“The explorers will never be afraid of the adventures, but they will definitely not take an adventure recklessly.

Demons are not that horrible because they can also be killed. And they have a huge weakness—they can’t survive without Red Mist.

Leaf once used the crossbow bolts to kill a trapped demon. Nightingale managed to kill the enemy under a very unfavorable circumstance.” Lightning secretly cheered for herself and she believed that she could also make it.

“We should first report this to His Highness,” Leaf said hurriedly. “Comparing with us, both Nightingale and Ashes are much more experienced in fighting the demons!”

“But, the demons may have already left by the time they reach here.” Lightning checked the pistol’s cartridge to ensure that it was filled with bullets and said, “By letting such dangerous enemies wandering around the border, we’ll face much more serious risks.”

“I… can stay and keep an eye on them.”

“What if they walk out of your control area,” the little girl insisted and continued, “and if you try to stop them, you’ll end up exposing yourself. Three of us might as well work together.”

Leaf relapsed into silent. She seemed to be persuaded.

“Coo coo!” Maggie stood on top of Lightning and flutered her wings.

“Alright,” she scratched the pigeon’s neck and said, “we’ll each take care of a demon.”

“What did she just say?” Leaf asked.

Lightning pouted and said, “She said she wants to break the head of the enemy with her claws and pound the flesh into a meat pie with her wings. Finally, she will toast it in the fire to find out how it may taste like.”

“She just said ‘Coo’ twice!” the latter questioned.

“It’s basically what it means.” The little girl nodded earnestly.

“An excellent explorer is not only extraordinarily brave but also has the ability to lead the entire team, helping them to relax when they are nervous and keeping them when they are over relaxed. I’ll try my best to follow your words, father.”

Lightning shook her wrist and the cartridge was closed. Trying not to look nervous, she pretended to look calm and said, “How far are they away from here?”

“About three hundred meters away from our right.” Leaf answered.

“I should have seen the enemies if I was not blocked by the woods.” She was thinking that she definitely had the advantage of taking the first shot, and the pistol obviously outperforms the Magic Stone due to its long range. “You can trap the demons with vines, right? Just like last time at the Barbarian Land.”

“I believe I should be able to trap them for a short period of time.”

“OK. We can attack from the sky.” Lightning said, “It’s the last direction the enemies will notice. They will temporarily focus on the vines only. We can end this fight in seconds.”
