Returning from the abyss

Chapter 302 Treasure Guard
Lu Ning saw the monster Yan Rong described.

Apart from having a head and limbs, it cannot be said to be a person at all. Since the corridor is completely dark at this time, the "treasure guard" can only be seen clearly when lightning flashes outside the window. However, due to the sound of chains dragging on the floor, , but it is not impossible to distinguish its location.

The pitch-black bandage was more like a shroud, wrapped around its body layer by layer. The bamboo stick seemed to have been used for a long time, and its color was closer to withered yellow.This monster hunched its body and walked along a fixed course of action. Its perception ability seemed to be very poor, at least the place where Lu Ning and others were hiding at the stairs was not noticed.

But here comes the problem, including Yan Rong, although they know that this guy may be very powerful, but they don't know what kind of attack method... Smacking people with bamboo sticks or hitting people with boxes?

"How to try?" Yan Rong lowered his voice and asked.

"Throw something over there?" Qin Yulou said, "Long-range attack test at least we can have reaction time."

"It is not recommended to do this. Liushan has a crossbow. If the long-range attack is really easy to use, this guy would have been killed."

"Trap." Lu Ning pointed at a window in the corridor, "It moves in a wide range and is very regular. Let's wait for it to go far and set a trap at that location, and then hide to see the situation. .”

"Yes, what kind of trap do you want?" Qin Yulou asked.

"Some lethality is enough, it's the material..."

"We have tools and string. It's no problem to make a simple trigger trap, but if there is a threat, we have to use Ning Yeyi's ax."

The treasure guards walked away slowly, and a few people sneaked to the designated location. Qin Yulou measured the distance between the window and the stairs, then picked up the things and started to arrange the mechanism quickly.Several other people guarded him back and forth.In about 5 minutes, Qin Yulou pulled a tripwire with a rope in the corridor at a position close to his knees. This mechanism was connected to an ax that was projected at an angle by a slightly opened window.

"Don't step on the rope, let's retreat." He said in a low voice, and at this time, the sound of bamboo sticks and iron chains in the distance was returning, and the time was just right.

Everyone hid in the corridor again, listening to the sound and estimating the position of the treasure guard. Gradually, it had come to the tripwire.

Just in time, a flash of lightning flashed by at this moment, everything in front of the window lit up at this moment, the treasure guard's knee had already reached the position of the thin line, and with a snapping sound, the ax above the window swirled and went straight to its head All flew over!
But at this moment, a light brighter than lightning shot out from the treasure guard's hand, and the ax was split in two vertically, flew back and forth from the treasure guard's head, and hit the ground.At this moment, the monster stopped and turned to look at the window, which was the direction from which the attack came.

The short-lived light of the lightning dimmed, and there were no enemies in the corridor. After the treasure guard paused for a moment, he continued to walk along the route he should take.

As for Lu Ning and his party, they had already run back downstairs, not even daring to make any louder noises.

"What was it just now?"

Lu Ning didn't see it clearly at all. If it wasn't for the strange shape of the axe, she wouldn't even know that the treasure guard had launched an attack. The speed had simply exceeded the limit of human reaction.

Ning Yeyi, Qin Yulou, and Zhou Weiyuan also shook their heads. The three of them had never practiced skills such as dynamic vision, so they didn't know what kind of attack it was.

Only Yan Rong saw it.

"It's a record of Juhe."

She said, but she couldn't believe it.

"Sword drawing?" Lu Ning asked.

"Yes, it's as simple as that. Pull out the knife and chop the axe, and then retract the knife. There are only two actions in total. The knife...the bamboo stick is the knife."

Yan Rong was already sweating coldly, and she was the only one among these people who knew how difficult it was to deal with.

Those monsters with flashy abilities can be dealt with as long as they find their weak points, but with this simple attack, she thinks that she can't take a single blow anyway. The precision, speed, and destructiveness have exceeded the limit standard of human beings, and the treasure guard Obviously left over.

"To be honest, with my ability, I can't find any solution. The general solution is to use a shield and heavy armor that can block knives, but we obviously don't have that kind of thing." Yan Rong said helplessly, "What about everyone? Is there any way to defeat that monster?"

"Difficult..." Ning Yeyi also considered the problems that Yan Rong was thinking about. She is very clear about the hardness of the axe. It is as easy as cutting tofu with a treasure guard. Even heavy armor in the general sense cannot stop it. Hold a knife.

"Let me ask first, how many knives can this guy hit in an instant?" Lu Ning asked.

Yan Rong glanced at her, thought for a while, and said, "The blow just now didn't reach its limit at all. It's conservatively estimated that he can make ten slashes at the moment he draws the saber, and it may be more. In addition, don't even think about using long-distance strikes." Mo, that speed is enough to cut out the wind of the knife, and it will definitely be dead or disabled when it is cut."

"I know." Lu Ning nodded slightly, "But although it resolved the attack just now, it is enough to prove that its perception ability is very weak, at least it didn't see the rope it pulled up, and it just responded to the flying axe. "

"Because the rope is not threatening." Zhou Weiyuan said, "It should only respond to attacks, and it may react when it sees people, but it will ignore things that are not threatening."

"Whether there is a threat is not up to it." Lu Ning raised the corner of her mouth.

"Do you have a solution?"

"I have an idea, but I hope you all tell me your ultimate strength, because it is impossible to deal with such an enemy without some extreme measures."

==============
If calculated according to the time when he entered, it should be around four o'clock in the morning. Lu Ning stood at the corner of the stairs, holding his breath, listening to the sound of iron chains approaching slowly, and the sound of his feet stepping on the water.

At this time, the corridor on the fourth floor has been flooded with water, and the method is to use a simple water diversion device made of drainage pipes to receive the heavy rain from the window.Under the heavy rain of that density, it didn't take too long, it just took some work to prepare.

Even Lu Ning's feet were soaked with water. After all, the water flowed downhill, but she was already drenched from running in the rain, so she didn't care about it.

Counting silently, the treasure guards were moving along the same route, not very fast. Lu Ning, who had completely calmed down, counted her heartbeats and calculated the distance based on the speed of the guards.

Arrived.

Lu Ning pulled a rope at the bottom of the stairs. At this time, the treasure guard happened to pass a window that poured water into the corridor. The drain pipe suddenly tilted up, and all the water inside was poured on the treasure guard.

At this moment, the treasure guard drew his sword. It was still the lightning-fast blade. This time it was a horizontal cut. The drainpipe and the glass window were perfectly split in two from the middle without any hindrance, but At the same time, water was also poured on the head of the treasure guard.

The sword was sheathed, and at this moment, a black shadow crossed the arc-shaped trajectory outside the window. It was a stone about the size of a football tied with a rope, and it was thrown from above. After calculating the length, The stone hit the window right with a loud bang.The glass couldn't withstand the impact, it was shattered at that time, and rushed towards it together with the stone.

Lu Ning continued to observe, the dense glass shards were naturally different from the threat of the stone in the middle, and it depended on the reaction of the treasure guards.

This time, the treasure guard finally showed its true strength - the dense slashing lines like a fan-shaped light arc lit up from the sheath, and Lu Ning couldn't even tell the sequence. All the broken glass that might have hit the treasure guard was cut open and scattered in other directions. It turned out that it didn't touch its body at all.

And after completing this shocking moment of continuous cohabitation, the treasure guard supported the bamboo stick, squatted down, and became a half-kneeling position.

It has noticed.

The skinny body suddenly burst out with a strong jumping force, and rushed towards the ceiling. At the same time, the knife flashed in his hand. In a moment, the ceiling above his head was cut into pieces, and a hole big enough to allow it to pass appeared appeared. Big hole!
"As expected."

Lu Ning immediately ran upstairs. At this time, Yan Rong on the top of the building must have evacuated, but this was not enough. Since the treasure guards were aware of it, at least some search work was needed.

She ran quickly in the corridor, and the sound of the water was loud, but if it was in a heavy rain, it might not be so clear.

At the same time, Yan Rong upstairs also hid in the stairwell on the top of the building, watching the treasure guard standing upstairs from the shadows, and the first step of guiding it to the top of the building was completed.

"Do you think it can be dropped to death?" Lu Ning asked Yan Rong before carrying out the plan.

"The height of the fourth floor, I may not necessarily fall to my death."

"Stop joking around."

"Well, it definitely won't die from a fall. A body that can withstand the speed of drawing a knife, the toughness and strength are not enough to kill a few floors of the fall."

"That might be a little troublesome."

At this time, Zhou Weiyuan and Qin Yulou knocked on the water tank on the roof of the dormitory opposite. The sound of water, the treasure guard was a little confused for a moment, not knowing which direction the enemy was.

It's a bit silly, but it doesn't affect its invulnerability in melee combat.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "boom" and "boom" sound from the direction of the dormitory next door. This overly clear sound finally attracted the treasure guard, who began to walk towards the railing without holding on to the bamboo stick. Instead, he set up a posture of pressing one hand on the handle of the knife.

Yan Rong retreated, and she needed to rush to the next location quickly, leaving the treasure guards to go to the predetermined location.

click.

It stepped on something, but didn't care, like the string before, it was non-threatening, so it didn't matter.

But is this really the case?
When the other foot was raised, the body of the treasure guard suddenly leaned back—it stepped on the simplest trap, a sliding device made of several iron pipes and a wooden board.If it just fell like this, maybe because of the weight of the box, it was just a somersault, but it still subconsciously supported it with its hands-supported to another wooden board.

In front, less than half a meter away, is the railing, but a gap has already been arranged there.

Half of the treasure guard's body was slid to the outside of the roof, but don't forget that it was still carrying the huge box. At this time, the box just hit the roof and made a dull sound, but it also stopped After defeating the treasure guard, he fell directly from the building.It immediately turned its head and drew its knife to slash a few times on the side wall, cutting a gap in the wall.

This is exactly where Lu Ning just ran to.

If the treasure guard really slipped, it is necessary to stabilize yourself with a knife, or even open a hole to return to the building. The fall will definitely not achieve the desired result.But the current situation is that the cuts made by them in advance on the railing cannot allow the box whose horizontal width is much wider than the treasure guard to pass through, and Lu Ning must not let it realize that the box is stuck.

Seeing that the wall was broken, she immediately cut off the fixing device of the nearest drainpipe, letting it fall downstairs with gravity, and Ning Yeyi, who had finished knocking on the glass downstairs, saw the signal, and went straight from the The window was drilled out.

This window is located obliquely below the treasure guard, and it can be regarded as within the range of vision. The appearance of Ning Yeyi immediately attracted the attention of the treasure guard, and it was not in a hurry to enter the building immediately. It kicked the wall with both feet, and drew the knife like a knife wind Cut it over!
There was a clear sound of piercing through the rain. This power even raised Lu Ning's heart. Fortunately, because the box was stuck, the treasure guard couldn't move a little, and the power of this slash also deviated. Ning Ye Yi rolled in the rain, avoiding the weakened knife wind attack.

In the time gained, a simple shooting device has been set up on the opposite floor. It is a one-time weapon that Qin Yulou has put together. To make it have sufficient lethality at this distance, Qin Yulou has exhausted all his skills.

At the same time as the bowstring sounded, the main body of the shooting device made of wood and iron pieces fell apart, but the crossbow arrows were also fired according to the established trajectory, aiming at the chest of the treasure guard!
But the speed of drawing the sword was faster, and even though the crossbow arrow was so secret, it was still intercepted by the light of the sword from mid-air, and it was still split into two accurately.At this moment, Yan Rong poked his head out from the window on the third floor.

Holding the other half of the ax in her hand, she aimed at the treasure guard from downstairs and threw it with her hands, aiming at the position below the ribs, and with the current posture of the treasure guard, there was really no way to use Iai to cut in that direction.

Ding!
When the treasure guard waved his hand and slashed at Yan Rong, the ax accurately hit its ribs...on the chain.

The chain is not as strong as its knife. The ax finally exerted its due power and broke a link of the chain. Once a link of the intertwined chain is broken, it can no longer support the weight of the treasure guard. It fell directly from the middle of the chain. Although the backhand stabbed the knife into the wall to try to stop the fall, the knife was so sharp that the speed of the fall was only slightly slowed down.

"Goodbye." Lu Ning waved her hands and ran upstairs quickly.

——"We don't have to kill the box to get it."
