Lolo's heart sank when her mouth was covered. This was the standard action of assassins. In order to prevent the target from screaming and struggling before death from alerting others, the assassins who walked in the dark would first cover the target's mouth and nose with one hand, and the dagger in their other hand would take the opportunity to slit the target's throat.
The girl did not dare to be careless. She bent her right arm slightly and slammed it into the attacker's ribs. The guy was in pain, but he still clenched his teeth and did not let go. However, he did not have the time to deal the finishing blow.
Lolo was a little impressed by the guy's endurance. Should she say, as expected of an assassin? Even at this time, he did not want to give up. Unfortunately, since his first attack did not succeed, he would not have another chance.
The rookie The Brave would not give the opponent any chance to breathe. He followed up with an even fiercer elbow. This time, Lolo heard the sound of something breaking.
The swordswoman was a little dazed. She could not believe it. No way? Was it possible to break that guy's bones with just two moves? Wasn't it a little too easy? Was his strength that great?
Wait, no! The girl carefully recalled the feeling from her elbow just now and suddenly became furious. What she broke was not a bone, it was clearly a piece of wood. That guy was too cunning. He seemed to have guessed where she would attack and stuffed a piece of wood there in advance.
However, his good luck should end here. The wooden plank had already been broken, so it was time for his ribs to be broken.
The rookie The Brave rubbed his palms together. Just as he was about to let the guy know the consequences of ambushing him, his body suddenly trembled. The assassin behind him seemed to have realized that he was in a critical moment of life and death. He desperately stuck his body to her like an octopus, not giving her any space to swing her elbow.
Lolo gritted her teeth in anger. In a moment of desperation, the bastard pressed his other hand on her chest … Wait, why does this feel so familiar? The rookie The Brave could not help but recall the horrible nightmare last night. In the dream, some bastard seemed to bully her like this.
Oh, come to think of it, the hand that was covering her looked a little familiar.
A certain someone's palm was very unique. It was the type that was hard to forget after seeing it once.
Although she was unwilling, the girl had to admit that this guy's hands were really good looking.
The young man's fingers were long and slender. It was obvious that he did not do heavy work. However, unlike the sickly pale skin of the nobles, his skin color looked healthy. The muscles on his hands were well-proportioned and much more flexible than ordinary people. They were full of coordination and stability. When his knuckles moved, there seemed to be a strange rhythm.
The newbie The Brave had even hesitated before. Since the young scholar had no interest in learning swordsmanship, why not let him learn archery from the Elven Archer? With his hands, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
However, she gave up on the idea. Archers were a class that leaned towards damage output. They had poor defense and couldn't be compared to swordsmen. The newbie The Brave first considered the survival of the minions in the dungeon. He didn't need to worry about the damage output of the team.
In addition, no matter what the environment, this guy's nails were always trimmed neatly as if he was a neat freak. This left a deep impression.
"You're a … Wo Bu?" The girl hesitated for a moment. She did not land the third blow. Because her mouth was covered, she could not pronounce clearly.
"Me, me, me." The suspected assassin behind him wasn't feeling any better. Luo Luo's previous two elbows had caused Luo Bu to suck in a breath of cold air. His tongue was curled up, and he had deliberately lowered his voice, so his tone sounded strange.
"This is not the place to talk. Follow me."
This time, the newbie The Brave finally stopped resisting. She allowed the young man to drag her to hide behind a tree not far away. The Gale Cheetah at the top of the slope watched them quietly. Until the two of them left her sight, the guy did not move.
When they arrived at a safe place, the first thing the quasi-magus did was to take out the wooden plank hidden in his clothes. This toy had saved Luo Bu's life tonight, but it had also sacrificed itself gloriously. Luo Luo's elbow had split it into two pieces, and the sawdust had scattered all over his body, making him uncomfortable as he walked. Apart from that, the bruises under the wooden plank were also particularly glaring.
Luo Luo was a little embarrassed. She now knew that the quasi magus had covered her mouth to save her, but she mistook him for an assassin and even gave him two hard slaps. This made her feel a little guilty. However, this guilt didn't last long. She heard someone say, "Don't worry, I'll be fine.
"What are you doing here instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?"
At the mention of this newbie, the Braveheart was infuriated. If it wasn't for this bastard going missing in the middle of the night and insisting on coming out for a stroll, the Braveheart would not have come to this godforsaken place alone. He even almost became a snack for the Storm Cheetah. Speaking of which, it was all this guy's fault. If he wasn't worried about his safety, he wouldn't have been in danger.
Hmm, if that's the case, then I wasn't really saved by him again. At most, the little scholar had made up for some of my mistakes. Seeing that he had done a good job, I'll just put that broken leg on my tab first.
"I should be the one asking you this question. Why are you wandering around so late at night? Don't you know how dangerous it is outside?"
Lolo's tone was unkind, as if she was going to denounce him. But someone's answer almost made her vomit blood.
"I didn't encounter any danger before you appeared."
The little attendant's casual and unrepentant attitude made the newbie The Brave very unhappy, but he could not refute it. After all, this guy was indeed alive and well before she appeared. And according to what the elven archer said, the young man seemed to know what would happen tonight.
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened to someone. To be honest, Luo Luo was already numb to it. If someone could explain the abnormality of the magical beasts on the top of the slope, Luo Luo knew that she would definitely vote for the young scholar. After interacting with him for the past few days, Luo Luo felt that this guy was a walking encyclopedia.
"We don't have much time left. Hurry up and ask whatever you want to ask," Luo Bu said after looking up at the moon.
