Unknown Knight

Chapter 221: Asking for the Immortal

Under no circumstances should you provoke an angry person, especially a woman with extraordinary combat power. Obviously Bestul knew this.

Seeing Mathilde running towards him with two axes in hand, he turned around and ran without any hesitation. While running, he took out the bow and arrow on his back and shot two consecutive arrows.

It is impossible for ordinary people to dodge Bestul's arrows, but Mathilde, the opponent at this moment, is not an ordinary person.

Driven by the will to fight, her acumen increased by at least 50%. At this moment, everything in her field of vision became blurred. The shouting audience, the fence of the arena, the various garbage and filth thrown at Bestul by the unsportsmanlike people on the stage, and all the things around her turned into streamlines and flew quickly behind her.

And right in the middle of this streamline, the only thing that was clearly visible was her target, Bestur.

The two consecutive arrows that Bestur shot at her seemed as fast as lightning and extremely sharp to outsiders, but to her, they seemed to be much slower than the arrows she usually faced. She easily locked onto them and captured them. Then, with two axes that appeared in the air, she swung them with her left and right hands, easily chopped them down.

Seeing her two amazing axes, Bestur's hair stood on end and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back. As an expert in battle, he immediately judged that Mathilde in her current state was no match for him, and then he tried his best to speed up his pace to increase the distance between them.

To outsiders, Mathilde's current state seems to be like she has turned on her anger, and her strength has increased exponentially in an instant. In fact, it is not that mysterious, and it is not some special trick or super-ultimate state in some anime. If Nana scans her at this time, she will find that she is just secreting a large amount of adrenaline in a short period of time.

Many fighting experts can secrete large amounts of adrenaline in a short period of time through suggestion, mental guidance, or even momentary stimulation. Under the effect of this hormone, people will become focused and precise, react quickly, think quickly, have explosive strength, are not afraid of pain, etc., reaching an extraordinary state higher than usual.

(Friends who have not had this experience should not think that what Bi Fu said is mysterious. Bi Fu who has had experience in fighting has had this experience several times, and it feels like turning on the big gun. It is said that everyone's state is different. Brothers who have experienced this state are also welcome to come out and discuss and exchange ideas.)

Bestul, who was one of the top fighters of the era, was of course aware of this state, but as a devout believer in shamanism, he had his own theoretical explanation. He called this state "going out to ask the immortals for help", and as he was semi-wild, he could "go out to ask the immortals for help", including four kinds of great immortals: the goshawk, the gray wolf, the tiger, and the fox. The immortal he most often asked for was the goshawk, so he often called himself "the eagle on the grassland".

With rich combat experience, he knew that Mathilde was almost invincible at the moment. Even if he fought back desperately, even if he won, the result would be killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own. Such an approach was extremely unwise, and he would never do so.

Seeing Matilde getting closer and closer, Bestur suddenly whispered while running:

“Woo… woo….”

The sound was powerful, deep, and long, giving people a feeling of vastness. If someone calmed down and closed their eyes to listen carefully at this time, they would have a feeling as if they were ten thousand meters high in the sky overlooking the earth. That's right, Bestur "sought the help of the gods", and the one he asked for was the goshawk, which he often used and was best at.

After he finished shouting, Bestur suddenly let out a whistle and his running speed increased abruptly, and he immediately distanced himself from Matilda.

When Bestur is "possessed" by the goshawk, he will feel light and strong all over, which in turn increases his speed a lot. Moreover, the goshawk's "possession" lasts for a long time, but the loss is not great, so it is very suitable for pursuit and escape. Bestur used it frequently in hunting and escaping from pursuit. Countless times of success and life-saving have made him use this "possession" to perfection.

The two of them chased each other quickly around the arena, one in front and one behind. After a few rounds, Mathilde began to feel her breathing heavy and her legs heavy. Although the secretion of adrenaline would greatly improve her condition in a short period of time, it was not all good, and it also required a corresponding price to be paid.

Once adrenaline is secreted in large quantities and used for a long time, the energy stored in the body will be over-consumed, causing people to feel weak after high-intensity exercise. This is equivalent to a disguised equivalent exchange.

Mathilde was also an expert in this field. She knew that if she continued to pursue the enemy without restraint, her body would be over-consumed and would be in a weak state for a period of time. This would be very disadvantageous for the subsequent battles. Although she was very unwilling, she had to stop the pursuit.

This was equivalent to her hitting cotton with a blow of all her strength. She was extremely annoyed. The moment she stopped chasing, she stood still with her front foot. At the same time, she shook her hands, and the flying axe rotated in her hand, changing from a normal hold to a reverse hold. Then, with two "whoosh, whoosh" sounds, the flying axe in her hand was thrown out with all her strength under the blessing of the final state.

The two flying axes, one on the left and one on the right, were spinning at high speed, like two left and right hooks, spinning in an arc, attacking Bestur in a pincer attack.

At this time, no matter which attack Bestur defended with his shield, he would inevitably be attacked from another direction. Fortunately, Bestur was always paying attention to Mathilde's every move. The moment she swung the axe, his eyes were like an eagle's, and he roughly judged the movement trajectory of the flying axe.

He was seen slinging the bow in his hand over his body, suddenly bending down, and leaping forward, landing on all fours like a wolfhound, and leaping several times close to the ground, easily avoiding the deadly flying axe that brushed past his back.

After dodging two flying axes, Bestul leaped upwards, his body changed from lying on the ground to standing upright. After landing, he had a bow in his hand. He stepped firmly on the ground and turned around, shooting three arrows with "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh".

The three arrows were shot at Mathilde's upper, middle and lower positions respectively, as a response to the flying axe just now.

Although the three arrows were fast, they left a trace. In Mathilde's eyes, she could dodge the upper arrow by simply turning her head, and the middle arrow could be easily blocked with the shield in her hand. As for the lower arrow, she was too lazy to pay attention to it. She judged from the angle and trajectory of the arrow that the lower arrow would only shoot into the ground.

Sure enough, when three arrows were shot at her, she dodged the top arrow easily by turning her head. But when she was blocking the arrow, she suddenly felt a pain in the arm holding the shield. She looked down and found that the cunning Bestul had used a conical arrow that could pierce armor. The arrow head had penetrated the shield and penetrated her arm about an inch.

Then she felt a sharp pain in her calf. It was obvious that the arrow shot her calf, and it was the same ground-low arrow that had hit Aix's calf.
