Chapter 989: Sneak Attack!
Chapter 989: Sneak Attack!
"But does it really work?"
Jeluka is still skeptical of my omnipotent passion, what an ignorant fellow.
"It's okay, I've already seen it, Hillmanya is just blaming herself too much at this time, if someone can stand up and give her some pain, maybe her heart will be a little better, so it doesn't really matter what you say, what matters is the slap, Eun."
With a deep gaze, like a sorcerer peeping into people's hearts, I put the jar full of cold water on top of the freshly lit bonfire, and in a few moments I will be able to drink hot boiling water, saying that the forest night is really cold, and I hope it won't rain these days.
"I see." Jeluka clapped her palm.
Haha, I finally figured it out, admire Uncle Ben's methods, I'm not without pride.
"His Royal Highness is using his own habit of masochism to measure the thoughts of others, which is the so-called self-treatment?"
ββ¦β¦β
Take your sister to yourself, you are M, and your family is M
I didn't pay any attention to the yellow maid, she seemed to be satisfied with the complaint just now, and concentrated on making dinner.
After about half an hour, it wasn't until the pot of broth that Jeruka was about to be cooked that Hillmanya's figure came out of the black twilight in the distance, and after a lot of crying, her spirit seemed to calm down a little, and after a simple tidying, her hair parted in the middle and hung down along the sides, a bit like Sadako coming out of the TV, which had the advantage of hiding her somewhat red and swollen cheeks.
But it's a pity that Jeluka and I are both druids and intelligence chiefs, and our eyes are all thieves and thieves, so we almost didn't shoot any strange beams, even if we didn't plan to study what Hillmanya's face had become, we could inevitably see the abnormalities above, especially the right cheek, which was obviously a little bulging than the left.
Sorry, that's what I fanned.
Jeluka cast a sharp gaze at me, as if to say that it was really worthy of the beast prince, but he really didn't show any mercy, and I was speechless about it.
It's good to sleep for one night, adventurers are all Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten, like this Cheng dΓΉ is red and swollen, and the effort to wipe his face is gone.
"I'm so sorry, I don't know what to say anymore, and I'm causing trouble for the two of you along the way."
Hillmanya, who covered most of her face, bent straight down towards us.
"Needless to say, sit down, dinner is almost cooked."
I moved out of my place and beckoned Hillmanya to sit down, and the three of them were in a triangular position, staring motionlessly at the campfire and the dinner above, and though my eyes were all in the same place, I could assure you that my thoughts were far apart,
"You two go and rest, I'll keep vigil."
After dinner, I stretched and waved at Hillmanya and Jeroka, motioning for them to go to the tent to sleep, then again, it's been a long time since I've had a vigil, and I've grown rapidly over the years, and I'm staying in the first and second worlds, which make me lack a sense of crisis, and incidents like sneak attacks are basically floating clouds for me.
"No, let me come, the two adults go to sleep." Hillmanya's gaze was steadfast.
"It's just you who can't"
Did I refuse with the same voice, cut, and synchronized? I actually ...... with this yellow maid I glared at Jeluka depressedly, but I didn't expect her to also stare at me with a depressed gaze, as if it was a shame for her that I was synchronized with her, so who was the shame of whom? In this world, I don't have much confidence in temperance compared to others, but I only have a full sense of superiority over the old drunkard, Mu dwarf winter melon, old man Farah, little ghost, three-no princess, yellow duanzi maid, etc.
"This ......"
Hillmanya seemed stunned by my synchronisation with Jeluka, and was speechless for a moment.
"You're not in good spirits right now and need to rest." I'm kind enough to advise.
"In your current state, you are not qualified to keep vigil." Jeroka was unceremoniously to the point.
With her mouth wide open and stunned for a while, Hillmanya seemed to accept one of these words, bowed to us deeply, apologetically, and dragged her haggard body into the tent.
Next......
"This is an order, an order from the master to the personal maid, give me a place to sleep."
I immediately took out the shelf of His Royal Highness the Prince, this is my trump card, hum, I can't resist it.
"Forgive me for refusing, I am now the Knight of the Dew of the Rising Sun, and His Royal Highness has no right to order me."
It's so fast, this guy's class has become so fast, faster than in RPGs where you can switch titles as needed
"When it comes to you, Your Royal Highness, I don't feel at ease at all, I must have the idea of sneaking up on Himanya while we are asleep."
Because Hillanya was in the tent next to her, the yellow maid kept her voice low in order to maintain her image of integrity and fairness in the eyes of others.
ββ¦β¦β
Although I know that this guy has good intentions, but what he said is really incomprehensible.
"That's not going to work, I'm afraid you'll attack me at night when I'm asleep." I lowered my voice and looked at Jeluka with a sneer.
Jeroka: "......"
"His Royal Highness's cheeks are really getting thicker and thicker."
"I learned from you when I won the awards."
We continue to confront each other.
"Your Royal Highness may have a hard fight tomorrow, so rest well."
With a sigh, the yellow maid finally slowed down her expression, and after finishing speaking, she immediately turned her head away, and under the light of the bonfire, half of her face and neck were dyed red by the firelight, which looked very gorgeous and attractive.
Finally willing to say what is in my heart, and it is not embarrassing and shy to say it, what is this yellow maid twisting and pinching tsundere, wouldn't it be enough to say it earlier?
However, thinking back to the idea that I had guessed that this yellow maid was not good at getting along with others, I would like to forgive her for this roundabout attitude.
"Well, that's true, so I'm welcome."
yawned, I didn't pretentiously, no one knows when I will come into contact with the enemy, I don't have any expectations for Hillmanya's combat power, and the maid of Huang Duanzi will not shoot until the critical moment, even if she makes a move, with her half-baked combat experience, it is not reassuring, in the end, I still have to be a father and a mother alone, and I have to take care of the two of them to deal with the enemy, I really should have a good rest.
"If you take birth control pills in your dreams, you will die."
Jeruka was still facing me sideways, her face, which was pink by the firelight, puffed up slightly, and she didn't know what she was saying in anger, and I was already following her wishes.
Even in a dream, there is a limit to idiots, why should I take birth control pills for no reason?
Shaking my head, I hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to put up a blanket next to the campfire and sleep, although the tent was quieter and more comfortable, but Hillanya was already inside, and I was more accustomed to sleeping next to Jeluka, who had been with me for a while, than her, and most importantly, if I went inside to sleep, I didn't know what kind of gossip would be made up by this yellow maid.
"Huh~~Huhu~~"
In a few moments, the consciousness fell into darkness.
After listening to the sound of even breathing from the side for a while, Jeluka cautiously leaned in, looked at the person wrapped in the blanket, and gently stretched out a hand.
"If you dare to pinch my nose, I won't spare you."
My eyes widened, and my gaze fell on the little hand that was definitely ill-intentioned that Jeruka had reached over.
To be a thief (?) Jeluka jumped back like a rabbit and sat with her back to her, must have cursed me in a little circle.
Really, it's like a child, and I don't look at me when I'm still in the state of moon wolf transformation, is it so easy to approach and bully...... Wait, could it be that when I usually cancel my transformation and fall asleep, this yellow maid often takes the opportunity to come over and tease her sleeping self?
Damn, pray that next time I don't get caught, bastard, in the absence of evidence, I can only glare at Jeluka's back and grit my teeth for a while, close my eyes again and fall asleep.
The sleep was sound, and when I woke up, it was already dark, and Jeluka was making breakfast with the last bit of heat from the campfire, and Hillmanya sat across from the campfire, still shrouded in a dark shade of gray, with her head bowed and silent.
After filling our stomachs, the three of us set off towards the last goal.
The goal of this time,It's also a point that we look forward to the most.,After all, there's a pseudo-realm mid-level squadron leader.,That is, Hillmanya's childhood sweetheart.,The battle should be a little more intense.,It's more likely to leave traces.,I just hope the enemy won't notice this.,Deliberately erase the traces.γ
The distance of the fourth target was a little farther, it took two hours, and it was almost noon before we arrived at the area where the incident occurred.
It's still the same division of labor, Hillmanya looks for traces, Jeluka takes care of protection, and I go search for enemies.
However, I had just finished searching an area when I heard Hillmanya's exclamation in the distance, and I thought something was happening, so I quickly turned around and ran back, only to find the old god Jeluka standing there, not as if he had encountered an enemy.
Could it be that there is a clue? It's fast enough this time.
Looking back, it was really like that, and it should be said that what Hillmanya found this time was a battle trace that even a half-person like me could notice.
There are branches that have been broken by force, even waist-thick trunks, and traces left by elemental attacks, such as trees scorched by fire, large areas of withered grass and trees due to freezing, scratches from some weapons, and potholes on the surface.
Even if these places were covered by a thin layer of new bushes, it could not be hidden, it was too obvious.
Sure enough, it was a team led by a pseudo-realm intermediate and a junior level, and it seems that it took a considerable amount of stubborn resistance to cause this kind of scene.
The three of us followed these traces all the way, walking forward, and our hearts were secretly vigilant, and the intuition that the adventurer had exercised was trembling slightly, prompting the possibility of danger ahead.
As the indescribable uncomfortable feeling became stronger and stronger, I had already held the Ji Ji Sword in my hand, covered with a layer of frozen power, and seeing this, Jieluka also slightly frowned at the willow eyebrows, and the next moment, the huge sword of the rising sun was held in her arms.
"Hillmanya, can you see something?" I asked softly next to me.
"These traces...... It was indeed left behind by the elven warriors, and as for the enemy, I have not been able to analyze what exactly it is from the traces above, the scope is too large. β
"This is also, you search carefully, take your time, don't rush."
I nodded in agreement, the monster attributes of the third world are indeed too complicated, for example, a skeleton soldier who only knows how to attack physically, when the strength reaches a certain level, it is promoted to the boss, elite or even small boss level, and it may also obtain some attributes such as fire enhancement and freezing enhancement, so that its attack can also leave elemental traces, so it is difficult to judge what kind of opponent is from these traces.
Of course, there are also some special traces that can tell at a glance who the other party is, such as the big bug Duriel, where it passes must be frozen for thousands of miles, just like a slug, it will drag a long trail on the ground, and a pair of front paws (or cheap feet) that move will leave a pair of deep pits on the ground, so special that any other monster can't imitate it.
"Here"
Hillmaya let out a sudden exclamation and crouched down, rubbing a charred black piece in her hand.
"Cloth, the craft of our elves."
Jeluka shook her head, not sure if she was sighing for the warriors, or for clues that weren't important, or both.
Not far ahead, we found some more fragments of armor and even a broken rapier.
Is it the power to crush these pieces of equipment?
With a heavy and increasingly cautious heart, we took another step, and then we were greeted by a stain of blood, the mere sight of which was enough to imagine the ferocity of the battle, or the cruelty of the unilateral slaughter of the enemy.
"Soon, if there's anything else, it should be not far ahead."
With this inexplicable realization, we tensed up our nerves and continued to move forward for hundreds of meters, when the vision in front of us suddenly opened up, and in front of us was a small lake in the forest, and a lush green meadow around us.
In normal times, this tranquil scene of forests, lakes and meadows would be a fairyland-like picture, but at this moment, we gritted our teeth, our eyes were sour, and we couldn't say a word.
In that open meadow, there are dozens of bloody corpses lying horizontally, in a terrible state of death, thrown here for a long time, the corpses have begun to emit the smell of decay, there are traces of wild beast bites, a large area of grass stained red by the dark red blood of the * dried up, spread straight to the lake water, you can imagine the hell scene when their corpses were just thrown here.
From the armor cloth left on these corpses, and the more obvious pointed ear characteristics, it can be very certain that they are elves, and there is a good chance that they are those missing elf warriors, and after a slight glance, we suddenly knew in our hearts that it should be the three missing squads in front, and their bodies were also brought here and abandoned.
"No ~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
A terrible scream erupted from Hillmanya's mouth, and Jeluka and I stood solemnly, our swords upside down and straight, our lips pressed against the blades, praying silently for the dead warriors.
"No, it must be a dream, it must be a dream, sue me, it's just a dream, Ritter, you're still alive, you're hiding nearby, right, that's it, Ritter"
Hilmanya called out the name of her childhood friend and staggered towards the large corpse.
"Wait," I pressed Hillmaya tightly, who was about to lose consciousness.
Or use mental power to scout.
My eyes fell on the pile of corpses, and I was secretly vigilant in my heart, if it wasn't for the fact that I didn't want to desecrate these dead corpses, or just a bunch of monster corpses, I didn't bother to investigate, and just slashed into the pile of corpses with a sword.
Judging from the attack on the fourth squad, the enemy is very cunning and good at grasping the flaws exposed by the other side, and it is very likely that this pile of corpses is deliberately piled up here to make us distracted, and then launch a surprise attack.
If you want to sneak attack, where is the best place to hide? Not in the surrounding woods, not in the lake not far away, but in the pile of corpses, because I expected that we would definitely be close to inspect or mourn and bury these corpses, it was really easy to sneak attack inside, as for other places, I had already scanned it with my mental power, and I didn't find the enemy's breath, the only possibility was that there was only one inside this pile of corpses.
At the same time as stopping the dejected Hilmanya, I opened up the pseudo-realm, and my spiritual power also searched in the pile of corpses, to be honest, it was very disgusting and terrifying, and the mental power in charge of the search was equivalent to my hands and eyes, imagining what it would be like to stuff my hands and eyes into a pile of rotting corpses...... Forget it, it's not the first time I've done this kind of thing anyway, and it's certain that I won't be able to eat meat for the next three days.
There are no enemies.
After a quick search, I withdrew my mental strength and let go of Hilla, who seemed to have come back to her senses, and she was still struggling, she also sensed my intentions, and turned back with a grateful look, then took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to slowly walk towards the corpses.
However, as if announcing that the prey had finally entered the range of the cobwebs, a "corpse" lying on the ground suddenly jumped up at a ghostly speed that was unreactive, picked up the big sword lying next to her, and slashed at Hillmanya, who had no time to react.
The terrifying attack that emptied the air around it, creating a vacuum and a violent cyclone, announced to everyone that in a second, the greatsword was enough to slash Hilmanya
