268. Barbarians
In the valley of the Antian Mountains outside the city of El, our eleventh squad has been hunting here for nearly three days, but unfortunately these barbarians have probably smelled the danger, and many barbarians who act alone have begun to assemble, as long as there are more than three barbarian squads, we must quickly retreat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After a few days of brutal raids and ambushes, I realized how strong even the lone barbarians are, they are strong and not afraid of death.
Walking out of the valley forest, we were exposed to the silver wilderness, and the harrier eagle in the sky guided us over a few more mountain ridges before we had a chance to catch our breath. After a whole night of pursuit, at last at noon we caught up and went around the front of the savage from behind the ridges on either side.
Beginning yesterday afternoon, Basil led us in pursuit of a lone barbarian, who walked up and down in the mountains, and spent the whole night walking nearly a hundred miles west along Mount Antia, and the barbarian, by virtue of his height, was able to climb some steep mountains easily, and we were not thrown away from it, and the savage found a pool at the turn of the stream, and the barbarian actually smashed the ice with his fist, and braved the cold, and jumped into the pond alone, and stuck a sharpened wooden spear into the fishใ
It seemed that he was hungry too, and when I saw him yesterday at noon, he was crouching in a broken hut, nibbling on a roasted woman's thigh, and he hadn't eaten anything all day, and he was wandering through the mountains, as if he had lost his way, and was wandering around. If it weren't for the fact that there was Basil in the team who was proficient in 'pathfinding', I am afraid we would have lost him.
A big fish jumped out of the water full of ice, the barbarian shouted and grabbed it in his hands, and the green scale carp that was more than a foot long was pinched by his hand, he couldn't wait to go ashore, and directly threw the wooden spear aside, opened his bloody mouth and bit a big bite on the back of the green scale carp, and ate it with relish. Just a few simple bites, swallow the green scale carp into the belly like swallowing dates.
Taking advantage of the barbarians' eating fish by the stream, Cynthia and Ruka outflanked them from both sides along the rocks by the stream. At this time, Xiu had already disappeared, and I didn't even notice when he left, and I couldn't find him in the snowy mountains and forests when I looked around, and Captain Cynthia told me to stay with Basille and Wayne, and not to let me run around.
In the last battle, the barbarian almost killed Cynthia with a near-death blow, and the minotaur Ruka rushed up at the last minute to smash the barbarian warrior head-on and save Cynthia. So this time the Minotaur Ruka was directly brought to the battlefield by Cynthia, and it should be safer for two power fighters to deal with a barbarian warrior, but in this case, Cynthia felt that there was no one to protect me, so she asked me to follow Basille and Vayne to act.
In fact, I think Cynthia's concept is a little too old-fashioned, since we have an absolute numerical advantage, Cynthia doesn't need to fight the barbarian warriors head-on, as long as she is slightly restrained, let Wayne and Xiu give full play to their personal strength, why fight hard with the barbarians!
Basille and Vayne crouched behind the big tree and exchanged a look with each other, although it seems that the archer Vayne has a super low emotional intelligence, and she can't see the perfunctory Basil on weekdays, but her fighting talent is first-class, no need to speak, just a look can get back the other party's thoughts, her sense of war and smell is very keen, I think, this may be something she can slowly cultivate after countless bloody battles.
It was two or three hundred meters away from the stream, and even if it could be shot, it would not do much damage to the barbarians, and she and Basil must find an opportunity to rush forward a distance of about two hundred meters, and then find the best position to shoot, preferably with a large tree as cover.
And I need to be a little closer, my casting range is thirty yards lower than the range of the archers, I have to give them two blessings of the ice shield, although the ice shield is of little effect, but the ice shield has a layer of ice flame attached to it, as long as the barbarian warriors touch the ice shield, the whole body will condense frost, although they are not afraid of the cold, but the movement will be delayed a little, when I killed the first barbarian, I was already aware of this.
"Ahh
Cynthia's footsteps were like the beat of a drum, every step stepped on the rocks by the stream, almost every step could step a boulder out of several deep cracks, her movements from slow to fast kept accelerating, one hand will drag the two-handed sword, the sharp tip of the sword will cut a deep sword mark on the pebble by the stream, the speed increases, and then ...... By the time the barbarians in the pond by the stream spotted Cynthia, she had already rushed dozens of paces towards the barbarians.
The barbarian M did not flinch, but threw away the wooden harpoon excitedly, clenched his fists and raised his fists to the sky and let out a roar.
"Wow~~"
His muscles bulged out like inflated balloons, and he punched his chest with all his might, each punch making his eyes red, and after a few punches, his eyes had turned bloodshot. With a slight leap, he jumped from the pool to the shore and rushed towards Cynthia, the savage was even a little excited, and kept roaring loudly as he ran.
At this time, Cynthia's momentum also rose to the peak, and a huge phantus appeared behind her, which was a ten-meter-high 'Crusader Sword', I opened my mouth and looked at this scene in surprise, this powerful coercion, I had felt it in both Breguet and Viru, it was the pressure caused by their 'potential' to my spiritual sea, Hamasaki also condensed his 'potential' in the gladiatorial arena, it was a big iron spear. But when I saw Cynthia's 'potential' at this time, I realized that the original 'potential' could also grow.
When Cynthia's 'momentum' condensed to the apex, she stepped on a boulder violently, and used this boulder as a jump point to jump high, dragging the giant sword with one hand into two hands raised above her head, holding the sharp two-handed sword steadily, the two-handed sword turned into an afterimage in the sky, and slashed towards the barbarians who met from the ground.
'Shun Chop'
I was amazed that this 'Shun Chopping Slash' was originally an extremely ordinary move, but in the hands of a powerful one-turn fifteenth-level swordsman, it would have such power.
The barbarian didn't have any weapons in his hands, and he met it with his bare hands, and his fists held Cynthia's two-handed sword like a bully.
"Dangchang" sounded, and there was a piercing sound of gold and iron.
Cynthia, who was one hundred and ninety centimeters tall, was directly blocked by this barbarian, her body was suspended in the air, and she was shocked by the force of her fist, and her body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.
Ruka, the minotaur who was following Cynthia, quickly changed his target and used the 'charge' skill on Cynthia, turning into a white light and rushing under her body, catching her steadily.
The barbarian was obviously not feeling well, he was standing on a boulder, but now, his feet were submerged in the fine rubble, and a line of blood appeared on his forehead, passing through the top of his head, the tip of his nose, his lips, his jaw, and his sternum all the way to the lower abdomen, which was on the sword behind Cynthia, the phantom of the huge crusader sword, almost disemboweling the barbarian, but unfortunately it did not break the barbarian's rock-solid skin after all, leaving only a deep blood groove on the body, but no blood flowed out.
At this time, the barbarian also lost his mind for a moment, but he didn't expect that the light behind him suddenly dimmed, and a shadow appeared behind him, and two sharp daggers poked out from behind the barbarian, one stabbed the barbarian's heart fiercely, and the other cut the barbarian's throat.
At this critical moment, the barbarian's scarlet bloody eyes burst out with a murderous light, and a dull roar came out of his mouth again.
"Wow~~"
A wave of qi suddenly pushed out of the barbarian's body, and Xiu, who was attached to the barbarian's body, was violently blown away by this wave of qi like a piece of paper, and after a few heels in the air, he regained his balance, and a few flickered and landed on the dead branches of the willow tree by the stream not far away.
The savage looked at the layer of frost condensed on his skin in amazement, and looked strangely at his hoarfrosted arms, forgetting to pursue Cynthia and Xiu.
The frost was because he touched Cynthia's ice shield, and the extremely cold ice flames attached to his body.
Just when the barbarian hesitated, Wayne and Basille had already rushed into the firing position, Vayne did not hesitate at all, holding the huge waist crossbow in his hand, moving through the forest in a series of broken steps, five armor-piercing arrows shot at the barbarian one after another, and when the barbarian was stunned, they were inserted into his chest side by side, and the two-and-a-half-foot-long crossbow arrows were only left with their tail feathers exposed.
At this time, Basil's first arrow shook the air, breaking through the layers of obstacles and shooting over, the barbarian angrily swung out an iron fist, and smashed the feather arrow down, but he didn't expect that the seemingly light feather arrow was heavier than ten thousand jun, and a huge force shook away from the tip of the feather arrow, and the barbarian was weak, and the huge body of more than three meters high fell on his back, and with a 'boom', it was like a mountain of meat and smashed on the rocks by the stream.
Now that the winner has been decided, the next step is how to kill the trapped beast-like barbarians.
Usually we would choose to let Wayne shoot and kill, and make sure that the barbarian had no room for resistance, and Xiu would wander over to mend the knife.
The most important thing to do is to cut off the barbarian's left ear......
This is the second barbarian we have successfully ambushed in three days, and cut off their left ear, which can be brought back in exchange for merit.
......
The members of the team were lying in the tent in all directions, and there was snow under the wolfskin mattress, so tired that they could fall asleep even if they were lying directly in the snow.
I quietly stood by the campfire, there was a big iron pot on top of the fire gathering scroll, the water in the pot was boiling, and it kept steaming outward, so that the whole tent was very warm, I was in charge of the first shift of duty, and it was also because Cynthia took care of me that I was the first in line, so that after someone replaced me, I could sleep all night.
Ruka, the Minotaur, curled up in his sleeping bag, snoring like thunder.
No one complained about the snoring of the Minotaur Ruka or his orc status, nor did they contradict him from entering the big tent to rest, and when the Minotaur bravely hunted the two barbarian warriors with the falcons, everyone gradually began to accept him.
In the presence of the Minotaur Ruka's rage, he was able to shield Cynthia from the barbarians' with his 'Petrified Skin' and 'Wind Walk'.
As a result, Ruka the Minotaur also gained the respect of the members of the squad.
"I thought Heidi was trying to shoehorn you into me and let me take you to grow up in the Falcon team. After all, I'm her best friend, and I'll do what she asks me to do. Cynthia's voice came from behind me.
She had woken up, out of her sleeping bag, wrapped in a blanket, her toned shoulders peeking out of the blanket, her eyes bright in the night.
"I still don't know her, how could the proud Heidi give up her pride?" Cynthia sighed.
I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I could only be a quiet listener.
"An auxiliary magic apprentice, hehe, I never thought there would be this, your 'hydrotherapy technique' is indeed very good, you are not afraid of injury, you can completely let go of your hands and feet to hunt, use some dangerous moves that you didn't dare to try before, killing barbarians like this is really enjoyable! Cynthia said softly to me.
When Captain Cynthia is usually in a good mood, she will have some broken thoughts, and she will always sigh when she is camping and cooking, and she will tell the stories of hunting barbarians in the past, which are beyond the scope of stories, and should be regarded as experience, and she will tell me how to deal with the unexpected situation in front of me if I am in this and that situation.
In the past, the biggest concern of the hunting team was injury, and if the falcons were injured in the wild, the chances of survival were less than 50%.
"Your scrolls are pretty good too, but Jia, are you sure we'll be able to match the value of these magic scrolls by lighting the 'Gathering Fire' scrolls all night to keep warm, and when we get back to the city?" Cynthia said, with some concern.
"These scrolls aren't worth a few dollars, if we're lucky enough to meet a Demonic Beast in this mountain forest, a lowest-grade Demonic Beast leather can be worth these 'Gathering Fire' scrolls!"
"Hurry up and go to sleep, the hunt has just begun!" Cynthia reassured, and told me again.
I said, "Well, then I'll go to sleep first, Captain!"
......
As the falcons melted into the wilderness, we couldn't find any new prey for the next few days.
The corpse of a barbarian with a cyan tiger stripe totem tattooed on his skin was lying on the snow, there were obvious arrow holes on his forehead and eyebrows, the sharp arrows had been pulled out, his throat had been slit, the severed large arteries rolled outward at the wound, and the blood flowing out of the veins splashed down the stone cliff, and the blood quickly condensed into crystal blood ice cubes in just a few breaths. The barbarian's left ear had been cut off, and the barbarian's face was a little hideous when he died.
Basille squatted down and reached out and pressed it on the barbarian's naked chest, wrinkled his brows and cursed: "There is still residual warmth in the chest, and it won't die for a quarter of an hour, these guys are so fast!"
The cold wind blew up the snow on the rocks, quickly covering up the blood.
The falcons in this area are a bit too much...... (To be continued.) )
