Chapter 11: Attacked

The team moved forward smoothly and steadily. Sometimes it takes a long detour, and of course it is inevitable that you will encounter three or two scattered skeletons, but they are quickly dealt with at the front of the team, and it does not affect the progress of the team in the slightest. Along the way, according to the mission information issued by the major trade unions, these skeletons seen dozens of meters away along the way are not self-conscious, they will only wander unconsciously, sometimes tripping over the thick roots of the big trees that burrow out of the ground in the woods, and they will only subconsciously get up and continue to wander. The only surprising thing is that the skeletons always seem to move back and forth in a fixed area. It's as if someone has ordered him to patrol. Luckily, I haven't encountered any Lich Mage recorded in the quest information until now. According to reports, lich mages have a certain amount of self-awareness. Moreover, it is possible to eat people's spirits.

"You'll be out of the woods right away. "It was Ryan who spoke. For some reason, Ryan subconsciously tugged at the corner of Kara's clothes, and the former slowed down and subconsciously turned around: "What's wrong?"

"Be careful!" At this moment, I saw a ball of fire about one meter in diameter shooting down from the sky. From a giant sequoia tree nearly 100 meters high, to be exact.

As soon as the words were spoken, one group, two groups, five groups, ten groups, and in the blink of an eye, ten fires were already shooting from different directions, shooting in ten directions of the team. Because of the strong miasma, the fire can appear in the miasma, indicating that the distance of the fireball is already close at hand, and sure enough, a heat wave like covering the sky swept in.

Ryan bent his knees slightly, driving the mud under his feet, and he was already jumping high, and his right hand drew the black iron greatsword from his back, and slammed into one of the fireballs. The fireball was unbiased, and if it was allowed to fall, it would hit right above Kara's head. The true size of the fireball is less than half a meter in diameter, but this kind of spell formed by the high pressure of the fire-based magic element is by no means comparable to the flame of ordinary dry wood burning. If the flame of ordinary dry wood can burn the skin of ordinary people, this kind of spell with the high pressure of fire-based magic elements is enough to melt the bones of ordinary people. Kara wasn't an ordinary person, but the intensity of the flames was enough to hurt her.

"Peng", the tip of the sword forward, aimed at the center of the fireball, Ryan's wrist trembled, and the fireball burst in response. Turned into a little starlight and dissipated into the air. With Ryan's reminder, everyone quickly reacted, and at the same time as Ryan fell, there were already seven or eight figures in the team that jumped up in an instant, attacking fireballs in different directions.

"Peng Peng Peng", the fireballs were defeated one by one. However, more and more firelight resurfaced in the thick miasma.

"Quick, forward, out of this wood. I don't know whose voice came from the front of the line. It should have been Jack who gave the order. Now that there was an order, everyone could not care about the order of the team, and rushed forward one after another.

"Ahh One, two.

"Quick, be careful under your feet, there are skeletons underground. "This is the voice of Kim Puwonka.

Feiqi panicked in his heart, and when he heard the voice, he immediately jumped on Ryan's back, saying that it was too late, and then quickly, only to see a withered yellow bony hand burrowing out of the ground under Feiqi's original feet. Perhaps shocked by the sudden sight, the crowd dispersed. In a moment, the skeleton burrowed out of the ground. The skeleton's whole body was yellow, and in his left hand was a rusty broken blade, and there seemed to be a little green light in his two hollow eye sockets, which was flickering slightly in light and dark, like human breath. The skeleton poked out of the ground for a moment, and then pounced on a warrior with the rusty broken blade. Or perhaps frightened by this horrible and gloomy sight, the soldier stood on the spot, so frightened that he forgot to run.

"Don't panic, everyone, these skeletons are very fragile, and they are not even as strong as trainee swordsmen. "It was Yinhuang who spoke, Yinfeng's younger brother, and while speaking, Yinhuang pulled out the long sword at his waist, slashed it with a sword, and cut off the skeleton's head, and the skeleton that lost its head fell apart with a bang as if it had lost its source of strength. As the deputy head of the [Silver Knight] mercenary group, Silver Phoenix once led a small team of members into the [Plague Land] to investigate, so he already has a certain understanding of the lowest-level skeletons in this Plague Land. He was placed on the other side of the line to lead the team.

"The best way to kill them is to cut off their heads, and if you just cut off your hands or feet, it will only reduce their combat ability. ”

"All men ready to fight. Once a skeleton joins the fray, get ready for the rainstorm. The silver phoenix had a grim face, and his eyes were staring ahead.

Ryan still had Feige hanging on his body, and he followed the silver phoenix's gaze. Ryan swore he would never forget the scene in front of him for the rest of his life, and through the miasma was a secret mass of numb skeletons, slow moving, but ...... in number.

"Come down. Ryan said.

"What's wrong. Feige was still hanging on to Ryan and wouldn't come down.

"We've got thousands of skeletons behind our butts. "Kara Dao.

"What. Fitch was startled and finally jumped off Ryan.

"With so many skeletons, why didn't there be any warning before?" Feige asked.

"I'm afraid that from the very beginning, these skeletons were hidden underground. Silver Phoenix walked over to Ryan's side and said.

"It's imperative to get out of the woods as quickly as possible, where the terrain is crowded and where the Lich is in ambush in the Giant Shirt Tree. If the skeletons surround us, and the lich continues to unleash fireballs on us, I am afraid that the weaker mercenaries will suffer heavy casualties. Ryan said.

"What Lord Ryan said is very true. ”

Yinhuang said: "It seems that I have to go to Mr. Jin to rendezvous, find a way to break off, and let the others quickly rush out of the woods first." Mr. Jack is clearing the way ahead. I'll leave it to the other captains. ”

At this time, the woods were full of fires. It's caused by the Lich's fireball technique, and with these flames, you don't have to worry about miasma anymore.

"I'll go too. Ryan said.

"Brother Mo Yan, I have to trouble you and your brothers to take care of my two partners. Please escort them out of the woods safely. ”

"Where is Engong, as long as I, Mo Yan, don't die, I will definitely escort them out of the forest safely. The Mo Yan berserker swung his big axe and said resolutely.

"I'll go too, Ryan. Kara looked worried, "As an elven archer, I can shoot those lichs as long as I can get within a hundred meters of them." ”

Ryan looked at Kara and nodded hesitantly. It's not once or twice that Kara has followed Ryan to death. It's not bad this time.

"That Feiqi ........ ”

"Alas, needless to say, understood. I must be careful to protect myself. Don't worry, I won't die until the people around me die. Feiqi said in a sudden relaxed tone.

It's just that when these words were heard in the ears of Mo Yan and the others, a black line couldn't help but appear on their foreheads.

"Let's go. Silver Phoenix took the lead and ran towards the end of the line.

At the end of the team, a large number of skeletons were already besieging them. When Ryan and the others arrived, Kim Puwonka was leading a dozen or so high-ranking warriors to retreat out of the woods while resisting the skeletons' advance, while the others were trying to break out of the woods. If everyone participates in the battle, I am afraid that they will all die of exhaustion in the woods. Although these skeletons can't withstand the second knife in front of the skilled high-level warriors, the tigers can't stand the wolves, and they are still wolves that don't hurt. And there's the Lich staring at the trees.

Ryan shielded Kara behind him and slammed his sword out, scattering a lunging skeleton that swooped down.

"Why are you here?" said without much to say Kim Puwangka as he saw Ryan Silver Phoenix join the battle.

"I was afraid that there would not be enough people, so I came to help. "Yinhuang Road.

"Fool around, go quickly, don't get in the way. "Kim Puwangkadao.

At this moment, I saw a light purple thunder chain in the sky rushing down from one direction, and instantly fell on a middle-level swordsman, the middle-level swordsman screamed with a pull of the thunder chain, and the middle-level swordsman was stiffly pulled out of the crowd and fell into the pile of skeletons not far away, and the result was naturally self-evident.

"What is this?"

"This is a second-level magic - [Palm Thunder]. "Kim Puwangkadao.

If our esteemed magician Fitch Alex were here at this time, he would have been surprised to find that he was not even a lich.

[Palm Thunder] is different from [Olympiad Missile], although they both belong to the second level of magic, but the former's control of the caster's elements is not the same.

"Are these lichs even second-level magic?" said Silverphoenix in surprise.

"No, it's supposed to be only one lich capable of unleashing second-tier magic. Otherwise, the frequency of this [palm thunder] would not have been so low. It takes about a quarter of an hour to show up once. "Kim Puwangkadao.

"Looks like these lichs are the big problem. Ryan said.

"Leave these lichs to me. The silver phoenix put his hands together, and suddenly a little silver light converged from the palm of the silver phoenix, and the silver light became stronger and stronger, and then swayed down from the palm and landed on the ground centered on the silver phoenix, gathering a silver-white contract magic circle.

"In my name, obey my call! Come out, Phantom Beast, the Ice Wolf. "A snow wolf as tall as an adult man appeared from the contract circle and happened to appear under the crotch of the silver phoenix. Phantom beasts or spirit beasts can appear anywhere in the contract circle, depending on the caster's mind. And the size of the circle directly represents the strength of the summon. The diameter of the contract circle that appeared when the silver phoenix summoned the ice field demon wolf was only about two meters in diameter, but it was not much larger than that of an ordinary adult spirit beast.

"Your Ice Wolf is still in the growth stage. Kim Puwanka said, glancing.

"Yes, Xiaoyin is only three years old, and there are still two years before he can enter the long maturity period. "Beasts that can become spirit beasts have a longer life cycle than ordinary beasts, and among them, phantom beasts are even more so. It is said that phantom beasts mature longer than humans. And spirit beasts are often only twenty or thirty years old, which is also one of the important reasons why the value of phantom beasts far exceeds that of spirit beasts.

"At only three years old, your body size is far beyond that of an ordinary snow wolf, and your Ice Domain Demon Wolf potential is limitless. If it was Jin Puwangka, who was a quasi-great sword master, his tone couldn't help but reveal envy. "Sure enough, the hero is a teenager, and in less than 10 years, there must be a place for you as a little brother on this pan-continent [Battle Spirit List]. ”

Mr. Kim was wrong. I'll go back as soon as I go. Silver Phoenix clamped his legs under his crotch, pulled out the knight's spear and shield hanging on the side of the demon wolf, and rushed towards the group of skeletons.

"Level 1 Magic [Ice Pick Technique]" Yinhuang sighed in a low voice, only to see the front hooves of the demon wolf under his crotch leap high, and the green light on the hooves flashed, which was the convergence of magical elements representing the ice system.

After a series of crisp sounds of "Ding ---", the front of the silver phoenix was actually opened by an ice pick, and dozens of skeletons were directly poked by the ice pick. However, the path carved out by the icicle was not connected to the ground, but extended upwards, connecting to the trunk of a giant shirt tree not far away. The demon wolf under the Silver Phoenix Seat jumped lightly and ran directly on the ice pick, disappearing all the way up the trunk of the giant shirt tree.

"Let's get out of the woods as quickly as possible. Kim, Puwangka, continued to fend off the skeleton as she looked at the vanished Silver Phoenix Dao.

"Is he in danger alone?" Ryan couldn't help but be a little worried. After all, it is unknown how many lichs there are in the trees.

"Don't worry. Although the lich can do magic, the real wisdom is not high, and the silver phoenix has the cooperation of the phantom beast, and if it can't be killed, it's always no problem to run. ”

Ryan didn't hesitate any longer, and withdrew step by step with Kim's footsteps.
