Chapter 12: The First Ambush

It's not an easy time to lurk in the forest.

The forest is too secluded, and just staying there gives people a feeling of oppression.

Some people may feel that the forest air is fresh, and there is so much green cover, it must be pleasing to the eye. However, there is also a thing to consider that there is something called aesthetic fatigue. Under aesthetic fatigue, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it becomes a meaningless picture.

Moreover, the forest is full of dangers, with both native beasts and nefarious enemies.

The assassins and predators are engaged in a bloody hunt in this vast forest, with elite assassins trained by the law of the jungle on one side and real jungle beasts on the other. Either side is deadly.

In this unknown vigilance, the human spirit is very easily exhausted, and as a result, it gradually falls into panic, gradually loses its physical strength as its energy disappears, and finally drives itself crazy.

What's more, on the second day, it rained.

The originally hot and uncirculated air was washed clean by the sudden heavy rain. It was quite a favorable weather for the assassins.

Because of the heavy rain, the figures of the two people were hidden in the fine gray rain, and the smell of rain could wash away the smell of people and blood, and the probability of exposure was greatly reduced.

However, in the same way, it has become more difficult to find the enemy.

"This was prescient!"

Hiding in the canopy, Aya Maki sighed while gnawing on the tiger meat that had already been cool.

The sound of rain is continuous, and the overlapping leaves cushion most of the power, and the complex structure allows water droplets to roll down the veins of the leaves, and in the end, even if there are a few raindrops, it is just a little fun.

X has just done a temporary waterproof treatment for the bullet, and once the gunpowder weapon is wet, the stability will be greatly reduced.

There's nothing else to do on a rainy day.

Rushing out to seek out the enemy will cause his clothes to get wet, which will not only rob him of his physical strength, increase his thirst for food and water, but also slow his movement after the rain stops.

I'm afraid the other assassins are also hiding from the rain.

X thought this with some anxiety.

Give him only three days. Counting yesterday and today, that is, he must kill ten assassins of his own caliber in the same day...... It's almost impossible to do.

Other words......

Do you have to hunt today?

X silently cast his gaze to the sky, the color of the haze, there was no meaning of clearing.

I'm afraid, it's going to be the next day.

"Now, let's wait for the rain to stop and be bored, let's talk about something?"

“……”

Aya Maki was chirping, like a lark. It's hard to imagine why someone of her character would choose to be the assassin, and it's hard to understand why she's been able to hold on until now.

The first priority of the assassin is to be able to calm down, endure loneliness whenever and wherever he wants, quietly wait for the enemy to reveal his flaws, and finally, harvest the enemy's life with one blow.

However, Aya's lively personality is not suitable no matter how you look at it.

However, X didn't ask her.

Just as he didn't want her to ask about himself, he didn't ask about the other party.

Silent.

"Na, na! Say something, right? Family affairs, your affairs, why are you here, or something? ”

Aya's words made X amused for a while, and he replied calmly: "The people here have neither a home nor a reason, I've been here since I can remember, training, training, that's all." ”

"But there's got to be some kind of story, right? It's been so many years! There must be something funny, right? Yes, yes, yes? ”

"Nope."

The undying Maki Aya showed a pitiful look like a puppy and longed, but X was unmoved. The heart is like a rock, and it deserves to be the top of the assassins.

"Hey...... So, let me tell you my story? ”

"No, you don't. Be quiet. ”

X frowned, interrupting her unpleasantly. He doesn't like this kind of noisy guy.

There's a nasty feeling of being spied on.

"But, isn't it super boring?"

"Someone's coming."

X's words blocked Aya's mouth, no matter how much she messed around, she wouldn't make such an inappropriate joke at such a time.

Following him with bated breath, the two of them took cover from the leaves on the trunk of the tree, carefully observing below.

Sure enough, in the torrential rain, I could vaguely see the figure of a human with white rain flowers, he was holding a knife in his hand, and the blue and black lines of the magic circuit were on his arm, and he kept his magic in a state of activation at any time, pacing step by step on guard.

Are you looking for yourself? Or is it something else?

The two watched the man leave, and Aya Maki said in a low voice: "Do you want to release a demon or something, go investigate?" ”

"There's no need, it's easy for the demon to be detected by the other party. It's better to trust your eyes. ”

X's voice was cold, and he added.

"If it's a demon, I'm afraid I'm misled."

He pointed in one direction with his finger, and Aya Maki looked over and didn't find anything wrong.

On second thought, maybe he was talking about traces of magic, right? Looked into it again and found that there were no problems.

"What's wrong? I haven't found any traces of magic, have I? ”

"There's an ambush there."

X said categorically.

In fact, magic is widespread in every corner of the world, everywhere, and there is magic. It's just a matter of how much. In the claims of the Magic Society, in ancient times, the earth was full of magic, and it was generally believed that the magicians of the gods were beings far superior to modern magicians.

So, when X probes there and finds no traces of magic, he knows there's something wrong.

That's what it means.

I'm afraid, in order not to be detected by magic, the traces of magic around me have been erased, right? It's a pity that because it went too far, it turned out to be exposed.

Generally speaking, there should be a slight wave of mana, and it is impossible that there is no trace at all.

"How many bars of magic can you chant at the top?"

"Uh...... The highest is 4 verses. ”

Aya Maki replied.

"Then, come with me in that direction and hit the past hard."

If you use a pistol, you can't attack without checking the opponent's location.

However, a wide range of magic attacks is not affected by this.

The magic power driven by the two of them together will definitely leave traces, and it will be tracked by the enemy.

However, the temptation to kill the ambusher in reverse here is too great.

As long as a group is annihilated here, and then go to the water source to find a group of ambushers, it should be able to quickly weaken the enemy's power, probably, you can clear up about seven or eight people.

At that time, the success rate of two-to-three or four-to-four will be much higher.

Either way, live first.

X so judges.

Chanting magic is quite a time-consuming thing, and the higher the number of chanting spells, the more powerful and powerful they are, and the more time it will naturally take to activate.

The magic of 4 knots is already in the category of high power, and the two of them drive together, even if they risk being discovered, it is worth it!

However, just as X was singing......

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot shattered the silence of the forest! In the sound of the dripping rain, the explosive sound of the powder gun really makes people unable to understand the other party's brain circuits, doesn't he know that in this weather, pistols and bullets are easily damp?!

Of course, they do.

So, the meaning of this action is: even if you waste a pistol, you have to kill X!

The bullet pierced his shoulder, and the sharp pain interrupted his chanting at once, and the gathered mana collapsed, and X quickly rolled over with the force, his legs between the trunk, and he avoided his original position in an upside-down position.

How can it be!

Why can you snipe yourself?!

Look at the surrounding forest, where there are traces of ambushes, but I feel the breath of human beings from afar, just X thinks it is the place where the enemy is ambushing, three people came out, and pointed to the gun, pointed at X, and condensed a pitch-black spell bullet in his hand, and the flame bullet ice blade gun that directly kills the human body is different, the main lethal power of the curse bullet is to cause the human body injury curse, in other words, this is a spell that focuses more on [nuisance] than [killing].

Especially to make the [Pain Worsen], especially if the shoulder has just been pierced by a bullet, as long as the curse bullet hits, it can make his wound worsen, and the deterioration of the wound will be accompanied by states such as headache, fever, weakness of limbs, etc., and the obstruction of the curse bullet can maximize its own effect and weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness!

"Damn, how did you find me?!"

The three men had no intention of shooting, and it seemed that someone else was sniping at them......

Someone saw through their position and, in a magic drive, sniped their shoulder?

Really...... This is......

Ambush!

But unexpectedly, the bait was not the person who just walked over, but the three people who were in ambush!

Damn it!
