Chapter 40: The Silver Threaded Golden Raccoon Rat
The fourth thief was killed instantly, and the number of enemies was reduced from six to two, but Leon also lost his primary weapon and had no new hole cards.
As the tomahawk slices through the hapless man's body, the leader of the thieves, Jason, also moves.
But instead of rushing forward at Leon, he took a step back with his dagger in his hand, and disappeared into the night as if it had never existed.
Leon did not have the slightest joy of victory in his heart, and when he found out that Jason had disappeared, the sense of crisis in his heart was extremely strong.
The stealth of the thief! Leon had seen this kind of thief's unique ability to disguise his actions, but that thief was absolutely nothing compared to Jason.
There was no sign of the opponent, but there was another one not far away, and the remaining thief was raising his crossbow - he had finished his second reload.
There's no time to hesitate!!!!!!
Sou!
The thief's crossbow bolt flew into the sky, and he received a flying stab in the chest and left shoulder, a blow that would have killed him if it weren't for the protection of his leather armor.
The wounded thief immediately dropped his crossbow and turned to run, realizing that he was definitely no match for Leon, and that staying here would only cost him his life.
But Leon was no slower than him, and he caught up behind him in between breaths.
"Jason, come and save me!"
The thief, who found something wrong, sent out a desperate cry for help, wishing that he could grow four legs.
But the faster he ran, the more blood spurted out of the wound on his chest, and he only ran a few dozen meters, and his strength slowed down as the blood was rapidly lost.
"Jason... Ahh
The thief's cry for help got stuck in his throat as Leon's tiger stabbing saber pierced his vest and pierced his heart!
But at this moment, Leon felt a chill in his vest, and the hairs on the back of his neck suddenly "exploded", and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart, making him almost suffocate!
"Hey!"
Without hesitation, he drew his saber and turned to stab back, trying to parry the fatal blow from behind.
Burst!
A dagger glowing blue stabbed under Leon's right shoulder, and the sharp tip of the dagger pierced Leon's tough skin without condensation, digging deep into the flesh until it was stalkless!
Leon's body was shocked, and his body became extremely stiff, as if he had been cast a petrified magic in an instant!
I don't know when, Jason launched a sneak attack behind him, although Leon was mentally prepared and aware of the other party's attack, but his movements were still a little slower.
The figure of the leader of the thieves was fully revealed, he held a dagger in one hand, his long lean face was full of hideous smiles, and his wolf-like eyes were full of violence.
The strange thing is that the dagger that stabbed Leon kept emitting blue rays as thin as silk threads, and spread towards Leon's whole body with the piercing mouth as the center, twisting and swimming, making a sneering sound.
Leon only felt as if he had been hit by a high-voltage electric current, and the muscles of his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and the electric current rushed to his brain, making his eyes black and his mind blurred, and he had no ability to resist at all.
The hand holding the tiger stabbing saber hung in the air, but it was powerless to stab at the close enemy.
"I said, barbarians...", the leader of the thieves, who had taken the full initiative, licked his lips, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a hint of cat and mouse mockery: "Don't worry, I won't let you die so happily!"
"Every inch of your flesh and blood will be a sacrifice for my dead brother!"
He raised his left hand, and between his index and middle fingers, a blade as thin as a cicada's wing, sliced into Leon's neck.
Leon, who was stiff, could only watch his opponent's movements, without the slightest room for resistance.
Is this the end of it? The unwillingness and anger in Leon's heart turned into a raging fire, making the blood boil all over his body.
The tiger head tattoo on his chest suddenly became extremely hot, and a trace of heat escaped from it and rushed to the whole body, and most of the electricity raging in the body was swallowed up in the blink of an eye!
With a little more time, Leon would have been able to regain his ability to act, but his opponent did not give him this opportunity.
Boom!
Seeing that the blade was about to fall on Leon's neck, a huge fireball suddenly flew from not far away, bombarding Jason's back heavily!
The leader of the thieves, who was only thinking about how to torture Leon to death, was defenseless, and a fireball containing powerful magical power exploded, blasting his back open, and the shattered armor and flesh and bones were mixed and flew everywhere!
"Ahh
The leader of the thieves let out a terrible scream, and the whole man threw himself forward and crashed into Leon's arms.
Bang!
Leon jerked his head down, and his head slammed down on the head of the thieves.
His head and neck recovered the fastest, so how could he miss this opportunity to beat the water dogs.
The suffocation of the opponent who almost killed him made Leon riveted his strength, and the collision actually caused Jason's skull to dent and his brain burst.
The leader of the thieves fell on his back, his eyes wide open, and he could not die anymore.
"Whew!"
Leon spat bloody spit in hatred, feeling a burning pain in his right chest, and the thief's dagger stabbed him in the lung.
He gritted his teeth, reached out and pulled out the dagger directly, holding it down with one hand at the moment when the blood shot out.
It wasn't just the wound that was uncomfortable, the tiger head tattoo on his chest was getting hotter and hotter, and the gushing heat flowed through his body, destroying the invading current while also making his body suffer.
This was not the first time Leon had felt like this, and he couldn't figure out what the tattoo was all about.
Elder Munstan said it was a totem, but he knew in his heart that it wasn't just a totem.
In this tiger head tattoo, there seems to be a mysterious and powerful force lurking, which is usually inconspicuous, but at certain times, such as facing the invasion of foreign forces, it will suddenly burst out.
It's just that for Leon, this power is of great help to him, the current that invaded his body just now should be the fighting spirit of a thief, without its protection, Leon is afraid that he will suffer serious internal injuries.
"Boss, are you alright?"
Akran appeared in front of him.
The mage's face was anxious, and he was relieved to see that Leon was still standing: "Thank you for the blessing of the gods, I finally came in time!"
Indeed, if it weren't for Akram coming back to help, with the situation just now, Leon would definitely be extremely dangerous.
"I told you to go find the rock hammer, but you didn't listen..."Leon said a little stupidly, but there was a warm current in his heart: "But I have to thank you for saving me!"
"This is my duty, a follower should defend the Lord with his life!" said the mage seriously, "You are injured, drink this healing potion first!"
Leon took a green crystal bottle from the mage, he remembered that it had cost hundreds of gold coins to buy a few potions in the city, and he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
The effect of the healing potion is very good, combined with Leon's self-healing ability that is somewhat perverted, the wound heals quickly and no longer bleeds, but it will take a little time to completely heal.
While Leon was tending to his wounds, Akram circled around and killed several of the badly wounded thieves.
The young mage was not ambiguous at all in his work of killing people, and in the end, he did not forget to loot the loot on the corpse, and there was still a lot of gain.
"What is this?" the mage curiously plucked a fur pouch from the waist of the leader of the thieves, bulging in the pocket as if something was wriggling.
He pulled the rope open, and a golden mass popped out of his pocket and landed on the mage's hand.
"Ahh
The mage let out a cry of pain and was bitten by the little thing.
The little thing immediately jumped up and tried to run away.
But Leon, who was standing next to him, was quick to reach out and grab the mass in his hand.
After looking at it, he saw that it was actually a small chipmunk-like thing, fluffy and fluffy in his hand, with a tail dragging behind it.
With golden hair, big eyes, pointed ears and a mouth, he looks quite cute and smart, and there is a white line on his forehead that extends to his neck.
After being caught by Leon, the little guy was still restless, baring his teeth and trying to bite Leon.
"What is this?" said Leon.
And Akran took a closer look, and his face became a little solemn: "I know, this is the Silver Thread Golden Tanuki Mouse! First-level Demonic Beast, I can't imagine that this thief has such a pet!"
The Silver Lynx is a mountain-dwelling beast that is rare and difficult to catch, and its value lies not in its ability to attack, but in its extremely sensitive sense of smell, making it an excellent companion for scouts, thieves, and hunters.
It is said that as long as the Silver-threaded Golden Raccoon Rat's breath has sniffed the scent of an object, it will not forget it for several years, and it can trace the source of the object's breath, and it is best to use it after domestication to search for escaped enemies or lost items.
"This thief must have taken the bounty on me and sniffed my belongings with a golden raccoon, so I was only discovered while I was in the city, and let them track them all the way here!" explained the mage.
"What a good thing!" Leon looked at the little guy in his hand with bright eyes, this thing is simply a natural tracking weapon!
"Can we tame it?"
The mage thought for a moment and said, "It should be possible, right? But it takes time to recuperate, of course, we have to prevent it from escaping first, this little guy is clever!"
He palpitated and touched the bite wound on his hand.
The heartless old Lei smiled, stuffed the silver-threaded golden civet back into the leather pocket, and carefully hung it on his belt.
"Alright, let's go quickly, lest we be discovered!"
The two quickly disappeared into the darkness.
On the side of the road, six dead bodies were left behind.
