Chapter 17 Poison
Section 17 Toxic
The boss narrowed his eyes and looked at the strange man walking down from the entrance.
Practice is the best teacher in any world. So although this one-eyed boss has never learned theory, his countless practical experiences have given him an instinctive and subconscious judgment. Therefore, from the other party's body shape, movements, and expression, he can see that this man who came out of nowhere is a tough guy. Especially when he came here with bare hands... From this point of view, the sentry outside has been cleaned up.
The little girl screamed in surprise: "Ashu Rufate!"
Ash Rufate was calm on the surface, but in fact he knew that the situation was not good. After all, there was no way. The sixth brother was too close to the little girl, and the little girl would be held hostage as soon as he tried. In fact, the main reason was that the basement was too big and open, and there was no hiding place. If you move forward a little, you would inevitably be discovered by the other party. Ash Rufate had been lurking at the entrance for a while, but these guys were very alert.
Force is not the best way to solve this problem. Maybe it is possible to intimidate and defeat the enemy without fighting.
"Your Majesty," said Ashu Rufate, "I'm late, and I've been frightened."
The one-eyed boss's face changed a little. He remembered the little girl's claim just now, but he didn't care about it just now. Now he thinks that this matter is mysterious. A little girl who was kidnapped often carries out his parents and scares him, but he doesn't say what queen he is. The more noble the family is, the less he will say it randomly.
The boss is the boss after all. He understands that based on his years of experience in gangs and common sense about the current state of this country, he believes in the accidental capture of the queen.
After a person learns of such "exceeding" things, his reactions are diverse. At least, the boss was not scared by the things like "I actually caught the queen" as Ash Rufate hoped. On the contrary, ideas such as "something goods are alive" and "I want to play a big ticket" have the upper hand. Wealth and honor are seeking risks and profits, and there are mottos like this in any world. Seizing the queen's affairs is an opportunity to fall from the sky...
Of course, if the villain leader could calm down and think about it carefully, he might find that his situation was far from that wonderful. This was not the king who had fought and caught the other party, and could justify the ransom without fear of revenge. But at this time, the instinctive greed in the hearts of human beings rushed to his forehead, and he didn't have so much time to think so deeply.
Since we have made such a judgment, there is only one problem left on the road to a better future - this guard who shouldn't have appeared.
"Go!" The boss made a gesture. The two subordinates pulled out their daggers. To be honest, weapons such as daggers and daggers are not the best choice for melee combat, but they are better than being able to be easily hidden close to each other and can be taken out easily. In addition, if this weapon is used for raids, the effect is also quite good.
At this moment, Ash Rufate was standing on the steps at the entrance of the basement. It was difficult to siege this position, so he could only come up one by one. So the one-eyed boss soon saw his two subordinates being knocked down by this naked-handed opponent, and the other party snatched a short sword. The two subordinates were kicked off the steps, and they didn't know if they were hit by the head or the bones were broken in a heavy blow. In short, he just moaned slightly, but could no longer stand up. The other fell to the ground with a stern face facing the sky. The intimate contact between the back of his head and the hard ground made him faint.
The boss's remaining eyes blinked suddenly, "Go up." He said to the other subordinates a little calmly, and even a little coldly.
Except for the one called "Lao Liu", several other villains rushed up. The result was soon out. Ashu Rufate occupied the territory - the steps made them unable to siege, and they could only rush up one by one. So the result of the battle was not unexpected at all. When the three villains fell down, the best one was struggling on the ground but could not get up. Fortunately, Ashu Rufate only used the dagger in his hand to block the block and did not use it to attack. So although these five guys could not move for a while, they were actually not fatal injuries.
"Boss..." Lao Liu turned his head and looked at the boss, but the other party just nodded slightly at him.
Lao Liu put down his prey (although the little girl was awake at this time, she could not move freely, so she could not find an opportunity to escape), pulled out a long dagger from her lower back and rushed towards Ashu Rufate. Ashu Rufate had also walked down the steps - because he had only faced one enemy, he had no need to stand there anymore.
Lao Liu rushed up, but his fighting style was different from that of others. Rather than saying that he was attacking, he was defending. In addition, he was also the strongest among all. He was quick and quick to react, and his skill in using daggers was remarkable. But a short while later, he was still knocked down. Ashu Rufate used his dagger to use a short sword, hitting his chin with a punch, knocking him unconscious, and lying on the ground and never moving again.
Now, there was only one-eyed boss here. But even at this moment, the boss did not express anything. On the contrary, he looked confident and sat there waiting, just watching the little girl who was walking to the side, and did not even try to use this last chance to stop him.
To be honest, both Ashu Rufate and the little girl can see this now - this boss with only one eye is either an idiot or a madman. In fact, he had many methods to use in this situation, so that Ashu Rufate could not play a role no matter how strong Ashu Rufate was. Not to mention anything else, just pressing the dagger towards the little girl's neck can make Ashu Rufate's head both ends.
Ashu Rufate stood next to the little girl. Now he couldn't understand the one-eyed boss even more. The latter was tossing and turning around and playing with a dagger, while looking at Ashu Rufate with a fierce smile. If it weren't for the five knocked down villains around, and the bare rock walls around, Ashu Rufate would have misunderstood that he had fallen into the other party's trap.
"What are you... laughing?" Ashu Rufate faced the one-eyed dragon vigilantly. It must be said that although he felt that the one-eyed dragon was not very strong through a warrior intuition, the other party's confident attitude made people feel very uneasy. If he had not been absolutely sure, no matter how good people were, they would not have done such a thing.
"Just just laugh." The one-eyed boss stood up, still playing with the dagger in one hand. However, he did not walk towards Ashu Rufate, but walked around for a little half circle and stood at the basement entrance stairs. Of course, during this process, Ashu Rufate did not try to attack actively, but just kept a vigilant posture. Because he couldn't understand what the opponent wanted to do, everything was to be careful. "Did the guard, do you feel your feet paralyzed?"
Ash Rufate showed a surprised expression on his face.
"Hahahaha...did you think I was stupid just now?" said the one-eyed boss. "Yes, a normal way is to catch your queen immediately and use it as a hostage. But that is normal way. To be honest, what I was afraid of just now was that you ran away. Because if you escape... things will become very troublesome. Because you see my face, it's not good."
"You mean... are you attracting me down?" Ashu Rufat asked. "Can you beat me?"
"Under normal circumstances, it's very difficult." The one-eyed villain replied. "I admit that as the Queen's guard, there are a few brushes. But now... Dear Mr. Guard, do you feel that the paralysis on your legs is gradually spreading? Hahaha..." He reached out and picked up something from a corner on the side of the steps and shook it. "Do you know this thing? This is called blowing... Of course, I use springs here."
He turned his head to face Ashu Rufate, his voice full of pride. "Our people will never step on the third step, because there is a thin line on this step... As long as someone step on this line, it will trigger the blowing arrow and shoot a needle into that guy!"
Ashu Rufate lowered his head and pulled out a sharp fine needle from his left leg's pants. Because it was too sharp, he almost didn't feel it just now, but he could also feel that it was not really pierced.
"Just one needle..." Ashu Rufate said, throwing the needle casually.
"Yes, this needle is not valuable," replied the one-eyed villain. "What is valuable is the poison above. It is said to be a magic poison, and the effect is very strong... Your left leg should have lost consciousness now. Don't look at you standing, but in fact it's difficult for you to even take a step."
The little girl completely changed her face because she saw the one-eyed villain's smug smile and the solemn expression of Asu Rufate.
"At the beginning, there was almost no feeling, but in just a few minutes, the poison would take effect quickly. This poison is so awesome." The one-eyed villain laughed. "Okay, Mr. Guard, you are really amazing. You have defeated so many of my subordinates in one go. So although I'm sure you are unable to move now, it will take some time to really fall down. And I have no time to waste."
His face changed and became ferocious and vicious, and there was an extra crossbow in his hand. He pointed his target at Ash Rufate's chest.
"Go to die." He pulled the trigger of the crossbow.
At the last moment when his fingers were buckled, Ashu Rufate jumped up suddenly, as strong as a leopard. The one-eyed villain looked at Ashu Rufate in surprise and rolled to the side, standing steadily, without any sign of poisoning at all. But he himself felt a suffocation in his chest. He tried to breathe, but found that he could not breathe. The red, hot liquid sprayed out of his neck, moistening his clothes and pants. The strength of his body also quickly passed and fell down quickly.
While Ash Rufate had just jumped away from the crossbow arrow, he also threw out the short sword in his hand and hit the opponent's neck.
"Ashu Rufate, you..." The little girl looked at her in surprise. Aeshu Rufate slapped her pants, her movements were very natural and smooth, and there was no sign of poisoning at all.
"I didn't ejaculate in my pants." Asu Rufate explained. Then he walked to the little girl and pulled her up. As mentioned earlier, the little girl's body was still in a half-numb state and could not move freely.
"What are you doing alone?" he asked bluntly.
"Ignorance!" The little girl was stunned and suddenly burst out. "You dare to talk to me like this!"
"You are the queen if others admit you. If others don't admit you, you are nothing!" Ash Rufate replied. "Do you know what the consequences will be for you to do this? Didn't you teach enough lessons last time?"
"Let go!" The little girl struggled in anger. Ashu Rufat let go of her hand, and she immediately fell a very strong butt and squatted.
"Do you understand? You must know what you can do and what you can do, and don't cause trouble for the people around you." Ashu Rufate said with a fierce expression. "If you are sold like this... you are your own fault, but many innocent people will be unlucky."
"You...you..." The little girl was angry and scared, her whole body was trembling, and she couldn't speak.
