The world is spinning
Turn back time a little bit——
When Anna saw the wall separating her and Cosette, she immediately realized that the other party might have the idea of defeating each other one by one. This was her first time working with Cosette, and she had no idea how capable she was and how long she could last.
However, Anna seemed to have no spare time to worry about others, and her situation was also very bad.
The exploding pink smoke was like a wall of smoke, advancing neatly and surely towards Anna.
Although Anna didn't know what it was, she knew that it had more than just an effect of blocking the field of vision. The smoke was too controlled.
So Anna raised her feet and ran towards the wall on the side of the street. She jumped and used the wall to use her strength. She turned around and jumped again to cross the wall.
Although the ranger can't fly up and down like in many martial arts novels, she can still try flying over walls and walls. It's very difficult to just block her in the street.
After jumping out of this street, you can make a half circle to help Cosette, or you can run a few steps back to ask Perrenli to come out and save the world. After all, it is not far from the hotel.
But just because the idea is correct doesn’t mean it can be implemented.
Anna jumped up against the wall without any problem for the first time, but the second time she stepped on it, she suddenly missed it. She clearly saw that there was a wall, but nothing happened when she stepped on it.
The sudden loss of foothold made Anna lose her balance, and she fell directly to the ground with a bang. Although she prepared to deal with the impact of the landing the moment she felt weightless, she still hit her chin and felt dizzy for a while.
Lying down in front of the enemy is not a good state. Anna's elf sense was keenly aware of the abnormal movement, and she rolled over without hesitation.
Where she was just now, something seemed to hit it, and she could hear the sound of metal hitting the ground. Anna judged by feeling that it should be a crossbow arrow, but there was nothing in her field of vision.
Illusion?
Thinking of the professional killer who came to look for trouble the day before, Anna's first reaction was illusion.
She hurriedly stood up with a carp kick, stared at the incoming smoke with wide eyes, moved her ears which were slightly pointed compared to ordinary humans, and immediately took out the Elven Curved Blade from her waist and waved it in front of her face.
It looked like it was being swung in vain, but at that moment a layer of fine sparks exploded on the blade, accompanied by the clanking sound of some metal object falling to the ground.
"As expected of a half-elf with tree elf blood, isn't it too easy to use arrows against you?"
A coquettish voice belonging to a woman came from the smoke. The specific location could not be pinned down, and the words she spoke were close to ridicule.
In normal times, Anna would emphasize that she is only a quarter of a tree elf, but she is not in the mood now.
Putting aside the inherent concepts of the elves, half-elves are actually a very excellent hybrid race. They have the characteristics of humans and elves without the shortcomings of humans and elves.
But a half-elf is not an elf after all, and her perception is not as sharp as that of a real elf. Mainly because Anna is very familiar with the sound of arrows piercing the air, and she can still handle it when the opponent shoots with a crossbow. If she uses a spell to launch an invisible attack...
The situation is very dangerous.
At this time, Anna heard the sound of arrows piercing the air again, but this time she did not use the Elven Curved Blade to fight back. Instead, she turned her body away like a top, allowing the arrow to hit the wall behind her.
While dodging, she took off the short bow on her back and fired an arrow in the direction of the arrow.
Just like before, the arrow she shot showed obvious deflection in her field of vision, as if the arrow shaft had been inserted into the river.
"It's so dangerous. Can the tree elf's archery hit the target just by sound?"
The tree elves can indeed do this. If a string of bells is hung on a vine, the tree elves can even determine which one it is through the subtle differences in the sounds of different bells, and hit it while blindfolded.
But this is still impossible for Anna, so her counterattack arrow probably just missed the target.
here we go again!
Hearing the sound of the bow string being loosened again from the smoke, Anna immediately moved her steps.
The other person can see her, but she can't. This is a huge disadvantage.
Anna ejected and started. She could clearly feel the crossbow arrow fired by the opponent passing through the air on the side of her waist and hitting the ground behind her side.
If she wanted to repeat her old trick and shoot back with an arrow, although she couldn't achieve the superb archery skills of the tree elf, it was just a matter of quantity. She would definitely be able to hit the target if she shot a few more times.
However, before she could draw the bow string, she heard a violent explosion from behind. Flames and shock waves hit her back, just like the crossbow arrow that had been shot at her suddenly exploded.
It was definitely impossible to fight back in this state. Anna felt as if she had been hit with a stick, and severe pain and burning sensations came from her back.
But Anna was very dexterous, and with the force of the explosion she simply rolled several times on the ground, trying to stay as far away from the explosion point as possible.
The rolling action may have involved wounds, and Anna had no time to use magic to treat her. She stared at the wall of smoke that was almost within reach and said in astonishment:
"Inject magic arrows?"
Spell-imbued arrows are a magic archer's specialty, that is, injecting spells into arrows and firing them. The biggest advantage is that it can greatly improve the range and accuracy of spells.
The race with the most magic archers is the tree elves.
"It's not that exaggerated. I just used a magic crossbow."
To be honest, even though she didn't know whether it was true or not, Anna still breathed a sigh of relief.
If the opponent is really a tree elf, then Anna has no hope of winning.
"No wonder the way the arrows are used is so childish. It's really an ugly imitation of the tree elf's archery skills."
"When I rip your pretty face open, let's see if you can still be tough-talking!"
These words seemed to break the opponent's guard, and the smoke that was pressed in dispersed a little, revealing a young woman. Even a half-elf with the beauty of an elf seemed a little ashamed.
But her dress and makeup are closer to coquettish than beautiful, and she is the kind of person who is not easy to mess with at first glance.
This woman's name is Laila, or at least she calls herself Laila, and her origins are unknown. It is generally believed that she was born in a slum and was involved in gangs, but the details are unknown.
She had been married to two men, and both of her husbands died suddenly within a year. Since she had a clear alibi each time and there was sufficient evidence to prove that it was suicide, Laila inherited her husband twice.
huge legacy.
But as the saying goes, you can't walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. When she married her third husband and tried to take action, she was caught by her husband's friend and was wanted and investigated thereafter.
The result is even more frightening.
Laila had been married more than ten times in five countries using more than a dozen different aliases, and she was able to obtain inheritances almost every time because she had directly or indirectly killed more than thirty people, all of whom were wealthy businessmen.
Or aristocrat, and it is still not fully known how many people she has killed. She is a veritable black widow.
And although she looks young on the outside, she is actually at least forty or fifty, because the earliest victims can be traced back thirty years ago.
After being jointly wanted, Laila had to travel to various countries to evade pursuit. A large amount of real estate and jewelry could not be taken away and were all seized. It felt like decades of hard work had been in vain.
But what Laila cares about is not money, she cares about the pleasure of success.
I don’t know what childhood experience caused her to grow up in such a twisted way. Since she couldn’t satisfy her desire to kill by making men fascinated, Laila joined the ranks of professional killers who took orders. On the one hand, she wanted to have fun, and on the other hand, she wanted to avoid the wind.
After the first class, I will return to my old career.
Because she is 100% a pure newcomer, Laila will cooperate with that pervert Zekusta, because no one except him is willing to lead a newcomer to work.
Being careful and cautious is the key to Laila being able to harm so many people without being caught. If you enter the profession of assassin, which you have never been involved in before, you must find a helper.
When Anna saw Lila's figure, she immediately shot an arrow, but as expected, the arrow went wrong and didn't hit anything.
At this time, the smoke had completely enveloped Anna, and there was pink smoke everywhere around her.
It felt very strange, as if she was drunk. Anna felt as if she had lost control of her eyes, her eyeballs were spinning randomly in her eye sockets, and her vision could not be focused at all.
This smoke does not just block the vision, it is more like a medicinal powder.
Anna was so dizzy that she couldn't stand still. Her hand loosened and the short bow fell to the ground. It was clearly at her feet, but she couldn't see it.
Lena's figure disappeared from the smoke again, and only her voice seemed to come from all directions:
"Half-elf, female, I haven't had good luck lately, but it doesn't matter, you won't last long."
Elves and half-elves are resistant to mental effects. Whether it is mind-affecting magic or poison, they have no effect on elves and half-elves.
The powder Laila uses is also specifically for men, which can make men lose their minds quickly and enter hallucinations. She has always used this method to kill her husband, and rarely makes a mistake.
For Laila, she believes that the most ideal target is Kemir, a pure warrior (the killers don't know that he is already a paladin), who has no ability to blow away the covered powder, and is also the easiest male to take the bait.
The so-called bad luck is because I finally waited for the opportunity, but met a female half-elf ranger whose medicine powder was not easy to take effect.
But as Laila herself said, it's not a big problem.
Resistance is not immunity after all. It is more difficult for women to take effect than for men, so wait a little longer.
Based on the principle of caution, the amount of powder used by Lena this time was more than the total amount used in previous killings. After all, the amount used was very small in order not to leave evidence, but this time there was no need to worry about it at all.
Anna's consciousness became increasingly blurred, as if even Laila's voice was far away from her ears...
