Chapter 31: The Hunt
Although Mei Lin is good at martial arts, girls are naturally inferior to men in terms of strength, let alone those beasts, so her martial arts speed and changeable pace are the mainstay, if the speed is a little sluggish, it is easy to be surrounded by pursuers, and the final result can be imagined.
Immediately decided, Merlin suddenly exerted force under her feet, did not advance but retreated, and rushed towards the pursuer with her back, the Alius bow in her hand seemed to have eyes, and her backarm swept towards the opponent's long sword, but her left hand took out the dagger...... Merlin even used the power to eat milk this time!
The sneak attacker behind was so shocked that he didn't have time to react, so he gritted his teeth and stiffened, and the sword in his hand collided with the bow of Alius without any tricks.
Bang!
The two huge forces intersected, and the first thing that could not be held was the pursuer's long sword, which was swept upwards, revealing the gap in his chest, and Merlin took this opportunity to turn around strangely and crash into the pursuer's arms, and the dagger in her left hand stabbed into his chest with a 'poof'.
"Ah~" The pursuer let out a scream, but his figure was a few steps backwards, crumbling, blood gushing from his chest.
"Lord Feller has been assassinated, catch the murderer!" shouted and hurried footsteps could be heard from the direction of the Academy, and it was clear that the battle here had attracted attention.
"It's really worth it, for a wizard apprentice?" Merlin was a little angry about herself, but fortunately she was informed by Keli, otherwise she would have to face those wizard apprentices at this time, they are the most terrifying.
As long as she burrows into the forest, she can get out of the situation where she is being hunted down...... At the very least, there will be a lot fewer people who can catch up with her, and she can deal with it more calmly.
At this moment, a loud shout came from behind him: "Where to go!"
The sharp and terrifying white whistling sound made Merlin's heart skip a beat, and her face changed drastically...... This is at least a low-ranking knight who has practiced vindictiveness!
Turning her head to look, Mei Lin's slightly changed face couldn't help but change again, and the three sword qi were in the shape of a zigzag, shooting towards her, and between the lightning and the fire, they had already come closer. Not far away, the three knights' faces turned red, and it was obvious that this blow had also consumed almost all of their fighting energy.
Generally speaking, the release of Dou Qi requires a deep foundation, at least in the middle knight can perform the real Dou Qi skill, like the three in front of him, it should be the lower knight, after this blow, there is not much power left.
At this time, it was too late to dodge, but Wei Ting found that she was surprisingly calm, without a trace of fluctuation in her heart, and without hesitation, she urged the defensive magic wizard weapon, and an oval-shaped light mask shrouded her figure.
Bang!
The three sword qi slammed into the light mask almost simultaneously, making a loud noise...... The light mask only trembled slightly, and then suddenly shattered, Mei Lin's thin body flew backwards, and when she was still in the air, she had already spat blood from her mouth, and her body slipped out of several meters before she stopped, already dying.
"I finally didn't let her run!" the three samurai smiled at each other, but immediately struggled to rush towards Merlin on the ground, trying to take the first prize.
"Panmila...... A web of interweaving!"
Just as they stood in front of Merlin, they saw that the girl who had closed her eyes suddenly opened her eyes and smiled at them strangely, and with the sound of the spell, a white spider web and a blue power grid flew in successively, covering their heads and faces, and the three of them suddenly struggled together.
Merlin had already stood up, urging two bloody blades to fly out and slash into the throats of two of the warriors.
"Don't kill me......" The last remaining samurai was like ashes, the power grid technique and the spider web technique were similar in nature, and both had a paralyzing effect, and his fighting spirit was exhausted, and there was no way to struggle.
No one responded to him, and a bright blade stabbed him in the throat.
'Whew~'
With her sword and bow in hand, Merlin gasped for a moment, sheathed her sword, and took out a vial of hemostatic medicine and sprinkled it on the wound...... Although the potion is effective, the price is severe pain, and after Mei Lin finished taking the medicine, her little face was already distorted into a ball of pain.
In the battle just now, the rabbit fell and fell, the rhythm was quite fast, the three lower knights struck hard, and the shield insisted at all, fortunately, at the critical time, Mei Lin put the Alius bow in front of him, blocking most of the attacks, the external injuries on his body were just within the reach of the sword qi, and the blood was real, but fortunately, there were no other injuries in the internal organs.
After dealing with the wound, Mei Lin's face also recovered a little, fortunately, the Alius bow was refined by the branches of the world, even if it was slashed with a heavy axe, it would not hurt a bit, otherwise the three sword qi just now would be enough to kill her three times back and forth.
"Campas...... Swift Feet!"
Enduring the pain of her wound, Merlin cast a blast on herself and continued to run into the forest.
Someone had already come up from behind, and they watched as Merlin's disappeared back, everyone's face was horrified.
The torches stopped in front of the three corpses, and the crowd looked at each other.
"What a horrible guy!"
The third-level wizard apprentice at the head had an expression of disbelief: "Is she a second-level apprentice or an intermediate knight?"
"Yes, not only has our family lost face now, but it has also provoked the next strong enemy. The other wizard apprentice was also worried.
As far as they knew, Mei Lin was only fourteen years old, and she was still a fifth-class qualification, although she didn't know why she had been so slow to enter the country in the past four years, but she broke through the second level soon after she was promoted to a formal apprentice, if she continued to develop at this rate, the other party's future was unlimited, and it was really not worth offending such a person.
For a while, everyone was a little hesitant.
"Lord Phil is dead, and if we go back like this, I'm afraid the head of the family won't spare us easily. The third-level apprentice at the head said dryly.
"Why don't we chase again?" Hearing this, you know that you obviously have no confidence in the outcome of the pursuit.
……
Merlin ran as hard as she could, like a wounded beast. Her body has been exerted to the extreme, and the soft branches pumping on her body make her feel faint pain, but she is unconscious, like a sensitive and explosive cheetah, shuttling through the forest. The mottled shadows in the forest gave her the best cover, but the people of the Feller family behind her still followed her closely, and they couldn't shake it off.
Merlin's way of moving forward is not simply running, sometimes she will use the thick rattan to swing forward like an ape. Sometimes, she uses the elasticity of the branches, which can effectively preserve what little strength she has left.
With a kick of her legs, the branches were instantly pressed into an arch shape by her.
Sou!
Merlin shot forward like an arrow from a string, and now she had no way back but to move forward.
The vegetation in the forest is getting denser and denser, and the path is long gone. The humid air smelled of decay, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of rotting leaves and dead branches, which were soft to step on. Occasionally, a few insect chirps are clearly audible.
Looking at the terrifyingly quiet forest in front of her, a feeling of unease suddenly rose in Merlin's heart. But after hesitating for a second, Merlin chose to move on.
