Chapter 24 Dimensionality Reduction Strike
Through the conversation just now, Li Yuan was immediately convinced that these people were coming for the dragon-slaying team.
Before Heinrich was executed, he mentioned that Princess Fred had left a back-up force, and I am afraid that these people were one of the back-ups.
When Heinrich's team failed to return on time, they were ordered to investigate the situation.
If Zhenna had not died, they would have completed the mission on behalf of Heinrich's team.
These people hold the profession of assassins. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are not as good as Heinrich's team, but in terms of sneak investigation and killing, they are far more professional than the knights.
Naturally, Li Yuan cannot let go of these three assassins who have sneaked into the master level!
Seeing one of their companions being killed instantly, the remaining two assassins gasped.
But their reaction speed was also very fast. One of them reacted and waved his right hand, instantly throwing a throwing dagger, which accurately penetrated the gap in Li Yuan's armor.
The throwing dagger is not only quenched with enough poison to kill large monsters, but also has a curse that can resist the Holy Light and Healing spells. For ordinary people, after being hit by a knife, the remaining time is only enough time to leave a last message.
The material of the dagger was also unusual, and with the assassin's honed throwing skills, it was even strong enough to penetrate chainmail.
But unfortunately, it seems that it cannot penetrate the dragon scales.
The dagger that penetrated the gap in the armor made a crisp collision sound.
"Oh?" Li Yuan ignored the dagger inserted in the gap, turned his gaze to the direction where the dagger was thrown, and met the assassin's gaze.
The assassin saw amber light shining in the "Knight's" helmet, and at the same time, a powerful pressure surged toward his face.
Longwei!
It's the red dragon! ! !
The locked assassin felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His will was strong enough to resist the pressure of the red dragon, but the impending death still made him feel piercing fear.
The attack just launched caused his concealment effect to be broken, and now the red dragon has discovered him!
Flames suddenly erupted from the inside of the knight's armor, and Li Yuan released his dragon body again. The expanded body caused the knight's armor to break into pieces like a blown balloon.
The assassin turned around and ran away. At this moment, he could only hope that he could use his physical skills to make the red dragon follow him, and then find an opportunity to use his stealth ability to erase his presence.
Li Yuan breathed out in his mouth, and the fire emerged in his mouth, becoming stronger and stronger.
The assassin suddenly felt lucky that the red dragon did not rush over immediately, but stood there and tried to kill him with its breath. The distance between them was no longer reachable by the adult red dragon's breath. In this time, he increased the distance to more than thirty meters.
Maybe you can escape!
As soon as this lucky idea came out of his mind, Li Yuan sprayed out the brewing dragon flame bomb.
The fireball traced a blazing trajectory, diagonally downwards like a cannonball and blasted straight towards the fleeing assassin.
The fireball did not hit the assassin directly, but landed only a few steps away from the assassin.
There was a loud bang and the fireball exploded violently.
The shock wave lifted the assassin's entire body away, and the wave of flames ignited his broken body.
When he landed on the ground, he could only breathe out but not in.
"The second one." Li Yuan thought to himself, and at the same time he jumped up and flapped his wings to take off.
The last person is a female assassin and the commander of the three. She has opened a distance of more than 100 meters from the red dragon.
When she heard the strange sound of the dagger piercing the gap in the armor, she judged in time what they had encountered, immediately abandoned her subordinates who had no chance of survival, remained hidden, and turned around to escape.
She must escape alive and pass back the information she got!
At this time, she felt the raging wind and waves behind her, and she immediately guessed that the red dragon was taking off, and was ready to launch a search from the air to see if there were any intruders.
But she didn't panic at all. He never released the concealment state from beginning to end, and her concealment was also enhanced by magic weapons. From a certain distance, the red dragon could not easily detect her!
There was an open space in front of her that was easy to be discovered. The assassin did not stop. She still had full confidence in her concealment ability.
The dazzling firelight illuminated the dark night, and a pillar of fire suddenly fell from the sky and struck the open rocky ground!
A raging heat wave rushed towards her face. The female assassin hurriedly stopped, turned her head suddenly, and saw the red dragon swooping down towards her!
The huge body of the red dragon hit the ground, knocking down several trees and kicking up large amounts of sand and dust.
In desperation, the female assassin jumped out like an agile leopard, rolling to avoid the red dragon's claws.
As soon as he landed, Li Yuan spun around and swept across a large area with his long tail.
The female assassin quickly stood up when the dragon's tail swept towards her, jumped up to a tree, and jumped again when the tree was interrupted by the middle, thus avoiding the sweep of the dragon's tail.
How could this red dragon find its position so accurately?
Rather, how could he be sure that there was a third intruder?
The female assassin was shocked as huge dragon claws quickly appeared from the sand.
Oops! !
The female assassin hurriedly turned her body to dodge, but the range of the dragon's claws was too large.
She was easily grasped by the red dragon, and the terrifying grip suddenly tightened her body, leaving her breathless.
She subconsciously performed escape techniques. The ability of this assassin profession allowed her to easily break free from ropes and shackles.
But this time it was not a dead object that restrained her. As soon as Li Yuan noticed her movements, he squeezed a little tighter, and the sound of broken ribs suddenly sounded.
The female assassin let out a short scream and bit her lips to hold back.
"You can't escape. Answer my question and I will spare your life." Li Yuan said coldly, "Tell me, who sent you here?"
His goal at the beginning was to capture a living person for questioning. The assassin There were three people. In order to ensure that no one escaped, he could only kill two of them first and then capture the remaining one.
"You...can you always see me?" the female assassin spoke out with difficulty.
She didn't know that because of [Watcher's] real vision, Li Yuan could always see them in a hidden state. For them, who pride themselves on their stealth abilities, this function is simply a dimensionality-reducing blow.
"I'm the one asking the question!" Li Yuan glared at the female assassin, released Long Wei at close range, and repeated the question, "Who sent you here?" The
female assassin did not speak.
Li Yuan was thinking about ways to further extract a confession when he suddenly discovered that something was wrong with the female assassin.
Her face turned livid, her whole body was shaking, and a bit of foam overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
poison! !
When Li Yuangang reacted, the female assassin's eyes widened, and then she suddenly collapsed.
She is dead.
Li Yuan was silent for a moment, then casually threw the body of the female assassin in his hand to the ground.
In fact, even if he didn't ask any answers, he had already obtained the core information.
The most optimistic assumptions were shattered here. It was obvious that Princess Fred did not intend to give up easily.
On the other side of the woods, the weasel darted into the bushes and grabbed a vole.
