jiang Ran.

After sighing a few words, Jiang Ran left the crack and went outside to keep watch.

The purpose of his doing this was not only to ensure safety, but also to have another purpose in mind - that is to let the dark rabbit girl, Junzu, let down her guard.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, the dark rabbit girl, Junzu, slowly woke up from her drowsiness.

This feeling of being heavy and unable to move is like accidentally taking a long nap in the afternoon. Not only do I not feel relaxed, but I feel even more tired.

——(Where am I…?)

Looking at the dim environment around him, Junzu didn't react for a moment.

She only remembered that she was lying on the snow when she fainted, and she was praying not to be eaten or something...

"Wait, isn't this the rift where people are hiding? Why am I back here again?"

After seeing clearly where he was, Junzu suddenly woke up.

Her instinctive sense of vigilance made her stand up immediately, but her weak body would not allow her to do so. Immediately, a strong pain and dizziness exploded in her head, and she almost fell down in a second.

Fortunately, the place where Junzu stood up was right at the edge of the rock wall. She immediately held onto the rock wall and did not fall again.

While stabilizing herself, Junzu immediately began to confirm the situation in the narrow crack. The first thing she wanted to find was where the wandering mercenary was.

I should have fallen in the snow, and there is no way I would come to this crevice for no reason... What does that wandering mercenary want to do to me?

·

Junzu looked around cautiously, and then discovered with some surprise that there was no one in the crack except himself.

——(Where did that guy go?)

Although the situation had not changed in essence, being alone made Junzu relax a lot.

After she relaxed, she noticed that there was food where she had been lying just now, two pieces of coarse bread and a bag of something similar to a water bag.

Junzu's stomach immediately started to growl, but no matter how hungry he was, Junzu's first reaction was that this was a trap.

——(But… I’ve already passed out. If you want to murder me, is it necessary to make it so complicated?)

It’s not that Junzu couldn’t resist the temptation of food, but it’s somewhat unreasonable to try to explain the current situation through conspiracy theories.

To be on the safe side, Junzu searched the crevice inside and out. After making sure there was nothing suspicious, she took a small bite of a piece of coarse bread.

Then comes the second bite, the third bite...

After a while, the two pieces of bread had melted into one in Junzu's stomach, and the water in the water bag was sucked in by her like a storm.

This little bit of food is not enough to fill him up, but for Junzu, it is a life-saving supply.

Now that my strength has recovered and my mood has eased, what should I do next?

Junzu touched his empty right shoulder, and his heart felt empty as well, not knowing what to do.

——(Never mind, let’s go out and take a look.)

Thinking is not Junzu's specialty, taking steps is what she is used to doing.

As a result, just as Junzu stood up and took a few steps, the wandering mercenary came back.

This time, it was Galloping Foot in the dark and the Wandering Mercenary in the light.

"Ah, you're awake. I left some food for you. Have you eaten it?"
