Chapter 116: Temptation
At night, the egret stood alone not far from the makeshift camp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lulu had already slept, although it was in the wild, but it was nothing to a knight who had been trained for a long time.
The survival battlefield is the most terrifying at night.
During the day, it is ferocious beasts that come out to feed. At night, it's time for the sinister monsters.
In the woods, there is a kind of bug. This insect has six compound eyes, in the shape of a long strip, with dense and fine limbs and feet, and the anterior segment is an oval with sharp toothed mouthparts. They are small, the size of a person's index finger, but they live in groups.
These little creatures eat everything, dead corpses and living creatures, as long as they meet them, they will be eaten up in an instant, and not even a bone will be left.
Egret and Lulu were specifically taught about this bug during their training. That's why the temporary camp was placed near the lake, and these insects were afraid of water, and as soon as they entered the water, they would freeze as if they were frozen in ice. These little creatures also have a limited range of movement and do not move for a long time, so they will not have any destructive effects on the ecology.
However, these days of trial, they are all in the active period of bugs. Egret and Lulu naturally know this. The knights of other empires may not know. Each of these little insects can be easily pinched to death, but when hundreds of thousands, millions of them are gathered together, they are more terrifying than any monster. Also, they don't give points to the knights.
Who wants to encounter a vicious insect that will die if they don't kill it, and if they kill it without any benefit? At least the egret doesn't want to do it at all.
Combat Trials allows the dead.
Or maybe the previous trials were as easy as playing at home, but when it comes to the time of battle, it will really be bloodied and wounded. Therefore, Egret and Lulu are extremely careful to preserve their physical strength. so that you can respond to changes at any time.
The night of the survival battlefield really doesn't make people lonely. The Egret's eyes were fixed on the sharp-toothed beast in front of it, which was a bit like a jackal, grinning with teeth and a sly and fierce look in its small eyes, surrounding the egret.
These are nearly seven sharp-toothed beasts, and they are already the third wave of "guests" that the egret has encountered at night. The poisonous pythons and large spiders that came earlier have been chopped into pieces by the egrets. Perhaps because of the bloody atmosphere, the egret, which had not rested for a moment, ushered in these seven sharp-toothed beasts again.
The strength of the micro stage can bring 1 point of income to the egret. It's better than nothing. The egret didn't dare to move too much, for fear of affecting Lulu's rest. You can only rely on your own physical strength to fight the enemy.
The jackals whined at the egrets and made their characteristic threatening sounds. The egret was upset when he heard this, and drew his knife and slashed, falling like a flash of light towards the sharp-toothed beast in front of him.
But these toothed beasts are very smart. The Toothed Beast, which had previously attracted the Egret's attack, quickly leaped backwards, intending to miss the Egret's attack, but the Toothed Beasts that surrounded the Egret's back and flanks attacked the Egret's attack at the same time.
"Idiot. The egret smiled evilly, the blade of the knife flipped over, and the blade itself was straight down The blade turned in the air, and it took a circle around the body, and the blade and the sharp-toothed beast that pounced on it came into close contact, and it only took this one time to get 6 points.
The only one left whimpered, and turned to flee in fright. The egret didn't pursue, but frowned as he stared in the direction of the sharp-toothed beast's escape.
A fist reached out of the air, as if it had burst through the air, and slammed into the Tooth Beast's body. The beast couldn't even make a terrible snort, and was killed with a single blow.
Among the knights, there is only one person with such a level of fist power.
Martial artist, Jack!
The egret discovered this guy's breath early in the morning, not because the egret was strong in exploration, but because this guy didn't hide his breath at all.
People who practice holy martial arts seem to have a kind of upright and rigid posture. Jayne didn't bother to hide or sneak up on anything, and he knew what he did.
"Where's Marianne? isn't that madwoman with you?" Jack was the only one in the egret's perception, but Marianne was nowhere to be found.
Jack frowned when he heard this, "Your Excellency seems to have some prejudice against Deputy Master Marianne, which is somewhat inconsistent with the demeanor of a knight. ”
Is it the violent maniac who doesn't fit the knightly demeanor?!Are you sure you have the face to say me?The egret pulled his cheek, and his blood was surging with anger.
"Besides, I don't think that to deal with you, we still need our deputy head to take action!"
The egret's eyelids jumped, and his eyes froze. "I don't think you can come here in the middle of the night for no reason. It turned out that he couldn't bear it, and he wanted to withdraw from the trial so quickly. ”
The eyes of the two men met, and sparks collided in midair.
Without saying anything, both sides saw the battle intent in each other's eyes. Jack is a master of empty-handed combat, and whether he has a weapon or not does not affect his combat effectiveness. And the egret got the sword from the beginning, which can be described as evenly matched.
The egret didn't want to wait for anything to happen. The battle qi on his body surged out, condensing a purple light on his body. Not to be outdone, Jack's fists emitted a condensed white light.
The first to strike was Jack, and the Holy Martial Arts used offense instead of defense, and it needed close-quarters combat to play a role. He was like a slippery loach, swimming to the egret with a very fast body, and punching against the egret's body. The punch is not strong, even if the punch distance is so short, but the egret is also excited, and the hairs all over his body stand up.
Naturally, it was impossible for the egret to let Jack succeed, with a war knife in his right hand, the egret swung in front of him, and his body moved backwards, while keeping a distance from Jacka, while using the blade to resist Jayne's attack.
The fist slammed into the knife with a clanging sound.
Jack sharpened his fists like steel, and even if he collided with the blade, he would not be hurt at all. Not only that, but the continuous attacks were blocked, but it only inspired Jack's fighting spirit, and his fist power and speed increased further, and his body pressed closely.
The egret has experience with such attacks, and the egret, which often fights against Nina, has always faced attacks that are dense and difficult to resist. And compared to Nina, Jack's attack is a little immature.
The principles of martial arts are basically the same, and whether they can exert their power mainly depends on the user's understanding and means. Nina's sword skills are a combination of many well-known swordsmanship techniques, and they are quite powerful. All skills, as simple as it is said, is to find the opponent's "blind spot" and attack, because people's attention is very limited, skills are to use various ways to deceive or exceed the limit of your attention, and then surprise your attack, you can achieve results.
The egret has long been "raised" by Nina's fighting skills, and Jack's slightly immature attack methods are simply unable to break through the egret's defenses.
As the attack was always blocked, Jack's heart began to be a little impetuous, and with a swing of his body, he stepped on the white light under his feet, and suddenly kicked towards the chest of the egret. The egret's body writhed as if it had no bones, and in an instant it avoided it.
"There's a flaw!" Egret seized Jack's slightly larger move this time, and hit a time difference, and the blade reversed and picked up from the bottom up. Jack turned sideways to face the egret, barely having time to deflect his head.
The blade flashed, and it slashed through Jack's ear, bringing a few strands of hair down. Jack snapped back a few steps, his eyes fluctuating. Closely watched the egret.
Marianne was right. You're a fierce rival. ”
"You're not bad either. The egret rubbed his chest, just passing it in the air, and Jack's feet made the egret's chest ach faintly. Not to mention what happens if you get kicked hard.
Jack leaned forward, alerting the egret again. But Jack suddenly stopped. His eyes froze for a moment, "Forget it this time, next time we meet, I will compete with you." ”
As he spoke, he moved and then hid in the forest.
The egret knew that this guy wanted to continue attacking, but suddenly retreated, and understood the reason. Turning to a big tree, he said, "All right, Lulu, the people have retreated." ”
Lulu jumped down from the big tree where she was hiding, frowning a little: "This guy's perception is really strong, obviously I have used my hiding skills to the maximum, but he can still feel me." ”
"Malicious. "I've heard Nina mention that these knights of the Holy Radiance often have to fight with some necromantic monsters, and those things have no breath of the living, so the perception of the knights of the Holy Radiance Empire is biased towards malice or murderous aura. They are much more perceptive than we are. ”
"I see. Lulu nodded, then looked at the many monster corpses on the ground, and smiled, "It looks like you've gained a lot." I'm just up now, so change shifts with me. There are still a few hours until dawn and you can have a good rest. ”
The egret fought for a day and then for half a night, and although his body was not tired, his spirit was already a little tired. Hearing this, he didn't refuse Lulu's kindness and put away the knight's sword. Nodding at Lulu, he turned and went back to the makeshift camp to lie down. He didn't fall asleep for a while, and he felt a little nervous.
Jack's sudden appearance is not a good phenomenon. This proves that each group of knights is not as far apart as they think. Moreover, the act of lighting a fire by the lake itself was to attract allies, but unexpectedly, the enemy detected it first.
"It seems that in the morning, we have to change the method. Egret thought about it, he and Lulu also carried the weapons and equipment of the two groups of knights of the Ice Moon Empire and the Dean Empire, and they had already obtained weapons on their side, so they were not afraid of fighting, but if these two empires met Jack first, the result would not be easy to say.
Thinking about it, the egret slowly closed its eyes, and it didn't take long for it to fall into a deep sleep.
