Chapter 023 First Kill (1)
It is better to cut off one finger than to injure ten fingers.
Tai Lisuo caught a wind ape and beat it to death.
When the other wind apes heard their companion's roar, they all became angry and cast wind blades towards the side that was locked by Taili.
At the same time, he continued to approach the wind ape that was controlled by the Taili lock.
Taili Lock would certainly not let them merge smoothly, and he kept using control techniques. Because the water mist was interfering with the Wind Ape's vision, they were all entangled by Taili Lock's control techniques.
This time there were even more roaring wind apes, and the roars of all the wind apes merged into one, which frightened Wang Jiu outside the basin.
So Wang Jiu also quietly sneaked into the woods in the basin, but after entering, Wang Jiu didn't know how to find the Taili lock for a while.
It was Tai Lisuo who sensed Wang Jiu coming in and shouted, "Old Wang, I'm fine, don't worry."
Wang Jiu felt relieved, but he did not leave. Instead, he continued to look for the Taili lock based on the direction where the sound came from.
The apes roared continuously, but Taili's control techniques came one after another, and the wind apes could not reunite with their companions, nor could they support them.
Tai Lisuo concentrated his firepower and attacked the wind ape that was first entangled by the control technique.
Those who have watched "Douluo Dalu" may remember the power of control-type soul masters , and control-type magicians are equally powerful.
After the group of wind apes were all controlled by the control technique, Tai Lisuo concentrated his firepower and killed three wind apes one after another.
However, Tai Lisuo's mental strength was almost exhausted. After all, he had to control more than 10 wind apes at the same time and keep attacking the target.
The consumption of mental energy can be imagined.
A magician without mental power has no way to cast magic.
A magician who cannot cast magic is no longer a threat.
Fortunately, at this time, Wang Jiu had already reunited with Tai Lisuo. After the reunion, with Wang Jiu's strength, it was no problem to deal with this group of wind apes.
The mist produced by the water mist technique dissipated, and the wind apes saw their dead companions.
Tai Lisuo and Wang Jiu, who were both safe and sound, all roared and surrounded the two men.
Although the Taili Lock consumed a lot of energy, it still exerted its remaining strength and used a control spell from time to time to entangle the wind ape next to Wang Jiu, allowing Wang Jiu to kill more conveniently.
To these wind apes, a level seven warrior is an invincible myth.
What's more, Tai Lisuo was standing next to him, using control magic from time to time to help Wang Jiu hunt the wind ape.
With the cooperation of the two, it didn't take long before more than half of the wind apes were killed or injured.
The wind apes were not stupid either. Seeing the two men fighting more and more fiercely, after roaring at each other a few times, they all turned around and fled in all directions.
Seeing that the wind ape had run away, Tai Lisuo fell to the ground and gasped for breath. This battle was really tiring!
The physical strength and fighting spirit consumed were not much, but the mental strength was almost exhausted!
Seeing that Tai Lisuo was exhausted, Wang Jiu said to him, "Brother, you are awesome! You were besieged by a group of wind apes and killed several of them by yourself. It seems that your insistence on practicing both magic and martial arts is still beneficial."
Tai Lisuo waved his hand and said, "Old Wang, you were right. This wind ape is really hard to deal with. The intensity of this battle is greater than any battle I've ever experienced. It's too exhausting. I'll take a rest first. You help me protect the law."
Wang Jiu said, "Okay, take the time to recover, I'll help you watch over you."
Tai Lisuo didn't hesitate and sat down to meditate and regulate his breathing. However, Tai Lisuo didn't delay for too long. He only rested for less than half an hour before opening his eyes and standing up.
Wang Jiu asked, "Are you okay?"
Tai Lisuo said: "It's okay, let's clean up the battlefield and then leave here first."
Wang Jiu said, "Just sit down and rest. I'll take care of cleaning the battlefield."
After saying that, Wang Jiu walked towards the dead wind apes and began to collect the magic cores and various materials from the wind apes, and took the initiative to clean up the battlefield.
In addition to the magic core, the skin of the wind ape is also a good material. It takes a lot of time to skin the wind apes one by one.
Wang Jiu was busy for a while before he collected the skins of the seven wind apes killed by the two men.
Wang Jiu said to Tai Lisuo, "How is it, can we hurry on?"
Tai Lisuo said: "Fortunately, after resting for a while, I feel much better now."
Wang Jiu said with a smile: "You deserve it! Assisting in the battle and fighting directly are two different things. But what about you? You are a good magician, but you have to hunt the monsters by yourself. You have to do it yourself.
Just like what we did just now, you control the monster and I kill it. Wouldn't it be much easier for you this way?"
Tai Lisuo said: "Old Wang, you must have wanted to say this to me a long time ago, right? Of course, what you said is true, but I can't always rely on you to help me! If I encounter danger in the future, I still have to rely on myself at the critical moment of life and death. It's never a bad thing to have more power to protect myself!"
Wang Jiu said, "It's up to you! I'm not the one who's exhausted."
Tai Lisuo asked, "Tired as a dog? Whose dog would be as tired as us?"
Wang Jiu said: "Hahaha, stop joking, get up and go. Let's leave here first. The battle just now was quite noisy, it is very likely to attract other adventurers."
Tai Lisuo stood up and said, "Let's go. You lead the way, and we'll find a place to rest first."
At this time, Wang Jiu said: "Someone is coming, I'm afraid we can't leave!"
Tai Lisuo followed Wang Jiu's gaze and saw a group of adventurers approaching them quickly.
This team of adventurers consisted of four men and one woman. The leader was a red-faced middle-aged man, who was accompanied by three young men and a charming woman in her thirties.
The red-faced middle-aged man who was leading the group saw that there were only Tai Lisuo and Wang Jiu, and Tai Lisuo looked very tired and his face was a little pale.
There were also some blood stains on Wang Jiu's body, which were stained when he killed the wind ape just now.
Five against two, the two-man team had just finished fighting with the monster, while the five-man team was fully refreshed.
The red-faced middle-aged man and his teammates felt that this was a good opportunity to kill and rob.
So the red-faced middle-aged man said arrogantly, "You two, hand over your storage rings and I can let you go. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
With a great master like Wang Jiu around, Tai Lisuo would definitely not endure it and would be equally arrogant.
He said to the five adventurers: "You five, hand over your storage rings and I can let you live. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
Before the middle-aged man could say anything, the woman said with a sweet smile: "Oh my, you really don't know how to live or die! I will definitely make you miserable later, and I promise that you won't die so easily."
The red-faced middle-aged man continued, "Go ahead and kill them. The harvest we got from this trip into the mountains is enough for us to go back to Ping'an Town and enjoy a good life for a while."
Five against two, the red-faced middle-aged man and a young man rushed towards Wang Jiu, while the other two young men surrounded Tai Lisuo.
The woman didn't move, she just chanted spells on the spot, ready to provide magical support to her teammates at any time.
Tai Lisuo has recovered some of the mental energy he consumed in the previous battle, but he certainly can't last long, so he can only fight quickly and decisively.
Tai Lisuo didn't wait for the woman to cast magic. He cast a water mist spell and then added a wind spell to himself.
He passed by the two young men who were attacking her and rushed towards the female magician.
The female magician, I didn’t expect Tai Lisuo to be a magician.
What she didn't expect was that Tai Lisuo would come straight at her. The woman placed a ground spike on the ground in front of her and stepped back.
Because there are so few people who practice both magic and martial arts, and Tai Lisuo never wears a magician's robe. Like Wang Jiu, he is dressed as an ordinary warrior.
This led the other party to think that Tai Lisuo was just an ordinary warrior. Unexpectedly, Tai Lisuo was not only a warrior, but also a third-level magician.
Tai Lisuo used several control spells, followed by wind blades and flying knives.
This team of adventurers thought they were stronger than Wang Jiu and Tai Lisuo, and had the advantage in numbers, so they did not leave anyone behind to protect the female magician.
As a result, he was caught off guard by Tai Lisuo.
The female magician was caught off guard and was entangled by the control spell at first, but this female magician was also a veteran adventurer in the Warcraft Mountains.
At the critical moment, he actually used the ground spikes and the earth shield to break the vines of Taili Lock's control technique.
The female magician had just broken free from the control spell when she was caught in a panic by Tai Li's wind blades and flying knives.
The situation was critical, between life and death, the female magician was only concerned with saving her own life, and cast several earth shields for defense, but it was too late.
With the help of the Wind Walk Technique, Tai Lisuo quickly rushed to the woman, jumped up, waved his hand, and with one slash of his sword, he chopped the flustered female magician to death.
The two young men who were originally preparing to besiege Taili Suo, their faces changed after they came to their senses, and they quickly turned around to chase and kill Taili Suo.
More importantly, he turned around to protect the female magician. But when he turned around, he only ran half the distance.
But the female magician had already died under Tai Lisuo's knife.
Tai Lisuo raised his sword and killed the female magician, then landed, turned around and stood on guard.
Only then did Tai Lisuo realize that the middle-aged man and the young man who had attacked Wang Jiu had already been killed by Wang Jiu.
Yes, with Wang Jiu's current strength, dealing with two low-level adventurers would be much easier than killing the female magician himself.
The situation of five to two turned into two to two in the blink of an eye.
The two young men who were originally preparing to besiege Tai Lisuo, seeing that the situation was not right, ran to the sides. Teammates and such were not as important as their own lives!
However, it was too late for these two to escape now.
Before one of them could run a few steps, he was cut in half by Wang Jiu's sweeping move.
The other one was entangled by Taili's control technique. Wang Jiu quickly rushed to the last young man.
With a casual swipe of the heavy sword in his hand, the last enemy was sent to meet the King of Hell.
When the gap in strength reaches a certain level, the numerical advantage of the weaker side will no longer be an advantage.
Seeing that the battle was decided, Tai Lisuo finally relaxed.
As soon as he relaxed, he couldn't help but bend over and dry heave, vomiting continuously.
