Chapter 13: The Boys
Wrong.
Although Lin Zuzu was taken aback by the boy's actions and expressions, there was a certain abnormal sense of disobedience that she cared more about.
The boy looked to be in his early 10s, dressed in shabby clothes similar to the man and patriarch just now, and seemed to be the natives of the area.
She couldn't understand how such a child could have such a sinister look.
What's wrong?
Immediately, the boy's dark eyes and emaciated face made her finally understand—
It's a human child!
Why is he in Nightmare's place of residence?
Lin Zuzu thought and took a step back quietly.
Inside the house, after the girl left, Li Qing continued to ask the patriarch for information about the deceased, and it could be seen that the other party answered very reluctantly, but still maintained basic politeness.
The deceased was the companion of the patriarch, the middle rank of the B rank, and was the second most powerful existence in the nightmare of Rize City besides the patriarch, but he didn't expect to be easily killed by a bullet, and even had his eyes brutally gouged out after his death.
The illusionist's weak flesh has always been a great weakness. As a fellow professional, Ming Qiaoqiao empathizes with this.
"He has only been out a few times recently, and he is also going to buy some necessary supplies for life."
Nightmares have a similar body structure to humans, but they only need one-tenth of the food of humans to survive, and the rest of their energy comes from natural elements, which is why they chose to settle in the Jungle.
"Where do you get your income?" Although Li Qing is not as keen as the girl and Li Qin, he has some common sense and experience.
Sure enough, this question made the patriarch's behavior a little unnatural.
"Ah, once in a while, other people will ask us for a little favor, you know, sir, illusion." She was a little weak when she spoke.
Seeing that Li Qing was about to ask another question, she hurriedly pleaded and said, "Our nightmare is in a corner, just to survive...... So, sir, can you stop here? We don't want the truth. ”
Li Qing has always been thin-skinned and is embarrassed, only to hear Ming Qiaoqiao suddenly shout:
"Who are you talking to?!"
The young "messenger" sensed that the patriarch's mental power had fluctuated severely, and she was using the type of spiritual transmission spell she was best at, "Sound Transmission".
The patriarch barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Let the children in the village not be too naughty." ”
No, it's not! It is impossible for a close-range telepathy to produce such violent mental fluctuations.
She's lying!
Ming Qiaoqiao's thoughts were not over, and in an instant, a huge spiritual power erupted around the "woman" who was still decent and kind just now.
"Vertigo"!
Ming Qiaoqiao quickly pinched out the magic trick, put it on Li Qing's shoulder, and before being affected, he took the young man to teleport out a distance of 100 meters to avoid the blow.
The two of them landed in the woods north of the Nightmare Village.
"She's communicating with an unknown race, the distance may be more than 500 meters, and I can't perceive it without an amplification circle for the time being."
Li Qing saw Lin Zuzu standing in the middle of the two rows of houses, and gave two orders one after another.
"No. 2, the situation has changed, immediately destroy the C-level enchantment, and report the situation to the team at the same time, over."
"You teleport me back there, and then immediately retreat with No. 4 and join No. 2." He must help Ming Qiaoqiao during the spellcasting phase in case something happens.
"What about you?" While asking questions, Ming Qiaoqiao stretched out his hand to strengthen the blessing technique for Li Qing.
"Nightmare is not good at physical skills and fighting, I will evacuate as soon as possible."
Although the full speed that Li Qing was able to use after burning his fighting spirit, although it could not be as fast as teleportation, it was still more than enough compared to these weak nightmares.
Of course, he knew that Ming Qiaoqiao could evacuate with all of them, but that would be more risky.
As long as it is a spell linked to space, it is basically a B-level mid-to-high-level spell, and the "Earth Shrinking Technique" is no exception. The larger and more powerful the teleported object, the more mental power the caster will consume, and the failure rate will increase.
Even if Ming Qiaoqiao, who is in the lower position of the B rank, has outstanding ability, he can't escape the limitations of the technique.
Last time, she forcibly took Lin Zuzu to teleport five times in a row, and she overdrew her mental power, and it took many days to recover.
According to Li Qing's plan, counting the one that had already been used just now, she only needed to use it twice more to retreat to the safe realm, so she still had the spare strength to assist in the battle.
But if the three of them teleport together, the algorithm will be successful, and Ming Qiaoqiao will also lose his ability to protect himself due to excessive mental power consumption.
Once the other party pursues, or the unknown race that communicates with the patriarch attacks...... Ming Qiaoqiao and Liu Ying, who are not in the combat department, cannot withdraw, and he will face a more severe battle situation.
In short, be prepared in any case.
This is the consistent combat style of youth.
***
A few minutes ago, Lin Zuzu noticed that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the vicious boy was staring at her motionlessly.
Her enhanced hearing allowed her to hear the faint sound of footsteps in the rough room, as if the nightmares had all walked to the door of her house, as if they were about to burst out at any moment.
Under the boy's gaze, Lin Zuzu moved backwards towards the patriarch's house while pressing the walkie-talkie to report the situation.
She was about to speak, when a sharp feeling of dizziness hit her, causing her to stagger and barely steady.
Is this a spell?
Although her mental tolerance kept her sane under the "vertigo technique", the constant feeling of vertigo still stirred her brain, almost making it impossible for her to move.
At this time, a killing intent struck with a strong wind, Lin Zuzu took a step back and drew his sword to block, but he still didn't have time to stop this sudden and swift attack. Luckily, she instinctively leaned back, and the sharp blade only scratched her neck shallowly, and a few drops of blood splattered.
This TM is directly asking for my life!
Lin Zuzu was scared into a cold sweat, and the pain in her neck made her sober up a lot in an instant.
She looked in front of her to see the strange boy standing in front of her, now holding a dagger glowing with cold light in his hand.
When the boy saw that the blow had missed, he raised his dagger and stabbed her again.
He's fast.
Lin Zuzu frowned, turned the blade of the knife, and the knife slashed out from the bottom up, blocking the blow with all his might. There was a crisp sound from the hand-to-hand combat, and the boy's strength was not enough, so the dagger came out of his hand and was finally stuck diagonally on the ground not far away.
He grabbed the numb wrist and stared at the girl with resentment.
I didn't take it very seriously, not to mention that he was going to kill me!
But he's just a kid after all......
No, I'm not an adult yet!
Two figures appeared next to the girl with a "swish", it was Li Qing and Ming Qiaoqiao.
"Hold on to the 4th!"
The intelligent Lin Zuzu instantly understood what she was going to do, so he put his arm around Ming Qiaoqiao's shoulder, and the latter quickly pinched the trick and sang in his mouth.
"She can't go!"
The patriarch shouted from the doorway, and a purple spell glowed beside her hand. Seeing this, Li Qing rushed over and put the knife on her neck, but still did not stop the completion of the spell.
A "disrupting spell" headed straight at them.
Ming Qiaoqiao's face changed, and she sped up her chanting.
"Earth Shrinkage" –
Suddenly, Lin Zuzu felt a heavy blow to her abdomen, she was knocked away by a powerful force, and her outstretched hand left Ming Qiaoqiao's shoulder.
- Activate!
Worst!
Ming Qiaoqiao left a surprised expression and disappeared into thin air in an instant.
Falling to the ground, Lin Zuzu felt something pressing on her, and she subconsciously grabbed the "object" and threw it out.
A muffled snort came.
It's the boy!
