I, with my frail and sickly body, simultaneously traverse hundreds of worlds.

In Greek mythology, what's more troublesome than a beautiful woman?

Beautiful goddesses, or rather, none of the goddesses are ugly; they all possess a beauty that transcends the mortal realm.

However, in contrast to the goddess's beauty was her pettiness and extremely arrogant personality.

In Greece, there are countless stories of mortals being praised for their beauty as comparable to that of goddesses, or even being turned into animals or cursed for glancing at a goddess.

It's a hassle.

Among them, Artemis, the moon goddess, is an even bigger problem. She is Zeus's most beloved daughter, having vowed to remain a virgin for life. Offending her would mean offending the entire Olympian pantheon.

This is a huge problem.

Gaining the favor of a goddess is not a good thing; you will be constantly harassed, and even after death, you will not be spared in the underworld. For all eternity, you will have no human rights and will be the possession of a goddess that you can never refuse.

Undoubtedly, the trouble is that the Lu IX instrument is too late to handle.

"That woman Hera rarely asks me for help, and I won't even allow Atalanta to bother her." The moon goddess murmured carefully, assuring him, "Don't worry, little Diomedes, I will teach you well to become a great hero."

I'd rather you let me go, and besides, I hate heroes...

If Atalanta knew this, would she become withdrawn?

"Lady Artemis, is the goal the same today?"

Bai Zhi took out a bow from the small pouch at her waist.

The bag is a storage bag. The day after he met the moon goddess, he woke up and took out his clothes (seven) and the seal (two) and the two kicks. The space treasure in his arms is a gift from Hera, judging from the mark engraved on the storage bag.

As for the reason, Bai Zhi didn't know. It was probably a gift he received when he met the Moon Goddess and agreed to receive her teachings.

The thought is terrifying, so I try not to think about it.

“That’s right, your foundation is very solid, but you lack inspiration. You give me the feeling that you have been instilled with skills by a god, but you have the form but not the spirit.”

Artemis raised the question about angelica, which startled him slightly. Then she smiled and said, "However, I have examined you. You do not have divine power. Your ability to manipulate light seems to be an innate talent. It seems that Hera has high hopes for you."

Artemis then used her divine power, and moonlight condensed into countless shimmering specks of light, covering half the lake's surface and still moving: "When you can hit all the specks of light with a single arrow, you will have succeeded."

She took out her natal artifact, a crescent-shaped bow taller than the moon goddess herself. She drew back the bowstring, and moonlight gathered into a moonlight arrow. Artemis then released the bowstring with perfect ease.

The moonlight arrow was shot out, and the moment it hit a spot of light, it changed direction and hit another spot of light. In this way, the arrow moved around on the surface of the lake until it hit all the spots of light and then pierced deeply into the stone on the opposite shore.

It combines skill and strength; this is the skill of the gods.

The Greek Runaway Prince: Chapter Five - The Cat's Fury at Atalanta

The newly risen warm sun slowly ascended, its rays piercing through the branches and leaves, shining on Atalanta's face, causing her to furrow her brows and slowly open her bewildered eyes.

In an instant, her confusion turned into determination. Atalanta quickly got up, looked at herself, and then looked around until she saw the white paper leaning against the tree trunk. Only then did she slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Could it be because I've been taking care of this guy? I've been too tired these past few days."

Atalanta was a little confused. Ever since she met Bai Zhi, she had been very sleepy after dinner and would not wake up until the next morning.

If she's too relaxed, what if her skills decline?

Clearly, Atalanta, who was forced into a deep sleep by her own god, will never be able to find the truth on her own.

Jumping down from the tree trunk, Atalanta kicked Bai Zhi, waking him from his sleep: "I discovered traces of a monster yesterday, and today's task is to find out its characteristics and weaknesses."

"Atalanta, you're getting a little impatient. Monsters aren't like ordinary wild beasts. Even if you're highly skilled, the chances of killing them in one hit are very low. Why don't you prepare some backup plans?"

Rubbing his eyes, Bai Zhi yawned. He had trained for a long time last night and didn't go to sleep until dawn. He had only slept two or three hours a day these days.

If it weren't for the fact that mental energy is also within the scope of sharing, and that he had only just begun to enter the inhuman realm, he definitely wouldn't have been able to endure it.

Atalanta gave him a deep look: "The flesh of magical beasts contains a lot of energy. After processing, eating it can quickly heal injuries."

"Uh." Bai Zhi was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "You don't want me anymore?"

"Finish the quest as soon as possible. I'm a forest hunter, not a nobleman's servant." Atalanta's eyes showed even more disdain.

"Alright, since you're confident, you take the lead."

Bai Zhi did not insist, even though the time limit for the archery lessons taught to him by the moon goddess Artemis was to end after Atalanta hunted the monster.

With the experience of Andrcher of the Terra world, also known as Terra Angelica, and the guidance of the gods.

Angelica dahurica is less about cultivation and more about remembering, adapting, and then evolving.

Although she cannot compare to a god, Bai Zhi's current strength is such that she can clear a third of the light spots on the lake with a single arrow.

If Atalanta were to fight with a bow and arrow, disregarding external factors such as the environment, the outcome would be uncertain.

Using the leftover bear meat from yesterday for breakfast, the two quickly moved along the trail of the magical beast.

Because Bai Zhi is pretending to have difficulty walking, he is currently being carried by Atalanta.

"I'm warning you, watch your hands. If you touch anything you shouldn't, I'll break your hands," Atalanta warned, a subtle sensation on her back making her want to flip him over.

"Don't worry, you're not within my hunting range." Bai Zhi's tone was resolute. He admired beautiful women, that was true, but he didn't want to cause trouble.

Both of them are currently underage and still teenagers. Although Atalanta maintains a separation between men and women, she doesn't yet hate males as much as she does in the future.

It's also possible that Bai Zhi is currently a blond, handsome young man, and Atalanta doesn't believe he has the ability to offend her.

After walking for an hour, Atalanta stopped, but did not put down Bai Zhi, perhaps because she did not want him to cause trouble.

The traces of the monsters were very obvious.

The trees two hundred meters ahead were all snapped in half, and the ground was turned upside down. It looked like a desert, without a trace of green life.

Judging from the marks on the broken tree trunk, it was smashed open. Ordinary wild beasts do not have such strength, which means that the monster is right in front of us, and this wasteland is its territory.

After a moment's thought, Atalanta decided to explore further. The instant they entered the wasteland, they both felt a dryness, as if all the moisture in the air had vanished.

"We should avoid close combat with monsters that have dehydration abilities. If our bodies are dried out, things will get very bad."

Sensing the surrounding ethereal magic and the ethereal crystals forming within her body, Bai Zhi became even more sensitive to magic.

"I can see that."

Atalanta didn't stop, and after a moment, she hid behind a withered tree trunk and looked at the enormous creature in front of her.

The brown bear, which can reach a length of eight meters, has a fur color that is more like sand than medium brownish-yellow. Its body is not as bulky as that of ordinary bears, and its bulging muscles make it clear that it is a powerful creature.

"A very troublesome guy. His well-developed muscles are strong enough to withstand the penetrating power of arrows. Even if you attack along the muscle lines, I reserve my opinion on the possibility that the arrowhead will pierce his flesh."

After a brief observation, and drawing on the knowledge taught by the Moon Goddess, Bai Zhi offered her opinion: "Only soft areas such as the eyes, ears, and mouth can inflict effective damage, but the chance of a fatal blow is too low. At least I don't have high hopes for you."

Atalanta wasn't annoyed; instead, she asked in a surprised tone, "I didn't expect you to know about hunting too."

"I know this much common sense." Bai Zhi was speechless. The princes of the Greek era did not only practice court etiquette. If they did not know a little self-defense, they would probably get into trouble even if they stayed in the castle.

"Considering its edible function, we can't use poison in this hunt. And with the size of this monster, trapping it in a pit would be too difficult."

Atalanta pondered hunting methods and what she might need in the forest when suddenly her eyes lit up.

"There is a swamp five kilometers away. If you lure the monster into the swamp, you can trap it and limit its power."

"A simple and crude plan, but with a high success rate, as long as the bait is handled well."

Bai Zhi offered her opinion at the opportune moment, and then noticed Atalanta's strange look.

"Wait, you don't mean to say I'm injured... Never mind, I'll do it, but I hope you'll grant me a request."

The thought of being chased by monsters sent chills down Bai Zhi's spine. Just as she was about to refuse, her gaze fell on Atalanta, the 1.6-meter-tall girl. She fell silent, deciding that she should go herself.

"A request? What request?"

"It's simple, just forgive me."

"Forgive me, but what are you planning to do?"

Atalanta put down Angelica, very wary.

"Don't worry, it won't affect you at all. At most, you might feel a little uncomfortable, which is about the same as taking the prey without your permission," Bai Zhi gave an example.

"Do you want me to kill you first?!"

That look in her eyes... Oh no, she's serious.

“You also want to finish this commission sooner, right?” Bai Zhi made a suggestion she couldn’t refuse.

“...Just this once.” Atalanta took a deep breath and agreed.

Having been pardoned, Bai Zhi immediately stood up, jumped up and down to loosen her muscles, showing no signs of being a seriously injured patient.

Your injury is healed!!!

Under the blazing sun, Bai Zhi felt as if she were in the frigid north, her gaze filled with murderous intent. She couldn't help but shiver and hurriedly tried to explain herself.

"Wait, the killing intent is too strong. Calm down, don't let the monsters find us."

Holding Atalanta's hand, Bai Zhi decided to leave first, lest she make a big mistake.

After a little physical contact, the two became immune to it, but Bai Zhi still felt uneasy about the deep, murderous gaze behind him, as if an arrow would pierce his neck the moment he let go.

The Greek Runaway Prince: Chapter Six - The Monster Hunt

“Come, Diomedes, let me hear your sophistry.”

"By directly using sophistry as a premise, you're clearly showing that you don't believe me."

Atalanta looked indignant, but she didn't stop. She sniffed the air and followed the sweet scent to find the beehive on the tree trunk.

Bai Zhi placed the dry firewood under the beehive and lit the flames, explaining the current situation while concealing the presence of the moon goddess Artemis.

"The bone injuries have improved, but the internal organs are damaged, and the blood and qi are insufficient, so the body is still weak." Atalanta carefully examined Bai Zhi's body, and the situation was consistent with his explanation.

To be honest, Bai Zhi never imagined that her illness would become a way to escape the crisis.

He was barely spared, but while he was spared the death penalty, he couldn't escape punishment. Atalanta remembered Bai Zhi for a long time, and she felt uneasy if she didn't get her revenge after the mission ended.

As they talked, billowing smoke enveloped the beehive. The bees were all stunned by the smoke, which contained special herbs. Bai Zhi took the opportunity to remove the beehive, and when she broke it open, sweet honey came into view.

"So sweet."

The girl couldn't resist the dessert. Even Atalanta couldn't help but reach out her finger, scoop a spoonful of honey, put it in her mouth, and reveal a contented smile.

Gazing at her smile, Bai Zhi couldn't help but sigh, "If you were less physical and less verbal, you would definitely have a lot of suitors."

“I swear to Artemis that I will remain pure forever.” Atalanta despised those brutish men and weak, powerless noblemen.

To sum it up, she hates men, except for children.

The two planned their route: Bai Zhi returned to the realm of the magical beasts, while Atalanta went to the swamp to set traps and ambush them.

"It is said that the best way to grow up is to leave the comfort of home. The ancients were right. In just a few days, I have become so bold."

Carrying Honey Angelica on his back, he traveled across the desert. His stiff steps became more steady and skillful. Having shared the Kaslana Gunfighting Technique of Honkai Angelica Paimon, his leg techniques became increasingly refined.

Before Bai Zhi could get close, the magical beast made a move.

Just as a dog can't stop eating shit, a bear can never resist honey.

The brown bear monster twitched its nose, opened its ferocious eyes, and its eight-meter-tall body blocked out the sunlight. It stood up and roared, the sound waves reverberating, and the ground seemed to tremble with every step the monster took.

"The next step is to attract hatred."

Bai Zhi took out a bow (a spare from Atalanta) from her storage bag, nocked two iron arrows, pulled the bowstring, aimed at the two points on the monster's chest, and released the bowstring.

The arrow traced two arcs in the air and hit the bullseye.

The brown bear monster was stunned for a moment.

"Roar--"

A surge of rage welled up in his head, and his eyes flashed red. Bai Zhi knew he had completely aroused hatred, so she turned and ran.

An eight-meter-tall monster.

My small frame can't even withstand a single move.

The prediction about the brown bear monster was correct. It was indeed a strength-type monster and not good at speed. It barely managed to catch up with Bai Zhi by relying on its size. After reaching the forest, it needed to break tree trunks to clear a path, and Bai Zhi had to slow down to avoid losing it.

However, upon witnessing the ghastly sight of the tree trunk rapidly drying out after being touched by the monster, Bai Zhi became even more determined not to get close.

The swamp wasn't far, only five kilometers away, but it took us an hour to get there.

After bypassing the swampy area, Bai Zhi did not find any trace of Atalanta. It makes sense, as concealment is the key to being a hunter.

In terms of archery alone, Bai Zhi was confident she could match Atalanta, but when it came to hunting, unless a hunter came to Bai Zhi's space, catching up in a short time was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
