Chapter 170 169. Superior Skills
An unknown scarlet cloak with agility +5, which is a bit long. When running, it looks like a dragged red carpet, half of which is dragged on the ground and covered with mud and mycelium;
An unknown silver pendant with agility +4, which is a bit tight and stuck under the mushroom cap with no room to spare. It means Puji doesn't need to breathe, otherwise the pendant would strangle Puji to death.
Plus a life-size shield made from ancestral dragon scales.
It's just that Puji's body shape doesn't match, otherwise he should have a set of helmet, gauntlets, rings, etc.
Lin Jun discovered that the skill equipment preferred by adventurers was not as practical for Puji as the simple attribute equipment.
After all, Puji has never lacked skills.
And the agility that comes from all directions is for this moment!
Lin Jun didn't aim at the head or the heart; he just wanted to beat him until he couldn't get up again.
【Pain Immunity】
【Shrinking the Earth LV7】
The blade whip pierced deeply into the soil with a sound of breaking through the air. Before the buzzing sound stopped, Fifteen's figure was like a ghostly afterimage, with a sword light, and fell behind the knight in an instant.
What kind of skill is this?
Lin Jun didn't understand his movement trajectory at all.
In this brief moment, the knight only had time to move the dragon scale shield dangerously in front of him.
Swish——!
The three hyphae tentacles on the left broke with a sound and flew out like a cut rubber band.
At the same time, a deep sword mark was imprinted on the dragon scales.
Are you kidding me?
Scales of the ancient dragon!
Can you chop this?!
Lin Jun had tested it repeatedly and found that ordinary swords and even powerful bows and crossbows could not leave a single white mark on its surface.
As a result, he got this hideous scar after his first actual combat experience!
In other words, without this shield, Knight Puji would have been cut in half by now.
This guy is so strong!
Lin Jun was amazed at the fierceness of Fifteen's counterattack, and there was also unconcealable surprise in Fifteen's eyes!
"What kind of shield is this? It was actually blocked!?"
Fifteen turned his wrist and was about to attack again, but Knight Puji suddenly jumped up and avoided the subsequent slash.
In mid-air, the knight quickly rolled up his body, and the scarlet cloak instantly wrapped into a rolling ball. He used the momentum to fly back at full speed, completely escaping from the attack range of the subsequent sword energy.
【Assault Ejection LV6】
【Rolling Charge LV7】
“Don’t run!”
While chasing after him, Fifteen reached for the bag around his waist, trying to take out a bottle of healing potion to recover.
However, what the fingertips touched was only the damp and cold medicine and prickly glass fragments - the glass bottle was too fragile in the face of infrasonic attacks.
At this point, even without the healing potion, we can't retreat.
Fifteen's eyes flashed, and he used the [Swimming Step] to the extreme, biting on the knight's figure as he rolled and fled away.
Most of the Pujis were unable to keep up with the speed of the two, and only a few mine Pujis jumped out at Lin Jun's command.
But let alone injuring Fifteen, even the hindrance to his forward speed was quite limited.
Instead of leading him towards the Puji army, since the surprise attack and the decisive blow had failed, he would decisively switch to Plan B!
The knight led Fifteen all the way to the cave, their destination - the happy hut in Yellow Book!
However, Lin Jun regretted it as soon as he entered the cave.
I regret wearing this cool but troublesome cape.
The cloak caught on the protruding stone, pulling the knight so hard that he paused.
The fifteen behind seized the opportunity and slashed with a sword.
clang--
Seeing new marks on the dragon scale shield, Lin Jun's heart almost broke. This was his strongest shield!
Throwing away his cloak, the knight simply stopped rolling and escaped into the secret passage by jumping up and down in the tunnel by catapulting.
"A trap?"
Fifteen is not a fool. He has vaguely sensed the intention of this sinister creature, but he did not give up.
It’s almost there, it’s almost there, I can cut it!
Just cut it off before it reaches its destination!
There was a large amount of demonic presence ahead, and he could clearly sense that he was running headfirst into the center of a carefully woven web.
but--
Enough distance!
【Shrinking the Earth LV7】
【Wake Jet LV5】
Fifteen and the Knight used their skills almost at the same time.
Lin Jun, who has a full-map perspective, can react to the attack from Fifteen behind him in the first place even when he is controlling the knight Puji to escape.
The emergency escape skills worked, but not completely.
The cold sword blade just passed by the knight Puji's waist, but failed to cut him in half as Fifteen had expected.
The knight was neatly cut off from the base of his legs, along with half of his torso!
But that’s enough!
This is the knight's escape route!
The chopped-off body drew a parabola in the air and was caught by an elite Puji, which then seamlessly stuffed it into a hole that had been dug long ago.
The second slash from Fifteen that followed only cut the elite Puji coming from the cave entrance into pieces, but failed to kill the knight.
At this moment, the place where Fifteen was standing was already the center of the Happy House.
This kind of thing where you chase after your opponent relentlessly, only to let him slip away at the last moment...
This feeling of frustration made Fifteen clench his teeth.
What's even more outrageous is that the other three Pujis in the room were twisting their bodies in front of him in an orderly manner, full of sarcasm.
“You…”
Boom——!!!!
The puffs in the eight rough stone pillars exploded at the same time, and the entire cave seemed to be bitten to pieces by a giant beast. The rubble poured down like a rainstorm, instantly engulfing the figure of the fifteen sword dancers!
Only the pendant around his neck emitted a ray of light at the last moment...
…
Lin Jun, who was in control of the entire battle situation, controlled the knight Puji, who had only half of his torso left in the cave, to retreat, while using the detection skill to scan the location of the Happy House.
A humanoid lifeform was frantically digging a hole in the rubble.
As expected, he was not dead. Lin Jun was not surprised at all.
A trap of this level can at best deal with a diamond-level creature like Xiaozhu, but it is unlikely to kill a LV60+ creature.
But Lin Jun didn't intend to kill him.
Lin Jun had originally been prepared for the knight Puji to sacrifice himself here, but now it seems... it's a complete victory.
As long as the knight is not dead, humans will not take their eyes off it for the time being.
For Lin Jun, one more layer of vest naturally means one more layer of security.
And now, as the victor, Lin Jun should go and reap the spoils before Fifteen is dug out! —
At the entrance of the fifth floor stairs, the last curtain of light was finally transformed into star points and disappeared into the cold air under the violent bombardment of the mushroom cannon.
At this time, there was no one else at the bottom of the stairs except for a few seriously injured people.
Seeing that he could not wait until the fifteenth day, even though there was little hope, Soralin still organized a breakout, taking everyone who could still move, trying to break through the blockade and return to the upper level.
In this situation, even if it is cruel, we cannot take the seriously injured with us.
Puff——
Puff——
Puji's little feet stepped into the stairs, and for some reason he didn't use the mushroom cannon to kill the few people remotely.
The blind church warrior dropped his shield, clenched his hands, and swung forward based on his feeling.
Unfortunately, it was his first time as a blind man and he lacked experience, so even if Puji didn't dodge, his swing would have missed.
The hyphae tentacles wrapped around the warrior and soon dragged him into the vast ocean, where he disappeared without a trace.
"Hahaha……"
An adventurer with a broken leg drew out the dagger he carried with him.
At this moment, he remembered the horrific rumors about the adventurers who disappeared on the fifth floor.
Rather than being sucked into the swamp alive, it is better to...
