Somewhere in the forest –

Icarus flew through the forest with a watermelon in his arms. Her movements were steady, as if she was afraid of disturbing something. In fact, it is.

In front of her was a fluffy yellow chick, completely unaware of the "hunter" chasing her behind her, strolling leisurely among the trees. One moment I looked left and one drill into the grass, and the other time I looked at eating two earthworms or something.

Suddenly, a bloody jaw burst out of the grass, and it turned out to be a beast resembling a weasel.

The chick was stunned and spun around in a panic, still swallowed by the weasel in one gulp.

Icarus was stunned.

Her gaze kept moving over where the chick was and the weasel's chewing mouth.

The weasel raised its neck and burped contentedly.

Icarus' expression changed. Her eyes shone red.

That's not an adjective. Rather, Icarus switched to combat mode.

"Unforgivable."

The half-constricted wings behind Icarus stretched out, and between the fluttering and falling pieces of fluorescent feathers, six permanent rear-end air-to-air missiles struck ferociously.

Weasel was stunned. Stared blankly at the missiles that rapidly zoomed in on its field of vision.

And then—

"Boom ——!"

There is a scene that Zhou Yao saw......

At the same time, near the edge of the mountains of the forest. There are also two figures in the chase.

The one chasing after her was Atalanta, who was armed with a blackstone longbow and shot arrows as she ran.

Its power fell on the rock, and it exploded into a crater, and more arrows were directed at another figure in front of it.

It was a creature that looked like an ostrich, with its slender and powerful feet running fast on the rocky ground, far faster than a 100-meter trapeze.

Faced with arrows from all angles, its small head showed a rich expression.

In an instant, the arrow pierced the ostrich.

It was also at this moment that the ostrich's body collapsed like yellow sand, revealing its true body inside.

It turned out to be a small black pterosaur.

With the advantage of its size, it deftly dodges all arrows. Even if Atalanta used magic to change the trajectory of the arrow, it would be too late.

The little pterosaur burrowed into the forest area in front of it like a black arc of electricity.

"Don't try to escape from my palm today!"

Atalanta's gaze froze, and her body leaped into the forest like a cheetah.

"My name is Atalanta, and I will be the wind after me, and I will come from behind!"

Skill Activation - The Aesthetics of Pursuit!

The effect is to give the enemy a first move, and then you can preemptively act after confirming the enemy's actions.

Even if it's a race, she's sure to let her opponent run first. To put it bluntly, it is the ability to be the last to come, the first to come.

Atalanta, whose real body is a famous huntress in Greek mythology. He was a devoted follower of the goddess Artemis. Not only does she have top-notch movement speed, but she also has excellent bow skills. In addition, he is an excellent hunter, and the "aesthetics of pursuit" is one of its most direct embodiments.

Whoever is targeted by Atalanta's prey will not want to escape from her palm.

Between the trees, Atalanta runs and jumps, as if she were walking in her own back garden, her body light and agile.

But in the eyes of the little pterodactyl, it was bloodthirsty and wild, full of oppression.

Seeing that he couldn't escape the pursuit, the little pterosaur quickly changed his body, transformed into a gopher and fell to the ground, raised his claws to dig the soil in one go, and burrowed into the ground in a blink of an eye.

"You can't escape!"

Atalanta sneered, drawing her bow almost full of strings and letting it go.

The arrow disappeared into the hole with unparalleled force, followed by a sudden explosion that splashed countless sands.

"Roaring ——!"

It was a real dragon groan, filled with an emotion called annoyance.

Undoubtedly, the little pterosaur that turned into a gopher was blasted off the ground by the arrow, regained its form and roared towards Atalanta.

"Oh? It's a bit backbone, and you want to ...... with me."

Atalanta's expression of surprise gave her mouth appreciative...... It's not done yet.

I saw the little pterosaur turn around and run away after roaring.

Atalanta's face immediately darkened.

This stinky lizard is actually playing tricks on her!

In a fit of rage, Atalanta unleashed her Noble Phantasm.

- "AgriusMetamorphose!!"

A pitch-black fur draped over Atalanta's body, changing in an instant to form a set of leather clothes.

The head of the huge boar sat on her shoulder, adding to the vicious and ferocious aura.

It was also at this moment that Atalanta's hair changed color, turning into a triple color of gray and purple gray as if it had withered.

Legend has it that there was a wild boar in Calydon, who had a mountain-like body and was ferocious and brutal. When many warriors went to fight it, Atalanta was the first to shoot it with an arrow. After the death of Calydon's boar, Atalanta also got its fur and head.

By wrapping its skin around its body, it can obtain the power of demonic beasts. With this, Atalanta incarnated as a demon, and her combat power increased greatly.

"Kill you."

Atalanta's face was grim, and her hideous pupils locked onto the figure of her prey. At that moment, its form disappeared from the branches.

The little pterosaur was so frightened that his soul was about to fly, and the speed of his wings suddenly increased several times, and he desperately fled into the distance.

However, with the "aesthetics of pursuit", it is impossible for Atalanta to lose its goal.

Even if the little pterosaur transforms into the appearance of other creatures, using terrain and confusing vision, it still can't get rid of Atalanta's pursuit.

My life is at rest!

The little pterodactyl's heart must have collapsed at this moment.

"Die."

Eventually, Atalanta caught up.

She leapt from the tree, flicked her fur-wrapped paws and smashed them down.

"Bang!"

A deep crater was smashed into the ground. The wind pressure of the shock blew away the fallen leaves.

Immediately after the mutation!

The ground shook violently at Atalanta's feet, and a large dirty hand rose from the ground and grabbed at her.

Atalanta raised her fist and swung her arm, easily breaking up her big hand.

At the same moment, a black shadow flew out of the earth and fled into the distance.

Tauropolos!

The pitch-black longbow fell into Atalanta's hands, and she drew her bow and fired six or seven arrows in one go.

The power of each arrow increases dramatically, and it blasts trees to ashes in an instant.

Strangely, even then did not see anywhere burning. All sparks were extinguished by an invisible force the moment they were born.

The little pterosaur dodged left and right, using trees as shields, and could survive this wave of arrows.

"Ahhh Kill you! ”

Atalanta roared wildly and rushed in the direction of the little pterodactyl's escape.
