Chapter 182: Whack-a-Mole (Gaiden)

In the middle of the night, fifty meters below the Count's house, Little Spoon followed his father down the narrow staircase. Torches were lit one by one on the walls along the www.biquge.info road, and the faint light of the fire illuminated the narrow staircase, spiraling downward.

"Is there a place like this under my house?" asked Little Spoon. The sound turned into an echo in an instant, reverberating back and forth in it, and even the light of the fire was shaken.

"This is one of the national underground passages," replied the Assassin Headmaster, "and you don't need to know what it is. ”

"Oh. Little Spoon replied.

After a few more walks, the stairs finally come to an end, and in front of you is a huge underneath space. The walls were lit by torches, but the light still felt dim. There was a figure standing in the clearing, looking like a dwarf, with a large sword at his waist.

"President, you're here. The dwarf stepped forward and saluted. When I walked in, I realized that she was a female dwarf.

The guild leader nodded, and turned to the little spoon to introduce, "This is our four-star assassin, codenamed 'Whirlwind Sword'. Ranked 8th. From now on, she will be your instructor. ”

"Instructor?" Little Spoon looked down at the man who was only up to his waist, and although he knew that this must be a master, he always felt a little funny.

"I'll send it here," the guild leader turned to try to leave, leaving a message, "You can practice here, and you don't have to go out during the day." Whirlwind Epgen will teach you everything instead of me, and it's good enough to have the eighth-ranked person teach you, you see. After saying that, the man had disappeared, and judging from the experience of the little spoon, it was clear that the president had gone far away.

As soon as the president was gone, there were two men left in the night, one tall and one short, staring at each other in the dim light of the fire. Little Spoon pulled out her weapon, a retractable spear, "Instructor?"

"Are you in such a hurry?" the female dwarf flicked her arm and clapped her hands empty-handed, "Let's get started." ”

Little Spoon shook two spears with his gun: "Then, shall I come first? Won't you take a sword?"

"It depends. The female dwarf just smiled, looking calm and calm.

The little spoon no longer scruples, knowing that the other party must be a master, the spear shook, and the person still fluttered like the wind. Extremely fast, but no vindictiveness is revealed. It is the assassin's vindictive concealment technique, the barrel of the small spoon is hollow, and unlike ordinary people who burst out with vindictive energy, the blade glows outward, she glows inward. At this time, the barrel was already filled with vindictive energy, but it was not visible from the outside.

When an Assassin performs an assassination at night, it is also very noticeable if the light of chaos glows in the first fight. Moreover, the flow direction and local strength of the fighting spirit in the battle are also one of the basis for the opponent to estimate his next move during the battle. If it's all hidden, it's not easy to judge.

In addition to the hollow weapon, the clothes worn can achieve a similar effect. Although the vindictive spirit bursts out, it is only controlled between the skin and the clothes. Assassins will basically have a local burst of vindictiveness, as long as the head does not explode vindictive, and the clothes do not leak, the appearance cannot be seen. This requires extremely high vindictive control skills, and it will be easy for the opponent to misestimate the strength in actual combat, thinking that there is no vindictive spirit.

But there is a big gap between the hidden fighting spirit and the full-blown fighting spirit in terms of power, and it is almost half of the feeling. In addition, special clothing and weapons are required, and hollow weapons are not only difficult to build, not easy to popularize, but also of poor quality. It's okay to fight for a short time, but it's easy to be damaged if you fight for a long time on the battlefield.

It's just that for the Assassins, these shortcomings are not a big problem, although the power is a little lower. But from hiding the fighting spirit to fully exploding the fighting spirit, it is just a moment, and it is basically a matter of roaring. Depending on the combat situation, it can change randomly, as long as the technology is in place, it is not a problem.

The small spoon grabs the flowers everywhere, and the wind is strong. But the other party just shook it slightly, and actually flashed it cleanly: "Is the vindictive spirit hidden? In terms of explosiveness, it's better for you to burst out all of them." ”

Little Spoon was not reconciled, feeling that he still had a lot of skills to reveal. And there is a full outbreak of vindictiveness, fatigue will be very fast, and the little spoon has not moved for a long time, and it is itchy for a while, and I want to move my hands for a while.

The spear was locked off, and it changed from a long spear to a short spear in an instant. Compared to before, the swing speed is suddenly faster, and the person is closer to the other party, and even attacks with legs and feet from time to time.

The female dwarf finally had to make a one-handed block and start blocking, but her face remained completely unchanged, and she was still at ease: "Oh, the gun has shrunk a bit, and will it be shrunk again for a while?"

The little spoon did not speak, and immediately shrank again, and at this time the spear was only the length of a long sword, and the little spoon held the end and turned it into a cloud of silver light. The man went one step closer, and his left hand even tried to pull at the collar.

Suddenly, I felt a pain in my ankle. The person was already unsteady on his feet, but the female dwarf in front of him clearly did not make a move. The little spoon didn't have time to think about it, and the people had already rolled on the spot, away from each other.

When I looked down, I saw that there was already a hole in the ground just now. And my ankle still hurts dullly.

"Keep an eye on your surroundings while fighting," the dwarf replied with a smile, then beckoned to the hole, "Come out and let her see." ”

A slope rat immediately emerged from its burrow with a hammer in its little paws. Apparently it had just done a good job, and looked back at the little spoon, then smacked it with its buckteeth. Immediately drill back into the bottom.

"Is it your pet?" said the little spoon rubbing his ankle.

"The steel-toothed earth slope rat, a type of demonic beast. I've trained to be my helper," the dwarf just smiled, "and you always have to have some means when you're out and about, and sometimes it's not convenient to do it, so just let it come." ”

"Oh. "The little spoon is still rubbing his legs.

"Actually, with your current strength, it won't be much help to fight against me," the female dwarf spread her hands, "Although the best way to improve your strength is to keep fighting, but actual combat also depends on the object." ”

"Oh. ”

"Well, you play with my dirt rats first, and then you can do the next step of training. The female dwarf snapped her fingers in the air. Suddenly, four earth rats emerged from the ground, standing in a row like soldiers. The coat color is extremely similar, almost a copy of the same one. But the weapons in the claws are different, and there are those with small hammers, those with small crossbows and arrows, those with small knives, and those with rope loops.

Little Spoon looked at these earth slope rats with some surprise, although they seemed to be well-trained, but this little monster wanted to fight her, so it was too much to underestimate her.

"Did you know that there is a game called whack-a-mole," the dwarf asked, throwing a racket with her hand, "I've trained quite a few rookie assassins, and they've all been through this game. The rules are very simple, gophers come up, just use this beat to pat them, don't push too hard, otherwise you will get hurt. Got it?"

The little spoon was a little dazed, but nodded anyway.

"Then let's go," the female dwarf waved her hand, and she walked directly to the exit stairs, "I'll go and bring some daily necessities, and you can practice slowly." ”

The female dwarf just left, leaving four earth rats to burrow into the bottom in an instant, without a trace. The little spoon held the paddle and looked left and right, but it was not yet in the state.

Suddenly, the slope rat had broken through the ground and stood upright at the entrance of the hole, about 10 meters away from the little spoon. The little spoon hurriedly flew over to shoot it, and the slope rat had already burrowed underneath. Then, 20 meters away, another dirt slope rat came out.

The little spoon was helpless, seeing that even if he ran over this distance, the other party would inevitably shrink into the soil, but at this time there was no other way but to run wildly. This one did shrink in, but another one came out of the side. The little spoon hurriedly turned, but this one had already retracted, and the one behind it came out again......

Four earth rats popped up one after another, playing with the little spoons. It doesn't have any fixed holes, so if you want to get out, you can drill it out directly. Sometimes the little spoons don't go to them for a long time, and they strike the gong. I don't know where the gong came from, but the sound is noisy, very harsh, and annoying.

About half an hour later, the dwarf returned from outside, bringing back a box that was much taller than her. Looking back at the little spoon, I saw that she was already sweating profusely, bent over in the middle, holding her knees and panting. The four earth rats are located in four corners, and they keep beating the gong in their paws, which looks very provocative.

"How's that? how many hits?" asked the dwarf.

The little spoon didn't answer, and he was really embarrassed to say that he didn't hit it once. But at this time, seeing that their owners have returned, and it is time to speak, there may be a chance to relax. The little spoon immediately adjusted and exhaled, burst out of the fighting energy of his whole body, and tried his best to pounce on the dirt slope rat in front of him.

The earth slope rat is still beating the gong, still beating the gong, it doesn't seem to react? It's going to be successful......

Suddenly, the little spoon felt a tightness on its feet, as if it was tied with a rope. The person also suddenly lost his balance, and at this time he was so tired that he couldn't even use his tricks, and he directly fell down in front of the soil slope rat with a dog eating feces.

And the earth slope rat was still beating the gong, just 3 meters in front of her.

"My earthrat is a trap," the dwarf explained with a smile, "and don't think it's easy to hunt whack-a-mole. ”

The little spoon lay on the ground panting, sweat and mud rubbed on his face, and he clutched the paddle in his hand, very unconvinced, and his mouth did not say a word.
