Chapter 40: Dangerous Fight
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bai Xiaowen quickly cast Insight on Leila Red Leaf.
The female Elf Sword Dancer was severely injured by Kevin’s Dragon Breath and was in a bad state. All her attributes had been halved. It was precisely because of this that Bai Xiaowen could predict danger in advance and avoid her attack.
If she had been in her peak condition, Bai Xiaowen would not have been able to react in time and would have been captured.
However, even though all her attributes had been halved, Leila Red Leaf’s attributes were still completely superior to Bai Xiaowen’s. This was also the reason why she was so confident in coming alone. She had never taken Bai Xiaowen’s strength seriously.
Bai Xiaowen looked down from above and removed the White Birch Bow to shoot an arrow. However, the accuracy and strength of this arrow were bad. Leila Red Leaf revealed a mocking sneer and walked forward without changing the frequency of her footsteps. She turned her body slightly and dodged.
Bai Xiaowen broke into a run. His Agility was as high as 6 points, so he was extremely fast. The moment he turned around, he disappeared at the corner of another corridor.
Leila Red Leaf sneered. Although all her attributes had been halved, her Agility was still more than 10 points. She could easily catch up to Bai Xiaowen. However, for the sake of caution, Leila Red Leaf did not give chase at full speed as she wanted to guard against Bai Xiaowen’s sneak attack.
After chasing for a few hundred meters along the tunnel, Leila Red Leaf did not see Bai Xiaowen. Instead, she saw a steel two-handed war hammer thrown to the ground. After taking a few more steps, she saw a quiver bag and a messy pile of arrows.
“That weak human has thrown away all his weapons in order to escape?”
This thought flashed through Leila Red Leaf’s mind. She increased her speed slightly, but she was still on guard.
After turning a corner, Leila Red Leaf saw a White Birch Bow thrown on the ground. The bowstring was broken. She no longer had any scruples and chased after Bai Xiaowen at full speed.
Following his footprints, Leila Red Leaf arrived at a main burial chamber. Inside was a row of rusted iron bookshelves. The books placed on them had already been destroyed. Leila Red Leaf was relieved that there was only one entrance to the main burial chamber. In other words, Bai Xiaowen had courted death by running into a dead end.
Leila Red Leaf searched carefully and saw a corner of a gray cloak behind the iron shelf.
“Hmph, you will reveal such an obvious flaw? Obviously not!” Leila Red Leaf’s heart was filled with disdain. She had seen this kind of diversion many times. She did not look at the gray cloak at all. Instead, she lit a torch and carefully searched the other parts of the tomb.
There was a large iron urn in the corner. The lid of the urn seemed to have been lifted, revealing a crack. Through the crack, one could vaguely see a trace of linen.
Leila Red Leaf was certain that the weak human was hiding in the big urn. In order not to suffocate to death, he even secretly pushed open the lid of the big urn to reveal a crack. She sneered and quietly stepped forward. She suddenly slapped the lid of the urn with both hands and covered the crack tightly.
She wanted to suffocate this human to death in a large urn.
However, the moment she covered the big urn, a gust of wind suddenly swept past Leila Red Leaf’s back. Before she could scream, she felt a pain in her back and was stabbed by a dagger.
What exactly happened?
Earlier, Leila Red Leaf reached out to cover the big urn. Above her head, Bai Xiaowen—who had removed all his clothes—jumped down lightly. In midair, he stabbed the back of Leila Red Leaf with a dagger.
However, Bai Xiaowen did not calculate the speed of his fall in advance, resulting in the dagger stabbing at the back of her heart. However, the error was not a big deal. He had still stabbed her at a vital spot. Furthermore, this strike borrowed the impact of his fall to deal her with a critical hit!
After Bai Xiaowen was hit, he abandoned his dagger and quickly retreated. Leila Red Leaf, who was experienced in combat, was suddenly ambushed. Her first reaction was to stab backward with her short sword and counterattack!
A gash appeared on Bai Xiaowen’s chest.
Prompt information:
“Your attack hit Elf Sword Dancer Leila Red Leaf’s vital point, causing 14 points of damage (critical hit) and inflicting a heavy bleeding effect.”
“Corrosive poison has taken effect. All attributes of Leila Red Leaf have decreased by 2 points for 120 seconds.”
“Leila Red Leaf’s injuries have worsened. She has fallen into a seriously injured state for 120 seconds: Unable to move.”
“You have received 12 points of laceration damage, with an additional light bleeding effect.”
“F*ck!”
Bai Xiaowen was startled. Feeling terribly frightened, he ran over to the iron bookshelf, pulled the Dirty Cloak that he had taken off earlier, and wrapped it around his chest twice.
After all, Bai Xiaowen had twice the physique of an ordinary person. The light bleeding effect finally stopped after Bai Xiaowen was bandaged. The “-1” that floated above his head disappeared after a while. He only had 2 health points left.
Bai Xiaowen felt that he was about to run out of energy. He sat on the ground and stared into Leila Red Leaf’s eyes through the iron bookshelf.
Bai Xiaowen’s cursing earlier had three meanings.
Firstly, he did not expect Leila Red Leaf’s defense to be so high. Under normal circumstances, a critical hit and a vital attack would deduct at least 20 HP, but Leila Red Leaf only lost 14 points.
Secondly, Leila Red Leaf could actually counterattack immediately when she was seriously injured.
Thirdly, Leila Red Leaf had such terrifying attack power. All her attributes had been halved, but when she stabbed him, probably only the tip of the sword had entered Bai Xiaowen’s body. However, it still severely injured Bai Xiaowen, who had already retreated. If he had been a little slower in bandaging, he might have really died.
Although Leila Red Leaf could not move, she was still conscious. She gritted her teeth and took out a piece of bandage. She pulled out the dagger from her back with difficulty. As blood spurted out, she tried her best to press the bandage on the wound on the back of her heart and slowly bandage it.
“No way! She can do this?” Bai Xiaowen’s eyes widened. He had thought that Leila Red Leaf would die from excessive blood loss.
Bai Xiaowen really wanted to go over and interfere or attack Leila Red Leaf again. However, looking at his weak body that only had 2 HP left, he wisely chose to give up. Although Leila Red Leaf only had less than 1/5 HP left, she still had more than 30 HP!
Before Bai Xiaowen could even kill Leila Red Leaf, he would be finished with one hit. And Leila Red Leaf’s Agility… after being weakened twice, it was still as high as 8 points!
“Leila Red Leaf lost 5 health points.”
“Leila Red Leaf lost 3 health points.”
“Leila Red Leaf lost 1 health points.”
Bai Xiaowen was speechless as he watched Leila Red Leaf successfully bandage her wound. The severe bleeding had turned into light bleeding, and the light bleeding had turned into no bleeding. This way, it was impossible for her to die from excessive loss of blood.
“Despicable human… When I recover my mobility, I’ll definitely cut you into pieces!” Leila Red Leaf gasped and cursed. Bai Xiaowen noticed that other than her chest being a little small, the female Elf’s figure was still very good. Her long legs were quite eye-catching under the cover of the tattered nun’s uniform.
Bai Xiaowen could not help but whistle. Of course, he was not foolish. On the contrary, he was confident.
“Five, four, three, two, one…” Bai Xiaowen counted down.
600 seconds of soul resonance time was up!
