Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Jiang Ran's nonchalant question immediately suffocated the stupid loli.

A simple truth: since Nassar has been chasing Emilia for so long and still hasn't caught up with her, the possibility of suddenly catching up with her in the next few days is very small... unless something special happens.

And now that Jiang Ran is watching over Sunny Town, he will not allow such a special incident to happen.

When it comes to love, as long as you are not together, there is no such thing as first come first served.

·

When it was time to get off work, Jiang Ran went downstairs early and wandered around the door of the Task Union.

He saw Nassar come to the front desk and invite Emilia to have dinner together, but Emilia politely declined.

(Benny: Well done! Beautiful rejection!)

Nassar was a nice guy. He didn't get angry after being rejected. He still smiled and said that they would have dinner together next time Emilia was free.

However, Jiang Ran stared at Nassar for a while and seemed to have discovered something interesting.

Afterwards, Emilia left the Quest Guild alone.

When she walked out of the union door, she looked up in the direction of the hotel and noticed that there were more little foxes on the hotel's outer wall - and this small detail was naturally noticed by Jiang Ran.

Unfortunately, Emilia's inner thoughts were too few, and Jiang Ran was unable to capture any of her feelings.

·

While having dinner at the Cat Girl Restaurant in the evening, Jiang Ran took the initiative to talk to everyone in the Xunyou Caravan about what had happened in the past few days.

He learned from Mr. Malik that after they were forced to separate in the canyon due to a landslide that day, the caravan went around the Shadou Mountains and rushed to the south exit of the canyon, hoping to meet him there.

What Malik and his friends didn't expect was that the southern exit of the canyon also collapsed, which prevented them from waiting for Banning to come out.

Later, the caravan arrived at Ella Village and unexpectedly heard from the village chief that Banning had been to Ella Village and cured Grandma Kana's illness. He had already set off for Sunny Town a few days ago.

Everyone was overjoyed, so they hurried back to Sunny Town to find Banning. This wasted time, so they arrived in Sunny Town later than Banning.

Jiang Ran was not interested in the above contents at all, but he deliberately talked about them in order to use mind reading and the "trickster" to "cheat" information out of Grandma Cassie.

And he really cheated.

——(We have to find a way to get Banning to continue traveling with the caravan...otherwise, there's no way to report his location every day...)

——(Really, why wouldn't the 'Earth Devil' reveal information about the 'other observer'... wouldn't it be easier if the two of them worked together...)

——(But the 'Earth Ghost' is really strange... The one who killed Svalerock must be the eldest daughter of the Scarlet Qi family. What is she doing by targeting this young man Banning?)

4.20 - The Beast Lurking in the Dark (Update)

After seeing Grandma Cathy's inner thoughts, Jiang Ran gained a better understanding of his own situation.

He believed that in the worst case scenario, the "unknown enemy" had already known his identity as a time traveler.

Grandma Cassie is the enemy's spy, specifically responsible for keeping an eye on herself.

The reason why the enemy didn't let Grandma Cassie take action directly was probably because they had to do it themselves for some purpose.

At present, the "unknown enemy" is unable to kill in person for some reason, but sooner or later, the monster that released the pillar of fire in Ella Village will appear again.

Jiang Ran is not afraid of being targeted by the enemy, but he is afraid of not knowing who the enemy is.

Since it is already known that Grandma Cassie is the enemy's spy and his ability to read minds has not been exposed, Jiang Ran can actually use Grandma Cassie in turn and let her provide false information to the enemy without knowing it.

However, there is now a new problem, that is, there is actually "another observer", and even Grandma Cassie doesn't know the identity of this observer.

If Jiang Ran wanted to get information about the "other observer", the best way would be to read the mind of the "Earth Ghost", but this was obviously unrealistic.

Grandma Cassie is a level 67 mercenary venerable, a third-tier profession, and has experienced two trials. How terrifying will the strength of the "Earth Ghost" be if even such a strong man is willing to serve her?

Jiang Ran couldn't imagine it.

Therefore, if you want to monitor and track the "Earth Ghost", it is undoubtedly equivalent to seeking death.

After all considerations, Jiang Ran only had one option left, which was to find the "other observer" in Sunny Town himself.

·

After dinner, Jiang Ran took Tochini to the market to buy some food, and then went to the residential area where the subhumans gathered to help the poor.

This slum is where Emilia had been before.

With Tochini by their side, these wary demihumans somewhat let down their guard against Jiang Ran.

Then, after Jiang Ran's superb performance, the demi-humans and even their children began to trust Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran looked at the basic information of these subhumans. They had neither production and manufacturing professions nor combat professions. No wonder they had fallen to this point.

But on the other hand, because they are excluded by humans, they have no job opportunities, which creates this vicious cycle.

(If I want to truly help them, I really need someone like Branch Manager Orge... I'll find time to talk to him.)

Jiang Ran's purpose tonight was to make himself familiar to everyone. After achieving his goal, he left with Tochini.

As they were walking, they suddenly smelled a foul odor. Jiang Ran looked in the direction and found a mountain of garbage on the edge of the slum. All the garbage in Sunny Town had been transported here.

It may be okay during the day, but at night, when a large amount of the day's garbage is dumped here, the pungent smell will spread far away.

"Wow...it stinks...it stinks...brother, let's go!"

"Tokini, you go ahead. I'll go take a look and come back to you right away."

The reason why Jiang Ran endured the stench and went to the garbage dump to check was because he seemed to see something alive running in the shadows.

But when he got closer, the creature immediately ran away, leaving Jiang Ran with only a blurry silhouette.

Jiang Ran didn't chase after him. He squatted down to identify the footprints on the ground, then frowned slightly.

·

·

Late at night, after Tochini fell into a deep sleep, Jiang Ran rode alone to the outskirts of Sunny Town.

Based on his nighttime discoveries near the slums, he believed there was a good chance there was something else beyond the town's fences.

If left unchecked, the consequences will be several times more serious than the tree spirits in the Sangbei Wasteland.

But Jiang Ran was not so kind. The reason he cared about this matter was actually to conquer Emilia.

As time passed, dark clouds obscured the moon, and over the fields, there was only darkness and the occasional chirping of insects.

Jiang Ran rode his horse slowly forward. In the intervals between the sound of horse hooves, he could vaguely hear some rustling sounds. This "squeaking" sound could only make him think of an animal.

(Benny: Mom… Mom… Mom… I… I… I have something to do, so I have to excuse myself first!!!)

The thing that Silly Loli is worst at is this kind of eerie and scary atmosphere. She was so scared that she gave up the VIP viewing seat and closed her eyes to avoid Jiang Ran's sight.

Jiang Ran was actually a little nervous as well. He was ready to retreat at any time before the operation began.

The purpose of his impromptu operation tonight was only for reconnaissance, and he would never take direct action.

·

A hint of rotten smell quietly mixed into the air, which should have been fresh.

Then, as Jiang Ran moved forward, the foul smell became stronger.

In the darkness, Jiang Ran could vaguely see some "red spots of light" flashing and moving.

(Can't get any closer.)

Jiang Ran knew clearly that by the time these guys started attacking, it would be too late.

He marked the location on the map and retreated to Sunny Town for the time being.

The next day, Jiang Ran did not follow or monitor Emilia anymore. Instead, he went out early in the morning to buy a large number of oil drums and haystacks. He also bought a new quiver, increasing the number of arrows he carried with him to 80.

Afterwards, he bought some fresh food and headed to the ghetto again.

After the good impression last night, even though Jiang Ran was alone today, the demihumans welcomed his arrival.

"Thank you, young man. There's a kind girl named Emilia coming over this afternoon. Would you like to meet her?"

"Yes, that's right! Sister Emilia works at the Quest Guild! She can help you find quests!"

The demi-humans accepted Jiang Ran's kindness and wanted to do what they could to repay him.

Jiang Ran smiled and expressed his gratitude, replied that he would come again at noon, and then left.

However, Jiang Ran didn't actually go far. He came to the garbage mountain alone.

Under the bright sunshine, this garbage mountain more than ten meters high looks like a three or four-story black tower, which is really spectacular.

Where the "tower" met the ground, Jiang Ran could already see three hidden entrances to underground caves.

(During the day, he rarely comes out.)

Jiang Ran tied a piece of cloth, covered his mouth and nose, and then came to a location near the garbage mountain.

On the ground, he saw a large number of footprints, and the identification information of these footprints all showed: "Footprints of carrion-eating black rats", which was consistent with the clues Jiang Ran found last night.

Then, Jiang Ran continued to move forward carefully. He found a dark shadow moving on the garbage mountain. He immediately activated the "Heart of Concentration" and shot an arrow. The arrow hit the target with a "pop" sound, and then a dark, hairy corpse rolled to the ground.

4.21 - Battle of Trash Hill

Jiang Ran carefully examined the "big rat". It was obvious that this rat, which was the same size as a rabbit, could not be an ordinary creature, and its status information also exposed the fact that it was a monster.

(It seems the rat has mutated into a monster... This is really troublesome.)

Last night, when Jiang Ran and Tokini were about to leave the slums, it was the footprints of the carrion-eating black rat that made him stop and leave behind them.

Afterwards, Jiang Ran confirmed the map of Sunny Town and found that the slum was located on the eastern edge of Sunny Town, only a stone's throw away from the Sunny Forest.

It is well known that mice are good at digging holes and prefer dark places.

Jiang Ran immediately suspected that the carrion-eating black rats had formed a population and had dug a tunnel near the garbage mountain leading to the Sunny Forest in the suburbs.

It was for this reason that Jiang Ran rode his horse to the outskirts of Sunny Town in the middle of the night, just to verify whether his guess was correct.

Unfortunately, his guess was correct.

The garbage mountain has become a granary for carrion rats, and the Sunny Forest is their nest.

Jiang Ran visited the garbage mountain again this time with the purpose of killing as many carrion-eating black rats as possible here, and then blocking the tunnel leading out of the city, so that the carrion-eating black rats in the Sunny Forest could not enter the town.

Don't underestimate the threat posed by a single carrion rat, as it may seem like it poses the same threat as a dog. Given the rat's terrifying reproductive capacity, a fully grown population of carrion rats could potentially destroy the entire town of Sunny.

·

Jiang Ran spent more than ten minutes thoroughly checking the outside of the garbage mountain and shot a total of seven black rats of different sizes.
