Chapter 13: The Rat Man Raid (I)
~ͬ 9@Vr / d AR,o K 1 roP؎ 3 @ '%Z( 3 x~{N lf In the world, people classify various creatures according to their body type for the purpose of assessing their combat effectiveness, and the three types of creatures are roughly at the same level as humans: "small size", "medium size" and "large size".
The difference between each body type is "doubled", that is, a person with a small body size is about half as tall as a medium body type, and a large person is about twice as tall. Of course, these are all estimates, and no one is bored enough to take a ruler and measure them.
Specifically, goblins are the most common small-sized sapient creatures, and their small size gives them an extra boost to their dexterity, giving them an edge in things like thieves. But this is a benefit that only purebred goblins and even high-class goblins can have, and a half-breed goblin like Lulu can't enjoy the benefits of too much bloodline.
While the nezumi also have an advantage in agility, this advantage is much offset by their physique - they are not small enough, and to make matters worse, they essentially belong to a branch of the orcs.
All orc branches have innate strength or physical growth advantages, and they also have intellectual disadvantages.
Thieves also need intelligence, whether it is training and mastering skills, or setting and disarming traps, intelligence is one of the keys.
As a weird branch of the orcs, the innate agility growth of the nezumi is often covered by the strength or physique growth of the main body of the orc bloodline, so that most ordinary nezumi cannot show excellent agility, as for the strength or physique advantage - looking at their thin arms and legs, it is not very likely.
However, according to the estimation of the "biological research expert" Han Feng, if we take ordinary rat people as a model, analyze and adjust the bloodline, and give sufficient nutrition and proper training from an early age, we can cultivate a subspecies of rat people who are not tall and look quite slender and slender, but have excellent strength.
"This kind of research doesn't make much sense. "A small man, a slender man, and a man of great strength...... I'm looking for wild elves to cultivate, which is much more reliable than looking for rat people. Wild elves still have a long lifespan and high intelligence, and after they are trained, they can become excellent experimental assistants, what can the rat people do?
"Can act as a thug. "Someone suggested it at the time.
"I'm a scientist, I don't have any quarrel with the world, and I don't need any thugs. Cold Wind ended this brief discussion of the rat people in words that no one believed.
When he saw the ghostly rat man looking around, the panda immediately remembered this passage.
In the next moment, Lulu showed the old spiciness of a veteran thief.
Before the rat-man could react, he had already picked up the pre-wound crossbow, the blackened crossbow was barely visible in the dim sewers, only to hear a string sound, the rat-man's eye sockets had spurted blood, and a quenched crossbow shot through its eyes, directly into the brain.
Kill with one stone!
Panda secretly admired in his heart, Lulu's archery skills were superb, and what was even more powerful was his keen reaction and decisiveness to kill without hesitation. It deserves to be a real old Jianghu!
In terms of archery, there are many people who are better than Luru among the traversers, for example, his old friend Skye can carry three arrows on a bow at the same time, and shoot the nezumi in the eyes and throat respectively, and there will be absolutely no mistake. But if Skye is here, he may be able to spot the enemy faster than Lulu, but his first arrow will never shoot in a fatal position, and most of the time he will choose to shoot the opponent's hand, so that the opponent will lose the ability to resist.
It's not about the level of skill, it's just about personality. Skye was a white-collar worker with a good life before he crossed over, and after the crossing, he also had no worries about food and clothing, and he also got an immortal body. This makes his character develop in a gentle and stable direction, with a calm and unhurried "gentleman" style, not like Lulu, who usually seems to be no threat, but as soon as he makes a move, he is cold and vicious, and he is ruthless.
Among the traversers, there are many people like Skye, but it is only a few like Horus who rush to cut the enemy into two as soon as he makes a move.
The three apprentices of the panda are not that kind of ruthless people, so when they saw Lulu shoot the rat man with an arrow, they were all startled, and Ruiyana couldn't help but mutter: "You are really ruthless in this shot!"
"He's a scout, can't make him hear. Lulu explained, "Although the fight will definitely be discovered, if it can drag on for a while, the more sure it will be." ”
Of course, Erwin and the others also knew this truth, so they only frowned secretly, and their previous plans to go to his house as a guest after completing this mission were naturally canceled.
Just because they can understand this and accept it doesn't mean that they are willing to make friends with such people.
The panda glanced at Lulu and wondered if he could consider recruiting Lulu to Tara Khan after this adventure was completed?
Although Lulu is old, his experience is still very useful, and for a person like him, it is more appropriate to be a teacher than a thief. Even if it is just for him to introduce the "experience of the rivers and lakes" to young people, it is worth preparing a salary for this.
He wasn't worried that Lulu would teach bad students, the old thief was a smart man who knew how to read words and looks, and wouldn't do such stupid things.
This world is not the earth, and there is no country or government that can tolerate university professors spraying themselves all day long.
With this in mind, in the battle that followed, in addition to guarding the back of the team, he was carefully observing Lulu.
The old thief was a great archer, but his ability to fight with a dagger was mediocre. When they gradually approached the base camp of the nezumi organization and clashed with a dozen nezumi, Lulu rushed up to fight as he had said beforehand, and it took more than a minute to kill a nezumi thief in almost one-on-one situations.
Panda clearly saw that his dagger kung fu had not been instructed by professionals, and he was a complete wild man. Although the shot is very ruthless, there are many loopholes.
Combined with Lulu's living conditions, he was roughly certain that this old thief had indeed been messing around in the lower echelons of society, and was not a spy from those big organizations.
Words can be faked, deeds can be faked, but all kinds of subtle habits during battle are extremely difficult to fake.
A person who can cheat to this point is an ace even in spies, and he will definitely not fall to this.
He watched carefully, and the apprentices and Lulu were also fighting hard, and a nezumi wearing armor and holding a short sword noticed that the panda was standing next to him, and he didn't know what to think, so he screamed sharply and rushed towards him.
This guy is menacing and looks dangerous, and Lulu can't help but take a second look at this side.
Then, he saw this rat man, who he knew at a glance to be very powerful, and was slapped by the black bear man who seemed to be sick and had lost all his hair, and flew out with a single slap, and slammed into the wall of the sewer, and blood spurted out at least four or five paces away.
The old thief's eyelids twitched, but his heart was much lighter.
(It seems that I can go back alive and safe on this mission!)
He just thought about it, and suddenly his scalp was numb, and his heart was alarmed......
