Late at night.

In the uninhabited area at the junction of Monis, Xiluofei and Loma, it is known as one of the top ten most dangerous areas in the Oolapa Mountains. The herd of snakes, chickens, and beasts that rule the region are running around a massive airship. They didn't dare to approach the airship, and although these monsters were intellectually retarded, they also knew that the humans living in the airship were quite terrifying, and they could not challenge them. However, their instinctive desire for food still makes them have to venture closer.

"Boom!"

The hatch of the airship was opened, and the snakes, chickens, and beasts reflexively fled for their lives.

Sophia came out with a basin of dirty water, she splashed it out, and then looked at the sky sadly, hesitating not knowing what to do.

The clean water stored in the Zài "Gagarin" was running out, but Cassius's high fever did not go away, and if there was no clean water to cool him, she was afraid that he would be in danger of his life; But if he didn't fetch water now, what would Cassius do with his condition?

Joyka has been gone for 3 days, and she hasn't got the antidote back, which can't help but make Sophia worry about whether something will happen to Joyka. Of course, the most important thing to solve is the immediate trouble. Thinking of this, her mind returned to the question of whether to fetch water......

Three days ago, Sophia, Joyka, Cassius, and the three of them came to the Kuka Mountains, broke into the territory of the snake chickens, and beat the demonic beasts that ruled the area to the ground. Just when they thought that all the dangers had been lifted and they could return to the Avengist camp in the airship, something unexpected happened.

Cassius, who was adding the newly purchased Magic Reservoir to the powerless Float Flying Ship, suddenly let out a scream without warning, and Sophia, who was outside collecting food and chasing the Winged Elves to retrieve the sacred pendant, was both startled.

Sophia first returns to the airship, only to find that two humanoid ice sculptures are frozen around the ship's perimeter.

The ice came from the magic of Cassius, and the people who were sealed inside were already dead the moment they froze. Although Cassius has also killed people, he does not kill wantonly, if it were not for the great threat to his life, he would not have taken the life of the enemy as soon as he made a move, which shows how critical Cassius's situation is at this time!

Sophia flashed her blades and continued to approach the ship, only to see Cassius sitting on the ground next to the hatch, with a crossbow bolt stuck in his calf, bleeding profusely, trying to maintain a defensive ice wall, and 10 masked assassins were surrounding the ice wall, frantically attacking the ice wall with their weapons. These 10 people, plus the two corpses that were just sealed in the ice, that is, there are a total of 12 people besieging Cassius.

Cassius's condition seemed to be very bad, the expression on his face was quite painful, and the blood flowing from the wound on his calf was dark red and viscous, looking like he had been poisoned.

"Stop, who are you?" snorted Sophia.

The attackers collectively turned around and spotted Sophia, who split into two and five men rushed towards her at the speed of the wind, all of them disappearing into thin air after a certain distance, while the other five continued to destroy the ice wall.

After so many brutal battles, Sophia's basic combat level has changed qualitatively from when she was just starting out, and even if she doesn't use the power of the Valkyrie or the Stigmata, she won't be at a disadvantage in front of such an enemy. Sophia couldn't see the invisible enemy, but she didn't need to. Sophia held the cross in her hand, chanting a spell in her mind, the magic flowing through her body, and less than two meters before the Assassin rushed in front of her, the cross glowed like the sun.

"Ah......h

The three Assassins at the front of the charge covered their eyes in the bright light, falling into a brief blindness. Although the two Assassins in the back were not burned in the eyes, they appeared in the bright light, and the stealth technique lost its effect.

Sophia certainly didn't miss this great opportunity, as she kicked her foot backwards and rushed into the enemy line like an arrow from a string as she released a bright light. As the caster, Sophia was unaffected by the scorching glare of her own creation, and she moved freely in the light curtain, her dagger nimbly moving through enemy lines, and the blades of her sword slammed into the wrists of the three blind assassins with their weapons.

The assassins in the back were also taken aback. In their common sense, the Light Priest does not have any offensive ability, and generally only plays a supporting role, so they don't care much about Sophia's appearance, thinking that a momentary siege can knock her down, but they didn't expect it to backfire, when the assassins behind tried to stop Sophia, Sophia had already broken through the gap between the two and went straight to the assassins besieging Cassius. Her mastery of the mid-to-low-level light has reached the point of perfection, and the flow of magic just now not only released a scorching bright light, but also blessed herself with various battle blessings, making her combat power explosively improved in an instant.

The open gun is easy to block, the hidden arrow is difficult to defend, Sophia who is in attack, did not expect that the enemy is not only what she sees in front of her, between the two stones on the right side of the floating ship, a crossbow arrow silently rushed towards Sophia at a very high speed, and the arrow flashed with a chilling blue light, and at a glance, she knew that there was poison on it.

"Whoosh" - just as Sophia was about to be shot by the poisoned arrow, a more aggressive and domineering arrow came from a distance, hit the shaft of the poisoned arrow impartially, and carried it forward. Sophia was startled when she realized that the 13th Assassin was hiding behind the rocks.

It wasn't just Sophia who was taken aback, but the crossbowman who was hiding was the same, he never expected the archer on the other side to return so quickly, and his hiding place was already exposed, so he quickly jumped up and went straight to the next sniper position as fast as he could.

But in front of Joyka, who is also good at sniping, his skills are useless. Joyka snorted coldly, calculated the advance amount, and calmly shot the second arrow, and the sharp arrow passed directly through the middle of the assassin's crossbowman's neck with a "swish", and the powerful even tore his head directly off the neck, and the body that lost its head rushed forward a few meters before falling.

The remaining assassins hurriedly threw out 3 or 4 glass bottles, and in a series of glass shattering sounds, the tear gas that was highly compressed into a magically dissolved solution was released, spreading outward at a rapid speed, forming a huge white smoke that included both the airship and the surrounding space.

"Ahem, ahem...... Oops!cough ......" Sophia, who was coughing and tearing in the pungent gas, hurriedly blessed herself with several divine magic defenses, and before her vision was completely obscured, she decisively rushed to the place where Cassius was, unfolded the Holy Light Enchantment, and protected the two of them together.

The Assassins released this smoke not to fish in troubled waters, but to escape. As the smoke spread, the three Assassins grabbed the three blind Doux, and scattered in five different directions with 1 to 3 people as the base unit. "Strike instantly, never fight" is the most fundamental Assassin's creed, and if you are sure that you will not be able to kill the target in the first place, and you are not 100% sure that you will be able to kill the target in the second attack, then retreat is the only option.

But even if they wanted to run, how could they run away lightly?

Standing on the outermost side, Joyka was unaffected by the tear gas, calmly spotting the moment, lowering his body and pounced on the nearest assassin like a hound. Joyka didn't use a bow and arrow for long-range sniping, he wanted to live, so he resorted to hand-to-hand combat.

The Assassin who had been targeted had apparently seen Joika's intentions as well, and he clenched his dagger as he ran, not rushing to fight back, but waited for Joika to rush to his side less than 4 or 5 times before throwing his hand. His wishful thinking was loud, and since Joika was in a high-speed sprint, throwing the dagger at such a close distance would create a very high relative velocity between the two, and the assassin decided that Joika would not be able to dodge the dagger's throw, and even if she managed to avoid the vital point, she would be cut by the poisonous blade.

However, he underestimated Joyka too much, how could this bounty hunter, who claimed to be able to survive the most dangerous situation, be so lightly injured by a poisonous dagger? Joyka had long expected the opponent to come up with this move, so he kept his eyes on the opponent's right hand as he charged, and when he saw the sudden shaking movement of the opponent's hand, he waved the long sword in his hand before the dagger could be thrown.

"Boom" - the dagger slammed into the Mithril alloy longsword and flew out. That's right, at such a high relative speed, Joyka can't dodge this dagger, but that doesn't mean he can't block it.

The assassin was stunned and hurriedly threw the second dagger in his other hand, but time was not on his side, and when his left hand was slightly raised, the long sword had already stabbed through his left wrist.

"Woo!"

In severe pain, the dagger fell from the Assassin's hand, and he gritted his teeth, picked it up with his foot, and then caught it with his free right hand, and stabbed Jojka in the waist with his backhand. But Joyka was quick-eyed, and before the dagger touched his clothes, he stretched out his other hand without a sword and jammed the Assassin's right wrist, only to hear a "snap", the Assassin's right hand dislocated, and the poisonous dagger also fell to the ground.

The assassin with both hands still did not give up, and he activated the mechanism on his body, and the poisonous needle hidden in his clothes shot out. Joika dodged the needles almost with his face against his face, and he quickly circled the Assassin's back and kicked him hard in the spine of the Assassin's waist.

The nerves that control the movement of the lower half of the body are located in the spine, and Joyka's kick is equivalent to cutting off all the Assassin's mobility below the waist. The Assassin screamed and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

At the same time, Joyka's kick also scratched the Assassin's clothes, revealing the skin inside, allowing Joyka to clearly see that the Assassin had a tattoo of an "owl standing under a full moon" on his back
