Under Flying Dagger's frantic instructions, Li Nian finally opened her mouth with a smile.
"Alright, roger that!"
Then, she jumped off the horse, and a pair of white jade gloves appeared on her hands.
Following that... Li Nian's figure was as ghostly as a phantom, quickly darting from the middle of the team to the edge.
She bypassed the bodyguards who were fighting on the periphery, her body as light as a swallow, nimbly jumping onto the right side of the rock wall and hooking onto a protrusion with her hand.
And she jumped right into... a horde of demon-like mountain goblins!
"Everyone, I'm here to help!"
Li Nian said with a smile, then stood up on the rock wall.
On the rock wall with an inclination of about seventy or eighty degrees, almost vertical, Li Nian stood as steadily as a mountain goat.
Yue Zhenqiao below raised his head, looking at the girl who suddenly appeared in the pile of demons, his face changed slightly: "What is this guy doing?!"
Although these guys came from unknown origins and it remained to be seen whether they were colleagues of the Golden Fortune Escort, Yue Zhenqiao couldn't help but feel a little alarmed seeing the other party in danger.
Those mountain goblins, sensing the living person who suddenly appeared beside them, naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity—several mountain goblins who were originally about to jump down the mountain twisted their bodies in mid-air, then pounced towards the direction where Li Nian was standing!
"Damn it!"
Seeing this scene, Yue Zhenqiao couldn't help but curse inwardly, and then made up his mind.
He was, after all, a "good person" and didn't want to see an innocent girl lose her life in vain!
"Wu Qi, cover me!"
Yue Zhenqiao said, raising his knife as if to rush out to rescue the girl in the pile of demons.
However, just as he started to move, he saw a scene that shocked him.
The five mountain goblins that pounced on the girl suddenly seemed to lose their ability to move, all of them collapsing limply, their bodies rolling down the rock wall towards the bottom of the valley!
Yue Zhenqiao stopped—he clearly saw that in the back heart chests of those mountain goblins, there was a bloody hole that pierced through the front and back.
And after moving his line of sight slightly upward, Yue Zhenqiao then saw the unharmed girl.
In that girl's hand, she was holding five still-beating, blood-stained purple-red hearts!
Each heart was about the size of three fists, covered with blood vessels like beef intestines, and gushes of black and red blood were spurting out.
Without a doubt, this girl used some kind of secret method to snatch the hearts of these mountain goblins who pounced on her in an instant!
"This kind of method... is definitely not a wandering martial artist, but a true Taoist with a lineage!"
Yue Zhenqiao was secretly shocked, only feeling that his previous guess was not wrong.
Being able to instantly take out the hearts of five mountain goblins, this is definitely not a martial artist's method!
In fact, if this woman did it with martial arts, it would be even more terrifying—accurately piercing through the chests of five demons on the mountain wall, taking out the hearts of five demons, and doing it when those five demons leaped up and pounced on her...
If this was a martial artist, then she must be a more terrifying existence than those martial arts masters he had seen, and could be called a martial arts grandmaster, a land true immortal.
And considering that she looked at most ten years old, then it could only be explained by a celestial being descended to earth, or a martial saint reincarnated!
Therefore, Yue Zhenqiao was willing to believe that this was a Taoist from a famous temple in the world.
Thus...
Yue Zhenqiao couldn't help but retreat back into the team with his knife.
The other party has the means, what is there to save?
People jump into the pile of demons, not because of a sudden illness or being in danger, but purely because they have something to rely on.
"... Wu Qi, cover the female warrior over there."
Yue Zhenqiao changed the order he had given before.
"Understood, Escort Chief!"
Wu Qi's reply came from the crowd.
Yue Zhenqiao retreated back to the team, then silently slashed and killed a mountain goblin with his knife, and then looked up at the battle situation around him.
The girl on the mountain wall flashed and moved, and the bloody smell on her body attracted a large number of mountain goblins to run around with her.
And in this process, mountain goblins continued to fall, turning into corpses and rolling down the foot of the mountain.
Then, Yue Zhenqiao silently turned his body and returned from the right wing to the left wing.
Obviously...
With that female warrior holding up this battle line, he doesn't need to make up for it at all.
If it weren't for the sake of the reputation of the Jin Fu Escort's Gu Zhen branch, Yue Zhenqiao would have even wanted to call Wu Qi away!
And not to mention Yue Zhenqiao, Flying Dagger, who was below, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
"What kind of method is this?!"
He had heard Li Nian introduce her, knowing that the other party was a 'second-order' 'thief' and knowing that the other party was probably the 'God Thief' from the 'Freedom Alliance'.
But...
He is also a 'second-order'?
Is this combat power really the standard that a 'second-order' should have?!
Although 'Flying Dagger' knew that if he was at his peak, with the [props] still there, he could protect his life and even be unharmed if he fell into this pile of demons.
Many 'second-order' players can also kill many mountain goblins.
But... being able to fall into the pile of mountain goblins and be surrounded and maintain being unharmed, and also quickly kill so many mountain goblins at the same time, that is extremely rare.
You must know that each of these mountain goblins is thick-skinned and fast-moving, and knowing how to cooperate can produce an effect greater than one plus one equals two.
Most importantly, Flying Dagger didn't see this 'God Thief' use any [props].
In other words, this should be the 'God Thief's' more normal combat power—even if there are skills and [props] with cooldown times, they should be usable in every game, rather than permanent consumables.
At this moment, Flying Dagger suddenly had an idea.
"These three thousand points... are really worth spending!"
And Lin Yu, who was next to him, was also watching Li Nian's operation.
He looked at Li Nian's record and couldn't help but sigh.
"She seems to have become stronger than last time."
Although Li Nian had shown similar methods last time, she had also restricted the robot's actions by stealing the robot's core in the train, but Li Nian explained at the time...
Her trick can only work on "non-life", so in a sense, this is her special attack on "mechanical creations" and "organs".
And now... obviously Li Nian's method has been extended to be effective against living things.
After all, these mountain goblins are undoubtedly living things!
And Lin Yu could clearly detect that Li Nian was not lying when she was on the "Desperate Train".
In other words, Li Nian really couldn't use this trick on living things at that time, she had "improved" her ability during this time.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but become wary of Li Nian.
"Doesn't this mean that she can take out my heart at any time if she wants to?!"
Lin Yu thought vigilantly.
And Old Zheng's voice sounded: "Don't worry, her ability shouldn't be so exaggerated—this trick is essentially an extended application of the 'Thief's' basic ability, and it is specially used to abuse vegetables and clear small monsters."
"Because this trick still has a 'pre-shake' to activate the 'ability', so as long as you can 'discern' the moment she activates the ability and realize that she is about to activate the ability, you should be able to invalidate her trick."
"And it just so happens—if you improve your mental perception to a skillful level, you can easily deal with this trick."
