Chapter 5 The mind is guessed, and the night attack becomes useless
"Sword Lord!" Justin whispered softly. He clenched the sword in his hand, knowing that he was no match for Li Shigao with either magic or swordsmanship alone, but he clearly understood his advantage: his opponent did not know his hole cards.
Justin did not dare to flee because he had no roots within the empire. Once the news of his escape comes out, it is believed that the opponent will send more masters to chase him. In particular, some powerful people in the empire are bound to want to catch themselves and seize the interests of the Thorn Lord. Therefore, he only has to fight and kill all the people on the other side that he has enough time to escape.
Picking up a banana leaf beside him and wiping the blood on the sword, Justin was afraid that the smell would arouse the other party's vigilance. If you want to plan the Sword Lord, you must be thoughtful and meticulous, and you can't show the slightest horse's feet.
Checking the equipment on his body, Justin found that the magic wand had become a burden at this point. He couldn't help but lament: I am a great magician!
Time is urgent, and Justin can't help but sigh more meaninglessly. So he packed up his dagger and slipped it into his boots, then strapped his wand tightly behind his back, sword in hand.
Justin's body is like a raccoon cat, soft and silent. He used his wind technique to climb a tall tree and use his eyes to find an opponent. After a while, he saw that the opponent's existing three teams of men and horses were in the shape of fans, and the fan handle was naturally the opponent's city guards, and the people who held the fan handle were Li Shigao and Master Merlin, who were 500 meters away from the city guards.
Justin quickly fled with a blast of the wind, as he felt as if his location had been discovered by the other party, otherwise he would never have searched so aggressively. Although he doesn't know where he is exposed, he must find a way to break the game.
Quietly marching in the direction of the rightmost end of the fan, Justin lurked and waited.
After a while, the city guard did get here, and Justin knew that he had to kill with one blow, and it was impossible to strike a second time, otherwise he would have to intercept it. Therefore, he waited for the city guard to pass him, and slashed directly at the neck with his great sword from behind.
The other party sensed the strong wind behind him, turned his head to look back, but was horrified to see that a big sword had arrived, and closed his eyes in despair, but could not open them again.
Justin quickly used the Wind Blaster to flee the scene, and then sneaked to the rear of the opponent's formation.
The opponent did not change formation due to a sneak attack, and they continued to search for Justin's traces.
When Justin saw Li Shigao and Merlin two thousand meters in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow lightly. These two people have no chance to speak of themselves together. What to do? Can we only wait until after dark?
He retreated quietly, wanting to see what terrain he could use around him or something. After all, this is not a simple battle, but a fight of life and death. Live, keep fighting, die, and rest in peace.
Justin felt that he was already hungry, and he had eaten less food in the morning, which he had been using sports tactics, and he couldn't help but be mentally tired and physically a little hungry and thirsty.
He used the concentration of the water element to find a small river and catch a few live fish in it, but he didn't dare to grill the fish on the fire in the evening, otherwise the green smoke from the burning branches would become a positioning tool for his opponent. So Justin began the prelude to eating live fish.
After eating the fish and replenishing his strength, Justin washed himself in the water, and then took out a magic robe from the package and put it on his body. This was prepared for him by Jia Ling before he left, fortunately he brought this baggage, otherwise there would really be no change of clothes.
After doing all this, Justin quietly left. He needed to find a hidden place to regain his mental strength, and only when he was in the best mental state could he have the confidence to kill Li Shigao.
Soon, Li Shigao and others searched by the river. Looking at Justin's clothes still by the river, as if mocking them.
Li Shigao angrily used his sword to shred his clothes into pieces, as if he had crushed Justin to pieces, and he breathed a small sigh of relief in his heart.
"It's getting late, and the likelihood of us continuing to search for casualties will increase, so it's better to wait and wait for Justin to come!"
Li Shigao was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Justin still dares to attack us at night?"
Grand Magician Merlin replied, "We must not take Justin lightly, you can see that he has been dealing with us but is unwilling to flee, and you can imagine that he is very vindictive, and most likely wants to leave us all here." ”
Li Shigao sneered and said, "He is alone, he wants to keep us." A sword lord and a great magician, it's a joke!"
Grand Magician Merlin said solemnly, "Attacking one of us by surprise, attacking one of us when we are not looking, maybe this is really possible." ”
Li Shigao thought of Justin's strange skills, and this time he did not refute it, but said quite approvingly: "Master Merlin's words are reasonable, it seems that we can't despise him because of his low cultivation." ”
Justin didn't know that Master Merlin had actually analyzed him as the head of the road, although he was not far away. Now he wants to attack the camp with great difficulty, and he may even fall into the trap of his opponent.
As the night wore on, Justin, who had adjusted his entire state, followed the route that Li Shigao might have taken. He made full use of his keen perception to find Merlin's location by perceiving magical elements, and then learned where Li Shigao and others were camping.
Halfway through the journey, Justin suddenly realized, "Is this sensitivity to the elements of magic unique to me or to the magician's possession?" If Merlin also has it, wouldn't he be able to sense me with his strength?"
Justin hesitated, if Merlin could sense his presence, then the night attack would be a joke and could even lead to his own death. But if Merlin can't sense his presence, then his spiritual power may surpass that of Mage Merlin, so that he can gain the greatest advantage in this night.
To bet or not to bet, this is a crucial question, and Justin has no choice. If he could choose an opponent, he would definitely choose Merlin, because Merlin had him in mind. If you change to another opponent, you will definitely not have much chance of escaping.
"Fight!" Justin gritted his teeth and said to himself.
There are many dead branches and rotten leaves in the mountains and forests, and if you walk on the ground, there will inevitably be movement. But you can't use magic unscrupulously, and then Merlin will notice it.
The clever Justin began to move with the wind, and when the night wind blew, he cast a clear wind spell, using the natural wind as much as possible to reduce the fluctuations of the magic element. Fortunately, he had been honing his magic element control ability before, and he was able to use it handy at this time.
Gradually, Justin won steadily, despite the hard work. After about an hour, he finally felt the fluctuation of powerful magical elements in front of him, but he couldn't see any fire.
"Did they already realize that I was going to attack at night?" thought to Justin, a little confused. Suddenly, a man popped into his mind: Merlin. It must have been Merlin, otherwise Li Shigao, who was angry, would never have thought of this.
Justin lurked there quietly, not daring to make the slightest move. In the silence of the night, there was no sound except for the rustle of leaves driven by the wind blowing the branches. It looked like tonight's action was going to be canceled, and Justin made a quick decision. This is by no means a normal camp, according to Li Shigao's strength, why is it so quiet, at least there should be someone walking around and talking.
Despite the idea of a night attack, Justin still wanted to know what a safe distance he and Merlin would be in the dark, so he continued to sneak. When Merlin was still two kilometers away, Justin didn't dare to go any further. If the other party arranges an encirclement around it, then Justin will not be able to escape.
As a result, Justin gradually receded with the wind. When he retreated to a distance of three thousand meters, Justin tried to sense other breaths, but unfortunately he didn't get half of it. He quietly retreated another thousand meters, and then lay there, constantly using his mental power to expand the distance of perception, but there was nothing to gain except for Merlin.
Half an hour later, Justin retreated two miles again, and then quietly meditated to regain his mental strength.
As the sky gradually brightened, Justin saw the smoke rising from the camp, and it seemed that the other party had finally let his guard down. If I don't succeed tonight, I'll have to get out of the way, and I can't stay here again. Because the other party is very likely to inform the Ark City Lord, at that time, he really can't leave if he wants to.
Such a confrontation is really not good for yourself, and the other party can take this opportunity to recover, while he is consuming all the time. No, thinking of this, Justin let out a long howl and began to flee towards the mountains and forests in the western direction.
The smoke disappeared after the whistle, and Li Shigao ordered the city guards to follow him in pursuit.
"We don't have to rush to catch up with him, we just need to slowly maintain a pressing position and make him tired," Merlin said. When he can't hold on, that's the time we harvest. ”
Li Shigao thought about it when he heard this, and praised it: "Haha, Master Merlin is a good plan. This Justin is like a rat in a chimney in the empire, and he is angry on both sides. He must have nowhere to run. ”
After a short gallop with Justin Wind, he slowed down and rested. However, he soon sensed Master Merlin's movements, and as a last resort, he had no choice but to continue to flee.
After doing this three times, Justin figured out the other party's strategy. Such a vicious tactic of exhausting the enemy was definitely conceived by Merlin. He hated it so much, this damn Merlin, sooner or later he wanted him to look good.
But it was useless to curse, and Justin could only continue to abscond. When he sensed the rich water element in front of him, he excitedly cast a fifth-level wind spell, Gale Technique.
