Knowing the opponent's specific attack position first relies on prediction, roughly judging that the opponent will attack vital organs such as the heart or head.
Secondly, it relied on An Yi's intuition, which she herself couldn't quite explain.
Of course, there will also be times when the demons attack the hands, feet, or other non-lethal parts of the body. In those situations, one will rely more on intuition to sense the attack.
Some demons with a twisted sense of humor enjoy knocking off their enemies' limbs, as this makes it easier for them to torment them.
Of everyone present, besides Annie, only Heidesha could truly feel this murderous intent.
should say……
From her perspective, it would directly manifest as "killing intent".
She actually sensed something when she was attacked by the Grey Wizard.
Unfortunately, even if one senses something, agility is not enough to escape when caught off guard.
After all, the opponent was a level 13 demon, and the two warriors around level 100 had very little room to maneuver.
The reason the Saintess Squad was able to escape the magical blockade was never because the magic couldn't block them in time, but because the magic shattered them as soon as it arrived.
If they lack the ability to shatter magical spells, even the fastest agility won't allow them to dodge the traps and spells' blockade.
Mosquitoes fly fast, and an electric mosquito swatter will scare them away.
After listening to An'i's description of the [Corrosive Poison Mother Spider], Felia also began to tell An'i about the Dragon Warrior Squad's encounter.
Only Annie here is unaware of the specifics of the situation.
After reading Felia's explanation in the chat group, he roughly understood the situation.
He initially thought it was just a whim of the Water Demon Clan, since every single one of them was crazy, nine out of ten had mental problems, and the other was on the verge of going insane.
Now it seems that things are not so simple.
The four members of the Dragon Warriors team had stayed at the [Water Demon Viscount]'s mansion for a period of time, during which they probably couldn't escape his perception and probing.
The four-person team uses the [Water Demon Viscount] to hunt down demons. As long as they add points to it, the abnormal increase in their magic power will inevitably attract the attention of the enemy.
It's possible they want to capture the heroes of the Dragon Warrior Squad for research.
To put it bluntly, under normal circumstances, the [Hero of Thought] should have been tormented to death long ago.
Until Felia and Heidesha entered the rainforest, the [Hero of Thought] was still confirmed to be alive, so...
The other party must have some reason why they don't want to kill, or dare not kill, the [Hero of Thought].
As for keeping it "as bait," that's completely unnecessary.
Just like the reasoning used when exterminating goblins in the past, the life or death of the hostages has no necessary connection with whether or not anyone will come to rescue them.
As long as the hostage is not confirmed dead and the rescuers are unwilling to give up, a rescue operation will take place.
Conversely, if the rescuers don't care, it makes no difference whether the hostage lives or dies.
Hostages are usually played openly, for example, by displaying them in a conspicuous place to save their lives, or by using them at an appropriate time to disrupt the enemy's plans.
For example, if the enemy is about to withdraw but suddenly presents an important hostage, they may be forced to stay and retrieve the hostage.
What is known now is that the other side does not know whether the hero is aware of the fate of the [Hero of Thought].
Meanwhile, the heroes have confirmed that the [Hero of Thought] is still alive.
则；
The other party, having no idea whether the hero would return, chose to spare the life of the [Hero of Remembrance].
The reason?
An Yi always felt that something was missing.
It feels like a thin thread drifting in a river; you try to reach out and grab it, but it immediately slips through your fingers.
Something is still missing.
[Sword Hero: Something's missing. Could you elaborate?]
Instead of worrying about it, he asked directly.
[Swift Warrior: More details... what aspects of information would you like to know, Senior Brother?]
If Felia could find out exactly what An Yi wanted to know, she thought she might be able to recall something.
Even with just asking, she had no clue.
An Yi was silent for a while, then something suddenly flashed through her mind;
[Sword Hero: Why did the Water Demon Viscount suddenly make contact with the Dragon Hero Squad?]
Minzhi Yongzhe: It seems... they mistook the Dragon Hero for some kind of dragon?
Sword Hero: Okay, thanks.
Felia recounted what happened after the Dragon Warriors were suddenly taken away by the Water Demon Viscount, and it was clear that she wanted to emphasize the dangers of the Viscount's mansion.
For example, Qi said that there are many level 13 demons, and that the enemy can manipulate a large amount of Qi's water, as well as water prisons that can absorb magic power, etc.
She subconsciously felt that the Saintess Squad needed to know the dangers here, so she glossed over the whole story.
But after learning how it all started, An Yi immediately understood everything!
A dragon... I see, a dragon!
Everything is clear now!
Travel at full speed until—
The Holy Hero is born on the fourth day of the third week of the eleventh month!
[Rank B Dungeon: Water Demon City]
Chapter 256 The Water Demon Viscount Dared Not Kill Him (4A)
Because everyone's agility had been increased to a considerable level, and with the reconnaissance ability of [Air Warrior] Heidesha, it took the six of them about a day and a night to break out of the rainforest.
Considering the urgency of the situation, they abandoned their usual strategy of having multiple people travel together and instead had An Yi, Miluko, and Felia, three heroes with agility exceeding 100, carry the other three.
Apart from Layton being carried by Annie and feeling a bit uncomfortable, Lycorina and Heidesha, who were being carried on someone's back, had no complaints.
Felia felt that she had relatively few opportunities to participate in combat, so she put more points into agility and stamina.
Her title is the "Agile Warrior," representing her nimbleness. Most of her skills are related to agility, and she doesn't need to use magic much when traveling normally, so she can put her magic attribute aside a bit.
Using equipment to increase attributes, search qun: 迩疚_缌≤零■3′'寺. Travel, then eat, travel, then eat, moving almost without stopping. It took four days and four nights to finally approach [Water Demon City].
At the time, all five teams started from the same location, and while traveling, they were also maintaining supplies and gathering intelligence, so it took them nearly a week to reach different cities.
Now, the three people responsible for leading the movement all maintain an agility of around 130 points, making them more than three times faster than before.
If you do nothing but eat on the road, you can probably cover the distance that used to take four or five days in a single day.
They traversed nearly ten viscount domains in one go, arriving near their destination at top speed.
We hadn't even arrived at [Water Demon City] yet, but the chat group was already connected.
Before long, a highly agile warrior came to greet them and led the six to the stronghold of [Water Demon City].
This was actually the first time that Felia and Heidesha had come to the Water Demon City; they had never had the chance to come before.
They entered the city without any obstacles and arrived at the stronghold of the heroes of [Water Demon City]. All six of them were more or less surprised.
Contrary to expectations of a "hidden hideout," the heroes actually built a fairly large house in the city of the level eleven demons.
Although demon buildings are generally larger than human buildings, this city is dominated by high-magic-power demons, whose physical size is not much larger than that of humans.
This is a house that can accommodate forty or fifty people, and compared to other normal houses in the city, it is by no means small.
As soon as they entered the gate, they found that the heroes who had received the message were already waiting in the lobby downstairs.
It's still the middle of the night, and some of these people probably got out of bed on purpose.
Among the warriors, some were excited and some were serious. Most of the twenty highly agile warriors looked at the four members of the Saintess's team who entered with admiration or excitement.
"You've all finally arrived!" Lana stepped forward excitedly. "We've prepared food, so please rest for a bit."
She was naturally excited, because the arrival of the Saintess Squad meant that the rescue operation was about to begin!
Because of his own mistake, his team members were imprisoned by the demons.
And now, she can rescue [Hero of Thought] Paric from the prison!
Lana isn't so arrogant as to think she can rescue the other person on her own; the cooperation of the heroes is very important.
But since we're going to cooperate, it means that someone will inevitably sacrifice themselves in this operation.
The arrival of the Saintess Squad means that the casualty rate of this operation can definitely be reduced to a minimum!
5. No one will even die!
It's not that the Saintess Squad has any extraordinary abilities, but rather...
If someone else were to make the plan, could they minimize the number of casualties?
Nobody has that kind of confidence.
Licorina nodded and smiled, "Everyone is waiting for us, and we can't waste everyone's time. Let's eat and talk."
"Please come upstairs, everyone!"
"I'll go get the food!"
"I'll get some water!"
As if vying to show off in front of the Saintess's team, the highly agile warriors scattered in all directions. Some led the way, some went to the warehouse to get food, and some went up to set up tables and chairs.
When everyone entered the conference room on the second floor, four people's rations were already laid out at the very front of the long and wide conference table, while Filia and Heidesha's rations were obviously placed a little further back.
Of course, it was made by a support-type hero, and it was dry rations brought from human territory, which could quickly replenish physical strength.
One of the brave men apologized, saying, "I didn't know when you would be arriving, and I don't have any good food or drinks."
The four of them didn't mind, and Lycorina laughed and said, "It's okay, we'll just eat it."
Her beautiful, gentle smile moved all the heroes to the point of speechlessness.
As expected of Her Highness the Holy Maiden! So magnanimous! She even forgave their poorly prepared work!
The other four elite squads didn't think much of it, since the Saintess Squad had previously shared dry rations with them.
