10. Poisoning

In fact, Zhao Yuan gradually discovered that it seemed that on the Cold Beast Continent, the relationship between the orcs and the human race was not very good. Except for the rabbit girl he saw at the beginning, who had shown him kindness, the other orcs, including Old Xuanwu, were initially hostile to him. And even though they have now made a friendly pact and become best friends, their concept of the Terrans is still very unfriendly.

Moreover, the superb equipment that Monroe got for himself was also smuggled from the Donghuan Continent of the Terran Race. The reason why those Terrans who stole things dared to trade with the orcs was naturally because they were sure that the orcs would not betray themselves to the Terrans on the Donghuan Continent. This also reflects the unfriendliness between orcs and humans.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but secretly note in his heart that he would be cautious when he saw other strange orcs in the future, and until he was completely familiar with his own strength and the rules of this other world, he still didn't want to leave for the Donghuan Continent immediately. I always feel that I have been with the orcs for a long time, and as a human race, I have begun to hate the human race, Zhao Yuan thought with tears and laughter.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yuan and Monroe returned to the mansion, and the two servants behind them carried a lot of things, mostly snacks, and some fresh gadgets that Zhao Yuan had never seen.

Zhao Dashao experienced the feeling of being fostered for the first time, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

Night gradually fell, and the bright starry sky once hung above Zhao Yuan's head, and unknown small insects emitted a faint purple light on the treetops, dotting the entire courtyard like a dream. He ate too much in the afternoon, and when he returned to his room, he couldn't help but taste a little bit of all kinds of snacks, so he was a little supportive. Fortunately, it was early summer, and the weather was not too hot, so Zhao Yuan simply walked around the courtyard. The others have long since rested, and the orcs' work and rest are always very regular, and the sunrise is the day and the day is resting, so that Zhao Yuan, who is used to staying up late to play games, wakes up at noon, and gets up at noon, is very uncomfortable, and every day after the sky gets dark, he is in the room and plays with the magic in his body to sleep.

But today the old turtle told him that it would be better to go directly to the magic academy system of the Donghuan Continent in the future, and he was already an eighth-order archmage, so there was no need to waste time. Zhao Yuan secretly complained that the old turtle was lazy, and he was lazy himself.

Thinking about it, he had already walked around the courtyard, his stomach was not so uncomfortable, and he was about to go back to his room to think about life and go to sleep, when suddenly he felt a strange fluctuation in the air.

Although Zhao Yuan has not studied magic solidly, he is an eighth-order archmage, and with a frown of his brows, he judged that this was a man-made magic fluctuation, someone was in this courtyard, and he was casting or maintaining a magic, Zhao Yuan realized.

But wasn't the only mage in the Monroe family himself? He felt that something was wrong, and with a gesture, a light spell had been cast in an instant.

Illumination is a spell that is essential for mages in the game to fight invisible units. It can mark invisible units within that radius. Originally, Zhao Yuan cast this spell, in fact, it was for another function, the light technique, the light technique, as the name suggests, is to use light, and in an instant, the entire courtyard was as bright as day. What I didn't expect was that Zhao Yuan really saw four shadows with bright marks on their heads appear in the courtyard, and they were really crooked!

Is this a burglary? Zhao Yuan was a little stunned for a moment, and then reacted, he was a fifth-order martial artist, an eighth-order archmage, what else were he afraid of!

The four people who were illuminated by the light technique were also shocked, when they were preparing for this mission, they knew that there was a mage above the sixth order in the Monro family, and it seemed that he was still a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, so he specially bought a high-level stealth scroll to stealthily assassinate, just to avoid Zhao Yuan. Originally, their plan was to wait for Zhao Yuan to leave, but Mu Si had not appeared these days, and they suspected that she was breaking through. After all, Mu Si was already at the peak of a fourth-order martial artist before giving birth, and she was ready to break through, but the husband and wife forcibly postponed it because they were afraid of the impact of childbirth, and after giving birth, Mu Si would have a period of weakness for up to a month, and her combat power was only at the third-order level.

Moreover, in this world, the basic consensus of everyone is that mages are very weak and have little power to parry against assassins and melee warriors, and any mage will have a warrior partner or servant by his side to ensure their safety at close range.

This is why Monroe would say to Moose before that Zhao Yuan was "abnormal" at all.

In an instant, the four of them had already made a judgment, they were already relatively close to Zhao Yuan, and the four of them were all fifth-order masters, so they could kill Zhao Yuan before the Monroe couple rushed over, and then kill the couple again.

The four of them glanced at each other, and their bodies swept in four directions like the wind, after all, it was basic common sense that mages could not gather in a group.

Zhao Yuan also felt a prickly sensation on his skin, and half a month of forest life had already let him know that it was the perception of killing intent. Since he didn't come well, Zhao Yuan didn't have any scruples, and as soon as he raised his hand, an aura of resistance had already unfolded. With a bang, the two fastest killers were bounced away by the aura, and the other two killers had never seen such magic, but they also reacted extremely quickly and withdrew from the aura's reach. And the two killers who were bounced off reacted very quickly after they landed, but they only felt a cold wind blowing in front of them, and although the alarm bell was loud in their hearts, it was too late. As soon as the wind was hit, the two of them were immediately covered with a faint layer of hoarfrost. Without waiting for the two to break free, Zhao Yuan did not hesitate to use a sixth-order group spell - Energy Absorbing Ghost Vine The two killers who could still move freely immediately lit up with cyan martial energy, and easily dodged the ghost vines that were entangled, but the two killers who were temporarily fixed were not so lucky, and they were directly entangled by the energy-absorbing ghost vines, and the hands and feet that could move just now immediately began to numb, and what was even more terrifying was that they clearly felt that the martial energy and vitality in their bodies were being continuously absorbed, and they were transported along the ghost vines to the body of the Terran mage.

Successfully opened two energy-absorbing ghost vines, Zhao Yuan's heart was steady, and now he was equivalent to a buff that returned to blue and blood, and those two killers couldn't move unless he ran out of mana. Now it's just a matter of dealing with the remaining two.

Seeing Zhao Yuan's strange methods, the remaining two killers couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle. But thinking of the rich reward given by the mission and the two trapped companions, the two of them glanced at each other, and both saw the determination in each other's eyes.

A cold light flashed in the hand of one of the killers, and a dagger stained with black liquid pierced the air and attacked Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan's body was covered with cyan martial energy at this time, and he didn't put a dagger in his eyes at all, and was about to take control of the two of them, when suddenly there was a pain in his abdomen, he lowered his head in disbelief, and found that the dagger actually broke through the martial energy defense layer on his body and stabbed into the lower abdomen.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it, this dagger has my secret poison on it, which is mixed with the poison of the deep-sea blood jellyfish, which can ignore the defense of martial arts and magic, such a small point, I was originally going to deal with the Monroe couple, but unfortunately you didn't die and bumped into it. The dagger-throwing killer laughed. "I heard that you are very talented, and you have cultivated both magic and martial arts at a young age, but after ten breaths, you are going to die, what a pity. ”

"Then do you have an antidote?" Zhao Yuan's hand trembled a little, but he still gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger from his lower abdomen, and looked directly at the killer's eyes with pain.

"There's an antidote, but...... Do you think I might give it to you? hahaha!" The killer thought Zhao Yuan was ridiculous, and he had to pull out the dagger when he was about to die, and he suffered that sin in vain.

Zhao Yuan was silent, and beads of sweat the size of beans quickly appeared on his forehead. After the poison entered his body, he felt as if his body was being torn apart, and a piercing pain spread along the wound in his lower abdomen to his whole body, as if someone was holding a bayonet to cut his internal organs. Zhao Yuan wanted to scream in pain, but he also understood that it was useless, and at this time, a burst of coolness suddenly erupted on his forearm, which made him suddenly sober up, and it turned out that the old turtle was using his own strength to help him.

[Boy, hurry up and find a way, I am protecting your heart now, but this poison is too powerful, I'm afraid it won't last for a while] Old Xuanwu's voice has always been slow and impatient.

Zhao Yuan's heart froze, and all kinds of thoughts in his mind turned rapidly, he restrained the pain in his heart, stared at the every move of the two killers with his eyes, and said mockingly: "Aren't you very strange, why is it that the ten breaths have arrived, and I am not dead yet." ”

The two assassins didn't understand what was going on, and no one had ever been able to survive their secret poison for so long, not even the Mori Yan clan, which was highly resistant to poison. "Hehe, look at your two companions, their vitality is now enjoyed by me, and I will not die until they are drained by me. At this time, Zhao Yuan's voice was already a little hoarse because of the pain, but in the ears of those two killers, it was endlessly vicious.

The four of them have grown up together since childhood, and they have cooperated seamlessly, sharing blessings and hardships. Now that they have finally become the ace assassins on the killer list together, and after completing this mission, they can truly be recognized by all masters and all races in the future, and they will receive both honor and money, how can they bear to watch their brothers being consumed alive like this.
