Chapter 44: The Fisherman and the Sandpiper Mussel
In the cold and biting wasteland, the blood of every militia is burning.
The tragic fate of the musk people made every Beamon's heart tremble.
The Greens were originally swordsmen, but after entering the wasteland, the lord suddenly remembered that their race had the ability to stealth like a wind, and temporarily demoted them to scout spearheads, and took on the task of searching for them with the mastiffs.
Bellamy, the mastiff, easily followed the footsteps and scents left by humans to find the exact direction of humans.
At night, the eyesight of the Doug mastiff can also rank among the top five among the all-Bimeng orcs, that is, looking at the whole continent, in addition to the elves, there are too many who can boast of surpassing the mastiff in night vision.
After all, for perverts like the Night Elves, the night is their day.
Human eyesight is almost indistinguishable from that of a blind man at night compared to that of a Doug mastiff.
Liu Zhenzhen, a human being, is an exception, his body structure has been transformed a lot since he ate the dragon egg, although it is not as good as the elf, but compared with the mastiff, even if there is a difference, it is very small.
The faint smell of medicine on the musk people left the most important clues for the mastiff to track, and after more than two hours of rapid marching, the Fei Leng Cui militia found the human camp.
The murderous Fei Leng Cui militia stopped in front of a barren hill, and on the other side of the barren hill, two miles away, was the human camp.
Although human beings are notoriously cautious in their defensive hearts, Liu Zhenzhen's cunning is not in vain.
The combat effectiveness of two hundred professional mercenaries is not simple, and Liu Zhenzhen is not stupid enough to rush forward, facing the military crossbow arrows of the opposing rangers, and showing off his bravery.
All the woolly elephants were instructed by the mammoth Hercules to crawl behind a barren hill to avoid revealing their huge figures.
Wearing a ring of grass on his head, Liu Zhenzhen climbed over the mound-like mound with the mantis monks, and secretly approached the human camp, taking a closer look at the figures of these human mercenaries.
The Occult Skills of the Greens Monks are instinctive, with membrane-like wings on their backs that represent the clan emblem, allowing them to glide as they move forward, and occasionally float on the ground when they use their hands and feet together.
To their great admiration, the lord's stealth skills were also excellent, and the way he snaked his way like a snake was also unheard of.
Approaching the eighty-yard radius of the human camp, Liu Zhenzhen found a lot of small traps and traps, needless to say, these traps must be the masterpieces of thieves among human mercenaries.
Out of caution, Liu Zhenzhen did not dare to dismantle these traps without authorization, and also stopped advancing, leaning against the wild grass to secretly look at this human camp.
The human camps were brightly lit, and the cold air of the wasteland could not penetrate them.
The slave traders chose to camp in a place where they were more experienced, and most of the barren grasses in the Danube wilderness were one person high, and they chose an empty and vast plain with barren hills on their backs to camp on their backs, and the barren grass here did not have the one-man tall sickle-toothed horsetail amaranth, but were all meadows formed by withered yellow dandelions and alfalfa.
A shallow stream flowed through the middle of the human camp.
Standard by the mountains and rivers.
Except for a barren hill on the south side, the other three directions are full of these flat meadows within three to five miles, and if something happens, the mercenaries can immediately mount their horses and use their best knights to dash and disperse any invading enemy, or they can form a battle formation in wagons and play a war of attrition by giving full play to their well-equipped strengths.
Moreover, there was also a bonfire burning on the top of the barren hill behind the human camp, and several sentries could be clearly seen hovering over it, taking in everything on the other side.
A large group of mercenaries and merchants sat in a circle, each around their own campfire, with trucks outside, and coffee and food boiling on the roaring bonfire in front of them, talking and laughing loudly.
The mercenary's war horse knew at a glance that it was well-trained, and the reins were thrown on the ground, allowing these war horses to nibble freely on alfalfa grass, and occasionally a war horse went away, and immediately a mercenary would put his finger in his mouth and whistle loudly, and the war horse would immediately run back.
From time to time, the crowd gathered around the campfire was heard with the sound of loud exhortations to drink, the crackling of wood as it burns, the unbridled laughter of women, and the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground.
In the place where Liu Zhenzhen and the mantis monks were opposite, there was a group of mercenaries practicing martial arts.
These mercenaries are playing fencing, they use more elegant stabbing swords, completely Flannish style, and the stabbing sword that Liu Zhenzhen used to make the handle of the instrument is different, the mercenary's stabbing sword is more soft.
Several mercenaries surrounded a bearded mercenary, and the besieged mercenary was clearly a brilliant swordsman, fighting with one hand on his waist and calmly walking, occasionally breaking the belt of an opponent's trousers with the blade of his sword, causing a burst of wild laughter.
After a while, several opponents were defeated in his swift swordsmanship, and the onlookers were all applauding.
A plump and bewitching-looking Bepsie woman was pushed into his arms, which looked like a prize.
The bearded mercenary played his swordsmanship with a trick, his thin stabbing sword as fast as lightning, pulling a "Z" shaped lightning bolt pattern on the chest of a Bepsy woman, and with a scream, the woman's white chest was exposed.
There was a whistling around, and Liu Zhenzhen almost couldn't help whistling along.
Human martial arts really have their own set, and compared to the rough and unrestrained martial arts of Beamon, human beings focus more on skills. These are just some ordinary mercenaries, the most outstanding swordsmen and brave men in the human race, as well as the mythical dragon knights, must be more outstanding in martial arts. Liu Zhenzhen secretly admired in his heart.
The bearded mercenary laughed wildly and picked up the Bepsy woman in the puffy skirt, slipped behind a tent, and after three strokes, the mercenary lifted the Bepsy woman's fat skirt, and the Bepsy woman lay on top of the wine barrel, the skirt reached her waist, and Bai Huahua's ass pouted Lao Gao.
There was a faint sound of water splashing.
This bearded mercenary is a bit of a good one, and when he was **, the chain mail and weapons on his body never left his body.
Liu Zhenzhen and the praying mantis monks happened to be on the side of the pair of wild mandarin ducks, swallowing saliva together.
The firelight jumps, and the bewitching face of the Bepsie woman is also jumping with excitement and joy, and the loud and debauched gasp is like a in heat.
"The swordsmanship is okay, but it's still a rabble." After watching this living spring palace, Liu Zhenzhen whispered to the four mantis monks seriously.
"That's it." The monks nodded together.
The fog grew thicker, and the sound of human mercenaries playing the harmonica could be heard in the moonlit wasteland.
The musk slaves sat unkempt in the wagons with heavy chains, facing west, and beside them a few mercenaries armed with military crossbows were munching on bread and occasionally kicking them with leather boots for amusement.
Liu Zhenzhen silently remembered the range of troops, gestured to the mantis monks, and returned to the back of the barren hill where the brigade of men and horses was ambushed.
"This mercenary force is more than three times as large as ours, but most of them are vulnerable, and again, I don't need prisoners! Corina! Put down the blindfold on the weevil! Liu Zhenzhen commanded carefully.
Due to elephants' natural fear of fire, all woolly war elephants have rattan armor with a blanket that covers their eyes, and for war elephants, as long as they have a mammoth Hercules commanding them, they don't need eyes to know which direction to charge.
"Got it!" Corina agreed with a thump.
"The meadows here are suitable for charging, human cavalry can't play war elephants, I looked, they have some military crossbows in them, but the number is not very many, this weapon is very expensive, fortunately we wore rattan armor this time! In order to prevent the other party from using rockets, is it up to Miss Avril, our esteemed great magician of the water system, to summon a large rainstorm spell first? Liu Zhenzhen took the dense array handed over by Goode and smiled at the mermaid.
Avril showed two small dimples, grinned and took out a few delicate magic crystals and a bamboo tube to show off proudly.
These magic crystals were given to her by the mammoth Hercules patting her on the back, although they are only the crystal nuclei of a few ice and snow martens, there is still a big distance compared to Liu Zhenzhen's collection, but they are also magic crystals, Avril has been working very hard these days, and they are full of magic power, and these magic crystals are used together, which is enough to fill up all her magic power.
Even more exaggerated is the bamboo tube.
Because all the best magic crystals were inlaid on Helen's two huge war drums, Avril almost made a joke last time against the bear goblin bandits, which made Liu Zhenzhen feel a little indebted to Avril in his heart, and after the "Elemental Spring" was secretly drunk by the little piglet last time, there was still a little bit left, and Liu Zhenzhen gave all the "Elemental Spring" to Avril as compensation.
This kind of elemental fountain that can instantly replenish all the magic power of the song with one drop, plus a few magic crystals full of energy, the current Avril is simply a person who can top countless of them before.
Originally, this water magician was not very conspicuous, but with the powerful magic power as the backing, Avril now has transformed into a king of Fei Leng Cui's heads-up.
Except for Liu Zhenzhen, who is immune to water-based magic, who can face a magician whose magic power is inexhaustible? If nothing else, just use the lowest-level water bomb to smash you to death.
It's a pity that Avril's magic cultivation has not yet reached a certain level, otherwise as long as a large forbidden spell magic smashes into the human camp today, there is no need for the militia team to do it.
The reason why Liu Zhenzhen insisted on using the rattan armor despite public opinion at the beginning is that he has an outstanding water magician, and the vine armor is indeed afraid of fire, but what if it rains?
"Rainstorm Technique" This kind of water magic is a more troublesome chicken magic, except for some very few kind-hearted magicians who practice this kind of magic in order to fight disasters in famine years, few other magicians on the Aegean continent practice this kind of partial magic, this magic can only summon large rainstorms, come and go quickly, not to mention the cost of magic, and the lethality is almost zero. But the mermaids in the sea are different, the power of the storm is exactly what the rainstorm needs to be used as a trigger, and it is by relying on this "rainstorm technique" that the mermaid can cause waves and huge waves, and completely destroy the merchant ships walking on the sea.
However, there is an essential difference between the sea and the land.
There is an abundance of water elements in the sea that can be sensed, and casting the "Rainstorm Technique" will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, but casting this magic on the land wasteland is two different things after all, plus it is only separated from humans by a barren hill and half a mile, and Avril has to control the volume of her magic scale, so the time for chanting the spell is also extraordinarily long.
Among the Emerald militia, there are a few who have not yet seen the occult magic, especially the mammoth and the hippopotamus, and they are grinning like a basin.
Avril's hair danced wildly in the cold wind, and the half-hidden Champa Moon was immediately blocked by a large cloud of clouds, and a muffled thunderous sound gradually came out of the clouds.
A few militiamen who had never seen the world all watched stupidly as the dark clouds in the sky slowly moved towards the human camp, and the hippopotamus poet, although he had described what magic was like countless times when he wrote his poems, had to see it with his own eyes to realize how pale the magic he described in his poems was.
Magic is a way to change the form of nature, and the larger the magic, the more it can make people feel that they are facing a magician as if they were facing nature, and they can feel powerless and small.
The humans in the camp also saw the condensed dark clouds and the sound of muffled thunder, and one by one they immediately stopped laughing and began to strengthen the tent to prevent strong winds.
Occasionally, there was also the sound of cursing, probably because they felt that the rain was very unpleasant for them at this time.
There was not even the sound of thunder, and the raindrops of beans fell as soon as they were spoken, and they hit the middle of the human camp intensively, and the more and more urgent, the bonfire was poured by the rain and snorted until it was hot, and it was soon extinguished, and the kettle on the shelf was clanged by the rain.
Even a few sentinels standing on the high barren hills had come down to fetch felt cloths, and it was already winter, and it was no joke that such a night, with heavy frost and dew, and heavy rain, was poured by rain.
Time's up.
The mammoth mammoth half-kneeling on the ground all straightened up under the urging of the mammoth wrestlers, Liu Zhenzhen raised his mace, stood on the barren hill, and was about to sing the mad war song to charge, when an unexpected discovery made him shut up.
Just as the sentry left his post to get the felt cloth, a large group of black figures suddenly rushed out from the barren hill against which the human camp rested, waving weapons in their hands, and without a sound, like a quiet spring, suddenly rushed from the barren hill to the human camp.
The pouring rain extinguished the bonfires in the human camp, and the champas in the sky were tightly covered by dark clouds.
These sneak attackers stained Avril with light, and the heavy rain made the human camp pitch black, and their sneak attack caused great damage to the humans in one fell swoop.
There were too many of these sneak attackers, and a large number of figures rushed over from the other side of the barren hill, Liu Zhenzhen couldn't understand that those human sentinels just now were eating? Isn't it nonsense that so many sneak attackers can quickly rush through the barren hills, they must have been hidden under the barren hills for a long time, and they can let such a large army hide under their noses and rush over?
The human mercenaries were at an absolute disadvantage in the darkness, and the sudden blows and the darkness of the surroundings left them at a loss for an effective counterattack, and the proud ranger cavalry was now unable to find their horses, or even figure out who was attacking them.
The mercenaries with outstanding martial arts skills were in a state of confusion, screaming and snorting one after another.
After all, it is the strongest race on the continent, and the priests carried by the mercenaries immediately played an unusual role, Liu Zhenzhen saw four white rays of light accompanied by clear singing, which immediately shone in the middle of the human camp, although the miserable white light was faint, but in the dark night, it was so conspicuous and bright.
It's actually the "Holy Light Healing Technique"! Several priests waved the cross in their hands, and a peaceful white circle of light filled their bodies, at such a moment, it was completely meaningless for human mercenaries to need healing, the most important thing was that the holy light attached to the "Holy Light Healing" could dispel the darkness, and that was fine.
Using the Holy Light Healing Technique as illumination, although it was a bit extravagant, the effect was immediately apparent. The mercenaries skillfully protected the priest, some whistled, and while the horses galloped by, they leaped up with agility, grabbed the reins, and removed the meteor hammer hanging from the saddle.
Gradually, a large number of mercenaries retreated together, and the wave of attacks that took advantage of the darkness just now caused these mercenaries to lose at least thirty to forty people.
A large number of sneak attackers surrounded them.
Liu Zhenzhen and the mastiffs stood on the barren hill and watched with relish, only the remaining militiamen were miserable, and they looked at it in a daze, just a little white light and a cloud of black shadows.
These sneak attackers poured out from all over the mountains, and there were thousands of them.
The sneak attackers at the front were covered in green skin, with ears as sharp as leaves and slender limbs, dressed like straw curtains, wielding wooden spears in their hands, and rushing behind were some white-skinned monsters, with tall and strong bodies, some with two heads, some with a head, covered in strange white scales, each wielding huge sticks, which shimmered with reflections that only crystals can have.
Several strange creatures with feathers and animal bones around their necks, looking like skeletons, were still chanting strange spells, and the wooden quinoa staff in their hands swept out a star-like red band of light, and every sneak attacker swept by the band of light burst out of red light.
"it! Bloodlust! Liu Zhenzhen was taken aback.
"Bloodthirsty" is also found in the Beamon War Song, this kind of war song is also a high-level war song of the scepter sacrifice level, this is a product derived from the situation that the Beamon witch doctor's medical technology is seriously inadequate, bloodlust can make the dying warrior burst out of the last life force, and enter the battle in the form of a suicide attack, this war song can also make the uninjured warrior enter a semi-mad state, but because of the relationship between the "mad war song", the use rate of this war song has not been high.
This group of strange sneak attackers can also use "bloodthirsty techniques", which has to make Liu Zhenzhen feel strange, and their strange shapes also make Liu Zhenzhen unable to figure out their identities, fortunately, Helen has recently successfully learned the "Ronon Opera" ---- "Song of Unknown Item Identification", Xiao Nizi is also well-behaved, knowing that Liu Zhenzhen has always been jealous of her academic success, and helped Liu Zhenzhen seal a "Ronon Opera" in the special instrument of Liu Daguanren--- the Stegosaurus Crystal String.
Only a top-level crystal nucleus like the Hell Black Dragon Demon Crystal can seal the war song, Lao Liu suddenly remembered that he still had this sealed "Song of Unknown Item Identification", and hurriedly used the first syllable of the psychic war song to summon this sealed war song.
A dazzling aura flashed in Liu Zhenzhen's eyes.
Whether Liu Zhenzhen is a human being or Beamon, this is not something I want to deliberately express.
As for the drag play
