Chapter 58 Jack Pumpkin
Seeing the flying blue fireball, Ailuka immediately pulled Krona to avoid it.And Chris also rolled over, leaning against the wall and hid behind a mine cart next to her. At the same time, those blue fireballs flew past, and precisely bombarded the place where the three of them were standing before. Location.Only a few explosion-like sounds of "boom, boom" were heard, and the fist-sized flame erupted with a power almost comparable to that of an incendiary bomb. Spread and wreak havoc all around.

Fortunately, as residents of the wasteland, Ailuka and others have long been used to observing the surrounding environment anytime and anywhere, so as to respond in case of sudden danger.And even though they were suddenly plunged into darkness right now, they still kept in mind the situation around them.Therefore, the moment they were attacked, the three instinctively found a hidden hiding place, and only then escaped the danger of being burned by the flames.

However, unlike the three sisters, Fei Lun didn't react at all. He just stood there motionless until the blue flame came in front of him. across the front.And with Fei Lun's movements, the flame in front of him was split into two automatically as if split by a sharp knife at this moment, and then gradually extinguished.

And at this time, the true face of the attacker finally appeared in front of them.

It looked like a Halloween doll, with a big pumpkin head and a pointed wizard hat on it.Underneath the pumpkin head is a small, disproportionate cloak, and white gloves holding a lantern.But these costumes are meaningless at all, because they have no body at all, whether in the cloak or in the gloves, they are all empty, not even a hair can be found.

"Hahaha!"

Although the first surprise attack was avoided, these pumpkin dolls did not feel any tension at all. On the contrary, they opened their mouths and let out that kind of baby-like laughter again.Then I saw these pumpkin dolls raised the lanterns in their hands, and then waved forward.Accompanied by their movements, fireballs emerged from the air one by one, and then blasted towards everyone again.

This time, Fei Lun finally made a move. The moment those fireballs appeared, his body suddenly flashed, and he came to the pumpkin dolls in the blink of an eye like a ghost. Under the illumination of the blue fireball, the scalpel quickly cut through the darkness with a strange and bright trail of light, piercing through the body of the pumpkin doll in front of him like a sharp blade, splitting it and the fireball beside it in two.The pumpkin doll that was cut in the middle only let out a scream, and then turned into a little light dust with a "bang", and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Hahaha!! Hahaha!!!"

Seeing his companion being killed, the other pumpkin dolls immediately dispersed, and at the same time let out that weird laugh again.It's just that their voices seem to be much sharper now than before.It seems that this "laughter" is not a way for them to express their emotions, but just a means of making sounds.

And while Fei Lun restrained these familiars, the three sisters hiding around also quickly started to fight back.The one who bears the brunt is naturally Ailuka, her [Fierce Firepower] is simply a big killer in such a narrow terrain.Accompanied by Iluka's angry shout, the next moment, a hail of bullets poured down from the other side of the cave like a flood, enveloping the pumpkin dolls.

However, this kind of firepower, which is powerful enough to destroy a platoon in an instant, is useless in front of these monsters. Those pumpkin dolls just raised their hands, and soon, barriers of flames spread out in front of them. After blocking the flying bullets, these monsters screamed, turned around and ran towards the depths of the mine.The speed of her movements made Iluka stunned. It took less than ten seconds for her to shoot the laser rifle, and those weird guys disappeared into the depths of the dark mine tunnel without a trace.

"What is this... what?"

Holding a laser rifle, Ai Luka is obviously not used to this kind of development.Not only that, even Chris and Krona showed doubts on their faces.It's no wonder that after they found themselves in an ambush before, they were all ready to fight hard with each other, but they didn't expect these familiars to be so fancy and useless. After being killed by Fei Lun, they were all scared. Ran.This made the three sisters a little speechless, but Fei Lun was calmer. He reached out, picked up his hat from the ground, patted the dust on it, and then put it on again.

"Okay, let's move on."

"Hey?"

Hearing this, the three sisters were taken aback for a moment. Ailuka looked at the inside of the extremely dark passage in surprise, then looked at Faerun, hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"Don't you need to prepare, Commander? It's really strange that those familiars just ran away..."

"It doesn't matter if you prepare or not, and in fact there is nothing strange about it, because this is the nature of the familiar."

"nature?"

"Yes."

While speaking, Fei Lun continued to walk forward, and the three sisters also hurriedly followed.Chris silently took out a lighting stick from her arms, lit it up and held it up high.Soon, a dazzling white light emerged from it, dispelling the surrounding darkness.And Krona and Ai Luka watched Fei Lun seriously.To live in the wasteland, knowledge is essential.Especially the knowledge about these strange things may seem useless now, but it may save one's life sometime.And Fei Lun obviously knew their thoughts very well, so he gave the answer with a smile.

"When you deal with familiars, you must completely get rid of the common sense about human beings in your mind, and don't use human common sense to set these guys. You must remember that they come from a world completely different from ours. , then don’t expect them to treat you with human concepts. It’s like just now………”

As he spoke, Fei Lun pointed to them not far away.

"It looks like a sudden attack to you, but in fact, the other party is probably just joking with us, just like children always like to do."

"joke?"

Hearing Fei Lun's answer, Ailuka and the others looked at the scorched black area not far from them with strange expressions—it was the pothole that was blown out by the pumpkin dolls before.The burning flames and explosive airflow not only blew out a big hole, but even completely burned the mine cart next to it, together with those mining tools, to ashes.It is conceivable what the consequences will be if it hits someone all of a sudden.

(A familiar has no concept of life and death)
And at this moment, Delin's voice emerged in the minds of the three sisters.

(In the world we live in, death does not exist at all, so for familiars, they don't understand at all what death represents or what it means)
"But...didn't the commander kill one of them just now, that's why he scared them away?"

Hearing this, Krona raised a question timidly.But in the face of her question, the black cat lying on Fei Lun's shoulder stretched out its front paw and scratched its face, then flicked its tail.

(For familiars, that is not death, as long as there is enough network energy, they will be reborn again. Therefore, most familiars do not understand the human concept of death at all. In our opinion, it is just a kind of It’s just an inefficient form of energy conversion. As for the frightening away of those familiars just now, it has nothing to do with their companions being wiped out by their masters.

"Uh………"

Hearing Delin's calm explanation, the three sisters didn't know what to say.They fought with each other just now with the mood of mortal death, but in the eyes of the other party, this is just a game and a farce?

"Then, why not let Miss Dering negotiate directly with them?"

"It's useless."

Facing Ai Luka's question, Fei Lun waved his hand again.

"Although many familiars live in groups, they are basically liberals. That is to say, they only care about themselves, and they basically don't care about other things. Even if I ask Delin to talk to them Communication is useless, maybe they turned around and threw it behind their heads after getting Delin's message, and went on to find a fun game to pass the time."

"So... what should we do?"

Hearing this, Ailuka couldn't help but get a headache. She used to only know that familiars are weird and difficult to get along with, but she didn't expect them to be so difficult.In this way, what can they do with these familiars?

"In fact, the method is very simple and very useful."

And at this moment, Fei Lun's voice sounded again.Hearing this, Ailuka hurriedly raised her head and looked at Fei Lun.

"What way? Commander?"

"It's simple."

Facing Ailuka's question, Fei Lun smiled and raised a finger, putting it next to his mouth.

"Four words—hit him until he is convinced."
