Chapter 40: Psychological Shadows
Zhou Ming turned around and used his double knives to block the bald steel knife, but after all, the strength of his waist and abdomen was insufficient after turning around, and the slashing of the bald head was performed with all his might, Zhou Ming wanted to insist, but he only felt that his strength was insufficient, and he shouted anxiously: "Silver armor, do it!"
This shout made the bald head's heart seem to skip a beat, and on the other side, the silver-armored boy who had completed the winding got up and assumed the standard position of kneeling and shooting.
The bald robber who turned his head and saw this scene shouted "Mom", and thought, how could Zhou Ming let go of such a good opportunity, the double knife that was originally forked in front of him was twisted, and the bald steel knife was pressed in front of him to prevent him from withdrawing, the bald head was cold at this time, if he gave up the steel knife to avoid this arrow, then Zhou Ming, who held the double knife of the earth, would easily solve him, but if he didn't let go, then he couldn't dodge this crossbow arrow......
But at this critical moment, the slightest hesitation will be fatal, not to mention, the speed of the silver armored boy's crossbow arrow is a few points faster than the ordinary metal crossbow he used before, because this crossbow arrow, he did not deliberately aim at the throat of the bald head.
"Boom!"
That's right, this is the sound that Zhou Ming heard when the crossbow arrow hit the bald head, in Zhou Ming's surprised eyes, the bald head's chest was directly pierced with a half-foot diameter round hole, and his eyes were round and fell into a pool of blood.
The battlefield finally fell silent, the three corpses lay quietly on the ground, and finally Zhou Ming and the two still won, but both of them had a bad face, although the other party moved the killing intention to them first, but the feeling of killing was really bad, especially the last blow of the silver armored boy, the shocking blood hole completely knocked the red-eyed Zhou Ming back to his senses, even if he was used to seeing blood as hunters, even if they would be killed by the other party if they didn't kill each other, Zhou Ming still couldn't believe that he really killed people。
"Let's go, don't look back, it's important to go and save people first. Zhou Ming tried his best to make his voice sound not trembling, but the silver-armored young man couldn't control himself first, and spit it out with a "wow", this time it was good, as soon as he vomited, Zhou Ming also spit it out.
"Let's go, let's go......" The silver-armored boy vomited the contents of his stomach, still retching, wiping the blood on his face that was scraped on the ground, and trying his best to maintain his composure.
The two of them had never experienced this kind of thing, and in a panic, they only remembered that they were here to save people, so they supported each other and walked tremblingly towards the direction of the mine, and when the two of them walked away, Hong Menglong and another middle-aged man appeared together in the place where Zhou Ming and the two were surrounded just now, both of them used Hong Menglong's way of appearing without a trace, and it can be seen from this point that the middle-aged man who came with Hong Menglong is not simple.
"Your apprentice?" the middle-aged man asked Hong Menglong, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, "Aren't you not accepting apprentices?"
"He is the son of Zhou Zhantian. Hong Menglong replied, "He fought well, but he had to ask the master to help him clean up the battlefield." ”
"The first time you kill someone, you don't want to raise him to be a killing embryo. The middle-aged man waved his hand, and suddenly the world within a distance of more than ten meters around him seemed to be about to burn, and the explosive fire element was running around in this red field visible to the naked eye, only Hong Menglong was still wrapped in a layer of pale cyan wind blade, but his wind blade could not be released, it could only be attached to his body, so that the frenzied fire element could not get close.
"Alas, after so many years, there is still no way to go further......" The middle-aged man glanced at Hong Menglong, sighed regretfully, stretched out his hand, and suddenly, the frenzied fire elements all floated towards the three corpses, and in an instant, the three corpses disappeared without a trace, and there was not even a piece of ash left.
"After escaping the Heavenly Tribulation, I am destined to be unable to enter the Heavenly Level in this life. When it comes to sadness, Hong Menglong is also gloomy.
"Aren't you worried about your little apprentice, with his current state, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to deal with a low-ranking three-star beast. After cleaning up the battlefield in an instant, the middle-aged man took his own domain and gave Hong Menglong a thumbs up, "I will complete the two knives you asked me to order within a month, I hope it can be of some help to this child." ”
"Thank you. As soon as Hong Menglong gave up his hand, the two of them disappeared at the same time, and the cool breeze of early autumn blew, as if everything before had never happened here......
Hong Menglong naturally went after Zhou Ming, and he went to find his old friend early this morning, a ...... with heaven-level strength Blacksmith, to create two props for him Zhou Ming to use in the next stage, this blacksmith has previously built weapons for him, Zhou Ming's father and Long Zhen, I heard that Hong Menglong accepted apprentices, this guy had to run over to take a look, just in time for Zhou Ming and the two were surrounded by robbers.
At the beginning, Hong Menglong was still thinking that once Zhou Ming missed, he would rush directly to solve those guys, as an old hunter, he had seen strong winds and waves in his life, and he knew that as long as he went out of the city, his life was only in his own hands, and killing a few people was really nothing new for him.
However, Zhou Ming once again brought him a surprise, not that Zhou Ming's murder was a surprise, this incident itself was beyond Hong Menglong's expectations, but Zhou Ming's adaptability in the battle was indeed far beyond that of his peers, and the moment when he threw out the knife in his hand to save the silver-armored boy made Hong Menglong praise it a lot. He also made mistakes because of his lack of experience, and was punched in the back of the heart by the bald head, and almost fell, but then his handling and the timing of the opening of the trick moon body method were perfect, and finally the cooperation with the silver armored boy to contain and attack was also wonderful, Hong Menglong felt that even if Zhou Ming did not complete the hunting task this time, in this mission, Zhou Ming would learn the most in the entire month of hunting, so Hong Menglong decided that even if Zhou Ming and the two could not complete the hunt, he would also help kill the target beast, and count Zhou Ming as completing a task。
As for killing, in fact, the cruel reality is that since Zhou Ming chose to be a hunter, he will have to face this problem sooner or later, at this point, the only difference between hunters and mercenaries is that the purpose of mercenaries is to kill, while hunters often only do it when they are forced to do it.
Zhou Ming kept trying to take a deep breath as he walked on the road, and in order to calm his mind, he kept reminding himself that there were still six people waiting for rescue in the dark mine ahead. Zhou Ming was really guilty, and kept secretly scolding himself for being incompetent, he wanted to find a powerful hunter to rescue the six miners as soon as possible, but his kindness had the opposite effect, and he was delayed on the road for so long in vain.
"Silver Armor Boy, are you okay, if you fight with the beast for a while, can you still fire that little hand crossbow again?" Zhou Ming lowered his head and walked forward, repeatedly estimating in his heart whether he could save the six miners in his current state, and finally came to the conclusion that with his own strength alone, the probability of failure was almost 100%, and the strength of his sword would definitely be greatly reduced because of the trembling of his hands, and more importantly, the trembling of his hands would cause him to not be able to use the Baisha style at all, this was Zhou Ming's biggest reliance in the cross-level battle, losing this advantage, Zhou Ming was actually not much stronger than other hunters of the same level. As for his other big reliance on the "Tricky Moon" body method, Zhou Ming doesn't guarantee how long he can last, every step of the tricky moon body method is very exquisite, which is a big test for the user's reaction ability, but Zhou Ming is still constantly thinking about the previous scene in his mind, and he can't concentrate on performing the tricky moon at all, so his current tricky moon body method is in a state where he may be interrupted at any time in the next second......
However, after thinking about it repeatedly, Zhou Ming was not completely without gain, he suddenly remembered the silver armored boy's precious hand crossbow, the power of that thing was comparable to Hong Menglong's casual blow in the Silver Moon Forest, don't look at it as a casual blow, even the fierce beasts of the upper one or two stars can't parry, if the silver armored boy can come again, the two of them can easily solve the fierce beast from a long distance, and all the problems will be solved?
"That, that," the silver-armored young man was startled by Zhou Ming, it seemed that he hadn't completely calmed down the fear in his heart, "The crossbow can be fired, but my hand can't be lifted anymore." ”
Hearing him say this, Zhou Ming noticed that the silver armored boy's right hand had been hanging weakly at his side, it seemed that although the crossbow arrow was terrifying, the reaction force was also not something that they could withstand as a lower hunter, that thing was probably the means given to him by the silver armored young man's family to save his life in a life and death crisis, after all, an arm injury is a matter of recuperation for two days, which is better than death.
"Alas, then use the crossbow from before, as long as we can interfere with the actions of that beast, we are not completely without a chance, the worst thing is that I lure that beast away from the mine, you take the opportunity to save those miners, I will find a way to run away." Zhou Ming muttered to himself that there was no way to do it, with the strength of the two of them, it was still a little reluctant to deal with the fierce beasts of the lower three stars, and it was basically pure wishful thinking to survive under the fierce beasts of the lower three stars alone.
Silent for a while, the two of them didn't have a good way, so they just cared about hurrying away, and unconsciously, the two of them who had walked far away, the shrubs and weeds on both sides suddenly disappeared, revealing an empty construction site, and the black coal mine piled up into a hill not far away became the most conspicuous street sign, proving that at least the bald head had done a good thing - the road he pointed out was still correct, and the mine that was broken into by the fierce beast was now in front of Zhou Ming and the young man in silver armor.
