Ryan's Sword

Chapter 101, Scene [-]
The moment the hammer god Borodin fell, Gust, who had always upheld the principle of keeping a low profile, let the thief Black Fox keep a close eye on a black-haired young man who was talking and laughing with his companions in a small group outside the battlefield.

"Boss, are we going to fight directly like this?"

For Gust's instructions, the black fox did not mean to resist.However, the cognition and understanding of Ian during the working together still left a seed of fear in the heart of this excellent white-rank thief, and finally drove him to try to dissuade his boss again in this matter.

Even if you want to do it, at least you have to do it with absolute certainty, right?

Thinking of the behavior of that big boy who usually looks harmless to humans and animals, and even a bit funny after he stepped onto the battlefield, the pupils of the black fox couldn't help shrinking slightly.

What a state that is!
When he was with Ian, the black fox never forgot to collect intelligence.However, when he changed the target of Ian's battle from the dwarf heroic spirit to any member of his team, he found that facing the opponent's seemingly honed swordsmanship and incomparably sophisticated killing methods, his side didn't seem to be the same. Not much odds.

However, Captain Gust, who constantly pushed his strength to a higher level in the process of hunting adventurers, did not believe his judgment.

"Heihu, you have changed too much during this time." Gust stared coldly at the thief's eyes, and there was a trace of strong impatience in his tone, "Is it possible that being too comfortable made you become Have you become weak? Don’t forget, even adventurers in the middle stage of the iron rank have been besieged and killed! Why, now a white-rank kid who relies on magic equipment to pile up false strength can make you cringe Yet?"

"But, our team itself, didn't we rely on powerful equipment to build up our strength to the current level?"

Facing the black-haired young man's cold and questioning eyes, the black fox silently lowered his head, and could only whisper in his heart.

Like Ian, the Gust team, which has gained considerable wealth by intercepting adventurers, seems to be armed from top to bottom. Not only that, each of them has more than one powerful combat skill to suppress the bottom of the box, so their hunters The killing operation can be smoother, and even the warriors in the middle stage of the iron rank are not in the eyes.

However, leaving aside the use of magic equipment to arm themselves, there is still a huge difference between Ian and the Gust team.

If it is said that Ian, who used to be a player, knows how to use equipment to find more powerful strength, then the Gust team has fallen into an over-reliance on powerful equipment and cannot extricate themselves!

These four people were all outstanding potential among their peers when they became professionals. Whether it was the shield warrior Lone Wolf or the two-swordsman Renekton, including the thief Black Fox and the warrior Gust in the conversation at this time, they had a great deal of respect for each other. The understanding of their respective occupations is not weaker than anyone else.

However, while their identity as hunters made their equipment more and more luxurious, it eventually became a heavy shackle that shackles their further progress on the career path.

When reaching the important node of the peak of the white rank, the four members of the Gust team, without exception, failed to comprehend the fighting spirit. Until now, they are all stuck in this embarrassing stage.

However, at this time, it will not be so easy for them to abandon the magic equipment that gives them great strength!

For them, there is almost no difficulty in obtaining those blood-stained wealth. With their more and more tacit ambush and siege, almost no solo adventurer escaped from such a lore!but--

Coming out and mixing, sooner or later I have to pay it back.

Although the thief Black Fox had never heard this famous saying, he was still able to see clearly that the young man named Ian Grant was by no means as easy to deal with as the prey they locked before.

The careful black fox also found out that the surname Grant seemed to point to a remarkable ancient noble family in the Far East Province, which made him even more uneasy who was already on guard against Ian.

An adventurer of noble origin, with a desperate swordsmanship.

Treating such a person as prey, I have to say that Gust, who has always been wise and shrewd, definitely played a bad game.

However, the Thief Black Fox didn't try to blame his captain.For him, when the other party dug himself out of the pile of dead bodies in the slums, his rotten life was completely under the control of the other party.This is also one of the important reasons why Lone Wolf and Renekton, the two rebellious guys, are willing to sell captain Gust's face.

On the one hand, it was because the black-haired young soldier planned every interception without any mistakes, and on the other hand, it was because this thin and taciturn thief had always stood loyally by his side.

Lone Wolf and Renekton have seen the black fox quietly remove the head of its prey more than once. They don't want to be on guard against a deadly shadow lurking behind them all the time after offending Gust!

"I know what to do, Captain."

Feeling Gust's growing impatience, the black fox said so, and then fell silent.

The lone wolf on the other side watched heartlessly as the pair of "master and servant" fell into a stalemate. For him, it was enough to focus on killing people and distributing money. Let Gust, the think tank and leader, have a headache!
What's more, in his eyes, it's the first time that the guy in his eyes who has always followed Gust's order to obey the thief has insisted on his opinion so much. He hopes that the two of them will disagree and conflict, so that he can see if their captain really respects the thief. The black fox has absolute control——

Lone Wolf and Renekton, these two bad-tempered guys, have bet on the relationship between the other two members of the team more than once during the rare peacetime. In their eyes, the reason why the thief Black Fox is so obedient must have some ulterior motives. !
"You have to know, Black Fox, the strongest iron warrior next to that guy has no combat effectiveness." Perhaps seeing the anomaly of his most capable subordinate, Gust couldn't help explaining: "And he took the initiative to stay This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to explore unexplored areas of the Temple."

"Look, he has entered a fork!"

While speaking, Gust and his party had followed the scattered adventurers and left the area where the Hammer Palace was located. Among the crowd, Ian's figure had already entered a narrow branch passage.

"Black Fox, follow him!"

Before Gust finished speaking, the black fox nodded slightly, disappeared from the eyes of the two teammates, and chased after Ian who disappeared in the branch passage ahead.

In the passage, Ian walked forward with a torch in one hand and a brand new long sword in the other.

There are already three small room entrances in this branch, but Ian has no interest in exploring it, and just simply goes deeper.

Up to this point, he had already determined that there were two light green dots following him on the edge of the small map in his field of vision. These two non-hostile and fluctuating units were the source of the footsteps in the distance.

However, what Ian cared about the most was not the two stalkers who hung him far away. He intuitively sensed that since not long ago, there was a dangerous atmosphere around him——

Ian didn't forget that the thief black fox who used to forcibly hide himself in plain sight, only when that guy sneaked close to him could he feel such a strong sense of threat!
"Interesting, it's not a siege, but are you going to fight me one-on-one?"

The sense of crisis lingering in his heart lingered for a long time, and Ian immediately understood what the thief who brought him a sense of crisis wanted to do.

In his impression, the young thief in the gray leather armor seemed to have a little instinctive fear of him, so this time, what drove him to follow up with the intention of sneak attack?

Of course, Ian didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he did know that the enemy hidden in the dark couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to make a move after he had been sneaking slowly and undefended for a long time!
"coming!"

A sense of urgency and crisis that is unique to being locked by combat skills suddenly came to mind. Ian, who was walking in the passage, did not stop, and he didn't even scatter. However, the sense of locking that came from the secret seemed to hesitate. , and did not launch an attack on this undistinguished young man.

"Didn't sense my existence? You're lying to a ghost!"

After entering the stealth state, the black fox almost merged with the surrounding darkness.At the moment when he made up his mind, he planned to use the thieves' professional combat skill Sap to stun this seemingly unsuspecting young man directly with the blessing of breaking the invisible, but the opponent's performance shook his already condensed killing intent up!

Normally, there are only a few ways for soldiers to deal with sneak attacks by thieves.Or rely on intuition to sense its position, or release a wide range of attack skills to force out the hidden thief's figure, and at a higher level, even forcibly counterattack the latter's stealth attack with an instant nerve reaction——

In a frontal battle, the thief's strength attribute is already at a disadvantage compared to fighters of the same level. If the key blows that get the stealth bonus are forcibly deciphered, then the battle will not be far from collapse!
However, in the eyes of the black fox, the powerful Ian did not do any of the above-mentioned actions, and even reminded him of the scene in the back alley of the tavern, when those nightingale prostitutes seduce customers, and wished to add a voiceover——

"Master, come and play!"

This weird way of coping made the black fox, who was about to pounce, stop immediately.He couldn't believe that with the fighting power Ian had shown before, he would not be able to sense his existence!

Then there is only one explanation, this guy did it on purpose!
