Jiang Feng dried the bullets coated with holy water, loaded them into the revolver, and put the rapier back into its scabbard as a backup weapon.
Ready for battle, she searched the garden for traces of the ghost hound.
The heroine has her own "perception" skill, and her perception attribute is very high. She is like a humanoid radar. Wherever she passes, any doubts cannot be hidden by 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, a very magical thing is that this ghost dog can actually cast spells. "Magic alarms" are set up under the cherry tree and at the door of the gardener's cabin.
If she comes within 60 feet of these two locations, the alarm will be triggered and she will be attacked by ghost dogs!
Jiang Feng certainly didn't want to fall into a passive position at the beginning.
In fact, she wants to create a situation that is favorable to herself, try to lure out the ghost dog hiding in the dark, and then attack the opponent.
"Hmm... I have a good idea!"
Jiang Feng's eyes lit up, he turned back to the center of the garden, across the flower bed, raised his gun and aimed at the hound grave under the cherry tree, and pulled the trigger!
boom!
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed over the garden.
The maids Anne and Lily were alerted by the gunshots and stuck their heads out of the kitchen window to watch in horror.
Jiang Feng waved to them without looking back.
"None of your business!"
The two maids quickly withdrew their heads and whispered about the young lady's strange temper.
The sound of the gunshot did what Jiang Feng expected, arousing the vigilance of the ghost hound.
A looming black shadow passed directly through the closed door of the gardener's cabin and quickly rushed towards the cherry tree.
Gao Fei, who was watching from God's perspective, opened the astrolabe to see the ghost hound named Bernie.

…
No wonder ghost dogs set magical alarms.
It turned out that he had mastered the specialty of "Sentinel".
At the same time as the ghost dog appeared, Jiang Feng received a system prompt asking her to reduce the ghost dog's health to less than half before triggering the subsequent plot.
The ghost dog has 40 HP points, and it needs to be destroyed by at least 20 points. It seems simple, but it is not.
This guy's melee attack power is too strong, and it's a "contact" attack that ignores physical armor, and it also comes with a necrotic curse.
The risk of close combat was too great, so Jiang Feng hid behind the flowers, held his breath and concentrated, and raised his gun to aim at the ghost dog.
boom!
Gunfire rang out again.
Jiang Feng attacked first outside the sight of the ghost dog and successfully launched a surprise attack.
The ghost dog that was attacked was caught off guard, and its defense lost its agility correction.
Despite this, Jiang Feng cheered excitedly for the successful hit of the shot.
"Oh yeah! Good luck!"
Yes, at her current level, shooting the ghost dog is definitely considered good luck.
Don't just look at the offensive and defensive data of both sides.
The ghost dog is an incorporeal undead creature with a 50% evasion rate. Without any good luck, it is really difficult to hit!
Jiang Feng's shot was counted as 1d6 sneak attack damage, causing a total of 12 points of damage to the ghost hound.
If nothing else goes wrong, just one or two more shots will reduce its health to less than 20 points.
The game started well, but Jiang Feng didn't want to gamble.
After one shot hit, he decisively ran away!
In the next round, she was the first to attack again.
This time, the ghost dog was on guard and got rid of the "unprepared" debuff.
boom!
Jiang Feng shot back.
The bullet passed through the ghost dog's illusory body and disappeared into the grass.
Missing a hit is completely normal.
After adjusting his mentality, Jiang Feng continued to run wildly.
At this time, she and the ghost dog were already about 100 feet apart in a straight line.
The ghost dog roared silently, like a black mist, and rushed over quickly.
Jiang Feng stepped back 30 feet and fired again, but unfortunately he still missed.
Just running and fighting like this, the distance between the two sides kept getting closer.
During this period, Jiang Feng fired two more shots, but still failed to hit any of them.
Jiang Feng's movement distance per round is 30 feet.
The ghost dog's movement range is 50 feet.
The two sides were initially about a hundred feet apart, shortening by 20 feet each round.
If the fight continues like this, in at most two rounds, Jiang Feng will be attacked by the ghost dog.
With her current pitiful health points, if she is bitten by a ghost dog, there is a high probability that she will rush to the street on the spot!
Ahead is the gardener's cabin, and beyond that is the wall.
There is no point in going outside the wall.
Not only can ghost dogs fly, they can also walk through walls.
After observing the terrain, Jiang Feng had an idea and ran straight to the wooden house, opened the door, entered the house, and closed the door smoothly.
Before the ghost dog could catch up, she used the only 0-level "Dancing Lights" skill she was good at, lighting up the cabin brightly.
Gao Fei nodded secretly.
Comrade Xiao Jiang was very calm and made a correct decision.
Ghost dogs have the weakness of "strong light sensitivity".
Once you chase into a wooden house and are exposed to strong light, your combat effectiveness will be weakened.
Of course, this does not mean that Jiang Feng will definitely win.
It can only be said that after creating a battlefield environment that is more favorable to herself, at least she will still have the strength to fight, otherwise she will not even be qualified to risk her life with the ghost dog!
As for whether you can pass the level in one go, you still have to leave it to the dice master to make the decision.
In the game world, God really knows how to throw dice!
Jiang Feng didn't just sit around and wait for enemies to come.
She stared at the wooden door, her mind racing.
Of course she knew that wooden doors could not stop the incorporeal undead.
But what would happen if the door was sprinkled with holy water?
With this in mind, she unscrewed the bottle of holy water and poured half of the bottle of holy water evenly on the inside of the wooden door.
As soon as she put the remaining half bottle of holy water back into her bag, she felt strong negative energy seeping in through the crack in the door. She couldn't help but shudder, and quickly pulled out her rapier and prepared herself.
As expected, the ghost dog walked through the door along a straight line and appeared opposite the girl.
At the same time, the ghost dog was inevitably contaminated by the wet holy water on the door, and its real and illusory body ignited like a white flame.
Jiang Feng's improvised trap caused 7 points of damage to the ghost dog.
Due to the holy water on his body, the ghost dog's incorporeal avoidance characteristics are also suppressed in the current round.
In addition, because it was under the light of the "Dancing Lights", the ghost dog's attack roll also had a disadvantage, and its attempt to bite Jiang Feng failed.
Next, is the critical moment to determine the winner!
