Chapter 107 Catherine Exposed
Chapter 107 Catherine Exposed
Sensing the danger to his life, the Cyclops went crazy and slapped the Bamboo Man on his head down like a mosquito.
The Bamboo Man, who didn't have time to draw his sword, was knocked down. As a swordsman, it was obviously impossible for him to be seriously injured by the Cyclops, who had only the strength of a swordsman. He landed and rolled backwards a small circle. After relieving the impact, the Bamboo Man stood up with a smile on his face.
With a few taps, the bamboo man returned to the group.
"My sword pierced directly into his crystal core. If he struggles any longer, he will probably die."
A huge eyeball under the broken rock followed the figure of the bamboo man. The Cyclops discovered the people standing beside the broken rock. He picked up a stone beside him and threw it towards the broken rock where everyone was.
Although the stone seemed small in the giant's hand, it was like a small boulder to Liu Chi and others.
Seeing everyone dodge nimbly, the Cyclops picked up a handful of pebbles from the ground, threw them at everyone with force, and continued to attack everyone with the pebbles.
Looking at the fist-sized stones all over the sky, Liu Chi knew that he would not be able to escape this time.
The stones were hitting everyone around them like a rainstorm. Standing in front of Liu Chi and the others was Catherine. A golden barrier was blocking the four of them. Because of the stones, the surrounding soil was covered with a lot of dust.
On Lance's side, a fire shield blocked the stone attack.
"What a pity." Lance smiled reluctantly.
"Women are everywhere, but space rings are different." The bamboo man said, "But you are really cruel. You killed this man just like that."
"No, that man was killed by the Cyclops. You all saw it. It has nothing to do with me!" Lance raised his mouth and showed a very crazy smile. The space ring! This is what he has always dreamed of.
However, the words of the panda-eyed boy poured cold water on the two of them.
"There is magic gathering nearby. I think that magician is defending himself."
"Ah?" Lance obviously didn't dare to believe what the boy said. It seemed that Liu Chi had concealed the strength of the magicians in the team from him. As a junior magician, it was obviously impossible to cast a group defense magic in such a short time.
"I have some explosive news for you. I sensed that this is lightning magic!"
Everyone's faces suddenly changed. They knew exactly what the lightning magic element meant. They had unexpectedly encountered someone from the royal family.
At this moment, two different thoughts emerged in Lance's mind, and at the same time, his smile became more and more intense.
"Do you think the royal family has a lot of treasures? And this is in the middle of nowhere. Do you think anyone will find them if there are no people here?"
The three of them naturally understood what Lance meant. Normally, they had done a lot of looting from other adventurers, but they had never encountered a royal family.
"I think we can give it a try." The bamboo man leaned closer to Lance.
"I won't do that. I can't imagine the consequences of going against the royal family. Even if no one knows about it now, it will be discovered in the future. I advise you not to do this."
After hearing the words of the panda-eyed boy, Lance and the bamboo man's enthusiasm slowed down. Once exposed, the consequences of hunting down the royal family were indeed something they could not afford. After weighing the pros and cons, they gave up this ridiculous idea.
As the Cyclops stopped attacking and the thick dust fell, the two small teams finally met again. Lance's team's attitude towards Liu Chi and others had obviously changed.
"Okay, it looks like he's going to fail. I'll go and finish it off," said the bamboo man.
The Cyclops under the broken rock was half lying on the ground, gasping for breath. He looked at the slender bamboo man approaching him with a smile, but he did not move. What could he do now?
Purple-green blood continuously oozed out from the top of his head, and the Cyclops let out a roar in the last moment before his death. This desperate wail kept spreading among the broken rocks. After hearing it, the creatures hundreds of meters nearby scattered in all directions, as if death would befall them in the next second.
This howl exhausted all the remaining strength of the Cyclops. The muscles of his entire body contracted and he remained in a semi-recumbent position.
The bamboo man put away his sword, holding the warm red crystal core in his hand, and jumped directly down from a height of five meters.
The bamboo man handed the crystal core to Lance. Lance took the crystal core and slowly walked to Catherine. He put his right hand on his chest and performed a simple etiquette.
"I didn't know you were a royal family before. I'll just treat this crystal core as a small gift. I hope you don't mind."
Liu Chi and the others also understood that it must be the magic just now that exposed Catherine's identity. Fortunately, they did not have the courage to attack the royal family. Instead, their attitude became so respectful.
Seeing that her identity was exposed, Catherine took off the hood directly. Liu Chi took the hood and put it into the space ring.
"There's no need for the crystal core." Catherine laughed. She quite enjoyed the pleasure that this identity brought her.
"Have you been doing this kind of thing?" Catherine asked, referring to Lance's looting of other adventurers.
Lance broke out in a cold sweat. His team had indeed done many shameful things for the sake of profit. However, when he saw that Catherine had golden curly hair, he began to waver in his heart.
Feeling Lance's sudden change, Catherine was slightly startled. Could it be that he was going to attack her and others?
Lance put the crystal core away, looked at Catherine and asked, "You just came to Liro recently, right?"
Lance tested Catherine. Golden curly hair was obviously not a characteristic of the royal family of the Sunset Empire. Moreover, there were already secret struggles among the Western empires. In this case, it seemed that the cost of investment had been far surpassed by the returns.
Catherine was about to speak when she was stopped by Liu Chi. Liu Chi also felt that Lance was testing him and others, and was ready to attack them at any time.
During the day, if Liu Chi summoned Milia, the latter would be killed by ultraviolet rays. The only combat power Liu Chi can mobilize now are the three people around him and his own soul.
Considering that he and his men were completely unable to confront Lance's team head-on, Liu Chi directly started using his verbal persuasion skills.
"As a member of the royal family of another empire, our princess has come to the Sunset Empire in secret this time with an important mission. This mission involves the state affairs of the Western countries and is very important."
"Who are you?" Lance looked at Liu Chi and questioned his identity. It was strange for a black-haired Asian man to be with a princess of a Western royal family.
"He's just the princess's counselor. On the surface, he's the captain of this team." Liu Chi said with a smile, looking very natural, as if it were true.
Lance looked at Liu Chi's expression and confirmed that he was not lying. Lance was still confident in his years of observing people's words and expressions. If it were not for this, he would not have made the team stronger.
