Chapter 38: Adversity

After He Huihong separated from Lin Qi, she was always worried about the envoy at the Gray Crow Sentry.

It's so perverse.

Although Lin Qi raised the name of the Overlord Guild and even the president at that time, the envoy softened too quickly. Although the three guilds have developed very strongly, and since they have returned, they have never been to the Grey Raven Sentry again, and this state of being dark and self-evident has put them in a very passive state.

He Huihong went to Mayor He, and after some discussion, the two agreed that they could not be beaten passively, but they could not take the initiative to attack. There is still a big gap in the strength of the two camps, and the only way to do this is to grasp the enemy's movements before customizing the plan.

Eventually, Mayor He sent a few eyeliners to the Crow Outpost, and there needed to be an early warning mechanism for the envoy's next move.

This initiative has had an unexpected effect. After nightfall, a dark sentry returned injured, and he knelt in front of He Huihong and Mayor He to tell what happened to him.

"We have been ordered to monitor the Grey Raven sentry, and no suspicious persons have entered or left for half a day. But just now, a group of men in black raided the sentry. We were also discovered, and the rest of the brothers died heroically in order to get me back to report the news. ”

"Raid?!"

The mayor was shocked that the development had exceeded their expectations, and he asked with some urgency.

"How many people are there, and what is the situation in the sentry now?"

"The exact number of people is unknown, but there are more than 15 people, at least five of whom are coming at us. They are well-trained and well-coordinated, and we are no match for them.

"I'll take a look!"

He Huihong couldn't sit still for a long time, she had an ominous premonition in her heart, and this premonition had lasted for an afternoon, and it was finally confirmed that she was not a cup bow snake shadow. She was worried that Lin Qi would be affected, so that she would have a bad conscience.

"Wait! Don't be impulsive! You go now, be careful of the trap! This matter is obviously a trap, a trap for the He family and all the adventurers! ”

Mayor He looked at his niece's anxious eyes, and finally sighed.

"Lin Gongzi is my life-saving benefactor, although it is a trap, I have to go. You observe from a distance, if you don't see Lin Gongzi's figure, don't enter the sentry post without permission! Remember to show your face before leaving town. ”

At this time, Lin Qi and Jiang Hong had already run all the way down the Crow Ridge. The whole process went well, and they leaned on the trees on the side of the road, dodging and running. Naturally, he still suffered a certain amount of damage, but it was finally within the range of bearing.

As soon as you run out of the Crow Ridge, it is an open official road. There was no cover here, but it wasn't far from the sentry.

Jiang Hong turned around and looked in the direction of Grey Crow Ridge again, and the pursuers didn't seem to be keeping up. He pulled out a vial of blood and filled up all the lost health.

"Pretty well, Linzi! Are we getting rid of them? ”

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, recalling Jiang Hong's words, and there seemed to be some inspiration flickering.

"What did you say?"

"I said we got rid of the enemy!"

"No, last sentence."

"Pretty well?"

"That's right! It went so well! ”

Lin Qi looked around, and the group of black-clothed killers did not attack again, which was somewhat unexpected by him. Theoretically, there was less cover on the official road, and the road from the foot of the mountain to the sentry was considered the most dangerous section, but they gave up this opportunity.

Recalling the attack just now, the two sides did not engage each other in close combat, and the difference in strength between the two sides was not clear. It stands to reason that the other side has a numerical advantage, and it is time to try it, but they don't seem to want to quickly separate life and death.

(If they don't want to kill us, what do they want to do?) Want me to go back to the sentry? οΌ‰

With this train of thought, Lin Qi pulled Jiang Hong and walked in the direction of Yingjie Town. Sure enough, there were figures flickering in the distant woods on both sides of the official road, gradually surrounding Yingjie Town.

Jiang Hong looked at Lin Qi who suddenly stopped with some puzzlement, he didn't know what happened at the Gray Crow Sentry today, so he naturally couldn't understand what Lin Qi was thinking about now.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't go back to the sentry, this is probably a trap."

Lin Qi quickly told him about the confrontation with the envoy at the gray crow post in the afternoon, and Jiang Hong suddenly realized. Jiang Hong's family is engaged in finance, and he has been exposed to all kinds of intrigues and deceit since he was a child, and his understanding of this matter is more thorough than Lin Qi's.

"That envoy, I guess it's gone. Whatever the reason, his mission failure was a foregone conclusion, and now his superiors should be thinking about how to get him to play light and heat again. If we were to be in the past now, we might be scapegoated for the murder of the envoy. ”

Lin Qi tasted Jiang Hong's thoughts and nodded approvingly.

"It's you! I can think of the sentry feeling that there is a problem with the sentry and I have reached the limit, and I have no idea of the envoy and the level behind it. So how to say? What do we do now? ”

As soon as Jiang Hong was about to speak, the other party attacked.

Four black-clothed men rushed out from the side of the official road in the direction of Yingjie Town and attacked Lin Qi and Jiang Hong.

"Go offline or die!"

Jiang Hong didn't have time to elaborate, and simply roared, but his body had already entered a fighting posture.

"Until you die in battle, you just sleep when you die."

β€œNice!”

The four men approached, and several darts flew at them at the same time.

Ding, ding, ding, ding.

Lin Qi took a step forward, stood on Jiang Hong's right side, and two darts shot down. Jiang Hong's skills couldn't reach this level for the time being, so he directly used his gauntlet to resist in front of him, and he happened to resist the darts, which was also considered lucky.

Very close, Lin Qi saw that the four men in black were all holding long swords. Since he didn't know the level of the NPC, Lin Qi had to go all out.

"You hold on!"

Lin Qi held the horizontal sword in his hand, did not retreat, but advanced, and met the long sword of the man in black on the right. The long sword almost stabbed against Lin Qi's cheek, which was the result of being resisted by the horizontal sword. Lin Qi rushed directly in front of the enemy, and the horizontal knife against the long sword rubbed forward as he rubbed it, and the friction of the blade emitted a tooth-aching metal scream.

Holding the knife in both hands, pressing down on the wrist, the entire blade is reversed instantly. Lin Qi slashed with all his might, and the horizontal knife slashed directly at the opponent's chest. I don't know how much blood the opponent has, Lin Qi swept with a forehand and slashed straight at the opponent's neck.

The enemy's head flew out directly, and although no blood burst out, it still startled Lin Qi. Before, whether it was a beast or a humanoid monster, there would not be any broken limbs, but I didn't expect the NPC to have this new feature after the update.

It was this stunned that Lin Qi's left arm was slashed by another enemy's sword. There was a slight tingling in his left arm, but he could still feel his presence. Lin Qi stabbed him with a knife, but because his body was out of order, he was easily dodged by the other party. Then another sword slashed at Lin Qi's back.

Lin Qi knew that the situation was unfavorable and he could no longer be so passive, so he took a step back and distanced himself. Glancing at the health in the upper left corner, he still had 55% left, while Jiang Hong still had 70%.

(There's still a chance.) οΌ‰

Looking back at the enemy in front of him, Lin Qi adjusted his breathing, but saw that the other party had already attacked, and it seemed that he didn't want to give himself a chance to adjust. But this was exactly what Lin Qi wanted, and he also wanted to fight quickly, and the enemy just happened to send him to the door. If he engages in guerrilla or pure defense, it will make Lin Qi passive, because Jiang Hong is still waiting for his assistance.

The man in black swung his sword, and Lin Qi raised his hand to parry. However, the man in black temporarily changed his trick and changed it to a stab, intending to pierce Lin Qi.

Lin Qi has been able to easily see through this kind of feint, and the coping plan is also very proficient. He bowed and swept his hand at the same time, the blade slashing through his opponent's waist and abdomen, and his own left arm was also slashed by the blade.

"My ......"

The man in black was hit by this sweep and had lost his combat effectiveness, but he still tried hard to stab Lin Qi. And how could Lin Qi let him succeed, and directly cut off the opponent's arm with a backhand. Hit back and slash directly, and cut off the opponent's neck.

(There are still 50% lives, and the damage just now is fine, but my skills still need to be improved!) οΌ‰

glanced at Jiang Hong's life, there was still 55% left, fortunately, the time was in time.

Lin Qi rushed to Jiang Hong's side, and did not forget to remind him in advance and shouted.

"I'm coming! Quick! ”

Jiang Hong was besieged by two people for a long time, and he was already full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and when he heard Lin Qi shouting, his spirits were lifted. Moreover, Lin Qi's shouting also affected the two black-clothed people in front of Jiang Hong, who turned their heads to look at Lin Qi, as if they couldn't believe that Lin Qi could actually fight back.

Jiang Hong was distracted when he saw his opponent, and knew that his opportunity to counterattack had come. His armours were erected in front of him, and the whole person rushed directly towards the enemy on the left in front of him. His move greatly surprised the other party, and the man in black was directly knocked out by Jiang Hong and fell directly to the ground.

As soon as the attention of the remaining man in black shifted from Lin Qi's body to his teammates behind him, he was attacked by Jiang Hong and Lin Qi together. Jiang Hong was right behind him, and smashed his backhand fist into the back of his head, while Lin Qi slashed at his head with a powerful move, slashing at his head from top to bottom.

In desperation, the man in black had to pounce to the side, trying to dodge the attack of the two. Surprisingly, Lin Qi flipped his hand, changed the vertical split to a horizontal slash to a backhand sweep, and just happened to be one left and one right with Jiang Hong, sandwiching him in the middle. As a result, his chest directly met Lin Qi's horizontal knife and slashed directly to the ground.

"You mend the knife, I'll get another one."

Lin Qi explained, and then rushed towards the last man in black. As soon as the man in black got up, seeing that Lin Qi was already close in front of him, he knew that he couldn't escape, so he planned to burn the jade and rush directly towards Lin Qi. Lin Qi had already mastered the strength of these enemies, and no longer had any worries, and directly released his special move.

Flash Crack Wind Break!

The continuous slashes were like a storm, engulfing along with the spurs of the man in black, instantly leaving several fatal wounds on the enemy's body. The man in black only felt a flower in front of him, and he fell directly to the ground and died.

"Whew! I've got it! ”

Jiang Hong turned around with some gasp, the cheeks of the enemy under his feet had been hammered. While drinking the blood vial, Jiang Hong checked the enemy's face, and sure enough, it was a mass-produced NPC, and his appearance was exactly the same.

Lin Qi tried to pick up the corpse, but found that although the NPC's corpse was still on the ground, there were no weapons and props left there, let alone money.

"This game is so picky, there is no loot at all, and it doesn't even give experience. Is this what the saying goes, a man dies like a lamp goes out? ”

Lin Qi sighed, this battle was really thrilling. If the enemy knows more about himself, and the three of them besiege him, the outcome is unknown, and it seems that next time he will bring a few more blood vials on his body.

"Bang Bang Bang"

There was a sudden sound of clapping in the distance, and the two of them were startled and quickly turned to look.

It was a middle-aged man in black soft armor holding a spear, and there were more than a dozen people in black standing behind him. A group of people slowly walked to a short distance in front of them.

"Admire, admire, your two combat power far exceeds estimates. The Sprinkle family doesn't want to make a big move, so you go to the sentry with me, and I won't do anything to you, how about it? ”

Lin Qi looked at the middle-aged man, he naturally didn't know the other party, but he could see that it was a BOSS-level NPC.

"Who are you? Talking to grandpa like this? ”

Jiang Hong said provocatively, the big deal is death, and the death punishment can come back after the death punishment, he will not act according to the orders of the NPC.

When the middle-aged man heard Jiang Hong's provocation, his eyebrows tufted and his face showed displeasure.

"The Sprinkle family will give you two another chance, don't know what to do! Otherwise! ”。

A crisp and pleasant female voice came from behind Lin Qi.

"How else?"
