In Qianfeng Temple, on the top of the hill, Li Qiuzhi and the others were confronting the members of the treasure stealing group.
Qiao Nick felt that he could not move forward or retreat at this time. The holy relics were already in hand. They could have evacuated directly, but they found something more valuable inside the relics.
If you take this news back to Mr. Strange Bird, he can at least become the second-in-command of the treasure stealing group in Mondstadt.
But they happened to be seen by these adventurers. If they went back to report the abnormal situation here to the Adventurers Association, there is a high possibility that the ruins would be exposed.
It will be troublesome to get the benefits then.
Therefore, these people had to be left behind, so Jonick crossed his strong arms and said:
"Guys, please don't let the news about our discovery of the ruins get out. How about you leave after we finish dealing with things here?"
"You want to restrict our movements? You are probably thinking too much."
Li Qiuzhi looked at him with strange eyes.
His strength may still be a bit lacking, but with Noelle here, she can easily knock these people down!
"Boss, what are you talking about? I don't believe that just the Eye of God can stop us!"
Wei Ge raised his repeating crossbow and aimed it at Li Qiuzhi and the others, speaking impatiently.
Weir, who was injured in her knee, hurriedly hid far behind Li Qiuzhi. She couldn't help much in this situation.
Li Qiuzhi frowned and held the bow and arrow slightly vigilantly, ready for battle at any time.
If he had not been attacked by a sneak attack just now, and he had little combat experience and could not instinctively sense the danger, with his improved physical fitness, it would not be difficult for him to avoid the crossbow if he was prepared.
Jonik stretched out his palm to block the direction in which Vig was aiming. He also knew that these adventurers would not agree so easily, and then persuaded again:
"You should see the situation clearly. There are six of us, all with powerful weapons. If we really want to take action, the result will be self-evident!"
Noelle's fair face looked solemn at this time. The gorgeous West Wind sword had been summoned by her and she was holding it in her hand. She would not simply believe the lies of the treasure thieves.
Li Qiuzhi silently invested 98 experience points in the skill [West Wind Archery·Basic] to upgrade it to Level 2.
At the same time, some knowledge of how to use archery appeared in my mind, as if I had practiced it for a long time. I would not feel unfamiliar at all, and I could use the maximum power of my current level at any time.
The remaining experience in the character panel just now is only enough to upgrade [West Wind Archery·Basic]. If the strength can be improved a little, it will be more certain in case of a real fight.
Although he was very confident in Noelle's strength, he had to make some preparations.
"If that's the case, don't blame us for not giving us face!" Jonik's eyes were sharp, and he waved his hand and said, "Catch them!"
"It's the boss!"
Vig couldn't wait to shoot the crossbow arrows. The crossbows that cut through the air hit Noel's rock elemental shield one by one, but they were all bounced away without any effect.
"It's useless, boss, this woman's turtle shell is too hard!" Weig said dejectedly.
Li Qiuzhi and Weier were behind Noelle. The treasure thieves could not attack them at all, so they were not afraid of the treasure thieves' crossbows.
Before Noelle's shield was broken, the treasure thieves didn't dare to approach. Didn't you see that terrifying sword? Daring to approach was no different than seeking death.
Because Noelle was also worried that if he took the initiative to rush in and attack, Weir, who had an injured knee and had some difficulty moving, might become their target.
So he was a little hesitant and didn't know what to do, so he could only temporarily open the shield and block the two people.
"Try using elemental potion!" On the other side, Qiao Nick said in a deep voice.
Buck, a young man with yellow hair and short hair, took out a fire element potion that was as red as fire from his bag and said:
"Boss, let me come!"
This holder of the Eye of God seems to have no way to attack from a distance. She has to protect the two people behind her. This is their advantage.
Buck thought so.
Of course, Li Qiuzhi would not just watch the elemental potion being thrown over.
When the young man with yellow hair and short hair threw the red potion away, Li Qiuzhi raised his hunting bow and fired an arrow, which flew out with a "shoo".
With his current two levels of archery skills, it is no problem to hit moving objects.
What's more, it's a projectile that isn't very fast.
The fire element potion thrown by Buck was shot in advance by Li Qiuzhi using a wooden hunting bow in mid-air, and raging flames suddenly erupted and swept through the surrounding void.
Li Qiuzhi took out the arrows from the quiver, then placed them on the bowstring, aimed and fired a series of movements with time intervals, which was not as convenient as a hand crossbow.
But they also had an advantage, because with Noel using the rock elemental shield as a cover, the treasure thieves' crossbows could not hurt him, and the elemental potions thrown by the two pharmacists on the opposite side would also be destroyed by him in advance.
While they were throwing potions, Li Qiuzhi found an opportunity to shoot them in the head with arrows.
But after all, they were desperadoes who had been wandering in the wild for a long time, and they still had sufficient combat experience. They easily dodged the arrows fired at them.
Noelle did not dare to approach the treasure thief group, so Noelle wanted to prevent them from attacking Weir, who was unable to move.
For the time being, they could not take the initiative to attack them, and the arrows shot by Li Qiuzhi would be dodged by them. It seemed that neither side could do anything to anyone, and there was a slight stalemate.
"Boss Jonik, we have run out of potions!"
Leitch is another pharmacist who is good at using and making thunder element potions. Combining with Buck's fire element potions can often cause an excellent overload reaction.
But something unexpected happened this time. The adventurer using a bow and arrow was able to hit the elemental potion they threw in advance every time, so that they could not play any role at all.
Otherwise, if you can throw the elemental potion a few more times and consume it, you can break the maid's transparent shield.
It was all this damn bastard who wasted more than ten elemental potions. You must know that preparing potions requires materials containing elements. It is very troublesome to collect those things.
Moreover, the process of preparing the medicine is also very dangerous. If you are not careful and do not strictly follow the steps on the medicine formula, it may explode directly, causing casualties.
The more Leitch thought about it, the angrier he became. He stared at the young adventurer behind the maid with the big sword with a gnawing gaze, and said in an angry tone:
"Asshole! Don't hide behind women if you can!"
"Ah."
Li Qiuzhi was about to respond to him with an arrow. He stretched his right hand towards the quiver on his back, but unexpectedly he missed it. It seemed that all the arrows had been used up.
Li Qiuzhi put down his hands helplessly. There was such a problem with bows and arrows. Arrows were consumables and were limited.
It seems that a lot of it was lost on the way to Qianfeng Temple, so it’s all used up now.
It seemed that he had to practice swordsmanship as soon as possible, so as not to have to engage in hand-to-hand combat when he ran out of arrows. Of course, his strengthened body could not lose to the treasure thieves in front of him in a one-on-one situation even if he did not have any fighting skills.
It can be said that even without weapons, Li Qiuzhi still has considerable fighting power based on his physical strength.
"Although I have run out of arrows, you don't have any elemental potion anymore, and you are completely helpless against us now. It's just a waste of time to drag it on. If any of the patrolling West Wind Knights come over, you won't be able to escape." Li Qiuzhi After thinking for a while, he said with a smile.
Qiao Nick looked at him and thought for a while: "Are you telling me to let you go?"
"No, this is your only chance to run!" Li Qiuzhi looked at him calmly.
Noelle is very powerful, but with her soft-hearted personality, she probably won't be ruthless even when facing bad guys. Otherwise, with her shield on, she could go on a rampage and kill these people indiscriminately.
