After going into the sea, I met Miss Witch

The light and shadow floated, and consciousness turned from falling to stability.

Ryan opened his eyes, and what came into view was the jumping orange-red bonfire.

The tiny sparks drifted with the wind.

Before setting off, Ryan sorted out his current situation.

——

[Level]: 9 (3%)

[Spiritual Value]: 32635

[Spirituality]: 2.5

[Physique]: 20.71

[Loot]: Crimson Horn (Craftsmanship lv.1), Electric Needle (Attribute Resistance lv.1), Fish Dragon Heart Scale (Fire Attribute Resistance lv.1), Fire Umbrella Crown (Concentration lv.1), Fire Monster Feather (Attack lv.1), Broken Giant Fang (Physical Strength lv.1), Red Fierce Fang (Concentration lv.1)

——

The data on the panel is clear, and In addition to the panel, Ryan carries a total of six low-level items, namely:

Weapons: [Great Sword·Ferocious Ice Flower] (Melee Ice Attack), [Light Crossbow·Ice Crushing] (Remote Ice Attack), [Bloody Flintlock] (Bleeding)

Armor: [Umbrella Fire Scale Armor Set] (Sword Drawing·Strength lv.1, Faster Recovery lv.1)

Special Equipment: [Energy Resistance Ring] (Reduced Energy Attack), [Black Eclipse Ring] (Corrosion, Reduced Defense)

——

In terms of equipment, it can be said to be quite luxurious.

Oh, by the way, in addition to the six low-level items above, there are three special items, [Necklace of Abundance], [Sacred Relic·Azure Medal] and [Pure Water Crystal].

[Necklace of Abundance] can speed up the recovery of physical strength and injuries, [Sacred Relic·Azure Medal] improves his physical strength by two levels, and [Pure Water Crystal] can create a "water vapor environment" to weaken fire damage and increase frost damage.

Now, everything is ready.

It's time to start the hunt for the male fire dragon leader.

Ryan's eyes were deep.

Ever since he knew that the "mysterious fragment" carried by the male fire dragon leader was the key to the hidden path profession, he has been "obsessed" with the male fire dragon leader.

Unfortunately, the gap between his strength and the male fire dragon leader was too great at that time, so he could only hope.

And during this period of time, the way he left the place he traveled was basically to die at the claws of the male fire dragon leader.

Even though he died so many times, Ryan still couldn't get used to the despair and loneliness before death.

It can be said that there is a deep grudge between him and the male fire dragon leader.

To put it bluntly, one of the man and the dragon must die.

He sat down in front of the campfire, and his palms were placed on the flames. Ryan's body turned into sparks all over the sky and scattered with the wind.

...

[Campfire Point-Gap between Giant Trees].

Ryan stood up and walked out of the campfire.

The fresh smell of soil rushed into his nose, and Ryan looked in the direction of the female fire dragon's habitat, a little hesitant.

He was thinking whether he should first deal with the female fire dragon before attacking the male fire dragon leader.

According to his observations during this period, the distance between the female fire dragon's nest and the male fire dragon leader's nest is quite far.

If the female fire dragon is dealt with before the male fire dragon leader, the subsequent attack will be much easier, and there is no need to worry about the sudden appearance of the female fire dragon.

Although the female fire dragon has just laid eggs not long ago, it is unlikely to abandon her "baby" to support the male fire dragon leader, but what if?

Thinking of this, Ryan has made a decision in his heart-to attack the female fire dragon first!

On the one hand, it reduces the risk, and on the other hand, the female fire dragon is weaker than the male fire dragon leader. If the wandering clone can be upgraded to another level before attacking the male fire dragon leader, the probability of successful attack will increase a lot.

Moreover, the female fire dragon can be regarded as a weakened form of the male fire dragon leader. By fighting with it, Ryan can adapt to the attack method of the "flying dragon species" in advance.

After making a decision, Ryan immediately took action.

The location of the female fire dragon's nest is not far from [Bonfire Point-Giant Tree Gap]. After driving for about half an hour, Ryan arrived nearby.

Standing in the shadow under the giant tree, Ryan saw from a distance that the giant tree was particularly sturdy, tall and bare-topped compared to the surroundings.

The female fire dragon's nest is located on the top branch of this giant tree.

Without rushing to "seduce" the female fire dragon, Ryan began the preparations before the crusade - digging traps.

According to the information about the female fire dragon that was learned before.

Unlike the male fire dragon leader who flew in the sky for a long time, the female fire dragon can also fly, but its wings are far less strong than the male fire dragon leader. It cannot fly for a long time and most of the time, it will still fall to the ground.

This means that the "hole trap" is effective for the female fire dragon.

Even if the female fire dragon with wings can quickly break free from the "hole trap" with the help of the dancing of its wings, in the action of defeating this terrifying "flying dragon species", even if the female fire dragon falls into the "hole trap" and loses balance for a short time, it will create an excellent attack opportunity for Ryan.

After several experiences, Ryan is now very familiar with digging "hole traps".

It didn't take long for him to make three "hole traps" with a distance of hundreds of meters.

"Huh..."

Ryan patted the dust off his body, sat under the shade of the tree, and maintained his greatsword.

Ready, hunting, start!

Not far from the giant tree where the female fire dragon's nest is located, Ryan looked up, the space ring in his hand flashed, and a light crossbow with an ice blue body appeared in his hand.

—— [Light Crossbow·Ice Crushing]

Take the arrow and string it.

Ryan aimed at the location of the female fire dragon's lair and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"collapse--!"

The crossbow string vibrated continuously, making a buzzing sound, and a crossbow arrow flew out of the air, leaving a gorgeous ice-blue trail in mid-air.

Because of the previous incident in which the flintlock rifle misfired at short distances, during this period of time, in his spare time, Ryan briefly trained his shooting skills.

The difficulty of shooting a hand crossbow is similar to that of a flintlock gun, and the difference between the two is not very big.

Thanks to his strong physical fitness, Ryan started shooting quickly. Although he can't hit the target 100 times now, he still won't miss a target as big as the female fire dragon's lair.

The maximum shooting distance of [Light Crossbow·Smashed Ice] is 300 meters, and Ryan's current location is almost the same distance from the female fire dragon's lair.

At such a long distance, by the time the crossbow reaches the target, its kinetic energy has been greatly weakened, and its direct lethality is very limited.

But Ryan's goal from the beginning was not to use this crossbow to destroy the female fire dragon's lair, but to lure it out.

as expected.

The crossbow arrow landed on the surface of the nest and only penetrated a few centimeters. The physical damage was basically zero. However, the ice attribute enchantment on the crossbow arrow spread a large amount of frost on the surface of the nest.

As a monster that loves heat and hates cold, the female fire dragon is very sensitive to low temperatures, not to mention that the current female fire dragon is still in a state of high vigilance after laying eggs.

"Roar--!"

With a shocking dragon roar, the Green Queen spread her wings above the nest.

The strong power of the dragon spread with the sound waves, and a large number of flying birds were frightened. For a moment, the nearby sky was filled with scurrying birds.

Soon, the female fire dragon's angry eyes were locked on the "culprit" - the "tiny human" standing on the ground, not concealing his traces at all.

The attack of the crossbow caused minimal damage to the nest, but as a mother, the female fire dragon will never allow anything to threaten her children, no matter how small the threat is!

"Wow..."

The dragon wings vibrated, and the huge dragon body slowly fell from the sky.

"Boom——"

It weighed tens of tons, and when it landed, there was a noticeable vibration on the ground.

Under the sun, each thick dark green scale has a little gold edge on its edge, like extremely strong metal armor.

Step by step, the female fire dragon walked towards Ryan. When the distance between the two sides was only about fifty meters, the wings behind the female fire dragon suddenly opened up and let out a deafening roar.

"Roar!"

The sound waves spread layer by layer, the grass was pressed parallel to the ground, and the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees shook violently and made a rattling sound.

Such a strong sense of oppression made Ryan's eyes become extremely serious.

As a powerful monster at the "lower three-star" level and weak after childbirth, she can easily defeat the red tyrannosaurus. The female fire dragon is the most powerful existence in the ancient forest area, except for the male fire dragon leader.

The anger of the Green Queen can also make everything in the forest bow its head.

The strong wind blew Ryan's hair under his helmet flying back. He held the hilt of the sword behind him with his right hand and walked towards the female fire dragon step by step with a calm expression.

…

【Place of sightseeing】

Looking at the investment screen that popped up on the "Observation Deck" in front of her, Freni nervously pressed her fluffy witch hat on her head.

[The "original heart" traveler encounters a powerful enemy-the female fire dragon, and the war is about to break out. 】

[Comparison of combat power between the two camps: Traveler (30) vs. Female Fire Dragon (34, weak state)]

[The amount of investment you currently have [Lingcui: 747]]

[The ratio of both parties - Traveler: Female Fire Dragon = 4.0:1.8, the minimum investment amount is 100 spirit essence. 】

[You have thirty seconds to invest and place bets...]

The countdown was decreasing little by little, and it was already halfway through in the blink of an eye, and at this time, Freni finally made up her mind.

"Except for the guaranteed 200 spiritual essences, the remaining 547 spiritual essences are all invested in Travelers!"

Phryne took a sip.

She knew very well that her choice was too risky.

But she had no choice.

Freni has already made a decision. After tonight, she will start to advance to the second level no matter what. Therefore, even if the "hateful traveler" played a trick on her last time and caused her to lose 700 spiritual essence, she will still This is all we can do.

Only in this way can we have the possibility of gaining a more solid foundation before advancing to the second level.

so--

"Wanderer, please do your best this time!"

Miss Witch clasped her hands together in front of her body and prayed silently.

…

In the current world, the Whirlpool Islands, the top of the central extinct volcano of Mingjin Island.

The cool moonlight spread down, covering it with a layer of silver gauze.

The lonely gray wolf squatted here, looking up at the crescent moon hanging quietly in the sky.

The last full moon night has just passed not long ago, and it will take at least more than two weeks for the full moon to come again. This is the consensus among the pirates on the Whirlpool Islands.

Logically speaking, this is not wrong, but many times, common sense is often broken inadvertently.

"We have an unexpected guest...but it doesn't matter."

"The audience is already in place, and this grand performance is about to begin."

"I'm really looking forward to it..."

From the side covered by the gray wolf's shadow, a gentle female voice sounded, carrying strong expectations.

In the murmuring voice, a strange change occurred in the gray wolf.

Its hair, starting from the head, turned from gray to light silver-white. In a blink of an eye, the originally plain-looking gray wolf has become an extremely noble and elegant moon wolf.

It raised its head and let out a loud cry.

Incredibly rich silver light spots rose from its body, gradually forming a strange full moon with a silver main body and blood-red edges.

Two moons in the sky, one waning and one full.

Such a strange spectacle immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the island.

"What is going on?!"

"Two moons? A bloody full moon?"

"Oh no, a sea monster has landed!"

Some pirates found that under the illumination of the bloody moonlight, the sea monsters that were originally wandering near the coast began to land.

The eyes of these sea monsters turned scarlet, and any creatures they saw along the way were attacked indiscriminately by them.

Before the pirates could react, "out-of-control" people began to appear in the pirate group.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and they bit their companions beside them. At this moment, they lost their human intellect and were like crazy beasts.

Those who "lost control" first were all of poor physique, and those strong pirates, although not out of control, were also strongly affected, and annoying mumbling appeared in their ears and minds.

Even professionals were in the bloody moonlight and were inevitably affected.

And the closer to the central Mingjin Island, the milder this "loss of control" and "mumbling" phenomenon.

Out of instinct, the pirates began to approach Mingjin Island.

The arrival of the change was so abrupt that it had already come when no one expected it.

In the base of the three second-level pirate groups.

The seated black knight and the two black knights rushed out of the door.

The quiet bloody moonlight fell on them, and was blocked by the lavender light that instinctively spread from their bodies.

"Such a powerful witch power?"

The eyes under the mask of the Black Knight shrank slightly, and his tone was filled with shock.

"How is it possible!"

The lavender light came from the power of the "Demon Suppression Stone". Only when they encountered a strong witch power, they would spontaneously resist.

The facts were in front of him, and no matter how unbelievable the Black Knight was, he could not change it.

Taking a deep breath, the Black Knight ignored the "Iron Eagle" Vladika who followed behind him, and rushed to the place where the blood moon rose.

No matter what, as one of the twelve Black Knights, he would never let it go when he encountered such a witch-related thing.

As for the Dark Moon Witch... In front of a witch of this level, the pursuit of the Dark Moon Witch Freni can only be put on hold for a while.

On Tidal Island (North Island 1).

Looking at the back of the Black Knight leaving, "One-Eyed" Santas retracted his gaze.

He hurried back to the room in the base. Along the way, he saw many ordinary members of the "One-Eyed Pirates" with red eyes, stumbling towards Mingjin Island.

Entering the room, Santas passed the changes on the Whirlpool Islands to the Dark Moon Witch through the curse.

This unique way of transmitting information was told to him by the Dark Moon Witch Furenee.

After doing this, he patted his head, as if to pat out the subtle "whispering" that appeared in it.

"Sure enough, my premonition was right, the Whirlpool Islands, something big happened..."

Santas' voice was filled with fear and trembling.

Even he, a dignified second-level elite professional, could not avoid being affected. Even if he hid in a room where the blood-colored moonlight could not shine, he still could not completely block it.

...

Ancient forest.

Birds flew all over the sky and fled.

Ryan looked dignified and walked towards the female fire dragon step by step.

Neither the man nor the dragon ran, but just walked towards each other.

It seemed calm, but in fact, a strong killing intent had spread throughout the field.

When the distance reached 30 meters, the female fire dragon moved.

It made an obvious "inhale and charge" action, and one second later, a huge fireball larger than Ryan burst out.

The rolling fireball shone with a red luster. Wherever it passed, the grass leaves turned yellow and then scorched black, and the temperature was terrifyingly high.

Ryan could dodge, but he didn't hide, just drew out the big sword and held it in front of him.

He wanted to try to see how much resistance he had to fire attacks now.

The moment the big sword was unsheathed, a magical power emerged in his body. It was the [Sword Drawing Skill·Force] that took effect: within 20 seconds, the damage he caused with the big sword will increase by 5%, and it is more likely to cause the enemy to faint when attacking the head.

Rich water vapor permeated the body, forming a "water vapor environment".

[Umbrella Fire Scale Armor Set] + [Fire Attribute Resistance lv.1] + [Attribute Resistance lv.1] = 9 points of fire attribute resistance!

[Pure Water Crystal] + [Ring of Energy Resistance] greatly weakens the damage of fire.

What kind of "anti-fire special attack" is this!

"Boom!"

The huge fireball rushed over and exploded the moment it came into contact with [Great Sword·Ferocious Ice Flower]. The exploding flames instantly engulfed Ryan's body, forming a "torch" several people high.

But this is only a surface phenomenon.

The existence of the first line of defense "water vapor environment" weakened the flames layer by layer before they approached Ryan. When they touched Ryan's body, the power was less than one-third of its full strength.

Next, the second line of defense [Energy Resistance Ring], its effect is to reduce the energy attack received by 10%.

Of course, this damage reduction effect has a level judgment: the first-level energy attack is fully effective, the second-level is only 50% effective, and the third-level is completely ineffective.

Ryan cannot accurately compare the level of the monsters in the travel land with the level of the professional. In fact, he has never seen a professional above the second level, and he lacks sufficient knowledge of the damage that professionals of that level can cause.

But there is no doubt that the female fire dragon in its prime is definitely much stronger than the second-level elite professional.

The pure and terrifying physique and tonnage alone are enough to crush the second-level professional.

Therefore, there is no big problem in equating the female fire dragon with the third-level professional.

Normally, facing the fireball of the female fire dragon equivalent to the third-level professional, the [Energy Resistance Ring] will be completely ineffective, but the problem is that after the reduction of the "water vapor environment", the fireball, which is less than one-third of the power, has not reached the third-level range.

In this case, the [Energy Resistance Ring] can naturally still play a part of the effect.

After being reduced by the [Ring of Energy Resistance], the flames, which were further weakened, finally fell on Ryan.

The [Umbrella Fire Scale Armor Set] forged with the Fire Umbrella Bird has a natural strong resistance to fire attacks.

What is the concept of 9 points of fire attribute resistance?

Without comparison, Ryan was not very clear.

But he could be sure of one thing, before the female fire dragon's flames were weakened layer by layer, he only felt a slight heat on his skin, and he didn't even get burned!

"Huh..."

The greatsword swept across in front of him, dispersing the surrounding flames. In the sky full of sparks, Ryan looked up and stared at the female fire dragon with obvious surprise in its dragon eyes, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Let's start our real battle!"

"Bang——!"

The ground shook, spreading fine cracks. In the blink of an eye, Ryan had rushed forward more than ten meters.

The rapidly approaching figure made the female fire dragon react.

Stepping and flicking its tail.
