Palm 48: Intrusion

What Cledia Attendant found was actually nothing very special. It was just a little blood stain and some clothes scattered on the ground. And judging from the extent of the scattering, it was clearly caused by a struggle.

"These are Louise's clothes. Could it be that she was attacked?" Demon King Hagrolos said with a frown.

I looked at the scene and said: "It seems that there must have been a fight before. With Louise's fighting ability, even subduing her requires a fight, which means that the opponent's fighting ability is not very good. In addition, judging from the situation here, It seems that Louise even caused the other party to get hurt."

The Great Demon King Hargros looked at the few drops of dried blood on the ground and asked, "How do you know that's not Louise's blood?"

"Please use my 48th Palm of the Demon Lord, sir. Have you never seen the blood of a succubus? Besides, the magic power in this blood is very low. The opponent should be a warrior, and Louise should be considered a legal profession. Bar?"

Hagros nodded and said, "Ziri, are you good at tracking?"

"Remove the word "?". I'm good at tracking. I don't have that."

"That's good. Let's see if we can catch up."

"Don't worry, since the other party is bleeding, there is no problem of chasing him."

Following my words, Bailang appeared next to me. He simply sniffed the blood on the ground, then Bailang circled around the house and then started to run in one direction. I snapped my fingers and summoned The Night Shadow Dharma God stepped forward, then turned directly to the Great Demon King Hargros and said: "Leave this to me. You go back and wait for the news. The opponent's combat effectiveness is not strong, and the large number of us will only affect the speed."

The Great Demon King Hargros also felt that what I said was reasonable, so they nodded and let me go first. I was not polite to them. I pinched Yeying's belly, and Yeying immediately ran away after Bailang.

At this time, in the outer area of ​​the Fairy Tale Forest, a large group of tourists from all over the world were visiting the call story "The Brave and the Dragon's 48th Palm: Chaos" area under the leadership of tour guides. This fairy tale is actually not an orthodox fairy tale because it was not compiled into a formal collection of stories. It's just a form of story similar to folklore.

Although it has not been written into a book, this story is still quite famous, and the content is very simple. The beautiful princess was kidnapped by the evil dragon, and then the brave man killed the dragon at the invitation of the king, rescued the princess, and lived happily with the princess from now on. together. This story template has actually been extended and developed into many different versions by many works. Although the details have their own characteristics, the general story line is like this. This is why everyone is so familiar with this story. In fact, many people may not have seen the original version of this story, so they know it in such detail. Simply because there are so many adaptations based on this story.

Strictly speaking, the story template used in the fairy tale forest in "Zero" is not the original one. And because of the special nature of this story, this scene is now almost becoming a theme park-like scene. After players come here, they can not only watch, but also participate. Players who come to play will first be interfered and blocked by special scene coordination NPCs in various ways. Eventually, the scattered players will be divided into waves of people. After that, each wave of players will be gathered together and arrive at the kingdom at the same time. According to the script, these players will be given the identity of a foreign warrior, and then the king will invite them to join the king's guard. Then the evil dragon attacks, and everyone can witness the whole process of the evil dragon taking away the princess. You can even take part in a battle to protect the princess. Of course, considering the dragon's combat effectiveness. Except for the top 100 players on the combat power list who dare to say that they can definitely kill a dragon, most players can only act as a sidekick or something. There is no hope of dealing with the evil dragon anyway.

The princess will eventually be snatched away, and then the brave will appear. After that, the king will ask the players to follow the brave to slay the dragon. Players can follow. Of course, whether you actually participate in the attack on the dragon depends on your own interest. , anyway, the dragon will mainly attack the brave man and carry out limited attacks on other people who participate in the attack, but the dragon will not take the initiative to attack those who have not taken action. This setting ensures different entertainment methods for different players. Otherwise, if a dragon is really allowed to act according to its own habits, the players who come to play will have to hang back collectively. You must know that without the participation of the top 100 personnel on the combat power list, the casualty rate of major guilds so far relying on numbers to slay dragons is usually above 0%. The main reason why this number exceeds 100% is because Some of them died several times in a single dragon slaying. After all, those who can organize dragon slaying are all big guilds, and there will definitely be resurrection mages and so on. Moreover, when slaying dragons, they will definitely bring resurrection mages with them. Therefore, some players who participate in the battle are often resurrected immediately after they die. Although the casualties would be heavy in the next battle, the characters in the dragon-slaying team would not change much until the resurrection mage's magic power could no longer keep up.

Because the attack methods are restricted, players can only be allowed to participate in the game scene of "The Brave and the Dragon". Otherwise, players who are purely sightseeing and children who are just like visiting an amusement park would not be able to participate at all. .

Today is like usual, the scene of "The Brave and the Dragon" started to refresh again, a group of players were put into the area, and then they acted like the normal mode, first protecting the princess, of course the result was inevitable failure, and then the brave Appeared, everyone followed the brave man to rescue the princess.

When the players and the brave discover the evil dragon's lair, according to the normal script, the evil dragon will rush out of the lair and fight with these players and the brave. The subsequent plot advancement will determine whether the evil dragon is killed by the brave based on the amount of effort the players put in. Or the evil dragon was defeated and ran away. This is considered a small branch plot. However, this normal script was destined to be impossible to complete today, because just when the players entered the dragon's lair and were discovered by the evil dragon, a wretched figure appeared in this area dragging a large sack. . If you look carefully, you can also see that the sack seems to be squirming, as if there is something alive inside.

In fact. This sack is indeed filled with living things, and it is the magic pastry chef Louise I am looking for. As for the person dragging the sack... it is the Ice Fist that I killed before.

Bing Fist's combat ability is really bad. He did well before because everyone thought he was a magic pastry chef, so they all gave him some face. In addition, he has magic candies in his hand that can improve his combat status, so he did very well. However, now there is no magic candy ice fist. It can only be regarded as a lost dog. No one was selling him face, and at this time he was slightly stronger than ordinary players. Even because he was not used to this unassisted combat mode, he could not even perform at the level of a normal person. This is why he would be injured even when he kidnapped mage personnel like Louise. Of course, even if she was injured, Louise would not be able to do ice boxing. After all, strictly speaking, Louise should be regarded as a support staff. Her specialty is making magical desserts, similar to an alchemist. Not good at fighting at all.

After knocking Louise unconscious, Ice Fist tied her up. Then he put her into the big sack again, and finally dragged her to run away, but Louise woke up halfway and started struggling. Unfortunately, the whole person was tied up like a rice dumpling, even though she struggled desperately , which has no effect other than letting the bag dangle.

"Damn it, why did you come here!" Bing Fist, who had just climbed up a hill, immediately realized that something was wrong with the situation ahead. In front of them was the outside of the dragon's lair. This place is a valley surrounded by a large crater, which looks like a huge natural colosseum. The valley as a whole can be said to be relatively flat. And the mixed ground composed of hard soil and rock is relatively strong. However, this place is only relatively flat. In fact, the terrain inside has changed somewhat. For example, there is a large spider-like rift in the northwest corner of this area. The ground there is basically made of stone, but there are many shallow trenches crisscrossing the ground like trenches. Some of these ravines are as deep as three or four meters, some are less than one meter deep, some places are as wide as more than two meters, and some places can only allow thin people to squeeze through. In addition to this rift valley, there is also a large stone forest at another corner of this area. There are many thick stone pillars in this stone forest, which look very solid and are simply natural obstacles designed for the evil dragon. Of course, these are deliberately designed for players to experience the feeling of fighting a dragon. If normal settings were followed, how could a creature as smart as a giant dragon settle down in a place full of unfavorable environments?

When Bing Fist climbed to the top of the mountain, he happened to see the evil dragon emerging from the cave, and then when he raised his head, a stream of flames spurted out dozens of meters long, which was completely telling me that I was not to be trifled with. If someone with the strength of Bingquan saw this situation, wouldn't he dodge quickly? That's why he complained, but it's a pity that there is a saying that you will not live if you do something wrong. Just after he complained, he was suddenly kicked in the back, either by someone else or by Louise who he had put in the bag. Although she was tied up, Louise could still stretch and contract her body, so the kick just now was actually quite heavy. However, if it were normal, he would only stumble one step after being kicked. But the problem is that this is on a ridge, and in front of it is a slope of the mountain that is about the same size as a cliff. Bing Fist stumbled forward, and his feet immediately fell into the air, and the whole person followed. Fell down. However, in desperation, Bingquan turned back and grabbed the edge of the sack, and then pulled Louise down. The two people just rolled down the steep hillside into the valley.

According to the setting, anyone who enters the valley is equivalent to entering the script, so the evil dragon has already identified them as the ones who came to slay the dragon when they rolled down. Of course, as long as these two people don't take the initiative to attack, the giant dragon will not attack them first, but unfortunately, these two are not tourists, so they don't know about this setting, so when they see the giant dragon heading this way, When they came over, the idiot Ice Fist attacked instinctively, and then he and Louise were blown away by the dragon's wings.

Even if it attacks actively, the dragon still targets the brave, so both Bing Fist and Louise managed to save their lives.

Louise sat up immediately after falling to the ground. Thanks to the advantage of the devil's physique, Louise, who inherited the physical characteristics of the succubus, was very resistant to beatings. After being thrown down like this, she was actually restored to action by the ice fist.

Due to the attack just now, the sack was rotten, and Louise was able to get out of the sack in a few clicks. Looking left and right, I immediately found a broken stone pillar. Now only a small section of this stone pillar is exposed on the ground, and the fracture is very sharp, and because the lower part is still in the ground, it plays a fixed role, making it the best knife.

It wriggled to the side of the stone pillar like a caterpillar, then moved up to rub it against the stone pillar with its hands tied behind its back, and the rope broke with a snap. After the arms were free again, the ropes were just decorations, and they were all untied in a few clicks. but. Louise had just broken free from the restraints and climbed up when she suddenly heard a roar from behind. When she turned around, she saw Ice Fist rushing toward her.

"Ah..." Louise screamed instinctively when she saw this situation. Then I caught up to the top of the mountain and was attracted by the scream, and saw Louise at once.

Seeing Louise here, Ye Ying just jumped up without me reminding her, and her figure immediately turned into a ball of black smoke and dissipated in the air. At the same time, a faint crack suddenly opened next to Louise. Then I saw a large black smoke quickly pouring out of the cracks and converging into the image of Ye Ying and me in the blink of an eye.

Yeying's dream travel ability is really super easy to use. It is more convenient than teleportation. The most important thing is that it consumes less, has zero cooldown, and can be used without interruption. It is the absolute first auxiliary skill in melee combat.

"Where are you going?" I suddenly stepped in front of Bing Fist, and then I turned the hook and sickle spear that Eternity had transformed into forward and blocked Bing Fist's path.

When Bingquan saw this situation, he immediately dodged, and then rushed to the side to bypass me. I almost instinctively raised my hand and threw out a sword light.

In fact, sword light does not necessarily require the use of a sword. As long as the weapon has a sharp edge and a certain length, sword light can be used, such as long knives, spears, etc. However, people are sometimes accustomed to calling what comes out of a knife a sword energy, and what comes out of a gun is a spear thrust. In fact, they are all the same thing, just called differently.

The blood-colored spear thorn I threw out with the hook sickle gun turned into a half-moon and flew away. Ice Fist was so frightened that he stopped and turned around, but it was still a little slower. Half of the forefoot of the left foot that he stretched forward was covered by it. It was cut off, and even a few fingers on his right hand were cut off, but these were not fatal injuries, and apart from a little blood, it was no big deal. However, the spear thrust that failed to kill Bing Fist had unexpected results.

My attack power is well known. Spear thrust is a skill rather than a normal attack, and its power is even greater. How could it be possible that just cutting off half of the paw and a few fingers would disappear? The Spear Moon Blade, which barely consumed any energy, moved forward, and then hit the brave man from behind who was confronting the evil dragon in front of everyone's surprised eyes. Then, in a bloody light, he was supposed to lead many people who came. The brave man who was slaying the dragon by a tourist player died just like that. However, things did not end simply, because the moon blade was still moving forward after killing the hero.

The brave man uses the hero template, while the evil dragon uses the boss template. The characteristics of a hero are that he has high attack power, good luck, and may have relatively good equipment, but in the end he is still an ordinary person, so although he is more capable than a dragon, his own defense is completely incomparable to a rough-skinned and fleshy dragon. Precisely because this guy was too fragile, the light blade only consumed part of its power after cutting his body, and the main body was still moving forward, and finally hit the evil dragon's claws, leaving a long line on its front claws. Only after a clear mark has it completely disappeared.

At that moment, everyone present was petrified.

The brave man has been killed, but the dragon is still there. Is this a magical situation? That's not how the script was written!

"Ouch..." Compared to the entanglement and shock of the players, the evil dragon with the boss template reacted the fastest. According to the script, his mission is to fight these dragon slayers, and, according to the original script, he should give priority to attacking the brave ones. However, now that the brave man is dead, he will attack the second target - the person who attacked him.

Originally, when the hero was around, this dragon could still fight according to the script, but after the hero was gone, this guy completely returned to his true nature. The giant dragon that had no target to restrain completely exploded. First it flapped its wings to fly away several people who had attacked him before, and then it flapped its wings and rushed towards me in a straight line.

"Holy shit, what are you going to do?" I was startled when I saw the dragon charging towards me, and quickly pulled the reins. Yeying jumped directly into the dream space, and emerged from the side the next second. As a result, he felt a hurricane pressing down on his head as soon as he appeared.

"Holy shit!" I didn't expect that the dragon could capture our position so quickly, and hit it with its tail. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and felt the changes in the surrounding airflow immediately.

It was too late to dodge. No matter how fast Yeying was, he couldn't dodge the attack instantly. It still took some reaction time. At the moment, I could only take back Ye Ying and summon Jingjing to help. This is the only thing that can be done with a single thought using the zero-interval skill.

when.

With a loud noise that made people's eardrums ache, Jingjing and I were hit by the tail more than one meter deep into the ground, but the dragon's tail was indeed blocked.

Seeing that we were not dead even after catching a tail, all the onlookers dropped their glasses on the floor.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not here to slay the dragon. What are you doing with me?" Jingjing and I used our strength to lift off the dragon's tail. The two of us jumped out of the hole we had just been smashed into, but the other party seemed completely Without the intelligence of a normal dragon, he is just an impostor with the strength and appearance of a dragon.

The dragon didn't listen to me at all, turned around and spit out a mouthful of dragon flame. The crowd standing behind me immediately screamed and fled, but the expected pain did not appear. (To be continued) rq! ! !
