Chapter 21 Encounter

The assassin came suddenly and disappeared decisively.

Lan Wu looked around uneasily, killed three rotting corpses that had just crawled out of the ground, and summoned the three skeletons. With the help of these three skeletons, he finally confirmed that the assassin had really left.

But Lan Wu still didn't dare to be careless.

The terrain and environment in the cave made the assassin feel at home. Lacking the necessary displacement skills, Lan Wu was unable to get close at all. After all, an assassin who has learned acceleration is faster than other professions.

For two days, Lan Wu unquestionably asked Flora not to act without authorization. He took an angry Flora and three skeletons to a cave to set up camp.

It's very narrow here, about the same size as half a basketball court. There are exits at both ends of the cave, so you don't have to worry about being blocked, so you can catch turtles in an urn. Three skeletons that are not affected by darkness occupy one end of each, and there is one more rotation.

After setting up a warning, Lan Wu took out a blanket and a few pieces of wood, lit a bonfire in the cave, and made plans to hang out here until the gambling fight was over. He had no intention of continuing to farm equipment until he figured out a way to deal with the mysterious assassin.

Even if he no longer plans to continue buying equipment, Lan Wu is not idle. The two skeletons each guarded one end, and the remaining skeleton went out under his command to find lone zombies nearby to gain some experience. It rotates with the other two skeletons every once in a while. As a result, the equipment cannot be farmed, but the experience gained is better than nothing.

The only one who was unhappy was Flora. The Eye of Courage she had just acquired made her confident, and she wanted to show her current strength all the time. Lan Wu was so negative, so naturally she rolled her eyes.

Lan Wu ignored her. This little girl is a bit rebellious, but she abides by the ethics of a mercenary. On the surface, he lost his temper, but in fact he was very obedient and stayed in this temporary camp.

Lan Wu usually studied the book of identification and teased Flora in his spare time. Lan Wu enjoyed himself and lived a very relaxed life. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. He didn't want to cause trouble and put himself in crisis. Unfortunately, the crisis came to us.

"That damn assassin ran this way. I saw it clearly."

Suddenly an angry voice floated into the cave. Almost at the same time, Lan Wu and Flora tensed up. Both of them remembered this familiar voice. Who else but that savage Glasgow could speak so loudly as if he would die if he didn't scream at the top of his lungs?

"It's not far from us." Flora was very nervous.

"And it's coming this way." Lan Wu looked calm and added seriously as if it was none of his own business.

"We can't beat them yet." Flora stared at the Eye of Courage in her hand, feeling very frustrated.

"That's not necessarily the case." Lan Wu smiled strangely, took out some water and put out the bonfire. The fire went out, and the +2 illumination range attribute of the Eye of Courage came into play again. The blue light inside the cave was shining brightly, but that didn't worry me.

"Put away the Eyes of Courage." Lan Wu ordered with piercing eyes, staring at the exit from which the voice came.

Flora was confused. She closed the Eye of Courage as she was told, and darkness returned to the cave again. Just as a gust of wind blew, she shivered and hurriedly slipped to Lan Wu's side, holding his hand and muttering softly: "You want to sneak attack them?"

Lan Wu smiled and said nothing, suddenly raised his hand to cover Flora's mouth, and quickly retreated to the corner. Flora was confused and struggled to ask aloud. Unexpectedly, a whisper suddenly drifted into my ears: "Shh, she's here."

After hearing what Lan Wu said, Flora immediately calmed down. But his right hand had already reached into the space bag and clenched the Eye of Courage. She already knew who the "she" in Lan Wu's mouth was referring to.

Not long after, a burst of rapid but gentle footsteps echoed in the silent cave. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Flora's eyebrows were raised, and half of her bow had reached the mouth of the space bag. Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder, and at the same time she heard Lan Wu's urgent and low urging: "Do it."

Flora suddenly became energetic and immediately took out the Eye of Courage. A faint blue light flashed, dispelling the darkness in the cave. In the blue light, a petite assassin with a childish appearance stopped in his tracks with a look of surprise.

Lan Wu let go of Flora, walked forward with a smile, and blocked the assassin's way. The three skeletons blocked the only way out in a tacit understanding. He spread his hands and said with a smile: "I mean no harm..."

Before he finished speaking, the assassin suddenly raised his hand. A fire-making device as small as a matchbox flew towards me. She struck very quickly, and Lan Wu's reaction was not slow either.

Almost at the same time, Lan Wu pulled out the scepter from the space bag. The next second, a fiery red fire-resistant halo appeared at the feet of him, Flora and even the three skeletons.

There was an explosion. Lan Wu waved his hand to disperse the smoke, looked down at the blackened equipment, then raised his head and smiled nonchalantly: "You should know that the fire resistance aura has a very high fire resistance. You can't do it in a short time yet. Kill both of us."

In just two sentences, the assassin has obviously admitted this fact. She stared at Lan Wu and Flora cautiously without saying a word. But Lan Wu could see clearly. This little assassin, who was only fourteen years old at most, had something secretly in his hand.

"Your time is running out." Lan Wu smiled.

As if to verify Lan Wu's words. Glasgow's loud voice boomed again: "I heard an explosion. That assassin must be in trouble."

Immediately afterwards, Gross's inexplicably arrogant voice also sounded: "Quiet, she can't escape our grasp."

Lan Wu shrugged his shoulders and looked at the little assassin with a smile. The look in his eyes clearly said that if he wasn't going to speak yet, then he would really become a villain.

Faced with this silent threat, the little assassin showed hesitation, and finally stammered in a low voice: "What... do you want?"

Her voice was clear and slightly childlike. It just didn't have any emotion, it was as empty as a puppet. Apparently she seldom spoke, so even the most basic communication seemed very awkward.

"I want to join forces with you to deal with the three of them." Lan Wu made no secret and told the truth.

"I object." Flora pouted immediately when she heard that Lan Wu was going to join forces with the assassin who once wanted to kill her, with a look of displeasure on her face.

The little assassin remained silent, his brows clearly agreeing with Flora's objection. After all, these two people were assassinated not long ago. She still couldn't accept the fact that the victim suddenly proposed to join forces with her.

"Don't you want to win the gambling fight?" Lan Wu tilted his head and looked at Flora in a strange way.

"I want to win. But there is no need for us to join forces with her." Flora insisted on her opinion and refused to give in at all.

"If we don't join forces with her, how can we defeat the three of them?" Lan Wu had a headache. Every time like this, I have to spend some time to educate this little girl about science. He pointed at himself, then at Flora and the assassin in turn, then spread his hands and explained: "If the three of us join forces, there is at least a 70% chance of defeating the three of them. If we don't join forces, the three of them will 100% able to kill us."

"We can escape before they come." Flora was still worried about joining forces with this assassin.

"But running away is not the solution to the problem." Lan Wu smiled and explained patiently: "They seem to be stronger than us, but they have a fatal weakness. As long as you grasp this weakness, it is not difficult to defeat them. Of course, the most important thing is The reason is that we have to defeat them face to face before they will be wary and dare not attack us rashly. As long as we do this, they will not dare to attack us until the battle is over. Kill us."

"This is impossible." Flora said with disbelief: "They are higher level than us and have better equipment than us. Even if we can defeat them once, how could they never attack us again?"

"Do you want us to have a bet?" Lan Wu looked at Flora with a smile.

"Just bet." Flora took the bait and glanced at her disdainfully.

Just when the two reached a consensus, the little assassin suddenly stammered: "They are only a few hundred meters away from here."

Flora wakes up. Now is the time to bet. The important thing is to reach a consensus before the three Grosses arrive, whether to escape or to stay and fight. She tugged at Lan Wu anxiously. The latter smiled, ignored her, and waved to the assassin.

The little assassin hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward. Lan Wu gave a few instructions in a low voice, then pulled Flora back with a smile, while waving his hand without looking back.

"What did you say to her?" Flora was still worried about this assassin and didn't bother to get close to her at all, so she couldn't hear Lan Wu's words clearly.

"Whether she can win or not depends on her." Lan Wu smiled and pulled Flora out of the cave. The three skeletons followed closely behind them, protecting the two of them like loyal servants.

After walking more than twenty meters, it was already a straight road. Lan Wu stopped and urged in a low voice: "Lie down quickly and pretend to be seriously injured."

Flora understood instantly. But she hasn't yet figured out whether this little trick can be hidden from the Gross trio. She sat against the stone wall as told, pretending to be seriously injured. As soon as she sat down, Lan Wu suddenly roared angrily: "It's you, the assassin, again. Oh no, Flora..."

While Lan Wu roared, he quickly poured a mouthful of water into his mouth, and then squirted it out. Soon, the loud voice of Glasgow came from the front.

"Ha, it's that kid. I remember his voice."

"Glasgow, be careful of fraud." Gross was still cautious and did not let down his guard.

"Even if they join forces, they are no match for us." Glasgow was nonchalant and did not hide his contempt for Lan Wu and others.

Soon, the fire lit up from the other end. The sound of dense footsteps came, and the three of Gross saw Lan Wu and that alternative Rogge.
