Chapter 2 Hunting
The climate of Devil's Island changes depending on the region, and sometimes the rainforest is still pouring rain, and on the other side is the scorching desert, a magical weather that no one has been able to decipher to this day.
The location of Lucy's ambush happened to be in the rainforest area on the edge of the island.
The sun was still shining, and a few muffled thunders rang out, and in an instant it began to rain heavily in the sky, and the thick raindrops fell on the giant's leaves and crackled. The rain flows down the leaves, splashing strings of water that gradually merge into streams.
In such weather, even if you pick up the leaves, you can't see the world in the distance. Lucy simply slowed down his breathing and slowly entered a state of absoluteness, and if someone was next to him at the moment, he would not be able to detect his existence. On a banana tree seven or eight meters away beside him, an unknown substance about the size of a human eyeball slowly poked out of a black mist, and even though Lucy closed his eyes, he could see his surroundings through this fog eye.
I don't know if the prey will pass by this road, so let's wait another half an hour, if he hasn't come yet, forget it.
Luci Wanders Outside.
I'm really not suitable to be a killer, and I don't know what I would do if I were a person who beat up the enemy Hakka to carry out this kind of assassination mission.
Just as Lucie's thoughts were flying, through the visual sharing of the black fog ball, he saw the direction of landing on the island, and a figure slowly appeared.
Is this coming?
As the figure approached, his face was clearly conveyed to Lucy's mind. This is a short and sturdy man, and even the heavy rain can't hide the fierce light in his eyes.
Not...... Judging from the string of scorpion tattoos on his face, it should be the goal of this trial.
B-class criminal "Hyena" Edwin. Because of his misfortune as a child, he later suffered a psychological abnormality, and after successfully obtaining a hunter's license, he killed a hunter sent by the association to teach him enlightenment through a sneak attack. He then traveled to various countries and killed more than 50 people.
His favorite way to kill was to skin them, make them into handicrafts, and sell them to collectors with the same penchant through underground auctions. Four years ago, after paying for the lives of three bounty hunters, it was a one-star hunter who took his hand to arrest him.
As long as I kill this guy, I'll be considered a successful graduate...... Thinking of the promise with Potter White, Lucy slowly opened his eyes, and a little black mist converged on his right hand.
As Edwin passed by the giant leaf, the boy jumped up, and at some point a strange long knife made of black mist appeared in his hand, slashing at the back of the head of the criminal who was caught off guard!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Is it a B-class criminal for graduation assessment?"
A thousand meters above the rainforest, there is an airship with the logo of a dragon's head parked. In the manned cabin, a short "bean-faced man" with a face shaped like a bean held a report and exclaimed: "Even from the perspective of a professional hunter, hyenas are tricky, and it seems that Mr. Potter White is very confident in his nephew's strength." ”
Across from him was a comical, grotesque giant with an explosive head. The giant man was eating all kinds of food on the table, and said indistinctly, "Although Little Lucy has been practicing with Mr. Potter White for nine years, as far as I know, he has been studying for less than two years. The other party is a good player who has been studying for six years, is it really okay? ”
At the end of the long table hangs a monitor with a picture of Luci's area. Potter stared at the surveillance screen with his arms crossed, and his words revealed a strong confidence in Lucy:
"After this exam, I'll introduce Lucy to the association."
"Look, that kid...... It's not easy. ”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just as the long knife was about to slash into Edwin's head, a scimitar narrowly blocked it, making a metal crashing sound. Edwin's original stunned expression disappeared, and he changed to a hideous demeanor, took out a scimitar in his left hand, and reflexively swung it out like thunder and lightning.
A flash of cold light!
Lucy clutched his lower abdomen and retreated more than a dozen steps, even though he had wrapped himself in a solid body at the last moment, his abdomen was still cut with a wound.
My body has been trained, and even if I don't need to think about protecting my body, it is not something that ordinary blades can hurt.
Lucy narrowed his eyes slightly, the two scimitars ...... It's not very much.
Edwin sneered: "I felt something was wrong from the moment I landed on the island, I was obviously imprisoned at the bottom of the trap tower before, how did I suddenly get here, and I was released from the shackles of telekinesis." ”
He looked the black-haired boy up and down, and made a pre-attack gesture with his two knives: "Boy, are you the devil?" Licking the corners of his mouth, Edwin tilted his head and spat on a giant tree beside him, making a crackling electric sound, and a thumb-sized camera fell from the tree.
"Sure enough, it looks like I'm involved in a hunting game." Edwin took a deep breath, first observed the surroundings vigilantly, and then slowly showed excitement: "It doesn't matter, do you know how long I've been locked up?" Exactly four years! ”
"I haven't skinned a single person in four years, and you know how much torture it was for me? Whatever the situation may be, all I know is that I can finally kill again! ”
"Rest assured, as my first feast in four years, I will enjoy it. I won't let you die until I'm done. Looking at Lucy in fascination, Edwin's expression became more and more crazy, and a rich thought emanated from his body, almost turning into substance.
In the face of such malice, Lucy just looked at his wound with some distress.
His knife was also coated with poison, which prevented the wound from healing itself, and could only stop the bleeding as much as possible...... It seems that a quick solution is coming.
Just as Edwin was about to attack, Lucy raised his head:
"Excuse me, how did you find me? I should have hid it well, and it was only the moment I shot that I leaked my breath. He had no desire to fight, but sat down, and had the leisure to pull a banana leaf over his head.
Like a student seeking the teacher's answer, Lucy asked curiously, "Could it be that your reflex nerve is enough to react in an instant?" ”
Perhaps it was the four years of dark imprisonment that made Edwin have enough patience, and in his opinion, although the young man in front of him is also open, it seems very immature in both quality and quantity. Since he is destined to be the soul of his own sword, he does not hesitate to solve the doubts of his prey before he dies:
"It's [Condensation]."
"I've been in a state of [Condensation] since I woke up," he first praised, "I used [Absolute] to isolate the aura to hide, and then used that surveillance eye to detect the surrounding situation, a good tactic." ”
"But under my condensation, that black ball of fog is as striking as a light bulb in the night. I raised my vigilance after noticing the black ball that was obviously composed of telekinesis, to be honest, your [Jue] has been used very well, and I only found out about you the moment you made a move. ”
Edwin shook his backhand and said murderously: "So, I answered your question, can I have a happy torture and killing?" ”
"I see," Luci raised his right hand, and the long knife made of black mist turned into a wisp of black mist and burrowed into his body under his mind, which seemed to be evasive and did not fight, which made Edwin frown.
"I said, I've already applied [Concealment] on the Eye of Kilrog, I didn't expect you to keep condensing, this vigilance alone makes me look at you with admiration, a B-class criminal is so tricky, it's hard to imagine how terrible those spiders are." The boy was still sitting cross-legged under the tree, holding his chin lazily with one hand:
"I'm really not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, melee combat or something...... It's really inspiring. ”
"Since you used [Condensation], have you looked up and seen, what is the difference between that cloud in the sky?"
Edwin was stunned when he heard this, and after being confident that the young man could react under the sneak attack, he slowly raised his head.
At some point, a pitch-black cloud floated overhead, and by the heavy rain, this black cloud blended perfectly with the surrounding clouds, so that he didn't notice it at all. And at this moment, in Edwin's eyes, the inside of that cloud was made up of a strange mental aura that was constantly tumbling!
"Don't get drenched."
The boy smiled kindly and admonished.
Then, thousands of arrows rained down towards Edwin's area!
