Chapter 192: Anderson’s Gift
Matthew was slightly stunned.
The stalwart Lord charged over with a shiny sword in his hand.
Li Weiqi waved his hand.
“The next time you fight, you can negotiate with the enemy first and let her wait for you.”
Rheagar’s face darkened, and he didn’t say anything.
Matthew met the two of them and went to check on Lumiere and Xiuyi.
At this moment, the two of them were already awake. When they recalled the scene just now, their faces turned red.
However, they immediately grimaced in pain.
Matthew quickly took out the healing ointment and applied it on them.
This ointment was made by soaking the extract of Bitter Grass for a long time. It had an extremely strong effect on superficial injuries.
In Baiyan City, this ointment had always been the best seller in all the major apothecaries.
As for why necromancers were so keen on buying medicine to treat superficial wounds, Matthew was puzzled before, but now he suddenly understood something.
After a round of treatment.
Lumiere firmly declared that he had recovered, but he still looked a little scared.
While applying the ointment, he asked Matthew,
“If I encounter such an enemy next time, how should I deal with it?” Matthew thought for a moment.
” There are spirit-killing weapons and ghost protection spells. If you have to take it head-on, you can only rely on our powerful mental strength and will. Or should I say, advancing to Legend will solve your problem.”
Lumiere nodded thoughtfully.
On the other hand, Xiuyi’s situation was dire.
His physical fitness was much worse than Lumiere’s. After being whipped by Matthew, he could not stand up.
The group discussed for a while and decided to send Xiuyi back to the surface before they went too tar into the Undercity.
Along the way.
Matthew also explained the ins and outs of the matter to the duo from Rolling Stone Town.
After listening.
Rheagar said seriously,
“I can understand that you want to protect the rainforest, defeat the Dragon Lich Sect, and even kill Blinken. We are willing to support you.
“However, there’s one thing you have to explain to me!”
Matthew asked,
“What is it?”
Rheagar pointed with his right hand.
“What’s wrong with this child? Matthew, you’re too irresponsible. In Rolling Stone Town, people who have child labour are flogged!”
Matthew followed his finger and looked over.
Bobo raised his head and looked at him with a confused expression. That expression was really like a child who had been kidnapped and sold without knowing it.
In the depths of the cave, beside the square altar. “Emily is dead!”
Anderson suddenly growled in frustration,
“How is this possible? With her ability, if she wanted to escape, no one should be able to stop her!”
Lara calmly persuaded,
“We should retreat, avenger. Don’t be blinded by hatred. A wise man knows how to adapt to the times.”
But Anderson didn’t listen at all.
He only said coldly,
Everything will proceed according to the original plan. We have the altar, the protection of the God of Midnight, and Yurkus. We still have a high chance of winning!”
Lara held her breath.
“Can I quit?”
Anderson looked at her with a sharp gaze.
The elephant-trunk man beside him asked with interest,
“Are we going to fight? Speaking of which, your organization, oh no, now it’s our organization. How do we usually resolve internal conflicts in our organization? Do we vote?
“I’m a very easygoing person. I’ll vote with whoever lets me touch their thigh!”
However, he immediately glanced at Anderson’s lower body, which was covered in bone spikes and iron chains and said without hesitation,
“Forget it, I’ll vote for Lara!”
Anderson roared furiously,
“I am your boss! Bi Qi, get lost! Lara, it seems that you miss your father’s education. Hehe, if you dare to disobey me again, I guarantee that you will be able to relive your last experience!”
Lara recalled that night in the Holy Church, and her entire body trembled uncontrollably.
Her eyes were filled with fear.
“I, I understand!”
She lowered her head to Anderson, her entire face buried in the shadows.
Anderson nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the elephant-trunk man and began his scolding.
The disunity of his subordinates reminded him of that night in Rolling Stone Town.
This gave him a very bad omen. “Perhaps retreating is a better revenge strategy.”
A rare sense of regret rose in his heart.
At this moment, Lara walked over with her head lowered. She looked frightened, and her voice was trembling.
“Anderson, no, Boss, I just don’t think our chances of winning are that high.
“Emily’s strength is above ours. Even if she accidentally encountered a profession that countered her, she wouldn’t die so easily.
“Perhaps, perhaps we should temporarily avoid this. Of course, you’re the boss.”
As she spoke, she walked awkwardly to the other side of Anderson.
Anderson actually had the intention to retreat, but it would be embarrassing if he took back the words he had just said.
Therefore, he made up his mind to say a few more harsh words and wait for Lara to persuade him. Then, he would find a way out and think about it.
Therefore, he said arrogantly,
“Have you forgotten that I am immortal? As long as it’s midnight, I won’t die…
Ahhhh!”
A moment before the scream.
The three knives cut into his neck and skull from different angles.
The two scimitars cut off his head like scissors.
A short knife that was flashing with a red light pierced deep into his skull and out of his neck, completing a penetration!
Anderson’s curses echoed in the cave.
The chains on his lower body suddenly twitched wildly.
But Lara was prepared.
With a nimble roll, she hugged Anderson’s head and hid far away.
Ten seconds later.
Anderson’s headless corpse fell to the ground. Lara slowly closed the eyes of the head in her arms.
She looked at the altar in shock.
It was alright.
Nothing happened.
It seemed like Anderson wasn’t as he had boasted, receiving the attention of the gods all the time.
Opposite the headless corpse.
The elephant-trunk man raised his hands in panic.
“Hey, this is your personal grudge. It has nothing to do with me!”
Lara stared at him coldly.
“Bi Qi, you’re just a mercenary. There’s no need for you to be too loyal to the Church. Do you understand what I mean? Don’t get in my way. Don’t go back to the Holy Church, or you’ll regret it.”
Bi Qi nervously pinched his nose.
“Do I look that stupid? Do you think I still dare to return to the Holy Church after such a thing happened? I don’t want to be the scapegoat. Don’t worry,
Lara. Do you remember that I voted for you just now? We are on the same side.
“I just feel a little unlucky. Why is it that every time I join a new organization, my new boss will be killed by his subordinates? And it’s not even me who did it. This is already the third time!”
Lara hugged Anderson’s head and quickly left. “Then remember to do it yourself next time.”
“What you said makes sense.” Bi Qi followed.
“Where are you going, Lara? Can you bring me along? I just lost my job.”
Rustle!
A cold light flashed.
Lara raised her scimitar and warned,
“Don’t follow me, or I can guarantee that you’ll lose more than your job!” Bi Qi retreated in embarrassment.
Lara, on the other hand, ran wildly, and soon her back disappeared into the darkness.
[Hint: Your ability ‘Nature’s Gift (2/2)’ is in effect.]
[You have gained new abilities, Cold Resistance and Counterspell.]
[Cold Resistance (Weakened): You can resist the cold very well, but because you don’t have fur, the effect is not as strong as the gnolls.]
[Counterspell: …l
After sending Xiuyi back to the gnoll camp.
The group turned back.
Halfway there.
A new [Gift] suddenly appeared in front of Matthew!
“What are these? Are they Anderson’s gifts? “But haven’t I gotten these already?”
At this moment.
Matthew suddenly noticed the (2/2) symbol. The last time the gift appeared, there seemed to be a (1/2) prompt.
This meant that the Gnoll Evil Art Master’s gift was given twice.
But why now?
Matthew was confused.
However, he got the answer after ten minutes.
“There’s someone coming!”
Li Weiqi, who was leading the charge, suddenly shouted to stop.
“I mean no harm.” In the darkness.
A round thing rolled over.
The figure of the Drow Warrior slowly appeared.
“I want to talk to you.”
“This is a little sincerity from me.”
