Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

The wandering mercenary's reaction was very relaxed, which made Junzu unable to muster any hostility. What's more, it was a good thing to be grateful for what one has received. This wandering mercenary had helped her for the second time, so she had no reason to keep him at a distance again.

"I ate it, thank you."

Junzu expressed his gratitude sincerely and tried hard to force a smile on the other person.

However, she was born with a lack of emotions and ultimately failed to achieve her wish.

To avoid embarrassment, Gallop Foot asked how she got there, and as she guessed, it was the wandering mercenary, Mr. Griffix, who rescued her.

"I wanted to go out hunting, but I hadn't gone far when I saw you lying there."

Mr. Griffiths showed the long-eared snowshoe rabbit in his hand to Stridfoot. It seemed that after rescuing Stridfoot, he went back to hunt.

"How about eating some rabbit together?"

Mr. Geffex's invitation made Junzu swallow his saliva subconsciously. To refuse such a "kind" invitation at this time, the courage required was no less than challenging a flying dragon head-on.

"Let me roast it, Mr. Geffex. I'm actually quite good at roasting rabbit."

This time, Junzu was no longer on guard. She reasoned for herself that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Only by restoring her body to fighting ability could she rescue her mother and sister Fenger... or, perhaps, avenge them.

Just like that, in the dark and cold crevice of the snowy mountains, Junzu and the wandering mercenary of unknown origin roasted rabbit meat together.

During the barbecue, the two naturally started chatting.

Junzu learned from Mr. Gfix that he used to be a mercenary, but later quit and switched to being a reward hunter.

Mr. Geffex appeared here at this moment because he accepted an investigation commission in Norman Town and had to go to the Bessant Basin to investigate whether there were any dangerous monsters.

"Ah, this commission is really tricky. I haven't even reached the Besent Basin yet, and I've already encountered several level five monsters... Little girl, has the Besent area always been this dangerous?"

"Uh...actually, I'm a traveler too, so I'm not very familiar with this area."

Junzu answered Mr. Gfix truthfully. As long as it didn't involve the Dark Rabbit Tribe, she felt there should be no problem in telling him the truth.

After answering this, Junzu suddenly noticed that Mr. Griffiths did not react to his appearance at all.

You know, I am a member of the Dark Rabbit clan who "should not appear in public"!

"You're a traveler too? Huh? Wait, your black ears... and your hair and skin color... aren't common..."

It was at this moment that Geffex finally noticed the unusualness of Junzu.

Junzu sighed helplessly in his heart, thinking that Mr. Gfix was really a thick-skinned person.

But what she didn't expect was that Mr. Geffex's slowness was even worse than she expected!

"Um... little sister, I don't mean to offend you..." Mr. Griffiths chose his words carefully, and then asked Galloping Foot, "Among the rabbit people, you should be the darkest one, right?"

Hearing this question, Junzu almost fainted again.

How naive must Mr. Geffex be to ask such a question?

"Uh, yes, I do belong to the darker category."

In order not to reveal his identity, Junzu could only nod helplessly.

Her answer was not a lie, because the Dark Rabbit Clan was also a Rabbit Clan, and among the Rabbit Clan, they were the darkest.

"It's better to be darker. It's healthier."

As if to ease Junzu's embarrassment, Mr. Geffex brought up the topic of wheat-colored skin, which is very popular recently.

While gnawing on the roasted rabbit, Junzu chatted with Mr. Geffex in a casual manner, and thought that this wandering mercenary was a strange and interesting guy.

——(It seems that not all people in the outside world are bad, Mother, Wind-Ear Sister...)

For the first time in his life, Junzu disagreed with his mother's teachings.

Their mother always taught them that the outside world was full of bad people and they should not have anything to do with them.

But this Mr. Griffiths not only saved Striding Foot's life, but was also very simple and interesting. Striding Foot believed that even if he was taken to the tribe's secluded place, everyone would still like him.

However, such a vision now seems difficult to achieve.

Not to mention bringing Mr. Geffex back, even if Junzu wanted to go back to the secluded place openly, it would be a risky act.

—(After this roast rabbit, say goodbye to Mr. Geffex. He is such a good man that you cannot involve him in any dangerous things.)

Striding Foot made his decision and bit off a large piece of rabbit meat.

In this cold and snowy world, the hot rabbit meat, sizzling with oil, is really delicious.

Soon, Junzu and Mr. Gfix had almost finished eating the delicious rabbit.

But for some reason, Mr. Guffix's face suddenly turned pale, and he stared at Galloping Foot with extreme nervousness.

——(Could it be that he finally realized my identity?)

Junzu couldn't help but become nervous. If Mr. Gfix asked him if he was a member of the Dark Rabbit clan... would he have to kill him to keep the secret?

In the past, Junzu would have acted without hesitation, but now... the life-saving grace of the two pieces of bread and a bag of water, as well as the friendship of this roast rabbit meal, really made it difficult for Junzu to ignore!

"Although it may be a little late for me to ask this question now...but, little sister...I still want to ask you..."

Mr. Gaffix began to speak hesitantly, and Junzu knew that he could no longer stop this question.

But in the end, the question Mr. Gfix asked was: "Um...you rabbit people...don't you have any taboos about eating rabbit meat?"

This time Junzu couldn't hold on and fell headfirst onto the snow.

Mr. Geffex!

I really admire you!

Why is your brain circuit different from normal people?!

"It's not taboo... Although we like rabbits, we also eat rabbit meat..."

Junzu finally answered the question with a dark face.

For the Dark Rabbit clan, the living conditions in seclusion are already difficult enough, so how could they afford to be picky about what they can eat?

Besides, although the Rabbit and Dark Rabbit clan both have the word "rabbit" in their names, they are essentially two different creatures, which does not affect their eating of rabbit meat at all.

When Mr. Guffax heard Gallop's answer, his face suddenly brightened up.

This man, whose thoughts are written all over his face, is so easy to understand.

Junzu shook his head helplessly and calmed his turbulent mood.

She felt that if she stayed with this man for a few more days, her innate problem of emotional deprivation would probably heal on its own.

——(Okay, it’s time to say goodbye.)

Gallop stood up and walked out of the rift with Mr. Gfix to breathe some fresh air, and then prepared to formally thank Mr. Gfix.

But before she could even open her mouth, Mr. Geffex's expression became serious again.

Since Junzu had been used to being "tricked" by Mr. Gfix the previous two times, this time he planned to directly interrupt Mr. Gfix's questions.

It wasn't that she didn't want to continue spending time with Mr. Geffex, but she really didn't have the time.

However, Mr. Guffix's approach this time was completely different from the previous two times. Without saying a word, he put his hands on Junzu's shoulders and asked her to lie down with him.

"Didn't you hear the high-frequency flapping of wings? A monster is coming! Be quiet!"

Mr. Gfix's words really surprised Junzu, because this guy was so "weird" just now that Junzu forgot that he was a mercenary and a reward hunter.

After calming down and listening carefully, Gallop Foot also heard the high-frequency wingbeating sound that Mr. Griffiths mentioned.

Generally speaking, the creatures that could make this kind of sound were bug-type monsters with the ability to fly. Speaking of the bug-type monsters that could fly in the Besent region...

——(Oh no! If it’s that guy, lying on the snow would be suicide!)

Without any further explanation, Junzu immediately pulled Mr. Gfix up and ran towards the crack together.

But before they could run in, a flying insect-shaped monster dropped from the sky and blocked their way...!

·

A body up to three meters tall;

The whole body is covered with silvery-white scales;

A triangular head, powerful forearms, and the iconic sickle claws at the end of the forearms...

Junzu swallowed subconsciously, this time not because of appetite, but because of fear.

Standing before them was a dangerous monster with the strength of a fifth level, but the threat level was comparable to that of a sixth level:

Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis.

10.140 - Chatting and Laughing

"Mr. Gfix, this guy is very dangerous. Run away! I'll attract his attention first!"

Although he was clearly in a difficult situation, Junzu still spoke out of his own strength.

Her logic was actually very simple, that is, she owed Mr. Geffex a life, and now that the opportunity to repay the favor had come, she had to pay it back.

"Run away? Why run away?"

Mr. Gfix, who had been very cautious and vigilant just now, suddenly changed his attitude for some reason and looked at the ferocious Snow Mantis in front of him with a relaxed expression.

Seeing this, Junzu really wanted to "knock Mr. Geffex unconscious and carry him away"...!

This guy is the Phantom Snow Mantis! He's a tier 6 apex predator posing a threat on this snowy mountain!

"Why don't you run away? Can't you recognize that it's the Phantom Snow Mantis?!"

"Yes, of course I know that."

"Then why are you asking?! This is this guy's home turf!"

"It doesn't matter if it's home ground. Can't you see that this guy is just all show and no substance?"

Mr. Griffiths was a little intimidated by his composure.

Could it be, she wondered, that this wandering mercenary was actually a hidden talent? After all, judging by his ragged appearance and tattered equipment, it was hard to believe that Mr. Gfix was actually incredibly powerful.

"All show and no substance...? Why do you say it's all show and no substance?"

"Haha, it's very simple. Look, we've been talking back and forth for eight sentences, and it hasn't attacked yet. Isn't this just empty talk?"

Mr. Griffix's cleverness left Junzu speechless.

In her opinion, the reason why the Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis did not attack was not because it was afraid, but because it was at ease.

When a cat catches a mouse, it will usually tease the mouse before eating it. It's such a simple truth, but this wandering mercenary doesn't know it!

"Mr. Gfix, please, just listen to me. Before it attacks, let's split up and hide..."

Junzu used both reason and emotion to persuade Mr. Gfix to stop being so self-righteous. At this time, Mr. Gfix seemed to see that Junzu was not convinced by him, so he put away the smile on his face and spoke his analysis seriously.

Mr. Gfix said that he was just joking, but he was serious about one thing, which was that this Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis was really not strong.

In order to convince Junzu, Mr. Geffex listed three reasons.

The first reason is that there are always leaders and tailbacks in any tribe. In other words, not all Snow Mantises are dangerous.

The second reason was that the Snow Mantis's strategy was wrong. The opponent had a clear opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but it openly intercepted it head-on. Such a decision was either foolish or stupid.

The last reason was that this Phantom Snow Ghost Mantis lacked experience. Even though it had the advantage of staying in the air, the opponent actually took the initiative to land on the ground to attack them, wasting its overwhelming air-to-ground position.

"Little sister, in my opinion, this guy only has the fifth evolutionary level, but lacks the corresponding experience... Or maybe he just looks down on the two of us and treats us as food, so he didn't use any tactics or strategies at all."

"Well, I think they think we're food, so let's run, Mr. Geffex, I beg you."

"No, no, no. If it regards us as food, then it is even weaker, because this fully demonstrates that it has no ability to assess the strength of its opponent."

Mr. Gfix's answer made Junzu completely believe that this wandering mercenary was really too confident.

It is normal for monsters to treat humans as food when they are of the same level.

Even though there were two people on Junzu's side, Junzu himself was missing an arm and was very weak, so even half the strength of a man was too much.
