Chapter 357: Fight and Retreat
Saying no, the Nine Ring Knife slashed down on the head! This attack completely exceeded everyone's expectations, including the people of the Nine Rings Gang, and they didn't expect the leader to suddenly burst out. And what they didn't expect was that in the face of the shocking collision, the man in the gray robe actually did not lead the neck to be killed, almost at the same time, the man's hand was raised high, and he didn't know what was shining in his hand, which suddenly stunned the eyes of everyone present! The knife that fell halfway down the head instinctively withdrew and protected the vital point on his body under this strong light. By the time the light had cleared, Cheese was already at the edge of the square.
"Chase!" With a wave of the broadsword, the order came out immediately, and for a while, those gangs drew their weapons one after another, wanting to pursue. Cheese instantly brushed away the two people who were rushing towards him, and the lantern in his hand unceremoniously smashed on one of the cheeks, and the heavy lamp body mixed with potential energy directly smashed the unlucky guy to the ground.
Someone turned to the mage without giving up, hoping to block his way, who would have thought that before his scimitar could be waved, the gray robe had reached out and clasped his wrist vein. Pulling it back, he took it into his arms, and the man's upper body was pulled down, and Cheese rolled over his back. Fighting on the spot, meeting with people, that is indeed the weakness of cheese. However, it is not difficult to perform the prepared moves against a slow-reacting opponent. Both feet hit the ground, and the gang rushing up on both sides finally recovered from the bright light. The mage turned around and came with a whip leg by the way, sweeping the people behind him directly down, creating a new obstacle for them again. But despite this, Cheese did not choose to use the spell to distance himself from these people all at once, he knew very well that the other party had a long-range weapon in his hand.
Blocking arrows is not very difficult for a mage, but it can be difficult to keep a distance from enemies while blocking arrows. Cheese didn't want to push himself into such a passive situation, his goal was to lead his pursuers into the alley, in a narrow space, the bow and arrow were not easy to hit, and the darkness could also act as a natural cover for him. The question is only how to maintain this sense of distance.
"Where are you going!" shouted the torch-wielding gang as they stretched out their torches to set fire to Cheese's robe. How could the outer garment of the dignified gray robe be so easily ignited? It is impossible to burn this robe without soaking it in oil for half a day. However, this inspired the mage, and he pretended to be afraid, turned to face the torch, and blew into the flame.
"Whew!" the swelling flames rose into the air, turning into lions with fangs and claws, and swooping down on the crowd below. Fortunately, this lion is far less scary than it seems, and it only burns some hair, beard, and clothing belts when it touches people. Such a trick is at best a trick, but it's quick and enough to cause chaos. As soon as those with their hair on fire start running around, the crowd will boil.
"Get out of the way!" shouted with a huge black shadow, and the person who made the voice was about two meters tall, and his body looked like a bull that had learned to walk, his body was almost naked, and there were numerous scars on the brown-red skin illuminated by the firelight. The big man rushed into the crowd as if he were in a no-man's land, whether it was a gang with a sword in his hand or an unlucky ghost with a fire on his body, he was casually fanned aside like a chicken. It didn't take a few steps to get to the front of Cheese. I saw that this person was holding a bright silver steel fork in his hand, and a ball of fishing nets pinned to his waist, completely dressed as a gladiator.
Cheese noticed this piercing guy just when he was confronting the leader, and as a force of the Nine Rings Gang, naturally the leader will not only take the shot. The mage's eyes narrowed slightly, the magic light fleeting, and he held out his left hand in front of the other. The big man thought that he was going to use some kind of spell, so he hurriedly put his arm in front of his face, but who expected that the cheese did not use any strange witchcraft, he threw his left hand directly! As soon as the hand fell on the big man's arm, he immediately grabbed his body flexibly and crawled towards his neck along the texture of the muscles. Cheese shook his sleeves and grew another hand out of it.
It was certainly his little trick, and long before he set out, he replaced his real palm with a prosthetic hand powered by magic, originally intended to surprise at a critical moment. Now it's okay to tackle a tricky opponent. Who would have thought that from the moment the leader suddenly attacked, the people of the Nine Rings Gang could always surprise him, and when Dahan encountered this situation, he gritted his teeth and spit out two words, "Wizard!"
The kind of roar that wants to crush people's bones and scatter ashes makes people's hearts palpitate. Cheese subconsciously tightened the magic hand on the big man's neck, but the latter was in a blank position, his face swollen and reddened and walked towards him firmly, and the steel fork in his hand was about to stab, and he was bound to poke three transparent holes in the gray robe! Not to mention stunned, the nails of that hand had already sunk into the flesh on the big man's neck, but he didn't seem to be aware of it, and he didn't even think about tearing that thing off first. From the beginning to the end, he only had to do one thing.
"Kill, kill!" his face was dangerously purple, and his magically reinforced hands had the power to choke a man's neck. Steel fork, thrown. The human body, falling to the ground. Cheese narrowly dodged the oncoming steel fork and threw off the ring on his index finger. This thing is only for short-term use, and there is nothing to worry about when you use it and throw it away. However, the obsession shown by this big man is impressive, what did he go through to have such a bitter hatred for wizards? Perhaps, the gang of the Nine Rings is a little different from what he imagined, and they may have some kind of internal connection outside of interests.
But now was not the time to think about it, and thanks to the massive body that had fallen, Cheese had retreated to the immediate vicinity of his pre-planned retreat. As he melted into the darkness, tonight's meeting seemed to have come to an end. Unexpectedly, when Cheese was observing the gang, he only felt a bad wind blowing behind him! It was the sound of sharp weapons waving in the air! Behind him, there was something!
"Ding!" cremation burst out in the alley. The nezumi who fell from the sky in time blocked the blow that should have stabbed the mage in the back of the heart with his dagger. But before he could say anything, a storm of attacks followed.
"Close your eyes!" Cheese held up the lantern again, trying to blind the Assassin in the dark. When the sunlight pierced the darkness, the attacker finally revealed his true face, which was a puppet. A killing machine whose hands and feet have been replaced by sharp blades.
