Chapter 801: The Sacrifice
Seeing this notification, Su Xiao felt a bad feeling. He could avoid the attacks of this arrow by firstly relying on his body and perception, and secondly relying on the response of his reflexes.
And now that the response speed of his reflexes has been increased by 8%, it is obvious to him that the speed of this arrow has become faster, and dodging it has become more difficult, and this was not because it became faster, but because his reaction has become worse.
*Whew~*
The arrow grazed Su Xiao's shoulder, leaving a trail of blood on it.
[You have been exposed to an unknown toxin. This unknown toxin has affected your body.
The abnormal conditions that were imposed now also created a synergy, the current number of negative effects: 2.
The response time of your reflexes has been increased by 12%, and your body defense has been reduced by 15 points. These negative effects will last for a total of 1 minute.
[Notice: Due to the Hunter's high resistance, the duration of abnormal states has been reduced by 60%, with negative effects lasting for a total of 24 seconds.]
Everything around Su Xiao suddenly sped up, and a blue-gray energy was stuck to his body. Fortunately, it was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Tens of meters away, the Prince focused on controlling the arrow. Sometimes he whistled slowly, and sometimes quickly. He was waiting for the right moment, he was waiting for the arrow to attack Su Xiao for the third time. If this happens, the previously applied effects will be enhanced and move to a new, higher-quality level..
The Prince now felt that he had a great advantage. In a 1v1 melee fight, he wouldn't be a match for him, but in a situation like this, he had a big advantage.
As soon as his arrow touched his opponent's body, the battle would essentially end there.
*Phew-yu-yu-yu~*
A loud whistle rang out, and hundreds of mechanical dragonflies beside the Prince quickly flapped their wings and began to circle around him.
It wasn't that the Prince didn't want to use these mechanical dragonflies to kill Su Xiao, but that he didn't have enough energy to control the arrow plus these dragonflies.
This arrow was very important to the Prince. He couldn't lose her. Once it was destroyed or severely damaged, the Prince would become much weaker and would no longer be able to kill Su Xiao.
[Ghost Bee.
Type: Summoned Creature.
Health: 94%.
Mana: 0.
Endurance: 20.
Sharpness: 32.
Skill 1: Becoming a Ghost.
Skill 2: Royal Bee Venom.
Skill 3: Adaptive Speed.
Skill 4: Acoustic Sensor System.
Skill 5: Three Melds (Bee, Beetle, and Ant)).
Skill 6: Supersonic Speed (after using this ability, the ghost bee will go to sleep for 72 hours).]
The ghost Bee was the Prince's strongest weapon without any exceptions.
And at this moment, his arrow was trying to kill Su Xiao. The dragon flash in Su Xiao's hand tried to hit it from time to time, however, due to the effect of the poison on the tip of this arrow, his reaction was greatly affected, making it impossible to hit it.
Only 8 seconds remained until the negative effects of this poison ended. Once they disappeared, Su Xiao would be able to cut this arrow into two pieces.
*Whew~*
Su Xiao turned his head and the arrow flew right under his ear, but fortunately, it didn't hit him.
The speed of this arrow was getting faster and faster, causing his shields to simply not be able to keep up with it anymore.
Su Xiao glanced at the Prince. He stood motionless on the spot tens of meters away and looked very relaxed. Destroying this arrow was the key to winning this battle.
A light blue light flashed in the air. It wasn't an arrow attack, but Su Xiao's attack.
A light blue light quickly spread around Su Xiao, causing the Prince to almost lose sight of his opponent.
His arrow was still trying to kill Su Xiao. Although he managed to dodge that arrow, each time he did, he had less room to maneuver.
The prince, however, having assessed this light from afar, could not understand what his opponent wanted to do.
The dragon's flash suddenly disappeared from Su Xiao's hands in the blink of an eye, and after seeing it, the Prince knew that this was the right moment to attack.
The arrow immediately flew straight at Su Xiao's forehead.
Su Xiao leaned back with all his might, but unfortunately, the arrow was too fast.
*Ji-i-i-i-n!*
Suddenly, the sound of an iron string being pulled to the limit resounded in the surroundings, after which dozens of barely noticeable threads that were covered in blue energy wrapped around the arrow.
— Gotcha, " Su Xiao said and pulled on his threads. That's right, the previously released light in all directions was just a trick that allowed him to hide the installation of his threads.
The Prince's expression didn't turn very good. Su Xiao didn't care about the Prince's thoughts. He immediately took out the Dragon Flash and brought the sword blade down directly on that arrow.
— Order: ants, " but before the long blade of the sword could cut the arrow in half, the black arrow suddenly turned yellow and small cracks appeared on its surface.
It wasn't destroyed, but split up into small ants.
The long blade cut hundreds of small ants apart, but this strike didn't cause any significant damage to the arrow, and as it split into thousands of small ants, this arrow was released from its shackles.
— Order: spread out.
The small ants immediately began to scatter in all directions.
All the shields around Su Xiao immediately moved out of their places and started scooping up these ants. When most of the ants were "picked up" by the shields, they came together in a solid ball.
The threads immediately wrapped around the ball, and Su Xiao immediately pulled the threads towards him, then kicked the ball with all his strength with his right foot.
*Boom!*
The balloon whizzed away far into the sky.
— Order... The prince suddenly paused, as he realized that because part of the arrow was now in the air and flying away from him quickly, he simply couldn't give the ants in the ball an order, because it would simply not reach them.
In order for the Prince's orders to reach the creatures he summoned, they had to be within 100 meters of him.
— Call: Refund.
But nothing happened, and it wasn't that those ants couldn't come back, but that they were thrown too far away.
They couldn't have come back that fast.
Su Xiao looked at the Prince with a smile on his face. "Soru," and then disappeared.
— Order: Sacrifice.
The hundreds of mechanical dragonflies next to the Prince flashed red and immediately charged forward.
But not only did these mechanical dragonflies charge forward — even mechanical beetles and mechanical earthworms started crawling out of the floor and rushed towards Su Xiao with a powerful red light in their eyes.
There was only one thing in their minds right now — they should die together with Su Xiao.
A person's speed became very fast after using Soru, but it was very difficult to change their direction after using Soru. At best, you could only slightly adjust your path, but no more.
*Boom-boom-boom...*
The sound of explosions echoed along the wall. Although the Prince didn't know where Su Xiao was, as he was too fast for him, the creatures he summoned did all the most dangerous work for him. As soon as Su Xiao was near them, they would immediately explode, so no matter how fast he was, he couldn't get past them without being noticed.
Flames shot up, but before the explosions subsided, a figure suddenly flew out of the flames.
*Crackle-crackle*
Cracks appeared on the newly formed shields around Su Xiao. In a single second, these shields were able to contain a hundred explosions. Fortunately, most of these explosions only grazed the shields tangentially, but even so, they were on the verge of being destroyed.
In the next moment Su Xiao's figure flashed and he was three meters away from the Prince.
— Order: for...
*Pouf*
Blood fell to the floor. The left side of the Prince's body was numb. His entire left arm along with his shoulder was cut off.
Blood splattered on the Prince's face, but he was unusually calm.
— ...mena.
The prince disappeared, and a bucket-sized bug appeared in front of Su Xiao.
The beetle's body immediately began to expand rapidly.
It was obviously going to explode.
*BOOM!*
A fireball with a diameter of several dozen meters enveloped Su Xiao.
Two seconds later, the fireball disappeared, and Su Xiao was standing in a semicircular pit.
Shields floated around him.
With a bang, those shields broke apart and disappeared.
— Khe-khe-khe... Su Xiao covered his mouth with his hand, but blood immediately stained his fingers.
His entire body was covered in burns, but his legs were the most affected. His calves were particularly bad — they looked more like a piece of fried meat torn to pieces than a piece of a human leg.
Su Xiao immediately took out Potion No. 1, this time the potion was different from its previous version. This potion was packed in a syringe.
After sticking the needle into his neck, he immediately injected the liquid inside.
As soon as the liquid entered Su Xiao's neck, the blood vessels on his entire body swelled up, however, after a while, his legs began to heal quickly.
At least now he didn't feel a huge amount of pain, and there was nothing to block his movements.
