Chapter 21: Encounters
The assassin came suddenly, and disappeared decisively.
Lan Wu looked around uneasily, and by the way, he killed the three carrion corpses that had just crawled out of the ground, and summoned the three skeletons. With the help of the three skeletons, he was finally sure that the assassin had really left.
But Lan Wu still didn't dare to be careless.
The terrain and environment inside the cave were completely at home for the Assassins. Lacking the necessary displacement skills, Lan Wu couldn't complete the close quarters at all. After all, an assassin who has learned to speed up is faster than any other class.
For two whole days, Lan Wu unquestioningly asked Flora not to act on her own. He took a whirring Flora and three skeletons to a cave and set up camp.
It's cramped, about the size of half a basketball court. There is a way out at both ends of the cave, and there is no risk of being blocked by others, and there is a urn to catch turtles. Three skeletons that are not affected by darkness occupy one end each, and there is also an extra rotation.
After arranging the guard, Lan Wu took out a blanket and a few pieces of wood, lit a bonfire in the cave, and planned to fight here until the end of the gambling fight. Until he figured out how to deal with the mysterious assassin, he had no intention of continuing to farm his equipment.
Even if he didn't plan to continue farming equipment, Lan Wu was not idle. The two skeletons were at one end each, and the remaining skeleton went out under his drive, looking for a lone zombie nearby to brush up on some experience. Rotates with the other two skeletons at regular intervals. In this way, the equipment cannot be farmed, but the experience gained is better than nothing.
The only thing that was unhappy was Flora. The Eyes of Courage that she had just received made her self-confident and wanted to show her current strength all the time. Lan Wu is so negative, naturally she has a good roll of her eyes.
Lan Wu ignored her. This little girl is a bit rebellious, but she is quite obedient to the ethics of a mercenary. On the surface, he lost his temper, but in fact he was very well-behaved and obedient, and honestly stayed in this temporary camp.
Usually study and study the book of identification, and tease Flora in his spare time, Lan Wu enjoys himself, and has a very chic life. Helplessly, the world did not go as expected. He didn't want to put himself in danger. It's a pity that the crisis came to its own door.
"That damn assassin is running this way. I see it very clearly. ”
Suddenly, an angry voice drifted into the cavern. Almost at the same time, Lanwu and Flora tensed their nerves. Both remembered the familiar voice. Who but the savage Glasgow would be as loud as if he didn't shout at the top of his voice.
"It's not far from us." Flora was nervous.
"And it's coming this way." Lan Wu's expression was calm, and he added earnestly as if it was none of his business.
"We can't beat them yet." Flora stared at the Eye of Courage in her hand, frustrated.
"Not necessarily." Lan Wu smiled strangely, took out the water casually, and extinguished the bonfire. The fire is extinguished, and the +2 Illumination Radius stat attached to the Eye of Courage comes into play again. The blue light in the cave is shining, but it is not safe.
"Put away the eyes of courage." Lan Wu's eyes were blazing, staring at the exit command where the voice floated.
Flora was dazed. She closed the Eye of Courage as she had told, and darkness returned to the cavern. Just as a gust of wind blew, she shivered, and quickly slipped to Lan Wu's side, holding his hand and muttering, "You want to sneak up on them?" ”
Lan Wu laughed without saying a word, and suddenly raised his hand to cover Flora's mouth, and at the same time quickly retreated to the corner. Flora was confused, struggling to ask out loud. I don't want a whisper to suddenly float in my ears: "Shhhhh ”
Hearing Lan Wu say this, Flora suddenly became honest. His right hand had already reached into the space bag and clenched the eye of courage. She already knew who the "she" in Lan Wu's mouth was referring to.
After a while, a hurried but slight sound of footsteps echoed through the silent cavern. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Flora raised her eyebrows, and half of her bow had reached the mouth of the space bag. Suddenly, she felt a tap on the shoulder, and at the same time heard Lan Wu's rapid and low urging: "Do it." ”
Flora was in high spirits and immediately took out the Eye of Courage. A faint blue light flashed, dispelling the darkness inside the cavern. In the blue light, a petite and immature-looking assassin stopped in surprise.
Lan Wu let go of Flora and stepped forward with a smile on his face, blocking the assassin's path. The three skeletons tacitly blocked the only way out. He spread his hands and said with a smile: "I have no malicious ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the assassin suddenly raised his hand. A small matchbox-like fire-lit device flew towards you. She shot extremely fast, and Lan Wu's reaction was not slow.
Almost at the same time, Lan Wu pulled the scepter out of the space bag. In the next second, a fiery red fire-resistant aura appeared under the feet of him, Flora, and even the three skeletons.
Explosions rang out. Lan Wu waved his hand to disperse the gunsmoke, looked down at the blackened pieces of equipment, and then looked up and smiled nonchalantly: "You should know that the fire resistance attached to the fire resistance aura is very high. You can't kill either of us in a short period of time. ”
In just two sentences, the Assassin had apparently acknowledged this fact. She stared cautiously at Lan Wu and Flora, not saying a word. But Lan Wu could see it clearly. The little assassin, who was only fourteen years old at most, had something in his hand.
"You're running out of time." Lan Wu smiled.
As if to verify Lan Wu's words. Glasgow's loud voice rang out again: "I heard an explosion. That assassin must be in trouble. ”
Immediately after, Gross's inexplicably arrogant voice sounded: "Quiet, she can't escape from our palms." ”
Lan Wu shrugged his shoulders and looked at the little assassin with a smile. The look in his eyes clearly said that if he didn't plan to speak, then he would really be a villain.
Faced with this silent threat, the little assassin hesitated, and finally stammered in a low voice, "You...... What do you want? ”
Her voice is crisp and slightly childlike. It's just that it doesn't have the slightest mood swing, it's as empty as a puppet. Apparently she rarely spoke, so much so that even the most basic communication seemed very jerky.
"I want to join forces with you and deal with the three of them together." Lan Wu didn't hide it, and told it truthfully.
"I'm against it." When Flora heard that Lan Wu was going to join forces with the assassin who had wanted to kill her, she immediately pouted, her face unhappy.
The little assassin was silent, his eyebrows clearly agreeing with Flora's objection. After all, these two men had been assassinated not long ago. She still can't accept the reality that the victim suddenly offered to join forces with her.
"Don't you want to win the bet?" Lan Wu tilted his head to look at Flora in a strange way.
"I want to win. But we don't have to join forces with her. Flora stood her mind and refused to budge.
"If we don't join forces with her, can we beat the three of them?" Lan Wu had a headache. At such a time, I have to spend some time to popularize science for this little girl. He pointed at himself, then at Flora and then at the Assassin, then spread his hands and explained, "If the three of us join forces, there is at least a 70% chance of defeating the three of them." If we don't join forces, the three of them will be able to kill us 100 percent. Got it? ”
"We can run away before they come." Flora was still reluctant to join forces with the Assassin.
"But running away is not the solution." Lan Wu smiled and patiently explained, "They seem to be stronger than us, but they have a fatal weakness. As long as you grasp this weakness, it will not be difficult to defeat them. Of course, the main reason is that we have to beat them face to face. They will have scruples and dare not rashly attack us. As long as we do this, we will walk in front of them until the fight is over. None of them dared to kill us. ”
"It can't be." Flora's face was full of disbelief: "They are of higher level than us, and their equipment is better than ours. Even if we can defeat them once, how can they not attack us again? ”
"Do you want us to take a gamble?" Lan Wu looked at Flora with a smile.
"Bet on it." Flora did take the bait, and glanced at it with disdainful squint.
Just as the two of them reached an agreement, the little assassin suddenly stammered, "They are only a few hundred meters away from here. ”
Flora came to her senses. Where is the time to bet. The important thing is to reach a consensus before the three Gross arrive, whether to flee or stay and fight. She anxiously tugged at Lan Wu. The latter smiled, ignoring her, and instead beckoned to the assassin.
The little assassin hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward. Lan Wu whispered a few words, then pulled Flora back with a smile on his face, and waved his hand without looking back.
"What did you say to her?" Flora was still haunted by the assassin and didn't bother to approach her, so she couldn't hear Lan Wu clearly.
"It's up to her whether she can win or not." Lan Wu smiled and pulled Flora out of the cave. Three skeletons followed, like faithful servants guarding their backs.
After walking more than 20 meters, it is already a straight road. Lan Wu stopped and urged in a low voice, "Hurry up and lie down, pretend to be seriously injured." ”
Flora instantly understood. But she hadn't figured out if such a trick could hide from the three Gross. She sat against the stone wall as she was told, pretending to be seriously injured. As soon as she sat down, Lan Wu suddenly roared angrily: "It's you assassin again. Oh no, Flora......"
Lan Wu roared as he quickly poured a mouthful of water into his mouth, and then squirted out. Soon, Glasgow's loud voice was heard in front of me.
"Hah, it's that kid. I remember his voice. ”
"Glasgow, beware of deception." Gross remained cautious and did not let his guard down.
"Even if they join forces, they are no match for us." Glasgow didn't care, and didn't hide his contempt for Lan Wu and the others.
Soon, the fire lit up from the other end. Dense footsteps poured in, and the three of Gross saw Lan Wu and the alternative Rogge.
