Somewhere in the forest.

In the destroyed round pit, a dirt bag slowly bulges.

Then the little pterosaur poked its head out of it, looked left and right to make sure that there was no one, and then flew into the sky.

It didn't turn its head back and flew straight in the direction of the mountains.

……

Atalanta shook her head to make herself more sober, and dragged her tired and somewhat weak body to Zhou Yao and the others.

Icarus didn't hesitate to dodge to block her path, her flickering red eyes meant she could enter the fight at any moment.

"Icarus."

Zhou Yao called softly, shook his head at Icarus, and then looked at Atalanta, who was walking over.

At this time, he had already released the power of the dragon and exited the dragon state.

"Looks like we're finally able to sit down and talk."

"I'm really sorry, my previous state was a little uncontrollable."

Atalanta looked at Zhou Yao and Icarus, and opened her mouth with her apologies.

It seems that she still remembers what happened to the demon when she turned into a demon.

Knowing this, Zhou Yao also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that there is a memory, things become simpler.

The other party's current attitude is the best proof of this.

"It's easy to say, my name is Zhou Yao." Zhou Yao was the first to introduce himself.

Since the other party has apologized, there is no need for him to be held responsible. Neither side suffered much anyway. It's like not knowing each other.

"I'm Atalanta. One of the guardians of this forest. Atalanta said generously. The straightforward attitude is the same as before.

"Uh, Guardian...... This. ”

Zhou Yao twitched the corners of his mouth twice, and his eyes couldn't help but glance around.

In the previous battle between the two, this neighborhood was destroyed to the point of inconsistency. Half of it is the "credit" of Atalanta.

Atalanta also saw the tragic situation around her, and her pretty face immediately spread red. The beast's ears on the top of her head twitched, and she looked very cute.

"It was just an accident, wasn't it?"

Pretend to cough. Atalanta is absolutely stupid.

"Well, it was an accident." Zhou Yao grinned.

As for Atalanta's identity, he had already guessed a little.

The person who can freely use his abilities in the Forest of Archers is most likely the owner here. Coupled with the fact that he can be on an equal footing with Icarus, his identity is almost ready to be revealed.

A famous huntress in Greek mythology, she is now a free Atalanta.

"And let that damn stink lizard escape."

Atalanta jumped to change the subject, looking down at Zhou Yao's feet.

There were scattered with hard clods of earth that the little pterosaurs had turned into.

"Do you know where it came from?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yao's expression became much more serious.

"Well, a stinky lizard looking for death. Sneaked in once before, and was eventually escaped by it. I didn't expect to dare to come today. ”

Atalanta said with a tone of hatred. It seems that he is full of resentment towards the little pterosaur.

"Can you tell me more about it? Actually, I used to ......"

Immediately, Zhou Yao briefly said what he had encountered with the Black Fire Dragon before.

"That young dragon of the Al family? I do. According to your description, it should be the stinky lizard. That stink lizard is different from other dragon species, it does not have strong ** and strength, but it can change shapes, and it can also connect to the earth to shape various 'shells'. Born to be a sinister thing to hide in the shadows. ”

"The Black Fire Dragon form you see is its most common method. The same trick I used the last time I slipped in. Atalanta sneered.

"So it's alive."

After listening to Atalanta's story, Zhou Yao finally knew why there was only one piece of earth and stone at that time.

"That's right. It was still the main body when I hunted it down...... Damn, it must have been that time, deliberately provoking me into using the 'Pig of Divine Punishment'. That stinky lizard! ”

Atalanta seemed to think of something, and the expression on her face twisted and turned, from anger to regret and then to even greater anger.

"Since it's still here, there's still a chance to catch it. Maybe it's coming for me this time. ”

Zhou Yao hurriedly comforted Atalanta to calm down.

"No, that's not a good thing to say. The last time the stink lizard came to the temple. But what you say makes sense, don't mind if I go with you for a while. ”

After frowning and thinking, Atalanta raised her pretty face and asked Zhou Yao.

Now that he has lost his target, instead of looking aimlessly, it is better to follow Zhou Yao with a greater chance.

"No problem. It's just that I still have to continue hunting, and after such a long delay, my results are estimated to be at the bottom. ”

Zhou Yao put the special dagger in his hand and played with it a few times, and confirmed the time again.

Thankfully, only a third of the game has passed, so there's plenty of time left.

"I'm so sorry. It's all my reason. ”

Atalanta apologized again, a little embarrassed.

In the final analysis, she launched an attack on Zhou Yao indiscriminately.

"It doesn't matter. Just let me know that the lizard was here, too. Zhou Yao said truthfully.

So, Atalanta temporarily joined Zhou Yao's queue.

"Speaking of which, this one next to you is also a heroic spirit, which angel is it?"

At the beginning of the journey, Atalanta asked curiously.

Icarus's appearance, anyone who looks at it will think of angels first. In addition, Atalanta has a deep understanding of her strength, and is even more curious about her true identity. I didn't ask because the timing was wrong.

"She's Icarus." Zhou Yao introduced.

"Icarus!?" Atalanta was surprised.

She was born in Greek mythology, and naturally heard of the "Icarus" of the same system.

"No, not the one you know...... It's not something that can be explained in one sentence, you just have to have the same name. Zhou Yao explained.

This Icarus is not the other "Icarus", otherwise the [Divinity] skill will not have a "pseudo" word after it.

Seeing that Zhou Yao didn't want to elaborate, Atalanta didn't ask.

In order to express her apologies, she appropriately helped Zhou Yao in the next hunt.

For example, as the owner of the Archer Forest, Atalanta knows the environment of the forest very well. Another example is that she will also be a very good hunter, who can teach Zhou Yao a lot of experience and skills that are conducive to hunting.

Combining these two points, Zhou Yao's hunting journey can be described as smooth sailing, and the result is twice as effective with half the effort.

Time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon.

The hunt was halfway through the hunt.

Along the way, although Zhou Yao and the three of them tried to find the traces of the little pterosaur, they unfortunately never found anything.

"Huh? Wrong. ”

In the middle of walking, Atalanta suddenly stopped. (To be continued.) )
