Lord Rabbit God, who controls the body of the Dark Rabbit Queen, has no interest in the minutiae of tribal management.
However, when the reconnaissance team volunteered to confirm the route for the tribe, he, the "old man", did not refuse.
Since these minions can take the initiative to find things to do, why shouldn't he, the hands-off boss, do it?
Not long after that, the reconnaissance team brought back news that they had found some traces of the Yak People in the nearby area and suspected that the current whereabouts of the Dark Rabbit Tribe had been exposed.
When the Dark Rabbit Queen heard this report, she immediately became anxious, but the person who was controlling the body now was not her, but Lord Rabbit God.
Lady Rabbit God doesn't take being discovered by external forces seriously at all. From her point of view, why should the "Giant Elephant" worry about being seen by the ants when traveling?
Therefore, the Rabbit God controlled the body of the Dark Rabbit Queen and told her subordinates not to worry or panic, as everything now was within her expectations.
With the confident statement of "Her Majesty the Queen", the originally uneasy reconnaissance team also felt relieved.
They thought that being discovered by external forces was also part of the Queen's plan. As for why the Queen designed it this way, it was not something that ordinary people like them could ask.
In fact, Lord Rabbit God had no plan for this at all.
He now has only one goal, which is to shorten the distance to the werewolf territory of the Farnas Empire as much as possible. As for the ants reported by the reconnaissance team, Lord Rabbit God has plenty of ways to deal with them, whether he does it himself or uses his abilities to capture a few monsters and convert them into "followers".
——(Woohoo~ Almost there, almost there~)
Lord Rabbit God's biggest hope now is to quickly complete the election of the next Dark Rabbit Queen so that he can have another body to live in for a few more decades.
Coming into the world in his true form is also one of the expectations of Lord Rabbit God.
By then, not only can He pour all His negative energy onto the werewolf clan as usual, but if He is lucky, He may even be able to settle all the new and old grudges with the Shadow Rat.
——(Ugh~ Those stinky wolf cubs...)
——(And the despicable Shadow Rat...)
——(You guys are almost within my range~)

Lord Rabbit God's arrogance caused the reconnaissance team's search alert to end prematurely.
Not only the surveillance team of the Plateau Hearthfire Union benefited from this, but also a werewolf girl with white hair and golden eyes.
The werewolf girl has outstanding looks, and she looks smart and cute, especially her big, alluring golden eyes, which will leave an indelible impression on people at first sight.
But as long as you have a little contact with this werewolf girl, you will know that she is actually a little devil in angel's skin.
She is quirky and often does things against the rules, fooling others just for her own happiness.
Such a special werewolf girl also has a special name, Adela, which is the name given to her by her father, the wolf king patriarch.
In order to avoid the punishment for angering her father, Adela fled the werewolf territory alone.
[Note: See chapter 10.69 - The Beginning of the Journey for details.]
Now, in order to atone for her "sins", she wanders around, hoping that she will be lucky enough to "pick up" something good to bring back and appease her father.
As a result, she didn't get the good stuff, but she "found" the Dark Rabbit Clan that the Werewolf Clan had been looking for for decades.
At first, Adela thought she had seen it wrong. How could the hard-to-find Dark Rabbit Clan be discovered so easily by her? But after repeated confirmation, Adela knew that she was really lucky this time.
·
Discovering the traces of the Dark Rabbit Clan was enough for Adela to return home with her head held high.
However, the little devil who loves to stir up trouble never despises a great achievement. She now wants to find out more about where the Dark Rabbit Clan will go next, count the number of people in the Dark Rabbit Clan, and bring back more valuable information to the tribe.
However, danger often lurks in greed.
10.156 - Werewolf Blood Witch
In other places, Adela's long white hair would be very eye-catching.
But here in the snow-covered Besent region, her white hair actually gave her a natural camouflage.
Adela followed the migrating group of the Dark Rabbits from a distance, adhering to the principle of being bold but cautious. She thought to herself, with such a large group of people and such a large scale, aren't they afraid of being discovered at all?
Logically speaking, the Dark Rabbit Clan has a history of successful seclusion for decades and should not take such reckless actions.
Therefore, Adela couldn't help but start to wonder, could the team she discovered be a bait?
Or has he inadvertently fallen into the trap set by the Dark Rabbit Clan, and what he sees now is actually an illusion?
Adela carefully verified various speculations and finally came to a conclusion that she couldn't believe:
·
He had not fallen into a trap, nor had he seen it wrong. The huge group he had discovered was indeed the migrating members of the Dark Rabbit Clan.
·
As for why the Dark Rabbit Clan dared to migrate so openly, Adela had no idea yet.
Now she only needs to bring the information about the size and trends of the Dark Rabbit Clan back to the Werewolf Clan's territory, which will be a great achievement that will go down in history.
So, Adela stopped the tracking investigation, took a detour to pass the Dark Rabbit Clan, and began to head towards the territory of the Werewolf Clan of the Farnes Empire.
However, while the wolf girl was "catching" the rabbit, the mantis was behind her.
Adela, preoccupied with the praises she would receive, neglected her own safety due to her carelessness and completely failed to notice that a dangerous "Snow Mantis" was already staring at her in the midst of the white snow.
·
Snow Mantis, a third-level monster, is the predecessor species of the fifth-level monster Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis.
Unlike the fifth-level monster, the Phantom Snow Mantis, which can fly, the third-level snow mantis also has membrane insect wings, but does not have the ability to fly. In addition, the snow mantis is also smaller in size, "only" about two meters high.
However, in terms of appearance and style, the Snow Mantis and the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis are very similar. They both have silver-white scales covering their bodies, triangular pointed heads, and iconic sickle claws at the ends of their forearms.
The third-level Snow Mantis has three skills, namely:
First-level skill, Ice Scythe, and entry: Flying Scythe;
Second-tier skill, Ice Shell, and entry: Double Armor;
There is also a third-level skill, Wing Dance;
Affected by the previous invasion of the Besent Basin by the Purgatory Demon, most of the monsters in the Besent area have migrated to the outer edges, and this snow mantis is among them.
By chance, the snow mantis set its sights on the white-haired werewolf girl.
It believed that this werewolf girl was stronger than the average human, but still a target that it could hunt.
In order to capture the werewolf girl safely, Snow Mantis has been following her footsteps for a day and a night, waiting patiently for the opportunity to strike.
In addition, the snow mantis continues to use its ice shell throughout the entire process. This trick can not only hide its body shape in the snow, but also cover up its smell.
Finally, after a long period of tracking, the werewolf girl gradually relaxed her vigilance and happened to walk to the snow mantis' favorite hunting terrain: a rugged and complex snow slope.
In this terrain environment suitable for hiding and sneak attacks, the Snow Mantis has successfully completed several hunts.
·
The wind is cold and the snow is falling.
The falling white dots brought a silent noise to the almost still snow-covered slope.
The snow mantis was hiding in it, gradually approaching the werewolf girl who was walking quickly.
As for the Snow Mantis's hunting methods, they are just like its skill set, without any conspiracy or trickery. It focuses on being fast, accurate, ruthless, simple and rough.
After approaching close enough, the Snow Mantis first activated the skill · Ice Scythe, strengthening the sharpness and hardness of the scythe on its forelimbs. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the werewolf girl turned her back to it, it activated the third-level skill · Wing Dance, greatly increasing its own speed and stirring up a vast snow mist around it.
Just looking from a distance, it looked like a whirlwind was blowing on the snow slope, blowing the snow into the air. It was impossible to tell that there was a snow mantis hiding in it.
The light snow that was falling at this time gave the Snow Mantis the "advantage of time", so that the sudden appearance of snow fog would not seem too abrupt.
After the snow fog appeared, the werewolf girl looked back.
Like other prey hunted by the snow mantis, the werewolf girl did not find anything unusual about the snow fog, and soon turned around and continued on her way.
At this point, the Snow Mantis's hunting prerequisites are all complete. In its eyes, the werewolf girl is just a pile of dead meat.
In the snow fog, the snow mantis flapped its wings and continued to accelerate, rushing up at full speed from the werewolf girl's blind spot!
It raised the ice sickle on its front legs high, aiming directly at the back of the werewolf girl's neck, trying to end the hunt with one sickle!
However, if the Snow Mantis could see what skill combination this werewolf girl, who is also at the third level, has, it would most likely not make this wrong hunting move.
Unfortunately, the Snow Mantis does not have such powerful identification skills.
·
In the blink of an eye, the Snow Mantis had already slashed the werewolf girl's neck with the Ice Scythe in a perfect sneak attack.
As long as he continued to chop down with this momentum, the werewolf girl's head would say goodbye to her body.
However, this werewolf girl is different from ordinary prey. Since she mastered a certain third-level skill, she has received "conditioned reflex" training to save her life and successfully engraved this conditioned reflex into her body.
——(Septicemia fake body!)
The moment she felt the severe pain, Adela instinctively used her life-saving skills!
Her body was immediately replaced by a septic clone made of magic power, and as for herself, she was randomly teleported to a place twenty meters away.
The flow of magic power and the activation of skills do not require her brain at all. It can be said that the skills are activated almost at the moment she is hurt!
Although the Snow Mantis noticed that the werewolf girl had used some skills, it did not have time to stop the sickle it had already swung, and still chopped off the head of the septicemic clone.
Immediately, the septicemia fake body exploded immediately, and the violent shock wave shocked the snow mantis so much that it almost vomited gastric juice.
As for the damage, he would naturally take it all, leaving no possibility of avoiding it.
However, the snow mantis always maintained the defense of its icy shell, which basically prevented it from losing much vitality, except that the shell had a lot of cracks.
Snow Mantis calmed down and saw that the werewolf girl's strange skills had not yet ended.
After the septicemic fake body exploded, a large blood mist that continued to cause damage gradually spread out, forcing the Snow Mantis to immediately activate the double armor of the Ice Shell skill to strengthen its defense, and immediately began to look for where the werewolf girl had run off to.
Up to this moment, the snow mantis had not yet realized that from the moment its sneak attack failed, it was no longer hunting, but engaging in a battle of equal strength.
10.157 - Hunter and Hunted
——(Wing Dance!)
The snow mantis used the same trick again, but this time its purpose was not to hide its body, but to increase its speed to the extreme.
When the sneak attack fails and its existence as a "predator" is exposed, it has only one choice, which is to use overwhelming speed and unstoppable attacks to end the life of its prey.
However, just as the Snow Mantis flew out of the blood mist, it was attacked by a long-range attack of unknown origin.
The sound of "shua, shua!" breaking through the air made the Snow Mantis subconsciously change the course of its feet, luckily avoiding the head-on attack.
However, the attacking UFOs did not end there, but continued to chase the snow mantises.
In a panic, the snow mantis failed to dodge, and the sharp hard object hit its shell, making a crisp "clang!" sound, and then was shattered into pieces by the solid ice shell.
Looking at the bloody red crystal fragments on the ground, the Snow Mantis was a little confused.
——(Is this... an arrow made of blood?)
There was no time to think, the blood-red arrow that attacked again forced the Snow Mantis to continue moving. Although this strange arrow did not yet threaten to penetrate the Snow Mantis's icy shell, according to the Snow Mantis' experience, attacks related to blood would most likely carry an ominous curse.
On the snowy slope, the snow mantis dodged left and right, and followed the source of the attack to find the location of the werewolf girl.
Only then did it see that the werewolf girl had already set up a crossbow, and those arrows that seemed to be made of blood were fired from this crossbow.
The snow mantis's eyes met with the werewolf girl's, and it could not see any fear in the eyes of its prey.
As a trickle of blood drifted from the girl's arm into the crossbow, the bloody red arrow appeared again and shot towards the snow mantis, and this time it was five shots in a row!
——(?!)
The Snow Mantis, who had intended to charge forward and engage in close combat, was forced to retreat by the sudden intensified offensive.
At this time, Snow Mantis noticed that among the many flying arrows, there was a blade-shaped blood-red flying knife mixed in at some point. Could this also be the werewolf girl's means of attack?
This is not good, very not good. I must have provoked a tough opponent this time.
From the first-level sickle mantis to today's third-level, the most important lesson the snow mantis has learned is not to risk its life for a bite of food.
So, the Snow Mantis made a prompt decision, retreated while finding the angle, and launched a long-range attack "Ice Scythe·Flying Scythe" at the werewolf girl, hoping that this move could temporarily contain the werewolf girl's offensive, and then immediately turned around and ran away.
