Chapter 399

Maliciousness is like a tide, like a light on his back.

Qin Ran tapped his toes and retreated sharply.

The next moment, a puff of black smoke spewed out from the shadow on the side of the gate, and the pungent stench instantly filled the surroundings. The waiters who led the way and the bodyguards around them all fell to the ground precariously under the stench.

Qin Ran immediately covered his mouth and nose, and opened the distance again.

[Toxin: Physical fitness judgment passed, no abnormal state occurred...]

...

The reminder of the battle information is constantly displayed on the retina.

Qin Ran's gaze was fixed on the shadow on the side of the gate.

Whoosh!

Under Qin Ran's watchful eyes, a short figure rushed out at an extremely fast speed with a more intense stench wrapped in it. The sharp claws grabbed Kieran's throat.

Tilting his head and stepping back, Kieran easily pushed away such a head-on blow.

Then, kick it out.

boom!

With an extremely powerful kick, the 'assailant' turned into a fired shell and hit the wall on the side of the gate heavily.

The 'assailant' twitched a few times and then fell silent.

However, under Kieran's intentional control of strength, the body of the 'assailant' remained quite intact.

This is a monster like a monkey.

It has the appearance of a monkey, but has no fur. The flesh and blood are wrapped in a translucent but cloudy film. The teeth and claws are sharp and black.

A stench was clearly audible from above.

"What's this?"

Rat ran out of the house and saw the 'assailant' by the wall at first glance. When the stench penetrated his nose, Rat subconsciously took two steps back.

However, the whole person was still shaking.

"Go to the doctor and get some peppermint oil and water!"

Kieran grabbed the unconscious Latte, and while leading him away from the corpse of the 'assailant', he turned his head and shouted at the rushing butler.

The resident doctor of the Lutter family appeared in front of Kieran two minutes later.

After quickly checking on Rat, he washed Rat with water first, then applied peppermint oil, and fed Rat to drink some kind of medicinal liquid.

Qin Ran was noncommittal about the doctor's actions.

The other party is undoubtedly professional.

Unlike him, he just relied on the [Poison Specialization] in the unparalleled level [Medical. Drug Knowledge] to distinguish the approximate components of the previous stench and make corresponding countermeasures.

Three or five minutes later, Rattle woke up.

"what is that?"

Rat, who quickly regained consciousness, looked at the body of the 'assailant' under the wall in surprise.

"A kind of monster!"

Qin Ran answered vaguely.

It's not that he doesn't want to tell Latt in detail, but that Kieran doesn't know what this monster is.

"The massacre at the gold digger camp, did it cause it?"

Lutter thought of something, turned his head to look at Qin Ran with piercing eyes.

"No."

"It's another kind of monster!"

Ignoring the oppression in Latte's eyes, Kieran shrugged and replied.

"That is to say... Harold is facing these monsters all the time?"

Rat took a deep breath, trying to keep his words calm.

But Qin Ran easily discerned the tension and uneasiness in it.

"If you don't mind, we can go to your study to continue talking, if here..."

"Leave it to this doctor, he is far more professional than you and me!"

Qin Ran said so.

At the same time, give a smile to the busy doctor.

However, from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the 'eavesdropper' who was still in a coma.

The other party was also fascinated by the poisonous smoke the first time the 'assailant' appeared, and did not wake up at this time.

Qin Ran was sure that the other party was not pretending.

The surprise on the other party's face was too obvious.

Moreover, when taking advantage of the chaos, Kieran had deliberately stepped on the opponent's fingers with his toe.

The other party did not wake up.

It didn't look like a night species either.

The opponent is not a night species, and he doesn't know about this attack!

Qin Ran was very sure of this.

But precisely because of such affirmation, Kieran had doubts.

Why did that monkey-like monster attack him?

That's right.

From beginning to end, the target of the 'assailant' was him.

Qin Ran was confident that his sensitivity to malice and killing intent would not go wrong.

"From the time I appeared in the tavern until I was found by Lutter, were there other people and forces eyeing me? And, when it was confirmed that I was coming to the Lutter family, they quickly dispatched a 'killer' 'Ambush here, for..."

"Don't let me tell you the whereabouts of Rat, Herbert and others!"

"No, no!"

"It's not Lat, it should be the person behind the 'Eavesdropper' or Night Seed."

Kieran followed behind Latte, analyzing the reason why the 'assailant' appeared.

And that's not too difficult a thing.

From the dungeon world [Ancient City Foreign Object] to the current dungeon world [Ancient Invasion], Qin Ran will have something to do with him. People who want to kill him or Ye Zhong think about it and confirm that they will not do such a thing After that, he naturally focused on the item 'he knows Herbert's whereabouts'.

"The 'assailant' didn't know that what I made up and showed was a lie, because they didn't find the whereabouts of Herbert and others, otherwise, they wouldn't have sent the killer! But the difference from the 'eavesdropper' is that , they are quite sure to find Herbert and others, all they need is time..."

"etc!"

"The 'Assailant' may not be sure of finding Herbert and the others, but just to delay the time of the 'Eavesdropper' side!"

"Is the relationship between the two sides competition? Or hostility?"

Qin Ran guessed.

As for why the 'assailant' delayed the time of the 'eavesdropper'?

Qin Ran was sure that the 'assailant' was planning something, but he couldn't know what it was.

It was not as simple as guessing why Herbert was wanted.

Someone needs to be responsible for the massacre at the gold digger camp.

It just so happened that Herbert appeared there and had a grudge with the night monster.

Everything is so natural.

"We must speed up!"

Qin Ran thought to himself.

He had no way of knowing what the 'assailant' was planning.

But there was one thing he was sure of.

That's definitely not a good thing.

Moreover, Herbert is very likely to be involved.

So, when Latt opened the door of the study for him, Qin Ran strode into it.

"When will the food and medicine I need be available?"

Qin Ran asked directly.

"immediately!"

"However, I need to know what happened. Why did that monster appear?"

"Don't worry, my study has been specially processed and is absolutely safe!"

After closing the door, Rat couldn't wait to ask.

It's just that Qin Ran shook his head when faced with such a question.

He gave a no to what Rattle said was safe.

At least, according to Kieran's estimation, such special processing can't really prevent night species from eavesdropping, but it is what he needs.

"I promised Herbert to keep everything secret for the time being!"

"So, when you see Harold, you can ask him yourself!"

Qin Ran said.
