Chapter 7 I cheated

The moon was dark and the wind was high. Herague was speeding forward in the mountain forest, with Sean following closely behind.

His speed is faster than Herague, but in the mountain forest, due to the obstruction of trees, his movement is hindered.

"Damn! How come this kid is so familiar with this place!" Sean cursed secretly.

Herage moved forward at full speed throughout the journey, as if he knew exactly what was behind each tree, and those who didn't know thought he had grown up here.

What's more important is that while moving forward, Herage turned around and shot an arrow.

The timing of each arrow shot was extremely precise, just when Sean was about to burst into acceleration. A cold arrow shot over, forcing him to twist his body to avoid it, and in the blink of an eye he was further away from Hera.

This made Sean feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly, and he felt a little strange: "Is it such a coincidence?"

After repeating this several times, Sean finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Go to hell, kid!"

"An unknown energy burst has been detected in the opponent's body. It is expected to increase strength by 7, agility by 1, and constitution by 5."

Whoosh!

A chill ran down Herage's back. This was the first time he heard a person moving at such a speed make such a sound.

"Dodge to the left and forward!" Shenlan gave a hint.

Herage didn't hesitate at all. He just dodged Sean and killed him. The dagger in his hand stabbed the enemy in the air.

"Huh? How is that possible!" Sean was very surprised. His extremely confident killing blow was actually dodged.

Herage accelerated and ran forward again. He felt that his speed had reached the limit.

Sean used special means to greatly improve his physical fitness, and his current speed is simply not comparable to Herague.

"Lower your body and roll forward!" Shen Lan gave the prompt again.

Herage immediately followed Shenlan's instructions. To complete these evasive maneuvers while moving forward at high speed was very demanding on the body.

At this time, the benefits of practicing the Earth Breathing Method became apparent. Herage insisted on doing the breathing method every day, and he was now able to control his body freely.

Sean's dagger passed Herrag's head, a strand of hair fell down, and he stabbed in the air again.

"There's something weird about this kid!" Sean didn't believe that a kid who wasn't even a knight could dodge his fatal blow twice in a row.

"Dodge and hide behind the tree on the right, draw your sword and block behind!"

Herage did as he was told and hid behind a tree, keeping his sword behind him.

Ding!

There was a clear sound of metal collision. When Herage looked back, Sean's dagger actually penetrated the tree trunk and hit the sword. The violent impact made Herage's sword-holding hand numb.

When Sean saw this scene, he was surprised and asked: "Why does this kid seem to know what I am going to do in advance every time?"

He thought that in theory this could be done. Because every time you attack, the muscle strength and movements of your whole body will change. As long as you observe these in advance, you can predict your attack method.

But it all happened in an instant, and the kid was running forward without looking behind him the whole time. How did he know all this?

"Hold the sword to block the front!"

clang!

Sean suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a dagger and heading towards Herage's face.

But this attack was predicted again, and Herage firmly blocked the attack with his long sword.

"Damn it!" Sean was a little angry. Every time he made a move, it seemed as if this kid had seen through it.

"Wait!" Sean's breathing suddenly became disordered, and he held his forehead in pain.

Herage breathed a sigh of relief: "It finally worked. I thought this poison was ineffective on you. Your blood flow must have accelerated a lot since you just launched an attack, so the poison took effect faster."

"That arrow was poisonous..." Sean recalled that he had only been hit by an arrow that time.

There are two kinds of arrows in Herage's quiver, one is an ordinary arrow, and the other is a poisoned arrow.

The poison comes from an inconspicuous grass outside the castle. After testing the dark blue grass, its roots are dried and distilled, and a colorless and odorless poison can be extracted.

As an assassin, Sean is also an expert in using poison, but this poison is colorless and odorless. There were no symptoms when he was first poisoned, so he didn't notice it.

This is a neurotoxin, and Sean's intense exercise just now accelerated the onset of the toxicity.

"Die!" Sean took the dagger and started to attack crazily. He understood that only by killing Herage would he have a chance to find the antidote.

However, his strength was greatly reduced in the poisoned state, and every attack was easily blocked by Herage.

"We have to run away." He felt that his breathing was a little short, and he could no longer use his hands and feet freely. If he didn't run away, he would die at the hands of Herage.

Sean stared at Herrag, and then disappeared into the darkness. As an assassin, he had many means of escape.

Herage stood there and smiled, then unhurriedly bent his bow and arrow, aiming at an open space not far away.

call out!

Sean screamed and appeared, with a bow and arrow stuck on his back.

Under Deep Blue's precise calculations, Sean in his prime had to concentrate to avoid Herage's arrows, let alone Sean who was now poisoned.

"How did you find me?" Sean's tone became calmer at this time. He already knew his fate.

Herage said nothing and bent his bow again.

Sean looked directly at Herague, neither dodging nor avoiding. In fact, his legs had lost all feeling. He said solemnly: "Why can you dodge my attacks every time? You are obviously not even a knight."

Herage expressionlessly loosened the tight bow string and said at the same time: "Because... I cheated."

His words and the bow and arrow entered Sean's head at the same time, a flower of blood spattered out, and Sean fell to the ground on his back.

Before he died, his eyes were confused: "What does it mean to open... to hang up..."

These two obscure words were combined, and Sean would never understand their meaning until his death.

After Sean fell to the ground, Herage added two more arrows. It was not until Deep Blue confirmed that he was dead that he slowly approached the body on the ground.

"So poor?"

Herage searched everything and found that there was not even a copper coin on Sean's body, not to mention gold coins.

Sean looks good with just a pair of daggers and nothing else.

After getting rid of Sean, Herage carried a long sword on his back and a long bow in his hand. He looked quietly into the depths of the mountain forest, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a while, he chose to return to the direction of Emil.

He remembered that Jimmy and the others had already run out under his cover, probably going to the castle to find reinforcements.

But the six-day round trip from the castle was too late.

No matter how strong Emil is, he may not be able to deal with two knight-level masters alone, as well as people who are watching and shooting cold arrows outside.

He shuttled quickly through the mountain forest, his black figure like a ghost, swift and silent.
