Anrui chased Somkin after him out of town.

But the two didn't go too far.

Or rather, with the ability of the businessman Somkin, he couldn't get far.

When An Rui caught up with the other party, the two of them were only a few hundred meters away from the east of the town, stopping at the door of a warehouse slightly to the north.

An Rui was a little surprised.

Because when he came here, Somkin did not run away, but stood there with a smile that belonged to a merchant:

"Mr. Anrui."

"You killed someone, as a lord, and killed the people you were supposed to shelter."

“……”

"And what do you think is the reason for me to do it?"

Anrui flashed forward with anger and punched Somkin in the chest with an impartial punch.

The merchant took two steps back, his demeanor unharmed.

He uses the Merchant's abilities to increase the 'value' of his own defenses while decreasing the 'value' of Anrui's attacks.

So this would have been a fist that would have knocked him half-paralyzed.

It became an ordinary fight between two adults, and it did not threaten his life.

Then buy the impact on your body.

"One punch killed 1/7 of my value, the difference is really big."

Anrui sees it all.

"Why did you make such a stupid choice?" He didn't understand the other party's choice, "A businessman, even staying at the fourth stage of the arts, can't defeat a warrior. ”

As the lord of the town.

An Rui knows Somkin's abilities very well, and if the other party insists on leaving with those people, he will definitely be able to keep the news leaking.

Instead of being directly screenshotted by him as he is now, and leading someone to block the opportunity to escape.

At the same time, An Rui slashed out.

This blow carries the belief of killing, and the power is definitely more threatening than the angry punch just now.

As an elderly businessman, Somkin was simply powerless to dodge.

He used 1/6 of his value to buy the accuracy of An Rui's attack, and used 1/6 of his value to strengthen his defense, and finally bought the power of this attack for 1/6 of his value.

The merchant took three steps back, still unharmed.

But the expression on his face was even more surprising, and Somkin looked at Anrui, who was obviously going to take his life, and actually smiled.

He even said to himself, as if he had pronounced victory:

"An Rui, I'm sure you'll chase me after you when you see me fleeing."

"And if Alain and those people are watching, I probably won't have a chance to kill you with my own hands."

"What nonsense are you talking about......"

At this moment, An Rui felt that his essentia was rapidly weakening, and a strange power began to spread in his body.

"Poison?"

The businessman in front of him was manipulating.

An Rui reacted instantly, and slashed through again.

Nor was there enough value to completely negate the danger of this attack.

He strengthened his defenses and lowered the accuracy of Anrui's attacks.

Then it flew upside down in the impact.

By the time he got up from the ground again, the accumulated value on his body was close to drying.

But in front of Somkin.

An Rui, who had just been able to attack, fell to his knees.

The power in his body seems to be highly poisonous specially designed for the awakened.

As a user of the essentia of life, Anrui not only suffered from the destruction of the body by toxins, but also caused him to quickly enter the critical line of death.

"Huh-"

Looking at the kneeling man in front of him, Somkin, who had succeeded in his plan, shook his head with a smile and said:

"You have a very correct saying, how can I, a businessman, compete with your warrior in combat ability?"

The merchant staggered in the direction of the lord:

"So I've been thinking about it for a long time."

"How can I get rid of you, the tiger who is standing in front of me?"

The merchant came to An Rui with his chest covered, and his expression was quite emotional:

"What an honor."

"A Stage 4 Awakened can take out a Stage 5 Ascender."

Anrui stared at Somkin, who had come to him.

He thought about everything before, and he didn't find out why he would be poisoned:

"There's no way you're going to have a chance to poison me."

A triumphant smile appeared on Somkin's face:

"But I can trade with the people close to you; also conclude that you will prevent us from leaving in the east of the town; I even guessed that you would chase me all the way to here, and give me a hard time. ”

"Your usual precautions are indeed tight, and there are even cautions that do not match your elm head that belongs to a warrior. But I am afraid that there is no way to resist the toxins that work through the combination of food, smell and merchant essentia. ”

"After all, at the end of the day, you're only the fifth stage, not those sixth or seventh stage monsters."

Merchants are also quite weak now.

But it is not a problem to solve the problem of Anrui, who has run out of oil in front of him.

Somkin pulled out the travel pole he had used as a trader. The head of the staff shimmered with a sharp metallic sheen, pointing straight at Anrui's heart.

"If you don't stop me, don't come after me."

"I can still wait with this town for a long time to be buried......

Collapse!

At this moment, a thunderous bowstring sounded.

An arrow flew out, pinning Somkin's arm to the ground in an instant, and the traveling rod flew to the side.

Somkin fell to the ground, clutching his injured arm.

Arrows bring more than simple arrow wounds.

Around the wound, a decaying force made the skin and muscles of the arm gray and broken.

His only remaining value is that he can't do anything other than stabilize his injuries.

And apart from his skills as an Awakened One, he is just an old man.

"Lindsay!"

Somkin's eyes widened with rage.

He turned his head, and the owner of this thunderous bow was naturally only Lindsay, who rushed back in time.

Lindsay stops Somkin from killing Anrui.

He came with a bow and arrows, and his long trek in the wilderness and unexpected encounters in the crater had left his appearance and clothes tattered, covered in dust and blood.

But as she gazed at Somkin, Lindsay's pupils were both tired and resolute.

"Thanks to the plants you provide, I've cultivated crops that can grow in cold environments. So this arrow, it's your arm, not your head. ”

Somkin asked aloud:

"You choose to stand by Anrui's side, like a dead dog waiting to be slaughtered, surviving here?"

Lindsey shook her head:

"I've got a way to deal with the drake, and I'm about to set off."

Somkin didn't believe Lindsay's statement at all, and even had the illusion that the young man in front of him had gone crazy:

"You say you have the power to defeat the monsters of the seventh stage?"

"Don't be stupid, together we can find a way to cross the Black Mountain and put down the bow and arrow in your hand!"

"My explanation is very sincere." Lindsay walked up to Somkin, drew his longbow, and almost put the arrow against the other man's head, "Now, give me the antidote to Uncle Anrui's poison." ”

Somkin, not afraid of the threat of death, did not hesitate to refuse:

"I refuse!"

He made up his mind to die with Anrui.

Since he has no hope of escaping this desperate world, he will trade this despair for An Rui's life.

Jingling!

With a loud sound, a walnut coin engraved with the mark of the double snake was thrown in front of Somkin.

This simple coin does not shine with the golden glow of wealth.

But there is the power of a merchant's skill in it.

At this moment, Somkin was extremely weak.

Although he did not want to, he was powerless to resist the temptation of this coin made by himself.

The merchant succumbs to the power of ego, to the power of trade.

He replied:

"The antidote is in the warehouse, a brown glass bottle."

Lindsay nodded, took the antidote from the warehouse and gave it to Anrui.

Seeing the elaborate plan shattered, the hope of dying with Anrui also ended.

Somkin reluctantly shouted:

"Lindsay, why don't you understand!"

"Do you want us to die with this stupid warrior in this place of stupidity and despair?"

At the same time, An Rui, who had just taken the antidote, took out a small jade balance from his arms.

The poison is highly toxic to the essentia, so that his body is almost exhausted, and he will definitely not be able to raise it in a short time.

But he supported his decrepit body and clasped Lindsay's hands:

"Lindsay, do you really have a way to kill that drake?"

There was a contradictory hope in Anrui's eyes.

Reason told him that Lindsay could not defeat a seventh-stage enemy. But the experience in Montenegro gave him an unrealistic hope for the ability of the young man in front of him.

"yes, I have a way."

Lindsay replied.

Under the effect of the balance of the capital of law, the other two people present heard that this was an honest answer from the heart.

It was at this moment that Lindsay turned her head.

He looked at Somkin with calm eyes, and answered the merchant's previous reluctant question:

"Unfortunately, the Elemental Realm is not a place of despair."

"On this trip, I just found a place where I could live safely."

"Even if the dragon beast enters this world from Black Mountain, it will definitely not be able to harm there."
