Chapter 38: The Dark Dungeon Refines People's Hearts (Part II)

"It's Dismas!" From the familiar burst of single-barreled gunpowder pistols, Renard could clearly identify that it was his companion Dismas who shot at the front of his car. In addition, there were several other unfamiliar and rough voices in between, which continued to sound and then quickly disappeared after a few gunshots.

"Dismas, are you alright?!" Reynard wasn't worried that his companion would be able to cope with it, because there was no hint of the two of them entering the battle just now, so it wasn't a battle involving professionals. The concealment of the gods led to the rapid end of the war, and each race was silently recuperating in its original place. The conflict between non-professionals is not called a fight, it can only be called a fight, only the battle between professionals is recognized by the gods, and there is something to gain, because both of them have been taught special skills by the gods, there is a huge gap between ordinary people and professionals, there is no comparison, and there is no possibility of overstepping the level of attack, otherwise the empire would have been chaotic long ago.

Therefore, although Renard heard the gunshot, he did not get a warning of the battle, so he did not worry about the safety of his companions, and it seems that the person who attacked the carriage just now was not a professional among the robbers.

"It's just a few little thieves, and they haven't awakened any of their skills, so they learn to come out and rob others, and when they meet me, it's like delivering food. Dismas's voice came from the nearby woods with a sigh. His man had come out from behind the trees, gunpowder pistol in a holster at his waist, and his hand was wiping a dagger that was stained with scarlet blood and dripping down the edge.

Renard lowered his body and turned out the packages of the two people from the carriage, identified them, threw one of them to Dismas, and came to the front of the carriage to look at the two healthy horses lying on the ground wailing, and shook his head, "The horse is not working, the leg is broken, I can't run, I can't save it, my internal organs are bleeding, I can't do anything." ”

The healthy horse spat blood foaming from his mouth, and large pieces of blood spurted out of the horse's mouth and splashed on the ground, which was a puddle of blood that could not be dissolved.

"Give them a treat. Dismas took the package and threw it on his back, looking up at the sky, "It will be dark in a while, we must hurry up and get to the town, otherwise we don't know what strange things will come out at night, there are many strange things in the crow's collar, and it is said that there are thousands of professionals and adventurers who have died here." ”

Renard nodded, fell to one knee on the ground, stretched out his right hand with a chained glove to his painful eyes, and muttered, "Gracious Father, please exercise your kindness to me and hear my prayers." Please allow these two poor souls before me to return to your arms, and I will exalt and proclaim your mercy and holy name in the world. With that, Renard drew the steel sword hanging from his waist in his left hand, and slashed the horse's neck, and the horse twitched on the ground a few times before it was silent.

Seeing that Renard had dealt with two seriously injured horses in this way, Dishmas couldn't help but laugh and said, "Renard, you are really a devout believer. It's just that you stole the horses and the wagon, right? Why are you so embarrassed to let them go back to your Heavenly Father?"

Renard had just finished praying, and his face still showed a holy glow, "It is I who is guilty of stealing, and it has nothing to do with the poor horses." When I die, Heavenly Father will naturally judge me justly for my sins. ”

A loud whistle rang out from Dismas's mouth, "Whatever you want." I looked at the road, and it was better for us not to follow the main road any longer, but to follow the hillside, through the woods, and directly to the town below, so that the time was the shortest and the fastest. ”

Renard glanced at where the town was, nodded, and closed the helmet mask on his head.

"Your steel sword has a wide range of attacks, and your armor is not afraid of thorns, so you can clear the way ahead." ”

Renard was in full body armor, and his speech seemed a little muffled, but he could still hear it, "It's okay for me to open the way, you are on high alert, and you have to inform me in advance of any danger." ”

"No problem. The two men left the scene of a crippled crash, leaving behind a broken wagon, dead horses, and trees lying in the middle of the road, and disappeared into the next hillside.

Pushing aside the bushes blocking the road, several corpses were scattered within a distance of ten meters nearby, some with gunshot wounds, some with knife wounds, all of which were fatal with one blow, and Renard understood that these were the thieves who had just ambushed the carriage.

The two of them walked and stopped in the bushes, and from time to time some dry bones appeared on the side of the road, these were poor travelers, and after being robbed and killed, only a pile of wreckage was left. But deep in the woods there are faint graves and tombstones, those that have come here for exploration and adventure in the past, expecting to discover the treasure buried deep in the crow's territory, but leaving their lives here forever.

Renard and Dismas stood and watched from a distance, but did not dare to go over, because as soon as it was dark, there would be skeletons coming out of the grave and wandering around, these fleshless guys have a strong attack defense against weapons, and ordinary people are basically the result of waiting for death. Renard and Dishmas were both professionals, but they had come to Raven Realm to seek an opportunity for the Count's succession, rather than squandering their blood and lives in a pointless battle with these bones.

"Reynard, can you tell us about your attributes and skills, and if we encounter a fight, we can quickly develop an effective battle plan. It's getting dark, and the brightness is getting dimmer, which is not good for us. Dismas's voice appeared in the back.

Renard smiled, the two of them are both descendants of the Hamlet family, and they are both professionals, and they happened to meet on the way to the territory, and they had a little conversation. Blessed by the gods, each profession has its own unique qualities, which are their own secrets. But the attributes are different, and whenever you enter a battle, your companions on the same side can see each other's attributes, and there is no way to hide this.

Why? Because every companion is a rare teammate, and only by working together can we win the battle, do you want to be lazy? Sorry, then the result is likely to be a team annihilation, not only the companion, but also your own life will be lost. This is a fair rule set by the gods, and no one can avoid it, so every real battle of the professional is to go all out, and companions must understand and trust each other when fighting, so many adventure teams have fixed members, and they have an irreplaceable trust between them.

"I am a crusader baptized by the Father. It's just a simple 'Seeker' level, but I'm sure you'll soon become a novice. The three-finger-wide steel sword in Renard's hand sliced through the bushes in front of him, opening a narrow passageway.

"Oh, too, it is said that class upgrades require killing professions of different faiths or other species. I'm also at the 'Seeker' level. "Disney's laughter sounded a bit like a night owl in the woods.

"When I entered the fight, max health: 33. Weapons and armor are both level 1, base speed: 1. Renard said lightly in front.

"I only have a maximum life of 23, and the gun, short knife, and clothes are also level 1, and the base speed: 5. "The two of them have a tacit understanding of their basic attributes, which can be seen by each other in the battle, and the characteristics of these things that add basic attributes, no one will say, that is the deepest secret of every professional, related to their own life and death.

The world has its own unique rules, which must be followed in all battles, the most obvious of which is the level value. As long as you are a professional, no matter what clothes you usually wear, what you dress, no matter how tall or short you are, as soon as you enter the battle, then, you will be labeled as the class, whether it is weapons, armor, or class level, it is calculated according to the level, and the health will be displayed to both the enemy and the enemy. If you run out of health, sorry, then you're really dead. Therefore, if you are not careful, you will end up in life and death, and generally there will be no real battle between professionals unless it is necessary.

"Be careful! there's a trap ahead!" Dismasas said, causing Renard's nerves to tense up.

I saw Dismas quietly walk to a low grass, squat down, stretch out his hand and slowly grope inside, and after a while, he took a breath. "It's a simple prey trap, it seems that there are robber professionals in front of us, fortunately it is within my dismantling range, you need to be vigilant!"

"Hmm~" Renard trusted Dismas's judgment, after all, this companion had a career of robbery for many years, and should be familiar with these tricks.

The two of them moved cautiously, and their speed suddenly slowed down.

Dismas reached out and gently patted Renard's left shoulder three times from behind, and Renard immediately stopped, this is the code they agreed before, "The enemy has been found, prepare for battle!"

Sure enough, as Dismas suddenly raised his hand and shot at a tree, there was a "bang", and an embarrassed man fell from the tree.

Suddenly, an inexplicable light fell from the sky, quickly turning the vicinity of the three of them into a small battlefield, "The battle is on~"

With the long-awaited unknown voice, Renard took the lead in the first position on the battlefield, with Dishmas behind him. Opposite the two was a man in leather armor, holding a double blade, wearing a face scarf on his face, and only one pair of eyes were exposed.

A faint beam of light shone on Dismas's body, and Renard knew that the companion had made a move, and thought, "Sure enough, a professional bandit with a speed of 5 is different, strike first, and we will definitely win!" Looking at the mysterious opponent with the number 12 on his head on the opposite side, Renard's heart settled. His own 33 life, Dismas's 23 life, can kill the other party no matter what, it depends on whether the other party strikes first or himself first. If he had struck first, the battle would probably have ended without injury.

Sure enough, Dismas, with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, stuck out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips. Suddenly, a phantom flashed from Dismas, and he pounced on the opponent with an arrow step, and with the other party's wail, a big figure 5 popped out of his head.

"I used the skill 'Slice Blood Vessels' to reduce his bleeding resistance and speed, but it's a bit of a pity that it didn't cause bleeding damage, otherwise I would have lost his life every turn. Dishmas said a little regretfully after the attack.

At this moment, the mysterious enemy on the opposite side also showed his number one, "Bandit Throat Cutter", life 7/12.

A faint light shone on Renard's head at this moment, and it was Renard's turn to make a move.

Renard smiled, "It's okay, I have the secret skill of the Crusaders. As soon as he said this, a phantom figure came out of Renard's body, also wearing armor and carrying a steel sword. The phantom raised his hand and lifted the steel sword upside down, and the hilt of the sword struck the head of the bandit throat cutter on the opposite side, and suddenly a golden light shrouded the head of the throat cutter, and at the same time a number 2 floated up, 5/12.

"Okay! He's stunned! I didn't think you'd have mastered the 'vertigo' skill, that's good, it's up to me next!" Dismas said with a smile.

Sure enough, the golden light on the head of the "Bandit Throat Cutter" disappeared, and the faint light fell back on Dismas, and he was forced to give up the opportunity to shoot because of vertigo, and the fight came to the second round.

This time, Dishmas didn't give his opponent another chance, and used another 'slicing vessel', which immediately took away the last bit of life of the enemy.

"Look, that's the strength of our cooperation~ perfect fight!" Dismas said. "The battle is over" The unknown voice sounded again, and a ball of light lit up from the opponent.

"There's still something to take?!Yes, it's a surprise!" Dismasas was already poor, and immediately rushed out to touch the light, and suddenly the sound of coins fell into everyone's package, "Each person got 125 gold coins, a good income." ”

Renard nodded, this is the rule of the gods, digital professional combat, skill-based, attribute-based friend and foe characteristics, concise and easy to understand, but also dangerous, fortunately, the monetary benefits are evenly divided, these are the rules that must be followed. In addition to the cute gold coins, it is still safer to have a companion, and it seems that this Dishmas is not an unreliable companion, which is worth looking forward to.

After the battle, the two continued on their way, and the town was already not far away, when they found a dilapidated camp nearby, which seemed to be left over from the camp of adventurers a long time ago.

"Let's go, go over and have a look~" Dismas suggested.

With the cooperation just now, Renard is also very satisfied with the strength of Disneymas, and the other party does not seem to be a reckless person.

A few improvised bamboo poles support a dilapidated tent. The tent looked like it was about to collapse, surrounded by several wooden boxes and pockets, which had long been empty.

"Hell, someone else may have taken the lead, I'll go into the tent and take a look~" Dismas was unwilling to return empty-handed, and got into the dark tent, and there was a sound of things turning inside.

"Ding Dong~" Some coins fell into the pockets of the two of them in the hint, and Renard was immediately happy, he didn't expect that Dismas's exploration skill level was so high, and he could find the belongings left by others in such a dilapidated camp, and he was really lucky today. It seems that he can go to the town below the mountain to drink a glass of strong ale, order a delicious meal, and get a good night's sleep tonight.

Dishmas came out with excitement, and Renard heard a strange sound, and his years of experience in receiving hard training in the Holy See made his nerves react quickly, and he grabbed Dismash by the collar, and the two of them threw themselves on the ground.

I only heard two pops above my head, and suddenly the tent broke two big holes, and the tent that had long been rotten collapsed suddenly, and at this moment the sound of "battle opened~" came in the ears of the two, and sure enough, everyone was ambushed! This is a trap!

The rules of the world allow both sides to appear on the battlefield and see each other clearly. On the opposite side was a giant man with scars all over his body, holding a short steel rod in one hand, and several iron chains on the head of the steel rod, each of which was locked with a walnut-sized steel ball, which was covered with spikes, and it was not a weapon to be messed with. The giant man held a short gun in his other hand, and behind the giant man was a short figure, holding a gunpowder spear and a face scarf.

The giant man smiled fiercely, and when the two of them saw the numbers of 35/35 and 12/12 on each other's heads, their hearts sank, the strength of the two sides was close, and their side was caught off guard again, it will be a vicious battle!

The giant man has a whip and a spear, and it seems that he can attack from close range or from a distance, while the dwarf with a gunpowder spear seems to be good at attacking from a distance. Fortunately, the glory of the Heavenly Father still favored the two of them, and it was still Dishmas who shot first.

"I don't have the skills to hit the enemy in the back, it's up to you. Renard said.

Dismas understood the power of the musketeer, and whispered, "Okay, you are responsible for stunning the strong man and attracting the attack, and I will concentrate on killing the musketeer first, and then attack the strong man together." After saying that, he raised the musket in his hand and aimed at the musketeer to strike!

A big 5 appears on the head of the musketeer, 'bandit musketeer', 7/12.

The 'Bandit Musketeer' was also very fast, and shot quickly after Dismas, but he was wounded in this shot, 31/33, 21/23, both of them were wounded.

Reynard used 'Stun' to stun the giant as agreed, and Dismas concentrated his firepower to take out the 'Bandit Musketeer' first. The giant's name is 'Bandit Flogger', and after being stunned once, his stun resistance immediately increases, causing Renard to fail to use 'Stun' in the second round, and with a gunshot, Renard loses 9 health, 22/33, Dismas, 21/23.

The battle continued, no one flinched, and the two of them came to their health at 20/33 and 18/23, and Dishmas finally eliminated the 'Bandit Musketeer', and the two worked together to deal with the 'Bandit Whipper'.

Two to one, are professionals are naturally much more handy, the warrior in the third round finally stunned the giant again, Dismasus's 'cut blood vessels' hit the giant man twice in a row, and all hung up the bleeding effect, now the giant's life is 13/35, 4 points of bleeding per round, -2 speed.

Renard didn't want to waste any more time, so he directly gave a 'punishment', and a big 12 fluttered on the head of the 'bandit whipper', 1/35, when it was the turn of the giant man to act, he bled to death on his own, and the battle was won.

After packing up the loot, the two glanced at each other, let out a long breath, there was nothing to replenish life in the package, and quickly left here, it seems that the Raven Territory is really a place that is facing death at any time.
