Chapter 501 - A Shocking Idea
Cruise had a flash of inspiration and seemed to know what Klein was going to do. He quickly helped lay the dried gra.s.s on the rope.
After everything was ready, Klein poured some of the drinking water in his backpack onto the rope that was covered with dried gra.s.s.
As the surface temperature of the glacier was extremely low, the water instantly froze, forming a mystical and exquisite pontoon!
It was this method that made Cruise admire Klein from head to toe,
He knew that Klein was a truly intelligent person, and he was also someone who could think of a brilliant solution in times of danger.
Klein stepped on the pontoon that had been frozen solid. Other than the fact that his feet often slipped, there was no problem.
Although his feet were still frozen when he walked on the pontoon, it was basically tolerable.
"That"s enough. The two of us can go over the pontoon and collect the Black Lotus Flower."
This priceless item was easily within reach. Both of them had excited and delighted expressions on their faces.
But at that moment, an accident happened.
A burst of laughter that made one"s teeth ache came from below.
Klein frowned slightly and turned his head. He saw a mysterious man in a black cloak standing in front of him. He knew this person.
"Black Clown? Why are you here?"
But Klein instantly understood. This fellow had probably been following his tracks the entire time, planning to catch the cicada and the oriole behind.
Black Clown was definitely very interested in the Black Lotus Flower, but the glacial climate of the heaven and earth made him turn his back.
Therefore, he first observed in the dark and saw that Klein already had a way to cross the bridge. Only then did he come out, ready to take advantage of the situation.
Klein frowned and said, "That"s right, it"s me. I didn"t expect you to be so smart, Klein. You even thought of such a strange method and helped me build a pontoon bridge. I still have to thank you!"
Klein frowned tightly. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such a shameless person.
Cruise was a young and arrogant man, so he naturally couldn"t let such a shameless person go.
He pointed at Black Clown"s nose and said, "Don"t you have any morals? We were the ones who came first. Furthermore, it was Klein who thought of a way to build the pontoon. Why? Are you planning on s.n.a.t.c.hing our victory?
Black Clown laughed again. His laugh was rather evil, and Klein even found it disgusting.
"How can this be called s.n.a.t.c.hing the fruits of your labor? This is a world where the victors are kings and the losers are bandits. I can still rely on my own strength to s.n.a.t.c.h what you can obtain. It depends on whose strength is stronger!"
It seemed like the other party had decided to speak with strength. Klein curled his lips,
This perverted fellow dared to boast in front of him. He simply didn"t know what was good for him!
Black Clown raised his head and laughed maniacally as he stretched out his arm. Immediately after, a transparent barrier appeared in front of him.
It was like a transparent barrier covered in tiny spikes.
Klein knew that these spikes were the most poisonous. They would paralyze his entire body upon contact and he wouldn"t be able to get up,
He didn"t expect the other party to use such a vicious move from the start.
He hurriedly protected the youth, Cruise, behind him. He didn"t want to clash head-on with this fellow.
Klein looked at him and said, "You"re not his match. Hide to the side!"
Cruise seemed to be a little afraid as well, but the youth still cared about his face.
Once he dodged, wouldn"t he be looked down upon by Klein and the fellow called Black Clown!?
But just as Cruise was hesitating, the transparent barrier that was filled with weapons had already surrounded the two of them. Furthermore, it was shrinking even tighter!
Klein could feel the shimmering blade and the immense chill it emitted. It complemented the world of ice and snow...
Black Clown smiled even more proudly. "You haven"t tasted the feeling of being surrounded, have you? I"ll let you try it today! Go! My babies!"
"This fellow is indeed abnormal." Klein gritted his teeth and summoned the Endless Sword.
He soared into the air and slashed at the surrounding transparent barrier,
His entire body drew an arc in the air. It was a 360-degree attack.
He could even hear the continuous clashing of metal from both sides. There was an aura of either one of them being dead or alive.
The sharp bayonet on the transparent barrier was no match for the Endless Sword.
The powerful airflow of the Endless Sword could instantly deflect the barrier that was surrounding it,
After Klein"s barrage of attacks, the sharp bayonet on the barrier shattered inch by inch.
It landed on the ice beneath his feet, making creaking sounds.
At this moment, Cruise, who was standing to the side, had been scared silly. He was like a wooden sculpture, not daring to move at all.
Then, he finally realized how terrifying Klein was. He wasn"t on the same level as Klein or Black Clown.
As expected, even if he was young and frivolous, he should know his limits,
Cruise avoided the transparent barrier in front of him and obediently found a corner. He covered his head and squatted down, putting on a defensive posture.
Then, he kept exhorting.
"Klein, you have to be careful. This fellow is extremely vicious. Be careful of sneak attacks!"
To Black Clown, there was no bottom line or morality. There was no shortage of deception in war.
As long as it went smoothly, it didn"t matter what tricks he used. Indeed, the moment Klein split open the transparent barrier.
The cold blade brushed past his ear.
It turned out that the transparent barrier was just a feint. Black Clown"s true attack was behind it!
A metal knife as thin as a cicada"s wings that couldn"t be seen by the naked eye flew forward!
This metal knife had the same origin as the metal on the barrier. It was also coated with poison.
Seeing that the situation wasn"t looking good, Klein quickly dodged and ducked very dangerously.
With a plop, the knife fell into the water and finally disappeared.
The air instantly froze. Both parties seemed to be waiting for a result.
A few seconds later, Klein felt an intense pain in his ears as blood dripped down his cheeks.
A smug smile appeared on Black Clown"s face. He had indeed succeeded in his sneak attack.
As long as the thin knife touched his skin, the poison would enter his body like a bone-eroding maggot and instantly take effect.
Klein fell to the ground with a thud. He felt as though his entire nervous system had suffered tremendous damage, and his limbs were convulsing uncontrollably.
Cruise was taken aback and quickly pounced forward to check on the situation. He knew that Klein had been poisoned.
In a panic, Cruise pointed at Black Clown"s nose and cursed loudly.
You"re really too shameless. You actually used such a vicious and despicable method to launch a sneak attack!
"Hahahaha! This is called all deception in war. What is sinister and despicable? There"s no such thing as a fair and just existence in this world. It"s just a winner takes all!"
As he said that, Black Clown took a step forward and closed in on Klein.
After completely eliminating the fellow in front of him, there would be one less powerful enemy, and the Black Lotus Flower would be at his fingertips!
But what Black Clown never expected was that his pride was still too early!
