Chapter 245: Ambush in the Garden (Ⅱ)

The moment Rebecca was stunned, two mastiffs rushed up to her, bared their sharp teeth, and bit her calf.

Rebecca couldn't help but gasped, as if she had seen her legs about to be bitten off by a vicious dog.

Fortunately, the "Sanctuary Technique" blessed in advance played a role at this critical moment.

Before the sharp teeth of the vicious dog touched her trousers, it was bounced off by a sudden burst of golden light, screaming and retreating in panic, shaking her head again and again, saliva dripping down the corners of her grinning mouth, as if she had suffered a serious mental shock , looked very painful.

The mastiff's intelligence is not high, but the encounter just now is enough to make them realize that the little girl in front of them is not easy to mess with.

The vicious dog growled at Rebecca twice, but didn't dare to bite again. Instead, it bypassed her and pounced on Joan, who was a little further away.

"Púréa!"

With the time gained by Rebecca, Joan was ready to cast the spell. He raised his hand and pointed at the two vicious dogs, and a large black and greasy grease appeared on the ground in front of him.

The bullying mastiff suffered immediate retribution: unable to hold back its running momentum, it fell into the traps made by the "greasy technique" one after another, rolled and struggled in embarrassment, and let out a terrified whine.

Taking advantage of the two vicious dogs being temporarily trapped in the greasy trap, Joan quickly chanted the spell, unfolded the bundle of rope in his hand, held one end of the rope with his right hand, and shook it lightly, and the rope flew towards the greasy area like a long snake stretching its body.

"Eala!"

Chanting an incantation in Elven language that symbolizes "life and soul", the rope infused with magic power in Joan's hand temporarily gains life and intelligence.

The moment the "activation rope" landed on the ground, it raised the end of the rope and snaked like a live snake on the slippery surface. It quickly tied up the two mastiffs and tied two knots to prevent the mastiffs from Break free.

The corners of his lips curled up in a satisfied arc, and Joan gently tugged the end of the rope in his hand. The "activated rope" shrank back in response to his intentions, and with the help of grease lubrication to reduce the surface friction, he dragged the tightly bound mastiff to the ground. to him.

Joan squatted down to observe the two mastiffs with their tongues sticking out and struggling to breathe, and found that they were wearing iron collars around their necks, and the capital letter "S" was engraved on the outside of the collars.

"S...what does this mean?" Joan muttered to himself.

"Mostly it is the abbreviation of the surname of the owner of the manor."

Rebecca walked to Joan, stared at the mastiff collar and made a guess.

"Most of the local manor owners will raise a group of mastiffs to guard their homes. These two dogs should be raised by Snow's family. The 'S' on the dog's collar is the abbreviation of Snow's surname."

Her guess sounded reasonable, but the watchdogs of Snow Manor did not guard the gate, but hid in the garden to ambush them who were hired to hunt down the shadows, which was a bit abnormal.

After thinking for a while, Joan thought of a possibility, so he used the "Mage Hand" to peel off the eyelids of a mastiff dog and observe carefully.

Sure enough, the mastiff's pupils had a faint cyan luster, which was clearly a sign of the unique magic power of the "confusion control" spell.

"These two mastiffs have both been hit by the charm spell. It may be the 1st-level nature magic spell 'charm animal', or it may be a higher level 'charm monster'."

Joan's face was serious.

"That is to say, someone secretly controlled these two mastiffs to attack us?"

Rebecca looked towards the garden with the open gate, but she couldn't see where the mastermind was hiding.

The sense of fear accompanying the unknown made her shiver involuntarily.

"First of all, what is certain is that 'Shadow' has absolutely no ability to charm a mastiff. There is at least one spellcaster lurking in the manor."

"It can be seen from this that the haunting incident at Snow Manor is not as simple as it appears on the surface, and there may be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind the scenes."

"Rebecca, do you think we need to continue to investigate?"

Joan looked at Rebecca solemnly.

Hearing what he said, Rebecca also realized that the situation was serious.

If the investigation continues, she and Joan will not only face a ghost, but also a "behind the scenes" manipulating the shadow and the mastiff with unfathomable strength. They will undoubtedly take huge risks, and may even cause trouble. Murder!

Just as she was hesitating, the tentacles of the digger in Joan's hand suddenly trembled, making a buzzing alarm.

"Shh-"

Joan raised his index finger to cover his lips, motioning for Rebecca to be silent. Holding the siren, he moved up, down, left, and right, and detected the position and distance of the lurker in the dark according to the bending angle and vibration frequency of the tentacles.

Joan suddenly raised his left arm, aimed the small shield tied outside his elbow at a bush in the garden, and uttered a syllable coldly.

"Anar!"

The human face depicted on the surface of the shield made a glaring expression, and the eyes shot out a strong light, like a beam of searchlights hitting the bushes straight, illuminating every leaf.

On this "Flash Shield" remodeled by Joan, the enchanting special effect has been upgraded from the 0-ring "Flash Technique" to the more powerful 1-ring "Flash Burst".

In the bushes shrouded in magic power, a ball of shining light exploded, and Rebecca, who was far away, was dazzled by the strong light, and had to turn her head to avoid it.

The mysterious man hiding in the bushes had nowhere to hide, revealing a black figure with a voluptuous figure, raised his hands to cover his face, and staggered trying to escape into the depths of the flowers.

"You can't run!"

Joan stomped his feet suddenly, and the "stomp boots" were activated. The magic power was poured into the ground through the soles of the boots, and a long straight ridge was raised on the surface.

The shock wave aroused by the "Thunder Stomp" quickly extended along this ridge towards the direction in which the man in black was escaping, caught up with the man in an instant, erupted violently from the soles of his feet, and knocked him to the ground.

After Joan activated the "stomp boots", he chased after him, thinking that he could subdue the opponent while he fell. Unexpectedly, the man was extremely agile, and the moment he fell to the ground, he turned over and bounced up. With his hands on his waist, he quickly showed his weapon - a large cold dagger was tightly held in his left hand, and a red red dagger that exuded a scorching breath was held in his right hand. The rapier is like ice and fire in her hands.

Seeing this scene, Qiao An couldn't help being taken aback.

He was so familiar with these two weapons that he couldn't help but have a guess.

Looking at the person carefully, although the face is covered with a black veil, the face cannot be seen clearly, but judging from the enchanting figure wrapped in the tight leather jacket, it is obviously a young woman.

If these vague features alone were not enough to reveal the other party's identity, the furry tail on the masked girl's buttocks undoubtedly provided Joan with more reliable evidence.

"Don't move!"

Rebecca also caught up, aiming at the masked girl with guns in both hands, pressing the trigger with her right index finger, and sternly warned:

"Whoever you are, drop your weapon immediately, or don't blame me for making a hole in your head!"

The masked girl's eyes flickered, she was staring at the black muzzle of the gun, her body lowered slightly, and the tail behind her was raised upwards.

The graceful carcass wrapped in a tight leather jacket has bulging muscular lines, and the fluff on the tip of the tail stands upright like an electric shock.

All signs indicated that she had decided to fight to the death!
