Chapter 574 Ghost Hound (Subscribe)
Jiang Feng blew the bullets coated with holy water dry and loaded them into the revolver. She also put the rapier back into the scabbard as a backup weapon.
After preparing for the battle, she searched for the ghost hound in the garden.
The heroine has the "perception" skill, and the perception attribute is quite high. It is like a human radar. Wherever she passes, any suspicious points cannot be hidden from her sixth sense.
After walking around the garden, Jiang Feng found two clues.
First, the ghost dog is hiding in the gardener's cabin.
In addition, it is amazing that this ghost dog can cast spells. "Magic alarms" are set under the cherry tree and at the door of the gardener's cabin.
If she approaches these two places within 60 feet, the alarm will be triggered and she will be attacked by the ghost dog!
Jiang Feng certainly does not want to fall into a passive position at the beginning.
In fact, she wants to create a situation that is favorable to her, try to lure out the ghost dog hiding in the dark, and then attack the opponent in turn.
"Hmm... I have a good idea!"
Jiang Feng's eyes lit up, and he turned back to the center of the garden. Across the flowerbed, he aimed his gun at the hound's grave under the cherry tree and pulled the trigger!
Bang!
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed over the garden.
Maids Annie and Lily were startled by the gunfire and looked out of the kitchen window in fear.
Jiang Feng waved at them without looking back.
"It's none of your business!"
The two maids quickly retracted their heads and whispered about the lady's strange temper.
The gunfire really alerted the ghost hound as Jiang Feng expected.
A looming black shadow passed through the closed door of the gardener's cabin and quickly rushed to the cherry tree.
Gao Fei, who was watching from a God's perspective, opened the star map to check the ghost hound named Bernie.

…
No wonder the ghost dog can set a magic alarm.
It turns out that it has mastered the "Sentinel" feat.
At the same time as the ghost dog appeared, Jiang Feng received a system prompt, requiring her to reduce the ghost dog's health to less than half to trigger the subsequent plot.
The ghost dog has 40 HP, and it seems simple to knock down at least 20 points, but it is not.
This guy's melee attack power is too strong, and it is a "contact" attack that ignores physical armor, and it also has a dark curse.
The melee risk is too great, so Jiang Feng hid behind the flowers, holding his breath and aiming at the ghost dog.
Bang!
The gunshot rang again.
Jiang Feng attacked first outside the ghost dog's field of vision and successfully launched a surprise attack.
The ghost dog that was attacked was caught off guard and lost its agility correction for defense.
Despite this, Jiang Feng still cheered excitedly for the successful hit of this shot.
"Oh yeah! Good luck!"
Yes, at her current level, it is definitely good luck to shoot the ghost dog.
Don't just look at the offensive and defensive data of both sides.
The ghost dog is a virtual undead creature with a 50% evasion rate. It is really difficult to hit it without a little luck!
Jiang Feng's shot, including the agility correction, caused a total of 12 points of damage to the ghost hound.
If nothing unexpected happens, as long as one or two more shots are hit, its health will be reduced to less than 20 points.
The start is good, but Jiang Feng doesn't want to gamble.
After a shot hit, she decisively ran away!
In the next round, she attacked first again.
This time the ghost dog was already on guard and got rid of the "unprepared" debuff.
Bang!
Jiang Feng shot back.
The bullet passed through the ghost dog's illusory body and sank into the grass.
It was normal that it didn't hit.
After adjusting her mentality, Jiang Feng continued to run wildly.
At this time, she and the ghost dog had opened a straight-line distance of about 100 feet.
The ghost dog let out a silent roar, like a black mist, rushing over quickly.
Jiang Feng retreated 30 feet and fired again, but unfortunately he still missed.
In this way, the distance between the two sides kept getting closer while running and fighting.
During this period, Jiang Feng fired two more shots, but still missed.
Jiang Feng's moving distance per round was 30 feet.
The ghost dog's moving distance was 50 feet.
The two sides were about 100 feet apart at first, and it was shortened by 20 feet per round.
If the fight continued like this, Jiang Feng would be close to the ghost dog in two rounds at most.
With her current pitiful health, if she was bitten by the ghost dog, she would most likely fall to the ground on the spot!
In front was the gardener's cabin, and further away was the wall.
There was no point in climbing over the wall.
The ghost dog could not only fly, but also pass through walls.
After observing the terrain, Jiang Feng had an idea and ran straight to the cabin, opened the door, entered the house, and closed the door.
Before the ghost dog caught up, she used her only skill, the 0-ring "Dancing Light Technique", to illuminate the cabin.
Gao Fei nodded secretly.
Comrade Xiao Jiang was very calm and made the right decision.
The ghost dog has the weakness of "sensitive to strong light".
Once it chases into the wooden house and is exposed to strong light, its combat effectiveness will be weakened.
Of course, this does not mean that Jiang Feng will win.
It can only be said that after creating a more favorable battlefield environment for herself, she still has a chance to fight, otherwise she will not even be qualified to fight with the ghost dog!
As for whether she can pass the level in one go, it still depends on the decision of the dice god.
In the game world, God really rolls dice!
Jiang Feng is not just waiting for the enemy to come.
She stared at the wooden door, her mind turning quickly.
Of course, she knew that the wooden door could not stop the virtual undead.
But what if holy water was sprinkled on the door?
Thinking of this, she unscrewed the holy water bottle and poured half of the holy water evenly on the inside of the wooden door.
As soon as she put the remaining half of the holy water back into her bag, she felt the strong negative energy seeping in through the crack of the door. She shuddered and quickly drew her rapier, ready to fight.
The ghost dog really went through the door in a straight line and appeared in front of the girl.
At the same time, the ghost dog inevitably stained the holy water on the door that had not dried yet, and its real and illusory body ignited a glow like a white flame.
The trap set by Jiang Feng on a whim caused 7 points of damage to the ghost dog.
Because of the holy water on its body, the ghost dog's virtual avoidance characteristics were also suppressed in this round.
In addition, due to being illuminated by the "Dancing Light Technique", the ghost dog's attack check also had a disadvantage, and its attempt to bite Jiang Feng failed.
Next, it was the critical moment to decide the winner!
