Chapter 161: Snake Eyes, Iron Cannons
The biggest difficulty in dealing with ghost-like enemies is their erratic movements.
Lu Xiao had just brandished his sword to clear the way, and the seven-faced warrior had disappeared from his sight, and at the same time, Lu Xiao sensed a fierce sense of threat coming from behind.
Instinctively, he shrank to the left to dodge, and a torrent of purple light suddenly roared past where he had stood.
The attack shaped like a beam cannon actually had no physical damage ability, and after being dodged by Lu Xiao, the beam shot directly through the rock wall of the cave into the distance.
The killing move is dodged, and the seven-faced samurai reveals his new position.
In order to prevent this guy from escaping again, Lu Xiao rushed straight towards the place where the seven-faced warrior was with a shrunken footwork.
"Boom!"
Another beam of light blasted towards Lu Xiao in person, this time Lu Xiao did not make any dodging moves, and retracted the immortal slash back into the scabbard in advance.
In the last moment of the beam, the undead slash, which began to glow purple in its scabbard, burst out of its sheath.
"Secret Legend Dragon Flash!"
The secret technique learned from Ashina's heart spewed out a sharp sword aura, wrapped in the sword aura of the special ability of the immortal slash, and the beam released by the seven-faced samurai split from the middle, and continued to sweep towards the seven-faced samurai unabated.
After Lu Xiao learned the two secret skills of Long Flash and Yixin through the cheats left by Yixin to Yongzhen, these two moves were systematically classified into the Reed Celebrity, and were added to the C-level Reed Celebrity Skill Bonus.
The surging sword qi hit the seven-faced warrior head-on, and the immortal slash power attached to the sword qi caused the seven-faced warrior to let out a strange and terrible scream.
"Boom!"
When the seven-faced warrior was hit by the sword qi and fell into a state of stiffness, Lu Xiao finally moved in front of the seven-faced warrior.
At the moment, the rune imprinted on the body of the immortal slasher dissipated quickly, and the purple light on the body of the knife had begun to dim, obviously the previous dragon flash had consumed a lot of the magic power that Lu Xiao had stored in the rune before.
"Reed's cross slash!"
Two overlapping purple sword lights streaked through the pitch-black cave, and the noise of the seven-faced warriors and unjust spirits finally stopped.
The seven-faced warriors whose spirits had been cut through quickly faded in mid-air, and they could no longer condense into entities, and the souls gathered by the seven-faced warriors also disappeared one by one with a look of relief.
"Whew~"
The knife was retracted and sheathed, and the magic power of the rune was also exhausted at this time.
The heavy, turbid air in the cave cleared up, and the threat of the seven-faced samurai to the dungeon was lifted.
……
When Lu Xiao reached the giant pit that the wolf said, an old woman with her hands folded in a prayer posture was kneeling in front of the pit and muttering to herself.
"The bottom of the reed's name...... The bottom of the reed name ......"
Lu Xiao tried to talk to the old woman, but the old lady with cloudy eyes turned over and over for a few words, like a robot that would only answer automatically.
Looking down from the edge of the giant crater, nothing could be seen below the pitch-black cave entrance, and Lu Xiao's night vision ability could not penetrate the thick darkness below.
'Hmm...... Just in case, let's do some preparation. ’
After pointing the reed celebrity to the C level, Lu Xiao's free skill points still have 5 points left, and considering the possible life safety problems after making a mistake, Lu Xiao spent 4 skill points to increase the leap of faith to the B level.
"B-level Leap of Faith: Completely immune to damage from falling into straw and water when falling from a height, greatly reducing the damage of falling to the ground from a high altitude, and reserving 'one blood immortal' for the host under extreme conditions."
If it can, Lu Xiao doesn't want to trigger the so-called "blood immortality", the B-level leap of faith can only guarantee that Lu Xiao will not fall to his death, and there is no guarantee that he will not fall halfway because of this, it should be a higher A-level effect.
B-level skill points need to consume 5 free skill points to A-level, and Lu Xiao doesn't have so many free points now.
Bloodless at least ensures the safety of Lu Xiao's life, if he is really unlucky enough to trigger this effect, Lu Xiao can only recklessly activate the time gem to reverse his time, but this will inevitably affect his next plan.
Jumping high from the edge of the pit with her arms outstretched, Lu Xiao fell into the pit in front of her under the meaningful gaze of the mysterious old woman.
"Whew~Whew~"
The howling cold wind blew through Lu Xiao's face, and Lu Xiao, who opened the eagle's pupil with all his might, ignored the interference of the cold wind, and concentrated on finding the ground platform and the fulcrum that might exist below.
"See!"
Lu Xiao, who was falling rapidly, threw out the hook lock in his arm armor, and in the crisp sound of the metal chain stretching, the sharp hook claw grabbed into a protruding boulder.
Lu Xiao used the anti-shock force from the hook to fix it, swinging his body to change the direction of falling, and while shaking his arm to retract the hook claw, he landed lightly on a pitch-black boulder platform.
"Boom!"
Even with the help of the hook lock to reduce the force of the fall, Lu Xiao still caused a huge impact sound when he landed.
The leap of faith, which had reached the B level, greatly reduced the damage caused by Lu Xiao when he landed, and Lu Xiao, whose legs were numb, stood in place and slowed down for a few seconds before regaining his normal mobility.
There was a shimmering cave at the far end of the boulder platform, and Lu Xiao made his way down the cave, entering a wide underground cave with the help of the faint light of luminous moss.
At the bottom of the cave is a foul-smelling swamp, with obvious signs of hand-carved axes nearby.
Several huge Buddha statues sit around the swamp, and a dozen strange people with their heads wrapped in white cloth live around the swamp and the Buddha statues.
Lu Xiao temporarily filtered the stench of the swamp, squatted on the high platform and used the eagle's pupil to look at the distribution of people below.
Most of these strange people with white cloth on their heads are holding arquebuses in their hands, and some of them are carrying miniature cannons in their hands, and they can be seen as individuals who specialize in long-range range.
If Lu Xiao remembers correctly, these weirdos are supposed to be the Reed Folk Armed Groups known as the Iron Cannon Clan, and their leader is a woman named Snakeeye, who is said to have part of the blood of the Silkamei clan.
Don't look at most of Snake Eyes's face is wrapped in cloth, in fact, her eyesight is quite amazing, Lu Xiao saw her use the special musket in her hand to accurately hit an unknown small flying insect flying above the swamp.
The little flying insect was at least a hundred meters away from the snake's eye, and it was unknown how she managed to do it with a poorly made arquebus.
Considering that he might pass through this passage many times in the future to get the Stone of the Lodge to and from the Palace of the Source, Lu Xiao planned to deal with this group of iron cannons once and for all.
It would naturally be best if they could persuade them through peaceful communication, but before he came, Lu Xiao had heard Ichiro say that the Iron Artillery people did not have the slightest good impression of the Ashina official, and anyone who broke into their stronghold would be attacked mercilessly.
To put it simply, the Ironguns are a monstrous organization that lives alone in the wild, without any position tendencies, and it is impossible to convince them to give way.
Lu Xiao stood on the top of the cliff and observed the distribution of the iron cannons, and touched his chin hesitantly.
'Deal with the snake eyes or clean up the miscellaneous soldiers first?' ’
