Chapter 1208: Pretending to be stupid is tiring
Elduo's fingertips kept touching the keys around Bubtney's neck. Of course, she could try to grab onto his head, but she didn't dare go for it. She wasn't sure if she could kill this dog in one hit, and if she couldn't do it, then her last chance would be wasted.
And while this show wasn't bad enough, it wasn't exciting enough.
With a clang, the metal doors swung open, and Amu stepped inside, keeping his head down to avoid bumping into the door frame..
— Moo-oo-oo! Amu growled angrily at Bubtney, and Bubtney seemed startled by him and immediately backed out of the room.
The guard has arrived.
In the end, Amu sat up and leaned against the wall, while Bubtni lay down not far from Elduo, looking like he was going to take a nap.
Ten minutes later, the snoring started. Amu fell asleep.
— Doggie, come to me... " said Elduo softly. With a guard nearby, she felt a lot more danger now.
Bubtney, lying on the floor, opened his eyes and looked at Elduo with a look that seemed to say: "Say something nice to me and I will definitely come over».
An undead girl, a dog, and a Tauren created a very "happy" atmosphere in this gloomy basement. Of course, the only one who was happy right now was Bubtni, for Amu was very hungry, and Elduo felt drained.
----
Five hours later, at 9 p.m., the basement is brightly lit.
Bubtney, squatting in front of Elduo, took a deep breath.
— You! Leave me alone! Go away! Elduo said through gritted teeth and lowered her head.
She finally realized that Bubtney wasn't a stupid dog.
Bubtney tilted his head and looked at Elduo with a look that almost said, " You've finally figured it out, pretending to be stupid is so tiring. How do you like my acting skills? If you are satisfied, don't forget to leave a good review about me».
Since Elduo understood, Bubtny no longer pretended to be stupid and smiled brightly at her.
Seeing that smile, Elduo's expression became slightly dejected. "You, you...
She had long since begun to guess that Bubtny was smarter than ordinary dogs, but after seeing Bubtny's intelligent eyes, she became sure that Bubtny was no more stupid than an ordinary person.
— Woof — " Bubtny suddenly barked, and Amu immediately got up and walked over to Bubtny, looking like a huge, docile dog. There was no trace of his previous ferocity left.
— I — " Elduo didn't even know what she was supposed to say at that moment, as she saw Bubtney take out various snacks from his small inventory and hand one of them towards Elduo.
Elduo raised her head, which meant that she would never eat what her enemies wanted to give her. After all, she was a proud and warlike undead.
Seeing this, Bubtney decided to follow Su Xiao's example and waved his paw. Amu, who was standing at his side, immediately understood and grabbed Elduo's face with his big rough hands.
Elduo's teeth clicked together and after a moment's hesitation she snatched the snack from Bubtny's paw.
Compared to being force-fed, she would obviously rather eat the food herself.
And then, ten seconds later...
— How sharp!.. a faint cry suddenly rang out from the basement.
This was one of Su Xiao's ways of destroying Elduo's defenses.
Now she will not be allowed to sleep and will only be given extremely spicy food.
Compared to normal torture, Su Xiao's approach seemed more lenient, but it wasn't. Lack of sleep will eventually cause Elduo to fall into a trance more often over time, during which time Bubtni will attack her endlessly.
Bubtney was very good at negotiating, but his negotiating style was very special. He used his charisma and lowered his opponent's" IQ " to his level so that they could make a fair deal.
Ignoring the scene in the basement, Su Xiao sat by the fountain in the courtyard of the Iron Hand residence.
The courtyard was guarded by dozens of ordinary guards of the capital, and there were four royal guards standing in front of the residence's gate. The security measures weren't too good, but they weren't too weak either.
After Su Xiao grabbed Elduo, he left some not-so-obvious footprints along the way. It was difficult to follow these tracks to find him and with a high degree of probability it was possible to find the wrong person at all.
But the more complex the tracks were, the higher the probability that Master Elduo would come here. If the traces were too obvious, he would definitely have a suspicion that it was a trap, and the first thing the other party would do would be to thoroughly check the Iron Hand residence.
Su Xiao was sure that Master Elduo and the other undead race experts would definitely come here. They might have come here to save her, or to cut off her ends.
He didn't kill Elduo just because of that. She was now a thorn in the throat of all the undead that were currently hiding in the capital. No one could guarantee that Elduo would be able to go through all the torture without giving away a single secret. If she did reveal even something that wasn't very significant, the entire undead plan would go down the drain, dealing a devastating blow to them.
And since escaping from captivity was obviously quite a challenge, they could at least silence her forever, and once they came, Su Xiao would have a chance.
*Drip-drip...*
The sound of water dripping was so quiet that it was almost impossible to hear. Su Xiao looked towards the source of the sound and saw a black robed figure about 1.8 meters tall on the wall of his residence.
There were corpses on the ground outside the wall. They all died quietly and there was blood on the back of their heads in the same place.
— Man, where is she? The figure standing on the wall asked in a slightly hoarse voice. Su Xiao had heard this unique voice several times before. This kind of voice could mostly be heard from people who had damaged their vocal cords.
— Don't talk to him, just kill him, " another deep voice said.
It wasn't just her master who came for Elduo.
— Calm down. If we catch him, it will help our plan. He's an Iron Hand, " he said, his voice hoarse now in the language of humans.
— You're the leader, so the decision is up to you, " his assistant replied in human language.
— I'm surprised that you were able to kill four royal Guards without too much fuss, " Su Xiao said. Previously, he had checked a few guards and saw that basically all the Royal Guards had 70 points in each basic stat and each of them had five skills, two of which were quite good.
[
Skill 2: Shield (Passive). When the number of Royal Guards within a certain range reaches 20/50/100, all Royal Guards within that radius will ignore 10% / 30%/40% of all damage..
Skill 3: Sword (Passive). When the number of Royal Guards within a certain range reaches 10/40/100, all stats of the Royal Guards within that range will increase by 3/6/8 points (except luck).).
Once the Royal Guards gathered in a group of more than 100 people, even Su Xiao would have to start running away from them, or else he would have to somehow separate them so that he would have any chance of winning.
The Royal Guards were a force that was carefully nurtured by the royal family. How could they be weak? Even if they couldn't form a group, each of them still had a lot of strength and combat experience.
But this pair of undead managed to kill four royal Guards without too much noise, which indirectly indicated their outstanding strength and skills.
