Volume 8 Guild Chapter 5 This is my buddy
When the dark elf thorn red wolf was less than 20 steps away, our mysterious dwarf priest Aunt Warehouse also frantically leaned on her staff with her left hand and stretched out her right hand, chanting a not very short spell in a low voice. A light with a faint holy power shot down from the air, covering the warehouse in a soft glow. Then, a large ray of light gathered at the front of her outstretched right hand. The light gathered more and more densely as she chanted, gradually becoming like a substance. Finally, as if it could no longer bear more sacred magic power, it burst forward with a powerful momentum to destroy all evil and filth without hesitation.
This righteous attack, full of the righteousness of heaven and earth and the support of the gods, dragged a pure milky white light, and was about to hit the dark elf assassin's back with great momentum. For a moment, the light was bright, and the condensed sacred magic light burst out with all its power in an instant, tightly wrapping our enemy in a sacred and majestic punishment light. Suddenly, a few large red characters rose above the dark elf's head, showing the brilliant results of this sneak attack:
Attack ineffective!
Sure enough, even if it was a sneak attack, a recruit who was less than level 10 would hardly cause damage to a veteran who was close to level 50...
It was not until he was attacked that the dark elf with dull senses realized that there were other people behind him. He did not seem to be an experienced adventurer. After seeing us, he did not dodge or escape immediately, and did not even draw his weapon. Instead, he waved his hands at us in panic, and even shouted naively: "Wait a minute, listen to me..."
Even if it was an enemy, any cultured, moral and righteous person would not ignore the last wishes of a dying person. We were happy to listen carefully to the last words of the dark elves, but obviously listening to others would not hinder the movement of our hands and feet. So we could only swing our weapons vigorously and listen to the continuous screams of the dark elves when they were chopped and killed. You know, giving the enemy a chance to breathe is both stupid and dangerous, and when the enemy is a professional assassin who walks on the edge of darkness and death, this stupidity and danger are even more obvious.
My luck was pretty good. The first strike triggered the additional damage effect of my long sword "Flame Blade of the Brave". Although the additional fire damage was not much, it continuously caused the opponent to lose life. The dark red flames and the life loss values that appeared above his head from time to time made his "stealth" skills exposed once they were used.
An assassin who couldn't sneak up and attack, under the attack of three opponents, was really not much better than a moving target that could move and make sounds. This poor unlucky guy didn't even have time to draw his weapon before he died on the spot. There were many sword marks and dagger holes on his body, and there was an oversized mousetrap on his right foot until he died - the half-orc shadow thief Changjiang Delta actually had the time to install the trap in such a tense battle, which really made people admire his profound skills; and making a mousetrap so big that it could even trap a lion, it's hard to deny that the half-orcs do have a unique aesthetic that is hard to accept.
Even the less than level 10 dwarf Aunt Warehouse was crazy and showed off her power: after finding that her spells were not effective, she joined the battle without hesitation, generously and heroically using her "two-handled long-handled staff" which was not much longer than a fire stick to hit the dark elf below the belt. Although she did not cause the enemy to lose a lot of health, I always felt that most of the dark elf's screams were directly related to her.
This long-planned ambush was like a violent tornado that decided life and death in an instant. It started so fast and ended so abruptly that the last person involved in the battle - the human swordsman Buddha Smile who was always walking in the front - only had time to look back after hearing the noise, and then he accidentally exclaimed "Ah", and witnessed the whole process of the dark elf assassin Red Wolf turning from a vibrant living animal into a corpse.
Fuxiao was probably too shocked by the scene in front of him, and he didn't even understand what was going on. He looked at the corpse on the ground with a stunned expression - the freshly baked dark elf corpse specimen was lifelike and vivid - and then looked at us with a dull look - a good young man like me who saw injustice and drew his sword to help would certainly not be proud of the credit, I just tried to pretend to be indifferent and enjoy his admiring gaze with great joy.
"This guy has been following you..." The dwarf lady also frantically stepped on the corpse lying on the ground with one foot, and said in a calm tone that was trying hard to hide her arrogance, "... We were afraid that he would do something bad to you, so we killed him."
"You...you guys..." Foxiao stuttered excitedly, pointing at us with trembling hands. He just said two words...
"It's just a small favor..." Every pore on the fanged green face of Chang Sanjiao exuded a respectable aura, "...This is what we should do. You don't have to be grateful to us, and we won't covet your reward. No one would ignore such a thing if they saw it."
If his eyes had not suddenly burst into a greedy light like gold when he said the word "repay", I might have really thought that he was a brave man with an open mind.
"But..." As if feeling uneasy about the generosity of the Yangtze River Delta, Foxiao wanted to refute something.
"You really don't have to feel uneasy..." With my lofty moral standards, I am obviously not on the same level as those two vulgar guys - at least I will always maintain a peaceful and calm heart, and will never boast about my achievements so blatantly.
"...You don't have to hold a grudge against us for saving your life..." Well, I just slightly emphasized the tone of the words "saving your life", "...we just happened to save your life." Hey, why did I say "saving your life" in such a strong tone? It was as if I was reminding him of something. God, I don't have the slightest intention of seeking a reward - but if he misunderstood my words and thought I was hinting at something, I don't think I have the obligation or responsibility to correct him.
"But...but..." Finally, Foxiao barely suppressed his turbulent emotions, pointed at the dark elf's corpse on the ground and said to us:
"Hey...this is my buddy!"
quiet……
Looked at each other.
The wind blew, picking up a withered yellow leaf, which floated quietly into the distance, so desolate!
The sun in the sky is so round.
For some reason, I suddenly wanted to say: What a great weather today, hahaha.
Could it be that this feeling of having a chill in the heart but a hot face is what people often call "embarrassment"?
Maybe…
"You...why didn't you say it earlier?" Warehouse muttered with an innocent expression on his chubby little face.
"Say it earlier?" Foxiao was furious. "As soon as I turned around, you guys chopped him into pieces. I wanted to say it earlier, but you should give me a chance first!"
"Haha, don't praise our powerful killing power too much, we will feel embarrassed." Chang Sanjiao touched the back of his head embarrassedly and lowered his head in a rare shy manner.
"I'm not praising you!" Foxiao roared angrily.
"But...what's going on?" I was a little confused and asked, "He is from the Doomsday Empire?"
Hearing my question, Foxiao sighed softly: "Our acquaintance was completely an accident..."
No matter how relaxed the tone in which Foxiao tells this story is, to me, this is a magnificent story about "friendship":
Snowy night!
Bloody night!
Deep in the Tione Mountains, in an unknown and dangerous cave, the swordsman Foshao stood with his sword in hand.
He is here on a mission.
He is not here to die.
But now, he is going to die.
The snow mountain giant ape is fast, powerful, has thick skin and sharp claws. For anyone, they are a headache for everyone.
And when these snow mountain giant apes are infected by magic and mutate into magical beasts like "Snow Mountain Demon Apes", encountering their enemies will be more than just a headache.
At this time, the human swordsman Foxiao not only had a headache, but also began to ache in the bones all over his body, because the number of Snow Mountain Demon Apes standing in front of him, staring at him covetously, was not one, not two, but six.
In the previous fight, one of the demon apes was in danger of death, but Foxiao also lost nearly one-third of his life under their siege.
The worst thing was that when he finally found this place after going through so much hardship, his life potion had been almost used up. In his backpack, there was only one last bottle of powerful life potion left.
Could there be any situation worse than this?
The facts told Buddha: There is more!
Suddenly, he heard light footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw a dark elf with a dark face approaching him with a sharp blade in his hand.
A bright and tempting name was written above the dark elf's head: Red Wolf.
The bright red name flickered faintly in the cave, like the pulsation of blood, carrying a strong murderous intent.
With a flash of light, the dark elf's body disappeared in an instant. No one knew when the invisible danger would strike. Although Fu Xiao was still alive at this time, he felt as if he was already dead.
Blood spurted out...
In the cave, Foxiao and Red Wolf stood side by side, one in white clothes as white as snow, and the other in black skin.
On the ground, the corpses of six Snow Mountain Demon Apes were piled together.
Why don't you kill me? Buddha asked with a smile.
If I kill you, I will be the next one. Red Wolf wiped the blood off the dagger and replied in a deep voice. You can't handle six demon apes, and neither can I.
Then why did you save me? Buddha smiled and asked again.
To find a helper, Red Wolf answered without even looking up.
Buddha smiled and nodded thoughtfully: This mission is very dangerous and it is difficult to complete it alone.
Besides, it’s hard to find here. There may not be a third person coming tomorrow, so I can only look for you, said Red Wolf calmly.
Aren't you afraid that I will kill you behind your back? Foxiao raised his eyebrows.
Unless you give up this extremely troublesome task. Red Wolf is confident.
Buddha suddenly laughed, and his laugh was very sincere: You are right, you can only rely on me, and I can only rely on you.
Red Wolf also laughed: You are a smart man!
The Buddha smiled and nodded: You too!
Red Wolf looked at Foxiao's equipment and suddenly said: Your equipment is terrible!
Fo Xiao's face turned red, and then he showed a sly smile: You too!
Finally, Red Wolf looked at the corpse of the Snow Mountain Demon Ape on the ground, as if he remembered the scene of the battle just now. He sighed lightly and said: Your operation is rubbish!
Buddha laughed so happily: You too!
…
Two hours later, in the corner of the cave, Foxiao stood up with a blue dragon primrose in his hand.
My mission is accomplished, he said.
Red Wolf nodded: Mine hasn’t been yet.
Fo Xiao played with the dragon primrose in his hand, and suddenly said: It is very dangerous here, and the cave is very dark. If it were not for this mission, I would not want to come here.
Only a fool would want to come, Red Wolf nodded in agreement.
Fo Xiao gently put the dragon primrose into his backpack: Actually, I can leave now.
Red Wolf remained calm: Yes, you can go, but I have to stay for a while.
Fo Xiao suddenly curled his lips, revealing an evil and ferocious face: In fact, I don’t have to leave. I can just follow you and find an opportunity to kill you easily while you are fighting.
Red Wolf did not answer, but held the dagger in his hand even tighter.
Foxiao's hands suddenly moved. They were the hands of a swordsman, deft and powerful. The left knife and the right sword in his hands stirred up a cold wind and rolled up a metal spiral of death in front of him.
A snow mountain demon ape fell down wailing, its body covered in blood, after being ravaged by swords and knives.
Let's go and complete the mission. Buddha smiled, his smile was like a sun rising in the dark cave.
He said "we", as if this was originally a task for two people.
Let's go and complete the mission. Red Wolf murmured and repeated his words.
If the minds of these two people were complicated due to utilitarian reasons when they first entered the cave, then after fighting in tacit cooperation all the way, some different emotions were unconsciously undergoing subtle changes in the hearts of these two people.
Not long after, Red Wolf dug out a dilapidated box deeper in the cave, which contained a dark elf history notebook. Red Wolf quickly put the notebook in his backpack.
Your mission is also completed. Buddha smiled and said gently.
We can go out now. Red Wolf nodded.
Do you still want to go out? Suddenly, Buddha asked with a smile.
Red Wolf was surprised at first, then he pondered for a moment: Indeed, this place is too remote, it will take half a day to walk back, it would be better to resurrect and go back directly.
Buddha smiled and coughed lightly: When you first came in, you said something.
I said a lot, Red Wolf replied.
You said my operation was rubbish. Foxiao's pupils suddenly shrank.
Yes, you said the same thing to me. Red Wolf kept rubbing the edge of his pants with his dagger.
I suddenly became very curious. Who do you think has worse skills between the two of us? Foxiao made a knife flower with his left hand and moved slowly to the right cautiously.
You don't want to know the answer, Red Wolf said proudly.
No matter who is more rubbish, the other person can't walk out of the cave alone, so you don't have to feel that you are at a disadvantage if I kill you. Buddha smiled with a smile that only a winner can have.
Maybe I can sneak out after I hide. The dark elf laughed maliciously and hid his body while laughing.
A moment later, the dark elf Hei Xu's face suddenly appeared in front of Fu Xiao. Swords clashed, metal and iron clanged, the cold light of the sharp blades was accompanied by blood, and shining neon lines were drawn in the air.
“Ding!”, “Dang!”, “Crack!”, “Snap!”, “Ouch!”, “Ah!”, “Oops!”, “Bad luck!”, “Ouch!”…
I'm afraid we'll have to wait until later to find out who's stronger. Just as they were fighting fiercely and killing intent was strong, a group of passing snow mountain demon apes showed their sharp claws with great joy, slapped the two invaders , and directly slapped the two souls who sympathized with each other back to their respective resurrection points. Only their last wails when they were dying remained in the air:
"Add me as your friend, and keep in touch...ah...ah...ah...ah..."
