"Does this mean the mission is accomplished? I feel like after mastering the technique, this monster that originally seemed difficult is not that difficult."

The corners of Alice's mouth twitched slightly.

It opened! It was definitely opened! A normal professional using a slingshot would never have such power and accuracy.

"Your muscle control is better than I thought." Alice shook her head and said, "Ordinary professionals can't use a sling like this."

"Because it's hard to control?"

Louis rubbed his sore muscles and asked curiously.

Alice shook her head: "More than that, because if you don't practice this skill well, you may accidentally hurt your teammates."

"What's more, after reaching the Exemplar level, ordinary professionals will more or less have the means to kill from a distance."

"Under this circumstance, the slingshot, which requires a lot of time to train properly, will inevitably be eliminated as a weapon in the middle and late stages."

"But for you, it's just right."

Alice was too embarrassed to say it. Although she could easily defeat Louis in close combat, as a level 9 Heavenly Punishment Sword, her maximum attack range might not be as far as Louis.

Louis also understood her subconscious meaning, lifted up his helmet and said happily: "In this case, we can use it as a countermeasure in the early stage."

Snap! Alice closed Louis's helmet again, and a forced smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"You are not strong enough now. The armor is your protection. Don't expose your flaws easily."

hiss.

Fortunately, she had Louis put on full body armor early on.

Otherwise, people would see the light from the clear sky shining on his face, casting a hazy halo on his cold expression...

Alice was worried that someone wouldn't be able to handle it.

"You are right."

Just as Louis and his group were about to leave, Alice stretched out her arms and said:

"We've dealt with the tree demon, how are you doing?"

"I could play all day long!"

"Then let's run along the border of the Dragonbone Grassland?"

Louis raised his thumbs up: "After all, we promised others."

He didn't forget Yifan's promise.

What's more, his intuition told him that behind the disappearance of Grace's father, there might be some answers he wanted.

Louis looked at William: "William, they have always been here, right?"

William nodded, he knew that Louis was talking about the Raven Guard who came secretly to protect him.

Alice's eyes widened: "No, you just came out to hunt a level 3 tree demon."

"With the two of us here and the stuff in your backpack, this configuration is more than enough."

"You're still shaking me after all this?"

In fact, with just Alice, William and Louis, it is almost enough to defeat a pure-blooded young dragon.

Not to mention that Louis also had another "monster" in his backpack.

With this configuration, we can’t lose even if we encounter a baby dragon!

Louis said seriously: "Even if we have a 95% chance of destroying the Sapphire Dragon with minor injuries, isn't there still a 5% chance of something changing?"

I, Louis, am a cautious player!

"Stop talking!"

…

The carriage started again.

Along the border of the Dragon Bone Grassland, you can see the Smoky Mountains stretching into the distant horizon.

Louis, who was taking a nap in the carriage, suddenly noticed that the carriage began to slow down, and then he heard Alice's voice: "There's something going on up ahead."

Louis opened his eyes and stepped out of the car, and saw Alice, who had already got off the car, squatting under a dead tree.

Go over and take a look.

It was a piece of rotten flesh that had been torn beyond recognition.

"The tooth marks should be some kind of wolf monster."

Alice, wearing leather gloves, calmly looked over the body and gave her own judgment.

As for the Dragon Bone Grassland, there are no wolves there.

The Enther Empire once killed a pure-blooded ancient dragon here. The blood rain that the dragon shed before dying fell on this land and fertilized the weeds.

This land will be shrouded in the residual power of the ancient dragon, which will not dissipate for nearly a hundred years.

Some more sensitive beasts may not be willing to set foot on this land.

Monsters will not step into this place unless necessary.

So the two of them directly set their sights on the two most likely groups of wolf monsters in the Burning Smoke Mountains.

“Is this the missing herder dressed like this?”

Louis took a look at the nomadic clothing that was somewhat similar to Grace's and asked in a low voice.

William nodded: "It should be, but it's a bit strange, there are only bite marks, but no signs of the monster eating, was it scared away by something?"

Alice interrupted, "Maybe the wolves were scared away by the dragon."

Louis' eyes were a little vague, and seeing such a bloody scene gave him a great visual shock.

"Let's go, there aren't many clues, just keep moving forward."

Not finding any more information, the few of them opened the map of Dragon Bone Grassland, marked the approximate location of the body, and got in the car to leave.

The carriage creaked as it moved towards the distance.

The afterglow of the afternoon shines on the dead vines and old trees.

suddenly!

On the rotten and swollen face of the corpse, the eyeball, which was covered in mud and squeezed out of the eye socket, with only a few bloody fascia and nerves connecting it, slowly moved.

The body seemed to come to life and slowly moved.

Suddenly, a round pebble came flying towards us like a cannonball.

The corpse that had just squirmed for a while had half of its leg knocked off on the spot.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The dull sound of footsteps rang out.

In the afterglow of the afternoon, a phantom clad in full body armor came from a distance at a moderate pace.

The sunlight fell on his armor, as if it was covered with a layer of blood. The shadow cast by the slanting setting sun with his back to the armor gave the smooth armor a cold color.

What is even more difficult to ignore is his constantly shaking hands.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

The madly spinning sling made a series of uneasy cries.

When the "corpse" slowly raised its head, it was like a meteorite falling from the sky!

It was like a pebble wrapped in flames flying again, blowing off half of the "corpse's" head.

"What on earth is this?"

Louis said coldly as he approached the old tree again.

William said in a deep voice: "It is the living dead, a kind of existence between the living and the undead. It is rumored that when a large amount of resentment gathers in certain places, the corpses that have just died will be haunted by the resentful souls.

When I got up again, I became something that was neither human nor undead."

Alice lifted the invisibility cloak and beheaded the zombie with one knife. She laughed cruelly, "This Dragon Bone Grassland is getting more and more lively!"

The living dead, also known as zombies, are difficult to identify without some professional means.

Just now, Louis, who had just got on the carriage, heard the task given to him by Alice.

She required herself to fully activate her [hunting sense] from the moment she got on the carriage.

The reason was that at the death scene where the wolf-like monster should have torn the body into pieces with blood and flesh splattered everywhere, she did not see any remaining wolf footprints or the chaos after the struggle.

She suspected that it was not a death scene at all.

Even the body lying there might not be a body.

So... when the carriage traveled a certain distance, Louis, who had been using his hunting sense of smell to lock onto the corpse, noticed its movement.

At this time, Louis was feeling cold all over.

A terrible thought flashed through his mind.

"No way! Grace, you are so... lucky!"
