Chapter 45: The Intelligent and Brave Fox Who Doesn't Know How to Restrain
Youan's appearance, as if walking into a trap, only stunned his opponents for a moment.
The main attacker reacted the fastest. He sneered, drew out his heavy sword and rushed towards Youan like a gust of wind. His swift momentum blocked out the last ray of sunlight coming through the gap in the wooden board!
Youan showed no fear, gripping his lightsaber tightly as he rushed forward. However, he was not, as many people thought, foolishly trying to show off his courage and fight with others head-on.
He was agile and swift, taking advantage of the narrow and complex terrain and obstacles in the stilt house, and his reaction speed was unexpectedly fast.
But the two combat systems were not pushovers either. They quickly locked onto Yuan's route and attempted to force a pincer attack.
However, at this moment, a dark blue energy arrow suddenly broke through the air and interrupted their plan to catch the rabbit in the jar in time!
Oh my god, if this succeeds, Lance will skin me alive.
Quan Yi sneered in his heart, half-closed one eye, seized the opportunity created by Youan's exquisite dodge, set up the compound crossbow and fired several arrows in succession, accurately shooting at the landing point and vital points on the route that the deputy attacker must pass.
"Is Wozhi so accurate?"
"This compound crossbow can actually fire three times in a row? It's almost as fast as a particle gun, right?"
Before the audience could finish their exclamation, Quan Yi changed his position in an extremely coquettish manner, retreating to another corner, preparing for the next opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
The two combat classes were tortured to the point of being distracted. Whenever Yuan was attacked, he would hide. When his energy was restored, this cunning rabbit would jump out from some corner with two swords in hand and attack fiercely.
After several rounds, the opponent didn't even cut off a single rabbit hair, but instead lost a lot of energy.
"Damn it! How does he know how long it takes for my sword to charge up before releasing the light blade?"
"I'm so pissed off, this is so cunning!!"
The rhythm was completely controlled by the opponent. The main attacker was gasping for breath, helpless and furious, and his teammates around him were becoming more and more anxious.
They were too arrogant and just barged in so brazenly, but they didn't expect that the rabbit was so difficult to deal with.
The stilt house was at risk of collapse at any time, and large-scale attack weapons such as particle guns could not be used. Even the assaulters on the other side of the stream were annoyed by Youan's jumping figure.
Still aiming? What the hell are you aiming for?
Compared to his anxious teammates, Inoan was much calmer. Through the lens of the sniper rifle, his eyes were once again attracted by the two swords in Youan's hands and Quan Yi's crossbow.
He habitually analyzed the energy fluctuations and structure of the opponent's weapon quickly. The energy consumption of the compound crossbow was medium, but Quan Yi's crossbow seemed to have modified the core components. In order to improve the attack performance, at least a crystal core was added.
However, Quan Yi's mental strength was only at the bottom of the A-grade. If he forced it to overload the output, there was no way he could hold on. The crossbow would explode after firing just one more arrow.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
At the moment when Inoan made his judgment, three energy arrows that had been charged for a long time shot out rapidly with beautiful light and shadow, as if to refute his point of view, aiming directly at the main attacker who was protecting his teammates!
The deputy attacker snorted disdainfully and thrust the heavy mechanical shield forward!
“Dang—Puff!”
The expected violent collision sound was heard, but it was followed by a teeth-grinding piercing sound!
Those energy arrows, gleaming with a faint blue light, actually penetrated the thick mechanical shield! The sharp arrowheads were unstoppable, sending up a trail of sparks and directly shattering half of the crystal core on the combat uniform!
In an instant, the alarm prompt kept flashing in the corner of his goggles!
"What?!" Inoan exclaimed, his usually calm face filled with shock, "This is impossible!"
League rules have strict restrictions on weapon materials and crystal core levels. The deputy attacker's mechanical shield is his masterpiece, which he reinforced himself. The quantum circuit engraved on the core protective layer has a mental power conversion rate of up to 91.7%.
Inoan can guarantee that among all the participating mechanics, no one can reach this level!
Unless... unless the core components of that crossbow are made of rare and expensive super crystal steel, it can only be driven by Quan Yi's level of mental power and unleash such terrifying power that can instantly penetrate the alloy shield!
But, this is absolutely against the rules!
Just when Inoan suspected that the other party was cheating, Xin Fei, who had been lurking in the shadow of the tree, moved!
He moved along the shadows like a ghost, weighed the mechanical bomb in his hand, and threw it towards the point Youan mentioned.
"boom!"
A violent explosion sounded almost at the same time!
The half of the stilt house near the opposite bank was already shaky, and it collapsed inward with the impact of the explosion. A large amount of broken wooden boards, rubble, and dust poured down like a waterfall, completely blocking the riverbed!
The small light ball responsible for recording continued to rise, recording the battlefield that was instantly completely divided by smoke and ruins.
Inoan and the assaulters were forced to retreat again and again by the blast and the collapsed buildings. They moved in a panic and happened to retreat to an area near the Bailing vine tree!
Xin Fei didn't care about the choking caused by the thick smoke. He did not hesitate to follow Youan's plan and threw the remaining mechanical bomb in his hand accurately at the twisted roots of the vine tree!
"Damn! What the hell is this!"
The vines broke into pieces, and sticky juice splashed towards them. Inoan and the assaulter were unable to dodge and were covered in it. What was worse was that the buzzing of insects could be heard faintly from not far away.
Inoan took a step back in panic, his face so pale that he looked like he would faint at any moment.
"Quan Yi, come out here!"
The main attacker who was still in the wooden building was completely enraged. He didn't care about Inoan and the others, and raised his head and roared at the dark floor.
"Hehe! I won't!" Quan Yi shot arrows while jumping on the beam, "Come on, come and hit me if you dare! Lulululu!"
The composite crossbow with two crystal cores installed had amazing firepower, almost trapping the main attacker in a fixed area to be beaten.
Now the secondary attacker no longer had the mechanical shield. Youan gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, leaned against the pillar, closed his eyes and gasped. His physical strength was almost exhausted, and the tinnitus in his ears made him dizzy.
It doesn't matter, just hold on a little longer, at least he still has to make up for the consequences of his mistakes.
Youan took a deep breath, aimed at the gap, drew his blade, and turned behind the secondary attacker.
“Clang——”
The swords collided, and after just a few seconds of testing, Youan keenly noticed that there were extremely subtle unstable fluctuations in the opponent's lightsaber energy output!
To be honest, the opponent's lightsaber is perfect, but the design focus is on improving the conversion rate of mental power. However, the weapon materials required by the rules of the competition are not enough to support it, and if it is used continuously for too long, errors are inevitable.
He originally wanted to force the opponent to retreat, but at this time, Youan changed his mind and decided not to let go of the duck he had caught!
At the moment when the opponent's lightsaber energy fluctuation hit a low point, Youan's eyes flashed, he used his long sword to block the falling blade, turned the hilt to draw out the dagger, and at an extremely tricky angle, he suddenly struck the weak energy node of the opponent's lightsaber!
“Sizzle—bang!”
The deputy attacker's lightsaber burst into sparks!
Youan took advantage of the situation and spun around, kicking the opponent hard in the chest!
The deputy attacker groaned, flew backward, and crashed directly into the ruins. With horror and disbelief in his eyes, he watched as a dagger charged towards him!
“Crack!”
The only remaining half of the crystal core in the chest shattered.
[Cagano-Yuan +50 points]
"Well done!" Quan Yi shouted excitedly.
Just as the main attacker rushed over, Inoan, who was almost driven crazy by the swarm of flying insects, no longer had any will to fight, and the tone of his voice even changed.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The main attacker gritted his teeth, not caring about his face. He looked at his teammates who were already wrapped in the lifeboat with tears in his eyes. Like a stray dog, he broke through the broken wooden wall without looking back and fled in a panic in the direction he came from!
“Hu…Hu…”
Youan leaned on his sword, breathing heavily, looking at the direction where his opponents disappeared, still a little bit unbelieving. Just as he was about to fall to the ground in dizziness, his two teammates rushed over and hugged him excitedly.
Quan Yi howled excitedly, and Xin Fei's usually calm face also showed a relieved smile.
"We won...we won!"
The three students who survived the disaster hugged each other tightly in the dust and collapsed ruins.
After experiencing extreme tension, the live broadcast barrage was instantly drowned out by various exclamations.
"Ahhh, we won?! We really won?!"
"How is this possible! What are those people from Inoan doing? They can lose to Kagano? This is so embarrassing!"
"As expected of a straight-A student in our Strategy Department! What a smart brain!"
"Their mechanical weapons are so powerful! I heard they were modified by that dwarf rabbit orc!"
"Isn't he from the Strategic Department? What kind of monsters do you guys in Kagano have?"
"I declare! The Bunny King is both wise and brave!"
at the same time--
The area near the small waterfall at the end of the stream was a mess. The clear water was muddied, the banks were littered with broken branches and shattered rocks, and the mud was splattered with the blood of some unknown insect.
The embarrassed Federation player was fleeing in panic through the dense forest when his ankle suddenly tightened! He looked down and saw a scarlet whip wrapped around his ankle like a venomous snake!
"ah!"
He didn't even have time to react before a powerful force pulled him in the opposite direction. He was dragged into the air like a kite, screaming, and fell heavily on the gravel beach beside the pool. He was instantly wrapped up by the lifeboat that followed closely behind and rolled away.
Lancelot had no expression on his face and shook off the mud spots on the whip.
Sliding down the hillside was nothing to him. This minor injury was not even as serious as when he and Colin rolled down the spiral staircase while biting each other's tails. It was just the sound of the explosion that attracted the remaining team that was trying to take advantage of the situation.
However, for others, it was a double whammy. For Lancelot and Calix, it was simply the other party who was seeking death.
In less than ten minutes, the last contestant who attempted a sneak attack was killed by Kalix with a single shot, and the lifeboat swiftly packed him up and took him away.
Calix was greedy and tried to go to the nest, but was ambushed by two temporary federal players. Lancelot was injured while saving Calix and fell behind the bunker.
After dealing with those clueless guys, Lancelot's expression didn't improve at all. He put away his whip in frustration and looked towards the direction where the huge explosion had occurred earlier, frowning slightly.
"Let's go," he called to Calix, his tone filled with unmistakable urgency.
However, misfortunes never come singly, and it seems that they have also been beset by them.
Just as the two were rushing to the stilt house, two temporary federal players ambushed behind a huge fern bush and suddenly attacked. The firepower of the particle gun instantly covered the narrow forest path!
After several fights, Lancelot used his whip as a shield and took two crossbow arrows. With a flick of his wrist, dense whip shadows exploded in the woods, eliminating the attacker who wanted to get behind Calix. However, he staggered back due to the impact, hit a thick tree trunk heavily, and slid down to sit at the roots.
"Hello!"
Kalix's mind went blank in an instant, shock and guilt mingling and nearly drowning him. "Hold on a moment, I'll go get Xin Fei!"
The news of the team's kill flashed across his goggles. Lancelot's shoulders suddenly relaxed, and his voice was so weak that it seemed as if he would die in the next second: "No need, can you...can you..."
Seeing the other person's appearance, Calix was tormented to the extreme, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He wanted to apologize, but he also wanted to say, "Brother, you can go with peace of mind. I promise to raise Youan to be smooth and healthy."
Before he could finish his thought, Lancelot frowned and groaned, as if he wanted to say something.
Calix immediately moved closer, with his ear almost close to Lancelot's mouth, ready to listen to his "last words".
"Can you..." Lancelot's voice was still weak.
Calix held his breath, his eyes saddened: "Hmmmm!"
"Could you please—stop blocking my camera!"
Lancelot leaned against the tree trunk with his legs bent, clutching his arm and gasping for air. He endured the pain and spoke impatiently in one breath, "With this light, this angle, any frame would be a picture of battle damage. Your hairy head has covered most of it. You've ruined it all!"
So, when Quan Yi and the others arrived carrying You An, the scene they saw was—
Calix had a ferocious expression on his face, with his hands on Lancelot's neck, as if he wanted to strangle him to death!
＊
Thanks to Lancelot's infuriating style of doing things, everyone knows that the probability of internal strife in the Kagano 09 team is much higher than that of other teams.
After witnessing the two combat players pulling each other's hair, Youan finally found a relatively safe cave to rest.
Xin Fei fed several people a few tubes of prepared healing potion, began to treat the abrasion on Calix's shoulder, and asked the others to line up one by one to sort out their mental power.
Lancelot huddled in a tree where the small light ball could not reach, and slowly untied his messy red hair, braiding it into a long pigtail again, and wiped the dust and blood off his face with a handkerchief.
When he had transformed back into a refined young master going out for a picnic, he parted the dense branches and leaves and waved to the dwarf rabbit orc who was squatting under the tree and waiting for him quietly: "Come up."
Youan's face was pale, and he was obviously exhausted. He looked up at him eagerly.
Lancelot also noticed this and muttered "Damn it" in annoyance. He wrapped the whip around his waist and pulled it gently.
“Hmm!”
Youan leaned against him and sat down lightly on the tree trunk, hanging his legs and shaking them curiously.
While drinking the potion to replenish his strength, he tilted his face slightly and let the young master hold the wet new handkerchief and carefully wipe the dust and a little dried blood on his forehead.
The expression in those green olive eyes was too focused, and the handsome face came so close that the tip of his nose was almost touching his cheek.
The rabbits' tails hanging behind their buttocks gradually curled tighter.
"When we were by the stream, I saw you seem to have been scratched by the spider's thorns..." After recovering from the shock, Youan shifted his gaze to look at Lancelot's arm, where there was a clear mark of blood soaked and then dried. "Are you feeling any discomfort?"
“This…”
Lancelot stopped wiping his hands and looked up at Youan, with a barely perceptible cunning glint in his eyes.
He slightly frowned his handsome brows, his voice a little lazy and subtly hoarse, "Well... it hurts a little, and it seems like my body is a little hot."
hot?
Where is it hot?
You An instantly became anxious and nervously moved closer: "Where do you feel hot? Can you let me see?"
"Here." Lancelot naturally took Youan's hand and pressed it directly on his strong chest, his tone a little innocent and tempting: "If you don't believe me, why don't you touch it?"
Through the thin combat uniform, you can feel the warmth and dull heartbeat brought by the tight muscles under the fabric.
Youan's face flushed red, and he said dryly: "Ah, this is not good..."
But the hand that was pressed on the other person's chest pinched it with a bit of curiosity.
Well, the feel... is amazing!
Quan Yi, who was not far away, eavesdropped vaguely with his ears perked up. He frowned and nudged Kalix: "Hey, you orcs have a mating season?"
"Are you an idiot? Orcs don't have this kind of sexual physiological mechanism." Calix gritted his teeth, his words full of sarcasm. "Look at his coquettish look, do you even need to ask? He just wants to have sex."
Xin Fei was so scared that he kept pointing his finger and shushing: "It's still live, it's still live..."
Lancelot didn't care whether there was a camera or not. He gently shook his big fiery red tail, relaxed his body, leaned lightly on Youan's shoulder, and raised his eyelids to glance at the small ball of light flying towards him.
This smug look drove the rabbit-luring group off-screen crazy—
"Slutty fox! Slutty fox!"
"Just that one time he fell on Youan's shoulder is enough for me to learn for half my lifetime..."
"Really, please tone it down. Does anyone still remember that this is a competition?"
"If it weren't for these three decorations, they would have been so drunken and crazy that they would have lost all sense of the world!"
"???? They didn't even tell me about the league changing their dating show. Look what a mess it's become. I feel bad for not giving anything away!"
