[023] Critical moment
Even if an ant learns Tai Chi, it is impossible for him to move an elephant.
Mark and Anubis are like two little ants, humble in front of the big skeleton.
"I'm almost out of here, think of a solution, the captain's prompt!"
Mark pulled Anubis and walked through the ground, his mouth full of blood, and blood foam splattered everywhere as he roared.
"hint?"
"What does the prompt the captain gave me for the big news?"
"Why can Arkhamkuros not get drunk with a thousand cups?"
"Of course it was because of a hole in my stomach!"
"But what does this have to do with the big skeleton?"
Anubis's body was wavy and he felt confused.
At this time, the big skeleton hammered the ground with both hands. Every time he hit the ground, the ground would vibrate violently, and then sank violently, as if it had been hit by a meteorite.
The big skeleton is obviously not lacking in calcium. Its bones are extremely hard and have a layer of curse protection, which is even harder than diamonds.
It is not as slow as an ordinary skeleton soldier, but it has agility that is inconsistent with its body shape, and is even a little faster than a normal person.
"Come out, little boy, you are not worthy of being a student of Mobis Academy, come out quickly."
"Bastard, if you don't come out, I will deduct all your credits. You will all become skeletons and stay here forever with me. You can only watch others graduate!"
"Your credits are gone!"
"Your graduation certificate is gone!"
"You're done."
The big skeleton kept threatening. After finding that the hammering on the ground was useless, he simply stood up and looked around and kept scanning the surroundings.
Underground, Mark finally stopped, and he looked at Anubis while wiping the blood from his mouth.
Anubis was in a better condition than him. With the replenishment of the mantra, his folded body quickly recovered, but he could feel that there was not much mantra left in Mark's body, so his face was not very good.
"We must crack the captain's prompts when fighting meeting." Mark took out the nutrient solution and drank it in one sip, and then spoke.
Anubis said helplessly: "The problem is that this prompt is too vague. Why can Akhamkuros not get drunk for a thousand cups? The answer is very simple. A hole in his stomach, but what does this have to do with us? Could it be that we can make a hole in the belly of the big skeleton? Even if we have the ability to make a hole in the belly of the big skeleton, the question is whether the big skeleton has a belly? Could it be that we have to make a hole in its ribs?"
"Wait, maybe... to open a hole in your stomach?" Mark suddenly looked at Anubis' abdomen and spoke and suggested.
Anubis frowned and said, "What is this good for our battle?"
"No, suppose we have a way to suck out the ghost fire of the big skeleton, can you swallow it?" The more Mark thought about it, the more he felt that his thoughts were more difficult.
Anubis took out a dagger, made a hole in his abdomen, and said indifferently: "Do you think you can win this way?"
"Why are you trying to stab yourself now? You have to waste my curse power." Mark said helplessly.
Anubis said crazy: "I just want to tell you that this is simply impossible to be useful."
He can indeed suck the fire out, but the problem is that the big skeleton's ghost fire is so huge. I'm afraid that if he can't completely suck out the ghost fire, the big skeleton will slap him to death.
Does this make sense?
"No, the captain will never arrange a dead situation for us. There must be a way to solve the big skeleton." Mark said with a frown.
He believed in Hawkins, so he would not doubt Hawkins' arrangements.
Besides, so far, they have actually made a lot of money. As long as they take out the skeleton soldiers summoned by Anubis, they will be a completely fearless army.
Although this army has various flaws, it is still a very strong force.
Next, the two of them stared at each other, and no one could convince anyone.
About twenty minutes later, Anubis suddenly looked up and said indifferently: "It's quiet."
"Are you leaving?" Mark guessed.
Anubis thought for a while and said indifferently: "I'll go and have a look."
Then he quickly floated up and drilled out of the ground from the ground, and then saw the big skeleton sitting cross-legged not far away, looking at the place where they had just sneaked into the ground.
"Um?"
The big skeleton seemed to notice Anubis's gaze and turned his head in confusion, but did not notice Anubis.
Underground, Anubis breathed a little relieved. This big skeleton was so terrible. Sitting there was like a mountain, with extremely keen intuition and sneak attacks, obviously without thinking about it.
"How could such a monster be beaten by Mark and I? Captain, what did you think?"
Anubis sighed slightly, changed direction, and quietly emerged. He glanced at the big skeleton and quickly retracted back to the ground.
"Um?"
The big skeleton turned his head again to look at the position where Anubis had just emerged.
Just as Anubis judged, it has keen intuition that ordinary people can imagine. As long as it is in a state of awakeness, even if someone looks at it thousands of miles away, it can accurately determine the other party's position.
It was sure that there was a little cub peeking at it, but it couldn't determine the other person's position.
But as long as the little boy dares to appear again, it will be confident that it will directly slap the little boy to death.
"Can't watch it anymore."
Anubis was underground and vaguely noticed the murderous intent of the big skeleton.
This is completely intuition. As long as he dares to go out and take a look, he will inevitably be killed by the big skeleton.
Although his death is not true death, Mark has enough spell power to resurrect him at any time, what Mark lacks the most now is spell power, so it is better not to waste this unnecessary waste.
He quickly returned to Mark and spoke, "The big skeleton is sitting on it, obviously preparing to squat at us."
"The captain will definitely not make any mistakes. The big skeleton has a way to deal with it. Anubis, think about it carefully, what does the prompt mean?" Mark said after hearing this.
Anubis frowned and said, "Stop being stubborn. Maybe the captain's prompt is really wrong?"
"Impossible, there will be no mistakes." Mark stubbornly denies.
Anubis was so angry that he wanted to beat Mark, but Mark's words then made him think deeply.
"I would rather believe the captain than questioning the captain, because doubt only brings despair, while believing the captain means hope. Moreover, compared to our judgment, I believe the captain's judgment more. After all, we are all mortals, but the captain is already a demigod body." Mark looked at Anubis and said seriously.
Questioning is equal to despair, and belief is equal to hope.
Anubis was completely stunned. He always claimed to be extremely smart and had a talent that was not as good as ordinary people.
But at this moment, he realized that Mark was not stupider than himself. Behind this seemingly stupid persistence, there was actually great wisdom.
"What you said makes sense, then what should we do?" Anubis calmed down and asked looking at Mark.
Mark smiled foolishly for granted: "Of course it's the prompt to crack the captain."
"Why can Arkhamkuros not get drunk for a thousand cups? Didn't you say that? Arkhamkuros can dig a hole in his abdomen and release all the wine." Anubis frowned and repeated.
Mark nodded and said, "So, my proposal just now..."
"Impossible. Before I absorbed the ghost fire of the big skeleton, I guess the big skeleton would slap me to death first." Anubis interrupted without waiting for Mark to finish speaking.
Mark frowned and said, "Will this sentence have a deeper meaning?"
"What is the deeper meaning?" Anubis also frowned and repeated in a low voice.
Mark nodded and said, "For example, this sentence actually has a metaphor. What does it reflect? The captain may not tell us the answer in a straightforward way, but we need to think more ourselves."
"It's not unreasonable for you to say this, wait... Let's start with the analysis from the beginning.
The captain’s question is ‘Why can Arkhamkuros not get drunk for a thousand cups?’ My answer is to open a hole in the abdomen and put wine in it. Assuming that the answer is wrong, then we will trace the origin. The reason why Arkhamkuros dares to put wine in the abdomen is because his ability is called ‘hole opener’. He can open a hole in any part of his body, and he can recover by removing his ability. So… opening a hole is the captain’s real prompt?” Anubis used his brain power and analyzed carefully.
Mark's eyes lit up and said, "So the captain wants us to make a hole in your abdomen?"
"Stop interrupting. It is obviously not about making holes in me, but probably about opening holes in the big skeleton. Perhaps this is its weakness. As long as you dig a hole in it, no matter how small the hole is, the big skeleton will suffer severe damage. "Anubis guessed.
Mark smiled bitterly and said, "It's a bit difficult to make holes in the big skeleton. I guess the thickness of the bones of the big skeleton leading to the inner layer of the bone marrow is at least one meter. Coupled with its powerful spell power, opening holes is simply an impossible task."
"No, if we have a chance, if we just open a hole, we have a chance!" Anubis denied.
Mark looked at him and asked, "What did you find?"
"No, but I can do enough damage to the big skeleton's body through uninterrupted attacks, and then break through a hole." Anubis shook his head.
Mark frowned and said, "The big skeleton's curse is too strong. Are you sure you can?"
"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine, but I'm afraid I'll die many times, so the most important thing at the moment is that you have enough curse power." Anubis said sure.
Mark took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Then try it. I will provide the power of the mantra. I have saved some of the mantras. At this time, it can be extracted and used."
Because he had debts before, he had to provide mantra power to the mantra bank every day. Later, after paying off the mantra power, he developed a habit and silently stored a lot of mantra power.
These mantras were silently taken out and stored in his body before he entered this space. However, this mantras were hard-won, so he would not use them easily until the critical moment.
