Diary of the Improper Monster Girl Transformation.

Chapter 232 Monster Hunting! (Additional Updates 69 70)
"My Lord! Are you really going to go alone?"

Sophia looked at Herbert who was stubborn and worried, and couldn't help but persuade him again.

"Please wait a moment! I won't hold you back. Please allow me to go with you!"

The Centaur girl was a little overwhelmed.

Just now, Herbert suddenly and without warning announced that he was going out alone.

He looks so relaxed, as if he is an old man taking a stroll outside with his hands behind his back.

But it's very dangerous outside!

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"But...ah."

Sophia snorted softly and stared at Herbert's hand with resentment.

Herbert shrugged easily and patted her butt again under Sophia's gaze, completely ignoring her warning.

"Okay, no need to persuade me anymore."

In Herbert's opinion, such obstruction is really meaningless.

Before Sophia arrived, he had always been able to travel freely in the Misty Mountains.

Well, although this statement is a bit exaggerated, he is more relying on the legendary pressure of the hungry dragon and the mermaid to bully others.

But even without their help, Herbert was confident that he could navigate the outskirts of the Misty Mountains.

Finally, although Sophia gave way, she still asked unwillingly, "My Lord, Lady Freme won't stop you?"

"I've already told her everything, so you don't have to think about snitching on her."

As Herbert passed the Centaur, he raised his hand and patted her shoulder, then motioned for her to lower her head.

"Ok?"

Sophia blinked her eyes, lowered her head obediently, and then Herbert gently pinched her nose.

"Well--"

She subconsciously wanted to look up, but immediately realized that she couldn't do that. She could only bend over and let Herbert pinch her nose and shake it left and right.

Herbert admired her embarrassed appearance, chuckled and let go of her fingers: "Find out your own identity, ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask, understand?"

"Hmm! Yeah - I see." Miss Centaur covered her nose and rubbed it, then lowered her head obediently.

I looked back and was disappointed that I didn't see Miss Mermaid.

Freme did not come out to see him off. She was now exploring the underwater temple, hoping to find some resources therein.

Fortunately, with Nenasha's assurance, Herbert was sure that the underwater temple was not in any danger, so he let her find something to do.

As for Steven…this guy took a big hit yesterday.

After a night of thinking, he finally accepted the current situation and became much calmer. At this moment, he was sitting quietly in front of the wooden stake with blood wings engraved on it, lost in thought.

In such a huge territory, Sophia is the only loyal minister willing to see me off!

A loyal and good general.

The pillar of the country.

Herbert, feeling emotional, waved at Sophia again.

"come here."

This time, Sophia's reaction was obviously much more intense than before, and she trembled violently.

Um! ?

She hesitated visibly, sniffed, then bent over and came hesitantly in front of Herbert.

Then he took the initiative to stretch out his tall nose in front of him.

Well——

He half-closed his eyes nervously, looking uneasy and ready to be ravaged by you.

"hehe."

Herbert was amused by her behavior, shook his head, and instead of pinching her nose, he gently pinched her cheek.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You should also go and prepare to welcome the guests."

"……Yes."

Sophia touched her cheek which had just been pinched in a daze, feeling a little bewildered and a little beating in her heart.

She watched Herbert's figure disappear in the mist, slowly lowered her head, and then raised it with high morale.

For some reason, her morale improved several degrees, and she strode out of the mountains with her head held high.

This time Herbert was not as impulsive as Sophia thought.

On the contrary, he had actually wanted to do this for a long time.

Herbert didn't want to hide under the shadow of others all the time, and he always hoped to have a chance to train himself to the fullest.

Now, the biggest danger in this area has been eliminated. Although the remaining monsters can cause certain difficulties to Herbert, they cannot threaten his life.

A very suitable trial difficulty.

Herbert did not draw his sword. He walked leisurely in the mist as if he was taking a stroll in the woods, humming the melody he had heard from the mermaid lady.

"Humph~"

The fog that could easily devour the life of others posed no obstacle to him, but instead became a barrier protecting his figure.

He headed towards the misty ghost wolf that had left a mark last time, ready to try again and use the old method to find the main force of the ghost wolves.

Just like that, a vague figure flashed in the quiet mist, accompanied by a faint humming.

"Huh~huh~"

If the scene were changed, such a figure and singing might make people feel relaxed and happy, and secretly develop admiration for them.

However, in this deserted mountain range shrouded in mist, such a sound suddenly came out... hehe.

This situation can't help but make one's hair stand on end.

But Herbert didn't care what others thought.

As his mood improved, he walked more happily and hummed louder and louder.

"Huh~huh~huh~"

"Hehehe! Ha! Yeah! Hehehe~"

……

Just as Herbert was wandering leisurely in the fog, preparing to find the base camp of the Misty Ghost Wolf.

At the same time, another group of people were cautiously advancing deeper into the fog.

This is a five-man team consisting of a paladin, two monks and two nuns.

Moreover, the strength of these five people has all reached a high level!
However, even with such strength, their current appearance is definitely not relaxed, but rather completely embarrassed.

Although their movements were very light, they were fleeing in a panic.

"My Lord, how could we be so unlucky!"

The tall monk in the team pushed away the fallen tree in front of him while complaining in a low voice.

"If you had listened to me and went back directly after killing the cow, we wouldn't have had so much trouble, Zar, don't you think?"

The shorter monk Zar next to him shook his head silently, signaling him not to speak anymore.

The thin monk Zar had two circles of black cloth wrapped around his mouth, sealing it tightly.

Silent Zen, a form of practice for monks.

The tall and complaining monk looked a little fat, but actually every movement he made contained enormous physical energy.

The monk's training method is similar to that of the paladin. He makes great aspirations in order to obtain the blessing of "Heaven's Way".

Two monks led the way, followed by two slender and petite twin nuns.

The two of them were like two twins blossoming from the same holy flower, with exactly the same appearance.

They pressed the scriptures to their chests in unison, chanting in low voices as they walked, performing a ritual that continuously buffed their teammates.

Unlike other sisters of the Punishment Order, they do not have the ability to directly participate in combat.

But their existence is like an invisible source of power in the team. They are proficient in everything, whether it is adding shields or increasing attack speed and strength.

Their magic can always make their teammates more powerful in battle!
Walking at the end of the team and responsible for holding the line and covering the rear was a paladin who looked a little weak.

He walked at the end of the team, like a silent mountain, using his broad back to protect his teammates from possible dangers coming from behind.

The armor he wore emitted a faint reddish glow in the mist, and in his hand he held a strangely shaped dagger.

Or maybe, it shouldn't be called a dagger.

It was more like a product of a long sword that failed to melt and solidify during the remelting process. "Faol, are you okay?"

One of the nuns turned around and looked at Fao with some concern, and said softly: "In your physical condition, you shouldn't have participated in this 'Monster Hunt'."

Fao shook his head slightly and said slowly: "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with my body."

Monster hunting can be said to be the most lively event in the boring Misty Monastery every month.

No matter who they are, everyone will be eager to seek an opportunity to meet the archbishop.

Logically speaking, a team like theirs shouldn't invite a guy like Fao who is quite capable but doesn't look like he has had enough rest.

But in the end, they chose to agree after Fao's repeated requests.

And Fao’s previous performance did not disappoint them. The team worked together and relied on their unfamiliar tacit understanding to successfully kill three high-level monsters!

This is not an easy task. Every high-level monster, especially those in the Misty Mountains, has special powers, enough to easily destroy an ordinary adventure team.

Prior to this, the highest record in monster hunting history was five high-level monsters.

If they could kill two more, they would tie the best record of their predecessors.

If they are a little luckier, they will make new history!
Unfortunately, perhaps it is because things do not go as planned, and fate always likes to catch people off guard when they are most proud of themselves.

Just as they were confidently looking for their next prey, an accident happened.

They did encounter the fourth high-level monster, the Mist Lizard, and came to the location shown on the map.

However, they were a step too late.

The monitor lizard has been caught by someone!
A high-level mist ghost wolf actually broke into the monitor lizard's territory and killed it in a lose-lose situation!

The monitor lizard died and the ghost wolf was seriously injured!
This seemed like a good time to catch them all in one fell swoop, and it would be easy to obtain proof of two high-level monsters.

With these two certificates, these people will make new history and get the opportunity to meet with the Archbishop!
But just as others were ecstatic, Fao noticed something was wrong.

It is a very unusual sign that monsters leave their own territory and fight with other monsters.

Fao immediately remembered the warning he had heard from others before.

The forest is restless!

It was at that moment that Fao did not act rashly, but instead ordered his teammates to retreat quickly.

And soon after they left, it was proven that Fao's decision was correct.

Because, there was not just one high-level ghost wolf there, but two!

The other one had been hiding in the fog in a semi-spiritual form, and was hiding near them!

This cunning monster had already discovered them, and the other end was pretending to be seriously injured to lure them forward!

Next, the five of them encountered the most torturous battle in their lives.

The two ghost wolves were not very powerful and were not invincible, but their methods of harassment were truly frightening.

The ghost wolves appeared from the fog without warning, took a bite of flesh and blood, and then disappeared silently in the fog.

They are like the darlings of this fog.

After resisting for a while, Fao finally took the opportunity to cut off the front leg of one of the ghost wolves, which scared them away.

The team also had time to catch their breath, and finally created some distance, trying to get rid of the two ghost wolves.

Now the ghost wolves seemed to be frightened by Fao's sword. Although they did not give up the pursuit, they did not dare to get within a hundred meters and could only stay far behind.

It follows them like a leech.

Another nun also turned around and stared at Fao, who was silent. She couldn't help but frowned and shook her head and said, "Fao, we are companions now, you have to tell the truth!"

The two sisters are good at healing magic, so how could they not understand Fao's current condition?
"..."

But Fao just remained silent, a little hesitant, and ultimately did not explain the real reason.

He waved his hand, tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, looked around at his four teammates, and nodded slowly: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, and please believe me, I will definitely take you back to the monastery."

"Ugh!"

The two sisters sighed at the same time when they heard this. This was not the kind of guarantee they wanted!
"What on earth are you thinking about? You are..."

Just when the situation was becoming more and more awkward, the tall monk took the initiative to change the subject: "Hey! Fao, I don't care about other things, but why do we have to take this road?"

He looked at the road that was going deeper and deeper into the fog, sucked his teeth, and said with a grin:
"It was your suggestion to take this path, and we agree with it. But you are not saying anything now, and it really makes us all worried."

The rescued Fao nodded gratefully at him and said in a deep voice:

"I know a way. Although it's a long way around, the monsters there were just cleared out by a strong man. It should not be occupied by other monsters yet."

"It's an open swamp. If they want to get close to us, they will definitely expose their whereabouts. But we can rest there for a while."

The place Fao mentioned was, of course, their hunting of the bog boar.

The lord there was killed by Herbert, and no new monsters will migrate there in the short term. They can take the opportunity to rest for a while in that unowned land.

And what unfolded next was exactly as Fao had imagined, and he arrived at the swamp smoothly.

"Huh! I can finally take a break."

The tall monk wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes still showing the tension from before, while the shorter monk clenched the weapon in his hand.

The two of them took turns to be on guard.

"Zar, don't be nervous. You can relax for a while."

The older sister of the twin nuns breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It is indeed much flatter here. We two will have more space to display our skills."

They had been restricted in various ways in the forest before and had not been able to fully display their strength. Now that they were on flat ground, they could finally give full play to their strength.

The two of them stacked the books together, then held hands and recited silently together.

"I praise you because your glory protects us from being invaded by foreign enemies."

hum-

Soon, a huge hemisphere with a diameter of ten meters surrounded the team.

With this hemispherical shield, the team members obviously relaxed a lot.

Divine Art: Ten-meter Protection

With this, they can sense when they are attacked at the first moment, have a certain degree of defense, and have more reaction time.

After their basic safety was guaranteed, the five of them quickly moved, took out the dry food and water bags in their backpacks, and quickly filled their mouths.

They have been fighting for too long and now urgently need to recover their strength.

Just as Fao and the others were swallowing voraciously, two figures silently emerged in the distance.

The two misty ghost wolves that had been following them all the way stood at the edge of the swamp and shook their feet in disgust.

He stared at their shield with a dim gaze, and after a long time, it slowly retreated and disappeared into the mist again.

Seeing that the Ghost Wolf temporarily gave up, the few people were completely relieved.

Although these two guys would definitely not give up completely given the character of their race, the five of them could at least take a break for a while.

Just after he relaxed, the tall monk suddenly became interested and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, Fao, I have always wanted to ask you something."

"When I asked you that time, you didn't tell me why you insisted on participating in this monster hunt. With your strength, it won't be difficult for you to participate next month after you have rested well."

They all knew that Fao had previously escorted a group of adventurers in distress back to the monastery, and that he himself was also seriously injured and should recuperate for a while.

However, after receiving the rescue, he did not even wait for his body to fully recover, and this time he rushed back here. What is the hidden story behind this?
He was not the only one who was curious about this matter. The other three also cared about it very much. At this moment, they all looked at Fao curiously.

Fao felt helpless when being stared at like that. He shook his head silently and explained, "Actually, there is no hidden reason as you think. I just want to follow in the footsteps of an adult and hope to repay his kindness..."

"follow?"

After hearing this explanation, several people were a little surprised and kept blinking their eyes.

They didn't expect that Faol would go deep into the Misty Mountains again for such a reason.

Moreover, with Fao's current strength, only legendary strongmen are qualified for him to follow.

"Wait, the adult you are talking about is..."

Just as they were curious about each other's identities, Fao suddenly stood up, raised his sword and shouted, "Be careful!"

! ! ?

At this time, the other four people suddenly realized that something was wrong.

At the edge of the fog outside the shield, hundreds of fog ghost wolves had appeared at some point and were slowly approaching them!

Moreover, after realizing that their whereabouts were exposed, those guys suddenly jumped up.

With its sharp teeth bared, it ran towards them.

And this is not the most despairing thing for Fao...

Because it was not until this moment that he suddenly realized that the two high-level Mist Ghost Wolves had silently leaped above their heads.
