Chapter 8 Injury
The assassin actually dug a hole next to the carriage and hid himself in it. When everyone was resting, it suddenly emerged from the hole and launched a sudden attack.
It turned out that when the assassin saw Ron cruising around the team and transforming the mercenary team into a pretty defensive formation, he knew that Ron had taken over the hiring task of defending the Bledsoe family.
For several days, the assassin was secretly looking for opportunities, but Ron's arrangement was relatively strict, and the team was neatly formed, so he could not find the opportunity to sneak attack. The assassin was very angry and gritted his teeth at Ron who came out of thin air. If this person hadn't intercepted it last time, his mission would have been completed long ago, so he would have delayed it until now. He would have been lying in the grass all day long with insects and snakes, watching the group of hateful mercenaries eating barbecue and drinking ale.
Later, the assassin finally thought of a solution. He expected Ron and the others to stop and rest in a gentle terrain to prevent the last valley attack. So the assassin looked for a place to rest along the way, and finally found a place with water and flat terrain nearby. He dug a cave near the place to hide in it, waiting for Ron to arrive.
Sure enough, Ron stopped here to rest, and the carriage happened to be near the cave. The assassin waited for a long time until Ron and Thorton came to the side to explain the movement of the fighting energy, and suddenly rushed out and rushed towards the carriage.
At this time, the mercenary team reacted and quickly gathered in the carriage. However, the mercenary team originally dispersed in the formation arranged by Ron. They thought they could prevent external attacks, but they were sneak attacked from inside.
Looking at the mercenaries shouting everywhere, the assassin felt even more proud when he saw this. He had already rushed to the carriage, opened the car door, raised his sword and stabbed it in.
With a "double" sound, the assassin felt that his sword seemed to be stabbed into a metal. He knew something was wrong and quickly retracted the sword, trying to find the target. Then he felt a huge body hitting his body hard, and he couldn't help but fly out of the carriage.
Manniu warrior Bentley stood at the carriage door, waved the giant axe in his hand, and laughed: "I knocked it away again!"
The assassin in the air was shocked and angry. He always paid attention to Ron. Unexpectedly, there was another mana bull warrior hiding in the carriage. By accident, it was the second time that he had been hit by the mana bull warrior. As an assassin, he was simply furious, and the pain on his body was not as strong as the anger.
After the assassin landed, he was about to rush up, but Ron laughed behind his back, "I finally waited for you." The assassin was shocked and turned around and took a sword. Then he felt that he had blocked the spear that Ron stabbed. He knew that he might have been ambushed, so he rolled on the spot, trying to avoid the next attack.
But Ron quickly bullied himself, pointed the tip of the gun at the assassin's vital point and stabbed it directly. As soon as the assassin stood up, his body shook and wanted to avoid Ron's spear. However, as soon as part of his body was removed, the spear head had already stabbed into the left arrow. The assassin felt a stinging pain, swung the sword in his hand, forced Ron away, and quickly pulled away.
Ron finally succeeded in sneak attacking, but he couldn't let the assassin escape. He stepped forward a few steps and the spear attacked again. However, Ron saw the assassin wave his hand, and a white mist appeared in front of him. A sweet smell came over. Ron hurriedly held his breath and retreated, withdrawing the spear.
After the assassin sprinkled white mist, his body fell back and disappeared into the darkness again in a blink of an eye.
Ron stopped the mercenary's pursuit, his face was gloomy, watching the white mist gradually disappear and land on the grass, but condensed into drops of black liquid. Soon, the wild grass that was originally green, quickly turned yellow and withered after being stained with black liquid, like the dead grass in winter. He used the spear tip to lift a little black liquid that fell on the ground, but smelled a stench.
The mercenary behind Ron gasped and said, "What a great poison!"
Ron stabbed the spear into the soil, wiped the venom clean, and said regretfully: "What a pity, this time, I didn't expect him to run away!"
The manniu warrior Bentley rushed over and was startled to see the poison on the ground. He said, "Ron, you let me hide in the car, but it's true that he succeeded again. Fortunately, that guy didn't spill the poison into the car."
Ron said: "This poison was originally used by assassins to prevent pursuers, but they are generally not easily used. Moreover, the air in the carriage does not flow, which is not conducive to the poison dissipation. As long as the people in the car hold their breath, they can defend against it for a while. For assassins, they will not waste time waiting. Their favorite method is to stab the assassin with a weapon with poison to penetrate the assassinated person."
"Wow," Manniu said: "Why do I think you have been an assassin, Ron."
The mercenary behind laughed, and Ron also laughed loudly, "Okay, everyone go back and rest. Today the assassin was shot by me, and he will definitely not come again."
Bledsoe came out of the carriage and was very happy to see the result. He said, "Mr. Ron's plan is indeed amazing. He actually injured this level 6 assassin. Haha."
Ron said: "It's a pity that he failed and let him run away."
Bledsoe didn't mind at all and said, "It was far beyond expectations to be able to hit this assassin hard. Mr. Ron has done a good job," he turned to other mercenaries and said, "Thank you all, too."
The mercenaries said it was okay. Everyone chatted for a while, and Ron asked everyone to go back and rest quickly to relax their tensions over the past few days.
It turned out that Ron guessed the assassin's thoughts when he saw that the assassin had not appeared. He decided to lure the assassin out, so he discussed with Bledsoe and Bentley and set up a game. As long as Ron was next to the carriage, the assassin might not appear. So Ron designed to leave the carriage at some point, let Bentley hide in the carriage, and lead the assassin into the encirclement.
In order to achieve the real effect, everyone is highly vigilant and always looks alert to assassins. Sometimes, it is much more tiring to be fake than to be real.
Before going to bed, the little lion took Ron's hand and said, "Master Ron, is the fighting spirit you said before true?"
Ron remembered the conversation before the battle, and he realized that he had thought of a possibility.
Ron thought that every time the little lion Thorton practiced Dou Qi, he felt unbearable abdominal pain, which was very similar to the phenomenon of excessive Dou Qi cultivation. Generally, warriors practiced Dou Qi every time, and the longer the better. If they practiced for too long, it would cause their body to run too tired and the effect of the Qihai was greatly reduced. If they were forced to practice, the Qihai would be extremely painful and even damaged.
However, Ron was not sure, because the little lion had never practiced, and it was impossible to say that the sea of qi was full, and there was not even the sea of qi. But when he thought of this idea, Ron felt that there was a very likely reason, and at least he could use this direction to analyze it.
Ron thought for a while and said to the Little Lion: "I thought of something that might be related to your fighting spirit, but I didn't think of a specific method, so let me think about it again. If I could figure it out, it might be helpful to your fighting spirit cultivation."
Not only the little lion, but also the old lion Bledsoe was extremely excited. He stepped forward and took Ron's hand and said, "Is this really the case?"
Ron smiled and said, "I'm not sure, but it's possible after all."
Bledsoe said: "Okay, okay, sir, don't worry. We have tried countless possibilities and failed, but we will not give up as long as there are new possibilities."
Bledsoe said some thanks again before taking Lion back to the carriage to rest. After a night of tossing, everyone was tired. Lion said to Ron before going to bed: "Teacher Ron, you must think about it, you must come up with it."
Ron smiled and sent the little lion into the carriage, allowing him to go to bed.
The starry sky on the Magic Continent is extremely dazzling and shines with charming light. In that vast and endless space, there may be some unknown planes hidden, and countless people are fascinated by it, explore it, and search for it. But just like the secrets of the gods, there are always some that cannot be known to the world. Therefore, the mysterious starry sky is looked up to by the world on countless nights, and those people think about such secrets in their minds and then fall into sleep.
The assassin was injured again, and the mercenary team slept extremely sweetly. After a while, the snoring sounded, and the worms in the distance were sometimes high and sometimes low. When they reached here, it was more gentle like a lullaby.
Ron thought about the Qihai in his mind, looked at the starry sky, and slowly fell asleep not far from the carriage.
The night became darker, and a black shadow was approaching the mercenary team very carefully and quietly, with the target being the carriage in the middle.
