Chapter 521 Exposed
Joan stared at Casio coldly, retracted the "Mage's Hand" expressionlessly, and turned his gaze back to the playing field.
Although he had already stopped Casio's secret interference, the previous impact was irreparable—Clark's arm was pressed against the table by Shrek, almost touching the table.
Just when Shrek was about to overwhelm the frost giant with one blow, Clark suddenly took a deep breath, and there was a whistling sound like a bellows deep in his chest.
Joan froze for a moment, recalling that when he was dealing with the wither monster in the Davis Ranch not long ago, Clark had also made such a strange whistling sound. It seemed that he was using a special breathing method to stimulate the potential of his body and strengthen his own strength. .
While he was watching curiously, Clark's body sitting in front of the table suddenly swelled sharply, his strong muscles tore through his shirt, and rags flew all over the sky!
Clark's already strong body doubled in size during the rapid transformation process, from a seven-foot man to a fourteen-foot tall giant, his arms became obviously thicker than Shrek's, and he twisted instantly Decline!
boom!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, Clark pressed Shrek's wrist against the table with all his strength, and the ferocious force actually smashed the thick oak table on the spot, revealing a large cobweb-like crack.
"Haha! I won!"
Clark jumped up excitedly, raised his arms, and showed off his high biceps to the crowd.
However, to his surprise, the crowd of onlookers did not applaud, but turned pale in fright, scrambling to escape to the door as if the tide was ebbing, exclaiming "monster" repeatedly!
Seeing the extremely chaotic scene, Qiao An couldn't help sighing.
Clark was eager to win just now, lifted the restrictions imposed on him by the "myth reduction technique", and inspired all his strength.
Although he defeated Shrek, a formidable opponent, in the arm wrestling match as he wished, he also revealed his true colors and changed back into the form of a frost giant.
People wouldn't be too surprised if Clark walked into the tavern in the form of a frost giant from the very beginning. The contrast is too strong, it is inevitable to frighten the unsuspecting civilians watching, and even cause the current chaos.
Clark was still intoxicated with the joy of victory, regardless of the changes in the surrounding atmosphere, he put his arm around Shrek's shoulder and said with a smile: "Fatty, you have to admit what you said!"
The Ogre King snorted resentfully, and replied unwillingly: "Shrek always keeps his word, since he lost the bet to you, I'll just help you find that damn collar for free, stop making sarcastic remarks!"
All the guests in the tavern had fled, and the tavern owner and waiters also hid in the back kitchen, leaving Joan and the four of them in the empty hall.
At this time, the door of the tavern was kicked open suddenly, and a group of patrolmen in uniform and iron helmets rushed in with big wooden sticks. It was clear that they had received an alarm and came to catch the monsters who had sneaked into the city and made trouble.
The patrol leader who led the team held a big stick, pointed at Qiao An and the others and sternly reprimanded them.
"Stupid villain, dare to break into this city to make trouble, really reckless!"
"You are already surrounded, if you don't want to suffer, just raise your hands and surrender!"
Joan realized that the situation was not good, and quickly tugged on the poet's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Casio, can you play a 'Ecstasy' to eliminate the hostility of the patrolmen, so that we can take the opportunity to escape?"
Casio grinned his teeth and replied with a face full of embarrassment: "Brother Joan, you have given me a problem! My artistic integrity refuses to play that kind of kitsch music that confuses people..."
"Come on! I have serious doubts that your boy can't play 'Ecstasy' at all, only those manic and disturbing pieces-if that can be regarded as a kind of music."
Clark looked at Casio with unfriendly eyes, and the words he said were obviously thorny.
Apparently, the frost giant still hated the bard for cheating on him in the arm wrestling match.
Casio blushed with anger from Clark's face-to-face ridicule, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out, arguing: "A layman like you is not worthy of appreciating real art!" Then he said something like "avant-garde", "metal" , "hard core" and other difficult strange words.
Joan could see that Clark, Casio, and Shrek didn't take the group of patrolmen seriously.
Indeed, with the strength of the three of them, it doesn't take much effort to deal with those patrolmen. The question is how to end the mess after it gets big?
Prince Port is not a place outside the law. The local security regiment plus the regular garrison have a total of no less than a thousand people.
No matter how hard Clark and the others were able to fight, after all, they were hard to beat with two fists and four hands. Once they were surrounded by heavy soldiers, it would be difficult to escape.
What's more, General Isaac Hook and Sharman the "Snake Hand" are likely to be in the city as well. If the disturbance in the tavern catches their attention, they will come to find Joan and settle their old and new scores together. The consequences will be disastrous.
Aware of the seriousness of the current situation, Joan couldn't sit still, and quickly observed the situation in the tavern, and found that the main entrance had been blocked by the six patrolmen who arrived earlier, and shortly thereafter, the back door of the tavern was also kicked open. No less than ten patrolmen carrying oak sticks and looking murderous broke in one after another.
The four of Joan gathered in the center of the tavern hall, and were flanked by the patrolmen. There was no way out. In such a situation, the only option is to choose a route to break out and knock down the patrolmen blocking the way as soon as possible.
The number of patrolmen guarding the front door of the tavern seems to be easier to break through, but there is still a large group of passers-by watching the excitement outside the door, and the street is well-connected. More patrolmen came to chase and intercept.
In contrast, the back door of the tavern leads to a remote and dark alley, and nearby is a slum full of garbage and sewage. The environment is more complicated and it is easier to escape.
Joan also noticed that the fireplace used for heating and baking bread in the tavern was installed near the back door, and the coal fire in the hearth was burning vigorously.
This discovery prompted him to think of a way out, and he whispered to his companions beside him: "When I start casting spells, you close your eyes immediately, and don't open them until I remind you!"
"Little guy, what spell are you going to cast?" Shrek asked curiously.
"Brother Joan doesn't have time to explain to you now, anyway, you must follow his orders!" Clark said angrily.
At this time, the patrolmen who rushed into the tavern had already surrounded them with big sticks.
Casio also wanted to use magic to deal with them, but the patrol police obviously had quite a lot of experience in catching gangsters, so under the command of the captain, they dispersed their formation and outflanked them.
The control range of spells such as "Flash Dust" or "Spider Web" is not enough to catch the patrolman, and the police obviously will not give him a second chance to cast the spell.
