Chapter 531: How to Fight It
No matter what, a mere ghost couldn't stop the footsteps of dozens of elite hunters, not even the three five-star hunters present. Under the condition of bare hands, everyone's combat power has been wiped out to a similar level, and even if anyone makes the slightest abnormal move, they will be quickly subdued or even wiped out.
But the problem is not here, but on the "unknown". No one can be sure whether there are one or two enemies, or even whether they are the only ones in the entire cage who are still conscious. What the mysterious purple potion in Eamon's hand could do, the dozens of hunters in the cage had seen with their own eyes. The companion who was recruited would speak and act as usual, but at the critical moment when they were fighting side by side, they would deliver a fatal blow from the back to themselves.
Invisible fear is like a plague, more chilling than the most powerful monsters. In the chaotic battle where Wang Li's hunting group had just boarded the sand boat, the hunters who were like frightened birds no longer dared to even dare to be in the same room, even the slightest change in acquaintances could lead to a meaningless fight.
In a battle where everyone is in danger, how many of their companions have died under the hunting weapons of their own people for unknown reasons. What's even more frightening is that even if one of the two sides of the fierce battle returns to the Hunter Ancestor, the survivors can't be sure if he really betrayed or if it's just his own misjudgment.
Now that dozens of hunters are in the same room, as long as there is a slight chance, no one will instigate them, and the companions of the cup bow and snake shadow will recreate the chaotic battle situation at that time in a moment.
"Orson, help me open this damn cage." Lu Xiu took a deep breath and said back with red eyes.
As soon as the words fell, in the corner where no one noticed, the topless orc bowed his waist, his feet were vigorous, and he rushed towards the iron fence with an arrow step. The little dragon man turned sideways to give way to his sprint, and Orson lay his whole body outside the cage door with a "thump".
The hideous face that suddenly appeared in front of him interrupted Master Peng's thinking, and the old hunter leaned back, subconsciously assuming a posture of battle. As if not seeing the hunter's provocation, the orc grabbed the lock on the iron cage and shook it vigorously.
The shape of the cast lock was inconvenient to exert force, and Orson tried to pick it with his fingernails or even bite it with his teeth, but he couldn't shake the lock for half a minute. The orc scratched his head as he climbed the iron fence, lowered the wet lock, and glanced to the other side of the cell door.
"What is he doing?" Seeing Orson who looked like a monster tossing in front of everyone for a while, the hunter in the cage couldn't help but ask. The strange man crawled sideways, shaking his body and rocking the cell door. The muscles of the orc's arms bulged, and he grabbed the iron grate and broke it horizontally, and the solid iron grate with the thickness of his wrist bent to the sides in an arc visible to the naked eye. There was a grunt in Orson's chest, and the green tendons on his forehead appeared, and he tried again and again, and finally a gap between the two iron grates was vacated for people to pass through.
"Hell...... That's solid! The hunters blinked, the iron bars of the cells were made of the load-bearing beams of the makeshift board room, not to mention people, even small monsters could not necessarily bend it. This short, unattractive man had shrunk in a corner from the beginning, and who would have thought that it would burst out with jaw-dropping power in an instant.
"Who is this guy?" Master Peng's Adam's apple moved up and down.
"Victim, it's the kind of medicine you said - Orson, it's okay." Lu Xiu beckoned, and the naked hunter pulled out of the cell door and staggered back to the young man's side, "It's hard to explain in one sentence, but if any of you fall under the potion of that gang......" he pointed to his nose, "you should be like him, and be at my disposal." β
"Ridiculous!" Before everyone could react, the five-star hunter took the lead in blocking the hole in the cage, using his back to stop his companions who were about to move, and warned him, "Exercise restraint and don't listen to this kid." He turned his head, squinted at the rescuers and said, "How can you prove it?" - I've never heard of anything like this in all my years of hunting. β
"I bet you haven't heard of potions that can turn people into monsters." Lu Yingying didn't save any face for the five-star hunter, and pointed at Ao Sen, who was squatting on the ground, and shouted, "How do you want us to prove it?" Did you dissect him on the spot? β
The hunters in the cage were silent one by one, and at this time, whoever proposed to escape first probably had a great chance of being a renegade affected by the potion. The people in the cage could only look at the hole by the door with eager eyes, praying that Master Peng would let go of the barrier by himself, and at the same time fantasizing about who could stand up and be the first to eat crabs.
"What are you still grinding on? Hunters are really stubborn! The little scribe jumped to his feet in a hurry. The teenagers risked their lives to sneak into the sand boats, and witnessed the death of two boatmen, only to find a companion who had been besieged for many days, but they did not expect that the other party would not cooperate because of this forward-looking reason. Every minute she stayed here was more likely to be discovered, and the girl was not very worried about the hunters in the cage, but feared that the next danger would implicate her companions.
"Boom!" As Lu Yingying paused, there was an irregular shaking under the deck. The floating ash on the ceiling fell in a plop, and the sound of the bilge rubbing against the sand could be faintly felt.
"Oops, the boat is already moving, we don't have time!" Feeling that the floor was pulling in the direction of the bow of the boat, Lu Xiu hurriedly held on to the things around him and cried out in a lost voice, "Senior...... Whoever you are, you have to decide right away, this ship is about to go into battle! β
The old hunter fought in his mind, and poked his head out of the cage: "Say it again, who are you?" β
"Specially selected hunter Lu Xiu, senior." The hull was shaking more and more, and it was the dragon striking ship that was moving out of the sunken bunker, and once the bottom of the boat entered the flat sand, the speed would quickly rise in the strong wind.
"Well, hell...... As a result, you still have to be at the mercy of a ghost. Master Peng gritted his teeth, "I'm Peng Yunian, if the little ghost is a hunter in Golden Feather City, he should have heard my name." I'm in charge of this ship, and I'm ashamed to be a prisoner for days - cover knife, ghost hand? He didn't let the way open, but said loudly to the other two five-star hunters in the cabin, "Count the number of people, disperse in small groups, and we will escape with the imps." β
Even with Lu Xiu's assurance, the old hunter still seemed overly cautious. It wasn't his personality - there were more than fifty hunters on board the dragon strike when he set out, and now there were only thirty-seven left, and all the losses in between had occurred in less than half an hour of boat fighting. If there were another battle like that, not to mention how many people would die, those who were still alive would have completely lost the courage to fight again.
"What you just said...... Can you really command someone affected by a potion? Ah Yuan asked in a low voice to Lu Xiu. Confined by three five-star hunters, the prisoners and rescuers are more than ten meters apart - the teenagers carry weapons and hunting props that are as tempting as psychedelic drugs to the possible apostates.
"I'm bluffing, bluffing them a little." The boy only grimaced at the one-star hunter, "If you don't do that, how can these guys be willing to escape?" β
"Hey! What if someone really gets hit? Aren't they dangerous? Ah Yuan quietly turned back, and the hunters behind him walked forward in groups of four, but they still deliberately kept a relatively safe distance between them, and it seemed that the previous battle had left a lot of shadows on them.
"There will be no danger." The young man made a gesture of reassurance, a little blood crawling in his pupils, shallow to maintain the ability of red pupils, "If any of them move, I will be the first to notice it." What's moreβ" Lu Xiu's head was tilted towards the inseparable Orson, "just showed him his hand, and I don't think anyone will want to touch his moldy head for the time being." β
"One last question." Ah Yuan raised a finger and looked up and down at the young man who was a head taller than himself.
"What?"
"Are you really the Chosen of Deacon Maureen?" The one-star hunter asked curiously, "What is his personal training ground like?" Is the ground covered with gems? β
"That hurts people." Lu Xiu replied truthfully, "But there are a lot of flashing stones on the gate of the training ground. β
"Indoors?" Ah Yuan almost screamed, and then banged his head, "Ah! I knew it...... I really can't envy it......"
"Little friend Lu Xiu." The old captain followed in two steps, "Where are you taking us?" β
"Weapons room." The dragon man said, "Let everyone get the equipment back as soon as possible, no matter what they do next, they will at least have the ability to protect themselves." β
"Nope." Master Peng grabbed the young man, "We have to get off the boat as soon as possible." β
"Master Peng, are you crazy?" The boy couldn't believe his ears, he tapped on the bulkhead, the dragon ship was not specially equipped with a soundproofing layer, from here you can clearly hear the sound of the wind outside the ship and the sound of sand flowing hitting the hull, "There is a sandstorm outside, if you get off the ship without protection, you will die." β
"We can't stay on the boat for a second longer." The old hunter explained, "Those people are afraid that they want to fight the Fengshan Dragon, and we are on the ship, and we will be their helpers in attacking the ancient dragon species at one point. β
"Wouldn't it be nice to take the ship back?" Lu Yingying said, "We didn't encounter many enemies when we came, and more than thirty elite hunters couldn't even handle a few nights?" β
"It's not that simple." The five-star hunter called the Ghost Hand spoke, "Even if everyone could pay attention to no longer being affected by that potion, the boatmen on the ship would have been tricked. They have dozens of innocent shipwrights as hostages, and we're not like the crazy guys. β
"Without our help, it would be impossible to defeat the Fengshan Dragon with only the six hunters he brought." Master Peng analyzed, "He spared our lives until now, nothing more than letting us help fight at a critical moment." As long as we get off the ship, even if we die in the desert, it will not be his wish. β
"But ......"
"Boom!" Without saying a word, the hull shook violently again. It was as if the dragon ship had been hit by a huge hammer on the side of the ship, and a strong thrust pushed the full cabin of hunters to starboard.
The hull of the ship still did not stop moving, and dozens of meters in front of everyone in the corridor, a "rattle" sound sounded from the cabin. The wooden bulkheads, even with their steel reinforcements, were still overwhelmed and sunk inward. The deformed chamber pressed the corridor even narrower, and a piece of blue-gray rock broke through the bulkhead, exposing itself to the hunters.
"The battle has begun...... moment the cabin exploded, the breath outside the cabin drifted in wisps, Lu Xiu trembled all over, and his red pupils almost uncontrollably launched with all his might, "We have nowhere to escape." β
The cyan boulder was pulled out of the bulkhead with a single blow, leaving only an irregular cavity the size of a room. At the moment when the blockade was removed, the strong wind outside the ship blew into the cabin. The intensity of the storm had somehow exceeded the standard of the union level 12, and the sand and gravel poured into the cabin like flowing water.
The wind blew unscrupulously in the corridor, blowing out all the lighting in the cabin in an instant, even the lamps hanging on the wall were forced to blow away from the wooden walls, and the unlocked hatch was blown down and flew along the corridor. Lu Xiu hurriedly pulled out his heavy sword and inserted it into the cabin, holding Lu Yingying with one hand, trying not to be swept upside down by the wind.
"What was that?" Ah Yuan grabbed the edge of the door with both hands, and his body was already sideways in the wind.
"Fengshan Dragon's Fang!" Luciu replied, "It's attacking the hull!" We're going to have to change our plans! β
"Go to the warehouse!" Master Peng shouted at the top of his voice, "I have to find some materials to plug the hole!" β
