Chapter 218: Chapter 182 We Call Fran Guard (8000 words requesting monthly ticket)_5

But the low difficulty brings low profit, and the amount of soul energy from monsters like Gollum, Crow Man, and Soul-sucking Ghost is no longer enough to go around.

At this time, Luluwo came up with a proposal.

"Why not try fighting in a different area? I highly recommend the forest, and as for the reasons..."

She took out a map, with a smug smile on her face.

"I’ve come up with a speedrun route for that area."

The Forest Area is a bit harder than the Fran Fort.

However, unlike the Fran Fort, which is filled with a large number of monsters, there are few weak monsters there; it’s mostly populated by creatures with the strength of Elite Monsters.

With the current abilities of the Fran Guards, forming groups of five to hunt a single monster seems manageable.

The soul yield from Elite Monsters is much higher than from Gollum, and the tough battles they offer are a brand new challenge for the Fran Guards.

Luluwo’s map marked the positions and shortest routes to several Elite Monsters; of course, the locations of these monsters could change at any time, and she only marked the most likely encounter spots.

The map depicted the monsters with simple doodles - some looked like giant wolves, some like Flying Dragons, and also some bird-like creatures with an umbrella-like appearance.

At the deepest part of the map, a bright red X marked a spot, seemingly warning people to absolutely avoid that area.

After weighing their options, the Fran Guards decided to move to the Forest Area to strengthen their abilities.

On this day, Dal along with two others entered the Forest Area.

They planned to hunt a monster known as the Big Thief Dragon, which often had a bunch of smaller companions of the same type; sometimes they were quite tricky to handle.

The two Fran Guards accompanying him, one who was taller and more muscular, was named Wesker, a hot-blooded youth who often got carried away in fights.

The other, slimmer and with a faint scholarly air about him, was called Klan. He supposedly came from a Hunter family, but he looked more like someone from the Magic Academy.

These two were among the strongest in the Fran Guards, possessing nearly half the strength of Dal in his initial appearance.

"This forest seems to have its own ecology," Klan picked a wildflower, looking in the distance where herbivorous monsters were leisurely drinking by the lake. "No wonder scholars are interested in this place."

Just then, thunderous footsteps from the forest startled the herbivorous monsters, which scurried away.

The next second, a huge figure emerged from the forest.

It was a wingless dragon, looking very fierce, but its mane was combed into a center part on top of its head, making onlookers unable to help but smile.

This was the main target of their hunt - the Big Thief Dragon!

"Just like yesterday, let’s do this."

Dal remained still, Wesker chuckled and charged with his Great Sword.

"Too reckless," Klan shook his head and drew his Straight Sword, quickly following.

The Big Thief Dragon, sensing hostility, immediately engaged in intense combat with the two.

Although they had completely different personalities, their coordination was quite in sync, disorienting the Big Thief Dragon.

At that moment, the wounded Big Thief Dragon let out a roar and took off running!

"Here we go again, why do all the monsters here like to run away mid-fight!" Wesker angrily chased after it, and Klan did the same.

Dal observed their movements as he followed, nodding in approval, seeing improvement in their abilities during these days.

However, at that moment, a shadow loomed from the sky, followed by a dragon’s roar that carried an even fiercer momentum.

Before anyone could react, something fell from the sky, followed by intense fire and explosions!

Dal’s eyelid twitched as he looked up, thinking to himself that it was this damned monster again!

Suddenly appearing on the battlefield was the scum among scum, known as the map police - the Blast Scale Dragon!

This creature had already made a name for itself among adventurers, occasionally encountered while exploring the Forest Area.

Once encountered, it would be a nightmare experience that’s unforgettable for a lifetime.

"Mr. Dal!" The blazing sea of fire separated Wesker and the others from Dal. Dal shouted, "You go after the Big Thief Dragon, leave this guy to me."

Dal actively attracted the Blast Scale Dragon’s attention until Wesker and his group were safely away.

And at that moment, the Blast Scale Dragon, tired of bombing from the sky, dove towards Dal!

It can’t be said to be entirely voluntary; it can’t stay in the sky too long and needs to glide down to conserve energy.

The situation was dire, how was Dal going to dodge?

"Ha!"

With a loud shout, he suddenly leaped high into the air, surpassing his previous limits in jump height. How did this happen?

Because he had used painting fragments to obtain a Historical Battle Certificate at Meat Pigeon’s, which he exchanged for a blessing.

[Skeleton Jump: Acquire a jumping power akin to that of a Skeleton Warrior]

He had once luckily taken this blessing with him, and now, by exchanging for the same blessing again, he could upgrade it!

Dal spun in the air, delivering a fierce Wolf Jump directly onto the Blast Scale Dragon’s head, smashing it to the ground.

But almost instantly, the Blast Scale Dragon flapped its wings and soared back into the sky, taking Dal along with it.

Fortunately, the Blast Scale Dragon didn’t fly high; it was more like a glide.

Unfortunately, that height was bad news for Dal.

"This is bad."

Dal dared not overly agitate the Blast Scale Dragon, fearing that if it fell, he might also smash into minced meat.

He could only deal with the Monster’s thrashing, trying to find an opportunity for a safe landing, but...

The direction of the Blast Scale Dragon’s glide seemed a bit off?

Dal suddenly remembered the map given to him by Luluwo; cold sweat instantly poured down.

Because the direction they were heading was right where the red ’X’ was on the map!

Could I jump off now while there’s still time?

Dal dared not venture towards that area rashly. It was then, from the dense forest, came a roar fiercer than the Blast Scale Dragon’s.

Dal froze due to the roar, but the Blast Scale Dragon reacted differently; it seemed excited!

It appeared eager to seek out the owner of the roar for a confrontation!

The howling wind whistled past his ears, and everything around him spun wildly.

This experience of high-speed gliding at high altitudes was not something he could enjoy anytime!

But Dal would rather never have such an experience in his lifetime!

He gripped the Blast Scale Dragon’s scales tightly, preparing to use it as a cushion in case of a fall.

But in the next second, he saw something.

A massive, golden silhouette suddenly leaped before him.

When he saw clearly what it was, Dal remembered what Gapar had said.

"Got punched a few times by a golden Monster in the Forest Area that looked like a gorilla but was called a lion."

Seeing this Monster in person, all Dal wanted to say was:

"How can this thing be called a lion..."

Hailing from Monster Hunter, the [Golden Lion] makes a grand appearance!
