'I'm saved!'
This was the first thought that rose in Char's mind.
The Lantern Firefly's Challenge Level reached 2, which, although considered an insignificant minor monster or trash mob in gas or other fantasy adventures, here, it was certainly a powerful Demon Beast.
To Char, it even qualified as a formidable guard.
The combat capabilities of the Lantern Firefly were much stronger than those of the Star Worm, and stronger than the black spider that had attacked him.
Even though the spider was fierce, the Star Worm could bump it backwards under fierce collisions, indicating that its strength was limited, with a maximum Challenge Level of only 1. Under the supervision of the Lantern Firefly, it could hardly stir up any trouble.
'From now on, starting a fire will be easy, no more need for friction fires!'
This was the second thought that rose in Char's mind.
Being a transmigrator for only a few days, he had already grown exceedingly frustrated with the trouble of striking the flint countless tis for every fire starting, each ti having to strike until his hands felt sore and his head swollen to successfully ignite the tinder.
Now, with the Lantern Firefly, if he ever needed to start a fire again, he rely needed to let the Lantern Firefly gently swing the "lantern" it held, which was even more convenient than a lighter.
While Char was wildly imagining, the ethereal green ghost fire that wafted around was summoned by the lantern in the hands of the Lantern Firefly, drawn into the lantern like scattered green fla candles.
The large spider clearly sensed the threat. It no longer focused on continuing its attack on Char; it imdiately moved as if it were a shadowy figure running along eaves, reaching the window in the blink of an eye.
But at that mont, the Lantern Firefly swung its lantern again, throwing the just absorbed green ghost fire back out.
This green ghost fire, as if equipped with a tracking system, followed the spider relentlessly no matter how it tried to flee, tracing a lively and intricate trajectory in the dark room. The flas hit the spider before it could escape through the window.
When the ghost fire hit its target, it dispersed like green fireflies, and amidst the spreading green flas, the large spider issued a miserable shriek.
A perfect case of using one's own thods against them!
Char was dazzled and spellbound.
However, the vitality of the large spider was beyond expectations; it did not die despite successive severe damages and, enduring the agonizing pain, it continued to flee.
For the spider, as long as it could escape the carriage and burrow into the forest, there was still a sliver of a chance to live!
But at that mont, the Lantern Firefly fully demonstrated its veteran warrior characteristics. It didn't wait for the spider to jump out of the window but had already launched a series of attacks.
A stream of fireflies crossed, a red light moving faster than the earlier flas, surged from the right window and instantly crossed inside the carriage.
Like a streak of red light, it traversed the carriage.
With a 'thud,' a dull sound.
Before Char could even see what exactly happened, the large spider was already pinned against the wooden wall.
In its crazy shrieking and struggling, the eight long legs of the large spider just frantically twitched a bit before soon lying still.
It was only by then that Char clearly saw the system introduction that surfaced on the large spider.
[Green Skull Ghost Spider]
[Skills]: Spit Silk (0 Circle), Poison Fang Invasion (0 Circle), Green Ghost Phosphorus Fire (1 Circle)
[Challenge Level]: 1
[Introduction]: Among the most common Primary Killers in the Florence Forest, the Green Skull Ghost Spider lurks by day and hunts at night, cunning by nature, preferring to attack its prey during the night. Besides using its poisonous fangs and spitting webs to trap its prey, it can also emit skull-shaped dismal green ghost fires, making it a highly efficient hunter. If you unluckily encounter a Green Skull Ghost Spider in the night woods, pray to the Moonlight Goddess Bai Ying or the Forest Goddess likai!
Compared to the Star Worm, this Green Skull Ghost Spider's system introduction lacks detailed data on attributes, Life Value, and Magic Power, but the Skills, Challenge Level, and Introduction are displayed, and the introduction is quite detailed.
However, Char's attention was not on this; his attention was completely drawn by two pieces of information indirectly revealed by the system.
First, Florence Forest.
Having transmigrated for several days now, he had always been unaware of how large this forest was or what it was called.
There had finally been progress. It turned out that the forest was called "Florence Forest".
But that was not the main point. The secondary crucial piece of information revealed in the introduction was about the Moonlight Goddess Bai Ying and Forest Goddess likai.
This world indeed had divine beings!
And it truly was a DND world!
He was unfamiliar with the na Moonlight Goddess Bai Ying, but the na Forest Goddess likai was sowhat familiar to him.
She was the Forest Goddess from the pantheon of the Forgotten Realms.
However, all of these were still far away from him.
He had only illuminated the side of the valley at the foothills, and how far away he was from exploring the entire Florence Forest was unknown!
As for the gods?
That was an even more unreachable matter.
After quickly suppressing the surging thoughts in his mind, Char focused his attention on the Lantern Firefly.
Unlike the Star Worm, the Lantern Firefly resembled a humanoid Magic Pet more, although it had the head, body, wings, and limbs of an insect; its body structure was closer to that of humans, sowhat like a Pokémon—Amp Amplifikriket.
However, compared to Amp Amplifikriket, the Lantern Firefly was more slender and had a colder deanor with a brighter red surface. The firelight that shone on it looked like overflowing red fire.
The Lantern Firefly was twenty centiters long, not only far exceeding the Star Worm but also sowhat bigger than the Green Skull Ghost Spider.
Its mbranous wings vibrated rapidly behind it, like two dark red shadows, allowing the Lantern Firefly to hover in mid-air.
However, the most eye-catching part of the Lantern Firefly was its two hands.
The end of its left hand had morphed into a chain-like structure that hung downward; the chain resembled the antennae of a longhorn beetle—segnted, thicker at the top and slightly thinner at the bottom.
At the bottom, a spherical hollow lantern was hanging, inside which a candle-like red fla burned quietly. The previously attracted Green Ghost Phosphorus Fire was rging with the candle fla, tinting the red fla with flecks of phosphorus green.
There was a protrusion on the back of the Lantern Firefly's right hand, embedded with a needle that emitted a blazing red glow, resembling an antique stabbing sword.
It was this stabbing sword that had pierced the body of the Green Skull Ghost Spider, nailing it to the wooden board.
Of course, the fact that the Lantern Firefly could kill the Green Skull Ghost Spider with one sword strike was also greatly aided by that strike of "Red Firefly Light".
With a lantern in one hand and a sword in the other, the Lantern Firefly seed like a night watchman in the forest at night, guarding the safety of the night.
At this mont, Char finally rembered sothing: the situation of the Star Worm was still unclear!
Just now, the Star Worm had collided fiercely with the Green Skull Ghost Spider in order to save him. Although its Defense Value was high, the gap in strength with the Green Skull Ghost Spider was evident. After such a fierce collision, who knew if it had been injured?
Char quickly went forward to check.
Fortunately, by then the Star Worm had also regained its strength, emitting a faint light and shakily rising back into the air, flying towards Char.
Char imdiately summoned the panel of the Star Worm—obviously, checking the panel was more telling than using the naked eye.
[Star Worm]
[Attributes]: Strength 3, Defense 25, Agility 18, Constitution 7, Intelligence 8, Perception 12
[Life Value]: 68/72
[Magic Power]: 3/7
[Skills]: Blazing Light (1st Circle)
[Challenge Level]: 1/4
[Introduction]: In order to protect its master, the Star Worm had exceeded its limits, and its strength had increased. It was no longer the weakest existence in the forest. However, this was not very impressive—as now the Star Worm still appeared as food in the eyes of other Demon Beasts.
