Chapter 172: Responding
It's a very strange team - according to the four teams that are clearly divided, the one on the far right is the main one, this is a team composed entirely of wizards in black robes, there are only a few people, only about ten people, but they are the core of several teams, and the other three teams that are clearly mixed with humans and humanoids, from time to time will send a few heralds to report something to this team of wizards who are entirely composed of wizards.
Bears, goblins, maneaters, red hats, and a large meal of half-bloods......
Tsk, then these must be dark wizards!
The little man squatted on a tree branch, looking at the team shuttling in the sea forest not far away, and when he carefully identified the composition of the team, he immediately had a general understanding of the team in front of him; Especially those wizards whose negative energy is obviously overflowing around them, their identities speak for themselves.
In fact, it is not very easy to discern whether a wizard has fallen into darkness or not, for people other than the Holy See, without the [Detection of Evil] and the corresponding advanced magic [Evil Judgment], most people are taking the way of witchers with electromagnetic detectors EMS or experience - however, the success rate of such an approach is not very high, after all, both machines and experience have considerable limitations; The former will be affected by the presence of any negative energy, resulting in errors in detection, while the latter requires time to accumulate and is impossible for any young person to do.
Although the little man is also a young man, the transformation of his body has made him more sensitive to negative energy than ordinary people can imagine, and almost by feeling, he can determine the true identity of these wizards - of course. A wizard who can mingle with dark creatures such as bears, goblins, and man-eaters. This in itself illustrates some key issues.
"They're just a mixed squad of scouts. It's a team of the marginal families in the sea forest, and the target is the Bay Area! Retracting his eyes and ears from surveillance, Ava whispered; And said his guess: "There should be something big going on outside!" ”
"Scouts? That's a lot of people, right? ”
The little man glanced at the team that was densely shuttling in the sea forest, with a number of no less than five hundred, and couldn't help grinning, and said in a unique smooth tone: "How many teams are there?" 50,000 or 100,000? Tsk, if there are 100,000, I think we can go back to Landenburgh early. Then gather the people to pack up and change the way to choose to meet Shak! ”
"If that's the case, I'm for it!"
Ava gave a rare echo of his friend's unfunny joke, and then said, "I have sent a letter to Darlan, and at Kra's current speed, he will reach Landinburgh in about an hour after dark; So, now, are we? ”
"Although I am a pacifist, I am facing these opposing beings in our camp. As a witcher, I must be responsible for my honor as a witcher! The little man shrugged, and then. Glancing at the team in front of him again, he said with a clear mind: "About three kilometers from here, there is a tall bush, which I think is very suitable for our ambush; Do you have enough seeds? ”
"Of course!"
Ava patted the skin around his waist, and the two of them smiled at each other as they disappeared in place.
……
"Why are we going to act as scouts and act with these guys?"
Walking in the ranks of his own family, Lun Ou was excited at first to be able to see the outside world again, and then all that was left was irritability and disgust - the tall, green-skinned guy with fangs in his mouth not far away always looked at him with a kind of food, and if he could, he really wanted to twist the other's head off; Of course, the only thing that could stop him from doing so was the discipline of the family and the stench of the other party.
Lunou swears he's never smelled anything worse than this - this guy has definitely not been in a shower since birth!
This is the conclusion reached by Lunou after the distance between the two sides, and about a foot closer; At the same time, Lun Ou immediately showed his attitude with practical actions, and a stone the size of a child's fist appeared in his hand and threw it at the other party vigorously-
"Fuck off, you stinking thing!"
The stone slammed into the head of the bear goblin with a strong wind, and even if the other party had rough skin and thick flesh, it was smashed and swayed several times, and then with a roar, it rushed towards the original food - yes, when it began to move forward, the bear goblin regarded the Lengull as today's dinner, the delicate, clean, but not lacking strength of the body, made its mouth water, and some could not wait to swear that it belonged to the food.
It could clearly see that there were many of its kindreds around it, and they were secretly swallowing on the food that belonged to it—although it believed that it could easily obtain this food in its own strength, but that was before it was known by other people who were more powerful than it; Therefore, its warnings had to be very skillful, except for a small wave of its broad claws from time to time, and only a low sound from its throat.
It proved to be very clever in doing so, and those who were not as large as it were chose to back down, while it was one step closer to its prey; However, what happened in the next moment made it angry with its complacency—a small prey dared to throw a stone at it, and warned it, and the consequence of this was that it was laughed at by its fellow citizens; And it must stop this from happening before the laughter gets out!
Roar!
With a roar, the bear goblin really pounced on the Lunou like a running bear; But for Lun Ou, this kind of pounce is really useless - although the force is very large, but there is no skill or speed, for a junior who has been carefully cultivated by the family, even if his eyes are closed, he can dodge.
However, to dodge it straight away is really a lack of accomplishment for Lunou. For him, he needs to be very clean and beautiful to win; Otherwise. This was the shame of the family - he didn't want to be laughed at by his peers.
Deliberately. Lunou quickly moved a few steps to the side—he had already noticed that there was an extremely tall bush here, almost completely winding up the trunk of the tree, and then intertwining and entangled with each other, almost as close as a woven barbed wire, especially of that depth, as if hundreds of barbed wire were being erected layer after layer.
And what could be more interesting than seeing a bear struggling among a large field of vines?
In order to make this effect even better, Lunou stood still. Deliberately made a provocative gesture at the bear goblin that pounced on him, and immediately, the already angry bear goblin immediately reached the point where reason was overwhelmed by anger, and its fluttering body was like a blow in an instant, and the speed also made a lot of progress under this sudden increase in force.
It's just that these team members said Lun Ou. It's all calculated—for the few families that can survive in the Sea Forest District, it's not once or twice that they've dealt with these inhuman guys. Every year, these greedy fellows always come in search of an opportunity to make a move, and then they beat them up; Of course, there are times when they succeed, and although there are not many such cases, they are enough to remember them.
Hatred always appears unconsciously, and then takes root and sprouts, and finally develops into a sharp tree of revenge.
This is especially true between two different races that live in the same place.
Call!
With a ferocious breath that is enough to make ordinary people weak, the bear goblin came to the front of Lunou, its slightly shorter hind legs were used again, with a roar, it faced Lunou with a more powerful pounce, and this is exactly what Lunou wanted, a very light jump, Lunou stepped on the other party's head, jumped behind the other party, and then, homeopathic to the forward rush of the bear ass is a kick.
Bang!
The collision of the leather boots with the opponent's buttocks made the sound of a baseball bat hitting the tires, and then the bear goblin plunged into the tall bushes as Lun Ou expected, and let out a scream - the thorns in the bushes, at some point, the pain caused by them is enough to make a tough guy exhale in pain, after all, in addition to sharpness, many thorns also carry a trace of toxin, not the kind of fatal, but it will make people more painful.
In the midst of the screams of pain, the surrounding teams not only did not stop, but also cheered loudly, and many of the beings even whistled - for their improvised team, discipline was not absolute, and the idea of noise and fighting was the main theme; Even the dark wizards who were the 'overseers' didn't pay any attention.
For the dark wizards, the reasonable venting of the whole team is more reasonable for their management; After all, a bunch of nervous thugs without catharsis are like a barrel of dynamite around them – as for the unlucky ones who get killed in the outbreak?
If it's not one of theirs, why bother so much?
As long as you don't delay the time set by the adult, you're fine!
The surrounding commotion lasted for five minutes before it had the intention of stopping; However, as the noise stopped, the people realized that something was wrong - the bear goblin had disappeared, and because it had been so loud before, they didn't even know when the other had disappeared.
"Damn it, give me ......"
The same bear goblin, taller and more robust than the one that had disappeared before, yelled at the tall bushes; However, before it could finish roaring, a vine burst out of the bush and wrapped it around its neck, and then dragged its entire volley into the bush.
And it was like a signal, in the bushes, on the ground full of dead leaves and moss, stout, thorny vines rose into the air, choosing their nearest target, and then kept shrinking and dragging into the deep bushes—the man-eating flowers, which were ten feet high, were growing their mouths waiting for their prey to enter their mouths; Unlike closed digestion, these man-eating flowers began to chew on their prey like animals, and between the opening and closing of their sharp teeth, the sound of 'crunch, crunch' muscles being torn and bones being broken became one for a while.
Swords, claws, no effect on these cannibal thick and thorny vines, torn places. Immediately secreted some thick green juice. Then it heals quickly; But in the process of healing. The attacks of these man-eating flowers became even more frenzied, and the vines flying in the sky were like a group of snakes flying in the air, which was daunting.
Call!
The flames appeared in the hands of the dark wizards, and the flames they threw casually began to instinctively dodge the vines that belonged to the cannibal flowers, and those who couldn't dodge let out bursts of trembling. And then it quickly withers - the flames are the natural enemies of any plant.
Hiss! Hiss!
The slight, almost inaudible sound became more and more hidden in the screams and fire explosions that existed around them, and even when they penetrated into the bodies of these dark wizards, these dark wizards did not notice until their whole bodies fell into stiffness and their strength was completely extracted, and these dark wizards who had been unusually calm became terrified, but. Their cries of terror could only be stuck in their throats.
Because. Not only has all the flesh been 'sucked' dry, but their internal organs and bones have also become 'dry and flat', including the vocal cords.
The battle began suddenly, and lasted even shorter, only twenty minutes before and after, and the entire battlefield belonged to the opposing side and there was no longer any existence that could stand; The little man looked at his friend's man-eating flowers, which were fifty in number and still 'feasting', and couldn't help but reach out and touch his chin: "Very good plants, as long as they are placed properly, they can play an unimaginable role!" ”
"This is a variant of the man-eating flower, which was improved with the help of Master Kant, although the attack power and ordinary defense power are very strong, but in the face of the damage of fire, it is vulnerable; If you hold a candle, they won't dare to come closer; Moreover, because of the terrain, only fertile soil like Hailin can make them grow quickly and last for so long! ”
Ava explained the origin and characteristics of these man-eating flowers to his friend, and the little man reacted after being slightly stunned: "You mean ......"
Before the words were finished, a man-eating flower that appeared to be a 'living dragon' exploded with thick green juice after a 'bang'.
"It's a really short time!"
The little man continued with his own words.
"I'm going to collect the seeds, these special man-eating flowers, before they explode, will produce seeds!"
Ava said hello and walked towards the man-eating flowers - with a natural aura, these cannibals did not attack Ava, and even the furious state disappeared, allowing Ava to peel off the seeds one by one.
"Huh!"
When Ava finished collecting the last seed of this cannibal flower, he couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the 'flower wall' in front of him, which couldn't help but expand—he was no stranger to this phenomenon, obviously there was still a 'living thing' in the cannibal flower, and being able to maintain such vitality in those sharp teeth and saliva like concentrated sulfuric acid undoubtedly indicated the extraordinaryness of this 'living thing'.
"Do we need a captive? He is worth living until now! ”
Ava habitually asked his friend - the wisdom of the little man was convincing in the absence of Ye Qi.
"Well, I hope you can give us the information we need!"
The little man shrugged his shoulders and told Ava to release their captives—
Damn it! Damn it!
Lun Ou kept using such a curse to show his state of mind at the moment, and he swore that he would never have any more good intentions in the future-in the flying vines, he couldn't help but dodge with his dexterity, he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible; There is no doubt that this is a trap, and if he stays here, he will have ten lives, and he will also die one.
However, as he was about to leave, a scream caught his attention, it was the scream of a kindred man with whom he usually had a good relationship, and he subconsciously turned back, and then he saw a face full of despair; Suddenly, he hesitated—as one of the heirs to the family, he needed to be ruthless, not to be weak, as his father had told him; But, looking at that desperate face, he turned around and ran back again.
Even he didn't know what he was talking about!
After a sword cut through the vines that entwined his people's ankles, before he could figure out what he was doing for him, he was pushed backwards by the people he had saved—because. A vine was cut off. There are more than ten vines flying together!
He was entangled. Not just his legs, but his whole body, including his wrist where he held the sword; And the fellow he saved ran forward without looking back......
Lunou, you're an idiot! The world's number one idiot!
Pulled into the man-eating jaw, he cursed himself and looked for a way out - he knew that the force field shield on his body was time-limited, if it was before the time was up. If he hasn't found a way out, then he will only be left with a dead end.
He tried his best, knocking on the surrounding flower wall, but without the long sword, with only his fist, the flower wall showed unimaginable tenacity, although he tried his best with each blow, but the despair in his heart could not suppress him; Just as he was about to give up, he noticed that his eyes lit up, and then the fresh air used up his body again.
He's out?
Such an idea made Lunou ecstatic. Then, his eyes darkened again. Two figures appeared above him, blocking out the light in front of him—
"Well, it's a valuable guy to wear!"
It was a skinny fellow, looking at himself, and speaking in a slick tone; Lun Ou hated the other party's eyes very much, it was a kind of businessman's eyes when he looked at the goods again; However, he didn't act, his strength was too much in the battle with the cannibal flower before, and he needed to accumulate some strength.
After all, there were two people in front of him, especially the other one—although he was not tall, he was strong enough, especially the beast-like aura revealed by the other party, which made his heart palpitate; Although the other party was silent and silent, since he appeared, it has always been the skinny guy who speaks, but such silence and silence make Lun Ou understand that the danger of the other party may be higher than he imagined.
Grab this skinny guy and then, threaten this taciturn dangerous man!
Almost instinctively and subconsciously, Lunou made a safer plan for himself - bullying the weak is a normal thing for every family member, they will not be ashamed of it, but will be complacent about their foresight.
"Which family bastard are you?"
The skinny guy asked him again, and the other party's insulting words made Lun Ou grit his teeth tightly, but he still pretended to be panting, he was waiting for a better opportunity, and when the skinny guy reached out and was about to pat him on the cheek, he knew that the opportunity had come!
Scold!
Lun Ou grabbed the opponent's palm and rolled over at a speed far greater than ever, ready to hide behind the hostage he had taken and deal with the remaining dangerous person - this was his original plan, but as soon as he jumped up, his whole body suddenly went limp, and he fell down at a faster speed.
Poison?!
Lunou, who was quite knowledgeable, immediately thought of the word, and then he saw that the thin guy he was about to hijack was looking at him with a mocking face, and then the other party punched him in the abdomen; The severe pain combined with the exhaustion of his physical strength made Lunou faint instantly.
"Really, I was expecting us to have a friendly Q&A!"
The little man waved his hand, pulled out a vine, tied up the young man in front of him firmly, and then said to his friend: "Let's go to Landenburg first, and when we get there, we can continue!" ”
Nodding his head, Ava, who had turned into an eagle, took the lead in the air, while the little man followed, although he carried a prisoner in his hand, but the speed of the little man did not decrease in the slightest - after all, for him who had just replenished before, this was the time to be full of energy.
……
"Your Excellency the Dragon of Shak, are you leaving Dude?"
Cast, who was in a wheelchair, looked at the people around him who were packing up, and couldn't help asking; There was surprise in his tone, and then a hint of understanding; This hint of clarity made the strong man in a wheelchair bow his head and apologize softly: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Xia Ke Dragon!" ”
