Chapter 89 The Unexpected Strong Enemy (Part 1)
It is easy to train a warrior. If you train with a spear for a week, you can be considered a warrior if you can stab a salted fish. However, it is more troublesome to learn combat skills, which requires high physical fitness.
Usually, everyone starts doing daily training from a young age to strengthen their physical fitness and basic abilities in various aspects. If they then learn combat skills, they will get twice the result with half the effort.
The Sutton Barbarians have a very special advantage. They are born with a strong body, and their physical abilities are far stronger than ordinary humans. For Durer, there is no need for combat skills to deal with miscellaneous fish, but he was aroused to hunt.
I'm interested and don't want to tangle with these rotten fish and shrimps.
In an instant, Duler's body seemed to disappear due to the addition of combat skills. No one saw how he did it. The only picture that could be clearly seen was the next second after the combat skills were activated.
Duler's figure appeared outside the encirclement as if teleporting, and the cold light reflected by the swing of the sharp weapon almost spread across the city. The five people who raised their weapons and tried to besiege Duler fell to the ground as if they were struck by lightning.
He did not kill them because these people were not worthy of being prey. In Dürer's opinion, sending them away was just like sending away his classmates in the magic academy. They were just simple troubles.
Then he raised his head and looked at a very eye-catching peak in the entire mountain range with almost no vegetation cover.
Have you changed positions, or are you preparing a trap?
No matter what the reason was, Dürer, who was aroused to hunt, had no intention of letting his prey escape.
On the other side, Perrenli was watching the picture sent back by the Peeping Magic Eye with Philuffy through the magic screen in front of him.
To describe their feelings, there are only two words.
--Fear.
"Don't you say that most novice demon kings are weaklings?"
"I also heard what the veteran Demon King said, so I don't know!"
The two people who had planned to ambush suddenly panicked. The situation was completely different from what they expected.
"Maybe it's still too late to leave now. He's at the bottom of the mountain, and the terrain can buy him time."
"It has just rained, and the footprints are too obvious. They will definitely be caught up."
Perrenli rejected Philuffy's proposal, and it was too late for the two of them to run away based on their speed.
He thought he could ambush a wave, but when he saw that five people with the same plan were eliminated instantly, Pei Renli immediately understood that he was responsible.
To be honest, at this speed, there is no time to weave the runes, and even if the distance is widened, it will be shortened instantly.
Perceiving danger brings a vague sting, and it becomes more and more obvious. If I had known it earlier, I would not have needed to look at it with a remote sensing crystal ball.
Yes, this is also an important reason why remote sensing crystal balls are of little use. If you look at them casually, you will get in trouble with the boss, who will come along the network cable to beat you.
This is great, what should I do?
Continue to set the trap as originally planned? Or think of a way to escape without being tracked?
Time was running out, and Pei Renli had to rack his brains to find a way.
At this time, he glanced at the picture sent back by the Peeping Magic Eye. In just two sentences, Dürer's figure had completely disappeared.
"Look over there! What's that!"
Following the direction Philfi pointed, an obvious trace could be seen appearing in the forest below the mountain peak, like a wild boar that was rushing through the bushes and approaching quickly in their direction.
That's too late!
After waving away the Peeping Demon Eye and the Mystic Eye, Pei Renli pushed Phil Fei:
"There's no time to make arrangements. Just follow the plan and prepare to meet me."
"Okay... okay, I'll wait for you."
Philuffy was still more inclined to run away, but time did not permit any more words of advice.
When Philuffy walked away, Perrenli turned to look at the bottom of the mountain, and happened to make eye contact with Dürer, who was standing below, who had been rushing all the way.
Damn it, is this guy really a human?
Spellcasters can use a variety of varied and powerful spells, while martial artists can only temper their bodies. The result is that the physical fitness of a powerful martial artist has completely exceeded the scope of mortals.
However, Pei Renli did not panic. The height difference between his location and Du Leguang was almost twenty or thirty meters. If he wanted to get up, he had to either climb the rock with bare hands or go around the steep slope on the other side. Either way would be beneficial to him.
He immediately reached out and started weaving runes. As long as Durer entered the range of his spell, no matter how he came up, he would be hit head-on.
It's like soldiers defending a city from a high position. Those who attack the city first have to face the barrage of wood, rolling stones and arrows thrown at them.
It can be said that Pei Renli's choice of location was very correct, and he was not careless because he initially thought that the novice demon kings were weaklings. In other words, the so-called strategy is to despise the opponent, and to pay attention to the opponent tactically.
But after all, Pei Renli is just a pure newcomer who has traveled through time for more than a month. Although he is trying his best to absorb all the useful knowledge every day, his knowledge is indeed too little, and he does not know the powerful melee fighters at all.
What kind of inhuman existence is it?
Dürer stopped not because he was blocked by the terrain, but simply because he wanted to see who his target was.
Now that you've seen it, there's no need to waste any more time.
The duration of Swift Wind is very short, so although Durer's speed is very fast, it has dropped to a level that can be captured. At this time, Pei Renli's spell is also ready to go, and he plans to target Durer's climb up.
Attack instantly.
"Power rises!"
Increasing strength does not increase speed. It only strengthens one's muscle strength through Qi. Why do you use this trick?
Just as this doubt popped up in his mind, Pei Renli felt a strong wind on the table, like a powerful hurricane blowing on his face. Duler, who was originally below, had jumped up to almost the same level as Pei Renli.
The same height, as strong and huge as a bear, blocks the sun.
Climbing the mountain is too troublesome, so I might as well just jump up.
This is Dürer's idea, to highlight a powerful brick and fly it.
"Bigby's attack punch!"
Fortunately, Pei Renli had a steady hand and weaved the runes in advance, and the spell that was ready to go was activated immediately.
The fist formed by the stance was like a rampaging truck. The original plan was to hit him while he was halfway up, but now it became a head-on confrontation.
Du Le also realized that he would be attacked when he came up. He was not surprised at all when faced with the spell. He aimed the weird recurve sword in his hand from left to right at Bigby's flying punch and slashed it horizontally.
There are weapons that can cut one's stance, but they are very rare. Dürer is also a poor student, so he doesn't have that kind of weapon.
But just because it can't be cut doesn't mean it can't be taken astray.
When Bigby's attack fist, which originally had a certain degree of control, collided with the sword edge, Pei Renli felt that he could not control the direction of Bigby's attack fist. The next moment, in the bright sparks caused by the friction, Bigby's attack...
The attacking punch flew past Duler's side along the edge of the sword.
Not only that, Du Le also took the opportunity to hit the back of Bigby's powerful punch with the back of his sword. With this, he hit Pei Renli like a falling meteorite.
It's too late to cast a spell, and it's too late to dodge!
--clang!
The sound of strong metal collision resounded throughout the bare mountain. A sword dropped from the sky and struck a standing shield. The strong physical force forced Pei Renli, who was originally standing, to squat down.
In a flash of lightning, Pei Renli crushed a shield scroll, otherwise it would have been split in half.
This was Peri Renli's fault. Dürer had no intention of killing anyone. In his opinion, the Demon King's Arena was too 'tame' and had no intention of a life-or-death struggle. It was okay to kill people, but it was not necessary.
If Pei Renli had not defended himself, he would probably have been hit on the shoulder with a sword, and his shoulder would definitely be broken. If he hadn't fainted yet, he might have received another punch.
But even if the shield technique is used to block the disaster, the situation will not improve at all. On the contrary, it may be worse because of being close.
There were obvious cracks in the stance shield formed by the shielding technique, but it was not broken by a single sword, purely because of Durer's mercy.
There is absolutely no way to stop the second sword!
The long-term actual combat training and combat experience played a role. In this situation, Pei Renli was still able to make a calm judgment without even shaking his fingers.
When the stance shield of the shield technique 'clacked' into pieces and disappeared, his fingers quickly drew an S-shaped rune, and a strong flash of light exploded in his palm.
Even the Sutton barbarians are still human beings, and their eyes will still be dazzled by strong light.
Unable to see the target for the time being, Duler casually swung his sword at the location of Pei Renli in his memory, and as expected, missed the target.
After all, the flash spell is just a small spell, and its blinding effect is not strong. Moreover, the Sutton barbarians are accustomed to the strongly reflective white snow in their hometown, so they can recover their eyesight very quickly.
Duler blinked and his vision returned, but at this time there was no trace of Pei Renli around.
Ran away?
No, he's still around.
Listening carefully, Dürer made a judgment in his mind.
The subtle sounds of breathing, footsteps, and even heartbeats all proved that the prey had not escaped, but the deliberately suppressed sounds were too soft, making it impossible to predict the location. It was simply invisible.
From these small details, Dürer judged that Perrenli was far more worthy of hunting than the five miscellaneous fish he had just sent away.
It is not difficult for a mage to become invisible, and because it is easy to use, the popularity rate is quite high, so it is not surprising to find that Pei Renli has disappeared.
But being invisible doesn't mean it disappears, it still leaves some clues.
Since his eyes were no longer reliable, Dürer simply closed his eyes and listened wholeheartedly to the sounds mixed in the breeze through his ears.
As soon as Pei Renli, who was hiding, saw Du Le close his eyes, he immediately understood his plan. When he was fighting the monk Anton in the sewer, he had the ability to fight blindly, and even Kaya could identify his position by listening to the sound.
So he immediately didn't dare to move. He suppressed his breathing and tried to calm his heartbeat. He held the staff in one hand and quietly weaved the next spell with the other.
On the bare mountain peaks, only the wind bringing moist air blew gently for a while, but the atmosphere that made one's hair stand on end was terrifyingly solemn.
"Got you!"
Duler opened his eyes suddenly, turned around, and threw himself towards a strange-looking rock on the right.
