Chapter 32 Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump
Chapter 32 Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump
Loki learned about Daisy's style from her battles.
Those with brains act recklessly.
Theoretically speaking, she is not a good teammate.
It's difficult for the average person to keep up with her fighting strategy. When they see her charging in, they either retreat because of "reason," causing the two sides to become disconnected; or they charge in unconditionally, but because they didn't seize the opportunity, they don't have time to retreat.
But Luo Qi liked it very much.
This combat style is simple and efficient, and it is also very challenging. The direct combat in life-or-death crises will make adventurers stronger at the fastest speed and reach their limits.
With the assistance of the Human Emperor Banner, Luo Qi will become stronger at an extremely rapid pace.
If the teammates we find now have less potential, they will probably become a burden before long, and we will eventually have to replace them.
Doross has good talent and a special purpose, so she should be able to help Luo Qi for a while in the future, which is why Luo Qi accepted her as a teammate.
The ruthlessness Daisy is showing now makes Luo Qi feel that she can fight alongside her for a longer period of time in the future.
It's quite necessary to make this girl a teammate.
Luo Qi walked lightly, like a willow catkin in the wind, to the entrance of the bear cave.
"No, you're going to block a dark demon bear returning to its cave head-on?"
The little girl quickly grabbed the greatsword and rushed forward.
She was truly afraid that Misfield's lover would die in battle because of her rivalry.
In her field of vision,
Luo Qi pulled out a strangely shaped spear from somewhere, held it with both hands, and aimed the spear tip at the demonic bear charging towards the cave entrance.
"Get out of the way!"
Daisy couldn't help but shout, "The core of the demonic bear's attack isn't its paws, it's its ramming!"
Even when on all fours, the Dark Demon Bear is over three meters tall and weighs more than ten tons. Its speed is about 60 to 70 kilometers per hour. If it crashes into you like that, its destructive power is no less than that of a highway truck.
While a first-tier adventurer is strong, they are no match for a monster of this size.
Daisy dared to fight the demonic bear head-on because her protection was perfect. Although the full plate armor she wore was not magical armor, it was quite effective at absorbing force.
Of course, it would be a big mistake to think that having a set of sturdy plate armor would be enough to survive an attack from this giant bear.
The power of the demonic bear's charge is far greater than that of human armor-piercing heavy weapons.
Most importantly, Daisy's longsword acted like a special shield, allowing her to use the force of the bear's claws to retreat each time they clashed.
Being sent flying more than ten meters was indeed quite embarrassing, but it was precisely because she flew more than ten meters that she absorbed all the force from the bear's paw, thus avoiding serious injury.
At this moment, the man stood steadily at the entrance of the cave.
"Oops!"
Daisy exclaimed in alarm, realizing it was too late to save her.
While the Dark Bear is not as agile as a superhuman in a small area, its straight-line running speed is just as fast. Most superhumans who are not agile have a hard time catching up with it. As a paladin of the Silvermoon Church, Daisy's speed is naturally not a weakness.
However, she was wearing heavy armor and carrying a load of over 100 kilograms, which slowed her down considerably.
All I saw was...
The dark bear did not slow down at all.
A cruel smile even appeared on its bear face, as if it could already see the future of crushing the humans in front of it into meat patties. While humans were busy reaping the harvest, the bears also had to prepare for hibernation.
Just as it was about to collide with the spear, the giant bear raised its paw and deflected the spear shaft—the spear could indeed harm it, but only if the tip was pointed directly at it.
As long as the tip of the gun and its path are at even the slightest angle, the threat will vanish completely.
After successfully turning the lever, the giant bear immediately pounced along the crooked gun barrel.
Weighing over ten tons and traveling at sixty or seventy kilometers per hour, all the kinetic energy will be released onto the humans in front of it.
Boom~
A cloud of smoke rose from the bear den.
Luo Qi emerged from the smoke and dust—the giant bear had already crashed into the horizontal branch of the Emperor's Banner, a half-meter-long blade piercing through its eye, and the blood-red imperial dragon energy swept over its brain, instantly robbing the beast of all its life force.
"You won?"
The little girl Daisy opened her mouth wide, looking completely incredulous.
She discerned from Luo Qi's physical attributes, such as his posture and movements, that he was roughly equivalent to a newly-minted knight. Of course, physical attributes do not equate to combat strength. Most mages have poor physical attributes, but their combat strength is by no means weak. Daisy would not underestimate the combat strength of others when she was unsure of their supernatural profession.
But she never expected it.
This person, whose strength was inferior to hers, was able to kill a dark demon bear that even she was no match for in close combat.
"How...how did you do that?!"
The little girl asked curiously.
Her brown eyes darted between Luo Qi and his weapon: "This weapon is a bit strange, but the Dark Bear certainly wouldn't ignore this side branch. Did it just suddenly appear? No, this method of fixation makes it difficult to achieve that effect; if I'm not mistaken, this weapon is a magical weapon? Its effect can interfere with the Dark Bear's perception of it?"
"Even so, it still has a chance to react the moment it is injured. It is not difficult for it to sacrifice one forefoot to save its life the moment it feels the injury."
"This weapon, or rather some of your abilities, can interfere with the giant bear's behavior. Is it an illusion? Or some kind of control technique?"
"However, although the Dark Demon Bear excels only in physical combat, its magical defense is very strong. Ordinary magic has difficulty disturbing its mind! How strange... Could it be that Misfield has befriended a powerful figure?"
Luo Qi looked at the girl who was talking non-stop about her guesses, and she had actually guessed his methods.
The technique for killing the demon bear is not complicated.
The subjects within the Emperor's Banner coalesced into an invisible hand, which slapped Luo Qi across the face when the giant bear was still several meters away, leaving it momentarily stunned.
That one moment determined life and death.
"So, would you like to join my adventurer party now?"
Luo Qi interrupted the girl's endless speculation.
"Well..."
The little girl scratched her head: "Let me make this clear first, I'm going to become a lord knight, so I'll inevitably have to take on some missions that aren't very worthwhile."
The path to becoming an extraordinary knight requires the support of territory and subjects after reaching the third rank.
Daisy's original goal was to become Misfield's partner, but now that she has realized that her childhood friend has found someone else she can rely on, she has temporarily given up that goal. However, this does not stop her from striving for a better future for herself.
Luo Qi chuckled: "Coincidentally, so am I."
