mountain forest.
Link waited patiently, and the situation didn't disappoint him. About three minutes later, there were 'srusting' footsteps not far away.
After lurking until now, about 3 minutes and 35 seconds have passed. Link's current dragon power recovery speed is 27 points per second. During this time, he has recovered more than 5,800 points of dragon power, and the consumption just now has been fully recovered.
This is the great benefit of the power of the flawless dragon.
As the opponent got closer and closer, Link quietly gestured to Nana, which meant: "I'll go first, you look for a chance to sneak attack."
Although Nana's strength has increased, she is still at the peak level of level 8. If she is asked to deal with a level 10 powerhouse first, there is a high probability that she will be instantly killed.
In fact, Nana is just a backup plan for Link, and if things go well, she doesn't even need to make a move.
Nana nodded. Feeling the strength of her opponent, she secretly clenched the Severing Dagger in her hand.
'Crack~cha~' The footsteps became slower and slower, and the other party seemed to feel something.
Link hid under the huge broad-leaved grass and squinted at his opponent. In his eyes, the bandit had already reached 30 meters away, holding a battle ax in his hand, bowed his body, and assumed a defensive posture.
The opponent is wearing ordinary leather armor, and his defense is very low. Whether it is Link's Wrath of the Dragon King or Nana's Severing Dagger, they can break through without hindrance.
The battle ax in his hand seems to be made of fine steel, which is a good weapon for ordinary warriors, but it seems too shabby for legendary powerhouses.
"Although the fighters in this world are very powerful, all kinds of materials are still scarce. This guy doesn't have a single piece of magic equipment, and he's completely blank." Link sighed. In terms of equipment, Link is at a great advantage.
At this moment, the other party walked another 10 meters, and his movements became slower and more vigilant.
When he walked through a bush, a mouse the size of a dog was frightened and ran away suddenly. The robber was startled, and instinctively turned his head in the direction of the mouse.
"Huh~" With a soft sound, Link activated the flash without hesitation, and his body disappeared in place. At the same time, he appeared behind the left side of the bandit's body.
This position is very particular, it is the blind spot of the opponent's attack, Link can attack with confidence, but the opponent can only dodge.
'Chih' Link stabbed the opponent's back with a sword, and at the same time, his left hand pointed towards the opponent's dodging direction, and a ball of space that could not be distinguished by the naked eye rushed out, just blocking the opponent's dodging position.
The bandit Oyes felt the murderous intent suddenly appearing behind him, and was taken aback. He really jumped forward as Link expected.
When he was in the air, he forcibly twisted his body around, raised the ax in his hand like lightning, and was about to use combat skills on Link.
'Om~' The ball of space exploded, enveloping the opponent.
'Spin! '
This time, Link didn't use restraint or vibration, but used the power of distorting space to build a rotating force field. The huge force immediately acted on Oyes, causing his body to rotate in the air involuntarily. .
Surprised, Oyes immediately adjusted his movements, and then forcibly activated his combat skills.
"Huh~" The bloody light group appeared again and rushed towards Link.
His blow was a bit reluctant, and after being aroused, he almost completely lost his balance.
Link had predicted his attack a long time ago, and used the flash a moment earlier. When the bloody light ball arrived, it only hit Link's phantom, and the real Link appeared on the side of Oyes' body, aiming at the opponent's back. Another sword.
The angle of this sword is impeccable, and the timing is also perfect. It happens to be the moment when the opponent activates his combat skills and loses control of his body. The opponent has no time to react at all.
'Pfft~' The robber was stabbed in the back, but the blade didn't go in. Halfway through, Link suddenly found a mark on the robber's neck. With a move in his heart, the sword turned and avoided the robber's heart, but only stabbed pierced his lungs.
But even if the lung was pierced, it would still be a terrible injury. Under the great pain, the bandit let out a howl, and his body, which was still in the air and had not landed, lost all strength at once.
Link drew back his sword, and with a twist of the blade, he cut off the opponent's arm holding the axe.
'Plop~' The robber fell to the ground, and he had no resistance.
With Blink, Link can easily deal with this kind of level 10 fighter with average combat experience.
Link stepped forward, stepped on the opponent's body writhing on the ground due to severe pain, pointed his sword at the opponent's throat, and asked in a low voice, "What happened in Spring Leaf Town?"
"Kill me!" The robber wanted to spit bloody phlegm at Link, but as soon as he tried hard, he coughed violently. The lung injury made him spit out blood, almost suffocating.
Link turned his sword and nailed it to the fingers of the bandit's left arm.
"Ah~~~" the bandit screamed, seeing Link's intention to pierce his finger with a sword, he immediately shouted: "We poisoned Balha's woman, he is crazy!"
"No wonder." Link was stunned, and Balha was afraid. Everyone in Spring Leaf Town knew about it. Although Link hadn't been in the town for a short time, he had heard about it.
Such a strongman would be afraid of guilt, it must be out of extreme love, now that the blood-eyed bandit has killed his true love, it is no wonder that Balha is not crazy.
But Link was a little strange: "You are just a group of bandits..."
"We are a mercenary group!"
"Okay, Mercenary Group, aren't you afraid of revenge from the lord of Springleaf Town when you confront the lord of Springleaf Town like this? You have to know that Balha's father is the great lord Baal, and he is a level 7 strongman."
"Hey~" the robber laughed, with blood dripping from his mouth: "We are slaves, we are bastards, we have nothing but one life, why dare you? Besides, Barr is also in trouble, so how can he be free? Just ignore us, haha."
Big people have big people's troubles. Link understands this. For example, when he cleaned up the bandits in Field Wilderness, he only let the mercenary group do it instead of doing it himself. He was busy himself.
Link asked another question: "Then how do you untie the collar of the slave?"
This question stunned the robber: "Undo the collar of the slave, what do you want to do... I understand, you Aragus must have no good intentions, I can't say it!"
Although this sentence is negative, it has already given Link a message that there is a way to untie the slave collar, and the difficulty should not be too high, otherwise a simple bandit group would not be able to untie it.
This discovery made Link very happy. He looked at the robber again. He looked like he was dying, and his bones were quite hard. It might be difficult to pry his mouth open.
Link didn't waste any more time, and took a sword in his hand to end the guy's life.
There were three robbers before, but now I have killed two, and there is a level 9 one, Link thought for a while, and said to Nana: "Go, you go and protect Mirta and Rierta, I will kill them all and chase them down." soldier."
"Understood." Nana turned and left.
Link turned around and rushed towards the tree hole where he was before. This time he was only dealing with a level 9 bandit, which was easy to deal with, and Link was much faster.
Half a minute later, he rushed through the dense bushes to the location of the previous tree hole.
There were a lot of bloodstains scattered around the tree hole, which were left by the blood-eyed robber he killed. Link carefully observed the traces around him, and soon he found the footprints of the other party leaving.
"The speed of the other party is not fast, and the footprints are much deeper than normal... There are still blood dripping around. This robber should be walking with his companion's corpse."
Link followed along the footprints, and after about three minutes of chasing, he made a new discovery: "His speed suddenly increased. Based on the speed and distance, he should have heard the screams of his companions at this time, and he felt bad." , so it speeds up, but still not fast enough. '
Link also speeded up, chasing after him.
After chasing for five minutes, Link suddenly stopped. He saw a corpse on the side of the road, which was the first robber he killed. At the same time, the footprints on the ground disappeared. There is no trace.
Link suddenly became cautious: "The other party felt that he couldn't escape, so he dropped the body, then hid his traces, and changed to stealth?"
If Link was a warrior in this world, it would be hard to catch up now, but he's a magician.
The magic sword in his hand pointed forward, and said softly: "Clear omen!"
clear omen
Level 3 Arcane Magic
Description: Greatly improve the caster's observation ability, and at the same time filter out useless information.
(Note: use it to find the truth.)
After the magic was cast, Link felt that he was shaking, and then the world in his eyes changed. The sound of wind, insects, birds, the smell of vegetation in the air, etc., which were useless for tracking, all receded from Link's perception.
Link's world suddenly became quiet, and the surrounding scene became blurred. In the haze, a bloody smell came into his nose. There were two sources of this bloody smell, one of which was very strong, which came from The corpse on the ground, the other is much lighter, pointing in a certain direction.
'The bandit is stained with blood from the dead body, and the smell of blood will guide me to him. '
Link maintained a clear omen, followed the guidance of the bloody smell all the way, and chased after it.
After walking about a hundred meters, Link stopped, pointed the sword in his hand at a bush 3 meters away, and whispered, "Come out!"
There was silence in the bushes at first, and three seconds later, a figure suddenly rushed towards Link, it was the robber!
"Om~" There was a soft sound, and the space was bound!
This bandit's strength is level 9. Link's space restraint input 2000 dragon power, his speed slowed down suddenly, as if entering a thick thick juice, he could only move one centimeter per second.
Link's magic sword waved again, canceling half of the space restraint, restraining the robber's body, but his head was in a normal space.
Looking at the robber's neck, there is also a slight scar, which should be left by the collar of the slave.
Dragon King's Wrath pointed at the bandit's forehead, and Link said softly, "I'm impatient. I want to know one thing. If you answer me, I won't kill you. If you can't answer, then..."
"You kill me!" The bandit stuck his neck and glared at Link through gritted teeth.
Link smiled. If the opponent looked at him calmly, then he would not be sure to ask the answer, but the appearance of the opponent was obviously a moment of courage.
With the support of blood bravery, people will appear very fearless, but this kind of blood bravery is time-limited, and it will decline after a long time. At that time, the instinct of human nature to protect itself will regain the upper hand.
Link slowed down for a while, giving him time to subside, and he said flatly, "I'll count to 10, and I'll make a decision for you during this time... 10... 9... 8... 3..."
He counted very slowly, and when he counted to 3, the robber let go: "Are you really willing to let me go?"
