Chapter 156: Mercenary Challenge Six
"In the next game, Joseph vs. Shirley," Krees said indifferently, not at all surprised to see Marilian's defeat, although even he didn't know where this determination came from. Pen Ć fun Ć Pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Wait... Wait a minute, commander, Iā" Joseph's face changed dramatically when he heard this.
"How?" Krees turned his head and looked at Joseph coldly, this person was the most unstable person in his Scarlet Cross mercenary group, belonging to the typical two-faced character, the reason why he joined his team was because Joseph was also the leader of an A-class mercenary group back then, and he happened to take on the same task as himself - to eliminate a seventh-level angry demon bear.
However, at that time, Joseph's strength was only level six, and the strength of his members was also uneven, so he ventured to the Demon Bear's lair without full preparation, resulting in everyone dying inside, but only Joseph escaped alone, and happened to meet Krees and his Scarlet Cross at the entrance of the Demon Bear's lair.
After briefly telling the story of what happened, Joseph was willing to lead the way for Krees and others for free, and finally successfully eliminated the demon bear with the tacit cooperation of the team, and when cleaning the battlefield and sorting out the corpses of Joseph's members, a pair of members found that in a hidden place in the corner of the wall, someone wrote the words "Joseph harmed me" in blood.
Krees didn't say much after learning about this, because the Scarlet Cross was at a critical time to expand his team at that time, Krees thought that this kind of person could suppress him as long as he used strong force, and the results also verified his idea, Joseph has been safe and stable in his Scarlet Cross mercenary group in recent years, although occasionally he will make some small mistakes, but Krees has chosen to avoid the serious and forgive him.
"Just now you told me to let the other side have a good look at your strength, why did you change your hexagram now?"
"Captain, I deeply suspect that those people on the other side have misrepresented their true strength, do you think when Marilian miscalculated her magic! Being possessed by the Spirit Enchantment can also use Dou Qi, which shows that the girl just now can't be a sixth-level fighter at all! ā
"This is the challenge rule of the mercenary world, and it is we who are challenged, even if the opposite side is a super master with ninth-level king-level strength, we can only bite the bullet, you hurry up and play, the girl on the other side has been waiting for you for a long time" Krees didn't bother to talk nonsense with Joseph, and pushed him out directly with his shoulder.
"......" Joseph turned his head and scolded grimly, but he didn't make a sound, just waved his mouth.
At this time, Shirley had already stood in place and waited for Joseph's arrival, still dressed in snow-white plain clothes, with her long light blue hair, and a white longbow on her back.
"Hmph, I'm Joseph, master-level strength, looking at your appearance, you should also be an archer, you should know how serious the difference in rank will be in the same profession, if you don't want to die, surrender quickly!" Joseph pretended to be calm and pointed at Shirley.
"Hello, my name is Shirley" Shirley also bowed slightly, ignoring Joseph's words.
"Humph! I don't know what to do, I'll give you one last chance! ā
"......" Shirley shook her head slightly, she knew that Joseph was pretending to be alive, but in the face of a real seventh-level master, she didn't dare to have the slightest support, she directly took off the longbow on her back, put it on her slender fingers that were as white as jade, and gently pulled the bowstring with her other hand.
"Wow~ She's so beautiful!" Some sharp-eyed people can clearly see Shirley's appearance, the spotless white dress, with her long light blue hair fluttering in the wind, exquisite facial features and dusty temperament instantly make many men regard her as their goddess.
"Then don't blame me for being rude!" Seeing that Shirley had already taken off the longbow, Joseph knew that this battle could not be avoided no matter what, and with the defeat in the first three games and the strange moves on the opposite side, Joseph's psychological pressure increased sharply!
He trusted his instincts, which had saved him countless times before, and a voice kept shouting at him from the bottom of his mind, "You're no match for the girl on the other side!" āć
If it had been left in the past, Joseph would definitely find all kinds of reasons to excuse himself, and he would have avoided it if he could, but limited to the challenge rules of the mercenary world, now he has to play hard-headed no matter what.
Archer, is the most common profession in the Asian Blue Continent, that is, outside the warrior profession, any team is inseparable from the existence of the archer, he can cause long-range attacks in the shortest possible time, although this can also be done by magicians, but the archer's cost performance is obviously higher.
But high-level archers are rare, and master archers like Joseph are even rarer, because they all belong to fighters after all, and high-level masters who don't want their appearances to be majestic, so they generally choose melee attack weapons, and are more shy of this profession of putting cold arrows in the shadows.
Joseph is this kind of person, who looks like a white-faced nobleman who is harmless to humans and animals, and who always gives people a very high level of cultivation and knows aristocratic etiquette very well when he rests. But when it comes to the mission, you basically can't find Joseph on the battlefield, you can only see cold arrows shot from various dark corners, and each arrow fired will easily take the enemy's life.
But today, in a one-on-one battle with more than 100,000 spectators, Joseph is honestly a little out of the game. His concealment and stealth methods are useless, his advantages are all gone, he belongs to the kind of person who is extremely cautious, not to mention that he has deep doubts about Shirley's true strength.
After "whew" tangled for a long time, Joseph breathed a sigh of relief, and now the win or loss of the game is no longer important. As long as I'm not as badly injured as the previous ones, thank goodness.
And in the process of grinding and chirping, Shirley did not say a word from the end to the end, still maintaining her posture of drawing her bow and aiming at Joseph quietly waiting for his attack.
"Let's get started! Don't keep people waiting for you that long! ā
"It's just that a big man is not decisive at all!"
"If you dare to hurt my goddess, I can't spare you!" The crowd that was quickly followed by Shirley's circle has begun to let out bursts of boos.
"Damn, you idiots, what are you fooling about" Joseph also took a bow in a gesture, but his posture was clearly not as coherent as before, disturbed by the boos around him.
Suddenly! At this moment, Joseph's eyes met Shirley's!
It was a pair of cold and ruthless pupils, without a trace of life, with Joseph's strength and super eyesight, he couldn't even tell if Shirley was looking at him, as if she had slipped away, and her mind was not on her body at all!
"No, it won't!" Joseph scolded in his heart, it seems that his idea is really correct, this girl named Shirley doesn't look young and beautiful, but it gives him the feeling that he is facing thousands of troops. What made him even more incredible was that the other party didn't even look at him, and his qi was not locked, but even so, he still felt like he was in the boundless cold zone, and his whole body began to tremble, and even the hand that pulled the bow shook involuntarily.
"Calm down! Calm down! Joseph Daken, you can definitely defeat her and shoot an arrow with all your might! Joseph was frightened, and he kept repeating this sentence in his heart, repeating it over and over again, but he still couldn't straighten his legs, which were about to turn into noodles.
The other party stood quietly in front of him, but he couldn't aim at her anyway.
Shirley smiled, a very confident smile, and she knew that the psychological offensive she had inflicted on Joseph had worked, which could easily be seen from his posture. Archers' duels are very rare, because of their special profession, and generally the most suitable for fighting is not in the open area, otherwise they will not be able to give full play to their greatest advantages, after all, archers are not very suitable for close combat.
When Shirley was a child, she was carefully instructed by the elders of the clan how to hunt on the snowy mountains, after all, all the beasts that can survive in that harsh environment are all clever, but whenever there is a wind and grass, even a slight vibration from under the snow will make them hide back in their holes, so Shirley learned a special skill, which is to 'integrate' herself into the environment, this practice is not a stunt such as disappearing, but just to make people see her, but not to catch her.
And Shirley's smile was really included in Joseph's eyes, as if it was a signal, Joseph yelled "Look at the arrow!" A fierce cyan light flashed all around his body, and a large stream of energy visible to the naked eye quickly gathered in his hands, and the momentum was full of smoke and dust in the field.
"Ahh After all, Joseph couldn't resist the defense line in his heart, his mind was now blank, he couldn't care about the content of the previous meeting, and there was only one last task left in his heart, which was to use all his strength!
"That idiot! With such a large amount of energy, the fighting qi pocket of the wrist will be broken! Krees saw Joseph begin to cry out in pain, and immediately noticed that something was wrong.
"Ahhh!!h When Joseph was pulled back to reality by the heart-rending pain, he couldn't stop the energy in his hand, the seventh-level fighter Rao is body was already tough enough, but he still couldn't pass through such a huge amount of energy in an instant, and Joseph pinched it all in his hand in order to maximize the accumulation of energy and did not release it.
A cyan pillar of light with a diameter of several meters and a thickness shot directly in the direction of the auditorium! This was not done by Joseph on purpose, but at this time, the fighting qi points of his wrists had been damaged, and he could not control his hands without any strength, so he could only let the energy in his hands shoot out at will.
"Mom! Run, madman! ā
This arrow suddenly panicked an area of the auditorium, and watched the thick cyan pillar of light flying towards it, and one by one the frightened souls flew out of the sky and fled in all directions.
'Boom Boom Boom! The defensive enchantment around the field was instantly opened, and the cyan pillar of light made a deafening sound the moment it collided with the defensive enchantment, and the defensive enchantment only shook violently for a few times before it recovered as before, worthy of being shot by the elders of the magic guard team of the Yueluo Empire, such an amazing energy can be easily lowered by the defensive enchantment released by these people.
When the smoke cleared, Joseph was the only one left in the center of the field, rolling on the ground with his wrists clutched, groaning in pain. Still smiling, Shirley withdrew her longbow, bowed again to Joseph who fell to the ground, and returned to Lin Lun's side.
"Go and bring Joseph back," Krees said to the people around him with a dark face.
