A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"Get out of the way!"

Wuyue quickly pulled Beatrice away, who was still unable to react.

The high-speed unidentified object swept past the four people in a flash, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh..."

Fiona spat out the mouthful of sand.

"Didn't you say it wasn't aggressive?!"

Perhaps it really isn't aggressive, and Cersei wasn't lying.

However, this normalized speed of movement itself is a major threat.

If Wuyue's senses are correct, its speed just now was even faster than Fiona's sword strike that transformed into demonic light... far exceeding the limits of what an average person could react to.

Of the four, Beatrice was not considered.

Eve is agile but not fast.

The only ones who might be able to contend with it are probably Wuyue and Fiona.

On the other side, the figure suddenly stopped in the distance.

Only then did the four of them see its true form.

It was about half a person's height, with a round and sturdy body, short but powerful limbs, and covered with strange black and white fur. It was hard to imagine how such a body structure could achieve that speed.

But what's most eye-catching is its uniquely shaped head...

Its nose extends forward, soft and flexible, sometimes stretching and sometimes twitching, as if it is sniffing something.

His narrow eyes looked rather sleazy.

"What is this thing? It's an eyesore. What decent person would keep something like this as a pet?"

Fiona made her usual sarcastic remark as soon as she saw this creature, which was ugly in a new way.

The moment Wuyue saw its true form, a memory was stirred within her.

"Dream Eater?"

Although it looks quite different from the one I met Stone the night before, its long, slender nose is one of a kind that you won't find anywhere else in the world.

Without a doubt, it is a dream-eating beast.

"This is the Dream Eater?"

Bai Ye had only heard Wu Yue recount that encounter before, and now he finally got to see it for himself.

Isn't this just a tapir?

Looks like Calantia was being lazy again, just using a creature template from some random world...

“Fiona, we need to work together to catch it.”

As Wuyue spoke, she looked at Eve again:

“Eve, Fiona and I will surround and intercept it. You stay where you are and use arrows to block its escape route.”

"Beatrice, I remember you can use the Holy Wall, right?"

"Ah."

"The task of creating the cage is now yours. First, prepare a three-sided sacred wall. Once we drive it inside, you can then close the net."

After everything was arranged, Wuyue gave Fiona a look, and the two of them began to approach the dream-eating beast quietly from two different directions.

Of course, if you can approach it by stealth alone and put the collar on it directly, then the subsequent steps can be skipped...

Edible dream beasts are monsters, with all their senses being extremely sensitive, and their alertness is far beyond that of humans.

In addition, Fiona had never been trained in stealth.

Before it even got within a hundred meters of the Dream Eater, its large ears instantly perked up and turned towards Fiona.

Wuyue immediately signaled Fiona to stop, so as not to alert the enemy.

Taking advantage of its attention being entirely focused on Fiona, Wuyue activated all her stealth skills, seemingly disappearing from the world, leaving no footprints on the sand, and slowly crept towards it.

At this moment, even a Saint-level expert, if fully focused, would probably not be able to sense Wuyue's presence.

Fifty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...

The distance between us gradually shortened, while time passed little by little.

We can now clearly see what the Dream Eater is doing at this moment.

It discovered an insect nest and was feeding.

It has to be said that this is a golden opportunity; if it doesn't eat and wants to run, probably no one can catch it...

Wuyue has already taken out the collar, intending to finish the job in one fell swoop.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The dream-eating beast seemed to have eyes in the back of its head, glancing back at Wuyue.

For some reason, there was a hint of mockery in its narrow eyes.

Without hesitation, Wu Yue exerted force with her feet, attempting to cross the two or three-meter distance and subdue her directly.

The Dream Eater was even faster, its body erupting with an unprecedented burst of "electricity," before it turned and sped away in the direction it had come from...

Fiona, who had been staying in the same spot for some time, had been observing the situation. Upon seeing this, she suddenly exerted force with her sword, transforming herself into a beam of magical light in an attempt to intercept it.

The Dream Eater reacted quickly, turning around as Fiona attacked from the side. In an instant, two beams of light chased each other across the desert.

Although Fiona was fast, she couldn't maintain that speed, and the sword strike was about to come.

Then, with a whoosh, a swift arrow flew ahead of the Dream Eater's path, forcibly causing it to turn and slowing it down.

Taking advantage of this lull, Wuyue caught up and took over from Fiona to continue driving them away.

"Ha ha......"

Fiona bent over, panting heavily.

You promised I wouldn't get tired? You guys lied to me...

Chasing after this damn ugly thing is way more tiring than a major battle...

......

Let's go back to a short time ago.

"Cough cough."

"Everyone, we're all here, we can set off now."

Asher led Lin Mo out of the city and came to a group of people.

There were more than twenty people, some adventurers, and others wrapped up tightly in white robes and headscarves... Their attire actually resembled that of the man named Asher.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Lin Mo saw two familiar figures.

Valeria and Arester...

The two of them naturally saw Lin Mo as well. Valeria looked slightly surprised, as if she hadn't expected Lin Mo's arrival.

"Your Mightiness?"

"Oh my, so you two know each other. What a coincidence! This saves us the trouble of introductions."

"But let's cut to the chase and get going, shall we?"

Asher seemed very anxious.

Regardless, this hastily assembled adventure team set off.

"I didn't expect you to have the connections to get involved in this commission."

Valeria said it seemingly casually.

"...I ran into him at the city gate. He said he was short-handed, so I came..."

At the same time, a question arose in my mind.

Could this be some extraordinary commission?

After a few words, Lin Mo understood why these two people were here.

Valeria joined the group through the Church of the Holy Light in Friedham.

And Areste joined through a local organization called the Mage Tower...

In Lin Mo's opinion, the two of them would never have taken on this kind of commission if it weren't for making money.

Of course, it's understandable to think this way, since he knows nothing about what the team is going to do.
