Chapter Ninety-Four: The Loser's Alchemist
Blackbeard didn't choose El as a sneak target because he had a head-to-head battle with El and knew that this young man, although he didn't look very remarkable, was a ruthless and tough character, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to become a general. And this guy is very vigilant, if you rashly attack him, you will fall into a bitter battle if you are not careful.
Relatively speaking, the girl who followed him looked much weaker, although the woman who dared to come out and show her head in these years should not be underestimated, but this girl was obviously a think-tank type who relied on her brain power to give advice. Blackbeard secretly watched her performance along the way, and found that she didn't show particularly good combat reflexes, and the only means she had to rely on to fight against demonic harassment was to throw an incendiary potion.
Born and raised in the brown hills, Blackbeard certainly didn't know the meaning of "alchemist", but he knew the black-red burning potion. It was a blazing gel, a similar alchemical product that could often be found in the smuggled goods of Thomas the gold pointer, and was usually used to mine underground ore veins and occasionally to make assassination traps, with the advantage of burning efficiently and the disadvantage of being painfully expensive.
But anything that has something to do with alchemy, whether it is really technical or not, the price will be speculated to the sky. Even in the list of smuggled goods in the gold hand, the price of this thing is prohibitive. In terms of the outcome of the battle, the fiery glue thrown by Lolana did indeed cause great damage to the demons, but in Blackbeard's opinion, it was an absolute loser's waste.
If the fiery gel she threw was converted into gold coins, it would be enough to hire hundreds of hard-working men in the brown hills, and the killing efficiency would definitely be a hundred times better than that of a little girl.
Of course, the actual situation must not be so simple to convert, if the problem can be solved by relying on the tactics of the sea of people alone, the robber kings of the past generations have already bulldozed the ruins of this ancient city-state I don't know how many times. Even if these fierce robbers carefully selected by Roger are now difficult to adapt to in the face of the chaotic laws of the second layer of ruins, the outcome of ordinary people coming in can be imagined.
The way Lorana can follow here and still be alive is really a bit beyond Blackbeard's expectations, but in other aspects, this girl is still an ordinary person who doesn't know how to fight, and she is also a fat sheep with a lot of oil. Maybe her smart head can quickly sort out the situation, but at this time, in the end, she still has to rely on strong force to fight.
Seeing El turn his head in the direction he was hiding, his eyes flashing with a strange blue light, Blackbeard's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that his intentions had been exposed. But despite this, he did not intend to back down, but chose to break out. He held a scimitar in both hands, and drew two intersecting arcs in midair.
The golden scimitar bloomed with dazzling light, and for a moment it bloomed in the darkness, making it impossible to look at it directly. But this is not Blackbeard's real killer move, although the golden scimitar is a magic weapon, but its own flamboyance is not suitable for the robber's unscrupulous style. Like Roger, Blackbeard has his own real weapon, the black scimitar he wears on his body.
Under the cover of the golden-colored sword, the black scimitar turned into a hideous poisonous snake and flowed out against the ground. Blackbeard's knife is not just a weapon, but it actually has the ability to perform voodoo ritual with the slightest thought, and it can perform unstoppable voodoo with the slightest thought.
Blackbeard's plan wasn't to kill Lorana, that would only provoke El's frenzied counterattack. But if he could control the girl with voodoo, he would have the capital to negotiate, and if he did it right, it was not impossible to get El to do the coolie for himself. Manipulating the puppet and then coercing and seducing it is Blackbeard's favorite tactic to play with.
But as Palanti had already learned, how could El repeat the mistakes of the past? As a hunter, the principle is to remember the lesson and never make the same mistake again. When he saw Blackbeard holding the knife in both hands, he knew that this bastard had bad intentions, and his fingers on the bowstring were directly full, and he shot an arrow with all his might, and took out three long arrows with a copy of his hand, and fired a volley without thinking.
Although Lorana's intuition was not as sharp as El's, her mind was flexible enough, and when she saw El's sudden turn and open her bow and arrow, her body had not yet reacted, and the image of Blackbeard had already appeared in her mind, and she further deduced his purpose.
The goal is yourself!
Lorana, who had thought this clearly, didn't waste time looking back, but just took a step forward and hid herself behind El's figure, and at the same time she had two more blue potion test tubes in her hands.
Blackbeard wielded a brilliant sword flower in front of his eyes with his golden scimitar in his hand, trying to block the flying arrows, but at this distance, El's arrows did not give him time to react at all. He only had time to stop the first arrow, which was full of strength, and the golden scimitar collided with the arrow blade, and it suddenly paused, even the whole person with him involuntarily paused, and then three arrows fell directly into his face.
Blackbeard cursed secretly, twisted his body desperately at the last moment, barely avoided an arrow, and bit one in his mouth, but the last arrow flew past his neck, taking away a whole strip of flesh from his neck, and the blood of the arteries suddenly gushed out.
Blackbeard hurriedly withdrew his black scimitar and flung it at the wound on his neck, and the black scimitar spewed out a foul of foul mud that snapped against the wound and miraculously stopped the bleeding. At this time, his body was still rushing forward, and the corner of his eye was peeking at the poisonous snake in the shadows.
Blackbeard's frantic attack attracted all of El's attention, completely unaware of the poisonous snake sneaking in the corner, and at the same time as Blackbeard was hit by the arrow, the unusually flexible poisonous snake also crawled to El's side, but at this moment, there was a sudden crisp sound of "pop" on the ground. El looked down and saw a blue potion test tube shattered at his feet.
The aqua-blue potion burst out of the shattered test tube, and the ground around it was immediately covered with a layer of frost at a speed visible to the naked eye. The poisonous snake controlled by the black scimitar was just about to pounce out of the corner when it was frozen into a long popsicle by the cold frost breath.
Feeling the biting chill around him, El subconsciously shivered and looked down at his feet. Luckily, the place where he was standing was not eroded by the frosty aura, and Lolana also held the potion test tube in her other hand, and unhurriedly poured the transparent colorless potion at the feet of the two people. This liquid like clear water doesn't seem to be famous on the surface, but it makes the cold aura around him spread out, as if he is afraid to avoid it.
Although he didn't understand what the tricks were, the magical effects were no less powerful than the magic he had ever seen, and even if he didn't have to think about it, he knew that all the magic that was scattered was a lot of gold coins.
At this moment, El's thoughts were unexpectedly agreed with Blackbeard - this kid is really a loser!
Thinking the same question in his heart, Blackbeard's offensive stance did not shrink in the slightest, and in the blink of an eye he had stepped into the ice-covered ground, and the icy aura on the ice immediately spread to his feet, but he ignored it, still holding the golden scimitar and stabbing El in the chest.
El's reaction was equally slow, and the fifth arrow flew out almost as soon as it hit the bowstring. Although the Dragon's Tooth Bow is not suitable for rapid fire, it is only relatively speaking, and its own pull is strong enough, and it does not need to be full of bowstrings at this distance.
The golden scimitar in Blackbeard's hand was still nearly five meters away from El, and the fifth arrow had already accurately ****ed his eye socket. The force of the arrow sent Blackbeard's head backwards, nearly breaking his spine, but El's face turned serious.
As a hunter, he knows every arrow he has in his hands. With the current distance between Blackbeard and him, it happened to be the most embarrassing area for hunters, long-range bows and arrows could not exert their power, melee weapons could not be close to hand-to-hand combat, and even the fifth arrow he had just now did not give too much expectation, just tentatively contained.
But this arrow actually hit the target?
If it were someone else, El might have believed it, but who was his enemy now? Blackbeard, the robber king who had roamed the brown hills for decades! That cunning bastard would die so easily?
After seeing Blackbeard in front of him get an arrow, the skin on his face suddenly began to twist and shrink, becoming wrinkled and dehydrated like a shriveled orange. It didn't take any longer to know that the thing in front of him must be a stand-in. So where did Blackbeard go?
El was sure that his attention had been on Blackbeard, and only the moment the poisonous snake next to him pounced, he shifted his gaze, just in the blink of an eye, Blackbeard couldn't run away, or since he chose to do it, it was impossible for him to give up so easily.
The icy aura around him has not yet dissipated, and rash attacks will only be frozen like his stand-in, which I believe Blackbeard knows very well what method he will choose to deal with.
El's heart moved, and he suddenly raised his head. Because this underground cavern was so empty, the roof of the cave was a drop of fifty meters from the ground, which made him subconsciously ignore the threat from above.
There was no torch overhead, so it was darkness that he couldn't reach, but the darkness couldn't hinder El's vision, and his eyes glowed blue, taking in everything in mid-air.
As he expected, a humanoid monster was silently falling from mid-air, but when he landed, it was not aimed at El, but towards Lorana, who was hiding behind him.
"You're looking for death!" El turned cold after realizing Blackbeard's true goal. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
