Chapter Seventeen: Ambush and Slaughter

  The melon suddenly tilted its head, and the long dagger left a wound on his face. The melon's dog head with small horns also fiercely bumped into the enemy, directly knocking him off his horse. The long knife pulled up, directly slashing open the cavalryman's belly, and the colorful intestines fell to the ground under gravity. The cavalryman wailed in agony, lying on the ground trying to stuff his intestines back into his stomach, but ultimately his movements became slower and slower, his face turned whiter and whiter, and he gasped a few more times before finally kicking his legs. The melon didn't dare to stay, and as soon as it had slashed open the enemy's belly, it had already run forward in a zigzag pattern for several steps, disappearing into the fog. Behind him, a quivering arrow was left, while the other wounded man who had dropped the meteor hammer and picked up the crossbow shouted angrily.

  Then, from the thick fog, a long knife flew out and stabbed into the mouth of the knight who had lost his mind and was yelling, passing through the back of his brain, bringing up a splash of white and red blood, and then softened, falling from the horse to the ground, making a dull thud.

  Kua as a toad monster has traversed, mid-to-long-range strikes are simply innate attributes, both accurate and ruthless. Within 15 steps, there is no room for error.

  After a short wait, the bleeding had almost stopped, and Gua finally walked out of the thick fog, pulling out the long knife. The knife flashed, and another good head fell to the ground, with white and red mist flying out.

  He touched the long wound on his face, if it weren't for the scales on his body, this stab would have pierced from his cheek into his brain, and his life would have ended here. Fortunately, there were scales, which made the long dagger scrape across his face, deviating slightly in direction, but still bringing out a strip of flesh and blood. In the cold ice fog, there was a strange feeling of coldness and pain.

  In the quiet time that followed, Guagua calmed his tense mood. In this process, he felt the two short whiskers on his philtrum continuously absorbing the water-based magic from the surrounding cold mist. The water-based magic not only enhanced personal physical abilities, especially vitality and endurance, but also had a weak healing effect on wounds, although it was not as effective as professional treatment, it was still faster than natural recovery.

  The gourd slowly closed its eyes, took a few deep breaths, and grew whiskers. With the whiskers, it could absorb the spiritual energy of water more sharply. Each additional whisker increased the absorption speed by a factor of two. A non-pure-blooded dragon clan's hybrid bloodline could grow up to six whiskers at most. Moreover, each time the whiskers grew out, they appeared in even numbers. In other words, once they emerged, it was always a pair of whiskers. After advancing further, another pair of whiskers would grow out until all six were fully grown.

  At this moment, the icy fog-shrouded environment was a perfect place for ice-elemental magic to thrive. As a variant of water-elemental magic, ice-elemental magic could also be absorbed. Guagua didn't have much mood at this time, after waiting for his breathing to calm down, he slowly pulled out his long knife, picked up the military crossbow and arrows again, and moved towards that small group of cavalrymen who were still resisting in a corner.

  In an instant, another Ice Claw died, and the cavalry was left with only three people. There was also a young man who was not very brave in battle and was protected. The remaining Ice Claw was also covered in scars, looking like it would soon fall to the ground, turning into a puddle of ice shards. A ferocious head rolled on the ground for two rounds before stopping completely.

  Kuagu no longer hesitated, picked up the crossbow on the ground, pulled up the string, aimed at the cavalry hiding in the back, whoosh! The sharp arrow pierced through the air, followed by the sound of the arrow being blocked by the metal chain armor. Damn it! It was actually chain armor! Chain armor had increased its defense against arrows by more than a little bit, and this shot that could have taken his life now only managed to inflict some minor injuries on him.

  The young man let out a terrified scream, and the two cavalrymen in front were immediately flustered. The ice claw took advantage of the opening and instantly killed one of them, but was also counterattacked to death and shattered into fragments.

  The momentum of the icy claws knocked the last cavalryman off his horse, and before he could react, the young man was already frantically patting the horse and running away in the distance.

  The cavalryman wanted to get back on his horse and chase after him, but with a whizzing sound, the cavalryman didn't even have time to dodge before an arrow pierced deep into the muscle of his shoulder. He immediately rolled over to the other side of the horse, vigilantly looking in the direction where the arrow came from.

  He shot a few more, at most he would kill that horse, the cavalry obviously had extremely strong combat sensitivity, and did not suffer any damage from the arrows again. Guagua was helpless, after throwing away his crossbow, he picked up his double knives and sneaked past in another direction.

  Suddenly, he charged from the side and rear of the cavalry, with his double knives transforming into a single, unstoppable force that rushed towards the cavalry. The cavalry was indeed formidable, twisting their body in an unbelievable direction to dodge this attack. However, at the same time, Gua's other long knife also came slashing down, sending the knight's sword flying to one side as he hastily tried to block it. In an instant, a gap opened up, and Gua flew up with one foot, viciously kicking the cavalry's belly deep into their body.

  With paws on his feet, it wasn't easy to bear. The dog-headed man didn't wear shoes, and his feet were also sharp claws. With one kick, a handful of hot blood splattered out, and a huge wound appeared on the cavalryman's belly. The cavalryman's long sword also swung in sync, slashing a long bloody mouth on Guagua's body, and Guagua's blood also sprayed out quite a bit.

  As he parried this sword, Gua felt a tremor in his nerves. The sense of danger made him feel that death was less than an inch from his nose, and a hot fireball in his chest seemed to burst out of its shell in this most urgent situation, increasing his speed by a fraction, allowing him to avoid the fatal blow, but only suffering serious injury.

  However, after breaking through this seal, the magic core that had not been fully absorbed in the stomach suddenly emitted magical power again, neutralizing all the Dou Qi that was about to be generated and turning it into a kind of mysterious energy that nourished the body, somewhere between magic and Dou Qi.

  "Don't kill the young master of my house, you can ask for a ransom, a lot of ransom." The cavalry was seriously injured and saw a red light flashing on the enemy's body, which was a manifestation of the explosion of Dou Qi. Although he himself was close to the edge of producing Dou Qi, he hadn't yet.

  Now that both are wounded, whoever grasps the fighting spirit first will have an overwhelming effect, and balance is immediately broken.

  Seeing the red aura flashing on his enemy's body, he also knew that he couldn't defeat his opponent. If this continued, there was only one dead end, so he had to beg for mercy. But unexpectedly, he was begging for mercy for the young master of his own family.
