Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 746: Hidden purpose

Views:

Listening carefully with his ears pricked up, Chu Yuan could clearly hear the rustling sound of large creatures passing through the green bushes.

Ten, nine, eight, three, two, one.

He silently counted the number one in his mind, and a huge silver wolf came running towards him.

"No problem. Orcs have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and will move towards the scent I leave behind.

They will also be aware of my hiding place and the traps I have set."

As Chu Yuan was thinking this, the giant silver wolf's foot tripped over a thin fishing line.

A heavy stone the size of a basketball fell from a big tree and rushed towards the three people on the back of the silver wolf.

By jumping to the right, Lotkar simply avoided the attack, but he was unaware that he had fallen into a new trap.

A net lifted up the wet soil and closed in on Lotkar, who was in the center of the trap.

"yellow flower."

At Yang Yu's command, Iyas spread out a golden ripple with herself as the center, instantly repelling the large net that was wrapping around them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Yuan jumped out from his hiding place.

The magic longbow was charged with energy, and it shot out a golden arrow containing a deadly poison.

The magic arrow pierced the sky, but only made a sound as small as a mosquito's buzz.

First use a trap that seems stupid at first glance to attract attention, and then use a second trap to attract attention again. This is Chuyuan’s usual method of hunting prey.

In order to capture the lingering scent in the air, the orcs will maintain their speed at a stable point while moving.

This method can certainly improve tracking efficiency, but because it is always in motion, it may not be able to detect some more subtle smells.

Taking advantage of this, Chu Yuan made one trap very "conspicuous", and the second trap was used to erase as much scent as possible with the help of bats.

When the second trap was launched, many people would have the thought “there is actually this trick” flash through their minds, causing them to hesitate for a moment.

And this moment of hesitation was enough to cost them their lives.

However, in Chu Yuan's sight, Yang Yu seemed to have caught his archery action in advance. He raised his shield and threw his poisonous arrow away.

Regardless of how Yang Yu noticed him, the golden ape put the magical bow on its back and climbed onto the branch of a big tree like a gecko.

He opened his mouth and took a deep breath, and his chest swelled like a balloon.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening [explosive sound wave] spurted out from Chu Yuan's mouth.

Lotkar lowered his body and led Yang Yu and others to resist the pressure brought by the sound waves.

He rolled up his sleeves roughly, exposing his arms. Chu Yuan's arms were covered with hair. He threw them forward, and countless golden hairs fell off his arms and flew towards Yang Yu.

Although the toxins on these hairs are not as strong as those emitted by the poison glands on the hands, these poisons are all abilities given by that adult.

Unlike those poisons that can be easily cured by antidotes, these toxins will fundamentally destroy the organism's resistance to toxins, gradually corroding the magic power in the human body and becoming part of the poison.

Although this poison is not fatal, in the absence of an antidote, if it hits, it will slowly consume his physical strength.

Then, you can follow him closely.

When he's weakened enough, you can knock him down with one blow.

However, before Yang Yu could make a move, Bai Jin raised the staff in his right hand and released a dazzling blue shield, covering Yang Yu and the others.

Chu Yuan's poisonous hair sprayed onto Bai Jin's shield and fell to the side like raindrops.

Without chanting, ice arrows shot out from Bai Jin's left hand.

He jumped back, hooked his arms around the branches, dodged the ice arrows, and swung from the branches to the ground.

Using trees and bushes as cover, Chu Yuan pulled out a bow and arrow from his back and pulled the bowstring.

Iyas also pulled the bowstring at the same time.

For the first attack, Iyas used the magical skill [Guaranteed Hit Arrow] to be on the safe side.

The sharp arrow suddenly disappeared in the air, and the next second, it appeared in front of the big tree where Chu Yuan was.

Chu Yuan wanted to use a big tree to dodge, but he found that the arrow actually deviated in the direction of his movement.

This is a skill that uses the magic power in other people's bodies to accurately locate them. It is extremely difficult to avoid such a skill.

If you can’t hide, then don’t hide!

Chu Yuan simply let Iyas's arrow pierce through his arm and continued to maintain the posture of pulling the arrow. At the moment when the shield created by Bai Jin disappeared, several magic arrows shot out at a high speed.

Yang Yu took out He Meng from Lotkar's white mane and stood up.

Yang Yu jumped up along Lotkar's arm and threw He Meng towards the direction of the arrow like throwing a ball.

The magic arrow hit He Meng's body, but it didn't hurt at all. It instantly turned into a spot of light and disappeared.

Although he knew that the situation was urgent, He Meng still strongly condemned Yang Yu's behavior of throwing him out without even saying hello.

Before the war officially begins, can't you please ask me for a favor

As long as you ask me kindly, I can help you!

Humph—what do you take me for

He Meng felt a surge of resentment in his heart, but because he was in the middle of a battle, he could only keep it to himself.

The next second, Yang Yu used [Assistance Charge] to come to He Meng, scored twice, and caught He Meng.

However, Yang Yu did not throw it in the direction of Chu Yuan, but threw He Meng back into Bai Jin's hands.

It is difficult for Bai Jin to support the team's defense alone.

It would be a troublesome matter if the golden ape took advantage of the situation and sneaked in, and the team was poisoned by a poison that was difficult to dispel.

Before leaving Qinghe Volcano, Yang Yu vaguely sensed that thing was coming.

Yang Yu did not forget that he still had a mission to cure the real king of this country.

Judging from all the signs, the creature that shot an arrow from behind the Wanzhang Lion definitely did not want to let the Wansheng Kingdom gain the upper hand.

When the poison hit the Wanzhangshi, he did not pursue.

You know, because of the nature of that poison, the more intensely a person moves, the more physical strength will be depleted.

As long as the other party is kept busy, there will be opportunities for assassination.

Moreover, after shooting only one arrow, he immediately chose to leave.

Normally, if a person really wants to take another person's life, even if he doesn't use a more powerful poison, it is reasonable to add a few more attacks to finish off the person.

Leaving so quickly means he has other purposes.

Just think about it, if the king of Wansheng was suddenly assassinated, what would happen to the fate of the country

Even if the young princess controls the government under the protection of Prime Minister Mindarak, it will be difficult to win back the scattered people's hearts in a short period of time.

If the Rose Empire launched a large-scale attack at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

The golden ape's purpose is extremely clear.

He wanted to keep the war at a state where it was neither going up nor down, with the Rose Empire having a slight advantage.
