Chapter 25: Electrocution

"The mustachioed thief?" Wu Song's eyes narrowed into a slit suddenly, although the mustachioed thief's approach disgusted him, but the other party's strength Wu Song still recognized, in this jungle, Wu Song really couldn't think of anything that could be a superpower-level thief, he glanced at Lusha and asked, "Let's go over and have a look?" ”

"Good!" Lusa nodded, she was a little hesitant to rush over so recklessly, she was just a third-level superpower, even if her strength was stronger than the phantom light, it was very limited, she didn't think that the phantom light could deal with what she couldn't deal with, but if there was another thief on the side to take care of it, Lusa felt that the safety factor should be increased a lot, she thought about it and whispered, "Let's be careful, pay attention to safety, don't fight hard in case of any danger, go back immediately and join the rest of the caravan!" ”

"Understood." Wu Song agreed, but he was thinking in his heart that what this chick said was not nonsense, if she didn't run when she was in danger, she would stand there and wait for death.

Thieves are not a kind of charge, although Wu Song and Lusha both have good strength, but both of them understand what their position in the team is, so when they go to the area where the phantom light screams, they both invariably sneak first and then act.

Before becoming an earth warrior, all the thieves could learn was the primary stealth technique, although the stealth effect of the primary stealth technique was not bad, but the speed of the thief after stealth was reduced a lot, plus the two of them didn't know what was going on in front of them, and if they walked carefully, the speed would naturally not be fast, and the distance of just a few dozen meters, it took more than ten seconds for the two to grind over.

In Wu Song and Lusha's imagination, the phantom light was most likely attacked by some powerful mutated creature or a spirit master with ulterior motives to make that kind of terrible scream, but when the two of them rubbed into the place, they found that it didn't seem to be what they thought. The actual sight they saw was Phantom Light lying alone near a large rock, and at a distance of about five meters from him, Payne and Pearson were anxiously watching the Phantom Light spin around on the ground.

"What's wrong with him?" As soon as Lusa saw that the phantom light didn't seem to have been attacked, she immediately showed up and asked Payne.

"I don't know, I've just arrived." Payne shook his head, but Pearson on the side said in shock, "He must have been electrocuted?" ”

"Electric?" Rutha frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

At this time, Lusha had completely ignored Payne, the captain. Payne's indifferent expression didn't seem to care much about Lusa's ignoring her actions, and let her question Pearson.

"Hey... Pearson sighed and said, "Not long after you left, Captain Payne came back, he handed us the note marked with the coordinates, and then Captain Payne continued to explore the way, and the two of us began to dismantle these traps, but when we got here, we found that it was a hybrid trap of rotating arc and heart piercing, these two traps were next to each other, and we both dismantled separately, I was responsible for piercing the heart thorn, and Phantom Light was responsible for rotating the arc, I dismantled half of it, and I heard a scream from Phantom Light, I turned my head to look, He was already lying on the ground, and I guess he accidentally touched the trap and was electrocuted during the demolition. ”

"Bastard, looking for trouble!" Lutha cursed quietly, then pointed to the phantom light on the ground and asked, "Is that guy dead?" ”

"I guess I'm stunned." Pearson thought for a moment and said, "I don't feel any change in the soul power around me. ”

Humans, like other creatures, will overflow the soul power originally stored in the body after death, as long as there are other spirit masters around, it is not difficult to sense some changes in soul power.

"Damn it." Lutha frowned and scolded in a low voice, but even if she was scolding, her crisp voice didn't sound annoying, and the chick lifted the veil covering her face up with two white fingers and said, "We have to find a way to get that guy back, our thieves are not enough, and if we lose one more, it will inevitably affect the speed of the caravan's progress, and if we can't get out of this canyon before dark, it will be bad." ”

Listening to Lusha's words, several people nodded one after another, Wu Song saw some problems from the reactions of several thieves, originally, he thought that the captain Payne was in charge of this thief team, but now, it should be this little girl named Lusha who really has the final say.

There was no mercenary group stationed in Mill Town, and Wu Song had not followed such a larger caravan, so he naturally didn't know some of the inside story.

When the mercenary group escorts the caravan, in order to ensure the overall combat effectiveness, some adventurer thieves will be invited to be spies, in order to show respect for these adventurers, the mercenary group will often give up the position of the thief captain to the adventurer, but they can't fully trust the adventurer, so in this case, they will be one or two of their own people mixed in the thief team, these people are on the surface the identity of the regiment, but because of the mercenary group as a backing, in fact, they speak better than the so-called regiment leader.

Payne is an old oilman who has followed this kind of caravan escorted by mercenary groups for many times, and in this special situation, he wisely chose to shut up and let Lusha make up her own mind, but after Lusha put forward the idea of saving people, Payne pursed his lips and raised some different opinions.

"Pearson, did you see a glaring glare when the phantom screamed?" Payne asked, looking at Pearson.

"Nope!" Pearson shook his head and replied, "When the phantom light was electrified, I was removing the heart piercing thorn, and I happened to be facing away from it, and I only heard the cry of the phantom light, as if I didn't see any bright light!" ”

"That's not right." Payne shook his head and said, "The rotating arc is an electric range attack trap, and when it is triggered, there will be a large area of arc overflow, even if a part of the arc hits the phantom light directly, the other part will emit a strong light in the process of rotating and spreading on the ground, and that kind of light is extremely dazzling, Pearson has no reason not to see it!" ”

"What do you want to say?" Lutha looked at Payne coldly and asked, she already vaguely knew what Payne was trying to express.

"I mean, there's a good chance that the phantom didn't trigger the Spinning Arc Trap." Payne pursed his lips and said with his face as usual, "In addition to the fact that Pearson didn't see the bright light, the phantom light itself can also explain some problems, the rotating arc is very lethal, even a warrior or knight with strong resistance to attack has to peel off his skin if he is electrocuted to death, but the phantom light seems to be just stunned, don't you think it's strange?" Payne didn't give everyone a chance to think, "I think the phantom light didn't trigger the mechanism because of this, but there was a mistake when dismantling the mechanism box, and it was charged by the internal electricity of the mechanism box!" If this is the case, the phantom light may be affected at any time, and the inner circle of the trap box is likely to have mutated due to the interference of external forces, which means that we have to take considerable risks whether we go to save the phantom light or dismantle the mechanism. ”
