Chapter 5: I'm an Assassin, Meow
"Ahh
"Ahh
Two screams rang out in the otherwise silent forest. But even such a loud scream would quickly drown out in the boundless silence of the forest.
And it was Zhou Yan and Youyou who went to crusade against the minotaur who made the screams. Whether it was Zhou Yan or Youyou, they were all at 100% speed at the moment, running fast in the forest where the roots of the trees were entangled.
"Ahhhh Yoyo, is this kind of thing really a minotaur? How can you be so strong! Zhou Yan ran quickly while walking towards the side.
"Whoa, whoa! I don't know, how can I be so flexible, my magic can't hit at all! And isn't it that Mr. Yan said that he is coming to crusade against the Minotaurs? Don't you know what kind of creature the Minotaur is? Youyou couldn't stop screaming, and at the same time complained about Zhou Yan.
At this moment, the most leisurely thing is probably Li, who can only communicate with Zhou Yan's consciousness, only to hear her sigh sound in Zhou Yan's mind: "How planless you are, alas." ”
"Shut up, you useless god! Every time you deliberately conceal information, you deliberately want to kill me! However, Zhou Yan just responded to her rudely in his head.
"It's useless...... What the! Miscellaneous! Yan, you will be punished for despising me and insulting God like this! The irritated love came with Li's words.
"I'm not in the mood to quarrel with you right now!" After Zhou Yan finally finished talking to Li in his heart, he ignored Li anymore and concentrated on running away.
Behind Zhou Yan and Youyou, a tall minotaur about two meters and three meters tall was shuttling between the trees of the forest with agility that did not match his height, holding a wide double-edged axe in his hand, closely pursuing Youyou and Zhou Yan. And those eyes that were as wide as copper bells were already bloodshot, as if Zhou Yan and Youyou in front of them had a common hatred with it.
……
Let's move forward a little bit for now, when Zhou Yan and Youyou had just left the town and came to the forest outside of Winterstone City, the city they lived.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Yan, you said you were a swordsman, right?" Before entering the forest, Yoyo suddenly asked.
"Uh, ah, yes." Regarding Zhou Yan's fleeting subtle pause, Yoyo didn't seem to notice it.
"But you don't have a sword?"
You looked Zhou Yan up and down, and couldn't see that Zhou Yan had a sword hidden in his body.
Zhou Yan, who was asked by Youyou, didn't have time to answer, but Youyou had already found an excuse for him: "Ah, I know, it must have used space magic or something, right?" It's just when you need it. ”
"Huh?" At this time, Zhou Yangang picked up a branch that looked quite thick and straight.
Because he heard Youyou's words, he didn't react for a while, with a stunned expression.
"Yan, Mr. Yan, what are you doing picking up branches?" After seeing the branch in Zhou Yan's hand, Yoyo couldn't help but ask strangely again.
However, before Zhou Yan had time to prevaricate, he heard Youyou find an excuse for him again: "Ah, I, I know." It must be that Mr. Yan's swordsmanship has reached a very high level. I've heard before that a great swordsman can achieve the effect of using a sword even without using a sword! ”
"Yes, yes. Scold...... Hehehe......" Zhou Yan echoed awkwardly.
This, this kid is also amazing in some ways. After complaining in his heart, Zhou Yan soon found that Yoyo was not as firm as she said.
It turns out that he is excusing me. Really, how many friends do you have to make this point? Zhou Yan smiled bitterly in his heart.
At this time, he realized that Yoyo was not stupid or ignorant of the world, but he did it because he longed for friends. Speaking of which, magicians are a type of people with relatively high intelligence, how can such people be stupid?
After figuring out this section, Zhou Yan looked at Youyou with a little more care in his eyes.
However, for some reason, Yoyo showed a frightened expression, and hugged his chest to distance himself from Zhou Yan:
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan. Please, please don't look at me like that, weird, weird, horrible. ”
Well, I take back what I just said, this kid might be a fool. Zhou Yan covered his forehead: "Don't worry, I've said it many times, I won't make a move on a child of your age, no matter how well you develop!" ”
"In other words, even if your body is not well developed, as long as you are at the right age, you will make a move?" As if to show off his sense of existence, Li complained appropriately.
"How do you understand me? And rest assured, I'm not going to be interested in a baby like you, who isn't even a young girl. Zhou Yan fought back in his brain mercilessly.
"You, you, you! What did you say! Sure enough, this sentence finally angered Li, and irritable and irritated feelings swarmed over.
Then Zhou Yan heard a sentence: "I want to launch a heavenly curse on you!" ”
"Huh? Damnation? Zhou Yan had an expression of disbelief, and even intuitively expressed Xiàn on his face.
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan?" Yoyo, who is good at observing words and feelings, suddenly noticed the change in Zhou Yan's expression, just when she wanted to ask something.
Hearing only the roar of thunder, Yoyo was frightened by the roar at close range. As for Zhou Yan on the other side, he had been hit by a slender electric current that suddenly appeared, and his whole body couldn't stop twitching because of the effect of the electric shock.
"Mr. Yan!" Yoyo was already frightened and panicked for a while.
"Don't, don't worry, I didn't, it's fine." Zhou Yan stood up tremblingly, no longer paying attention to the smug feelings that came to his mind. Holding on to the branch he had picked up, he pointed to the edge of the forest: "Let's go in first." ”
And Zhou Yan's perfunctory Youyou didn't say anything, and obediently followed.
After entering the forest, under the leadership of Zhou Yan, the two kept a low profile. Several large demonic beasts encountered on the way were avoided by them.
Along the way, Zhou Yan also kept using the branch he picked up to open the way. Watching this scene, Yoyo breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, sure enough, she didn't really think that Zhou Yan was the legendary master who could achieve the effect of a long sword even with a tree branch.
In fact, Zhou Yan was also secretly observing Youyou behind him along the way. Zhou Yan is a realistic person, or his mentality is better, after accepting the fact of crossing, he quickly adjusted his thinking to the direction of how to win this "game".
Zhou Yan never thought that he could win the boring "game" made by the only god of his predecessor as a lone ranger. So after thinking about it, he came to the conclusion that he tried to find a companion who could help him.
And after seeing Youyou, Zhou Yan had already begun to woo her.
Becoming a magician at a young age has proven Yoyo's talent. And the identity of the magician can also know that this girl will definitely not be low in intelligence.
Zhou Yan admitted that Li was right, he was despicable. Exploits Yoyo's desire to make friends with inner and communication barriers and a shy personality.
However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, at least although his methods were a little despicable, he didn't think about harming Youyou. That would be enough for him.
Because he was afraid that being too noisy would attract dangerous magical beasts, Zhou Yan and Youyou rarely communicated. This situation made Yoyo seem a lot easier.
Zhou Yan was thinking about how to find the minotaur as he poked the bushes in front of him with a branch.
"Huh?"
It seems that the branches are caught, and the stench seems to be a little strong. Zhou Yan frowned and moved vigorously and still couldn't pull it out, but even faster he heard a violent roar. Then he noticed that the tip of the branch was raised.
Looking upward, Zhou Yan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Really, I'm sorry......"
He never imagined that he would run into the minotaur he was targeting in such a situation. Rao is Zhou Yan couldn't help but be embarrassed when he saw the situation at the moment, let alone his face was already flushed when he saw this scene.
Without him, at this moment, the front end of Zhou Yan's branch was inserted under the tail of the minotaur, in the middle of the two buttocks. To put it bluntly, the minotaur was blown by Zhou Yan with a branch.
Now it doesn't matter why this minotaur is squatting in the bushes, when Zhou Yan saw the moment the minotaur's eyes became bloodshot and red from anger and humiliation, he already had a premonition that something was wrong.
"Moo!" The minotaur roared angrily.
Zhou Yan instinctively took a step back, and behind him, You You had already taken out a staff with the length of a whip, accompanied by the waving of the staff and the rapid chanting. A fireball the size of a basketball appeared in front of her.
"Fireball!" With a finger of the staff, the fireball that had already formed immediately rushed towards the minotaur.
stunned and attacked, this is the difference between Zhou Yan, who has just become an adventurer, and Youyou, who has been an adventurer for a while.
When Yoyo released the fireball, Zhou Yan had already come back to his senses. The whizzing fireball caught his eye. Seeing real magic for the first time made him feel an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
Then the next moment, whether it was Zhou Yan or Youyou, there was only one expression of surprise left on their faces.
In the face of the roaring fireball, the angry minotaur only grabbed it with his right hand and lifted the tomahawk on the ground. The swinging blade of the axe sliced through the air, leaving a series of roars. The fireball was then split in half by the air, and both hemispheres exploded behind it after bypassing the minotaur.
The hurricane from the explosion rustled the leaves, and the leeward minotaur leaped sharply, slashing down with an axe.
Zhou Yan jumped backwards quickly, and the axe slashed into the ground, leaving a deep crack.
Too fast, the minotaur's movements were completely disproportionate to its tall body. Zhou Yan already knew one thing, that is, he without a sword in his hand was definitely not the opponent of this minotaur.
Yoyo had already run some distance into the distance when the minotaur attacked Zhou Yan, and in a safe position, she resumed chanting magic, swinging her staff and releasing the fireball again.
However, in the face of the flying fireball, the minotaur just bent down to avoid it. As long as it wasn't directly hit, the aftermath of the blast and the hurricane didn't have much of an impact on it.
"Thunder!" After the fireball flew out, Yoyo continued to chant, and if the fireball was not fast enough, he used fast enough magic.
As for the magic that Yoyo can think of that is fast enough, of course, it is lightning.
However, although the minotaur did not exceed the speed of lightning, he still easily avoided Yoyo's attack. Just use your combat instincts and experience to anticipate and dodge the magic moment before it takes shape.
"Woohoo! How could it be a complete miss! A lost voice came.
Zhou Yan didn't have any extra thoughts to comfort her. After the Minotaur's axe narrowly and dangerously swept through his abdomen, cutting a gaping hole in his clothes. Zhou Yan had already turned around and ran in the direction of Youyou.
"Yoyo!"
"Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan?"
"Run! Hurry up and run. Zhou Yan waved his hand.
"Huh?" Yoyo just froze for a moment, and then reacted.
Zhou Yan and the Minotaur were both very fast, and this distance no longer allowed her to continue chanting magic. So Yoyo turned around very consciously and began to run for their lives together. And then there's the scene you saw at the beginning.
Zhou Yan, who had just come to this world, didn't know that the Minotaurs were actually living in tribes. But there is a rule among the Minotaurs that the chief must be the strongest of the tribe. And those who dare to challenge the chieftain will be expelled from the tribe if they fail.
Therefore, these lonely minotaurs are actually powerful minotaurs with enough strength to fight the tribal chieftain.
When Zhou Yan heard this information from Li, he didn't even have the strength to be angry. Instead of being distracted and arguing with the glass in your mind, it is better to concentrate on running.
But Youyou, who had been following Zhou Yan not far behind, had already had obvious wheezing. After letting her as a magician forcibly run with her for so long, her body was already at its limit.
It was he who brought her into danger. Zhou Yan, who understood this, was not so thick-skinned that he ran away alone. Moreover, he has his own morality, although he wants to pretend to be more realistic and mature. But he was still an eighteen-year-old young man, and his heart was not as hard as dried wood.
There is a warm sensation flowing through the body. It was recognized in the previous world that there was no zài, and it was called an internal force, a thing of true qi.
"Yoyo! Keep running! Zhou Yan, who was originally running in front of Youyou, suddenly turned around.
"Huh?"
I could only hear the sound of confusion when I was wrong.
Without a sword, I would never be able to defeat this minotaur. But you don't need to hit it, although it will be dangerous, but as long as you run away, you don't have a chance to run away. Zhou Yan, who had made up his mind, didn't even bother to pay attention to whether Yoyo had already left, and was about to rush towards the minotaur.
But there was a gust of wind that was faster than him, and the wind that swept across his cheeks even brought a little pain. A slight bell ringing was heard in the wind.
It was a white shadow that was crashing into the arms of the angry minotaur at a rapid pace.
Zhou Yan, who stopped his pace because of what happened suddenly, saw that the white figure jumped high after crashing into the Minotaur's arms, and at the same time, a handful of blood flowers burst out on the Minotaur's chest.
Instead of suffering from the new wounds, the minotaur let out an even more furious roar.
I saw the minotaur swing his axe upward, and the axe that made a terrifying roar slashed straight at the white figure.
A muffled grunt was drowned out by the sound of metal clashing. The white figure, swept away by the terrifying force of the Minotaur's axe, adjusted his posture before it was about to hit the trunk of the tree, and with a kick of his feet, he slammed into the Minotaur again at a faster speed.
"Moo!" The Minotaur let out a furious roar, but as a battle-hardened warrior, it only took a step back, and the blade of the axe swept towards the white figure still in the air.
The white figure in the air continued to move forward, and it was bound to be swept away. And in the air, the white figure has nowhere to borrow power.
"Bloodstained!" Just two words were heard, and the white had been dyed red.
Zhou Yan couldn't understand what was going on, but he clearly saw the figure dyed red, and the body that was still in the air jumped up again, as if there was an invisible pedal in the air for him (she?). Borrowing.
As a result, the Minotaur's predicted sweeping axe was naturally swept away, and it became the enemy's second pedal. I saw the figure that had turned white again stepped on the axe, then jumped up, jumped behind the minotaur, and then grabbed the minotaur's horn with one hand and raised the other. Without hesitation, the short knife in his hand stabbed into the minotaur's neck.
It's too fast, it's happening too fast. It wasn't until a large amount of blood splattered from the Minotaur's neck and the smell of blood completely permeated the area that Zhou Yan felt that his heart was beating wildly.
He looked up at the subject who had drawn his dagger and jumped onto the branch to look down at him before the minotaur could fall to the ground.
A moment before Zhou Yan spoke, the other party spoke first: "Don't thank me for meow, because I'm an assassin." I'm here to kill you, meow. ”
