Chapter 0680: The Invisible Enemy
The forest is deep and the ancient trees are towering.
Inside the dense forest, the sky is cut into locks by tall tree branches.
Dappled spots of light scatter down from the sky, flickering and flickering as the leaves move. With endless green forests as far as the eye can see, from low shrubs to towering giant trees, it is like a paradise for plants and a treasure trove of nature.
Iron oak, fir, cedar, spruce and other tall trees are straight upwards, and the majestic posture is breathtaking. And all kinds of shrubs and vines under their feet, which cannot be named, are densely wrapped around the entire woodland gap, and the wind is impermeable.
Walking in such a wild and simple primeval forest, it will be difficult for any outsider to walk an inch.
But at this moment, there are two strange teams chasing and fighting fiercely in this magical forest......
It was Mary's army of vampires who fled ahead.
Although this team is called the Legion, the total number of people is only more than 200, and the number of vampires who can be called elite is only thirty.
However, it is such a group of 'rabble' who can transform into blood-colored bats the size of a palm, squeaking and flying between the branches and vines, frantically avoiding the fierce pursuit of the group behind them.
And behind the vampire legion were only a dozen strange and ferocious strange birds.
Most of them are terrifying giant eagles with golden hooks and iron wings, which stand upright and are more than 2 meters tall and have a wingspan of 4 meters wide. The rest are some strange flying snakes with wings on their backs, and dazzling thunder lights roll on their bodies as they fly.
As large flying birds of prey, their bodies are not suitable for such fast shuttle flight in the dense forest. But they look strangely at the jungle, sometimes spreading their wings and soaring in the air, sometimes folding their wings and leaping among the dense branches and leaves.
Every time their green pupils locked onto a blood-colored bat that fluttered its wings, it was immediately shot away with a terrifying wind blade or thunder*. With the strength of a vampire token, it's hard to dodge this instantaneous ability spell!
Therefore, after chasing all the way, many blood-colored bats were hit by volleys and disappeared.
And the several counterattacks organized by the blood-colored bat in a hurry obviously could not hurt the pursuers in the slightest. Before the bats could get close to those guys, they were killed by the rolling thunder.
As vampire tokens with only the strength of high-level apprentices, their bodies lacking magic resistance are almost as thin as paper to elite druids. As for the ability to suck blood and regenerate, there is no room to play in the face of the dense thunderstorm.
The only ones who can compete with these pursuers are those blood knights and blood elves, and even those Tier 1 vampires can hardly guarantee their safety.
However, under the deterrence of the huge thunder peng above her head, Mary hesitated again and again, but she still did not dare to send an elite team to behead the pursuers behind her.
In this way, the two sides chased each other through the dense forest quickly, and ran out nearly 200 miles in one day. And at this time, the power of the vampire's special physique gradually came into play.
The vampires still have their strength left, but the druid squad is exhausted!
Eventually, the pursuers were thrown away, and the vampires squeaked and fled into the depths of the forest.
After another two hours of flying through the woods, the vampire legion came to a halt near a low cliff when the druids were thrown out of sight.
Although the vampires have a special physique, the non-stop consumption throughout the day still makes the blood energy stored in their bodies slip to an extremely low level.
By this time, night had already fallen, and the entire forest was plunged into a great darkness.
After camping here, a large group of vampires scattered into the surrounding forest in search of blood food, while Mary and a group of men gathered around and silently discussed what to do for the next few days.
Obviously, the surroundings of Tianshui City will never dare to set foot in it again!
Their reckless behavior some time ago had obviously completely angered the elven upper echelons. The fact that these elite elven legions were able to stop them near the west coast was obviously not an accident, but a premeditated encirclement and suppression operation by the other side.
Mary called out a few blood elves, and after careful questioning, there was a rough outline.
In the regular elven legion, the elven commander usually has the figure of the elven prophet at his side. In addition to being knowledgeable and familiar with the topography and flora and fauna of the entire Jialan Continent, they also have the identity of prophets.
Prophet ...... This is undoubtedly the most difficult of all spellcasters, and the one that Mary is the least willing to face!
As a Tier 2 vampire wizard, she led a group of improvised 'rabble' to dare to slaughter in the Elven Kingdom's sphere of influence, relying on the team's small agility and stealth shape. Those elven cities and teams that are too powerful, she won't even touch them.
And what she chose to deal with was the delicious blood food that could be easily swallowed after careful selection.
But once they are entangled by the elven prophets, under the guidance of 'them', the vampires' previous advantages will no longer exist. If surrounded on all sides by a large group of elves, the team that Mary had worked so hard to pull up would disappear in an instant.
Even if it's not good, even Mary, a Rank 2 vampire wizard, may not be able to get out of it!
While Mary and the others were distraught and whispering, the angry and urgent roars of vampires suddenly rang out from the jungle in the distance.
"What's going on? What's going on there?"
Mary suddenly stood up, her scarlet blood pupils flickering in the darkness.
At that moment just now, in her spiritual perception, four more spiritual nodes had broken off their connection with her origin, and it seemed that they had been killed by someone.
There was a sudden buzz in the dense forest in the distance, and dozens of blood-colored bats swarmed out of it, squeaking and circling rapidly, as if they were avoiding something.
Just as Mary was puzzled, a continuous bowstring exploded, and strange crossbow arrows came out of the dense forest, stabbing more than a dozen vampire bats into the ancient tree.
"It's an elf!"
Almost instantly, Mary and the others understood who the enemy was.
Although she was surprised that the elves were able to catch up with them so quickly, Mary still rushed into the dense forest with this group of second-order men.
The Enchanted Forest is still so mysterious at night.
The Magic Forest is dark during the day, but at night the Magic Forest glows faintly due to the many shimmering mosses and magical plants.
This glimmer of light is still not enough for ordinary people to illuminate, but for Mary and others, it is enough for them to see normally like the day!
In the vast and deep magical forest, everything is so quiet and deep, everything is so peaceful and quiet.
Looking around, Mary couldn't help but frown slightly.
What about the enemy? Where is the enemy?
In her blood-red vision, there was no living creature to be seen, let alone those elven archers.
Those arrows were shot from here just now, how could they escape so quickly......
Just as Mary was thinking in surprise, the wind suddenly broke through the shadows of the Magic Forest, and a large rain of accurate and ruthless arrows shot out, forcing them all into it.
Several blood elves and the old fox Winliel were inexperienced, and they couldn't help but let out a low muffled grunt as the crossbow bolts entered their bodies. The three Blood Knights drew their swords and slashed most of their crossbow arrows. Occasionally, a few sticks of ejaculation entered the body, and they all endured it without changing their faces.
Mary, on the other hand, stretched out her fingernails, covered with a delicate hand stained with bright daffodil juice, and flicked her fingers into the air with all the crossbow arrows that were fired at her. Its weight-lifting posture is shocking to those guys in the shadows.
The light and shadow float, and the body is shaky.
The place where the arrow shot only flickered slightly, and the figures that were still vivid in their eyes just now disappeared again.
The three Blood Knights rushed there with their swords wielding, chopping through countless rose branches and bush thorns, but strangely did not find the enemy.
Invisible enemies?
Just as they were inexplicably surprised, dozens of crossbow arrows shot out again from an extremely close distance.
This time they were not so lucky to be able to carry their swords to block, and in an instant they were shot into porcupines by a dense barrage of crossbow arrows.
Mary's eyes froze.
This time, she could see clearly that the crossbow arrows were almost shooting against the bodies of the three blood knights. It's as if they're standing surrounded by a group of invisible elves, and they're blind to it!
The bolts are made of stainless steel, and are etched with some elaborate magic patterns, which seem to have two effects: 'Piercing' and 'Wind Wings'. The former is meant to be able to kill and injure individuals who wear heavy armor or have hard skin, while the latter is purely to silence the sound of the wind breaking when the arrows fly.
Therefore, the crossbow arrows nailed into the bodies of the three blood knights were all enchanted arrows.
And the guy who can afford to use such an expensive enchanted arrow obviously can't be an ordinary person!
Even with seven or eight crossbow arrows running through their bodies, the three blood knights were still wielding their long swords vigorously, and huge blood-colored sword qi was stirred out from the blades, chopping the surrounding ancient trees and shrubs into pieces, and breaking the branches of the trees.
And in the midst of this great chaos, an ancient tree that seemed to be possessed by a slender figure was cut off, and one leaped down from the fallen trunk, rolled on the ground a few times, and then disappeared into the shadow of another tree.
With a flick of a finger, Mary had silently appeared in the place where the other party had disappeared, her scarlet blood pupils flashing with a strange light and looking around.
And in the shadows behind her, a dull dagger poked out of the shadows and stabbed Mary in the back of the head silently.
The moonlight cast a mottled shadow through the lush foliage branches, just the right amount to obscure the magical aura at the dagger's blade.
......
It wasn't until the moment when the dagger was about to touch the skin that the tip of the dagger suddenly exploded with power.
A surging aura of energy erupted......
