Chapter 5: Hunter vs. Mage
The trees in the Warcraft Forest are generally tall and lush, and it is difficult for sunlight to shine through the gaps in the leaves of the trees and reach the ground, so the Warcraft Forest always makes people feel a cold atmosphere. At the same time, it is also for this reason that the ground in the Warcraft Forest is not like an ordinary forest, and there are many flowers and plants growing between the trees, although they look vibrant, but they will also make the humans who walk through it extremely annoying, either wet or soaking wet......
Trust was now hiding behind a large tree in the Warcraft Forest, and although the surrounding darkness was deeply disturbing, at least his whole body was still dry and not wet. He took out his saber and looked at the blade, took a deep breath, re-sheathed it, and took out a piece of jerky with his backhand. It's strange that this piece of jerky and the rice ball he just ate are clearly separated in the bag.
With the jerky in hand, Toras walked out of hiding and walked towards the place where the two were not far away, releasing a certain tension as he went.
One of them just looked at him and then went on with his own meditation. I saw that the man was sitting on a relatively dry ground, wearing leather armor, his hair was thin, his figure was too thin compared to the other mercenary members, and there was a staff inlaid with a spar the size of a child's fist beside him. It seems that he should be the Duke mage that the mercenary captain said before he left.
The other one with his back to the tree, as if sleeping, should be the client. The client was wearing a hooded robe that covered his entire body, and he couldn't tell if he was equipped with a weapon, and even his face was covered with a cloth to cover his mouth and nose, leaving only a pair of eyes to come out.
"Master Duke, the captain told me to bring you a piece of jerky. Toras walked over, stopped about five meters away from the mage, and said to Master Duke.
"Well, just put it there. The mage replied casually with a somewhat impatient tone.
"Then I'll put it in a clean place next to you, it's not good to put food here. Toras said as he continued in the direction of Master Duke, but before the second step could be taken, an invisible force pushed Toras back.
Master Duke picked up the magic wand next to him in his hand, and just touched it vertically to the ground, and an invisible force spread out in all directions with the spar of the magic wand.
With an angry face, Master Duke turned to the trust and said, "Go any further, it's not just the Ring of Resistance!
Toras placed the jerky on a relatively clean ground, then took a deep look at the client who was sleeping next to Master Duke with his back to the tree, and then turned back and slowly left.
"The Ring of Resistance isn't very powerful, and I could have fought it with one percent of my strength just now. As he walked back, he casually surveyed his surroundings while thinking, "The important thing is that he didn't build magic runes when he issued this skill just now...... It should be the magic rune of the Ring of Resistance engraved in the spar of the magic wand...... It seems that Duke Mage is not an ordinary mercenary mage - most mercenary mages do not have this kind of financial resources, and spend a lot of money to engrave this simple magic rune into the hedrons, then there must be other magical equipment, which is a bit difficult......"
When he finished thinking about things, he happened to return to the place where he had been hiding at the beginning, and he pretended to go behind the tree to rest, but in fact he walked behind the tree, and ran directly from the tree to the top of the tree with all his strength, until he saw a branch with lush green leaves that could cover his body, and turned into hiding.
Toras crouched down and began to observe the situation on the mage's side, expecting the mage to eat the jerky.
But after waiting for a few minutes, the mage still meditated on the spot, and did not seem to move, and his heart began to become anxious.
"No, it looks like this mage won't touch that piece of jerky...... The other four members of the mercenary team may be coming back soon, so they have to find a way to do it directly......" Thinking of this, the trust took off the bow and arrows on his back, and pulled out three arrows that were red firecracker-shaped burst arrows, and the three arrows were placed together on the bow that was being held vertically, aiming at the mage who was still squinting and meditating, took a deep breath, and as soon as he released his hand, the three arrows flew out!
I saw three arrows flying somewhere above the mage's head, the mage's head, and the magic staff that the mage had put down again.
After shooting three arrows, the trust did not stop drawing the bow at this time, but immediately took out an arrow with a sharp arrow, and it was swift. He shot out, and after an arrow flew out, he drew his bow and arrow again, so that he could shoot five arrows in a row before stopping.
The five arrows flew in different directions around Duke, two of which flew towards the client who was sleeping with his back against the tree, and the other three were empty! , rushed out from among the leaves where they were hiding, and several jumps hid in the forest again!
The Burst Arrow is a fire element and a thunder element placed separately in the same container, and the "safety lock" is pulled out before it is shot, leaving only a second "safety film" that is easy to be hit and broken, and when the "safety film" is broken when the arrow is hit, the fire element and the thunder element will mix to produce a certain range of lightning and fire effects.
But in the face of Master Duke, who is the deputy head of the Royal Guard Demon Guide Legion, the effect of such a powerful arrow is not very large, even if it is a container with an element concentration as small as an arrow, he can also perceive it very clearly from a distance of five meters, which is why he often asks others not to be within five meters of him without his consent.
Originally, when he heard the whistling sound of the arrow, Master Duke was ready to dodge, but when he sensed that the arrow was a small-area attack magic arrow like a burst arrow, he stopped the idea of dodging, and immediately picked up the magic wand and touched it vertically on the ground, and then touched it again every second or so, and sent two "rings of resistance", which had a front and back order, and soon spread outward.
The first "Ring of Resistance" encountered the flying burst arrow, and the Thunder Fire Elemental began to explode at a distance of about two meters from Duke, and the impact of the explosion was pushed out by the second "Ring of Resistance" before it could spread outward!
If the time interval between the two "Rings of Resistance" is too short or too long, the "Rings of Resistance" that do not have much "resistance" power will not be able to stop the exploding power. The role of the "Ring of Resistance" here is to reflect, and it only takes a little force to reflect back the effect of the elemental explosion by grabbing the point in time when the explosion power is at its highest!
Before Master Duke could breathe, he heard an arrow whistling over! First flew a magic arrow, and then immediately came a physical attack, which made Master Duke's scalp a little numb.
This time it's not him who is aiming, it's the client! Master Duke, his reaction is not unagile, a low-level spell of the wind system "Chaos" was built in his hand in 0.2 seconds, and it was directly cast on the flying arrows! "Chaos" is the simplest spell to construct runes and the shortest time to cast, and the strength is also the weakest, but it is enough to change the direction of the arrow's flight! But then a second arrow flew again, and Master Duke had no time to make other moves, so he could only block it with his body that had just stood up.
The arrow didn't shoot into Master Duke's body! I saw a flash of green light, and the eyeball-sized hedron on Master Duke's belt was broken, and a wooden board suddenly appeared in the green light—the mid-level low-level spell "Wood Defense" blocked the second arrow! It turned out that Master Duke still had defensive magic items on him!
Duke seized the moment, immediately hugged the client, who was still sleeping, and rolled around. He knew that the "Wood Defense" was actually just a small plank, and he had to dodge. Duke already felt a little overwhelmed by the constant attacks.
"It seems that the trust is not a simple temporary mercenary. "Apparently Master Duke had guessed who was attacking them.
Thinking of this, Mage Duke immediately got up and flicked his magic wand towards the place where he had just seen the arrow fly out, and a trace of enhanced lightning flew out of the spar of the magic wand.
But it was too late, as soon as the lightning was issued, I saw that the trust had already rushed out of the dodging leaves, regardless of whether this enhanced lightning spell was the fastest among the effective attack spells (the lightning attack was the most open, but the attack power was not complimentary, it could only be regarded as a secondary spell), in this case, it would not be able to hit the trust instantly. Mage Duke wanted to flick his wand two more times to activate the enhanced lightning spell engraved in the hedron on the wand to strike the trust.
But it was too late again, and another armor-piercing arrow flew and hit Master Duke's stomach, and the mage snorted, and was carried back by the power of the arrow, just touching the client who was still on the ground, and then his body was about to fall to the ground involuntarily.
At this time, the client, who was wearing a hooded robe, finally "woke up", and he dragged Duke's body to the ground, and helped Duke to the side of the tree to let Duke rest.
Although Master Duke was injured, he was indeed relieved to see the client's "wake up". I saw two arrows on the ground next to me not far apart, and I was afraid for a while. It seems that his actions have been calculated by the trust, a ranger, and if he had rolled not once, but twice, or even three times as best he could, he would have been hit by that arrow in the end...... Fortunately, the arrow I received was not critical......
"You were wrong at the beginning, and then you missed the first step by step. "It's strange that the client stood in front of Duke while searching for the trust's hiding place, and spoke to Master Duke in the tone of a superior person, with a hint of instruction or instruction.
"Please advise, Dean. Master Duke didn't care about the threat of the trust at all at this time, and replied to the client in a respectful tone as he dealt with his own pierced stomach.
"As a mage, you may have gotten used to a certain mentality, thinking that it's normal for someone to prepare food for you, and it might be reasonable to say that the captain of the temporary mercenary team we're in now is stammering with you. But have you ever seen a stammerer give a stammer's belongings to a disobedient subordinate, so that the disobedient one can pass them on to the stammer?" the client said bluntly.
"Also, you set a rule for the people in the team not to come and disturb you while you are meditating. And this one, Trust, a notoriously cautious hunter, is very bold enough to come and disturb you. Don't you feel very suspicious? Your biggest mistake is that, as a mage, you have already placed a taboo, and you have to be responsible for this taboo, otherwise what else is it called? You also told them that you have a taboo - those who are close to you five meters will be killed! But after the ranger tried to break your taboo, you only threatened him!" The client's tone became more and more serious, and finally ended the lesson to Master Duke with a tone of hatred that iron is not steel.
At the same time, the client's eyes became sharper and sharper, and he sensed that the ranger had already touched it!
"Come out, Burroughs, I know you're there," the client suddenly called out to a quiet wooded field to the right......
