Chapter 159: Grappling (1)
Seeing that the target was back to him, the fire element stopped hitting the ball before, and the black hole on the ground gradually shrunk and disappeared, as if what it did before was just to force the Leach five to return to their original place, and at this time, the goal had been achieved, so naturally there was no need to continue.
After seeing the five people approaching, the flames on the fire element's body obviously became vigorous and active, although the face was still expressionless and wooden, but it gave people the feeling that it was very happy.
Aware of this, Leach couldn't help but wonder, "Kumar, why is it pestering us?"
After making sure that the Fire Elemental had no intention of attacking for a moment, Kumar carefully explained, "Because it wants to eat us. ”
"Eat...... Eat?" Leach's eyes widened, almost thinking he was hallucinating.
I don't know if it's out of habit, or because human meat doesn't suit its taste, generally speaking, even carnivorous monsters rarely eat people, but ordinary beasts will hunt ordinary people to feed themselves when they are really hungry.
The reason why Leach was surprised was that Kumar had just said that this fire element was transformed from intelligent beings not long ago, and now he suddenly found out that this guy wanted to eat people, which was really chilling and unacceptable.
I said...... Let's choose another path, it's okay to waste some time. After listening to Kumar's explanation, Leach involuntarily had a picture of a sluggish fire elemental grabbing a human thigh and gnawing wildly, and he suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach.
Although the absolute strength gap between the two sides was not large, Leach still retreated.
"It's not like we're going to be able to walk if we want to. Kumar smiled bitterly, "We didn't have the intention of leaving just now, so it forced us back in that way, I dare to pack the ticket, at that time, if we turn around and run, it will definitely catch up with the fastest speed, even if we can't catch it all, but also catch one by one." ”
Thinking of the speed of the fire elemental at the beginning, and the poisonous flames raging everywhere here did not seem to do any harm to it, Leach reluctantly found that what Kumar said was quite tactful, and he really had to act according to the script he said, and in the end, if the five of them survived, two of them would be considered to burn high incense.
It's no wonder that the fire elemental would attack them with a method that seemed sharp before, but actually had little effect on pursuit, it turned out to be a plan to kill everyone.
"Well, it looks like there's only one fight. Since the initiative is not in his hands, Leach can only accept his fate.
However, seeing that the fire elemental was still standing in place without making any movement after waiting for so long, Leach couldn't help but be even more puzzled: "Kumar, what is it waiting for?"
"It's thinking about who to eat first......" may even think that this answer sounds very unreliable, and Kumar has a crying and laughing expression on his face.
But before Leach could complain, Kumar explained, "I'm not kidding. As I said before, Devil Fruits have quite a lot of side effects, and for Iron Furnace Dwarves, in addition to the change in image, the biggest disadvantage is that eating Devil Fruits will affect their minds. ”
"The Iron Forge Dwarves are a very simple race, otherwise they would not have the perseverance to do the dirty work of forging weapons. Originally, for other races, eating Devil Fruits would at best make them bloodthirsty and manic, but the Iron Furnace Dwarves are pure-minded, and after eating Devil Fruits, in addition to becoming murderous, they will also become sane and will only act on instinct. ”
"I don't know what the principle is, after the iron furnace dwarf becomes a fire element, if he can absorb pure soul energy, he can gradually regain his senses, so for this guy, the five of us are almost no different from the five heavenly and earth treasures that can move by themselves. ”
"Now it's like facing five delicacies and not knowing which one to start with, that's pretty much it......
After saying it in one breath, Kumar noticed that Leach was looking at him with a very strange gaze, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"I said, Kumar, how did you come to this conclusion, as if you had eaten that Devil Fruit too, it was simply empathetic. ”
Kumar then knew what the problem was, it turned out that he had explained it in too much detail, and even described the psychological state of the fire element, no wonder Leach looked at himself with that kind of eyes.
After thinking about it, Kumar hurriedly said: "What I said is all summarized and guessed by the predecessors of the clan based on some ancient legends, and there is no reliable basis at all, but the fire element does eat people, which is absolutely true!"
"Forget it, whatever!" This is obviously not a good time to discuss the authenticity of it, Leach decisively put aside the topic, "Since it doesn't do it, then let's do it first!"
Leach's decision was exactly what Kumar wanted to propose, and it was also the most appropriate way to deal with it at the moment, so as soon as his words fell, the five of them launched an attack on the fire elemental in a daze.
The first to arrive was an arrow shot by Saya.
Since most of his martial arts are fire-based, Saya was worried that he would not be able to deal effective damage to the fire element, so he used a magic arrow specially made in Ambrera's alchemy shop.
These arrows are very expensive, but they are infused with ice magic, which can cause considerable damage to fire-type monsters.
With Shaye's net worth, he only customizes five such arrows, and he is usually reluctant to use them at all, and only when the situation is very critical and he has no other effective means of coping, he will take it out for emergency.
The most important thing is that this kind of arrow has a limit on the number of times it can be used, generally speaking, one such magic arrow can only be used four times at most, and any more is no different from ordinary arrows.
Since he had already felt the power of the fire element before, Saya took out the guy at the bottom of the box without saying a word.
It is said that you get what you pay for, and there is still some truth to this.
As soon as the arrow shot by Saya broke through the burning flames on the fire elemental's body, the effect was immediate.
I saw a ball of azure light suddenly appear near the body of the fire element, and the fire element, which was still in the illusion, was not the slightest defense, and its body suddenly encountered cold air in the extremely hot situation, and several cracks appeared at once, and even the flames in that part were suddenly dimmed a lot.
Under the pain, the fire elemental finally came to his senses, wielding a flaming hammer and roaring towards the five people.
