Chapter 537: Prelude to the Hunt
When Odore Linda entered the swamp, Punk and Kane were unaware of the incident, and they were heading at full speed towards the center of the swamp, as the Tar Beastmaster, who had already received the information, was quietly staying in the Tar Lake of the swamp.
The closer to the center of the swamp, the more "oilwood" trees grow on the wetland, this plant that can use oil as nutrients likes this kind of environment where the ground is full of tar, the whole tar swamp is the best habitat for these plants, and because of the existence of the Tar Beast King scared away all the large creatures and intelligent creatures around the Tar Lake, the oil wood that no one cut down even formed a dense jungle near the Tar Lake.
As Punk and Kane went deeper and deeper, the smell of a large amount of tar became stronger and stronger, and when a huge lake appeared in front of the two "adventurers", Kane, whose face began to turn pale, finally said loudly:
"Damn, Uncle Ben has had enough, this hunt Uncle Ben will be merciful and give you the fighter plane, Punk, Uncle Ben will be responsible for protecting the smile"!
Pinching his nose and taking a breath, Kane finished speaking quickly like a machine gun, and then he hurriedly turned his fighting spirit to form a new shield, as for the little fighting spirit that was used to block the air before, Kane even dissipated directly, in the words of the knight who was obviously a little clean, "Putting the tar-stained fighting energy back into the body will make Uncle Ben feel that the smell of tar is permeating his muscles."
"Kane, as a spellcaster, I'm better suited to protect our "key"!
Punk completely ignored Kane's exaggerated expression of dissatisfaction, and while carefully perceiving the movement of the Tar Lake, Punk looked indifferently at the knight who had already drawn his spear.
Although Kane does seem to hate the smell of tar all the way through, Punk doesn't think that the knight he faces doesn't even have the will to overcome this little awkwardness, so Punk comes to the conclusion that Kane just doesn't want to risk fighting!
Kane is not the kind of battle maniac who likes to walk between life and death, if he doesn't need to, the cautious knight will never take any risk to shoot, the last time in Red Roy City, Kane Ken took over the vitality of the "battle after the break" is only because he thinks that the protector of the Portcart Kingdom will not be able to make it to the battlefield, and the punk has long known the wariness of the cunning knight that is incompatible with most of the warriors.
Right now............ Clearly, Kane had no intention of fighting at all, either for safety reasons or ...... I really hate the smell of tar.
Seeing Kane's actions, Punk frowned.
There is no doubt that when the battle begins, Smile really needs to be protected by someone closely, otherwise any ordinary tar beast may take the life of a fragile girl, so the two of them must have a combat power to deal with the tar beast king who does not know the depth, and this job is ...... Do you want to do it yourself?
Seeing Punk's cold face soon, Kane also lowered his face and waved his hand again and again:
"Sai'an, don't bully people too much, your strength is already stronger than Uncle Ben, there are more life-saving means than Uncle Ben, and you won't talk nonsense about being safer in the face of a strong enemy, just talk about the last time, the last battle was Uncle Ben who rushed up to fight conscientiously, and the master-level corpse last time was also provided by Uncle Ben, is it a bit too inauthentic for you to squeeze a "life-passing brother" like Uncle Ben like this."
Although Kane was still yin and yang when he spoke, Punk could see that the knight was already very serious at this time, and the blood in his pupils that was condensing more and more showed Kane's anger at this time.
In fact, Kane's resentment is also easy to understand, if you think about it carefully, it seems that this knight has encountered all kinds of unlucky things since he traveled with punk, but its benefits have not been as big as sesame, whether it is in the Wild Desert or in Red Roy City, basically all the benefits are in the hands of punk, but most of Kane's investment has been wasted.
Looking at it this way, Kane's frenzy is normal, and what he said is not wrong, punk's behavior is indeed very inauthentic.
But............ Who is Punk? He's a profit-oriented spellcaster, and he doesn't care if it's a punk or not, if it weren't for the contract restriction of the Eye of Judgment, the first thing Punk would do was to fire two "fast kinetic energy cones" at Kane, as long as he could plunder benefits, Punk would not have any ambiguity at all.
But then again, if you think about it carefully, Punk also realizes that he is now an ally with Kane, and the outbreak of this knight's evil and chaotic camp may be unusually irrational, if he goes too far, it will be a big trouble, and forcing Kane to go to the battlefield, this guy will also not be able to work, and then he can only make everyone unlucky.
Therefore, appropriate concessions are more conducive to the interests of the future and also help to maintain a favorable cooperative relationship!
Thinking like this, Punk didn't dwell on a near-winnable battle, he just took a deep look at Kane's pupils, and then indifferently pulled out the "Staff of Grief and Hate".
"This time I made a move, but with a smile...... Kane, I hope you don't put it off."
"Uncle Ben is dragging his feet? What a joke! In Red Roy City, I don't know who threw the precious "key" in danger, you might as well be careful if you have nonsense, and don't be used as a snack by a monster for a while."
Kane mocked the punk without flinching, but even if the performance was very unreliable, the knight, who had already become serious, carefully formed a circular barrier of 360 degrees around the smile with his fighting spirit, and under the sunlight through the oilwood leaves, the pale golden vindictive barrier presented a glowing halo.
Punk was noncommittal about Kane's words, and he was not interested in engaging in a nutritious bickering with this idle and boring knight, and the cautious caster only cautiously checked the defensive spells on his body again:
"The Crimson Ruby Necklace provides fifteen stacks of spell defense – complete".
"Crimson Ruby Necklace Activation Status - Confirmed"!
"Hetezta Crate Solidification Spell - Charge Complete"!
"Master Robe Solidification Spell - Charge Intact"!
"Staff of Hate and Sorrow Solidify Spell - Charge Intact"!
"Magic Raven Vector............ Well, you can't expect too much on this."
"Self Mana Reserve - Full State" ............
After making sure that he was in near-perfect condition in every aspect, Punk took a blank step towards the nearby Tar Lake, no matter what enemy he faced, a clever spellcaster would never let his guard down, even if there was only one big prey that was basically caught by his hands!
