Chapter 121 Shrimp Challenge
Follow the floating faint blood color until it completely dissipates in the mist.
Patch said cautiously: "Be careful, that guy should be nearby."
puff--
Just as he finished speaking, a big tree in front of us was instantly pierced through the trunk by something and fell down.
——This kind of attack, could it be...
We carefully stepped around the destroyed tree and looked in the direction of the attack.
In a spacious area of Lake Lienya, a man wearing a prisoner's iron mask and gray cloth was running for his life, and behind him, two lobsters as big as small trucks were chasing him and constantly pinching his butt with their claws.
"Well done, Lobster!" Patch gloated, "If we take care of that guy like this, we can easily get the necklace back!"
——Well, to be honest, I had a similar mentality and didn’t want to go forward at all.
——After all, he is the King of Shrimp Firewood. His two pincers can break the defense, his shot is fatal, and he also has a throwing skill that can split A-Tu into two pieces.
But... considering that Xia Ge was pretty nice to A-Ti in the game, at least he wouldn't attack me indiscriminately.
"Hey, stop making sarcastic remarks. If the necklace is on him and is eaten by lobsters after he dies, we won't be able to get it back." I pulled out the hound's tusk and took up the brass shield. "I'll go over and help. Pachi, keep an eye on Laya."
But Laya said confidently: "It's okay, I can take care of myself! You two, please show your bravery!"
"······Napachi, let's do it the same as usual. You draw the firepower and I'll be the main output." Since Laya was able to travel to Lienia alone, she must have extraordinary abilities. I chose to believe her and rearranged the tactics.
And Patch was the same as always, holding up his shield and moving forward while complaining: "Huh? You want me to suffer again?"
"Then we will give you all the runes we hunt."
"That's more like it." Patch smirked and shouted, "Hey, man, we're here to help you!"
And I took advantage of the fact that the giant lobster's attention was all on Brother Shrimp, rushed forward quickly, and directly used my fighting skills - Wolf Attack Blood Dance!
when--
——It was really hard! But at least one of the lobster's legs was cut off.
This caused the shrimp to suddenly jump up in pain... No, it was not because of the pain, but to change direction, as if it was being crushed by a mountain!
I quickly rolled to avoid it and called out to my teammates, "Patch!"
And Patch was unequivocal, holding up a large shield and blocking in front of me: "Come on, ugly thing!"
Bang!
Sure enough, the next shot from the hydraulic cannon almost broke through Patch's defense.
I also took the opportunity to flash out from the side again and hit the opponent's head directly... I caught a glimpse of a large claw in my peripheral vision. I had no choice but to change my posture midway and hold the knife upright to block the attack of the giant shrimp.
Just because he jumped in mid-air, he was knocked flying.
"Old man!" Patch roared.
But a dark shadow suddenly flipped over the giant shrimp's back: "Hey, don't be distracted! Be careful!"
As he said that, Brother Shrimp clenched his fist and hit the giant shrimp on the head.
The giant shrimp actually felt pain, and began to wave its claws like crazy, trying to clamp the person off its back.
But the experienced Shrimp Brother held the lobster's back with one hand, as steady as a rock, and used the other hand to hammer the lobster's head frantically without stopping.
"Be careful over there!" The other lobster suddenly pounced towards Brother Shrimp, making me shout loudly.
However, Shrimp Brother flipped over and jumped off the lobster's back, causing the two big prawns to collide with each other like a stack of monks.
--good chance!
While the big shrimp below was unable to move for a moment, I rushed forward and used my fighting skill - Wolf Attack Blood Dance!
Then two more shrimp legs flew out.
This time, the big shrimp at the bottom basically lost its ability to move. After all, relying on just one leg was not enough to support such a huge body that looked like a small truck.
There was a dark shadow overhead. It was another lobster that jumped directly from its companion's body.
——You want to put a mountain on my head again?
I quickly rolled over to avoid it.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the prawn landed on the ground, it ran away without stopping.
——Lobsters also have intelligence. Do they know that they are at a disadvantage and run away quickly?
——In that case, it doesn’t matter if I let it go.
I was just about to turn around and join Brother Shrimp and Patchy in dealing with the big shrimp that had broken its legs and couldn't escape, but Patchy suddenly shouted loudly, "Laya, get out of the way!"
——Huh? Laya?
Turning around, I saw that the giant shrimp was escaping towards the woods where Laya was.
But little Laya was still standing beside the woods, watching our fight.
"Laya!" I hurriedly ran after her at the fastest speed I could.
But lobsters have eight legs, and their full-speed running speed is comparable to that of a tortoise. It is impossible for them to be caught up with just two legs... They need to be faster, faster!
An idea suddenly flashed through my mind:
——Hound Step... No, it's the second stage of the Hound Sword Technique, a forward slash!
However, if the hound sword skill is used, the first round of whirling slash is necessary, but this will only delay time and it will be too late to catch up.
——Laya, that little idiot, why is she still not moving at all at this moment! Doesn't she know how to dodge?
——Zero, as long as you are familiar with and master the combat skills, you can freely use any attack of the Hound Sword Skills, and then the power of the Wolf Attack Blood Dance will be even greater.
The words that Bernal taught me flashed through my mind. At the same time, I quickly recalled the feeling of performing the second stage of the Hound Sword Technique, gathering the runes between my feet... Next is the wind. I have to step on the gusts of wind and then control them to burst out at the fastest speed in an instant!
Wind——
A familiar feeling suddenly gushed out from under my feet, but it was not what I imagined—my whole body turned into a gust of wind and rushed forward with all my strength.
Instead, the whole person was ejected like a cannonball.
——······This, this is a combat skill——Storm Assault? !
All I could think about in my mind was the wind, and I just thought about stepping on the gust of wind. But, could it be that my subconscious mind was using the Double Storm Kicks to send myself flying?
"Ouch!" He sat right on the lobster's back, and his legs subconsciously clamped the lobster, as if he was riding Torrett - what's more, the lobster's back was covered with all kinds of aquatic plants and mosses, and the feeling of sitting under it was quite similar to Torrett's saddle, and the speeds of the two were also similar.
When I looked up, Laya was already about six or seven meters away!
——We have to kill this guy quickly!
However, the lobster's shell is extremely stiff. I used my hound's tusks to chop the body of another lobster, but it only left shallow wounds, so I changed my mind and chose to chop its legs and feet.
--what to do?
—Stab me, Zero.
The memory of cooking crabs with Kenneth Hyde at the beach came to my mind. I raised my fangs high...but my arms were not wide enough to stab through.
——It’s too late, Laya, get out of the way!
"Awoo~" Little Laya in front suddenly raised her hands and made a gesture like a roaring dragon.
——At this time, are you still acting cute?
But unexpectedly, acting cute really worked. After seeing Laya, the giant shrimp actually stopped with all its strength.
I quickly took advantage of this opportunity, stood up, raised my long teeth and pierced the giant shrimp's skull with all my strength, and the black juice inside splashed all over my face.
Then, the giant shrimp sank and fell to the ground, no longer moving. Among them, a rune gathered on my body.
"Laya!" I jumped off the shrimp's back in a hurry, "Are you okay?"
"Zero, you're awesome!" The little guy didn't care at all, but cheered for me loudly, "You just flew up in an instant and jumped onto the lobster's back, defeating it with just one hit! You really are worthy of being the strongest fader!"
After I relaxed, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't mention it. The strongest faders would never let the lobster run around. They would chop off its head right away. I'm far from that... But, it was so dangerous just now, why didn't you leave, Laya?"
"Because I want to witness the warriors' battle, and then introduce everyone to Lady Tanis, and together we can resist the hypocritical Golden Dynasty." Laya said innocently, and I even doubted whether she understood what hypocrisy was.
But why did the lobster stop?
——Perhaps it is the biological instinct that makes it feel afraid.
——After all, snakes are predators of shrimps, and it might still be the same in another world.
"Laya, are you okay?" Patch came late.
Laya also boasted happily: "Crazy Patch is so powerful, no matter how hard the lobster hits you, it won't hurt you."
"······Why do I feel like you are insulting me?" Patch twitched his mouth slightly.
I also added at the right time: "I still believe in this old fellow's ability to shrink."
"Please call this defensive ability, not cowardice!"
"By the way, where is the other prawn?" I ignored Patch's complaints, walked around the prawn in front of me and looked back.
I saw Brother Shrimp twisted off the last leg of the big shrimp on its left side, then suddenly inserted his fist into the opponent's head and pulled out a ball of black lines.
——What a brutal way of execution.
But unexpectedly, the next second, the big shrimp twitched and spewed out a thick silver-gray mist, swallowing up Brother Shrimp's whole body.
