Chapter 576: Fighting Beasts (I)
The dim environment of the day and night in the underground part completely disturbed Henry's biological clock, and he didn't know how long he slept. The city of Naxa is all talking about what happened in the dueling arena. Almost every resident knows that there is a bloodthirsty warrior who is superior in martial arts.
Of course, there are also many family martial arts chiefs who are very unconvinced, and plan to teach this kid who doesn't know the height of the sky a good lesson, and the tavern is overcrowded for a while, some people are kind and soliciting, and some people are full of malice and want to take this opportunity to become famous.
Antleb sat in the corner of the tavern, and after listening to the news from his subordinates, he shook his head in disbelief and sighed softly: "This world is crazy! If it weren't for the boss telling me the truth, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to believe it was the truth. ā
Perhaps it was the Dark Elves who had been arriving from other places in recent times, so he entered the city in batches with all his men in the guise of mercenaries with little effort.
Like most places on the continent of Feren, the tavern is always the best place to spy on the rumors. But they never expected to hear such a powerful rumor as soon as they arrived, that there was a young dark elf warrior named Nime, who had just completed a miraculous twenty-eight consecutive victories here, and made his name resounding in Ust with blood and killing. Over Nassa.
There is no doubt that Nimes is Henry's pseudonym, and Robert has long sued Antleb about this. But now that half of the city's attention is focused on this small tavern, I'm afraid that it won't be possible to meet directly, so it's easy for people with a heart to see the problem.
Know that the dark elves have spent their entire lives in intrigue and betrayal. The talent in this area is high and scary. Even the slightest flaw will be infinitely magnified.
A Dark Elf Assassin saw the leader's hesitation. Very cautiously, Jian YƬ said: "Do we want to contact us secretly?" Anyway, no matter how suspicious these people are, they can't guess his true identity. ā
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Anteleb shook his head slightly: "No, don't act rashly yet, wait and talk." Don't you see a lot of people wearing noble badges over there? As soon as we take action, it will cause a ripple effect. ā
"Humph! There are forty of us now, and those little nobles have nothing to fear, and if they dare to cause trouble, they are guaranteed to be killed in less than an hour. As he spoke, the Assassin had a look of sin on his face.
Dark elf cities are known to be usually staffed by several powerful ruling families. There are also dozens of relatively weak families that manage together. A few of these ruling families usually controlled nearly half of the resources and armed forces, while the other minor nobles divided the rest. This also means that most of the small families don't have much strength, and some can't even get together twenty family soldiers.
Just as Antleb was about to say something, the entire tavern suddenly fell silent. He hurriedly raised his head, only to see a young man with two knives on his shoulder, with a cold and crazy look in his eyes, appearing at the staircase on the second floor, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Obviously, this is none other than Henry, who has just woken up. As soon as I saw so many people below, there were a lot of myself. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sneer.
No doubt. It was yesterday's provocation and massacre that worked. About half of the people in the audience were planning to recruit a warrior with strong martial arts, and the other half were here to see the excitement. Of course, there are very few who are ready to challenge and then become famous in one fell swoop. Although they each had their own ghosts, none of them made the first move.
In the cruel society of the dark elves, those idiots with low IQ and insufficient city government will not live to adulthood at all, so there will never be a brain-dead person who rushes up to provoke someone who is not pleasing to the eye, and there will be no nobles who stand up in front of everyone to solicit, and all the transactions will be completed quietly in private.
This is the Dark Elves, the most murderous, cunning, cruel, cold-blooded, and greedy race living in the main plane. These guys don't care about ethics at all, and they don't look down on the so-called legal order, and the only thing they can cherish is great power and supreme power, and they have been tirelessly trying to hold these two things in the palm of their hands all their lives.
Henry knows the dark elves quite thoroughly. He glanced at them all, and then spoke slowly, "I know that many of you are nobles of this city, and you are very interested in me. Similarly, there are those who want to know my weaknesses and then kill me in a duel. It's okay, I like challenges and kills, but before that, I'll go find a few monsters to warm up, and I hope those guys who are going to challenge keep their eyes open and see it well, otherwise the fight will be boring. ā
As soon as the words fell, there was a buzzing discussion in the tube, especially the faces of several dark elves who came to challenge were even more unkind, and one person even typed out in sign language: "Boy! I'm waiting for you! ā
Since the slightest noise in the Dark Regions can be deadly at times, the Dark Elves have invented a set of gestures that can be used to communicate, almost as if they were a second native language, and no one but themselves can understand what these complex gestures meant.
Henry smiled disdainfully, walked quickly to the iron cage on the other side, and said to the administrator Szodrin: "Prepare a more powerful monster, just forget about slaves like orcs, bear goblins, and gray dwarves, I want a truly ferocious beast." ā
"Uh...... I think a dirt troll should be able to meet your requirements, Lord of the Duel. May your furious battles please Goddess Rose, and trust her blessings. As he spoke, Administrator Szodlin snapped his fingers, only to hear a click, followed by a behemoth two and a half meters tall, weighing more than three hundred and fifty kilograms, and covered with a thick carapace, rushing out and crashing headlong into the front.
"Bang!"
With this loud noise, the cage made of pure gold was unexpectedly knocked out of shape, and the terrifying power made everyone present breathe.
For warriors, dirt trolls are arguably one of the most difficult creatures to deal with. This insect-gorilla-like hybrid has a tenacious vitality, a strong physique, a hard-to-tear shell, sharp teeth, thick arms, sharp claws, and not too low intelligence. Ability to use some simple traps and tactics. Even for most Dark Elves. It's also a tough enemy to overcome.
"Haha! This arrogant boy is going to be out of luck. A male dark elf warrior sitting in the corner sneered, raised his glass and drank it down. In his opinion, a monster like this could not have won with warriors alone without the help of priests and mages.
The other male warrior next to him also laughed and nodded: "That's right! May this earth monster send him into the arms of the Goddess. Hahaha! ā
For a moment the tavern was filled with sneering, and even the nobles who were planning to solicit had gloating smiles on their faces, waiting to see Henry's jokes.
Dirt Trolls are obviously not an easy enemy to deal with for the average warrior, but Henry's melee class is Juggernaut. The best melee class is at finding an opponent's weak point and killing them with one hit.
I saw him smile slightly and say to the administrator Szodlin, "It's a little weak, but it's barely enough to warm up." ā
Weak?!!! This arrogant guy thinks that the earth trolls are weak!!
Everyone looked at Henry's emaciated figure with the eyes of a madman, and even Antleb, who was hiding behind, couldn't believe it was true. In his eyes, the boss of his own boss usually has a very calm and rational face, not to mention arrogance, he can't even say anything a little overkill, but now he has become a completely different look.
Slowly pulling out the two long knives at his waist, Henry jumped into the Colosseum without saying a word. The moment he hit the ground, the earth troll charged violently. It was like a heavy tank, with a rumbling sound. The earth trembled slightly.
Like most underground creatures, this guy doesn't have a good eye, relying on hearing and sensing the vibrations of the ground, so even a small pebble falling on the ground within a few dozen meters will be easily captured.
Just when everyone thought that Henry was going to roll and dodge, he did the opposite, laughing wildly and meeting it, only to see two cold flashes of light, and the huge body of the earth troll took a few steps forward according to inertia, and then fell to the ground with a bang, struggling desperately, and died of convulsions in a few seconds.
A large amount of blood spurted out from the gap between the shells of the monster's head, the throat, and the windpipe had been severed.
Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but shudder, and their eyes were suddenly full of awe and fear. Keep in mind that the gaps in the Earthtrolls' shells are very small, never more than a centimeter, and almost no one will be able to hit such a small target during a fight, let alone in a charge.
It can be said that there is no second progression class other than Juggernaut that can do this. Of course, Juggernaut alone is not enough, courage, martial arts, judgment, agility, strength, indispensable, and finally a little bit of madness.
The reason why Henry dared to do this was because he took advantage of everyone's inattention and quietly blessed himself with a second-level magic "knowing the opponent".
This spell fills the caster's eyes with magical energy, and sees through the aura emanating from the enemy's body, so as to judge strength and weakness, and lasts for two minutes.
The view of everyone present at that time was blocked by the huge figure of the monster, and the rumbling noise of the charge just muffled the sound of the whispered chanting of incantations. Henry's clever use of the environment completes an almost impossible instant kill, which ignites the atmosphere of the entire tavern at once.
Szodrin raised his hands and shouted in a passionate voice: "Did you see that?!!! This is yesterday's dueling king! Today's Monster Slayer! He is Nimes from the dangerous wilderness, a crazy and great warrior. One hit! He used only one blow to take out a dirt troll that a patrol might not be able to handle! Rejoice! The prize money of two hundred and fifty gold coins will go to him. ā
