Chapter 275: Rat Man Crusade (Part 1)
In this world, people classify various creatures according to their body size in order to evaluate their combat effectiveness. The three categories of "small size", "medium size" and "large size" are roughly on the same level as humans.
The gap between each body type is "double", meaning that a small person is about half the height of a medium size, and a large person is about twice as tall. Of course, they are all estimates, and no one will be bored enough to take a ruler to measure.
Specifically, goblins are the most common small intelligent creatures, and their small size adds to their excellent agility, giving them an advantage in trades such as thieves. But this is a benefit that pure-bred goblins and even higher goblins can have, and mixed-blood goblins like Lulu can't enjoy the benefits of too many bloodlines.
While the Rat People also have an advantage in agility, this advantage is more than offset by their size - they are not small enough, and to make matters worse, they are essentially a branch of the Orcs.
All orc branches have innate strength or physical growth advantages, but also have intellectual disadvantages.
Thieves also need intelligence. Whether training and mastering skills, or arranging and disarming traps, intelligence is one of the keys.
As a weird orc branch, the natural agility growth of the Ratman is often covered by the strength or physical growth of the main body of the orc bloodline, so that most ordinary Ratmen cannot show excellent agility. As for strength or physical advantages— -Look at their thin arms and thin legs, and you know it's unlikely.
However, according to the estimation of the "biological research expert" Han Feng, if we use the common rat people as a blueprint to analyze and adjust the bloodline, and give sufficient nutrition and proper training from childhood, we can cultivate a low stature and look quite slender and slender, but A subspecies of Ratman with great strength.
"This kind of research is meaningless." Han Feng said, "Small man, slender body, excellent strength... I find wild elves to cultivate, it is much more reliable than looking for rat people. Wild elves have a long lifespan and high intelligence. After being cultivated, they can become excellent experimental assistants, what can rat people do? Can they be used as experimental materials?"
"You can act as a thug." Someone suggested at the time.
"I'm a scientist, I don't need to compete with the world, and I don't need any thugs." Han Feng ended this brief discussion about the rat people with words that no one believed.
When he saw the ghostly rat man looking around, Panda immediately remembered this sentence.
In the next instant, Lu Lu showed the savageness of a senior thief.
Before the Rat Man could react, he had already picked up the hand crossbow that had been wound beforehand. The crossbow bolts were blacked out and could hardly be seen in the dim sewer. He only heard the sound of a string, and the Rat Man's eye sockets Blood had already spewed out of it, and a poisoned crossbow was shot from its eyes, directly hitting its brain.
One shot kill!
Panda secretly admired Lu Lu's superb shooting skills, and what was even more powerful was his keen reaction and decisiveness to kill without hesitation. It is indeed the real old rivers and lakes!
As far as archery is concerned, there are many excellent Bilulu in the traverser. For example, his old friend Skye can hold three arrows on one bow at the same time, and hit the rat man's eyes and throat respectively. There will be no mistakes. But if Skye was here, he might be able to find the enemy faster than Lulu, but his first arrow would never be shot at a deadly position, and most of the time he would choose to shoot the opponent's hand, making the opponent lose the ability to resist.
This has nothing to do with the level of technology, just the character. Skye was a well-off white-collar worker before crossing over, and after crossing over, he has no worries of food and clothing, and he also got the body of immortality. This makes his character develop in a gentle and stable direction, with a calm and "gentleman" style, not like Lu Lu, who doesn't seem to be a threat at ordinary times, but is cold, fierce and merciless as soon as he shoots.
Among the traversers, there are many people like Skye, but there are only a few people like Horus who rush to chop the enemy into two pieces as soon as he makes a move.
The three apprentices of Panda are not that kind of ruthless people, so when they saw Lu Lu shot the rat man to death with one arrow, they were all startled, and Riyana couldn't help but mutter: "You're really ruthless with this shot. of!"
"He's a scout, you can't let him make a sound." Lu Lu explained, "Although the fight will definitely be discovered, but if you can delay it for a while, you will have more confidence."
Of course, Erwin and the others also knew this, so they just frowned secretly. The previous plan to visit his house after completing this mission was naturally cancelled.
They can understand this truth and accept this practice, but it does not mean that they are willing to make friends with such people.
Panda looked at Lu Lu one more time, and thought to himself, after this adventure is completed, can he consider recruiting Lu Lu to Tara Khan?
Although Lu Lu is old, his experience is still very useful. For a person like him, it is more suitable to be a teacher than a thief. Even if it is just for him to introduce "Jianghu experience" to young people, it is worth preparing a salary for it.
He is not worried that Lu Lu will teach bad students, this old thief is a smart man, he knows how to observe words and expressions, and he will not do such stupid things.
This world is not the earth, and there is no country and government that can tolerate university professors spraying themselves all day long.
With this idea in mind, in the following battles, in addition to guarding the back of the team, he was carefully observing Lu Lu.
The old thief's archery skills are superb, but his ability to fight with a dagger is mediocre. When they gradually approached the base camp of the Rat Man organization and clashed with more than a dozen Rat Man, Lu Lu rushed to fight according to what was said before, and it took more than a minute to kill it in almost one-on-one situation. A Rat Man thief.
Panda can clearly see that his dagger kung fu has not been instructed by professionals, and it is a completely wild way. Although the shot is very ruthless, there are many loopholes.
Combined with Lulu's living conditions, he can roughly be sure that this old thief has indeed been messing around in the lower classes of society, not a spy from those big organizations.
Words can be faked, actions can be faked, but the subtle habits of battle are extremely difficult to fake.
A person who can cheat to this extent is a trump card even among spies, and he will never be reduced to this.
He observed carefully, the apprentices and Lu Lu were also fighting hard. A rat man in armor and a short sword noticed the panda standing next to him. He didn't know what to think. He screamed sharply and rushed towards him. come over.
This guy was aggressive and looked very dangerous, and Lu Lu couldn't help but glance at this side.
Then, he saw this Rat Man, who was very powerful at first glance, was slapped by the pitch-black Bear Man, who seemed to be sick and had lost all his hair, and flew out, hitting the sewer heavily. On the wall, blood spurted out at least four or five steps away.
The old thief's eyelids twitched, but his heart was much more relaxed.
(It seems that this mission, I can go back alive and safe!)
He just thought so, and suddenly his scalp became numb, and there was a warning sign in his heart...
