Only when the few monsters showed up did Pan Liang catch sight of their appearance. They were red-eyed rabbits that were at least half a meter tall.
Their eyes were suffused with red light. When they saw Shirley, they immediately jumped and pounced on her.
Shirley was an SSS-rank contract owner. Considering how poor she was right now, she might not even be able to afford the fees for learning magic.
She had secretly learned a few simple spells. Her magic perception was very sensitive, so she could often master the spells simply by watching other people cast spells.
Nevertheless, she could not master complicated spells purely by sight. As a result, she only knew a few simple spells.
Given that Shirley was at Level 13, dealing with those small red-eyed rabbits would be a piece of cake..
She dealt with those rabbits by applying the Fireball Skill and the Icicle Skill.
Then, she chose a few pieces of nice meat and cut them off with her dagger. Now, her dinner was settled.
“Look, I got the red-eyed rabbit meat. I’ll roast the meat tonight, but there’s none for you.”
Pan Liang opened his eyes reluctantly and shot a look in Shirley’s direction. He was not looking at her but the new creature that appeared behind her.
It was a wolf that was about the same height as Shirley.
At this moment, Shirley felt the magic wave behind her as well. She swung around and was shocked to see a giant wolf.
Wolves lived in packs. Since she encountered this wolf, it probably meant that she had already been surrounded by a pack of wolves.
Shirley glanced around. Fortunately, there was only one wolf in the vicinity.
“Pan Liang, get up quickly. I can’t beat this giant wolf. Quick.”
Shirley kept calling out to Pan Liang, but he did not move at all.
Pan Liang was already prepared in a place where Shirley could not see. A blade of grass stood up in front of the giant wolf. Once Shirley was in danger, this blade of grass would pierce through the giant wolf’s head in an instant.
However, Shirley did not choose to fight the giant wolf. When she saw that Pan Liang remained still, she gritted her teeth and waved the meat in her hand at the giant wolf.
“Hey, Big Dog. The meat you want is in my hands. Hurry up and come after me.”
The giant wolf was a very powerful monster. It could understand human language despite not being able to speak it.
Being called a big dog by a human, the giant wolf could not help but dashed to Shirley.
When Shirley saw the giant wolf dashing toward her, she immediately cast the Light-Body Spell and the Haste Spell on its body.
At this moment, she was actually slightly faster than the giant wolf.
Shirley successfully lured the giant wolf away. Pan Liang was a little touched when he saw this scene.
“Shirley is such a good-hearted person. But if she keeps doing this, she definitely won’t live long. Without me, what will happen to her in the future?”
As he spoke, Pan Liang chased after Shirley. With her speed, he did not have to worry about her being caught by the wolf.
He thought of helping her when she was about to run out of energy. However, he certainly could not help her using his powerful identity. He had to use an average identity instead.
Shirley, who was running away, suddenly noticed another strong magic wave in front of her. It was similar to the giant wolf behind her.
Shirley thought to herself. ‘I’m doomed. I won’t be able to run away.’
Sure enough, the giant wolf was about the same size as the one behind her.
‘I’m doomed. I’m surrounded by wolves.’
However, the next moment, Shirley noticed a sense of astonishment in the wolves’ gazes. Only then did it hit her that the two giant wolves were not from the same wolf pack.
According to the size of these wolves, they should be the wolf kings in the two respective wolf packs. At this moment, they coincidentally bumped into each other.
The two giant wolves bared their teeth and roared at each other before they looked at Shirley at the same time.
They actually reached a consensus and decided to kill Shirley together. After that, they would fight to decide the ownership of the food.
When both the giant wolves pounced on Shirley at the same time, she shouted, “No!”
Amid her shout, she did not stop moving.
With the help of acceleration, she successfully dodged the attacks of the giant wolves.
After dodging the attack, she fought with the giant wolves using her speed.
She knew that speed alone was not enough. She knew very well how much endurance she had. If she relied solely on her speed, she would surely be swallowed by the giant wolves in the end.
Thus, she began to counterattack by casting her skills while constantly moving around.
Although the power of her skills was not too strong, each hit could still cause the giant wolves to bleed.
Seeing that the giant wolves were bleeding and injured, Shirley felt more confident.
“Hahaha, you two big dogs. Watch how I’ll be dealing with you.”
Just as she was feeling smug, she accidentally tripped on the grass.
The giant wolves were overjoyed at the scene and rushed over at the same time.
Bang! The giant wolves’ heads collided.
Shirley took the opportunity to escape this attack. The giant wolves got up and roared at each other as if they were communicating.
Then, they turned their heads to stare at Shirley. Instead of running away, Shirley tried to think of a way to deal with them.
“Hmm, this little girl is pretty good. Under such circumstances, she did not run away but tried to think of a way to deal with them.”
“If this goes on, the only outcome will be to die with dignity.”
Pan Liang kept complaining about Shirley’s reaction to the situation, but he did not show up to help her.
Although he was her familiar, he could not stay by her side all the time unless he were a pet familiar that had yet to develop his intelligence.
As for intelligent familiars of the opposite sex, they would feel uncomfortable during their private time regardless of their species.
A familiar like Pan Liang who was a normal human could not possibly stay by Shirley’s side all the time.
Shirley would face danger one day. Pan Liang did not want her to drag him down during his fight.
Such a scenario would be too melodramatic.
In this world, it was typical of a familiar to be stronger than their contract owners. Therefore, people would usually skip the familiar and attack their contract owner instead.
Pan Liang thought that he could train Shirley to be an expert. In that case, the attacker would ignore him and attack Shirley straight away. Shirley could then directly slap the attacker to death. How awesome!
“I shouldn’t step up and help. I just shouldn’t. If I do, Shirley will rely on me in the future.”
“Hey, this fireball is really great. It directly smashed into the wolf king’s mouth. The wolf king must be having a tough time.”
Pan Liang felt a little dissatisfied just by watching on, so he exchanged popcorn from the store in the system.
