Treasure hunter Zakaruta
————————————
Once upon a time, there was such a martial artist.
Like her other classmates, she cultivates hard every day, hoping that one day, she will be able to become a generation of grandmasters, just like her own master.
She longed for the thrill of smashing a stone with a punch, the pleasure of kicking a tree away.
As long as you keep persevering, you can reach this state.
However, among the same teachers and sisters, she is the least talented.
Since she was a child, she has been ridiculed by the children around her because of her weak constitution.
Because her hometown is a country that advocates martial arts.
In the case of insufficient innate qualifications, her progress is extremely slow, and she is even constantly surpassed by her junior sister.
As a result, her beliefs gradually changed.
She left her homeland and began her adventures in the Duchy of Belmar.
In a big city like Huttonmar, she saw a lot of things she hadn't seen before.
Ten gold coins are enough to replace her tattered gloves with a pair of razor-sharp claws, a hundred gold coins can buy a powerful bag*, and a thousand gold coins can be used to customize your own weapon.
Why do you have to work hard to cultivate an iron fist?
Why do you have to duel in a dignified manner?
Why gamble with your body against an enemy whose strength you don't know how deep you are?
Then, she chose to become one of the many "Street Fighters".
Blind the enemy's eyes with sand, blast open the enemy's chest with *, pierce the enemy's veins with a poisonous needle, and slap the enemy's head with a brick.
Knock your enemies to the ground, then retract their claws that bounce off the ground and hammer them in the cheeks with both fists.
Although, in the eyes of others, this is "cheating", this is despicable behavior, this is the act of a scoundrel.
But to her, these "outsiders' comments" don't matter at all.
As long as you can win.
If you die in battle, even if you retain your so-called dignity, what is the use?
In order to win, it is necessary to do whatever it takes.
This is Street Fighter's greatest credo.
However, these hidden weapons,* are just props after all, they are consumables.
And every time you go out on an adventure, you have to replenish them when you come back.
It takes a lot of money.
Gradually, she grew tired of fighting goblin minotaurs, and instead avoided monster-infested places, leaving her teammates in danger and running deeper into the forest on her own in search of unknown treasures.
In the foothills of the Glen Forest, she accidentally discovered an ancient treasure, and after getting her first pot of gold, she used it to arm herself.
Although, because of her reputation for betraying her teammates, almost no adventurer is willing to team up with her. But this made her more unscrupulous to act alone, looking for valuable items in the battlefield, defeating the monsters that guarded the treasures, and then taking the treasures, earning a lot of money, and then replenishing the "ammunition", and the rest of the money was spent on playing life.
No restraints, no ridicule, such a free and easy life, she sincerely feels happy.
On this day, she rode Magadha to the Heavenly Veil Behemoth.
She knew that this was the stronghold of the GBL Sect. It was a hidden church, and that church was discovering the treasures of antiquity.
She infiltrated the GBL Temple, stole a map, as well as food and water, and made her way to the Polar Day, the armory marked on the map.
She judged that there must be a treasure found from the Heavenly Veil Behemoth that the GBL Sect had hidden for many years.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't find it once, with her stealth skills, as long as she infiltrates the temple many times and steals some dry food, she can continue to act again.
It doesn't matter if they are discovered, just because these believers are not their opponents, even if they can't be beaten, they can still run.
The first time she infiltrated Polar Daylight, she stole a Dornier as a vehicle and stored it in the shadows in case she finally left the Celestial Veil.
Then, she discovered that most of the storage here were replicas of ancient weapons. I can't say that these are worthless, but the shipping is very problematic.
But she didn't give up, and continued to search for what looked like a treasure but wasn't too big.
Until one morning, the heavenly curtain beast let out an earth-shattering roar, and then, as the earth shook and the mountains shook, the heavenly curtain beast rose from the sea to the sky of Arad.
Frightened, she hurriedly wanted to escape from the Heavenly Veil Beast, but before she could take a step, a faint word appeared in her mind.
"Don't! Who are you, why are you talking to me?"
That voice, lingering, breathtaking, and captivating.
And in the end......
"Hehehehe, hahahahaha!!"
For, Lord Lotus!
——————————————
The next morning, I, Danio, Amy, Lilou, Coloe, Nancy, and Lando formed a team, packed enough rations (carried by Coller and Amy), and once again crossed the temple perimeter and the Dryad Forest to the temple gates.
By the way, when we wanted to burn the weeds of the Treant Forest again, we came across a flower that exploded when it encountered flames, which, according to Danior, was called the Chaos Flower and emitted a dizzying pollen that was best cut down because the flowers were concentrated and on the way. But I didn't expect that as soon as I fired a Jack bomb, it triggered a series of explosions of chaotic flowers, just like setting off firecrackers, and the surrounding area instantly burned into a sea of fire, but fortunately, Nancy's telekinetic shield blocked the flames.
The flames burned for a full five minutes, and the sound of the explosion frightened me a lot, so when I saw such a flower in the future, I still handed it over to someone else to cut it off with a move without flames.
Then, after entering the gate, we turned left and climbed to the highest point of the temple, the Polar Day.
We seeped out like a boardwalk on the cliff face, surrounded by ruins of stone pillars and walls forming a forward passage, surrounded by many barricades.
Looking out from between the stone pillars, you can see white clouds drifting by, and it seems that this is indeed the top of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth.
Immediately after stepping into the polar day, the enemy appeared.
It's a few GBL cult believers who appear with a dragon head cannon!
I'm reminded of Barn's words:
"Remember, adventurers, your mission is to go to the polar sun, destroy as many weapons as possible, preferably set the arsenal on fire, and then flee back immediately without lingering. If the enemy comes after him, because there is no weapon, we can deal with it. ”
To put it lightly, I feel confused when I see the dragon cannon, I was on the periphery of the temple before, but I was hit by that laser.
It felt like my body was torn and burned, and I was unconscious for a few seconds, and when I regained consciousness, I was lying on the ground.
It can be said that this dragon cannon, which knocked me out of the psychological shadow.
It's just that there is one thing that I am very happy about.
Because Danio and Kohler worked out the tactics for us.
"When we encounter the dragon cannon, Lando and I will rush over, and you will look for an opportunity to attack from behind. Danio said, "Lando, is it okay?"
"Of course, I'm a genius!"
Kohler nodded approvingly and said, "Nancy, listen to my command and be ready to open your Qi Shield." ”
With that, Danior started the ghost step, his figure flickering, and from time to time he escaped into the void, running forward with a roundabout pace. On the other hand, Lando is directly a three-stage slash - no, a five-stage slash, and suddenly rushes to the nearest dragon head cannon, and when the dragon head cannon is accumulating, a move "Breaking the Army and Ascending the Dragon Strike" cuts off the entire cannon head!
Then, Lando turned to attack the believer, and with his superior swordsmanship, he easily inflicted heavy damage on the believer.
Lando's courageous actions succeeded in attracting the attention of the enemy, and the dragon cannons in the distance turned to Lando!
"Good chance! Jack explodes!"
"Nian Qi Cannon!"
“bazooka!”
First of all, the huge pumpkin head after I charged up hit a dragon cannon, and the dragon head cannon fell apart, and the believers in the back fell to the ground, and then Nancy's telekinetic cannon swept by, hitting a dragon head cannon and the believers at the same time, this time the believers fell first, and the dragon head cannon naturally could not be used; finally, Amy's laser swept through, and another group of enemies also destroyed and died.
Just as the believer I had knocked down got up and took out his throwing knife and was about to throw it, Danio's ghost flashed and cut him in half in an instant...... I'd better stop watching that bloody picture.
Although they are puppets controlled by Rotes, the feeling of killing people, sure enough, I still can't get used to it.
All I have to do is target the faucet cannon, I thought, ignoring the previous bet of boasting about who would kill more in the match with Lando.
With Lando cutting off the last of the dragon cannons that Nancy missed, the group of enemies was completely cleared.
We continued on to a place full of bottles and cans that were more than a man high.
"What's in this bottle?" I was curious, like breaking one to see.
Lando broke a bottle before me, then looked at the fragments of the bottle and said, "This is water......"
Looking at this amount of water, I'm afraid there was nothing in it, but I just received some water when it rained.
"Lando, stop making a fuss, the noise might attract a lot of enemies. Kohler persuaded.
"I know, I know, I'm just curious. ”
Bang dang!
Then, however, there was another sound of bottles falling to the ground and turning into pieces.
"It's not me!" Lando, turning to face us, raised his hands in the air, indicating that he didn't break the bottle this time, and at the same time, there was another "bang"!
"What's going on?" said Kohler to himself.
"Look, someone!" Nancy shouted, pointing to the cans.
I looked closely, and sure enough, there was a thin figure, constantly pushing to the bottle, and then looking down for something.
"It seems to be a female ......" Lando also looked back, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Danio next to him.
"Be careful, there won't be any friends in this place, I'm afraid this girl is also controlled by Lotus. ”
We hid behind the jars and slowly approached, only to hear the girl mutter, "I want to find the treasure and present it to Lord Rotus...... Where's the treasure, where is the treasure......"
Treasure for Lord Rotes?
"It seems that she is indeed controlled by Lotus, but what does Lotus need treasure for?" Lilu was puzzled.
"Shhhhhhh ”
I saw that the girl came to a bottle again, and was about to stretch out her hand to push it, but stopped, and said in a sluggish tone: "No, no, I am here to find treasure, I am here to make a fortune...... I'm going to find the treasure...... Find the treasure ......"
"Treasure? Is she so fond of treasure? But the bottle is full of water. Lando's tone was a little contemptuous.
"I'm going to give the treasure to Lord Rotus!"
"Her voice is somewhat familiar......," Nancy whispered, "I think I've heard ...... before"
Danio stuck out his head to look at the girl, and then said to us, "She is the treasure hunter Zacaruta, a notorious adventurer who abandoned her teammates many times in order to find treasures hidden in the forest, and is now a lone ranger. ”
"No wonder I love to find treasures so much! I have to find treasures when I am controlled by Lotus, and my obsession is really deep. Lando almost burst out laughing.
However, Danio's head sticking out was discovered by Zacharuta, and the bottle we were hiding in was shattered by a brick, so we were completely exposed!
"Who are you? are you here to rob me of my treasure?"
It's miserable!
