Volume One Lonely Arcane Road 029 Strikes Back
The dense fog, shrouded in the area of nearly 200 square meters at the stern of the ship, was constantly blown away by the sea breeze, and was constantly replenished, and the layout of the student apartment was originally very simple, a corridor, two rows of wooden houses, were blown up by a bomb, and the environment became much more complicated.
At the moment, it seemed like a forbidden area of death, and every few minutes an apprentice would be pulled out.
Then, only the sound of sharp weapons tearing at the human body was heard, and the screams of horror and pain were overshadowed, tearing the heart and lungs, and the voice was full of despair and unwillingness.
In the midst of these eardrum-piercing cries, the occasional inexplicable murmur, like the whispers of the devil, these hunters savor the horror of their prey and enjoy the killing, even though the object of the hunt is only a group of milky children.
Except for Charlie, the other companions did not see the appearance of this group of invaders at all, and the fear continued to expand due to the unknown, and the sense of oppression was even stronger.
The two girls listened, felt cold and fear, fidgeting, as boys, the Costa brothers performed a little better, but it would not be much better, the slightly trembling fingers under the cuffs revealed their nervous and anxious mood at the moment.
Colin forced his composure and said, "We are probably the only surviving apprentices, right?"
Qianxue exclaimed, "Isn't it? Aren't there eighteen regular apprentices?
Charlie muttered: "Almost! I heard a total of five screams just now, which means that five survivors were killed, and the first round of shelling destroyed five rooms, which means at least five lives, there are nearly ten people here, four of us here, I am not a formal apprentice, before David said that three students followed the captain off the ship, so it has affected 17 people......"
As soon as Charlie finished speaking, he heard a young female voice in the distance, accompanied by the sound of blunt object smashing, the girl let out a whining and mournful scream, and her breath gradually weakened.
18 people, Colin's speculation has come true.
The Gosta brothers and the two daughters were intimidated by the cruelty and viciousness of the methods, and fear dominated their bodies, not to mention participating in the battle, it was a question of whether they could stand firm now.
Anger burned in Charlie's chest, and the group was absolutely deliberate, they knew that there were one or two shrewd prey in the mist, which was both intimidation, revenge, and provocation.
With the exchange of blades, a rough roar was heard from the fog, a naked demonstration.
Hmph! Demonstration?!
The corners of Charlie's mouth curved, pulled out a cruel smile, and said, "Follow me." ”
Colin hesitated, "What the hell...... Why? It's not good to rush over! Will you fall into their trap?"
Charlie shook his head and said: "He knows that I will resist, three people died just now, and they have learned their lesson, and there will be no more comfortable opportunities for you to throw a fireball casually, you can burn an opponent, there are many of them, we can't afford to wait." ”
"What then?" said David.
"So, let's take the initiative to kill it!" Charlie said categorically.
The decision was made, and few responded.
The Costa brothers are afraid that they are slandering in their hearts, and Charlie is probably carried away by the anger and has made the wrong decision, and they would rather wait where they are than take the risk.
Seeing Charlie's resolute face, Qing Tong looked at the other companions and said, "It's not a way to wait, just listen to Charlie, try it!"
Hearing Qing Tong say this, Qianxue also spoke: "Or...... Just try?"
Seeing the low morale of the entire team, Charlie said solemnly: "If you disagree with my decision in your heart, it will be in vain to push you over, and the effect will be counterproductive."
So, let me briefly analyze our situation, and you can weigh how much choice we have.
There are a lot of people on the whole ship, about 33 people: 15 regular apprentices, 19 miscellaneous servants, 3 teachers, as you saw just now, I am afraid that there are only five of us left in the apprentices on the ship, not to mention the miscellaneous apprentices, even if they don't die, they can't help.
Now, there are only three teachers guarding the ship, only three! Where do you think we have a chance to live? Wait until the teacher comes to the rescue?"
In the face of danger, people will always subconsciously choose the most conservative plan, but they don't know that when the situation is so bad that they have to face it, the best opportunity to fight back has been missed.
They are not stupid people after all, and after Charlie's order, they immediately realize the cruelty of the situation.
"So what should we do?"
Charlie stretched out two fingers and said, "We have two ways, first, abandon the ship and run away, but there are piranhas in the water, and we don't know anything about the recent situation on the island, I don't know how high the survival rate is."
Second, take advantage of the fact that the battle is in full swing over there, try your best to hold back these pirates, and it is best to take advantage of the environment, kill them one by one, and then go to help the teacher.
Which way do you think has a higher chance of survival?"
Colin breathed a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fight! Brother, I listen to you." ”
Others have expressed support for Charlie's decision.
That's just like the words.
Charlie smiled slightly, and advised: "Okay, watch your step, I'd rather not move than make a sound, they can't guess our intentions for the time being, we must seize the opportunity of the first surprise attack to create the best results." ”
Everyone nodded.
So, under the leadership of Charlie, everyone slowly groped in the ruins.
After touching about a few dozen meters, Charlie raised his hand to signal everyone to stop and made a gesture.
There are people behind the wall.
The two women subconsciously held their breath, unconsciously took half a step back, and almost knocked down the plank behind them.
Under the warning of Charlie's murderous eyes, the four rookies finally did not make any mistakes, and looking at their state, Charlie did not have any illusions about them.
Charlie focused on the vision of the chip, and although he did not have the most intuitive vision, his extremely keen sense of hearing, combined with the stereoscopic images in his brain, restored the situation behind the wall: behind this cracked wooden wall, leaning against a pirate, he sat on the ground, and another pirate stood opposite him.
The slight breathing of the two people was as clear as thunder in Charlie's ears, and the chip could even tell the rhythm of their heartbeat.
I saw Charlie grasping with one hand, and an orange-red flame jumped on his fingertips, silent, getting brighter and brighter......
Then, Charlie made a gesture to the four people to fall down, and when they started to move, the whole person took off into the air, and the height and angle of the jump were also within the calculation range of the chip, fully taking into account Charlie's physiological limits.
I saw him leap high, raise a huge fireball with both hands, and slammed it forward, and the fireball smashed out of the gap between the wallboard and the ceiling......
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the wooden partition was torn over, and one partition burned with flames and fell into the sea, and the furniture in the room was blown apart, and the fragments flew up, and the remaining flames continued to burn.
Colin coughed violently and complained, "Charlie, your fireball is too powerful!
After the fireball burst, the scorching wave of air swept away the water vapor in a radius of dozens of square meters around it.
Charlie ignored his complaints, looked up suddenly, carefully scanned the wreckage in the ruins, and saw two lifeless charred corpses, and his heart settled down a little.
However, the unexpected happened.
.“ You're the one you're waiting for! Dare to kill my brother!
With an angry roar, several spinning axes roared in the fog, one after another, directly enveloping Charlie's surroundings, and throwing axes with precision and tactical coordination!
At that moment, the danger was like a man's back, stabbing Charlie's right eye and jumping.
It was too late, it was too soon, Charlie's pupils suddenly contracted, he landed on all fours, his head was on his shoulders, he tried his best to straighten his hips, and made an unusually twisted movement.
Duh! Duh! Duh!
Seven consecutive blows, the short axe grazed Charlie's body, deeply embedded in the deck, the blade cut through the magic robe, slashed off a few pieces of demonic cloth, the cold steel blade swept across the back, cold and piercing, Charlie secreted a layer of cold sweat behind his back, although the chip had already told him that he could avoid it, but the moment of passing by death, it was still palpitating.
A small throwing axe array that was sure to kill was all dodged by him?! Not only did his own people not expect it, but the enemy also did not expect it.
"Run!" Charlie roared, slamming his fit into a door beside him, stumbling into the room next to him.
In times of crisis, not everyone can think of anything along with you.
The Gosta brothers reacted fairly quickly, following Charlie's example, and each found a bunker, but it was not in the same direction.
Qing Tong didn't say a word, hiding in the gap between the wooden board and the corner of the wall.
Only Qianxue stayed in place, only to see her covering her knees, pouting, looking aggrieved, it turned out that she was affected by Charlie's spell, and her knees were rubbed on the ground, and it hurt a little, so that her reaction was a little sluggish.
At this time, three shadows of different heights appeared in the mist, and one of them was a sturdy bald man who tore open his throat and said in an urn voice: "Little thing, it's been caught!"
When he saw Qianxue's appearance clearly, two big eyes like copper bells almost popped out, and he said in surprise: "Yo! Good boy! Such a beautiful little girl! Hey, third child, look! What are you doing?"
"Less nonsense! Chase people first, the one who escapes is the magician!!Kill him, and you will have a chance to rest!"
The big man touched his bald head and smiled, "Then what are you waiting for! You go after it, I'll clean up a few little guys here first." ”
The third child scolded and scolded: "Mom, you will instruct people! Lao Tzu cursed you for capsizing in the gutter!"
However, at this moment, a cloud of mist suddenly dispersed, and the vision was immediately blurred.
Charlie praised: "Qingtong, well done!!"
She was able to keep Charlie expectant, and she didn't live up to it.
"Die!" the third roared angrily, holding the axe in both hands, and flew in the direction of Charlie's voice.
No matter what's in front of you, jump and slash with one blow, thunder and break through all obstacles.
His reaction was also witty, but unfortunately everything was in Charlie's calculations, Charlie knew that he was the first target of the other party, and the purpose of his voice was to cover for others, so as not to anger his companions with these murderers.
At the moment of shouting, Charlie quietly changed directions, his right hand returned behind him, and the fireball brewed in the palm of his hand, so as to avoid the opponent's blurred vision, and in terms of details, Charlie did the best.
Heha!
The moment the third child drank violently, Charlie's fireball came out of his hand, and ignited a huge fire ball in the air, and the high-energy flames burned a series of screams, and the third child fell to the ground with a bang, rolling wildly, and in the blink of an eye, turned into a pile of charred bones, and there was no sound at all.
"Damn the miscellaneous! you all have to die!" The bald man heard the screams of the third child, and knew that it was broken, so he came up with his strength, and with his previous impression, he rushed towards Qianxue.
Even if you die, you have to pull a few pads!
The sound of hurried footsteps depicted the trajectory of the bald man's charge, and Qianxue was still holding the wound, staying in place.
At this moment, the chanting spell was too late to save.
Charlie picked up a short axe on the ground, and the chip traced a flight trajectory in the field of vision, and the trajectory went straight into the fog, constantly fine-tuning, but Charlie had not learned to throw, and there was no guarantee of a 100% hit rate.
However, in this moment of life and death, you can only try your best.
At the moment when the arm was pulled out, Charlie became extremely focused, time seemed to enter a mysterious slow state, the violently waved arm slowly forward, Charlie could even see the traces of muscle contraction under the skin, and seemed to be able to make fine adjustments.
He struggled to adjust the direction and stability of his arm, and the axe came out of his hand with a violent spin......
