Section 108 The Emperor's Capital 13
Even if you are a warlock, you are actually human.
Although it is said that a powerful warlock can wield all kinds of powerful powers that transcend race, and even surpass the rules of physics. But more warlocks aren't that strong. Taking the magic of the fourth law as an example, the strong can shake the electromagnetic cannon without injury or slight damage (of course, it can last one or two bullets at most), and dismantle the exoskeleton armor with bare hands (of course, it is small and medium-sized), but the weak are the same thing. Although they are more agile, faster, and stronger, they can't run faster than bullets, and a single ordinary bullet can hit them with blood.
Lu Wu had seen those bomb bird battles in the style of terrorists on Earth before. Each of these birds had the explosive power of a grenade.
Being hit one by one by a dozen or twenty grenades, even if there are no fragments, the explosive effect is enough to tear a person to pieces. In this case, it is not surprising to seriously injure a warlock who is not particularly powerful.
No, not to mention a dozen or twenty pieces, a grenade that exploded at close range was enough to tear the human body into several pieces. Being able to survive so many grenades is a true miracle in itself. By Earth's standards, it would not be an exaggeration to call this Ranger "immortal". Of course, by a warlock's standards, this performance should not be very good.
Although Lu Wu has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs walking. So he knew that this warlock's strength was not particularly strong. Of course, this is easy to deduce from the fact that she is a Ranger.
I'm still coughing up blood...... It felt as if the internal organs had been injured by the explosion of air. If the wound is particularly severe, the warlocks will use their magic to forcibly control the wound, at least to keep it from getting worse. But if it's a minor injury, they should ignore it unless it's very necessary.
To tell the truth, if he simply relied on the strength of his body, Lu Wu felt that although he didn't have a high chance of winning, he wouldn't necessarily lose. After all, if the other party is seriously injured, he will definitely use most of his magic power to suppress the injury. But the problem is that the opponent's methods are much more than hand-to-hand combat.
Lu Wu had just seen her use the spirit of words to easily bring down another Stygian Moon Warlock with one move. Of course, there is no need to be so troublesome to deal with Lu Wu, she only needs to use the lowest level of seventh law magic. That power, though the lowest of the magical, can force a person to sleep. Lu Wu had been exposed to the magic of the Seventh Law, so he knew how terrifying that power was. It is not something that can be resisted by a strong will or a desire to survive with mental strength such as a strong will. It's like a sword through the heart, no matter how much you don't want to die, how many reasons you have to continue living, you still have to die.
What should I do? Lu Wu stood there for a long time without moving. The reason why I did this was not because I was afraid that I lost my ability to act, but I just didn't want to provoke the other party.
The snow roof is semi-oval, and the snow particles are pressed very firmly, which is close to the level of "ice cubes". It was as if some kind of force was holding up the snow layer above from below. After the structure stabilized, this force quietly withdrew, which caused the current scene. Obviously, this was either the magic of this moon sorcerer or some kind of high-tech device she carried. Anyway, Lu Wu already knew that the technology of the other world was a cut above that of the earth.
The Lunatic sorcerer sits on the ground in a half-kneeling, half-sitting position. Her back against the snow wall, like a person leaning against the back of a sofa, is a posture that seems to be comfortable and comfortable. Her black hair was like a shadow in this snowy world, and her black eyes stared at Lu Wu, even when she coughed just now.
By this time she had stopped coughing. Surprisingly, she still seemed to remember Lu Wu, because even though there was no kindness in her eyes, there was no emotion such as surprise.
No, it should be said, her eyes and expression are calm. A frightening calm. That sense of calm can only be seen in three kinds of people, either a practitioner who transcends the world and is not shocked by honor and disgrace, or a person who is about to die and sees through everything and cannot shake his heart, and of course there is the last possibility, which is the natural peace that is expressed when you are looking at a dead person or a person who is about to die, that is, when you look at a lifeless solid.
Dead people are not threatened, and they will not leak secrets.
As long as the other party wants to talk, then Lu Wu still has a chance. If the other party doesn't want to talk, then Lu Wu is estimated to become a dead person directly. Yes, the master is with him, and he also has some lethal supernatural abilities (he didn't have them, but he has them after eating them), but the master is completely different from Kecha Goat. Kecha Goyat can do whatever he wants, while the master is bound by multiple oaths and cannot move freely.
This is the time to wait for the judgment of fate.
Einstein's theory of relativity proved its incomparably correct moment again. Although reason told Lu Wu that he would not stand stiffly like this for a long time, it felt like he had been standing like this for a hundred years, maybe longer.
"Partner!" The master's voice sounded in the headphones, and it was not clear whether the master's tone was confused or relieved, "That, she should have fainted." ”
……
Lu Wuyi didn't come back all night.
Thomas held out in the camp for a while. Although he said that he was young and strong, the complete explosion of the gossip soul before had also made him exhausted. It was okay outside, and while in a comfortable camp, he was quickly conquered by the Sandman. I slept until dawn.
It was only after dawn that he realized that he was alone. Neither Amber nor Master Lu Wu came back.
If the initial hope was that they would suddenly appear as if they were leaving, the current situation is enough to change that delusion. I didn't come back for a whole night, which is not explained by the fact that I was late because there was something going on outside. In fact, the objective fact that Lu Wu and the two of them did not return all night can shatter any hope. Even if Thomas deceived himself, he knew that Lu Wu and Amber's situation was definitely not good.
If not for private reasons, then the answer is clear: they are in some kind of danger.
Now Thomas, the soul of gossip or the heart of a journalist, has been extinguished. Looking back at the photos and videos taken yesterday, he also noticed something unusual in them - natural phenomena such as landslides and subsidence are not surprising, but the entire cliff is falling like a wall...... Even if it's not a newcomer, at least it's unprecedented, right?
Although it was first understood in terms of "nature's miracles", now the situation is different. Thomas felt a sense of fear.
It's not a fear you feel because you're safe. After all, although he is located in a no-man's land, the environment in this no-man's land is not sinister. He had an intact, intact, even brand new SUV by his side, which was in good working order and loaded with a large amount of supplies and camping supplies. Truth be told, if he saves money, even if he spends the winter here. Even though Lu Wu and Amber disappeared, Thomas himself was not threatened in any way.
But the oldest and strongest of the so-called fears is the fear of the unknown.
Thomas has now preliminarily concluded that yesterday's cliffslides and avalanches were not natural phenomena, at least not completely natural. The disappearance of Master Lu Wu and Amber must have something to do with it. He didn't believe that it was just an accident: Lu Wuyi accidentally walked into the area of the natural disaster, and then it was over. Based on the order in which the two of them left, he speculated that Lu Wu should do something dangerous, and when he found out that he needed reinforcements, he asked Amber to come to his aid. That's why Lu Wu only left after talking to Thomas, and Amber suddenly disappeared.
Thomas speculated, with the kind of optimist that this place, though it seemed like an ordinary no-man's-land on the plateau, was supposed to be in some danger. It could even be quite dangerous.
It's not that Thomas is particularly imaginative. As in many Western stories, brave knights always take risks to fight dark creatures like vampires. The unsung heroes who fight the evil forces of the darkness in uncharted ways to protect the world is a heroic mindset that is common and widely recognized all over the world, both East and West. A lot of stories are made up based on this kind of thinking. So there is no doubt that Master Lu Wu at this time is also doing something similar.
The only problem is ...... Thomas wasn't sure if Lu Wu had succeeded or failed.
He carefully checked his existing equipment and his own situation, and quickly confirmed that he could basically do nothing. If Master Lu Wu (Thomas had seen with his own eyes how easily he could take away a dozen or so heavily armed soldiers) couldn't deal with an enemy, he certainly wouldn't be able to deal with it. After all, there were no weapons in the car, only tools that could be used as weapons, such as crowbars, wrenches, and screwdrivers, and he had no combat training.
In particular, for some reason, the satellite phones in the car in this place have failed. Thomas remembers trying a satellite phone halfway through here, about a two-hour drive away. The phone was completely normal at that time.
Speaking of which, this place may seem normal, but when you think about it, it is strange.
Lu Wu and Amber don't show up for a long time, and Thomas has to think about what to do next. In the end, he decided to wait another day, and if Lu Wu and Amber didn't come back, he decided to go back for a while and call for help. He figured that if something happened to Lu Wu and Amber, then their bodies would probably be under the avalanche and the mountain.
