Chapter 208: Encounter (2)
Hu Bin, who had reloaded his bullets, didn't aim again, he didn't want to use these expensive alchemy bullets against those frightened mercenary minions, in fact, if he didn't want to test the performance of the Skull Crusher, Hu Bin didn't even want to waste a bullet.
With the fall of the leader, the scene suddenly became awkward, and those mercenaries fell into a dilemma. After all, they are not outlaws who specialize in killing people and goods, and these mercenaries are only doing this business occasionally for money and leaders, and the reason why they dared to besiege the mages in the car before was because they were paid for all the time.
But now that the leader holding the source of remuneration is hanging, if the mercenaries continue to kill the person in the car, they may have to bear the consequences of exposure and the risk of being killed by an insider, which is really worth the loss, but if they don't kill the killer, it is impossible to make the mage in the car trust them, and when the time comes, when the family is safe, it will be themselves who will suffer. Not to mention the fact that there might be a murderous mage watching them in the dark.
Nicole, who was hiding in the car, didn't dare to move even more. She had long been aware of her stepmother's insidiousness, and she already felt that this trip was a little dangerous, so she specially prepared a few more scrolls for self-defense, and perhaps also planned to let her father recognize the true face of her stepmother. But she didn't expect that the danger did not come from robbers and killers, but from the group of mercenaries who accompanied her, and the plan was completely disrupted for a while, and she had just recorded the conversation with the mercenary leader and the conspiracy of her stepmother, but it was obvious that she was about to lose her life.
At this time, Nicole was holding a magic scroll of fireball magic tightly in her hand, ready to deal a fatal blow to the robbers who rushed into the carriage, and then blew up her magic power all over her body, not giving those mercenaries half a chance to capture her alive. In the period of time when the mercenaries have not rushed in from the beginning of shouting and killing, Nicole seems to have experienced centuries, and under the accumulation of fear, the mind that has just made up her mind to die together has also been shaken, and the ** of survival is getting bigger and bigger.
"Is there any conspiracy they have failed?" With a curiosity like a cat scratch, Nicole couldn't help but peek out, and secretly peeked out of the window with half of her head out. Then the gaze could not be taken back.
A brightly colored fireball of quality and quantity fell into the crowd surrounding the carriage, instantly blowing up a vote of mercenaries. This attack only made the mercenaries breathe a sigh of relief, the method of quietly blowing off the leader's head just now was too terrifying, and they would rather face a straight mage. They are also reluctant to face an assassin with bad intentions waiting for an opportunity, even if the former will cause them more damage.
Looking in the direction from which the spell came, the mercenaries found that the enemy was not a mage wearing a robe and holding a staff, but a warrior with a fully armed sword in his hand, but they all took him for the mage's retinue bodyguard. Now the mercenaries don't have to be entangled, the enemy is coming to the front, of course they are holding their knives and shoulders, but for this warrior who rushed up, the mercenaries didn't pay too much attention to it, and the mage behind him was the real target worth guarding against. Half of the quick-reacting mercenaries had already rushed to the woods behind them from both sides. In their predictions, the warrior who had the courage to rush forward might not be bad, but he would definitely turn back to protect the mage behind him, and with such a containment, it would be easy to take out this group of guys who somehow ruined their good deeds.
"Could it be someone my father secretly sent to protect me?" The mercenaries didn't know why someone was attacking them. Nicole began to press the identities of the group in front of her to several masters in her family.
After reaching this conclusion, Nicole, who didn't know that there was only one helper, also got excited, and casually tore up the scroll of the fireball technique, but unfortunately the magic power in the scroll was really not very good, and the fireball that flew out only burned the two mercenaries who were standing very close.
Hu Bin didn't pay attention to other people's thoughts, he only had himself on his side plus the unreliable mage in the carriage, and there were still twenty or thirty mercenaries on the field. If he fought head-on without using his hole cards, he still had a lot of pressure, and the best he could have expected was to be able to escape safely after picking up the mage in the car.
Hu Bin, who was constantly attacking forward, was very fast, and immediately passed the mercenaries who were copying backwards, and quickly pulled away a few positions with them, and the mercenaries who stayed behind suddenly felt that something was wrong only reacted when they saw that the enemy was about to rush in front of them. With a loud shout, he was emboldened, and he raised his knife and was about to slash forward. However, the roar quickly turned into a scream, and a large hand of flames gripped them tightly, and the hot air followed their breath into their bodies, burning their chests. But as a member of the High Magic World. Even an ordinary mercenary would not be easily killed by a low-level spell, and soon the remaining magical flames around him would dissipate under the influence of the mercenaries' own resistance.
But Hu Bin didn't expect a low-level spell to kill them, and under the cover of magic, he took the opportunity to let the blades cut by two enemies pass between them, achieving his goal of getting close to the carriage.
Seeing the aristocratic girl looking at him with a little surprise through the carriage window, Hu Bin didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, tore open the door of the carriage, carried the girl who was a little unclear about the situation on his shoulder, and then ran away regardless of it.
Of course, the mercenaries who surrounded the carriage would not let the two of them run away like this, and rushed towards Hu Bin one after another, but Hu Bin, who was ruthless, raised his hand and opened the way with a holy sword impact, and then turned back to another holy sword impact after it was broken, and continued to run wildly without looking at the effect, and disappeared from the mercenary's field of vision after a while.
The mercenaries, who had no intention of continuing, chased forward for a while, but after losing the sight of the two of them, they retreated, and after searching the carriage, they immediately evacuated the place with their injured companions. But at this moment, a team of well-equipped cavalry rushed from the side of the plank road, and the snow-bright knight's sword swept through the cold light, and quickly wiped out the mercenaries who were loose and caught off guard.
"My lord, Mademoiselle is not in the car." A knight with an ornate emblem on his cuirass listened to his subordinates' report, his brow furrowed tightly under his helmet, and he saw that the battlefield with no living mouth was standing silently, and the burden that was still dripping blood slipped from his hand, revealing the beautiful human head inside.
"If you live to see people, if you die to see corpses, search!" With a suppressed roar, many figures scattered in all directions.
……
"Release, put me down!" Nicole's feeling was so terrible that she wanted to ask if this was the master of the family. As a result, this guy carried himself on his shoulders without saying a word. It was just that she didn't notice it in the nervous escape just now, but Nicole watched those vicious mercenaries disappear from view, and when she came back to her senses, she was still being carried away like this, and her face turned red all of a sudden. As a lady who has been educated by the aristocracy since she was a child, she has a good upbringing. It's a shame to be carried in this position.
"Be honest!" Feeling that the person on his shoulder was constantly moving and struggling, the impatient Hu Bin had to slap it down, feeling that the guy on his shoulder was silent in an instant, Hu Bin continued to run forward with satisfaction.
"It feels good!" Hu Bin, who didn't realize what he had done, subconsciously muttered.
Feeling her ass slapped hard, Nicole froze instantly, and then the phrase "it feels good" made a huge sense of shame welling up from her heart, almost forcing tears out.
"Shameless bastard, how dare you hit a lady...... I'll bite you to death. Nicole felt that she couldn't go on, and at this moment Hu Bin was even more hateful in her eyes than the previous mercenary leader. Nicole, already confused, struggled even more violently.
"Don't move!" Hu Bin's slap slapped it again, and the girl on her shoulder was finally completely honest.
The second slap woke Nicole up, and although she was still mad, it brought her reason back to her head a little. As a weak mage and Miss Ga, Nicole knew that she was no match for this armored monster if she tried hard. If you provoke him, this guy may do something even more terrifying, so it would be really useful to save your strength and use your clever mind as a mage to think about how to get out of the current situation.
Nicole had already made sure that the guy under her had no accomplices, and the methods he had used came to Nicole's mind. First, he silently blew up the mercenary leader's brain, a method that Nicole had never heard of, but still classified it as some kind of spell. The fireball that followed also confirmed that this guy had the ability to cast spells, and that he was only as high as himself. Later, he broke out of the woods where he was hiding and broke through the mercenaries' defenses. Nicole saw a lot of things from here, such as Hu Bin's physique is very good, his speed and strength have reached a high level, and the two sword lights when he escaped are powerful, and he is definitely a powerful warrior.
Nicole realized at this time that the strength of the people under her was a little terrifying. Both martial arts and spells are outstanding, and there is absolutely no one in the family who can reach this level.
In the end, Nicole came to the conclusion that she seemed to have just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den again, but fortunately, the pervert didn't seem to be hungry yet.
Hu Bin ran for a long time and finally stopped. There was a target in his perception before, and he didn't really get rid of it until now, while panting, he put down the girl on his shoulder, Hu Bin began to feel that this time he was lucky, in addition to the leader, there were people among the mercenaries who could track them so far, but fortunately they didn't clash head-on with those guys.
Nicole has been pretending to be a good baby for so long, waiting for this moment to come, as soon as her toes hit the ground, she quickly attacked Hu Bin's vital point in accordance with the wolf prevention style taught by the maid, and her hand quickly reached into the scroll bag and touched the cold ice arrow. Nicole's plan was good, but after being resisted on her shoulders for a long time, Nicole's feet immediately felt a burst of soreness when she landed, and at this time she raised one leg and wanted to kick someone, but it directly caused her center of gravity to be unstable, and she fell to the ground fiercely, and the scroll that had just been drawn out was thrown into the sky in a panic and slowly fell.
"There's still a chance!" Lying flat on the ground, Nicole ignored the pain in the back of her head and buttocks, and reached out to catch the falling scroll, only to be intercepted in mid-air by a gloved palm.
"Stop making a fuss." Just three words ended all of Nicole's hopes, and she watched as the armored monster took her treasured scroll into her arms, then turned to face Nicole.
"Woo~, what do you want to do as a pervert, be careful that I will die with you!" Nicole was really frightened, and when she saw that the monster seemed to want to do something, she immediately grabbed her robe and curled up in place.
"Perverts?" Hu Bin was stunned, but in Nicole's eyes, he thought that this was a reaction to what he said, and he was even more scared for a while.
"Seems to have quite a lot of capital." Hu Bin came in time to take a serious look at this girl who had been carried all the way by himself, and found that she was really eye-catching, and her wide mage robe still couldn't hide her bumpy figure. "It's a pity that the big chest is brainless." Hu Bin stared at his chest for a while, and after a review, he came to such a conclusion, and then sat down casually and rested.
"I'll kill you!" A woman's mind is like the weather on the sea that changes when she says it, and Nicole who was scared of death just now. After hearing a certain faux pas, he broke the string called reason in his head, grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it over, and then struggled to pounce on Hu Bin with the strength that came out of nowhere.
"Hey, hey. That's how you treat your savior? Hu Bin suppressed the little wild cat who rushed forward with one hand, and seeing that she was still struggling, he simply pressed it directly on his knee and slapped her ass a few times.
"Ah......, don't~." Nicole suddenly covered her mouth, and she found that the last sound she made was even a shock to herself.
"I—How could I ......." This time Nicole really cried, she felt that all the bad luck in this life was concentrated in this day.
"Stay here honestly, don't let the beasts of the forest run away." Hu Bin saw that this girl seemed to be a lot more honest, and was ready to get up and find a place to camp nearby, and by the way, he would hunt two wild animals and open meat.
Watch as the monster goes farther and farther away until it's out of sight. Nicole immediately ran away, she would rather fall into the mouth of the beast than stay with the monster. After running far away in one go, and making sure that she had escaped the monster, Nicole stopped out of breath. However, she found a problem that she had to face, where did she run to?
Here, Hu Bin successfully found a good campsite, and after setting up the tent, he was about to call the rescued girl over, but when he returned to the same place, he found that there was no one left.
"She wasn't really taken away by a beast, she's a mage!" Hu Bin looked around, and found that it didn't look like there was a sign of a beast attacking, it looked like the girl had left on her own. "That's it. It seems to be just a small task.,The task rewards have been given.,Why don't people go?,I thought this was a precursor to a big task.。 Hu Bin patted the Ice Arrow scroll on his chest and thought that yes, this guy's mind is still retained in the mission mode of the RPG game.
…… The Lost Girl's Dividing Line......
Nicole says that her current situation is simply terrible, although she is not the kind of lady who stretches her hand for food. However, the level of experience in surviving in the wild is limited to an outing with a few nobles of the same age in a carriage surrounded by a large group of guards, which is not helpful at all for the current situation.
The sun that was still hanging in the sky had already set in the west, and the sky was gradually getting darker, which was even worse for Nicole, who was still looking for a way. Without the slightest sense of direction, she no longer knew whether she was walking in a straight line or not, but she was still relying on her will to persist in trekking through the forest.
Hunger and thirst gradually hit Nicole, but the spells full of spells and scrolls in her hand couldn't help her in any way, although there were two spells in the spells, water creation and food creation, but Nicole, as a nobleman, had never studied these spells, so naturally she couldn't release them.
The occasional rustling sound from nearby scared Nicole, and the monster's words reminding her to be careful of the beast began to fill her mind. In the dim light, it seemed as if a fanged monster would burst out of the shadows cast by every tree, and it gave her the same terrification as the demonic head his father had placed in the room to decorate, and she could not stop walking.
After finally tripping over a tree root lying across the ground, Nicole found that the sky had completely darkened, and all kinds of sounds in the forest began to sound, and the creatures that haunted the night showed a pair of sparkling eyes, and kept looking at Nicole.
"Get out of here!" Nicole pulled out a fireball scroll and tore it open, and the fireball that shot out caused a ball of fire in the big tree not far away, but scared away many animals entrenched here. But as the fire faded, the real predators appeared nearby.
Nicole finally remembered to use the mage's light spell to dispel the darkness, but as the light spell rose into the air, a huge figure appeared in view.
"Earth Bear!" A trembling voice came from Nicole's mouth, she had seen this kind of monster from the mage's illustrated book, maybe the druids on the elven side would be happy to exchange ideas when they saw this big guy, but Nicole had no interest in having anything to do with it, because the Earth Bear was a serious carnivorous monster.
The Earth Bears are strong enough to single out a knight, and they are not picky eaters, and they will even go to the undead to hunt down the Crypt Demons when they are hungry. Although Nicole still has the last fireball scroll in her hand, she has no hope, the Earth Bear's natural skill Earth Armor is the nemesis of fire-based magic, and if it is not extremely strong, the mages will not be far away from provoking these rough-skinned and grumpy guys.
The Earth Bear didn't seem to mind the weightless prey in front of him, and was leaning forward step by step, its eyes full of indifference, and its jaw opened and closed twice at will, revealing the sharp teeth in its mouth, as if it was tasting the prey's chew.
"Roar!" The Earth Bear let out a low roar that scared Nicole to the ground, and frightened off the other predators who were lying in ambush nearby, and it was not in the habit of sharing food with other beasts.
The light technique lost the mana support of its master, and gradually dimmed, in Nicole's eyes, it was like her own fire of life was about to be extinguished, and she regretted a little at this time, whether she should have stayed by the monster's side before.
ps:
Shouldn't I write something heavy and restrictive, such as something that can be eaten by removing the head?
