Chapter 62: Assault



Since he had left soldiers in the inn when he came, to watch over and teach the little werewolves fighting techniques, he now looked like a very easy target.

A few guys with bad intentions were following closely behind, seemingly waiting for a suitable opportunity to strike.

After all, it was only around nine o'clock in the evening and many shops were still open.

They don't dare to rob openly on the street in public.

"Fuck! The security situation in Port Calin is too bad. Do they think I'm young and easy to bully?"

Zuo Si couldn't help but complain and immediately ran into a dark alley where you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Before the other party could follow, he immediately pulled a small piece of leather from his pocket and began to chant a spell in a low voice.

In the blink of an eye, an invisible protective force field covered the whole body.

First-ring arcane conjuration spell [Mage Armor].

This spell can provide the target with additional defense equivalent to a piece of leather armor.

Any ranged or close-range attack will be deflected by the invisible force field, inevitably causing deflection, and the effect will last for a long time.

It is an indispensable defensive measure for mages and warlocks in the early stages.

However, [Mage Armor] alone cannot bring much sense of security to Zuo Si.

He then took out another card and released the [Force Field Shield].

It was obvious that Zuo Si no longer wanted to waste time with these guys and planned to take direct action to get rid of the tail following him.

Just as he finished casting the spell, several dark shadows finally walked into the alley from the only entrance.

The leading man first squinted his eyes and looked around in the darkness for a long time, then couldn't help but curse loudly: "Damn it! Where did that brat hide?"

"Don't worry! He can't run away! This is a dead end. I just saw him walk in with my own eyes." Another person hurriedly comforted.

"Wait here for a moment! I'll get a torch for lighting!"

The third black shadow obviously realized that it was impossible to see clearly what was hidden around in such a dark environment with the human eye.

Just as he turned around and prepared to leave, a jerky syllable suddenly came out from the darkness!

The next second...

Whoosh! A crossbow arrow flew out from the dark alley and hit the unlucky guy's neck directly.

The sharp tip of the arrow pierced through the neck directly, and the bloody front end came out of the throat.

Especially the color of the arrow tip was obviously not right. Without asking, one could tell that it had been coated with some terrible poison.

Less than a few seconds later, the man who suggested getting a torch fell straight to the ground and breathed his last.

His facial expression was so hideous when he died, and the blood near the wound also showed a strange phenomenon of rapid coagulation.

"Oh no! That brat has a crossbow!"

"Run! We have no way of avoiding the crossbow fire in this narrow alley!"

After witnessing the death of their companion, the other two were so scared that they immediately turned around and wanted to retreat.

It’s a pity that Zuo Si had no intention of letting them go.

As the awkward syllables sounded again, two more poisoned crossbow arrows shot out from the darkness.

One of them hit him in the thigh, and the other in the back.

certainly!

Since the arrows were coated with a deadly poison that killed instantly upon contact with blood, it didn't matter where they hit.

As long as the poison on the arrow enters the blood, death is inevitable.

The two guys who were greedy for money didn't run far before their faces began to become increasingly ugly and painful, until they fell straight down with their faces facing downwards, and quickly died amid the screams of passers-by and employees of nearby shops.

Just when many people were still not sure what was going on, Zuo Si slowly walked out of the dark alley with nothing in his hands and no crossbow.

The reason why I was able to shoot the crossbow arrow just now was because I used the zero-ring magic [Archery].

This inconspicuous little trick allows the caster to shoot a crossbow arrow as if it were a light crossbow, up to a distance of no more than twenty-four meters.

And there is no need to spend effort to wind up the string; it can be easily released with a simple syllable and gesture.

As for the poisoned crossbow arrows, Zuo Si prepared some in private after learning the art of archery.

The poison is made from local materials, from an unknown plant in Port Calin. It is the white juice secreted after the trunk is cut, and is refined by the creator's special ability.

Its effect is similar to that of the famous curare tree on Earth.

Only a small dose is needed to cause heart paralysis, blood coagulation, blood vessel blockage, and ultimately death from suffocation.

With the help of the Zero Ring Trick + Poison, Zuo Si easily killed three guys who tried to follow him and rob him.

Judging from their attire and the weapons they used, they were not just ordinary thugs.

Instead, he is a character similar to an adventurer or mercenary who is tempted by the money and wants to make some extra money.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a tough opponent and were completely wiped out, with not even a single one escaping.

Killing is not an uncommon occurrence in a place like Calin Port, which is filled with chaos.

But three fully-armed adventurers or mercenaries were killed by a boy who looked about ten years old, and their death was so miserable, which is quite worthy of attention.

At that moment, many people in the hotels and pubs on both sides of the street stuck their heads out and watched Zuo Si's every move.

Because of the lessons learned from the past, no one dared to show even the slightest malice or greed at this moment.

A drunkard was sobered up by the smell of blood. He stared at the three bodies on the ground and exclaimed, "Oh my God! Who is that kid? Why have I never seen him before? How did he kill these three villains?"

"Don't ask me! The alley was so dark, who knows how he did it. But judging from the reaction of the deceased, he must have been hit by a poisoned crossbow arrow."

Another drunkard said this as he tilted his head back and took another sip of cheap beer diluted with water.

While the two were talking, Zuo Si had already walked to the body and bent down carefully to confirm the identity of the deceased through the remains.

But before he could squat, a man suddenly jumped out from the shadow behind him, holding a sharp dagger and stabbed him in the back at incredible speed.

[Backstab]! The sneak attack method that thieves and assassins are best at.

Generally speaking, once such an unexpected attack hits, it often causes several times the damage of an ordinary attack.

Most people would probably just close their eyes and wait for death if they were hit.

But when the sharp dagger was less than ten centimeters away from Zuo Si, the invisible force field generated by the [Mage Armor] and [Force Field Shield] caused the sharp blade to deflect greatly.

At the same time, Zuo Si also reacted, quickly rolled on the ground and pulled up the corpse to block in front of him.

In the end, the [Backstab] failed to hurt him, but instead stabbed the corpse's left shoulder.

Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, the man in black immediately chose to continue approaching, hoping to kill the target by using his own size and strength advantages.

But he soon found out that he was wrong, and very wrong.

Because after Zuo Si realized the assassination attempt against him, he activated the [Ram Ring] on his finger without hesitation.

Suddenly, a goat-headed shadow made entirely of magical energy appeared out of nowhere and slammed heavily into the attacker.

Boom! "Ah!"

After a loud bang, the man in black flew out and spat out a mouthful of glaring blood in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Zuo Si raise his hand and complete the spell casting action at an extremely fast speed, and uttered a few simple syllables from his mouth.

Then gorgeous magic missiles flew out from his fingertips and hit his legs heavily one after another.
