Although Lin Zuzu was startled by the boy's actions and expression, she was more concerned about the unusual sense of disobedience.
The boy looked to be in his early 10s. He was dressed similarly to the man and the patriarch just now. They were all wearing shabby clothes. He seemed to be an aborigine here.
She couldn't understand that such a child could have such sinister eyes.
What exactly is wrong?
Immediately, the boy's dark eyes and thin face made her finally understand——
This is a human child!
Why is he in the nightmare's place?
Lin Zuzu thought and took a step back calmly.
In the house, after the girl left, Li Qing continued to ask the clan leader for information about the deceased. It could be seen that the other party's answer was very reluctant, but he still maintained basic courtesy.
The deceased was the clan leader's partner, with a B-level rank. In the nightmare of Rize City, he was the second most powerful existence after the clan leader. Unexpectedly, his life was easily taken away by a bullet, and he was even brutally dug up after his death.
eyes.
The weak body of an illusionist has always been a great weakness. As a fellow professional, Ming Qiaoqiao feels the same way about this.
"He has only gone out a few times recently, and it was also to purchase some necessary supplies for daily life."
The body structure of nightmares is similar to that of humans, but they only need one-tenth of the food of humans to survive. The rest of their energy comes from natural elements, which is why they chose to settle in the treacherous forest.
"Where do you get your income from?" Although Li Qing is not as sharp as the girl and Li Qin, he has some common sense and experience.
Sure enough, this question made the patriarch behave a little unnaturally.
"Ah, occasionally people from other tribes will ask us for a little help. Sir, you know, illusion." She felt a little guilty when she spoke.
Seeing that Li Qing was about to ask another question, she quickly begged and said: "Our nightmare is in a corner and we just want to survive... So sir, can we stop here? We don't want the truth."
Li Qing, who has always been thin-skinned, was in a dilemma when he heard Ming Qiaoqiao suddenly shout sharply:
"Who are you talking to?!"
The young "Messenger" sensed the violent fluctuations in the clan leader's mental power, and used the spiritual transmission spell "Sound Transmission" that she was best at.
The patriarch forced a smile and said: "Let the children in the village not be too naughty."
No, that's not right! It is impossible for close-range sound transmission to produce such violent mental fluctuations.
She is lying!
Ming Qiaoqiao's thoughts hadn't ended yet. In an instant, the "woman" who had been decent and kind just now burst out with huge mental power.
"Dizziness"!
Ming Qiaoqiao quickly formed a magic formula, put it on Li Qing's shoulder, and teleported a hundred meters away with the young man to avoid the blow before being affected.
The two landed in the woods to the north of Nightmare Village.
"She is communicating with an unknown race. The distance may be more than 500 meters. Without the amplification circle, I can't sense it for the time being."
Li Qing saw Lin Zuzu standing in the middle of two rows of houses and gave two orders in succession.
"No. 2, the situation has changed. Destroy the C-level barrier immediately and report the situation to the team, over."
"You use teleportation to take me back there, and then immediately retreat with No. 4 and join No. 2." He must protect Ming Qiaoqiao during the casting phase to prevent any unexpected events.
"What about you?" Ming Qiaoqiao asked and at the same time stretched out his hand to strengthen the blessing technique for Li Qing.
"Nightmare is not good at physical arts and fighting. I will evacuate as soon as possible."
The full speed that Li Qing could use after igniting his fighting spirit was not as fast as teleportation, but it was still more than enough compared with these weak nightmares.
Of course he knew that Ming Qiaoqiao could take them all to evacuate together, but the risk would be even greater.
As long as the spells are linked to space, they are basically B-level mid-to-high-level spells, and "Shukuchi Technique" is no exception. The larger the teleporting object, the stronger the power, and the more mental power the caster consumes. At the same time,
The failure rate will also increase.
Even if Ming Qiaoqiao, a low-ranking B-ranker, has outstanding abilities, he cannot escape the limitations of magic.
The last time she forced Lin Zuzu to teleport five times in a row, she exhausted her mental strength, and it took her a long time to recover.
According to Li Qing's plan, counting the one she had just used, she only needs to use it twice more to retreat to a safe area, so she still has enough energy left to assist in the battle.
But if three people teleport together, even if the spell is successful, Ming Qiaoqiao will lose the ability to protect himself due to excessive mental energy consumption.
Once the opponent pursues, or the unknown race communicating with the clan leader attacks... the non-combat type Ming Qiaoqiao and Liu Ying cannot withdraw, and he will face a more severe battle situation.
In short, be prepared for any situation.
This is the consistent fighting style of youth.
***
A few minutes ago, Lin Zuzu noticed that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and that sinister boy was staring at her motionless.
Her enhanced hearing allowed her to hear the slight footsteps in the rough room, as if those nightmares had all walked to the door of her room and seemed to be rushing out at any time.
Under the boy's gaze, Lin Zuzu retreated toward the patriarch's house and pressed the intercom to report the situation.
Just as she was about to speak, a severe feeling of dizziness hit her, causing her to stumble and barely manage to steady herself.
Is this a spell?
Although her mental tolerance allowed her to maintain her consciousness under the "vertigo technique", the continuous dizziness was still churning her brain, almost making it difficult for her to move.
At this time, a murderous intention came with a strong wind. Lin Zuzu took a step back and drew her sword to block, but she still had no time to stop this sudden and swift attack. Fortunately, she instinctively leaned back, and the sharp blade only lightly scratched her neck.
A few drops of blood spattered.
This fucking thing is going to kill me!
Lin Zuzu broke into a cold sweat, and the pain in her neck made her sober in an instant.
She took a closer look and found the strange boy standing in front of her. He was holding a dagger with a cold light in his hand.
Seeing that the blow missed, the boy raised his dagger and stabbed her again.
So fast.
Lin Zuzu frowned, turned the blade, slashed from bottom to top, and blocked the blow with all his strength. There was a crisp sound when the two soldiers met each other. The boy was not strong enough, so the dagger came out of his hand, and finally stuck diagonally on the ground not far away.
He held the numb wrist and stared at the girl resentfully.
I didn't strike too hard, not to mention he wanted to kill me!
But he is just a child after all...
No, I'm not an adult yet!
Two figures appeared next to the girl with a "swish" sound, they were Li Qing and Ming Qiaoqiao.
"No. 4, hurry up!"
The clever Lin Zuzu instantly understood what she was going to do, so he put his arm around Ming Qiaoqiao's shoulders, and the latter quickly made hand gestures and chanted in his mouth.
"She can't leave!"
The clan leader appeared from the door and shouted loudly, and a purple spell glowed and hung in her hand. Upon seeing this, Li Qing rushed over and put the knife on her neck, but still did not prevent the completion of the spell.
A "disruption spell" was directed towards them.
Ming Qiaoqiao's expression changed and she sped up her singing speed.
"Shutchi Jutsu"——
Suddenly, Lin Zuzu felt a heavy blow to her abdomen. She was knocked away by a powerful force, and her outstretched hand left Ming Qiaoqiao's shoulder.
--launch!
Oops!
Ming Qiaoqiao left a surprised expression and then disappeared into thin air.
When Lin Zuzu fell to the ground, she felt something pressing on her body. She subconsciously grabbed the "object" and threw it out.
