Dragon's Shadow 29. River stronghold, kill thieves
Solve the matter of the five dragon rain smokers, and the next step is to obtain the high-level stealth scroll. Insects squeak in the middle of the night. Going up the Grand Canal is a shadow hiding place provided by Hongjuan. The river in the natural canyon is turbulent, and there are shadows on both sides of the river guarding the national road, and deep into the river, there is a huge stone statue, full of 40 meters high, and the stone statues are lined with old ancient ruins and stone houses that are recognized as dwelling
Huo Yushang and Mo Lan took advantage of the night to sneak along the inner side of the river. "What kind of idol is that? Yushang said.
Lucifer, one of the four holy angels, in the entire Skyrim Province, only the Black People, the Blood God Cult, the Vulcan Cult, and the Shadow Assassination Organization worship this god. Blood, viciousness, lust. Some of these sects have disappeared, while others are still there. Moran said. "I suggest not to startle the snake, but to hit the snake seven inches. And in this place, there are passages in and out of the canyon before and after, and we pass from the front, and the enemy can advance or retreat, which is not conducive to our annihilation of the enemy. ”
"Simply, the people on the canyon aisle, it's yours. In dragon form, I don't think you'll let them go, the enemies in the house and in the ruins are mine. Huo Yushang said.
"This stronghold is not small at all, why don't we wait for the others to arrive before making plans. Mo Lan took Huo Yusheng's hand and told her to act calmly.
"There wasn't much time, and when they arrived, it was dawn. Huo Yushang said, pulling out the dragon hunting sword on his back. Quickly advance deep into the valley.
Yushang's posture was quickly noticed, and small poisonous arrows spat out from the guard's blowing bamboo, and Yushang's body dodged and hid behind the boulder. "The cultivation of these people is not low...... Was it discovered so quickly. ”
A signal shot into the sky, and the fireworks bloomed in the air. The shadow of the valley began to set out to investigate the situation. "Directly in front of the valley, there are intruders behind the boulders. Be careful. The shadow of the sentry said. Then three people drew their daggers and quickly ran towards the location where Huo Yusheng was hiding.
"In that case, let's fight quickly!" Yushang walked away in an instant, and the shadow killers had not yet seen Yushang's face, and under the slashing of Yushang, all three of them were slashed and killed, and the head of one was cut off and fell into the river.
"How could it be...... Quick! I'm a master! I'm above the general, so I'll blow my arrows. The leader in the shadow was dressed in black and red cloth, wrapped in light armor, and held a longbow and quickly fired three shots in succession.
Several blowing arrows and arrow feathers struck at Yushang! Yushang was full of dragonborn aura, and the golden overlord enchantment instantly exploded, canceling out the rushing hidden weapons and arrow feathers, scattering them all over the ground. As Yushang got closer, these shadows realized the strength of their opponents. When one of them was about to ride away, he muttered, "It's Huo Yusheng, Huo Yusheng is here." He scrambled to untie the reins attached to the wood. "It's the horns! It's the Dragonborn!" he didn't look back at the screams from behind.
"Huo Yusheng, why is she here? A couple of shadow killers muttered.
"Run...... Run! If you don't run, it's too late. They shouted.
But when they wiped their sleep, it was too late, and in the face of Yushang's attack speed, they didn't even have the ability to look at it.
The shadow killer, who was about to ventilate the news, galloped away, and before he could take a hundred steps, he was pierced through the heart by a silver arrow and fell to the ground. The horse stumbled out and carried the unconscious shadow into the river.
Yushang lowered the longbow in her hand and pulled out the silver dragon hunting sword stuck in the leader's chest. "Shadows, none of you want to escape from my palm. ”
A dragon roared behind her, a firelight raged from the aisle, and the dragon flame spewed by Moran became a line of fire to annihilate the shadow warriors on the road, and the gunpowder burned and exploded, several people were blown into the air, the corpses were separated, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
"What should we do? The stronghold is almost over, so let's jump into the river. "Several shadow killers are discussing escape routes.
"Let's jump! I can't care so much!" Several of the shadow warriors jumped into the river and fled, and Huo Yusheng tried to intercept them, but the river was surging, and it was difficult to find them. "Well, it's a big problem. I didn't expect these people to be afraid of death! They actually jumped into the river and fled. Raindress ignored the shadow warriors who had slipped away, and walked towards the relict house as fast as she could.
The dilapidated eaves, stone walls, portraits, and domineering corridors are like abandoned royal mansions, stretching for thousands of square meters, with hidden passages, basements, living quarters and other daily visible indoor displays. kept flying in Huo Yusheng's eyes.
"This is the location of the main hall," The door of the main hall was pushed open by Yusheng with one hand, and no one was seen, "Huh! Are you all hiding?"
The rich smell of blood filled the air, "It's really not a thing to worship the blood god Lucifer, the smell of blood is so strong." Yushang pushed open the hall on the side of the main hall and walked along the road, like a research institute, with corpses on display, stained with blood and a bad smell and pungent.
Raincoat walks among the items on display, rummaging through the scrolls of the ancient books for high-level stealth magic. Unexpectedly, several people hid in the shadows, and under Yushang's keen hearing, their tracks were exposed.
"Who!" Yushang sensed that someone was there, and as expected, several people rushed out of the stone pillar, jumping in the stone wall, and several people rushed towards Yushang with daggers in their hands.
"Guben Peiyuan, Dragonborn Gang Qi!" With a bang, from the center of the rain, a golden Gang Qi collapsed, impacting several people away, stumbling into the rubble, and vomiting blood in the stone pillar. "I can't help myself!" Then Yushang's silver sword slashed several people, and blood splattered on the stone pillars of the monument.
"These people are wandering around this place, most likely the troops behind the pads. "The rain roamed the things on the shadow warrior's body, and accidentally found a golden key, which seemed to be from a secret room. "It must be somewhere. Rain said that the key on the Shadow Warrior's body was ripped off, and he continued to rummage through the items on the Shadow Killer's body, and after a long time, he found nothing.
Rain clothes, walk through the front yard, front hall, side hall, greenhouse, training camp, and then to the moon viewing building, which seems to be where the protagonist lives. There was a mess of clutter, scattered floors, scrolls everywhere, fallen weapon racks, and a bed of red futon.
"Found it! Yushang picked up the familiar scroll from the ground, and there was also a high-level enchantment scroll, a poisonous magic scroll, which was also included in the space ring by Huo Yusheng. Yushang held the golden key, "It seems that these people left in a hurry! It seems that my prestige is more influential than I thought." Huo Yu said, stepping on the carpet with one foot, a creaking sound, and felt that there was a little room for the wooden board to loosen.
Yushang opened her feet and turned over the carpet. Sure enough, there is a bottom passage at the bottom of the head.
Yushang tried to see if the key could open the door of these secret passages, "Isn't this the key? I don't need these things at all!" Yushang said, breaking the key with one hand and breaking the wooden door of the tunnel with one punch, and with a bang, sawdust flew sideways, and Yushang's body rushed into the tunnel as light as a swallow.
Tunnels link to several main rooms, "It seems that I still underestimated these people." "Yushang knows that many shadow warriors have escaped from these tunnels. And those who ambushed Yusheng were just a means for this group of people to cushion behind.
Yushang walked along the secret path until it reached a hidden forest downstream, where there were horse sheds, fishing boats, and messy footsteps on the muddy ground, and the horses went to the empty building. There were dozens of people fleeing in different directions. Yushang looked at the crescent moon in the night sky, tightened the saber at her waist, and slammed her fist on the lintel of the stable, knocking down several strands of hay. Although it is unclear whether this will affect the collection of stealth scrolls in the future, a character like Yushang personally crusading against the Shadow Assassination Group is like a wake-up call to the enemy.
Huo Yushang rode the little white dragon back to Qingshui Town, room 302 of the hot spring hotel. Yushang took off the heavy armor on his body, put the dragon hunting sword on the side, sat on the chair, pulled up the teapot on the table, and poured tea and wine to drink. "I'm so angry, these guys are so cunning. Fortunately, I found out early, and they divided into two routes, one group walked along the Grand Canal, crossing Qingshui Town to Dongyuan Town, and the other group took the forest road and went to the Rift Peak Valley. At least judging from the behavior, the information that Princess Zhao Nier grasped is true, and she is afraid that there will be variables. ”
"It is not excluded that they will move their strongholds in advance. I look forward to Princess Zhao Nier's early return. We're good at deploying. Moran said.
"How's the situation?" Princess Zhao Ni'er, straight to the point, holding two stealth scrolls in her hands. pushed the door in, followed by Qin Huaiyi and Lin Xiaoyu. "Simple, just a small base. Not a single fly was released. ”
"On our side, there were forty or fifty people, and unfortunately dozens of them were released. Yushang said.
"Forty or fifty people. That's a lot. Qin Huaiyi said and sat down on the chair next to him. "Wait! You said you let a dozen of them go? ”
"I'm afraid yes, last night on the upper reaches of the Grand Canal, I saw a ruin, which is the stronghold of the shadows, I was anxious, I didn't know the actual situation, the visibility was too low in the middle of the night, but it gave them a chance to escape. Huo Yusheng took out a high-level stealth scroll from the space ring. "Stealth Scroll...... I only found one copy. ”
"That's fine! At least there's something to gain. Qin Huaiyi said.
"Don't worry, they don't know what we mean, the stealth scroll is just some high-level exercises, for them, life is the most important thing. Zhao Nier said.
"This is a big trouble, just take a break today, and you can't save anything if you rush out now. If I'm not mistaken, they will move overnight, which is the worst-case scenario, even if we rush over, I'm afraid we will no longer be in Rift Valley and Dongyuan Town. Let's first search for any of the items they left behind. Then I have to wait for the latest news from my informant. Zhao Nier said.
