At this time, Alice was holding a small knife, repeatedly tossing and catching it, looking at the two of them with a strange expression.

The little swan said she was figuring out a way to help Louis grow stronger.

Alice became interested upon hearing this and asked curiously:

"Is this useful to you? Can I lend a hand too?"

Louis initially intended for them to take a break with the little swan.

After all, he had the succubus physique to restore his state, but they did not.

However, who would have thought that the three of them had no intention of resting and directly joined the "snake-catching army."

Due to the addition of two more people, the group's efficiency in advancing improved significantly.

Louis also gradually got used to using the Blood Fury Blade technique to assist them in long-range monster slaying.

But this time, everyone noticed something strange.

The little swan hesitated and said:

"Why aren't they chasing after me anymore?"

Previously, when it was just her and Louis, these Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes would go crazy and attack her the moment they landed.

The little swan thought she might have some kind of bad luck physique that specialized in attracting Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes.

But now, after the beauty snakes landed, only a portion attacked her.

The remaining portion scattered and ran towards Alice and Grace.

After they cleared out this wave of beauty snakes, the number killed by them had exceeded twenty.

Limuru was having a great feast.

Even Louis felt like taking a break.

The Fallen Shadow power within him surged wave after wave, somewhat affecting his concentration on executing martial techniques.

Who could withstand this?

As the Fallen Shadow power surged through him, his body felt as if it was being gently caressed by a young maiden, with warmth and comfort spreading through every corner.

So much so that he just wanted to find a corner and fully experience it.

The taste of the Fallen Shadow power is pretty nice!

After a short while, Louis suddenly stood up.

Olivia looked at him:

"Did you succeed?"

"I did!"

Louis laughed heartily and said:

"I've mastered the Tiger Taming Technique."

Olivia's lips curled into a happy smile.

Alice tutted and said, "We should find a tiger-type magical beast someday to try it out."

Grace quietly said, "Congratulations."

Though she didn't understand how Louis managed to learn magic in the midst of all the killing, especially a magic unique to the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.

It was then that Alice spoke:

"Louis, we have a hypothesis we want to test."

Louis, who was ecstatic at the moment, had no idea what he was about to encounter and simply asked:

"What hypothesis?"

"A hypothesis about the behavior logic of the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes."

"Hmm? Tell me, what do we have to do?"

Alice's mouth curled into a strange smile:

"To test this hypothesis is simple. You just need to take off your armor."

Louis was taken aback for a moment but still said "Alright," and began to remove his armor.

Alice found him too slow, so she called the other two girls to help Louis with his outfit.

Full body armor was troublesome to put on, and equally troublesome to take off.

After a few minutes, he finally managed to remove his armor.

The little swan patted Louis on the shoulder and said:

"You've been enchanted, quickly go on!"

Alice, fearing he might misunderstand, hurriedly added:

"Don't worry, just follow our previous method of encircling the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes."

Grace said worriedly:

"Mr. Caesar, be careful of being surrounded."

"Huh? Am I really afraid of being surrounded by them?"

Louis looked a bit perplexed.

Not slaughtering them all would already be fortunate.

If they could manage a siege...

A glint of bloodthirstiness flashed in his eyes.

If they could manage it, then bring it on!

"Let's start with a smaller squad of Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes."

Alice said cautiously.

The group once again advanced upstream along the creek.

Before long, they encountered four Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes patrolling downstream.

Following the instructions from Alice and the others, Louis deliberately made a slight commotion.

In the next moment, the beauty snakes in the water immediately came ashore.

"Here they come. Next, they will start spreading out to surround the girls. I need to move quickly."

"Especially Grace over there, she doesn't have many combat skills."

"So I need to kill... Wait, what the heck, Li Zai Gan God-Demon?"

Louis looked bewildered as the four Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes crazily rushed towards him.

Alice burst into laughter, "I knew it."

Olivia stifled her laughter, but soon she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Grace was anxious to help her Mr. Caesar, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

After a flurry of chaotic movements, they successfully slew the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes on the spot.

Louis viciously pulled his claws out from the chest of the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake and kicked it into Limuru's gaping maw.

"What's going on here?"

He couldn't quite understand the logic behind these snakes' actions.

Little Swan kindly explained:

"The logic behind the actions of these Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes is simple: whoever looks attractive, they attack first."

"When you were wearing full armor before, they couldn't see you and only saw the absolutely stunning me, so jealousy flared up, and they attacked me first."

"Hmph, but now, they're choosing to attack you first."

Although the three women never admitted they looked good, they weren't stupid, and had some self-awareness about their appearance.

Before, when there was only Olivia, she hadn't quite reacted in time.

But when the three of them joined forces against the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes, their actions left Little Swan stunned.

They completely ignored Louis, who was attacking at the front, and first attacked the three of them.

At that moment, a thought flashed through Little Swan's simple mind.

"There's just me, and there are the three of us, what's the difference between these scenarios?"

Power?

Nope.

If you pick the highest level, you should choose Alice.

If you pick the one with the most damage, you should choose herself.

If you pick the easiest to bully, you should choose Grace.

It can't be picking by bust size, right?

Then they should have attacked herself or Grace first.

Little Swan was sensitive to these things.

Finally, she came to a rather absurd, yet fitting conclusion given these creatures' way of thinking.

They prioritize attacking the good-looking ones.

After all, Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes are projections of those deadly beauties in reality, naturally full of jealousy and murderous intent towards beauties that could threaten their status.

So they planned to test it directly.

Little Swan believed that although Louis was male, he truly deserved the title of "Nation's Charmer."

So she encouraged the other two to join her in asking Louis to remove his armor for a test.

Never did they expect...

That freaking Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes, not knowing a dam thing, all rushed towards Louis.

After listening to their "test," Louis felt both annoyed and amused.

Little Swan kept shouting that these Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes didn't know any better and all ran over to Louis.

Louis glanced at her and said:

"Why don't you reflect for a moment: even the three of you together can't attract as much aggro as I alone can."

Hearing this, Little Swan was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.

But after pondering for a moment, Louis added:

"Perhaps there's something else we can test."

"What do you mean?"

Everyone was curious.

Louis cleared his throat and said:

"I think they might not just attack for beauty's sake, there might be other behavioral logic."

Louis poured a bit of water from his water pouch, washed his face slightly, then slicked his fallen forelocks back.

A stern face was revealed, and the slicked-back-hair Louis made his appearance.

Little Swan's eyes lit up and she said:

"Great, this looks fun!"

She had a vague hunch about Louis's idea and spotted a lone Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake swaying nearby, so she immediately motioned for Louis to approach it.

This time, something surprising happened.

After emerging from the water, the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake slowly approached Louis.

But this time, it didn't attack, instead, it wagged its tail at Louis from a distance.

Louis/Alice/Grace: ...

Olivia clapped and laughed:

"Quick, Louis, go! It thinks you're a charming gentleman, wagging its tail as an invitation to you!"

Louis nodded and said:

"Okay."

Then, under Little Swan's stunned gaze, he walked over.

"Louis, what are you doing?"

"Accepting the invitation."

"Huh?"
