Having had enough of walking slowly with Lindis, Claude decided to go ahead and see what was going on.

"Since it should be in front, then I'll go to the front first, if I can find something, then it's best, and if I don't find anything, I'll come back, so that it will save a lot of time than walking slowly with this woman?"

Thinking so, Claude turned around and said hello to Lindis, and then ran forward. As a two-star high-level hunter, Claude was very agile and quickly left Lindis behind.

"That...... Mr. Claude, please don't go too fast......"

When Lindis saw Claude's sudden sped up, she tried to dissuade her. However, before he finished speaking, Claude had already left a considerable distance, and in desperation, Lindis had to put the notebook in her hand into her crossbody bag, and then speed up and rush forward, but as a researcher who often stayed in the library, Lindis could not keep up with Claude's pace in this complex valley anyway.

In this way, the distance between the two became farther and farther apart, and even Lindis could no longer see Claude's back.

After advancing some distance like this, Claude suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some huge footprints on the ground that he had never seen before, and as a two-star high-level hunter, his keen intuition made him stop.

Claude's extensive hunting experience allowed him to discern the footprints of most of his prey, so Claude, who felt that it was likely to be a clue, leaned down and began to carefully identify the traces left on the damp soil.

"Hmm...... It is indeed a footprint that has never been seen before, and there is a high probability that it is a mysterious monster to be found this time. And judging from the size of the footprints, it should be a monster with the size of a flying dragon, and the shape is also very close to the dragon-type monster, but there are some different characteristics that are enough to distinguish it from the previous monster footprints...... Could it be that this mysterious creature is a dragon? ”

"Anyway, I finally found a clue. Since the footprints can be found, and they are so clear, the prey this time must be around here! ”

Claude was a little irritated by the lack of luck these days, but the information he found at this moment still made Claude excited at once.

"It's really worth the effort, judging from the direction of the footprints, the prey this time should be to the right......"

However, just as Claude was concentrating on identifying the footprints on the ground and preparing to follow them in search of his prey, Claude suddenly heard a familiar voice in the distance.

"Be careful!"

"Careful?"

Claude doesn't think that any monster can easily attack him, not to mention that from the current situation, this monster should be very large, and it is more difficult for a monster with a large size to hide his body, and if he is close, it is impossible for him not to notice it.

So although I heard the sound of warning, I still had the heart of "Is there an enemy?" There aren't any big monsters around here, are they? As for those small monsters, they can't pose a threat to me at all......" Claude hesitated slightly.

The hesitation lasted less than a second, which was nothing to ordinary people, but at this moment, it became a fatal mistake. By the time Claude, who had leaned down to identify his footprints, was about to stand up to guard his surroundings, a golden butterfly-like creature half the size of a human had approached Claude.

"There are enemies!"

The change in the air flow behind him still made Claude notice the direction of the danger this time, so Claude immediately turned around, ready to deal with the situation that could happen at any time.

However, after all, it was still a step too late, and at the moment when Claude turned around, there was a bang, and the flames of the explosion hit with a shock wave, causing Claude to fall to the ground at once......

……

Nearly three hours had passed since they entered the danger zone, and Wen Long and Catherine were still speeding up to catch up with Claude and Lindis in front of them, but judging from the increasingly clear footprints on the ground, Wen Long was sure that he was not far from where Claude was.

At this time, the keen Wenlong seemed to see something approaching his side in front of him, but because of the obstruction of trees and terrain, he didn't see it very clearly.

"What's that? Meow? ”

So Wen Long climbed a big tree beside him, ready to use the advantage of the high place to discern what was going on, but only halfway up, Wen Long had clearly seen the scene happening in the distance.

"Huh? Isn't that kid named Claude? ”

In the distance was a young woman wearing glasses, her hair was dark green as if it had been dyed by green herbs, and she was carrying a crossbody bag, and she was desperately running towards Wenlong.

Behind the woman, a golden, butterfly-like creature was chasing after her. And it's obvious that this butterfly-like flying creature is faster, and the distance between the two is getting closer.

"Woman, get ready, someone is in danger! Meow! Wen Long immediately said to Catherine, and at the same time jumped down from the tree, and then sped up and ran in the direction of the woman. And Catherine on the ground immediately rushed forward at a speed of 100 meters, and at the same time one of her own hands was also on the hilt of the big sword, ready to draw her sword to deal with the enemy at any time.

The woman with the glasses was still running, but the rapid decline in her physical strength had significantly slowed her running speed, and her steps had become vain. And in this valley with complex terrain, the consequences of unsteady footing are often very serious.

Sure enough, the bespectacled woman ran a few more steps with all her might, and as soon as she stepped into the air, she fell to the dirt. And at this moment, the big golden butterfly has quickly approached!

"Don't!"

The bespectacled woman shouted.

However, just when the woman thought that she was about to be attacked by the big golden butterfly, an unfamiliar figure stepped over her body and blocked the path of the big golden butterfly.

"Go away!"

The figure who arrived in time was none other than Wen Long, and at the same time as he crossed over the woman with glasses, Wen Long's double knives had already struck, directly slashing at the wings of the big butterfly!

"Boom!"

The two wings of the big butterfly hit the ground in response, but at the same moment, the body of the big butterfly glowed golden.

"Woman, use a defensive stance!"

"Okay, Mr. Cat!"

At this time, Wen Long dragged the woman with glasses to retreat, and Catherine, who arrived one step later, rushed to the front, and then put the big sword in front of him, assuming a defensive posture.

At this time, the golden light on the body of the big butterfly that had already cut off its wings and struggled to fall to the ground became brighter and brighter, and after reaching its peak, it suddenly burst like a bomb, and the released fire and shock wave hit Wen Long and the others!
