During the preparation time a few days before the gladiatorial fight, Xia Zuo went to the streets and alleys of Zeber, peddling props, and at the same time, he also bought various raw materials to synthesize a lot of props for himself.

These include "smoke bombs" made from "phosphor powder", "pine oil", "leather", and the spell marks on the "burning" scrolls.

The city doesn't have a smoke grenade, so it took a lot of effort to find its raw materials.

The merchants were puzzled why Xia Zuo wanted to buy a few of these materials, especially the "phosphorus powder", which could only be obtained in large quantities by evaporating the urine of the giant monster through alchemy, which no one would do in Zebel, even if it was a senior court mage, they didn't want to make the palace stink.

Then the merchant rummaged through the boxes and turned over some materials left over from the transactions of foreign travelers, and finally found all for Xia Zuo.

In addition, Xia Zuo didn't expect it to be used on the battlefield so soon.

"And how do you want to stop me?" Rodney's face was a little confident, but the other was jealousy, he never despised Xia Zuo.

"Like this." Xia Zuo blinked at the hotbar, and immediately automatically took out a baseball-sized smoke bomb from his bag and threw it forward.

Ten paces away, Rodney spotted the item, and for a moment thought about what the other party wanted to do—a magical item? Gas?

But whatever that is... Rodney raised his hand and opened the circle in front of the item, and the smoke bomb entered the circle, but it came out of the outside door circle next to Xia Zuo and fell to the feet of the original owner.

"Poof—"

A burst of white fog burst out in an instant, with a diameter of four or five meters, burying Xia Zuo.

“... Is that your plan? Rodney asked, raising his guard even more, "Indeed... You can obstruct my vision, but you seem to have missed your chance, you seem to have forgotten what my magic can do, and that thing can't get close to me. ”

"Hmm... I always thought that you would open the circle and slip away, so I gave it back. Xia Zuo broke through the fog unhurriedly, and the white smoke was hooked out of a few windings because of his walking, fortunately, the game character was not choked by his own smoke, and it was often the enemy who was choked, and he was free to enter and exit it, "But it doesn't matter, I can try a few more times." ”

After that, Xia Zuo took out the smoke bomb again, and this time the speed of throwing it out was much faster, and one after another.

Each was facing in a different direction, some aimed at Rodney, while others were at his feet. For this reason, the latter had to open a number of separate teleportation circles, causing the smoke bombs to change direction and appear next to Xia Zuo and in other corners of the throne hall.

"It's useless." Rodney declared.

And Xia Zuo ignored it, just threw continuously while advancing.

"All the weapons you threw at me will be transferred by me, and none of them will come close to me... And you, how many more of that stuff are left? ”

The closer Xia Zuo got to it, the more Rodney saw the four small bags around his waist.

"Three? No, two... You just throw the last two out and you're done. ”

Rodney asserts that because of the size of the bag, there is a maximum of seven or eight smoke bombs... But strangely, he's already thrown more than eight.

And still throwing, ten, eleven, twelve...

"What are you talking about? I have two sets of 99 here... Well, that's 198. ”

As soon as Xia Zuo's voice fell, he had already stepped on the steps of the Imperial Front, and he had never been so close to Rodney.

The smoke bombs diverted by Rodney filled the rest of the hall with white smoke, from the floor to the ceiling, and there was no empty space.

Suddenly, his range of movement was only within five or six steps of the throne as the center.

"What kind of fanny pack are you," Rodney frowned.

Xia Zuo took out the last two smoke bombs, lightly handed, and let them fall to his feet.

Since then, Rodney has been unable to transfer again, because the rest of the hall is invisible, and the portal circle cannot be opened in the distance.

With a pop, the two bursting smoke filled the only remaining space around Xia Zuo and Rodney, and suddenly the two of them couldn't see their fingers...

Ice Enchantment Slash.

The ice crystals condensed towards the throne, and Xia Zuo initially remembered the other party's location.

The throne was frozen in the shape of a crescent, and the smoke was blown away by the majesty of the waving, and Xia Zuo could see that there was no Rodney in front of him.

I never thought that Rodney was also a master of swordsmanship, and his ability to listen to voices and distinguish positions was far above Xia Zuo, aside from magic, if he talked about swordsmanship alone, Xia Zuo would never be Rodney's opponent.

On the hidden right, a silver-white sword suddenly stabbed in, and Xia raised his hand without turning his left hand to pick it up with the sword grid, and then the Valkyrie steel sword wrapped in ice and snow to counterattack.

The water in the atmosphere condensed into countless ice spikes, causing a splash of red in the white mist in front of them, and the mist was blown away by the sword wind.

Xia looked left and saw the cold ice he had created, one of which pierced Rodney's right cheek.

Rodney, who thinks that his swordsmanship is not weak, feels that this result is strange... He initially aimed at Xia Zuo's right cheek and stabbed it, but even now, he didn't mean to kill Xia Zuo directly.

It can be said that it is not surprising that he was blocked by Xia Zuo, who could easily parry even the acceleration sword.

But when he fought back, he was obviously coping, but he was still hurt in the face by magic - where he wanted to attack Xia Zuo... It's like a-for-tat without any bias.

Rodney had to think about the connection between his attack and his opponent's retaliation. Even if you try your best to dodge, you will be hurt by that foreknowledge skill and hurt the equal part.

The battlefield was already unfavorable to him, and Rodney quickly retreated to the floor-to-ceiling window, striking his back and breaking out of the window.

The body was carrying shards of glass, holding a position with a minimum area of force, and landed on the lawn surrounding the throne room.

Billowing smoke from smoke bombs in the hall poured out of the windows and swayed upward.

At the same time, Xia Zuo appeared at the broken window, he quietly watched Rodney pull out the ice thorns on his face, the blood couldn't stop staying, and from the wound, he could even see the white and neat big teeth inside.

"I'm not sorry, because that's what you're trying to make me be." Xia Zuo said calmly. Knowing that "fighting back" will fight back in a reciprocal way.

The tragedy was a shock to Palmer, who had never thought about Rodney's injured posture - such a thing as a face was not suitable for Rodney's handsome face.

Rodney didn't speak, but shook his head with a smile, which would only make his speech slurred. He took out the healing potion from his bosom and drank it, and suddenly there was a burst of green light, which made his face return to its original state, not even a scar.

"It's really a troublesome thing to only drink potions without mastering the healing technique..."After Rodney discarded the empty bottle, he responded to Xia Zuo for a long time, "But I have no magical adaptability except for the talent of the Door Circle, and the magic quartz presents me with the most essential white..."

"You escaped." Xia Zuo couldn't help laughing, "But it's you who want to kill me or subdue me, and now it seems that the cart is put before the horse." ”

"Yes, I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult."

"What are you going to do now? Do you think I'll leave this smoky hall with you? Go to the battlefield in your favor... I hope you haven't forgotten that you were the one who wanted to kill me, and that I had no reason to do so. ”

As soon as Xia Zuo's words fell, there was a sound of flapping wings in the sky.

"My lord Xia Zuo!"

It was Long Ge's figure, she swooped down at great speed, and landed on the lawn outside the window, smashing a concave on the grass beside Xia Zuo. And Long Ge was unharmed, standing up from a crouching position on one knee.

Now the battle situation has changed again, and Xia Zuo's side is two against one.

Why did the woman come back alone!? Rodney was amazed, where did the blazing breath go? ... And the creature armor and wings on the woman's body were so familiar......

"Did you finish off the enemy? Dragon Song. Looking at her new appearance, Xia Zuo almost didn't recognize it, but who else could there be besides her?

"I've found your target! My lord Xia Zuo. Ignoring the question, Long Ge gave priority to joyfully informing the good news.
