Chapter 840: Assassin
Looking at Ling Ge who had passed out, Sedum frowned, handed Ling Ge to a soldier who came back with him, turned his head and asked the person who looked like a squad leader, "What about the commander of your Lin Ba Division?" ”
The squad leader peeked at Sedum with some awe, then lowered his head and said very respectfully, "Commander Lin Bashi took us to patrol near the mine in the west today, and escorted a batch of ores back to Wucheng along the way, but somehow, a large number of demonic beasts suddenly appeared halfway, and even a high-level beast king appeared. At the end of the day, there was fear in his voice.
"High-level Beastmaster!?" Sedum repeated the words of the team leader with a puzzled face, such a remote place in the northwest, this kind of demonic beast equivalent to a sixth-level powerhouse is indeed too rare.
Sedum glanced at Yuelu beside him, and saw that Yuelu nodded slightly, Sedum instantly picked up the team leader, and Yuelu picked up Jingchen, and the two rose into the air.
"Let's go, take me to Lin Ba'na. Before the squad leader could exclaim, his feet were off the ground, but fortunately, his years of battlefield life made his reaction not sluggish.
I quickly got used to it and pointed out the direction for a few people.
After a short time, the four of them came to this not too big forest, and looking around, the trees were a little sparse, not like the primeval forest.
I saw that on both sides of a road leading to the mountain, there were corpses that killed demonic beasts everywhere, and human remains that were bitten to pieces, the bloody scene made Sedum and Yuelu frown, Yuelu slowly raised her right hand, blocking Jingchen's eyes.
Seeing that his mother blocked his eyes with his hand, Jingchen turned his head to look at his mother, raised his left hand to grab his mother's right hand, Yuelu looked down at Jingchen, only to see a trace of firmness in Jingchen's eyes, and his left hand forcefully moved away from his mother's hand.
Sedum didn't see this episode between his son and his wife, his eyes were already blood-red when he fell from the sky, and the blood-colored two-handed giant axe was already in his hand.
A trace of red mist like blood mist rose around Sedum's body, and he was already very burly, but his figure was actually a little stronger, and at this moment he was at least two meters tall.
Sedum put the squad leader aside, and a round of blood-colored axes rushed into the group of demonic beasts, although he did not find the high-level beast king in the squad leader's mouth, but in his perception, there were already several middle-level and low-level beast kings, and the sense of ominousness in his heart became more and more intense.
As soon as Sedum entered the herd of beasts, it caused a bloody storm, whether it was a low-level demonic beast, or the low-level and middle-level beast kings, none of them were his enemies, and for a while, all the wails of the demonic beasts before their death echoed within a radius of several miles.
Suddenly, a passionate battle song sounded, and a pale golden symbol lit up on the heads of all Sedum and all soldiers, the symbol was shining with golden light but it was not complicated, but it disappeared in a flash on everyone's heads, and at the moment when the symbol disappeared, the original fatigue on everyone's faces was also swept away, and the movement was not as slow as just now.
With such a wide range of singing skills, Yuelu's snow-white forehead was also slightly sweaty.
"Mom, was that a singer's skill just now?"
"The skill just now is called "Vitality Battle Song", although it is only a third-level war song, it is a more commonly used war song, which can restore the physical strength of the recipient. Yuelu smiled slightly.
Of course, the benefits of "Vitality Battle Song" are not limited to what Yuelu said, this is a war song that often appears on the battlefield, first of all, it is naturally because it only belongs to the third-level war song, although the effect is very good, but after all, it is only an entry-level skill, although there will be a threshold when each level of cultivation breaks through, but the threshold of the third level to break through to the fourth level, and the threshold of the sixth level to break through to the seventh level is extremely strong, and the breakthrough after the seventh level is not just something that can be achieved by hard work, this three-level war song is just suitable for most ordinary singers in the army.
With the addition of Sedum, the pressure on the soldiers was significantly reduced, and the war song of the moon dew was restored, and the situation that was originally only parrying was also alleviated.
Seeing that the group of demonic beasts had collapsed, Sedum dragged a man who looked like an officer and asked, "Where is Lin Ba?"
When the man heard Sedum's words, he was stunned at first, and his legs were weak in an instant, and he knelt in front of Sedum, "Benefactor, please save the division leader, the division commander He just led the high-level beast king over there alone, please ......"
Hearing the officer's words, Sedum only felt dizzy, and with a stomp of his feet, he rose up in an instant, and the wind blew the officer's clothes as if they had been soaked in blood, and the officer still knelt there, not moving.
Seeing Sedum leaving, Yuelu also picked up Jingchen and chased after him.
At this moment, Sedum, who was walking through the sky, silently said in his heart, "Lin Ba, my good brother, you must not have anything to do." ”
Sedum flew along the passage that had been knocked out by the demonic beast and covered with broken branches and trees, all the way to the depths of the forest.
Suddenly, a giant beast with dark black skin appeared on the edge of a small lake not far away, and in front of it, a knight raised the tower shield with difficulty, but the edge of the tower shield was broken.
The monster was about three meters tall, and its huge body had a layer of armor pieces that looked quite strong, each piece of armor was the size of a palm, and the four were a little short like a huge lizard, with a long tail swinging one after another, only to see that the scales on the monster's body were incomplete, and the original black scales were also stained red with blood, and the triangular head was shining with two red rays, and at this moment there was a hint of mockery in his eyes staring at the human knight in front of him.
It is not difficult to find the fierceness of this battle from the fallen trees around, the confrontation did not last long, only to see that the monster pounced, and came to the knight in an instant, the knight lifted the tower shield with some difficulty, but was knocked out by the monster along with the tower shield, and a trace of banter flashed in the eyes of the monster.
The beast roared twice at the knight, as if shouting for him to stand up, but unfortunately, the knight couldn't even straighten up after several attempts.
Seeing that the human was at the end of its power, but it had also paid a lot of price in this battle, it decided to play with the human and let him die in the most painful way possible, and then eat him to punish him for the crime he had committed against him.
In the impact just now, Lin Ba clearly heard the sound of his ribs shattering, and a mouthful of blood water spurted out along with his internal organs, and at this moment, his eyes had begun to blur, and even the appearance of the demonic beast was a little unclear.
There was a wry smile in his heart, but at this moment Lin Ba thought of his subordinates, "I don't know how they are now", thinking of this, Lin Ba couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, today he was too careless, I didn't expect that there would be so many demonic beasts in this northwest place, and the level is still so high, it is nothing to throw it here, if you take the lives of those good brothers, you will not have the face to see those brothers even if you go to Hades.
Seeing that the monster pounced again, Lin Ba slowly closed his eyes, and the scenes of this life flashed in front of his eyes, on the battlefield of that year, those comrades-in-arms who were crawling and rolling, at this moment, they all remembered one by one, he and Sedum met in a battle against the beast tide of the Warcraft Mountain Range, they were still very young at that time, there were twenty-two good brothers in their squad that year, Sedum was the captain, he was the vice captain.
In that beast tide that lasted for more than a year, Sedum, who was only the squad leader, was finally promoted to the commander of the division, and he was also promoted to the deputy division commander, but only he and Sedum were left among the twenty-two people at the beginning, and the rest of the people stayed in the Warcraft Mountain Range forever, for the peace of the Holy Spirit Empire, for their families to live a quiet life, and for more people to live a life that was not ravaged by Warcraft, they used their young lives to defend their dignity as soldiers.
At this moment, Lin Ba recalled the scenes of his brothers leaving, and sighed in his heart, it is my turn today, and I can finally go to reunite with you, my brothers.
"Boom!"
Lin Ba had just thought of this, only to hear a loud noise, which shook his brain for a while.
Trying to open his eyes, "Big... Brother..."Seeing that familiar back, Lin Ba couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, but as soon as he opened his mouth, there was another cough, and a few mouthfuls of blood spurted out.
Yuelu put down Jingchen and helped Lin Ba who was lying on the ground, "It's okay, don't talk yet, your injuries are very serious." ”
Lin Ba smiled bitterly and said with difficulty, "Those people under my command ......"
"They're all fine, Sedum has broken up the beast tide, don't worry. Yuelu comforted.
Lin Ba smiled and nodded, seeing Jing Chen, who was also squatting down on the side, stretched out his hand with some difficulty, originally wanted to touch Jing Chen's hand, but tried several times without success, seeing this scene, Jing Chen hurriedly grabbed Lin Ba's raised big hand and said, "Uncle Lin Ba, you will be fine." ”
Lin Ba smiled, shook his head, and a few mouthfuls of blood foam overflowed from his mouth.
Just now, seeing that the demonic beast was about to pounce on Lin Ba, who was already powerless to resist, Sedum swung a giant axe and slashed over, directly cutting the demonic beast upside down and flying out, and a deep scar from the neck of the demonic beast to the abdomen.
The monster roared, and finally turned over, but it was Sedum's violent attack like raindrops, and in an instant, the monster that was still full of banter in his eyes, only fear remained in his eyes, and he turned his head and wanted to escape.
"The dragon roared", Sedum roared, only to see a visible red light staining the entire blood-colored giant axe, a huge red blade light swept through the neck of the demonic beast, and a triangular head fell in response.
"Lin Ba, how is he?" put away the giant axe in his hand, and Sedum came to Lin Ba's side.
Yuelu didn't say anything, just shook her head.
"Big brother, I can't do it, brother can only go first......" A cough interrupted Lin Ba's words, Sedum just wanted to stop Lin Ba from continuing, but Lin Ba shook his head and motioned for Sedum to let him continue, Sedum withdrew his hand, trying to control himself from letting the tears fall in his eyes.
"Big ...... Elder brother...... You...... Let me finish, or ...... In this life...... Fear...... No chance...... Said. Seeing that Sedum no longer stopped himself, Lin Ba said intermittently, "I...... Always...... I want to ...... with you Say something, get it done...... I...... Always...... Unfinished...... Wish. ”
"Brother, you say, I'll listen, don't worry, what wish does the big brother fulfill for you. "Sedum trembled, and as a result, Lin Ba in Yuelu's arms.
After a little relief, Lin Ba's face was much better, but all this looked extremely heavy in Sedum's eyes, he had been on the battlefield for so many years, of course he would not think that Lin Ba was a sign of his injury getting better, and at this moment Lin Ba was already the end of the crossbow.
After stabilizing his mood, Lin Ba relaxed a lot, "Big brother, you also know that I don't have a woman in my life, let alone any children, but when you saw that back then, when you took Xiao Jingchen to do a talent test, do you know? At that time, I envied you to death." ”
Lin Ba breathed a sigh of relief again, and then said, "How I wish I could have a child too, and let me take him to the talent test, so I don't know if I should say it if I have a reluctant request." After a pause, Lin Ba continued as if he had mustered up courage, "Can you let Jingchen be my righteous son and call me Dad?"
Listening to Lin Ba's words, Sedum was slightly stunned, and then said, "What's wrong with this, you and my brother have been for so many years, Jingchen is my child, and of course it is also your child." Turning his head, he said to Jingchen Zhengse, "Kneel, this is your father-in-law, call father." Looking at Lin Ba in his father's arms, Jingchen emerged from the bold uncle who had been in his talent test back then, the uncle who had always made him feel very kind, but at this moment he had become like this.
His knees were weak, kneeling in front of Lin Ba, after "father" called his father, Jingchen was already lying on Lin Ba and crying.
Lin Ba raised his hand, touched Jingchen's head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his other hand touched it in his arms for a long time, took out a thing, and said to Jingchen, "Child, since you call me father, I have nothing to give you, this thing is my family heirloom, just treat it as a souvenir for you, don't shirk, I will die soon, this thing can't be taken away, and it is also my heart to keep it for you." Looking at what Lin Ba took out, Jingchen was about to refuse, but was stopped by Lin Ba.
It was a crystal that shone with a layer of fluorescence, this crystal seemed to be composed of countless heavy sections, faintly refracting various colors of light, and when Jingchen looked directly at this crystal, he could feel an unusually rich magical energy.
Lin Ba handed the crystal into Jingchen's hand, touched Jingchen's head again, and his hand slipped off the top of Jingchen's head as soon as he was stunned, and Lin Ba's body gradually became cold in Sedum's arms.
Jing Chen held the spar that still carried Lin Ba's body temperature, and bowed heavily to Lin Ba's body in Sedum's arms, but at this moment, Sedum was facing the sky on his back, and hot tears flowed down his face, the twenty-two brothers of the year, now he is the only one left, even if his heart is like iron stone, it will be melted at this moment.
When the family was immersed in this sad atmosphere, a cold aura appeared instantly, and Yuelu reacted the fastest, pulling Jingchen who was kneeling beside Lin Ba, only to see a sharp blade that seemed to not even reflect the sunlight flashed from where Jingchen's arm was just now.
Sedum is a warrior after all, although he is immersed in the grief of his brother's departure, his perception ability is still sharper than Yuelu, but he just held Lin Ba in his arms, so he didn't have time to stop it for a while
Putting down Lin Ba's corpse, his gaze swept coldly in the direction where the blade flashed.
In the place that was originally empty, at this moment there was a man in black who was shrouded in shadows, or more accurately, there was no trace of human breath there, if it wasn't for seeing it with his own eyes, I'm afraid no one would believe that there was a "person" standing there.
"ShadowClan assassins?" Moondew said in surprise.
"You say he's a Shadow Clan assassin?Soul Eater Shadow?" Hearing Yuelu's words, Sedum also frowned slightly, and said the name of this organization that is known as the oldest and most secretive of the three major killer organizations in the mainland.
The assassin did not respond to Sedum and Moondew's questioning, and just floated there, as if he had no other intentions, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a short time, when a beast roar sounded.
"Beast Master?" Listening to the roar of the many demonic beasts, Sedum's face was a little ugly, and he suddenly thought that his brother's death might not be a natural disaster.
It's just that he really doesn't want to believe that someone would hire a beast controller, an extremely rare profession on the mainland, to deal with his brother, what is that person for?
"Hand over the hedron and spare your lives. A slightly hoarse voice said.
Sedum looked up and saw a somewhat rickety figure appear in the group of monsters, that figure seemed to be trampled by the monsters at any time, but all the monsters surrounded him, but they did not hurt him, and seeing the overwhelming group of monsters, Sedum frowned slightly.
"Your Excellency treats us like three-year-olds, and even if we give you the hedrons, I'm afraid you won't let us go, right? I've heard of the Soul Eater's methods. Sedum looked at the figure with disdain and sneered.
"Yes, you've also heard of the Soul Eater, yes, you can defeat the Earth Armor Piercing Dragon, you do have the qualifications to hear the Soul Eater Shadow, in that case, you all go to die!"
As if he hadn't checked, Sedum casually took out the huge blood-colored battle axe in the shape of his signature.
"Blood Axe Master?" the rickety old man suddenly exclaimed.
"That's right, but unfortunately there is no prize. At this moment, Sedum's face was full of smiles, but the smile was extremely hideous, the enemy who killed his brother was in front of him, how could he be calm in his heart.
I saw a red hurricane blowing, and the monsters were torn apart, and the originally standing shadow heard the old man shouting the title of Sedum, and instantly jumped backwards, but unfortunately he was still a step slow.
"Do you want to leave when you're here? A gray symbol flashed over the Assassin's head, and in an instant his speed was like a turtle's speed.
"Cursed sound?" At this moment, the rickety old man had given up his resistance, and if he could see his face, he would see a wry smile on his face.
For this famous division-level beginner skill, he is like thunder, not only him, even some people who have just entered the organization are extremely clear, this is simply their assassin's nemesis, the middle level is lower than the caster, and the speed is reduced by ninety percent in an instant, this speed is not only the attack speed and movement speed, I heard that even the speed of blood will be affected, just ask, who else can the assassin who has reduced the speed of ninety percent to assassinate.
After only two clear sounds, the rickety old man and the shadow-like assassin were already in different places, Sedum returned to Yuelu and Jingchen, picked up Lin Ba's corpse, and said with some doubts, "......What is the picture of this soulthirsty shadow?"
Yuelu pointed to the spar in Jingchen's hand and said, "I should be here for this." ”
Sedum took the spar in Jing Chen's hand, and looked at it for a long time, except for the light that could refract various colors and had rich magical energy, he didn't see any difference, "Is there anything different about this spar?"
"This is supposed to be a druid's Legacy Crystal, and the reason why you can feel the rich magical energy in it is because this Legacy Crystal is infused with powerful magical power. Yuelu frowned and said with some uncertainty.
"Actually, I'm not sure that this is the inheritance crystal, after all, this kind of thing is extremely rare even in the elf clan, and those who can make this kind of inheritance crystal must be a druid at the level of the ancient tree guardian or above, and the current druids of this level of the elf clan are all highly respected, and they all have family inheritance, so even if they have inheritance crystals, they will not pass them on to others, let alone foreign clans. Yuelu said slowly, she had seen the inheritance crystal when she was a child, after all, she had it in her family, but she didn't meet the conditions back then and couldn't use it, but she wouldn't tell Sedum about this.
"Grandmaster-level powerhouse?" Hearing Yuelu say that it would take an eighth-level powerhouse to make this crystal, Sedum couldn't help but take a closer look at the inheritance crystal in his hand.
Yuelu nodded and continued, "This should be a piece of inheritance crystal that has been left behind, although this inheritance crystal is precious, but not everyone can use it, each inheritance crystal will have its own requirements, this is the condition formulated by the strong man who created this inheritance crystal at the beginning, and only those who meet this condition can use it, if you can't meet the requirements of that strong man, even if you have this inheritance crystal, it is useless, maybe officially for this reason, Lin Ba's ancestors have not found its use." ”
After listening to Yuelu's explanation, Sedum also roughly understood what kind of existence the inheritance crystal was, and asked, "What can you get by using this crystal?"
"Basically, if a person can use this inheritance crystal, then he can not only have the lifelong inheritance of that strong man, but also feel the experience and perception of that strong man when he breaks through every time he faces a breakthrough. Yuelu said.
Sedum nodded, in this way, there is no doubt that there will be a lot of detours, and the perception of the breakthrough can only be understood and cannot be spoken, even the master and apprentice cannot explain, but with this inheritance crystal, the inheritor can more easily absorb the experience of the predecessors and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Then how can we be sure that this inheritance crystal is suitable for our son?" Sedum asked.
This is simple, you only need to take it on your body, and use your own magic power to warm it every day, if this inheritance crystal has a reaction within a year, it means that the inheritance is successful, otherwise the inheritance fails.
Sedum nodded and said to Jingchen, "Since this is given to you by your stepfather, you can take it, you also heard what your mother said just now, you must not disappoint your stepfather." Jingchen nodded and put away the inheritance crystal closely.
Yuelu was still holding Jingchen, and Sedum was holding the body of his brother Lin Ba, and the two flew to Wucheng one after the other, leaving only the screams of wild beasts and two corpses in different places in the wilderness.
After a long time, several black shadows appeared next to the two corpses, at this time the corpses had been put together, several black shadows stood around the corpses for a while, a purple light flashed, the two corpses turned into ashes, a cold and slightly old voice said, "The mission failed." A few shadows vanished in an instant, as if they had never appeared.
