Chapter 44: Counter-Killing

"Pikachu."

Pikachu, who crashed into DeWitt, turned around and shouted at Chen Luo.

A vine swept across Pikachu's body, and Pikachu flew out screaming.

Pikachu struggled to get up, but before he could stand up straight, he fell down again, his hair turning purple at a visible rate.

It was the toxins of the purple smoke that were eating away at its body.

"Pikachu—"

Chen Luo's eyes were red, and his gaze regained firmness: "No, Pikachu couldn't give up, how could I give up, I couldn't die, and I didn't let Pikachu die like this." “

The teeth bit the tip of the tongue hard, and the intense stinging pain temporarily made the brain regain consciousness and start thinking about countermeasures.

Suddenly, Chen Luo's gaze moved down and landed on the broad-edged knife he was holding tightly in his hand.

His entire arm was bound, unable to move, and naturally unable to cut the vines with this knife.

However, his superpower is not only to control electricity, but also to control magnetic forces.

Chen Luo slowly spread out his palm and let go of the broad-bladed knife in his hand, but the knife did not fall to the ground, but stopped under Chen Luo's electric palm.

"Ahem......"

DeWitt staggered to his feet, looked down, and saw that the robe at the mouth of his heart had been torn through a hole, revealing the torn black leather armor inside, and a palpitation flashed in the depths of his eyes.

This is a magic armor made of fifth-level demonic beast fur, which has been scrapped at this time and has lost the aura of magic.

"The little thing is powerful, if I hadn't been wearing this Nether Armor, I might have been more than lucky."

Devitt muttered to himself, looked at Pikachu who fell to the ground, and said with a regretful face: "It's a pity that I fell into my magic poison and won't live for a few minutes, it's a waste, such a cub should be able to sell for a lot of money." ”

After speaking, he took out a bottle of healing potion and raised his head to take it.

Poof!

The sound of a blade entering the body sounded.

DeWitt's body trembled violently, and the healing potion in his hand fell to the ground and shattered with a thud.

With his eyes wide open, he looked down at his heart in disbelief, and there was a strangely shaped jet-black blade inserted in the torn leather armor.

"No—"

There was a strong unwillingness and resentment in DeWitt's eyes, and his body fell backwards to the ground.

As Devit died, the vines that bound Chen Luo also quickly withered, Chen Luo's legs weakened, and he almost knelt on the ground, forcibly enduring the paralysis of his body and walked towards Pikachu.

Chen Luo picked up Pikachu from the ground and found that it was dying, and his heart was very anxious, and he hurriedly walked over to look for an antidote on DeWitt.

However, Chen Luo didn't find anything, and then he saw a ring in DeWitt's hand, which was inlaid with a transparent gemstone that was not very large.

"Space Ring?"

Chen Luo's face was happy, and from his memory, he knew that this was a spatial ring.

It's no wonder that Devitt was able to take out magic scrolls and potions by tricks before, and the antidote must be in it.

Fortunately, there is no so-called prohibition on the space ring in this world, Chen Luo hurriedly took off the space ring and put it on his hand, and his consciousness sank into it.

The space inside the ring is not large, only less than two cubes, and it is mainly filled with various potions and some precious materials, a few magic scrolls, and a lot of cash.

The names of the potions were all marked on the bottles, and according to the color of the potion, Chen Luo quickly found the magic poison used by De Vita, and then found its antidote according to the name of the magic poison.

After taking out the antidote and feeding it to Pikachu, watching its fur gradually return to its normal color and its breath became calm, Chen Luo breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then took out the Poké Ball and put Pikachu inside, allowing it to recover inside.

Then, Chen Luo sat directly on the ground.

After most of the paralysis in his body was gone, Chen Luo got up, withdrew the broad-bladed knife, and took off the torn leather armor from DeWitt's body.

After that, Chen Luo walked into De Witt's house, which was very dimly lit, and only the moonlight from the door illuminated an area.

Chen Luo found the switch of the light, and after turning on the light, a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face.

There was a large laboratory bench in the room, with all kinds of experimental instruments and some strange things.

For example, dead rats, half of the corpses of unknown monsters, organs and limbs of some creatures, and so on.

Chen Luo even saw a huge glass box with a head soaked in green liquid.

To his surprise, this turned out to be the head of a blood clan, with a face basically similar to that of a human, but with scarlet eyes and a pair of sharp teeth, Chen Luo had seen records about the blood clan in the books about various races in the mainland in the library.

The Bloodline is not a large race, it is a very feared race, they feed on the blood of the lives of various races, devour their life force to strengthen themselves, and the more vigorous the lifeforms, the more they like them.

During the Race War a thousand years ago, there were blood tribes disguised as human races, taking advantage of the chaos to kill the creatures of various races, devouring their life force for their own use.

After the end of the war, the racial alliance that won the war strongly purged the blood clan, and the already scarce blood clan was almost extinct, and it has rarely appeared in the past thousand years.

DeWitt didn't know where to get the head of this bloodline and used it as experimental material for research.

"It looks like the dark magic that almost killed Betty may have something to do with this bloodline."

Chen Luo stared at the head of the blood clan in thought, then turned off the lights and turned to leave the room that made him uncomfortable.

……

As soon as Chen Luo walked into the tavern, Betty, whose eyes were moist, ran over and hugged Chen Luo tightly, as if he would disappear as soon as he let go.

"You...... You scared the hell out of me, I ...... I'm fine, why are you going to look for him. Betty sobbed, staccato in words.

From Haru's mouth, Betty learned that she was cast black magic and almost died, she was not stupid, and immediately understood what Chen Luo was doing, and she was almost in a hurry.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's all settled." Chen Luo caressed her back and comforted her softly.

Xia Lulu also flew over and landed on Chen Luo's head.

"It's okay, it's okay." Halu and the others also greeted them with a smile, and they were relieved to see that Chen Luo was safe and sound.

"You guy, you won't wait for us to go to that old ghost." Shirley scolded with a straight face.

When she heard the news, she immediately rushed over, and when she arrived at the tavern, Chen Luo had already left, so angry that she scolded the three of Haru, blaming them for not going with Chen Luo.

Halu said that he was very aggrieved, saying that Chen Luo asked them to stay to protect Betty, and he had no choice but not to agree.

Shirley became even more angry when she heard this, and scolded the three of them for being stupid, there are so many people in the tavern, since Betty has recovered, do those two bastards dare to come back?

The three of them heard the same, but the person had already left, and they didn't know where DeWitt was, so they had no choice but to wait anxiously.

"It's okay, it's settled, that old guy is no match for me." Chen Luo smiled.

Of course, he wouldn't say that he was almost killed, it was all in the past, and there was no need to let them worry about it.

"Where's Pikachu?" Xia Lulu suddenly asked.

The faces of the Haru people changed.

"He's fine, he's a little injured, I'll take it back to rest first." Chen Luo hurriedly said.

When everyone heard this, their hearts fell again.
