"The Sky-Breaking Blade was hit again! He was struck by a cold arrow from the dark—"
Bah!
Before the high-decibel shouts from the flowers blooming in the outside world covered the ears of all the audience with the harsh feeling, a bright electric light once again penetrated the darkness deep in the corner of the cave hall, and from the "Xue Ling Huan Bing" hand The electric light stimulated by the "gun-like" weapon did not traverse a straight trajectory this time. Instead, it suddenly turned halfway into the air and fell from the gray-robed magician like a marble attracted by magnetism. He walked around and said, "...I see."
"The real target is me."
At the end of the electric light that submerged in the depths of darkness, a low sigh belonging to Xian Yu slowly rose in an unknown corner. The thud sound of a human body falling followed the sound of Duan Qing falling into a rag bag in the distance and echoed in that corner. Deep down, there was no breath anymore. Ignoring the results of her miraculous shot, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had already thrown away the heavy iron pipe, ran towards the direction where Duan Qing fell. Duan Qing climbed up, held his head and shouted: "Are you okay? Our mission is not over yet!"
"Relax...it's almost...over."
As if he had used up all his strength to squeeze out his answer, Duan Qing, who was holding his chest, gasped loudly, and traces of black blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth as he opened his mouth. It seems to be an ominous sign that only occurs after being poisoned by curare: "They... among the remaining... trio, the most threatening... is the archer, and now... you... have also... solved it. so……"
"Okay, okay, don't talk." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who forcibly ordered herself to calm down and stopped her hurried movements, reached into her arms and stuffed a bottle of healing potion that she had previously received from the other person into the other person's mouth: " Next time, don't use such an obvious way as bait. What if you are really killed by an arrow? Hang up your health first, and then tell me where your 'Holy Purification Potion' is... you should still have some in stock. Right, the great alchemist?"
"Only...the last bottle is left."
The soft body gradually became tactile behind him. Duan Qing, who had recovered some consciousness from the general paralysis, subconsciously replied. His eyes gradually turned from turbid to clear, and the clear vision was also difficult for him. He looked back in the direction of the battlefield: "The remaining two people... are all sick and disabled. That handsome guy... should... be able to deal with it, right?"
"He has already killed one of them." Looking at the other white light rising there, Xueling Huanbing, who was hugging the other party, replied in a low voice: "But in this case, your previous agreement-"
"Ah, are you afraid that I will lose... our previous fight?" Duan Qing began to regain his energy gradually, and shook his head with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I didn't plan to win this way."
"As for that handsome cowboy...whether he wants to beat me in this round, it's hard to say."
Following Duan Qing's words, Lotu, who could not afford to be seriously injured, had completely disappeared in the sound of a gunshot from the handsome guy Jack in front. At this time, the cowboy warrior was waving the long sword in his hand and pressing forward step by step, towards the Knights Templar. The only remaining Yangtze River No. 7 team launched its final wave of attacks. The strength was not top-notch in the first place, and Yangtze River No. 7, which could barely resist the opponent's flurry of guns and swords, was naturally no match for the Borderlands president. However, under the influence of the galaxy-like black aura that had not yet dissipated, , Handsome Jack's movements and moves gradually became less agile and faster than before: "——The interference from the domain aura is still there, so Jack can't win quickly."
"Victory is only a matter of time. But——"
"Yes, I am more concerned about the other side. Rather than worrying about whether Sky-Breaking Blade will give in, I am more concerned about what tricks he will play next - the situation just now was really weird. Why? It looks like he was shot on purpose."
"Besides luring the archer out and killing him, I have another guess... Wait, let's watch the next wave first."
During the discussion between the two commentators outside the field, the battlefield situation that was about to evolve to the end finally ushered in its end. The handsome guy Jack, who used short-range shooting as a pioneering method, finally cut through everything with accuracy in the change of rhythm. The ground grabbed the ankle of Yangtze River No. 7 that had not yet completely pulled away. In the thrilling scene of bloodshed and the screams of injuries, the staggering steps of the Yangtze River No. 7, which was stepping on broken bones on the ground, became more obvious. The already hesitant resisting posture finally showed great strength in the next moment. The flaw, the rising sword edge and the shadow of handsome Jack suddenly passing by met in the air for a moment: "——You lost."
"Hey hey hey hey."
With the sharp blade pressed against his throat, Yangtze River No. 7's laughter seemed a little distorted as his body kept leaning back: "What does this mean? Why don't you start?"
"You are the last living person left in this area. There are still some things I want to take the opportunity to ask." With the other hand, he pressed his cowboy hat. Handsome Jack's sharp eyes also followed the action of raising his sword. Stretching forward: "Including the information about this furnace, the information inside your magic empire... If you tell it, I can spare your life."
"Issuing a death threat to a player? Are you kidding?" Yangtze River No. 7 shook his cheeks: "There is no loss for me by taking my life now, so why should I answer your question?"
"It is better to die by my sword than to die in the hands of those people over there." Without immediately giving up his seemingly absurd threat, the handsome man Jack smiled with a half-chin smile. It became more and more intense: "Especially Mr. Sky-Breaking Blade - don't forget that there is an agreement between the two of us."
"I have already obtained Luo Tu's head. If I take away yours again, it will be victory." He gestured towards the gray-robed figure slumped in Xue Ling Huan Bing's arms in the distance: "And if I take this If the heads are given away, I won’t be able to win against the Sky-Severing Blade.”
"... Ridiculous." Yangtze River No. 7's face became even weirder: "Do you think this form of 'winning' can really be called defeating the Sky-Breaking Blade? Even if it is, why should I cooperate with you? ? If you just kill me with one knife, won’t it be over?”
"...It seems that you and I are not on the same page." So handsome Jack sighed for the last time: "Then let me ask you one last question."
"Where is Ricas?"
There was a momentary tremor in the eyes, and Yangtze River No. 7 suddenly slammed his head towards the sharp blade in front of him. The handsome boy Jack, who had been closely observing the opponent for any clues, naturally would not give the opponent a chance to commit suicide easily. Withdrawing his sword, he The young swordsman who rushed forward fell to the ground. Amid the strange glances surrounding him, the young cowboy tried his best to restrain the hands and feet of the player who was still struggling under him. The proud look in his eyes followed the Yangtze River No. 7 The struggling movements gradually became smaller and turned into disappointment, until the body under the restraints lost its original vitality at the same time: "Hey, are there so many ways to commit suicide in this world?"
"Is that the goal you've been looking for?" Duan Qing from a distance asked confidently, sounding like he had recovered from his previous severe injury and near-death state: "What is your so-called 'hidden mission'?"
"..."
Without answering the other party's question, the cowboy soldier just stood up holding the brim of his hat. He packed up his weapons and equipment casually, and then walked slowly towards the direction of the gray-robed magician: "Forget it. , let’s continue.”
"Hey, hey, do we still need to continue?" Duan Qing, who was lying in Xue Ling Huan Bing's arms, blinked his eyes: "Didn't you already win?"
"It was agreed that the person who gets two heads wins, but I only got one." Pointing behind him, the handsome guy Jack answered with a voice that seemed a little uninterested: "That coward who committed suicide, I can't The shame is all on myself.”
"But even so, you are better than me... forget it." He stopped mid-sentence, and Duan Qing then showed himself to the other party: "You have also seen my current situation. Not dying is a miracle, but I don't have it. I can continue to duel with you."
"Ever since you appeared in the Lesser Andacier Mountains, you have been seriously injured again and again." Handsome guy Jack seemed to sneer at Duan Qing's answer: "But I haven't seen any improvement in your fighting skills since then. is declining, and there is even a vague tendency to release... Tell me, what are you hiding?"
"Don't look at me with such suspicion. We are teammates and companions along the way." The innocence in Duan Qing's expression became more obvious: "Including the previous admission of defeat, I was also very sincere. Who knows that you still don’t recognize it——”
boom!
I don't know what kind of clues he had seen from Duan Qing's countless subtle movements before, but handsome Jack fired a gun in a certain direction where the two were confronting each other. The crisp gunfire and the subsequent violent explosion also made Duan Qing hug him. Qing's Snow Spirit Huanbing tensed up, and the atmosphere became tense to the extreme amid the countless dragon bone fragments blooming and scattering: "You seem to have been caring about that side, what's over there?"
"..."
"Whatever was there, there's nothing there now."
Faced with Duan Qing's silent reaction, the handsome face of the cowboy blowing the barrel of a gun was now cast in a shadow: "Look at the power - the quality of this 'condensed explosive bomb' is real Yes, even the large dragon's crest bone buried inside has been blasted to pieces... huh?"
"You guys haven't been aiming at the keel here, have you?" The focus shifted from Duan Qing's focus to Xue Ling Huan Bing. Handsome Jack raised his hat in a gesture: "Is there something hidden here? What are you wearing that I don’t know about?”
"There is indeed something hidden here, but it shouldn't be what you think."
Finally responding to the other party's words, Duan Qing curled his lips and tilted his head to one side: "The Millennium Secret Realm, the Eye of the Furnace, and the earth structure transformed by the Magic Empire - so many strange factors intertwined, it's like Even Violet and I can't sort out all this in a short time."
"Have you been observing?" Handsome Jack began to slowly point his gun at the man in front of him: "Do you have an answer?"
"Maybe, but it's probably not what you want." Duan Qingshi replied calmly: "Is this the style of the Free City? Can we not just point guns at others? Our imperial capital The foreigners who come here are very timid.”
"This is a great opportunity to kill the Sky-Breaking Blade in one fell swoop. Whether it's the Templar Knights just now or the contestants lining up behind me, which one of us is not striving for such an opportunity?" Handsome Jack said. He shook his head without hesitation: "Although I have some personal principles, I am not as strict as them. I have the final say here. If I don't make good use of this opportunity to talk about others, I might as well quit and just leave it at that." Retreating."
"Well, I do have a reason to stay here."
After staring at the other party for a while, Duan Qing finally believed that the other party might pull the trigger: "For that reason, I can't just be killed by you - what do you want to know?"
"Everything you know." Handsome Jack slightly moved the muzzle of his gun: "Whether it is useful or not, I will judge by myself."
"Let me think about where to start." Still gesturing to Xue Ling Huan Bing behind him not to act rashly, Duan Qing's voice sounded calm and indifferent again: "Let's start with the earth veins of this place: according to our From the long-term detection, the earth veins here have always been in a state of 'suspending'. That is to say, although the surrounding earth veins are connected to the earth veins here, there is still a feeling of being separated from each other. Of course - "
"After coming here and seeing all this, these questions have been easily solved." Speaking of this, the gray-robed magician pointed at the huge energy beam shrouding the three figures: "But another question came immediately. On the table: Is there any possibility of 'borrowing' the entrance and exit of the earth's veins that have been so distorted?"
"……What's the meaning?"
"Don't you understand? Then let's talk from another angle."
As if he could see the doubts that were gradually swelling in the heart of the man in front of him like a balloon, the smile in Duan Qing's eyes became even brighter: "Each of us - including you - came with our own purposes, and we What did they sense before arriving here? For me, it was because of the flow of earth veins and magical energy, for Fura, it was because of the Dragon Tomb, and for Violet, it was because... ahem, there is another person, you may not know this yet. Whoever it is, that’s this beautiful lady behind me.”
"Guess what she sensed?"
Pointing slightly towards the cold and pretty face that was close to Chi Chi, the gray-robed magician asked strangely.
