Chapter 33: The gerbil attack
Early in the morning, Caleb opened his eyes and used the insect vision to observe the scattered insect vision, and found nothing abnormal, Caleb sat up and shook Ena who was sleeping beside him.
"Brother, good morning, ha-"
Ena got up with sleepy eyes and leaned over to Caleb and rubbed him, wanting him to touch her.
Caleb rubbed Ena's face to make her wake up quickly, and only when she didn't wake up did Ena show animal habits, which was manifested as being spoiled by people in the form of animals, rubbing people with her face.
"Hurry up, little lazy."
Caleb looked at Ena, who was about to fall asleep under his own touch, and woke her up again.
"Hmm~ Wake up, wake up, brother, don't shake."
Ena was so shaken by Caleb that she could only open her eyes and bite Caleb's arm angrily.
"Hurry up, little lazy worm, it's not just the two of us today, you can go whenever you want.
Others are still waiting for us, can't let people wait for a long time, you know, it's rude. ”
Caleb flicked Ena's nose, freed his arm from Ena's mouth, took out Enna's special cleaning tools, and handed it to her.
"Hurry up and wash up."
"Hmm~ Brother help me wash it, ah~"
Ena opened her mouth wide and waited for Caleb to brush her teeth, Caleb had done a few times before when he made the toothbrush, but this time Caleb would not let Ena get her wish.
"Say something stupid, wash yourself."
Caleb put a wet towel over Ena's face, wiped it carefully, and handed her a glass of lightly salted water.
"Okay, don't open your mouth, the water is brought to you, take it and brush it yourself.
Well, after eating so much sugar, you have to brush your teeth well so that you won't get tooth decay, you know? ”
Ena, who had been open for a while, didn't wait for Caleb's help, and pouted and picked up the toothbrush.
"Hmph, my brother doesn't love me anymore."
'This little girl, where did you learn the words, or do all women fail to do this? ’
Caleb shook his head, feeling a little headache, and Ena had been getting more and more clingy to him lately.
Seeing that Ena had finished washing, Caleb helped Ena straighten her cloak, and the two walked out of the tent.
The sun had just risen, and Les and they didn't seem to be awake yet, Caleb took Ena and began to squat and stride, 30 minutes of horse walking, to warm up his body, Caleb and Ena began to practice against each other.
Caleb and Ena were used to this type of exercise, and the two would fight once a day in the morning, without fighting spirit and magic, just fists and kicks.
The members of the Rice adventure group, except for Les, who was drunk by Caleb last night, have also woken up one after another.
Leo, the thief who was the first to discover Caleb yesterday, opened his eyes, he rubbed his eyes and lifted the tent, only to see his own group gathered together and seemed to be looking at something.
"What's the matter, is there anything to see?"
Curious, Leo walked over to the back of the group and stuck his head out to see what it was.
"What are you looking at?"
One of the members turned around and pointed in Caleb's direction.
"Shhhh
Leo looked in the direction of his finger, the two of them were fighting fiercely, the man was steady and fast, the woman was dexterous but furious, and he didn't spare his hand at all, and the move was aimed at the opponent's vital point, Leo's eyes widened.
"Is this an infighting, so ruthless."
"I don't know, I got up and saw them beating ....."
"They hadn't started fighting when I got up, and they were doing a weird position, like this."
A member of the group put on a horse-step posture, but he had not practiced his center of gravity and fell backwards directly.
"Oh, weird? How do they maintain their balance? ”
No one answered him, the big guys were attracted by the sparring of Caleb and Ena, they had never seen such a strong fighting technique, the fighting techniques they knew were some straight punches, hooks, straight kicks, horizontal kicks and so on.
Like Caleb and Ena, there are deadly killer moves hidden in the defense, and once they seize the opportunity, they will hit the key point with one blow, which really opened their eyes.
Caleb turned his palm to block Ena's punch to the heart, and raised his right foot to block Ena's left foot to provoke his foot.
The right foot was inserted between Ena's feet, and the right elbow beckoned to Ena's face, which was supposed to be stepped on Ena's feet to prevent Ena from escaping, but the practice didn't have to be like this.
With the advantage of her height, Ena shrank into Caleb's arms, shook her fists, and slammed into Caleb's stomach.
Caleb slid back with his right foot, raised his left foot, and resisted Ena's close body, and his hands fell to knock off Ena's fist, and his hand was thrown at Ena's little face like a long whip, if this move was solid, Ena's face would definitely be swollen, but Caleb didn't spare his hand at all.
Ena also knew the danger, but she had seen this trick, and the big tree that Caleb used to test the move was scraped off a layer of bark by Caleb, and hurriedly rolled backwards to avoid Caleb's move.
After standing firmly, Ena stepped with her left foot, as if she was stepping on the ground, and as if walking out of thin air, she actually made an empty step at a height of one centimeter above the ground, like teleporting, Ena teleported forward half a step out of thin air, and her right fist exploded like a cannonball.
"Low-Altitude Step, Half-Step Cannon"
Caleb smiled on his face, this is a move that Caleb studied together with the knowledge of his previous life and Ena, Ena couldn't use it before, but now that he has finally learned it, Caleb also took a pose and punched Ena with the same move.
Bump –
There was a loud crash of flesh, and Caleb and Ena separated, tied.
Caleb and Ena clasped their fists and bowed to each other, and the practice was over.
Two Millets flew out of Caleb and began to heal the fists that had broken during their final blow.
Ena ignored the wound on her hand, her face faded from the tense look of the fight, and with a look of joy, she ran to Caleb, and hung on Caleb with a jump.
"Brother, I succeeded, I played it, this move is so strong."
"Yes, yes, you're the strongest, come down, everyone else is watching."
Ena didn't care, she buried herself in Caleb's arms, greedily inhaled Caleb's breath, and said sullenly:
"Then just let them see it, Ena doesn't care."
Caleb touched Ena's little head under her cloak and flattened the ear, which was about to stand up.
The Les adventure group in the distance saw the intimate appearance of the two, and they could be regarded as understanding.
"So they're sparring? This is too ruthless, if you accidentally get hit, you will definitely be seriously injured. ”
"Yes, if I get on, I will be knocked to the ground by one of them before I make a move."
"What level of adventurers are these two, I don't think we can beat them together."
"Without them, even one person can't beat them, their strength is too strong."
The members of the Rice Adventure Party gathered together to discuss fiercely, Leo looked at Caleb with bright eyes, he knew from Ena's outfit that she was a thief, he never thought that thieves could fight like this.
Most of Leo's training as thieves was in sneak attacks, drug making, crossbows, traps, and reconnaissance, and he had never seen such violent and fierce battles as Caleb and Ena.
His heart pounded, and he substituted himself into a member of the battle, imagining that he could master this martial art, and the blood in his whole body seemed to boil.
He imitated the moves of Caleb and Ena just now, but he couldn't do them at all after just one glance, his body couldn't hold his balance, and he fell to the ground in a few blows.
"How they do it, this posture can be used as well."
Leo wanted to ask Caleb for advice, but martial arts were not so easy to obtain, and he and Caleb were not related, so how could he teach himself.
Leo sighed.
"Ah~ my head hurts, huh? How do you get together, is there anything to see? ”
Les, who woke up drunk, walked out of the tent with his headache in his head, and when he saw a group of people gathered together, he couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, Captain, you're missing the show."
"It's just, you don't know, just now..."
The men in the group scrambled to tell Les what they had just seen.
"And this kind of thing, I know that Brother Caleb is not an ordinary person."
Les nodded affirmatively, and he looked in the direction of Caleb, who had already taken off Ena from his body and was preparing breakfast.
Put the eggs in a pan and fry them, add the bacon, ham.
Slice the bread, put the fried food in, cut two tomatoes, drizzle with homemade mayonnaise, ketchup, and cover the bread, and a simple breakfast is ready, Caleb takes out two glasses of milk.
"Alright, eat it, Ena, the meat is double."
Caleb gave her Ena's portion, picked up a breakfast and ate it himself.
"Hmmm! Delicious! ”
Ena eats with sauce all over her face, and she loves not only sweets, but also meat.
Gro walked up to him, smiling all over his face.
"Mr. Caleb, we'll be ready to leave in half an hour."
Caleb nodded to Gro.
"Ah, okay, Boss Gro, do you want to eat some together."
"No, no, no, I don't like to eat in the morning."
Gro waved his hand and left with an apologetic smile.
Ena frowned with a move of her nose.
"Brother, the smell on Gro's body is heavier than yesterday."
Caleb became alarmed when he heard this.
"What's the matter, is it because you stayed in the carriage last night?"
Ena shook her head and said she didn't know.
Half an hour later, Caleb and the caravan set off again.
Caleb took out his map and looked at it, and after two days of walking through the cliff path, the neighborhood began to become barren, and the trees and grass began to thin.
The group walked for a long time, and Caleb felt a tremor, and Ena lay directly on the ground, one ear pressed against the ground.
'Earthquake? Where did the shaking come from? ’
Caleb noticed something strange in the air, and a batch of bugs appeared on his body.
"Brother, there are a large number of demonic beasts coming here!"
Ena looked up at Caleb and said, her face a little solemn.
"Warcraft? Let's go to the front and meet them first, at least we can't leave them alone. ”
Caleb approached the caravan with Ena, and Les felt the tremors and were shrinking the caravan's range.
"Brother Caleb, a demonic beast is approaching, be careful."
"Ah, it's quite a lot, does Brother Les know what kind of monster it is?"
"There can only be gerbils around here, but judging from the vibration, there are too many of them."
Gerbil? Caleb thought back to his mind, it should be the Warcraft Encyclopedia that is introduced in the Warcraft Encyclopedia, the official name should be the Rock-Eating Beast, and the gerbil should be the name often called by adventurers.
The gerbil is generally about 2 meters in size, some of the strength can grow up to 5 meters, the food is rock, by dissolving the rock to absorb the minerals inside, the condensed minerals on the body are very good weapon forging materials, but also strong armor for defense.
Leo stood on the carriage and looked out, and from the east there was a long stream of yellow smoke spreading towards the caravan, this number made Leo's eyes widen, there were at least two hundred gerbils, he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and shouted to Les:
"Commander, it's gerbils, there are more than two hundred, we can't beat them, run away!"
"How to escape? We can't outrun gerbils, so we'll have to fight them! ”
Les drew his sword, and gerbils had the ability to move at high speed in the sand, and they couldn't outrun them even if they threw everything down.
"Cheer up, there is a tough battle to fight, the magician first unleashes the earthen wall technique, build a line of defense, don't let the gerbil charge approach us!"
Rice's adventure group said that it was not big, but there were at least dozens of people, and there were more than a dozen magicians in it, each of whom mastered the magic of earth wall techniques, and a dozen earth wall techniques rose in front of everyone, and a wall was at least 2 meters thick.
"Brother Caleb, although I really want to say that these magical beasts should be handed over to us, but my team is still too weak, and I still need to ask you to help."
"What did my brother say, if I hadn't helped, I would have run away a long time ago, then I would still be here, and this battle should be counted as the two of us."
Caleb and Ena moved their bodies, ready to meet the attacking beast with Rice, and as for the shivering Gro who was now hiding on the sidelines, he would wait until it was over.
Originally, Caleb thought that Gro did it on purpose in the morning, but now he doesn't look like this.
It can be seen from his eyes that he did not expect this attack, fear and incomprehension, Gro only has these two emotions in his eyes, if Gro can still maintain his acting skills like an actor at this time, then Caleb can only admit it.
After waiting for a few minutes, the figure of the gerbil has appeared, they kicked up a thick yellow smoke and rushed to this side, Caleb is still the first time to see the appearance of the gerbil, it is a bit far-fetched to say that it is a mouse, in Caleb's eyes it is still more like a hedgehog, with a full of spikes on its back.
Squeak –
The gerbil seems to have spotted the caravan a long time ago, and as soon as they saw the caravan, they began to bark, and the sound was very similar to that of rats.
Rice's regiment began to attack, arrows and magic shooting at the gerbils.
Caleb discovers that most of the mages in the Les Adventure Party use earth-based magic, and other types are rare.
Rock spears rose from the ground and pierced through the gerbil's soft belly, and finally the gerbil was mounted on the earthen wall that had been set up in advance.
With a swing of his sword, Les rushed forward with his crew.
"Rush up and don't let the gerbils run again!"
Ena also rushed forward, and Caleb summoned a swarm of bugs to follow her, and Ena was in danger and could still support her in time.
Caleb himself manipulated 10 acid eaters to start his own attack.
