In Antoun's memory, it was the first time he fought on the grounds of survival. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The target has not yet appeared, but judging by all the circumstances, there is no doubt that the enemy will be a monster. Now that he can't break through the barrier and join Lilith, he didn't think about running away right away. However, with a lotus who has lost his eyesight and the distribution of the surrounding enemies cannot be accurately known, acting recklessly is tantamount to self-destruction.

At the very least, it is necessary to find out the enemy's intelligence.

"Miss Lian, please come closer to me. Once we've figured out what happened, we'll start running away at any moment. ”

After saying this, even he was a little surprised by his calmness. But fortunately, Lian didn't ask much, and silently reached out and fumbled to grab his already torn clothes, probably agreeing to his arrangement. This made him feel a little relieved, and he was engrossed in the movements.

The sound of squirming became more and more dense, causing Anthun's scalp to tingle, but the other party seemed to be deliberately testing his endurance, and he did not show his true body to attack.

Is it a certain level of intelligence of their own or is it a tactic that they are manipulated into? Or both?

I can't help but think of such a conjecture. Personally, the second scenario is a little easier to deal with, because it means that if you run away, you can get rid of the control of the unknown mastermind behind them, and thus eliminate the situation where they will attack according to their tactical instructions.

After all, there is a high probability that the main target of the other party should not be him and Lian, their existence is only equivalent to a side dish before the main meal, otherwise why wouldn't the other party show up in person to perform this good show. Of course, if you guess wrong, it's really a dead end.

Even though doing so would give way to where Lilith was, he was unwilling to stay where he was. Besides, if you want to stop it, you may not be able to stop it, it is better to wait until you are in a safe place to think about the strategy of coming back to help Lilith, and Lian agrees with his approach - he convinces himself to face the guilt in his heart.

Naturally, the situation could not be a stalemate indefinitely, and just as Antoun was about to start scrutinizing the dark forest to anticipate the offensive routes his opponent might use, the opponent conceded defeat in a patient game.

Three monsters that looked a little like spiders, but their entire body was grayish-white, and their body texture looked like rocks, and their appendages resembled those of a stone sword that had been cut into stone.

For his opponent in the first battle was actually such a thing, and the number had to be marked with a "three", which made Antoun feel a little caught off guard. He had thought it was a weaker breed, at least to look easier to deal with. Perhaps it was from the skin that he inadvertently touched to know his wavering, Lian asked softly.

"What's the matter, Mr. Anthun...... Is the situation so bad? ”

“…… I think that's it. Not good enough to shatter the last bit of my luck. ”

Hearing this, Lian visibly gasped. Then, less than half a second, after listening to the sound of only the enemy approaching them, she spoke eagerly as if she remembered something.

"What is this voice? Mr. Anthun, can you describe what the enemy looks like? ”

"Simply put, it's like a spider carved out of stone—"

"Possess appendages as sharp as a sword, right?"

As soon as he wanted to ask, "How do you know?", he remembered that the other party had come here with Lilith to take risks, and it was normal for him to know something about the species in the area.

"We still have a chance."

Although there was still a panic in her body and voice, Lian's words were unusually determined.

"These monsters are a type of rock sword spider, and they should be the lowest kind of way to listen to your description. Their bodies are indeed hard and abnormal, and they are simply nightmarish existences for ordinary first- and second-order warriors. And Mr. Antun, although you may not even be a first-order warrior, the 'Moon Shadow' in your hand is an excellent alchemy product, a 'magic sword' that has reached the level of a relic. Even if you can't fully exert its power because of the scarcity of magic power in your body and your lack of knowledge of how to use magic items, it can still be called a special effect weapon against the rock sword spider. By the way, what is the moon in the sky right now? ”

Lian spoke very quickly and quickly with a long message about the enemy in front of him, and rekindled the hope in his heart. So he also tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, otherwise he would disappoint Lian Qiang's intention to pretend to be calm.

"It's Blue Moon Theresia."

"Remember the words engraved on the hilt of the sword? The sword that has absorbed the power of the moon of the water flow attribute is now a water flow attribute itself. And although it's called the Rock Sword Spider, the lowest-level guy is 'no attribute' instead of the leyline attribute that restrains the flow of water, and you have to thank the gods for that. ”

"I'll go and pray when I escape this hellish place alive!"

At the end of the conversation, Antun was equivalent to shouting, this was not because he wanted to deliberately scare Lian, it was purely unintentional. As the rock sword spiders that were getting closer and closer to them during their conversation seemed to feel the time to end the observation phase and begin to test the strength of their prey, the largest of them seemed to lunge towards the two of them.

As he uttered a phrase that symbolized the end of the conversation, Antoun remembered a few moves that Lilith had taught him earlier, and then raised his sword to block.

Yes, that's right, it's blocking. He knew that he could not be like the hero of the adventure story that the bard sings, slashing at the enemy head-on and receiving the medal of victory in the next moment, the corpse of the enemy who was cut open, as the bard sings about the adventure story. To be sure, he also had to hold the Moon Shadow in one hand, and then use that hand against the side of the blade.

Fortunately, although the rock sword spider's jumping attack was powerful, it was not completely irresistible under his full strength.

Looking at the huge chelicera and tentacles in front of you, it is impossible to say that there is no panic in your heart. But now is not the time to show weakness, there are two guys in the back, even if they pretend, they have to look stronger in the first hit.

But now he has no spare energy to complete the superfluous movements, and the rest can only be entrusted to his companions.

"Miss Lian! Whatever you want! Put an offensive spell! If you get so close, you should be able to tell the location of the enemy by magic! ”

At this moment, he can be said to have completely entrusted his life, but fortunately, the other party also responded to his expectations. An arrow of light flashed from his flank, and after instantly reflecting the ugly appearance of the enemy, I don't know whether to say it was a coincidence or something, it was accurate to enter his mouth.

With a miraculously completed blow, the rock sword spider leaped backwards in pain, and Antoun's hands were freed. Then he didn't look back, and shouted to Lian.

"I don't have time to explain, it's on my back!"

Hoping that the other party would understand quickly, he took the "Moon Shadow" in his mouth and put his hands behind his back. And it seemed that Lian obeyed him well, so when he stretched out his hand, he touched the softness of the adventurer's costume.

"Huh?"

The companions let out a stunned voice, and Antoun was not so sluggish that he couldn't realize the fact that the soft real body was actually which part of the other person's body. But there was no time for the two to be shy.

After being temporarily repelled by the light arrow, the rock sword spider that launched the tentative attack did briefly fall into a state of hesitation to attack again, and the other two did not make too obvious movements. However, it was probably discovered that Antoun and the others were just bluffing, and all three of them had a tendency to step forward again.

If Xiang only had one just now, it would be okay, and the opponent attacked at the same time, then Antun would definitely not be able to stop it. Moreover, the attack released by Lian just now also revealed that there was indeed not much magic left in her, and it was still due to luck that a weak spell like that could be used to make a difference. So it's even less likely to expect her to use spells to block it.

After the elimination, all that was left was to escape. Escaping into the forest behind the rock spider is not a no-no, that would be tantamount to throwing yourself into a net. Not to mention how to get around the three large, encircled monsters, and the dangers lurking in the darkness, Antun didn't want to leave his life to luck.

Therefore, the way out is still behind us. Of course, it's not a stupid plan to try to break the seal and enter the cave now, but to go to the top of the cave where there has been no movement.

Although the rock wall where the cave is located only provides a drop of about three people, it doesn't seem very difficult to climb, and the rock sword spider can't even cross this obstacle, but it is enough to have this height advantage in a short period of time.

At least one of them must be solved by taking advantage of the location.

That's what Antoun thinks most truly. He put a lot of force on his hand, so that Lian's entire weight pressed down on his back. Probably because of the long hours of hard labor in the lost memory, just carrying the lotus did not make him feel too hard.

This time, Lian didn't exclaim, but put her hands over her shoulders to his chest while exhaling softly in his ear.

With Moon Shadow in his mouth, he couldn't speak normally, so he let out a few sounds similar to "woo" from his throat, indicating to Lian that he was about to start acting.

Without waiting for her answer, Antoun immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the cave. The edge of the horizon captures the enemy's leap into the air, and then someone's voice rings in your ears.

"Arrow of Punishment!"

You don't have to think about it to know who is shouting. Since the other party didn't name the spell he used before, it meant that this was not a necessary action, and now it was just to remind him.

Almost instantly, there was a screaming sound from behind that that seemed to be suffering greatly, and the sound of a heavy object colliding and then falling to the ground. This made Antoun wonder if there was something wrong with his hearing, otherwise the two of them would have been too lucky, right?

Reaching the finish line quickly, he let go of the hands that held Lian's body in place, and used precious time to climb above the rock wall. Lian's weight, which had not yet embarrassed him on the gentle ground, had now become a shackle that restrained his movements. The hilt of Moon Shadow's sword became the object of his bite as he tried his best.

When he climbed to the top of the gap formed by the rock wall, he looked back and confirmed that the distance advantage he had earned with great difficulty due to Lian's spell had been exhausted.

Closely following them, the largest rock sword spider was still the largest one stuck in the rock wall. The other two are still on the ground. The one who ate the lotus magic arrow just now was also the one who looked like the dominant guy in this enemy, and its head was already a little shattered at this moment.

One person and one demonic beast looked at each other like this, and for just a moment, it actually jumped up directly on the rock wall and pounced on Antun.

It seems that the enemy is indeed controlled by someone, and there is not much intelligence in itself, and the attack pattern is very monotonous. Thinking about it this way, unlike when he had avoided a frontal attack, the current enemy could not be fully exerted to his strength, so he slashed downward with his sword in one hand.

The oncoming rock sword spider didn't seem to be so terrifying under the relic-level magic sword that was said to be a water flow attribute, and the sharp silver-white blade slashed its injured head, splashing a large body fluid.

It seems that it is at least a creature and not a magic-powered golem.

The body of the rock sword spider that was hit by this blow no longer seemed to be under control, and it staggered to the ground with a loud sound. When its companions noticed this, they not only did not become cowardly, but climbed more quickly towards the rock face.

Fang Cai's trick must have been useless against the two enemies, and Antoun thought for a moment and immediately decided to escape as originally planned.

Without hesitation, he carried the lotus into the forest above the rock wall, and naturally he didn't notice that there was a wisp of aura that others could not detect when he caught up with the two enemies. The aura crept into his body faster than any living being.
