Chapter 1383 Hidden Arrow
No one knows whether the object the two thieves want to obtain is dangerous or whether it has a built-in mechanism. If it is, can Lilea really be safe once it is triggered?
I can't let her be involved in this risk. At the same time, I can't let other people be involved in the risk, because they are all my family and my friends.
Unless someone has strong resilience and poison resistance, looking at the entire villa, there is no one else who satisfies these two points at the same time except me.
Lilea still persisted, she said: "I am an expert, I will be careful."
I also insisted: "But you don't have a strong physique or poison resistance."
"Then do you have what it takes?" Lilea's starry eyes blinked. At this moment, her eyes revealed a kind of persistence: "If you have an accident, many people will hate me forever."
"But if anything happens to any of you, I will hate myself forever."
No longer arguing, I handed my hand to Emily and said calmly: "Cut me."
Emily stared at me for a moment, nodded, took a step forward, instantly drew the sword, and then sheathed the sword again. A large piece of flesh was instantly cut off from my arm.
Deep bones are visible.
"What are you doing!" Cagalli exclaimed. She hurriedly called for someone to find the medical kit, but I stopped her.
Next to her, Phoenix clenched her fists and looked at my arms tremblingly. Although her eyes were full of trust in me, she couldn't understand why I wanted Emily to chop me.
Not only the two of them, but all my family and friends who saw me being chopped down immediately screamed in surprise. Some went to find the medical kit, while others looked panicked.
"Look at my wound," I said to Lilea, and at the same time, I also said it to everyone.
I saw that the arm that had lost a large piece of flesh was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The new granulation, the ever-growing blood vessels, and the constantly weaving and connecting muscle fibers are like miracles, displayed for everyone to see without any concealment.
"Xiao Yi, your recovery speed is fast again," Mr. Taylor said calmly from the side.
He is the only one among these people who has no expression on his face, because he understands my mysterious body far better than I understand it myself.
"Did you see that?" I said to Lilea: "As long as it's not a fatal blow, I can recover. So, it's safest for me to do this kind of thing."
In order to prove it, he even harmed himself.
Finally, Lilea stopped arguing. She jumped down from the chair, handed the short blade to me, and said, "Be careful, and don't do stupid things again in the future."
I smiled at her and rested for another ten minutes. After the wound was completely healed, I got on the chair, held a short blade in my hand, and started cutting the partition under Lilea's guidance.
Because I am not a professional, the progress of the work is very slow, but fortunately, everything is relatively safe for the time being, and there are no sudden accidents.
After more than half an hour of cutting work, I finally cut the partition into a square rectangle.
After that, I slowly removed the rectangular partition in an extremely cautious manner.
There is a space inside the partition. I picked up the magic stone lamp and illuminated it. The space was not big. There was a box in the innermost part of the space.
I carefully took out the box. Just as the box was about to leave the space, a soft sound rang in my ears.
The sound seemed to be caused by the friction between the metal chain and the wooden board. It was slight but very harsh.
I feel bad, I'm afraid this is some kind of mechanism!
While I was thinking about it, I heard a buzzing sound, and a sharp strong wind hit me. I quickly turned my head to try to avoid this strong wind, but it came too fast and sudden, and besides, my arms were still stretched out flat. It is impossible to dodge by clinging to the inner slot of the box.
Along with the sound of broken bones and flesh, I felt a sudden coldness in my shoulder, and then, the severe pain was like a rolling river, constantly impacting my nerves.
But I have already experienced too much pain, and this pain is nothing for the time being.
Resisting the pain, I continued to pull the box out.
Then, strong wind continued to shoot out, piercing my body.
"Blood!" Lilea's exclamation sounded from below: "Xiao Yi, you are injured!"
"It's okay." I endured the pain and said in a natural tone, "It's a small injury."
As the metal box was gradually pulled out, my body was filled with more and more hidden arrows.
Fortunately, I have been deliberately avoiding the head, otherwise, I would have become a hedgehog long ago.
While enduring the severe pain, I tried to joke with myself to distract from the impact of the severe pain on me.
Finally, the metal box was dragged out of the compartment. Seven hidden arrows were inserted into my shoulders, three on the left and four on the right. It was very painful.
After the metal box was torn off, I discovered that there was a metal chain connected to one side of it. It seemed that this was the key to triggering the hidden weapon.
I cut the metal chain with an Odachi sword and gently handed the metal box down.
"Xiao Yi, your shoulders," the person below said in horror.
"It's okay," I said, "You guys take this first so I can deal with these things on my shoulders. I'm constantly being pricked by these things. It really hurts."
Lilea, who was wearing gloves, quickly took the metal box. My hands were empty and I immediately thought of a way to pull out the hidden arrow.
I have to say that the hidden arrow pierced quite deep and was quite painful. It seemed that it penetrated the muscles and injured the bones. If this was replaced by Lilea's small body, even if it could be cured, it would probably take a long time. There is no time to fight anymore.
Pulling out the hidden arrows one by one, I saw blood emerging from the wounds and dripping down my arms.
The foreign object was taken out, and I felt a lot more comfortable. I shook my shoulders and told him to wait until I got down before unpacking the box. Then I picked up the magic stone lamp and continued to look at the space inside the partition.
I want to see what mechanism fired the hidden arrow.
When the beam of light shone into the mezzanine, I saw that on the top of the mezzanine, several crossbows were erected. These crossbows were directly aimed at the cutouts in the partition and were pulled by a rope.
I continued to look along the rope and found that the rope was connected to the metal chain I had just cut off. No wonder a crossbow arrow would shoot at me as soon as I moved the metal box. It turned out to be this.
However, when I glanced at the connection between the metal chain and the rope, I saw that behind the rope, there was another box, which was in the shape of a rectangle.
"What is that?" I asked confused.
"Xiaoyi, have you finished reading? Come down quickly when you're done," Cagalli shouted from below.
"Wait a minute," I said, "There's something else inside."
"Is there anything else?" Cagalli's voice came from below: "Is there anything else?"
"It's also a box, rectangular. Wait for me and I'll take it down right now."
As I said that, I stretched out my hand to reach for the rectangular box.
